Magnate: Main Character Introduction

Hello again!

As promised, today's post will introduce you to the two main characters of Magnate as well as some art sneak peeks. I'll show you some of the emotion shots we'll be using for our dialogue conversations and a colour test for each of them. I'll also include a short biography to boot!

So without further delay, I proudly present: 

Aiden Shocked!

Name:  Aiden Wrenlin

Age:  16

Rank:  Captain

Class:  Scholar 

Aiden Thinking

The eldest twin born to Taryn (by a matter of minutes, a fact that he never lets his twin forget), Aiden has spent nearly his entire life on the road with his mother’s mercenary company, Ventus.  He has been across the length and breadth of Adura. He spent his early life raised alongside his sister and kept mostly out of the way until they were old enough to safely handle camp chores.  At the age of 9 they finally began formal training. 

Aiden Angry

Aiden is, at heart, still a very young man, and he doesn’t often seem to take life very seriously.  He faces danger with quips and is always willing to lend a helping hand, often leaping in before he has a chance to think about it.  Recently, his mother handed him control of Ventus, and the responsibility involved in the Captaincy still hasn’t really sunk in yet.

Name:  Kira Wrenlin

Kira Shocked!

Age:  16

Rank:  Vice-Captain

Class:  Regular

Kira Thinking

From a young age, Kira has always been the more responsible of the twins.  She has always protected her brother to the best of her abilities, be it from an outside influence or from his own sense of adventure.  To that end, she took up the sword and caged lessons from anyone willing to teach her.  After years of study she began to put together her own style modeled after that of the Procellan Knights.  She named it ‘Eagle-style’ after Ventus’ heraldic device.

Kira Angry

Many have mentioned that Kira, perhaps, would make a better Captain than her brother, but she will always be the first to shoot that notion down.  Aiden, she maintains, has always had the heart of a Captain within him; he just needs support to bring it out.

And there you have it! The two main characters of our story. We'll continue to reveal more characters from our epic cast. Next up, the strong woman who raised these two and Aiden's best friend!

Dan and I will also be working on something special for everyone. We're still nailing the details before we feel comfortable sharing, but once we get there, you'll be the first to know!
