Character Notes (Biography):

Age: 23
Class: Spirit Vessel

Leonhardt is an impoverished aristocrat who currently serves as an assistant official of the Gridamas Frontier garrison. He’s called Leo by his friends and is also known as ‘Golden Leo’ because he fights with a golden sword in battle.

Leo is the leader of the 11th Regiment, which fights at the front line at all times. He gains some respect from soldiers for this reason. However, Leo is not favoured by the aristocrats who lead the other garrisons. His status as an impoverished aristocrat undermines his relationship with them, and that’s why he’s constantly delegated the most dangerous missions. Leonhardt became an impoverished aristocrat due to the dark plot of Braham and House Klavis; this plot was known by many people (including Leonhardt). Regardless, Leo follows his father’s will, which is not to pursue the revenge which will cause uproar in the country. Instead, Leo dutifully accepts the stigma attached to his name.

Leonhardt aims to become distinguished on the battlefield so he can rebuild his House, but he begins to question the purpose of battle. In his opinion as a warrior and human being, unilateral destruction and massacre would be the sole result of this struggle. This devastating sight eventually made Leo discard the path of knighthood and the order of his country to save an elf girl. Unfortunately, he suffers fatal injuries in the battle against Melchior and his ally, the Dark Knight. With his last gasp, Leo makes a vow to Dyshana to be the 'Spirit Vessel,' a position which carries through to Leonhardt's descendents. The pact is a contract of spirit and can’t be avoided. Leonhardt gains extraordinary power from the pact, and this power saves Ellis… and later ends the war in Lucrellia.

Artist Notes:

The first of many for a personal project I am working on.

I am totally in love with a majorly unnoticed game called Record of Agarest War. Which is a strategy game that allows you to play across five generations of "Spirit Vessels," all starting with Leonhardt (above). In each generation you are given choices which will affect how three chosen girls like you. At the end of chapter you are allowed to pick which girl you like (should she like you back) to marry and have have a son with. Thus starting the next generation. Not only that, but, depending on which girl(s) you pick, you can also affect how the future generations will look and play (stats and weapon choice). >.< I love this game!

*Ahem* But, anywho, please ignore my raving, I am now back on subject. As for my project, I am trying to create a family tree, per say, of a picture. I want to put all the people that make up my generations in one picture. But since I notoriously screw up at LEAST one person in every group picture I make, I decided to do each one separately and then I will combine them all together. This gives me the option to recreate a character if I decide I don't like how they turned out.

p.s. I hate scanners. They always mess up my shading. You can't see any of the shading in his jacket. Which kind of bums me out. I really liked the way it had turned out. :/
