Description Welcome Isky Blackpaw, my first and only official TLoS Fan Character. She may not look like one, but she is. Just so you know. Not every TLoS FC must look like Spyro/Cynder/Cyril/Volteer/Ignitus/etc

Made for Pure Light universe of Xannador :3

The design is based of Blue Jay.

Music theme: I'll face myself from Persona 4 Golden -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDr_kr… (such a beautiful thing, I highly recommend everyone to listen to it at least once)

Backstory:
Isky's parents were both from army, so when she hatched, her father, Heastah, was ready to teach her how to fight. Of course, her mother, Cirika, was against such an idea, dreaming of giving her daughter a rather normal life - a mate with kids, without worries of her future. As they didn't want to argue, it was decided that Heastah would teach her when Isky would be a teen and only if she would want it; before that their daughter would live normally, sometimes helping her mother at healing soldiers.

As Isky grew up, she discovered her element - ice. This ability fascinated her greatly, so she often found an excuse to leave "the healing duty" and come to her father for ice lessons. But her father always demanded Isky to practice physical combat skills before elemental, telling that magic wasn't very reliable.

Isky was aware of the fact that her father participated in expeditions outside Warfang, and she was curious to see what it was like.

She trained a lot in her free time even without bothering him - all for a chance to join the expedition.

And she got it when she became mature. Her ice skills were considered equal to her father's, but it wasn't all she could offer; she was one of the fastest dragons of Warfang, despite not wielding wind element.

She was very proud when her mother watched her and Heastah go together for her first expedition. Her mother was against this idea, but Heastah reassured his mate that he'd protect Isky if something happened.

Cirika was right though.

Isky's first expedition was the one that went terribly wrong. Her father was in charge of Omega team, and she was under his command and protection. Or so she thought. It was the nightmare. Many died that day, and many went missing. Her father was no exception - he didn't return with her; she didn't see him after they left the Warfang and separated to deal with enemies.

After some time she found herself alone. She could swore she saw her team members somewhere nearby, but there were none. Just massacre. Blood and death everywhere.

The image of soldiers being torn to shreds and smashed made an impact on her so hard, that she awoke the new attack - Ice Storm. This attack saved a few lives from being smashed by a golem, but what was it in comparison to the main loss?

Upon the return the lists of killed were written, yet no one had seen her father being killed. Could he still be alive? Safe in some place? Isky wanted to check this theory, but she couldn't. For quite a long time it was forbidden to try new expeditions, plus her mother needed her.

Some time later after this failure Cynder came in to her and asked to join her team - team Alpha. The General needed the strongest soldiers, and Isky's new attack could be useful. Isky accepted the offer without much thinking, still believing that her father was alive, hidden in some safe place outside. He could create ice and use it instead water, and it was enough for surviving a few weeks.

She hadn't found him though.

Three years had passed, and her wish to find her father was forgotten - she accepted the fact that he is dead. Her mother still believes that he can be alive, but Isky blames love her mother had... has for her father.

Personality:
Isky isn't very friendly to strangers, so no wonder she's often described as "cold lady". Her team members would disagree with it as she's quite open with them, for her they're like a second family. She's a cheerful optimist, who always tries to find good in bad.

Abilities/powers:
-> related to element Ice:
---> ice breath;
---> ice shards (either as breath or summoning);
---> freezing liquid at a slightest touch of a paw (at will);
---> ULTIMATE/SPECIAL ice attack: Ice Storm* (Isky summons an ice storm that freezes enemies);
-> other:
---> she knows a bit how to heal with herbs.

* Ice Storm's origins come from true ice fury, which, due to her being a hybrid, became a rather unique ultimate attack by combining both ice and wind features

Weaknesses:
She's not very fond of hot weather; normal fire doesn't hurt as badly as other ice dragons though.

Other facts:
- she's quite a fast flyer due to her slim body;
- if she were a game character, some of her stats would be rated as:
---> Intelligence 4/5;
---> Strength 3/5;
---> Endurance 3/5;
---> Speed 5/5;
---> Attack (physical) 2.5-3/5;
---> Attack (elemental) 4/5;
---> ULTIMATE/SPECIAL attack 5/5;
---> Defence (without armour) 3/5.

Sorry it's too long :'3

Also sorry if I'm totally wrong with some parts of her backstory

RusCSI In reply to BlackAlbatross1 [2014-11-25 15:55:19 +0000 UTC]

She relies on her elemental abilities the most as she's not very strong physically. If the enemy is far, she will try to hurt it with ice shards. If it's close, she will switch to ice breath.
Her main advantage is her speed in the sky, so she will try to get a use of it.
Her ultimate attack is "last resort", because it weakens her, she's able to do up to 3 at maximum without rest, but it's really the thing she'll do only when there is no other way. This attack is good for getting rid of many enemies at once or while dealing with big enemies (such as golems).
I hope it helps

Ah so there's your PL fanchar. Isky really has an unusual design for a SpyroOC but this brings some fresh wind into the scene, right? ... at first I thought she would be one of your demons xD...

Her background story is so tragic... I hope she'll find her dad someday. Or have you already decided about his fate and let him die?

RusCSI In reply to Aarok [2014-06-13 16:13:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, she's a mix of wind and ice dragons, so that's why :3 Haha, no, demons look different :>

His status is still MIA, so it's rather undecided. Xanny didn't say anything about the possibility of survival outside the city, so I dunno.

Aarok In reply to RusCSI [2014-06-13 16:23:56 +0000 UTC]

Good idea, to design her after a bird then :3 ... and it must be the fault of Sir Magpie, that I thought so .

So it's the same as with Relan... but in that case, I think, I'll let him live. Somehow, I put way too much effort in his new design to let him be a dead man and it would even make sense. But yeah that would be an indirect spoiler for the comic, even though Relan will not really play a big role in it.
Besides... Jess look so lonely

Ah, it's always a shame when a good looking and rather developed character dies! I like it better when it's unknown for sure, so people can think what they want.
Oh, but that's good! However Aarok won't be so pleased with it

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Aarok In reply to RusCSI [2014-06-13 17:58:43 +0000 UTC]

But sometimes, this is frustating too, when the creator never reveals, if the person is still alive or not. But I guess it also depends on the popularity of the chara. And I doubt, that Relan is one of my popular OCs but one of them, which I have drawn more than once. And since most ppl never read my texts, they consider him as alive, so I thought, hey, why not :3. So he survived the attack of the Golden City and was rescued by someone, who sometimes likes to cooperate with elves and drawves... and well he's red. And you know him xD

Oh yes, Arki shall be very happy but I guess he's already pleased, when he is finally allowed to leave the bloody cave, where he now since uh... 2 years?!

Even her last name is perfect...
MY GOD WHY CANT I MAKE SUCH REFS?! (cause I'm lazy....oh yeah...)
Her backstory is fan-tastic I can't say anything wrong about this character! she fits just SO PERFECTLY in the Pure Light universe (and just a note, I've started drawing the side story "the road to freedom" I'll include her there if you want. It won't be in the first chapter though...whever that would come out...)
And you even put Cynder there
But dude, I really love that you made this! It motivates me so much, you can't imagine!

RusCSI In reply to Xannador [2014-04-10 15:32:46 +0000 UTC]

I wanted her to get one, because Flame, Ember, even Casi got such cool last names

Your refs are good enough, they show what people need to see c:

Oh, sure! I would love to see her in the side story! I'm thinking about possibly making some short comics about Freedom Flyers or PL universe characters after I'm done with my own comic (eeeeh one more reason to end it fasterrr), hopefully we'll see the whole team sets for both Alpha and Beta. So I'm excited

I had to put her here, it was the most... obvious reason of joining the team

Good to know! I'm happy that everything is approved, hooray~

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Xannador In reply to RusCSI [2014-04-10 15:59:08 +0000 UTC]

Well, the point of the last names (in my comic universe anyways) is that first you take an outstanding feature of your character, like the black paws of Isky, or a character with iron horns, like Casi
And then you take a body part; horn, claw, paw, plate, crest etc.
So it was cool it see somebody doing it right while I didn't even have to explain it XD


WAIT! SO SOON? *dies* thank you ;_; You seem to like them a lot
I'm trying to make a list of all the teams, but I got to design them all so yeah, not to forget that more than half of them got killed in a battle 3 years ago (in the comic anyways) So there's an old and current team XD

RusCSI In reply to Xannador [2014-04-10 16:13:42 +0000 UTC]

Originally she was going to be Isky Featherhead o_O But Blackpaw sounds cooler.

Perhaps I was just lucky to get all of it right, hee ;3

Ah, it's not too soon actually xD But I hope to end my own comic this year for sure if I keep doing one page per week.

I know, don't worry! You have to make so many random different designs though Well, you can use Isky and her father Heastah for background characters on the battlefield as they both were there, on that nightmare day, in different groups though. This way you'll have to design... 2 less creatures xD
I wonder if you'll do some eastern soldiers, that'd be cool :3

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Xannador In reply to RusCSI [2014-04-10 18:37:58 +0000 UTC]

Featherhead would have been right as well XD

I hope to finish chapter 2 of mine this year as well and also finish chapter 3, though that might be a little too optimistic XD 
I'll try to make the whole world of Pure Light as clear possible before you start it. keyword "try"

And yeah, maybe instead of an expedition, Iska and her father were already part of the freedom flyers, but of a lower divition (like team omega or gamma) And her father dissapeared during the battle "bloody sunrise" < since that's how the battle was later called. And after that she was asked to join them? How about that?

And ofcourse, my favorite villain is an eastern dragon >:3 he's called "Poisonbeak" He's the coolest dragon I have ever created!

RusCSI In reply to Xannador [2014-04-10 18:44:12 +0000 UTC]

How about a double last name? Featherhead-Blackpaw I bet her mother would insist on keeping her last name (I guess her mother's last name actually can be Featherhead, ahaha).

Well, we have more than a half of year ahead, hopefully it'll be enough xD

Oh sure! It sounds even better.

Holy ancestors, you'll have to show him someday
