Archibald 2018 Ref by Halgalaz on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Oh boi Oh boi there he is , Arch was a character who needed a new ref ASAP after the many design changes he go ( that I shown or didn't shown already lel ) his old ref was so freaking outdated I was afraid to see people draw him ===> Archibald

can't really tell much about him as I don't like putting stories much on refs , so I'll just put some interesting facts about him/his design

- Archibald's first idea was to balance out beta Magolor's red design ( nicknamed Death by japanese fans ) so I wanted to do a life/death dynamic but I ended up giving a bit up on it , Arch still keeps the title of "Life Magi" but I'm not using it much errh
- I accidently made his dress look A LOT like lady Mc Beth's from a certain play , ironically green is a cursed color that doesn't shown any emotions in theatre , which is fitting since his emotions are very subtle and rare
- His true age is unknown as he is capable of time and dimensionnal travelling but he uses that solely for the purpose of gaining more knowledge
- He is very tall ! between 2m30 and 2m50.
- Due to a curse/blessing ( mystery~) , he is technically Immortal , he "respawns" into a place kept secret only known by him and Tanghor . His body keeps the lethal wounds as scars , as a mark of his previous failures at doing his duty . There are only few ways known to be able to slay him forever .
- Due to another curse he has skeleton hands , he received those as a punishment for committing murder on his own Magi master for reasons only himself knows ( don't worry It's good reasons ) , those hands greatly affect his life at times and are here as a reminder to the shameful act he committed , he could get back his regular hands only if the head of the village forgave him or died . He escaped before he would be given a deeper punishment and was later banned ( this didn't prevented him much to stalk around the place when he found out he had younger siblings )
- His apperance canonically changed because of his rising abilities and a certain magic artifact , Arma still has his father's previous ear shape .
- He barely eats anything and rarely ever sleeps , but he enjoys a nice cup of a tea a lot~
