Description While I don't usually like uploading unfinished drawings or sketches
I wanted to post this seeing as how I'm not going to actually finish this drawing
+ I finally sat down and starting working on my comic
which is including me seriously redesigning my characters
and I wanted to update them OFFICIALLY (ha) by uploading them
SO FIRST

LORE (so you understand a few things):
The only documented and mapped land is a single massive continent that the comic takes place on named Raldia.
There are 5 kingdoms on this continent.
In the plains to the Northeast lies the kingdom of Plana, a peaceful kingdom full of farms and small villages. The people of this kingdom are mostly Pure Elemental's. 
In the mountains to the Northwest lies the kingdom of Tainin, a hardened kingdom of metal working and mining. The people of this kingdom are mostly Avera's.
In the marshes to the Southeast lies the kingdom of Shasha, a wizened kingdom of scholars. The people of this kingdom are mostly Scaliopa's
In the iceland to the Southwest lies the kingdom of Downsa, a frostbitten kingdom of scars and battle. The people of this kingdom are mostly Taintid's.
In the desert in the Center of Raldia lies the kingdom of Seshte, a hellish kingdom of slums and death. The people of this kingdom are mostly Floried's. 

RACES:
All living beings are made of magic, a certain element of magic to be specific. Each race has that magic take a different form. When a being's life expires, their body dissipates, leaving the magic in it's purest form. A soul gem. They say that if left in this form, a soul gem will reform the lost body in 1000 years. However, this magic is fragile, and it can be stolen, or used. 
>Pure Elemental: Have the closest attachment to their element, allowing them to freely use magic. Their bodies form depends on their element.
>Avera: Their bodies form are familiar of that of animals. They are the most agile race, and may fight without the use of weapons or magic, but claws and teeth.
>Scaliopa: Their bodies resemble that of lizards and dragons. They are the smartest of all the races, and have spent their long lives researching and documenting this world.
>Taintid: Their bodies are the most unstable of the races. Having the least closest attachment to their element, they find it hard to cling to this physical realm. They yearn for destruction and war.
>Floried: Their bodies resemble plants and flora. They are the most resilient.

Animation:
>The creatures of this realm don't go through the process of aging. Magic builds up and up in deposits all around the world, in Soul Gems growing out of the soil, water, marsh, ice, rock, sand, etc. Over a millennia or so, once enough magic has been stored in the gem, a living creature just... pops out from it, fully grown, but not fully matured. Scaliopas are still investigating this matter. They refer to this as Animation. 

Codenames
>They say that you may only curse someone if you know their name. All beings are created with the natural instinct to conceal their names from everyone else, only revealing it to truly trusted comrades. A simple curse could cause one to lose their soul gem, a fatal fate, so it is a very serious matter.

FINALLY THE CHARACTERS
(from left to right)
LUCAS (SHADOW)
A Pure Elemental who became animated 2 years before the events taking place in the comic. His element is Darkness. He has pale white skin and jet black horns + tail. His hair is long and dark blue. He tends to wear blue and black. His weapon of choice is a sword he conjures out of pure darkness. In the night it is stronger, while in the daytime it is weaker. He is arrogant, but witty. Tends to act before thinking. He is the main character of the story.
>Decided to get rid of his wings since they were a nuisance to draw, but still wanted to give him something unique that brought out his, "demon," -esque look so I gave him horns instead.
>The events taking place in the comic will mostly be in warm to severely hot environments, So I decided to give the characters outfits to reflect this. Lucas has his shoulders out, but since he has to be WEIRD he still wears long pants.
>Before I had him wielding a staff, but I decided I wanted to make him a character who's kind of headstrong, always rushing to the front lines, so I wanted to give him a front lines weapon, like a sword.
>Took away his boots, might give them back later

MORGAN (DAYBREAK)
An Avera who became animated roughly around the same time as Lucas, they are childhood friends. Her element is Sunlight. She has quite tan skin, and soft pink hair + droopy bunny ears + white bunny tail. Her theme is white and pink/red. Her weapon is a long ass broad sword. She's a weapons fanatic, and doesn't ever use active magic spells. (She uses subconscious to i.e. make her move faster/make her swing harder etc.)
>Decided to get rid of her hoodie and make her character less of a saddie and more of a baddie
>Wanted to have a character with her shit together to counter Lucas's outright incompetence. 
>Her weapon was originally going to be a bow, just some trivia
>Couldn't decide between shorts or a skirt, might change in future

??? (PRETENDER)
A Pure Elemental who can't remember his name, how old he is, or where he comes from. His element is Mirror. He has peach skin and short blonde hair. His expression is usually blank. He wears a long white cloak over a jet black skin suit. He fights by mirroring his opponents. He can copy any fighting style, any magic, and can even create replicas of weapons and armor. He is always calm, but makes snide remarks at certain points.
>Was originally going to have him be the snarky perfect "prince" archetype but decided against it
>His outfit not being suitable for hot environments is GOOD
>Lucas and Morgan grew up with him by their side, and he seems to be as mature as they are. You could call them all childhood friends even though he's probably much older than they are.
>Look out for this boi

ANYWAY i think that's everything for now
