Character
Overview
Name: Hallic
Tagline: “For the people….., For the species….”
Brief Introduction:
Hallic is known for being the swamp’s
best Headhunter, besides being the twin-brother of Tresh, Leader of an
amphibious race called Sellion. The Sellions are a native species that rules
the swampy region of the Planet. They are elites in combat and even though not as
technologically advanced, they are feared throughout the Planet for they
strength, speed and dexterity. Besides being a Sellion, Hallic’s position in
the kingdom has made him even more protective and he will mutilate any and
everyone who dare touch those whom he cares for.
Purpose
Ever since the
technologically-advanced Aquaborns have decided to expand to the swamps, fighting
and bloodlust between the Sellions and Aquaborns have been going on for seemingly
centuries. For the Sellions, the generations of wars and killings have only
strengthened their bond as a species. Hallic, brother of Leader Tresh, have
been sent out on another covet mission to assassinate one of the Aquaborns most
hated leader, Molgon the Merciless.
The magnitude of this covet
mission is at such a scale that it is kept under the wraps even to their fellow
family members. To them and everyone else, Hallic and the other headhunters
have merely gone on an intensive training camp. After their religious blessing
and just before midnight when the Creeper’s Roots covers most of the moonlight,
Hallic and his trusted headhunters voice their goodbyes to Leader Tresh and vanish
into the shadow of the night.
Character’s motivation
Two
reasons why Hallic wants to kill Molgon. The first is for his people. He and
his brother have the responsibility of protecting both the people and the pride
of Sellion. This is what the species live for and Sellion will die protecting
it.
The
second reason is personal to both Hallic and Tresh. Tala, a female Sellion who
was slightly older first met the brothers when they were testing out basic
Sellion weaponry. Talented and wise, Tala knew how each weapon worked and she
taught the interested but naive brothers how to wield them proficiently. Their
relationship flourished and soon enough, they made a pact as a family.
While
still youngborns, Hallic, Tresh and Tala, sneaked off into the borders of the
swamp to catch the sunset at the sea. The view they saw was grand and
unforgettable. The brimming blue sea was a stunning contrast to the gloomy
swamps and for once in their young life, the entire sun was visible.
Their
view however, was short-lived as a huge curved blade pierced through Tala’s
back, protruding from her front torso. As Hallic and Tresh turned back in
horror, Tala’s small body was lifted like a doll on a pitchfork only to face the
huge and over-sized Molgon the Merciless, who was merely a scout back then. As
combat-instincts kicks in for both brothers, Tala yells at them to run as far
as they can. Tala then took this brief moment to scoop a handful of highly
acidic muk dripping from her torso, and splashing it into two of Molgon’s four
eyes.
As
Molgon yells and flails in pain, Tala’s body hits the swamp floor. Tala then
yells a final plead to the brothers “RRRRRRUUUUNNN- “ right before her head was
crushed by Molgon’s massive stomp. Snapping out of confusion, the brothers
agilely fled back into the familiar swamp, vowing vengeance and never
forgetting the Aquaborn who stood over Tala’s dead body.
Unique Traits
Appearance:
1)
The
most prominent feature that distinct Hallic from other Sellions is the unique tentacle-like
organism that drops from the back of his skull. Chanted only to the best
headhunter in the swamp, Hallic undergoes a religious ritual which accelerates
the growth of an organism found on the back of Sellion’s skulls. The organism
then takes the shape of tentacles and reacts to anger. When Hallic is in
battle, foes will cower in sight largely because of the visual of the tentacles.
2)
Being
through many battles and trials, Hallic’s war scars accumulates and combined
with the tentacle-like organism, Hallic gives an overwhelming image even to
other fellow headhunters. Occasionally, Hallic doesn’t hide his scars with
armour in battle just to intimate the enemy.
3)
Being
the brother of the Leader, Hallic appears calm and respectfully. Because of his
high status, Hallic has to look composed to his people. He has to maintain a
high-standard of composure to his people to give them a sense of security, that
they are safe when he is around them. However, his image in battle or when
angered is entirely different.
1)
All
Sellion’s are protective of their kind. Since birth, their instinct to protect
kicks in when one of their kind is bullied or in danger. Hallic however tends
to be overprotective. Because his position and largely because of he and his
brother’s past trauma, Hallic will even kill other Sellions if they are any danger
to those whom he cares for. This behavior has caused him trouble with the
council but with the help of his brother, he has managed to stay out of any
major trouble. This over-protective behavior and actions are heavily covered up
from the people to maintain Hallic’s image.
2)
As
mentioned above, Hallic looks calm and composed to the people. However when out
of sight, Hallic shows a wide range of emotions. When annoyed, Hallic shows
high levels of anger. This aggression is however, well-controlled and he rarely
blinds himself to rage. Battles and fights are won because of his ability to
self-control and he is also respected by fellow headhunters because of that.
However if he is blinded by rage due to an unforgivable event (etc. death of twin
brother Tresh in battle), Hallic goes wildly berserk and is temporarily almost
indestructible. His mood will then crash when he stops and physical and mental
pain will set in.
3)
Hallic
is extremely close with his brother Tresh and he has no problems serving his
brother. Being the younger twin, he respects his brother’s choices,
occasionally giving insight to certain situations which his brother eagerly
considers before giving out commands. Hallic frequently spars with Tresh,
seeing him as his only worthy opponent thus far. The brotherly bond they share
displays in battle where it seems almost rehearsed as they synced their
movements to cut down Aquaborn beasts five times their size. No one has
questioned their teamwork and if Tresh wasn’t tied down to his Leader position,
he would have gladly followed Hallic for the covet mission to kill Molgon
himself.
