So, after pissing a few people off with an ill-titled thread, I've tried to cook up something to deliver an unmasked Darklon with virtually no reference material whatsoever. My original plan was to do a balls accurate ARAH Darklon, but decided to do something else after seeing from impressive ARAH Darklons already out there- Marine-73 and Solomon Witt's work specifically. So, here's what I did instead, with my backstory following, if you care to read it

Arthur was the patriarch of his clan, whose ancestral lands were seated in the heart of Scottish Darklonia. Often referred to as Arthur Darklon, instead of his surname MacCrimmon, Arthur was considered among Scotland's finest fighters, wih Clan MacCrimmon having descended from Scotlan's fiercest warriors to it's most lucrative mercenaries, and a preferred vendor for James McCullen when the seeds of war need be planted. Arthur sired two known heirs to his only wife Alyna (Arthur would have many lovers, and presumably some bastard offspring, following his Alyna's untimely death). Among his sons, Ian was favored, and was groomed to succeed Arthur as the head of the Clan. Angus, Ian's brother, showed no aptitude for the pugilistic trade of the MacCrimmon clan, and was much more successful at drinking and carousing.
Shortly before Ian's death at the hands of freedom fighters during his attempt to incite an insurrection, Angus sired a son with an Irish prostitute. With Ian dead, and Angus unfit to serve as the master of Darklonia, Arthur took a special interest in Angus's bastard, called Connor. Knowing he was not truly considered a MacCrimmon because of the illegitimate nature of his parentage, Connor committed himself to the art of war from an early age, eventually drawing the attention of McCullen himself. McCullen made Connor an officer in his Iron Grenadier outfit, which McCullen considered quite a boon, given that Connor was the bastard son of a disgraced clansman. As such, Connor often wore an ancestral mask of Clan MacCrimmon, gifted to him by Arthure, to remind McCulle of his heritage. However, despite Connor's irrefutable talents, which earned him the nickname "Tiger of Darklonia", he was often eclipsed for McCullen's favor by a young recruit called Duncan. Nonetheless, Connor was well respected among the Iron Grenadiers and Arthur declared him worthy of the MacCrimmon name, adopted him as his own son, and installed him as heir to Darklonia. As such, Connor had no doubt that he would gain the favor of McCullen, and would unseat Duncan. After Arthur's death, Connor ascended as Master of Darklonia. At this time, he altered his vestments from the red and black of the IG to the green and red of Darklonia, and went by the simple moniker of Darklon. Though now a master in his own right, he still held contempt to McCullen for favoring Duncan over himself, and this wedge would ultimately lead to a rivalry with the Iron Grenadiers. Kind of rough, but that's the loose layout. I kind of wanted to establish his IG uniform, the transition to the JoeCon version, and then ending at the ARAH version Last edited by AxonRey; 07-12-2017 at 01:30 AM.. |
