"Laughter is the best medicine."
The forsaken king of thorns-The Shrike King!
-Name: ???
-Danger level: Strong
-Status: Undead
A Shrike king who was once a gentle king who loves his people and plants that surrounded the world. He detests destruction of forests and wars, he was beloved by the common folk because of his support of farming, gardening, and peace.
"The common folks all deserve to witness the beauty in nature and a world without conflict, the kingdom ensures that no ordinary person or worker gets left behind."
the king thought when ruling his kingdom.
The kingdom flourished and prospered until a tragedy happened. One of his brothers who was assigned as the leader of the kingdom's knights, betrayed him by defecting from the kingdom and declaring war, hoping to retrieve the remaining fortunes their father left.
"WHY, why would my brother waste all of his time with those good-for-nothings and this whole 'peace' rubbish! No matter, I SHOULD be the king, NOT HIM!"
his brother thought to himself before enacting war.
"I shall snap you to the cruel reality of the world!"
The treacherous brother proceeded to destroy the entire kingdom with his military might. Fire spread quickly in the kingdom and lives were taken. The Shrike King then marches forward, fighting all of the traitor knights until his last breath. He uses his remaining strength to protect and save the last surviving family, telling the family to escape. He soon died, along with his kingdom.
Years passed and the king rises once again as the plants surrounded the former kingdom. He has gained an ability to summon the plants' thorns in the process. And The Shrike King's heart hardened, will all the grudges, sorrow, and regrets he bears for his kingdom's fall. He now walks the earth, looking for his traitor brother for revenge.
-Abilities:
Thorn Garden
he drains the vitality of the target with his poisonous thorns leaving the target either weak or dead. A symbol of his love for the kingdom and his revenge.
The eye of the Impaler
He uses his spear to entrap targets within the field
Design notes:
-Shrikes in wildlife are known for impaling small prey so I decided to add vampiric concepts when creating this Shrike based character.
-I wanted to try drawing different body type for this certain character, so I settled for 'strong and intimidating' type for this character.

I continue to be amazed by your creativity and talent, not to mention your knowledge. I saw the sketch you drew that you loosely based off the Moirai sisters and really loved your interpretation of that not to mention your character designs. I remember reading something about that mythology in the past so it excited me to read that it was one of the things you based it on.
