The Characters of Girt - Obryn Moonblood
Creating the characters for Angelika's fantastical universe.
Note
Hello everyone. Girt is important to the preceedings that happened before the events on Erudus. The story is not centered there long but the events on the planet inform why Angelika fled to Erudus and why she reacts the way she does.
Obryn Moonglenn is Angelika’s grandfather. His physical presence is not seen often in the story, but he is behind much of what happens. Here is his character sketch.
What is the planet Girt and why do we care about it?
The planet Girt is the planet that Angelika was born on. The landscape on it is similar to the Silverback Mountain Region. Tall mountains surround small pockets of easily habitable land. This planet is warmer than Erudus and less populated.
Obryn Moonblood is:
Angelika’s grandfather
A scholar who became obsessed with defeating death after his wife died.
Death took his wife from him, and he refused to except she was gone.
Became obsessed with dark magic.
Came up with a plan to bring his wife back by extracting the power of others and using it to bring her back from the veil
The individual behind Mistral and the events affecting Erudus
The person who prepared Mistral’s plan years earlier
Obryn’s emotional arc is tragic rather than villainous. He is not driven by hatred, He is not driven by greed. He is driven by grief that was never allowed to heal.
