More Paladad and his family! (Patreon)

So I couldn't just stick with the basic designs I had going for my half-orc paladin, so I expanded onto it to include his family!

Meet Mercutio, a talented dancer and an inspired fortuneteller that met his lover at a young age in the city. The two grew close and eventually settled down after a few years, having two beautiful children named Dawn and Natsuki.

Dawn is a headstrong sort of girl, not one for talking much and was bullied for how she looked. However, the father that grew up with some knowledge of hunting (paladin dad), began to teach her self-defense, and now she grows in confidence and seeks to protect her younger brother, while also trying to catch the attention of a girl she likes.

Natsuki is a bundle of unbridled joy and wonder, loving to explore and imagine up adventures in his little world around him. Mercutio has noticed certain arcane qualities beginning to surface more noticeably in his youngest, and occasionally instructs him in the ways of magic. Avoiding anything destructive or mean-spirited, Natsuki still enjoys playing small practical jokes on those around him with his growing abilities.

However, a shadow looms in the forms of visions Mercutio has had of his children growing up and being destined to fight against great evils, with no guarantee of their survival. A man of family first and foremost, my half-orc paladin swears and oath to find these evils and slay them before his family is put in danger, while still coming back to visit during his travels.

I'm not fully set on the entire backstory, but I love how they're growing and I want to do more with them!
