A Champion For Fantasy
Hello Cubebrush people! I'm finally jumping in to this exciting contest after being a very busy bee for the majority of the submission period. Enough excuses, what am I going to showcase?! Well my champion is a mighty Troll named Danley. He was raised by monkeys after his family was killed by a predator, and considers the trees his home. For all intents and purposes, he is a Tree Troll.
Danley was once an unnaturally small and weak juvanile jungle troll who was saved from the predator that killed his family by the automaton of a young Gnomish inventor that happened upon by their jungle camp, while he was searching for rare ore veins. My final submission will feature all of these characters, 50 years after the initial event.
The gnome named Staniel, having been dependant on technology his whole life, is now even more reliant on it with several bionic limbs and implants. These are all his own creations, and becoming more defective all the time, thanks to the frail gnome's inability to upgrade them effectively, without assistance. He has always been reliant on his inventions to keep him alive, and never put any effort into strengthening his body or sharpening his reflexes, so now he is at the whim of the sporadic functionalty of his machines.
Danley the tree troll on the other hand has been actively surviving in the wild with his adopted monkey family every moment since that fateful day, when he was defenseless in the face of death, forced to cower behind the gnome's robotic protector.
