Experiment #3: Lucius Fallenfaith, a new Summoner?

avatar
(Edited)

I was bored today, so I started thinking about creating some double element cards, how amazing would it be to have a double Summoner? You could play the best of Death and Light, for example, it would be game-changing, obviously, it should be balanced because this new card type could change all the strategies behind this game. (So I thought that you could create this type of double cards using artifacts when the lands will come out, but this is another story...)

After creating the card I wasn't satisfied, I mean, I suck at drawing so I used a free license "Monk" image to create it and a little bit of Photoshop, it would have been a boring post, too simple to create, ideas alone don't work.

I am a non-professional writer and I was thinking about a new card...well, it made me realize that I could write its own story as an unofficial part of the Lore of Splinterlands.

So I wrote the story, and the Lore behind this crazy card idea, I hope you will have the patience to read it because I loved writing it.

I think his abilities should fit with the character...

...Lucius had been in Pretoria's continent for too long, it was very satisfying to help children become something more than a mercenary or a cutthroat through the teaching of the Light, but he was starting to feel weak and old, his sandals were consumed and so was his soul.
Too much sadness and devastation were passed under his eyes, and the Chaos Legion which was terrorizing the continent was the straw that breaks the camel's back, he loved to help but he had to restore after long years of sufferance and pain, he was writing a letter to his superior, holding a nearly finished candle, to ask to come back home when a child knocked on the door of the stable where he was resting for the night.

The child was small, probably due to malnutrition, he was looking even younger than he probably was but, even if he was dressed in rags and evidently too skinny to be healthy, he was showing unexpected energy. His hair was black as a moonless night and his eyes were frenzied like they were trying to assimilate too much information...Lucius noticed that if he looked at the Child's eyes he could glimpse a green reflex.

"Hi! I'm Alastair!" said the restless child. "I need some help, my little brother started to feel sick, and my mother told me to look for the old monk, are you a Doctor Sir?".

Lucius, tired and still consumed by his thoughts, kindly smiled answering that he wasn't a doctor but that he could help because he was a Monk of the Light and he knew some healing magic.

Alastair, shelling his eyes, took Lucius' hand and started pulling him toward the village's gates, his family, as a lot of other poor families had their farm outside the city's walls, they were not rich enough.

Lucius and Alastair were walking for one hour, on a path in between the woods near the village, when the child screamed "There! My house is behind that turn, can you see the light, Sir?", his excitement was irrepressible.

Lucius, tired after the long walk, looked up and saw a light, a weirdly green light, arrived at the turn he saw a big Wagon, with green lanterns on it and no one on it when he turned around to ask Alastair if it was a bad joke, he didn't see the small child but an adult man, with green veins and the Chaos in his eyes...

I wrote too much, sorry

Let me know what you think about the "new card type" and what you think about the unofficial lore.

Agreed, cool concept, but he has a 7 mana Legendary's ability set WITH two Splinters at his disposal.

Honestly, as a dual Splinter card, at 4 Mana I think he'd have 0 Abilities and just the 2 Splinters.

That ability set would be broken at 4, Zintar, Lorna, and Bortus for 4 mana, plus a second splinter to pick from

You are totally right, I was just "blinded" writing the lore of the character and didn't think enough to the card, 7 or 8 would be fair as a mana cost

It's a really cool concept though that I haven't seen anybody try to actually make like you have >:D

I encourage you to do more! if any ideas come to mind, I love seeing custom content and lore so I'll be following in the hopes of more to come!

Thank you very much!

Yeah, it is an idea to keep "creating" new characters and lore, I just have to wait for inspiration because I don't want to force the creativity, and if not inspired these types of posts can become boring and foregone.
I really appreciate your words :)
