## **About Icarus**

#### **Appearance**

Icarus is a 5ft11 male Triton with dark blue skin and semi-translucent fin-shaped ears and fronts on his elbows and calves. He has navy-blue hair which is thick, long and extremely curly, stubble on his face and hair on his chest. Bee has said they had a pacific-islander/Māori look in mind whilst designing Icarus.

Like his classmates, Icarus wears the uniform of Delphos Academy, a black chiton tunic with coloured embroidery on the hems and a coloured belt. The colour for Domus Virtus is gold, and he has a golden insignia pin for the house, worn on his chest. The insignia for Virtus is a sword through a wreath of laurel leaves. Icarus' tunic is slightly torn at the chest. On the announcement livestream, the cast joked that he tore this on purpose so he could pretend he'd flexed his muscles and torn it that way.

#### **Personality**

Early on, Icarus seemed to have a puppy-like personality, very energetic and enthusiastic but with a low attention span. He's always positive, sociable and easily befriends others. He always looks for the bright side of situations and is proud of his peers for all their achievements.

As the trio grew closer it became evident that was more of a performative front. He still can be naturally playful but he's also got a tendancy towards seriousness and being quieter. He is also an avid learner, with his written exams seeming to go well and Icarus being confident that he succeeded.

Icarus is also an avid fan of the gladiatorial games at Erran's Maw Coliseum and a huge fanboy of the gladiators themselves.

#### **Religion**

Icarus worships the storm goddess Kord, and grew up in a temple devoted to her. He is incredibly devout and works at the temple as a Cleric in his free time, during the Solstice he and another member of his temple put on a show mixing both lightning magic and dance together before forming the figure of Kord above the crowd.

#### **Equipment and** **Key Possessions**

Icarus owns a glaive that was gifted to him by his mentor/adoptive parental figure when he passed the entrance exams for the school.

He also fights with a cursed shield and Lorakais actual sword that was gifted to him recently.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

Not much is known about Icarus before his time in Erran. He was on a ship from Farrelstadt when he was 9 years old that was hit by a large storm, destroying the mast and sending Icarus into the depths of the sea. A short while later he washed up on the shore of the sea side city and found himself in a temple to the Goddess Kord, where he spent the rest of his youth becoming a Cleric who believed that she had sent the storm to save him.

When he was 14, the soldier Lorakai was admitted to the temple for healing after he'd lost his leg and eye during a battle. Icarus tended to the half-orc and the pair grew close. After Lorakai healed enough to leave the temple, he asked Icarus to come with him where he took on the roll of adoptive father figure.

Over the years it seems that Icarus told Lorakai everything about his past and has never kept secrets from him before. Even when Lorakai moved to teach at Delphos Training Academy, Icarus moved with him until he eventually came to join the Academy himself. It seems as though there was some animosity from other students regarding Icarus being at the Academy, some of them believing that he only got in due to his connection to Lorakai rather than on his own merit.

#### **The Party**

Pandora Di Rossi

Icarus seems to get on well with Pandora, calling her 'Sunspot' and praising her abilities and spellcasting. When Pandora tried to talk down about her abilities, he stepped in to try and defend her and use positive language instead.

Always there to back her up or talk positively about her and her abilities, Icarus constantly calls her 'cool' or the coolest person he's met. It seems that he is always in awe of her abilities and looks up to her greatly.

Mayes Hasegawa

Icarus has a lot of respect for Mayes and gets on well with them, like with Pandora, Icarus has praised Mayes abilities and skills. He seemed to appreciate Mayes immediately sticking up for him when they were approached by other classmates who said Icarus is only in the school because of his mentor.

When they are left together, the pair are a force to be reckoned with. Icarus once again thinks the world of his friend and admires them greatly.

#### **Key Characters**

Lorakai Avitus

Lorakai is Icarus Mentor and adoptive guardian and it has been revealed that the two have known each other since Icarus was 15. Icarus seems to trust Lorakai implicitly, so far not keeping any secrets from him. In episode 2, Icarus seemed to drop his 'happy go lucky' approach to life during a private conversation with him. In this conversation he questioned if he'd only been accepted into Delphos and Virtus because Lorakai had pulled some strings, which Lorakai denied.

As the story progresses, Icarus asks to keep things a secret from Lorakai which seems to cause Icarus a lot of stress as it's not something he's done before. Going as far as to try to avoid Lorakai on occassions to which Lorakai expressed concern.

Damianos Thalasse

One of the Gladiators at the Maw and one who Icarus is a huge fan of. Icarus seems to know a lot about Damen and was a little overbearing on their first meeting. Though showed worry for the hobgoblins safety after sharing a dream with him, Mayes and Pandora.

Growing more concerned that the dreams weren't slowing down, Icarus got a pair of necklaces commissioned that are imbued with a sending spell so that Damianos can get in touch if he needs them. Icarus' fanboy crush on Damen seems to have dwindled somewhat into respect and friendship.

Alexis Leonida

There seems to be an antagonistic relationship between the two, with Alexis unhappy with Icarus' proceding to his final exams. Alexis teases that Icarus is only in Delphos because of who his father is. (Referring to Lorakai.)

It has been revealed that Icarus and Alexis were once in a relationship when they first joined Delphos, but it didn't work out with Alexis always wanting to keep it a secret.

Niklaus Müller

A human man and older brother to Icarus. There is a contract out for his life due to his piracy, which Icarus staunchly objected too. Stating that there was 'No way' that Niklaus would do anything like that though it did take the triton by surprise that the man was even alive as Icarus had thought everyone on the ship from his childhood had died in the storm.

Through a vision gifted by the fates, Icarus learnt that Niklaus called for him whilst the storm was raging even though Icarus had thought that no one had cared when he was washed overboard.

#### **Mentioned Characters**

**Zayn** - Childhood best friend. Bee has stated on during the series announcement livestream that Zayn and Icarus grew up together in one of the temples of Kord on the outskirts of the city and that Zayn now works in one of the bigger temples.
