Deimos


Here is a rough sketch of the main character of Unholy Paladin, Justin Mitchell. The mechanical beast behind him is his partner Deity, Deimos (the God of Panic). I based his appearance on my own, so no one could say that I stole the design (lol). For his personality, I decided to make him a man of few words, seemingly shy, but with more than enough confidence to face a difficult problem. Most main characters in an action series are brash, impulsive fighters, but I decided to make this one calmer and more intelligent.

This character is much of a loner throughout the first parts of the series; a quiet, serious individual who has a strong sense of justice and fights when necessary to protect anyone who is in danger, but never boasts about his fighting ability. His full potential is truly unknown...

Each of the Deities, in addition to being summonings capable of supporting their users in battle, also are capable of granting a special ability to their user. Deimos gives Justin the ability to interact with spirits. While this ability doesn't really help in combat, it is highly useful for the gathering of information.
