Description
Two more OCs again!! Uploading them in pairs like this is so much easier than uploading all of 'em one by one, Gall is a goliath beetle and Arital is a fire ant warrior working under Majesty!
Gall is a fighter in the Colosseum of Fools, it wasn't long after he was born that he was already forced to fend for himself. He and his thirty larvae siblings had to fight each other to stay alive, leaving only a couple still around by the time they went into their shells to grow into full adults. When Gall emerged from his shell his siblings were already out and gone, leaving him completely on his own as he had to figure out how to use his newly formed body. He stumbled upon the Colosseum completely by accident while he was getting used to walking, though since he was unarmed and new to everything he didn't yet participate in the fights. Instead he went below the arena, where all the bodies were being thrown down after each fight. While he was there he found weapons left abandoned since their wielders were now dead, he tinkered around with everything and eventually created the dual-sided weapon he wields today. After that he spent all of his time practicing, training to join the arena. Of course, things weren't that easy, he lost every single one of his first fights- though he was determined not to let that be the end of things. He went back below the arena, this time taking armor from the deceased bugs down there. He trained himself even harder and then once more made his way into the arena, where he finally became a formidable opponent. He was certain this was where he was meant to go after emerging from his shell. There are often times where he'll still stumble while walking or not know how to pronounce something, this gets on his nerves and sometimes he'll talk to himself when he's alone to practice his speech. In a fight his main attack is spinning his dual-sided nail rapidly above his head, it has a lot of range and the best way to dodge it is pogo-ing until it's over. When not using that attack he usually only uses one side of the weapon at a time, the jagged end for quick stabs and the straight end for lunge attacks. The massive shield on his back prevents him from being attacked from behind, so you have to hit him from the front. The best time to attack him is when he stumbles, or if you can knock him onto his back it opens up a big window. While his shield is useful, it's also heavy, making it difficult to get up fast.
Arital is one of Majesty's strongest ant warriors, he's always ready and able to defend his home and his queen if the need arises. He's quite the celebrity around Anthill due to being a champion fighter in the towns own arena, The Mound, where he's known as 'The Dragon'. He's bested many of Anthill's most elite fighters in the ring and has many awards from his victories. The Mound is a lot like the Colosseum of Fools, different challenges with different opponents, except it's way less brutal. Killing or severely harming your opponent is not allowed and if anyone tries they're permanently banned from participating. After Arital was promoting to be one of Majesty's personal guards the two hit it off, quickly becoming friends. Majesty will often vent to Arital about how much she wishes she could go out and see the world, and Arital is one of the only ants that understand her rather than thinking it's absurd. Like most of the guards in Anthill Arital is very concerned about the knight when they arrive, he warns Majesty to be careful of strangers and keeps an extra eye on her while they're around. If the knight bests him in The Mound however, his views change, and he finally respects them.
