This is the first in a series that I want to start on knights based on human emotions. When trying to take something as abstract as perseverance into an actual character design, I admit I was a bit lost at first on where to start. Fortunately, during the week when I was trying to visualize what the character would be like, I came across some videos on YouTube about the Roman Empire, and how their ultimate refusal to yield across multiple large and potentially existential conflicts throughout history forged their society into the colossal empire it eventually became. Then it came to me: 'Hmm, maybe there's a starting point.' After that, ideas flowed more easily and culminated in the character you see now. I hope you enjoy it and, above all, are able to keep persevering, wherever your road may lead."
