It's been a long, hard week of work, but at last, my submission for the @AdRidiculous art contest for fanmade Imperial Knight Freeblades is complete!
BEHOLD, Dominus Knight Theseus!
(Lore attached below)
Some of you visiting this site may be wondering: What exactly is Wares?
In short, it is a heroic fantasy series featuring giant constructs known as Ryude.
So what are Ryude? A rough description would be:
Giant mechanical warriors resembling oversized armored knights.
Powered by mystical artifacts known as Wares, most commonly taking the form of a Persona fitted to the Ryude's face.
Crafted more like handmade works of art than industrial products, with designs that emphasize craftsmanship over mass production.
As a result, modern weapons are rarely seen in the world of Wares. Battles are usually fought with heavy, old-fashioned weapons, with Ryude clashing at close quarters in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
And because Wares is heroic fantasy, nearly everything associated with the genre can be found within its world: wicked kings, monstrous creatures, gods, demons, the schemes of great nations, artifacts with minds of their own—and, of course, practitioners of Word-Casting known as Word-Casters.
At first glance, this may sound like nothing more than traditional fantasy with giant robots added to the mix. In reality, however, those “robots”—the Ryude themselves—are one of the series' most distinctive features.
Ryude often possess remarkably strong personalities. Depending on the story, they may weep in sorrow, rejoice with childlike wonder, or stand apart from mortals with the dignity of gods. Even when such emotions are not shown directly, some are said to mourn the deaths of their Ryude Pilots with heartrending grief.
Likewise, Word-Casters are not quite the same as the wizards of Western fantasy. In many ways, it may be more accurate to imagine them as something closer to ninja—mysterious practitioners of secret arts whose abilities extend far beyond simple spellcasting.

@SylvieClosVT Holy shit that's incredible. I expected this game to DIE, not shed the load like this. Absolutely welcome surprise, I'm reinstalling immediately in preparation.
If even half of these changes get delivered on, it'll be a MASSIVELY better experience, especially the PvE stuff!
