Maru Blacklands is the king of the Luaars kingdom, the great leader who brought peace again to the five kingdoms. He’s the wise, amazing king beloved by all. But Maru’s been keeping some things from the people of his land, and he may not be the leader he claims to be. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep the peace and protect his kingdom, the throne he’s claimed, the nephew he took in and the son he lost. Maru himself shows a very different image publicly than he does to himself. His people view him as the only reason the world of Rinta has peace at all, the best thing to ever happen to this lifetime. But internally, Maru sees himself as the deity of the sun walking among the living. He’s a shapeshifter, and uses his ability to directly mimic the appearance of Kamui, from the tone of his skin to the heterochromia to the color of his hair. He believes himself to be the savior of the world, and will handle the job better than Kamui ever could to ACTUALLY protect the citizens (because quite frankly Kamui does a horrible job of keeping people alive). Think sort of like season 2 Vox, but actually caring for the people he rallies and not JUST power. For vocal references, i’m not too sure on him. I’m currently thinking something like Alhaitham from Genshin Impact, Sonic Prime’s rendition of Knuckles, L in Death Note, Kunikida in Bungo Stray Dogs, characters along those lines! As long as it shares that sort of tone, i’m open to new ideas.
