Meet King Nero

This item allows you to earn an additional 4 bonus Crystals should you include King Nero alongside the character that earned it in future submissions.

Nero is known as the most skilled swordsman in the Forest Kingdom. He has dedicated many years of his life to perfecting his skill with the sword. One way or another your character finds themselves having to face off with the King in a duel of swords. How did your character end up in this situation? Is this just a friendly challenge or perhaps your character sides with the Corrupt opposing the King? Does your character try to talk their way out of the duel or do they take the challenge head-on? Are they an honorable fighter or would they resort to trickery to gain the upper hand?

It's not hard to tell that King Nero and the Corrupt King and Queen have some form of connection. When Necrosis first spread across the land King Nero's parents fell victim to the disease and soon became one of the Corrupt. They took power over the other Corrupt Dextroluma and named themselves King and Queen of the Corrupt Region. How does your character react to this information? Are they wary of the King due to his blood relations with the rulers of the Corrupt? Are they sympathetic to his situation or perhaps they can relate? Or maybe they're completely uninterested in his story?

• Option 1: Draw or Write your character having a sword fight with King Nero, their reaction, or how/why they ended up in this position! 
• Option 2: Draw or Write your character's reaction to King Nero's relationship with his parents! This can be anything from bored, terrified, uninterested, etc.
