Description Well.

This is Dyo, the Fifth Knight from the Council. Coloring him was tedious, but ultimately satisfying, due to the massive amount of detail. Not that he looks that good anyway...

Drawn on A3, colored with Photoshop, 10 hours

Dyo Ralrier
Age: 169
Birthplace: Glade Romoris
Wrist strength: 28 tons
Standard weapon: none
Wave weapon: Deus and Azazel


Numbered the fifth Knight in the Omega Council, Dyo is a friend of Red and Chrono, with the trio being the younger members of the Council. He acts as Red's friendly rival in training, and although he was initially exponentially stronger, he came to regard his new comrades as equals during the year of which they joined. However, he was still capable of defeating Red with a single strike from his bare left hand shortly after Red's training as a Knight commenced. Half a year after Red's mastery of the Seal Break, however, they were at least capable of dueling on par.

Dyo was born in the deep forests of Romoris, where he learned the dual-sword fighting style that he uses to unmatched levels of mastery. This Romorian style of combat places equal emphasis on both offense and defense, with the left arm dedicated solely to deflecting incoming blows, and the right being used for fast, sweeping strikes. His Romorian bladework stands as a testament to his ambidexterity.

Dyo's wave weapons are the dual blades Deus and Azazel, which are also alternate names for "god and devil". In their sealed form they resemble twin swords of Romorian design, whereas their first release stage changes them to another form (in pic). Deus, the blue blade, absorbs kinetic energy and transfers them to the attacking blade, Azazel, which specializes in massive Wave-enhanced strikes. His Seal Break elevates their power exponentially, causing yet another change in appearance (this'll be explained and drawn in due time).

Dyo's personality is brash and straightforward, but remains as a true friend and a valuable comrade.

Those swords are so awesome. O.O Their designs are just so cool. Oh and what's A3? I wouldn't mind looking into that.

Thanks! By the way, A3 refers to the size of paper. A4 is the regular printing paper you'd normally use. A3-sized paper is simply twice the normal size.

You're partially right. But I'll post an explanation later regarding his weapons and their use. It's gotta do with the story ^_^
