Hellooo, everybody! All right mofos, yesterday you met the men of The Sovereign’s Tournament
from my upcoming novel, The Savior's Champion. And today you're meetin' everyone else.
Some of these characters are important, some only show up for a chapter or two. The point
is if they're in this book, you're gonna meet 'em. Just like with yesterday's video, I will
not be mentioning any major spoilers outside of the first three chapters. However, if you don't
wanna know anything about the characters, you can skip ahead to this time in the video where I will
be announcing today's winners of my TSC presale giveaway. You've been forewarned. Now onto the
characters. First up is Tobias’ family, starting with his mother Yucana Kaya. Yucana used to live
a simple life. She was a baker, she was married to a rugged metalsmith, popped out a few kids,
life was good. Then her husband died and her daughter was paralyzed. Lovely. She left her job
to be her daughter's caregiver, while Tobias took on the role as the family breadwinner. And while
this was the most obvious solution, it breaks her heart. She basically feels like she failed her
children, even though she's doing everything she can to take care of them. Next up is Naomi Kaya,
Tobias’ twin sister. Naomi is the opposite of Tobias. He's an introvert, she's an extrovert.
He's creative, she's sporty. But then the accident happened, and I don't think people realize just
how much you can lose when you lose the ability to walk. It's not just the loss of her legs,
it's the loss of the things she loves, and the things she loves to do. It's the loss of her
friends, her job. So not only is Naomi paralyzed and suffering, but she's lonely, she's bored, and
she's realistically depressed. Now we're switching gears to the palace, starting with Wembelton,
senator and master of ceremonies. Wembelton commentates during the tournament events, it's
his job to stir the crowd and dazzle them with wild arm gestures and embellished descriptions.
He's not a particularly well liked guy among the cast of TSC, mostly because he's a piece of shit.
He doesn't see the competitors as people, he sees them as objects for consumption and entertainment.
Tobias picks up on this right away and he is not a fan. Next up is Bronte's, Sovereign of Thessen.
I know it's spelled Brontes, but that's not how you say it, because names are a bitch and life
isn't fair. Brontes is the current sovereign of Thessen, and father of the reigning Savior. This
means he was the champion of the last Sovereign’s Tournament and married the previous Savior. Now
his daughter has come of age, and the tournament is here, so Brontes gets to oversee the whole
thing. You think you'd be empathetic to the men since he himself has braved the tournament. But
no, not so much. Brontes suffers no fools. He has a very specific criteria that he's looking for,
and anyone who doesn't fit it can die a horrible fiery death as far as he's concerned. Moving on,
we have Romulus, more commonly known as the tournament proctor. Romulus is a miserable
asshole. It's his job to instruct and guide the competitors during the tournament, and he fucking
hates it. Proctoring the sovereign's tournament is like the Thessian equivalent of working at
the DMV. He's just waiting for God to strike him down and end his suffering because the job is that
awful. My critique partner nicknamed him The Grim Reaper, because clearly he's a ray of sunshine.
Moving into The Savior's court, we’ll start with Pilla, an actual ray of sunshine. Pippa is the
first member of the palace staff Tobias meets that isn't a complete garbage human. She’s probably
the only character that hasn't been tainted by something terrible. And it's not because
ugly shit hasn't happened around her. It's just because her sisters have been working so hard to
shield her from it all. Pippa has a developmental disability. So her mindset isn't indicative of
the average twenty year old woman, and a lot of people who love her are really protective
of her. Next up is Leila, The Healer. Tobias meets Leila on the first day of the tournament,
and they don't exactly get off on the right foot. She's opinionated, she speaks her mind, she holds
her ground, and she's judgmental as fuck. But you can't really blame her. On the outside it's really
easy to assume that Leila had a chill life. She lives among royalty, she's surrounded in luxury,
but anyone who's grown up among powerful people knows that shit gets slippery real quick. This
is a woman who casually states that she has no family, a woman who literally carries a weapon
on her at all times. But she smells nice and whereas pretty dresses so clearly, everything's
fine. Up next, we have Delphi, the palace meddler. Delphi is a favorite character among readers,
probably because she's fucking awesome. Delphi is smart, confident, sexy, and really manipulative.
I promise the last bit isn't as bad as it sounds. She's someone you want to know,
not only because she's the best, but because she's a valuable asset. She knows everything
about everyone and she's not afraid to use that information to her benefit or to the benefit of
people she's aligned with. Finally, we've got Cosima, the palace gem. The unspeakable beauty,
the royal redhead. Cosima’s introduction is a big one. After all, the men are literally dying for
it, and she doesn't disappoint. She's poised, and graceful, and has really big boobs. The thing is,
sometimes people can be a little too poised, you know. These men are dying in front of you, and
you're just gonna sit there and smile? Okay then. The last characters I wanna talk about don't get a
ton of page time, but they're still awesome. Let's get things going with the servants, starting with
twin sisters Nyx and Hemera. These sisters are very different. You could say that they're night
and day, get it? Mythology nerds know what I'm talking about. Nyx is a grouchy bitch, it's hard
to get a positive comment out of her. On the flip side, Hemera is bubbly and excitable, so much so
that she struggles with personal boundaries. You know that person who’s constantly touching you,
and seems to have no idea that they're making you wildly uncomfortable? That's Hemera, except she
might be touching your penis. To be fair, her job is to clean naked people, so touching genitalia is
a daily activity for her. She's just here to make your private sparkle. Next is Damaris, the servant
with the angel’s touch. Damaris is the shyest of the servants featured in TSC. She is reserved, and
modest, and kinda giggly. But she's also really smart, and honestly, probably doesn't give herself
enough credit. And my personal favorite servant is Faun. She's the cool friend every rebellious
college chick wishes they had. The friend who supplies the fake IDs, who holds your hair back
when you're puking, who teaches you about birth control. Plus, she's got a bunch of really pretty
tattoos, I'm a fan. The final characters worth noting are the visiting Royals starting with the
King of Trogolia. Trogolia is a realm known for being corrupt and debauched, and their king is no
exception. He's a dirty old man who rules a dirty old realm, and he should probably be in prison.
Which brings us to the Queen of Trogolia, also known as Rosebud. Rosebud is not her real name,
it's just a pet name her disgusting husband has given to her. She's fifteen years old,
and her husband is an elderly man. The whole thing is deplorable. Next is The Monarch of
Ethyua. He’s this really smooth, refined guy, and he doesn't give a single shit about anyone
beneath him. I think what I enjoy most about the monarch is that he has this air of sophistication
that the other Royals lack, but he's still a complete jackass. Last but certainly not least,
is the Queen of Kovhar. Kovhar is the northernmost ally realm. It is the realm of warriors. So this
woman is an actual warrior queen. She's badass. She is curt and to the point, she does not fuck
around, and I love her. I basically wanna be her when I grow up. So there you have it. We
