Epsilon is by far the oldest character I have. Having been first thought up over 10 years ago as such he has a pretty detailed story to which I am continuously adding to. And as such and like had happened in the past, his design has changed but by less and less every time so I really feel like I am getting close to the final product. This particular change was partly driven by the fact that I was less and less comfortable having him representing the Zorgoia species because of past events and after wanting to visit that community again to see if it had improved at all, I discovered I had been banned from it despite having never broken any rules (I had originally left because I did not agree with the precedents set by a new rule being added while I was there as I knew I was likely to break it) help by the fact that I had never completely kept true to what Zorgoias had been described as especially on a biological level as I prefere more grounded and plausible traits but this last discovery was the last thing I needed to actually make the change happen creating the Draxirion as a new species of furred Drakes (wingless dragon) for him and contacted
Brevis_art to get one of those amazing ARK inspired reference sheet explorer's journal for him. he did an absolutely stunning and quite fast job with it and I couldn't be happier!
Officially how exactly he was born and how he ended up on the planet he lives on is still a mystery but he was raised by a wise wolf (anthro) around a small shack built by a permanently frozen lake. Epsilon fishes in that lake for most of his food using a fishing "speak" he made with the help of his master from an entire tree and spent his entire childhood and teenage with that wolf being though all the qualities and morals that now makes him who he is. As a pup, Epsilon used to live inside the house of his master but in only about 3 years he outgrew the door that had been letting him in so he lived outside some kind of a barn that had been expanded as he grew until it was no longer feasible to make it bigger when he became almost twice the size of the house itself. Epsilon reached the size he is now around the age of 16 and at the age of 19 he met Oleianna, another of the main characters in his story that took him outside of his comfort zone and out of the routine of contemplating his little corner of the world and fishing to explore the world. exactly how this part of his story goes has yet to be set in stone. but one of the biggest (outside of his physical size) characteristics of Epsilon started to manifest itself when he approached his 60s and Oleianna and those that lived with him started to show significant signs of ageing and he didn't. Epsilon while not being immortal, is Eternal so he will not age past his initial 25~ish and as such, over the next 500 years of his life will become a living legend and great influence to the land on which he lives and will continue to live, Looking after it and the people on it, earning him the title of Guardian of the Frozen Lands.

That's one of the main reason I went for Brevis_art as the artist for this one, I wanted one of those from the time I first saw one he made for another character and on top of it, considerign the limitted technology levels of Epsilon's world it was even better of a fit for him!
The original idea actually came from me seeing star patterns on other OCs with their own references for where and how the stars are. For Epsi I didn't want to have te check where everything was so just saying "yea he grows and sheds them overtime" turns a very complex pattern into a very simple one and makes for a cool tidbit of story all at the same time
