Synk | Lake Guardian

The lake is still, save for the constant moving under it. Has anyone ever wondered, "How is this lake still so beautiful even after Hallownest's fall? The answer - somebody was keeping it clean.

In a land, far far away from the fallen kingdom, lay a small civilization comprised of mainly aquatic beings. The leader - a large figure who demands respect, had a child. This child was named Synk.

Years had passed since then, and the chief's heir had grown into a fine young bug. He had learnt the ways of the streams, having the knowledge of what was needed to keep it pristine.

The small village soon aged like every other, falling apart piece by peace. The chief, who was very ill, had given his son a task, "I had heard of a distant kingdom, son. One that is ruled over by a great king. Please, go there, and forget about our home." This struck a chord within Synk, watching as his father slowly passed on before obliging to his task.

The water bug had taken one of the rusty hooks by the trash heap, using it as a weapon for self-defense before taking off in his journey to find this so-called 'Eternal Kingdom.'

Now, the Guardian of the Lake resides in the fallen civilization, doing his very best to keep the Blue Lake clean. As well as trying to move on from the past. He would protect this lake with all of his heart, even if it killed him.

Synk is a tall, brown water bug that has a bubble of water contained in his abdomen. He has two, large horns that protrude upwards from his head. He holds a large anchor as a weapon, a string attached at the hoop end. He can also use his abdomen water to shoot balls of aqua at attackers. He is loyal to the Blue Lake, never wanting to leave it as it is his duty. But for those who don't oppose the lake, he is kind to. He speaks in an Australian accent too. He has a face that resembles a scuba helmet, with a sieve-like mask that covers the front and to aid his breathing underwater. And yes, he is a master at swimming.
