Oakvales hero throughout the years

I had the urge to draw what II think the hero would look like and how his looks would Chang over the years. I was actually really proud of it so I decided to share! (Get ready for a long explanation on why I head canon all this heh)

Asnyou can see I added ages and the main quests he did during those years, I mostly added that because I really don't like how the games ages you so fast. Like, it just doesn't make too much sense to me that you'd be like 50 when going off to bargate prison? Idk just always annoyed me, so here ya go

18-23
I can't remember how old you're supposed to be when you've graduated from the guild but I mostly added the age here because I think the hero slew the wasp queen pretty soon after graduating (yes yes that's the first big question you do but we all know he wouldn't do these big quests all one right after the other quickly so). After the wasp queen there was probably a long while where he just did smaller quests, getting experience and taking notes on how to be the best hero he can be. Also I suspect he may have gone in search of Oakvale before the traidor escort missio? Then its my biggest headcanon that he was 23 when he defeated Twinbalde and found his sister.

24-30
The new look comes right after defeating Twinbalde. He feels stronger and almost like a new person, he knows he's changed a lot and hopes its for the better. He shaves his hair because he thinks it makes him look more mature and hero-like. These are the years he starting to become more well known as he makes his way to Witchwood. Slaying the white balverine, entering the arena and disconcerting just who his mother was is probably some if the most memorable times in his life. Before he has his traumatizing experience of Bargate prison.

31+
Having endured the devastation of the torturous prison the hero feels like a new man yet again. Much like a stone by the beach, he is still strong, but he's worn down and will never be the same as before. Having to face that his mother and sister, though alive, are still very distant from him, our hero still bravely charges ahead to defeat Jack; to bring him to justice and save Albion!

Yeah....I've put a lot of thought into this...maybe I should have just made a fanfiction haha (also in my romantic head I also headcanon that the hero had a person he was crushing on for a long time and right before he left to rescue his mother he admitted his feelings and said he would be back for them....then of course after being captured he lost hope that they would wait for him, but surprise surprise they did wait for him and soon after Jack was defeated the first time they got married )

If you read all that I thank you! And even if you didn't still thanks for looking! Want to rant about your headcanons for our hero? Feel free to in the comments! I love headcanons~
