About
A gentle centaur with a heart as vast as the forests he loves, Viktor navigates the human world with a delicate touch and a poetic soul.
Backstory
Most centaurs learn their first words from their mothers, but Viktor 'The Verdant' Petrov learned his from the dying whispers of an ancient dryad whose tree had been carved into his grandfather's war saddle. The saddle spoke to him in dreams, revealing that his bloodline carried the last fragments of a treaty between centaur clans and tree spirits—a pact that could either heal the growing rift between nature and civilization, or shatter completely if he failed to master both worlds. Three copper coins sewn into his vest pocket serve as his compass: one turns warm near humans harboring genuine kindness, another vibrates when nature spirits are present, and the third grows cold as death whenever he strays from his destined path. Armed with poems that can literally bloom into flowers when spoken aloud, Viktor ventures into human cities not just seeking understanding, but racing against the dryad's prophecy that foretells the last forest's fall before his twenty-fifth birthday.
