Description

Day 17 of Inktober, and "Graceful" as daily prompt.

The character is this drawing is a grown-up version of Steve Williams, son of Harmonia (Greek goddess of harmony). He's friends with Meralis, Kevin and Ragnar (he's practically Ragnar's only friend, and that's only because nobody can avoid being friends with Steve, not even someone like Ragnar). He's a skater (he uses both rollerblades and ice skates). When he was around twenty-five years old, he became a world-famous artictic skater.
He thought he didn't have much power (indeed, he had a great power, the power of harmony, but he didn't believe it), and so in order to protect himself so he could protect others, he obtained permission from her mother to take the Achilles Curse, by bathing in the Styx River. He chose his heart as his "Achilles heel". He told nobody that, apart from his family, but Ragnar found out. And in a surprisingly kind gesture, Ragnar kept it secret and didn't use it against him (if he used it against him, Steve would die).
In the Norse version, Steve is son of Baldr, the god of light, and he doesn't have the Achilles Curse, of course, but he's especially resistant to harm, as a blessing from his father, who was resistant to harm as well.

I used actor Tom Hiddleston as a model for this character.
