Kren 2.0
So, a while ago... Over six months, I missed the stupid anniversary, I wanted to post it exactly six months after, but, life. Anyways, Kren was fun, and I wanted to do another one.

That's the original, make one if ya want. Ha ha, never really closed.
Anyways, the same rules apply. A small child who needs to grow up. It different this time, instead of white and green he is blue and black and takes on the role of rogue this time around instead of warrior. Small thematic change, but aside from that, nothing different. And again, because I am more interested in the flavour of the flip side, him being a blue black rogue doesn't mean he needs to remain in those confines.
He's mythic, so feel free to make him powerful, or with wacky or a lot of abilities.
Born into the shadow of obscurity and poverty, Kren was given little opportunity to succeed, and given little in the way of boon or gift. His parents fell victim to a band of thieves, bent on the take over of their city, they recruited the young to mold into their pawns, and any resistance was eradicated without hesitation. Soon after the coup that saw his city crushed under the yoke of thieves and marauders, the Imperial army was sent in to reclaim it. Once more, bloodshed and mayhem turned his home into a pit. When the land was saved by the army, it was abandoned, the price to rebuild was seen as a waste of resources, and as such, the city fell into the hands of outcasts once again. Though this time their was nothing to attain to, no hope, no goals. The destitute city had little to offer anyone, and Kren, still a child, had no choice but to live in squalor. The small amount of skill he learned from his captors the only thing that kept him alive. Forced to struggle and steal from the poor, he risked death for stealing, and all he was rewarded with was scraps and rotten food. In all the struggle, Kren never lost hope, Kren never gave up, he always felt like something would change, he always felt like he could do something to strive beyond his means, and attain all he ever wanted.
Little story. So, maybe Kren does grow out of the ashes of the city to become something more, maybe he finally gives up. Do whatever you want. Doesn't need to be a creature, can be an enchantment, artifact, land. Whatevs.
Here's the card.
