Did Robin go through major changes appearance or lore wise as you were creating them at first?

Appearance-wise, when I was first developing him, he used to have more platinum blonde-ish hair as opposed to his current white with pink undertones, and used to be a Seeker. He also had less fluff, which I can't imagine him without now... He's always had his dreadwyrm scars however, but they were much less prominent back then--just wing-shaped burn scars across his back that were easily covered up. Now they're much more intricate and spread across his entire body, but that's tied into his lore as well

Speaking of lore... his changes were interesting. He was originally just a placeholder Lightwarden!WoL for my gang of Norvrandt characters to save in this altered-First-timeline I was writing for them... then I wrote him more and grew to really like him and wanted to develop him further. What started out as an AU written for pre-existing OCs turned out to be Robin's canon LMAO who woulda thought

I knew since the early days of his conception that he was to grow up in Kugane, having been adopted by a Lalafell and raised in Hingan culture, but I hadn't thought much about his origins in the Shroud until I figured out his biological family, and then his tie-ins to Third Astral Era Meracydia--both in spirit and ancestry--and the dragon blood-infused Allagan clone of which he and his brothers are distant descendants of... he's come a long way from just being my "player avatar" for sure
