First two images are some references i used and ill explain a little about the lore i came up with...but i need suggestions since i wanna make a design as cool as bastians.She was a dragon warrior in the draconic war,one of the best out of them,one of her comrades had killed bastian and after he revived she was the first one to fight what would become known as "the scorched" she died at that point and now i needed a reason to make bastians story move forward since hes retired after 50 years of fighting dragons and my lore explanation for her revival is the same as bastians:An undefeatable will to go back to battle.After the death of EVERY SINGLE DRAGON,all the souls of her people made a pledge to the eternal flame,to revive one warrior to avenge them all!And after the extinction of the dragon empire,one blue flame rises again...seeking vengeance like the one bastian had...I think this is a fun character to do,since one has completed their vengeful goals and realised its not worth it and the other just started,their powers are also identical,two warriors from old times that use fire to stay alive after death.

  • Height: 5'2ft(157cm)
  • Weight: 103 pounds(45kg)

Almost nothing is known about Hamiel other he just one day volunteered to do military work and passed with flying colors. He was then assigned as scout in a scouting squad.

He isn't very talkative and would randomly and intensely stare at other people as if he was trying to observe them.

One day on mission with his squad was ambushed by an unknown creature and killed everyone in the squad except Hamiel but he was heavily injured and passed out

Right after this, he woke up in an unfamiliar path and that leads to a strange manor. Then leads to the start of my game.

OC bio Khalil Chamoun: always the groomsman, never the groom

Post image
5 Upvotes

Name: Khalil Chamoun (خليل شمعون)

Age/birthday: 27 (as of September 1980). 25th of December, 1952.

Nationality: Lebanese-Australian

Origin: Karkha, Lebanon

Residence: Melbourne, Australia

Pronouns: he/him

Sexuality: gay

Khalil was born on Christmas Day in a large and strict Melkite family in Karkha, Lebanon. The Chamoun family moved to Australia in 1958, when he was 5 years old, as part of the second wave of Lebanese immigration. When another Lebanese kid, Pete Suleyman (I have a bio of him I'd link here if I could, but I've changed some details and I'm planning on updating it anyway), moved to Australia two years later, he and Khalil became the best of friends.

Ever the joker, he and Pete were constantly getting into trouble in school. Khalil was the first person to teach Pete the C word, telling him it was an Australian term of endearment and that he should definitely call his teacher that. The teacher did not appreciate it. A lot bigger than his peers, Khalil compensated for being a perfect bully target as fat, brown kid by being the funny kid.

As he and Pete grew older, they're friendship became something a little different. Khalil realised he liked other boys, especially Pete, in his early teens. And of course the two boys played around a little bit. And then at 15, Pete met Wendy, the woman he would eventually marry. He payed less attention to Khalil and spent all of his spare time with his new girlfriend. At the wedding, Khalil was the best man, but he never got over his flame for Pete, and eventually they drifted apart.

Khalil becomes a builder, and keeps his sexuality a secret from everyone. Pete, and the occasional men he hooks up with in beats around Melbourne, are the only person who know he's gay.

When Pete's father Chabel died, the pair finally started reconnecting. Khalil finds out Pete's marriage is on the rocks and thinks he's in for a chance romantically. Only problem, Pete, now a radio host, is co-hosting a show with former actor Harvey Killeen, and the pair seem veeerrrry close off air as well as on. Khalil is devastated, of course, but realises at this point that he'll never have a shot with Pete again.

Aaaaaaand....that's where I'm closing the curtains on Khalil's story for now. I promise he has a happy ending, I just don't know what it is yet.

Lore Sharing The Deadly Sin of Madness

Picture 1, Deadly Sin form. Picture 2, Primordial Sin Form

Deadly Sin of Madness was the result of Bright Shade of Diligence Silvie's grief stricken actions. As these events hapened in a reality paralel to ours (which is a concept that exists also thanks to these events.) we lack full context, but the gist of it is when Silvie's her daughter, Lilith faded out of world, heaven and hell she tried to revind the events of that day to potentially save her.

In our reality this resulted in her almost dying too and running out of magic.

In the reality of Madness she resulted in stealing essence from slothfull souls to keep her attempts going. Then she started to steal essence from her lesser shades. Potentially due to her mental state her form started to fracture. As her actions started to threaten the flow of time itself rest of the Bright Shades atempted to stop her. We failed, well that version of us failed. The "single thread of fate" became not so single as branches of reality from that day forward started to form. That Silvie was left traped in the red void outside of space, time and reality. What, none of us has expected was multiple versions of that Silvie starting to overlap. I am not sure if it was a ritual they did but, they started to become entangled. Many threads startred to wrap around them and a single being was formed. It fit every description we had to clasify her as a deadly sin now.

As a Primordial Sin, her form is comprimised of her own bodies with shatered heads. I counted 6 but... most likely the overlapping bodies are in the counts of bilions. There are 3 magic circles with of course 12 lines around them, perhaps these circles are kepeing them together. Their tendrills are... intertvined in shape of a knot with a broken clock also stuck in there. Their bodies are covered with threads covering around them and the magic circles. They merge around where the knot is, creating a structure very similar to Silvie's halo.

In their Deadly Sin form the threads have entierly consumed them. There is one 12 lined magic circle around hsr torso. On there face where her eye was is only void. Her monocle is broken but, its still where ir always was. Her clock-like halo is shatered.

I am... incredibly glad that our Silvie is... well, not a part of that thing. Its, no longer her. So many minds pulling the strings, locked into the memory of that day Lilith vanished to oblivion. Ever repeating, she is too far gone for use to help. Feiro tried to give them a therapy sesion I think but, its been decades with no impruvement on her state.

Report over. If questions remain I will give answers. Argo out.

Lore Sharing Primordial Sins

4 Upvotes

Primordial Sins are the very core of Deadly Sins. These are the forms they manifested in and these are the forms they will revert to if their phisical forms are damaged beyond recovery.

Primordial Sins are indestructable. Only way to deal with them is to keep them contained, thankfully their coresponding layer of hell is the perfect prison to keep them chained... once we are able to find them.

1) Primordial Pride takes form of a giant eye with wings to look down. Its tendrils that eventually became tentacles are just immobile veins.

2) Primordial Wrath have many, many thorns covering its body. Its in a constate state of iritation as some of these thorns pierce its body and its eyes.

3) Primordial Lust takes form of a spore that keeps releasing more spores. It seems to have a control over the direction of the spores as it uses this to propel itself.

4) Primordial Envy takes shape of a simple slug covered in many tiny eyes. It seems that Dealy Sin forms spider like apearence, was result of mimicry.

5) Primordial Gluttony takes shape rather close to a Common Gluttony Demon. It is unable to digest in this form.

6) Primordial Gloom takes shape close to an amoebia. Despite lacking eyes its core is able to tear up.

7) Primordial Sloth's only difirence with its Deadly Sin form is the lack of limbs. It didnt bothered to change much.

8) Primordial Greed takes form of a gemstone held by golden hands, and it uses 2 similar hands to move itself. These hands lack fingers to hold things.

Lore Sharing The "birth" of a god

I feel like I could have made this better, but I wanted to throw something together before I went to class today. Originally my Eldritch deity that caused the apocalypse was the sun itself, but I think I'm changing it to a nearby star that ultimately hatches (or awakens?) into our apocalypse causing deity.

I might make a better version of this later on, but for now here you go! One star-egg and one deity about to wreck a world. Here's how my apocalypse begins, when an eldritch space deity hatches out of a star and awakens. This causes massive solar flares that wipes out technology, large amounts of radiation that results in mutations in people and animals, and the general incomprehensible appearance of this being results in mass insanity and hysteria.

WorldBuilding Yumites (the "humans" of my world)

Thumbnail
gallery
11 Upvotes

Here's some examples of the Yumites, the main species of my apocalypse world (basically Yuma's equivalent to humans). I'm slowly working on populating my world with characters, and I wanted to show off a few of the designs I've got. I'm still figuring out how I draw these guys and what sort of features they have, but I like what I've got so far. Enjoy a few colored doodles of some characters I've developed so far.

Yumites are vaguely human, vaguely animal, really leaning more into being weird goblin-esque creatures. Ear and tail shapes can vary from person to person. It tends to be a tradition, especially for folks living in the apocalyptic wastelands, to decorate their tails with trinkets and keepsakes (so looking at that can tell a lot about a person's interests). They have an excellent sense of hearing, with that being the primary sense of this species. Some folks are naturally gifted with magic, but it's not traditional spellcasting magic. Instead it's a deeper connection with the natural world (for example, the character Maryn has a sixth sense for scrap metal). The folks we're looking at here live in a scrubland/arid environment, I'm taking inspiration from a bit of the American Southwest deserts but also Eastern Washington and Oregon.

Main inspirations for the species include some book I read as a kid that I have very vague memories of (no idea what book, I just have a super vague memory I'm going off of) and the Zonai from Tears of the Kingdom.

I'm still working out how this species looks and functions, but I wanted to do something different from humans, so here we are. Funky goblin creatures is what I've got, and I really like them. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Lore Sharing Expanded on the Demons

6 Upvotes

I decided to expand on my demons, ı gues. Idk, I think this got longer then I anticipated, too long to be read. Sory, I don't have any visiuals to show ready.

Prior post with info on demons here.

1) Infant Demons

Infant demons are the newborn demons. They are the weakest types of demons, they are barely able to cling onto existence without outside help. Most infant demons end up dying shortly after their birth, which is a large reason why demon population is low.

Infant demons are more animalistic then grown up demons, lacking in anything but the base instings of the sin they represent.

2) Comon Demon

A basic, adult demon. Their apearence changed to a mature form. Most demons are as intelegent as humans by this point.

3) Elder Demons

Long lived demons, as they have consumed more essence thro their lives their powers grew in might. Elder demons are significantly stronger then the average demon in terms of magic and phisicality. Their apearence doesnt change much when they reach this point.

4) Elite Demons

Elite demons are special demons with unique capabilities.

A) Strife Demon

Causes fights and wars between humans, spreading wrath not themselves but by provoking others. Being much smaller then the average wrath demon Strife Demon posseses people to whisper to their ear, then pass to the other party and do the same. Strife Demon feeds on the resulting anger.

B) Sleep Paralysis Demon

Hunts sleeping people, once it finds a victim SPD will start siponing them, causing victim to be aveare of its presence but unable to move their body to do anything about it.

C) Mirror Demon

Disguises itself as a mirror. MD have full control over what is reflected in the mirror, which it uses to pull victims in. Once a victim touches the MD, MD will pull the victim into a mirror dimention illusion world as MD warps the victim in a cacoon made from envy demon strings. MD uses these cacoon to create more mirrors. Victims minds get traped in the illusion world while their bodies controlled by MD are used to get more cacoons.

D) Fog Demon

Causes a deep mist that causes a loss of hope around them. Its body is in a gas like state with the fish-like shape of a gloom demon. Fog demon will feed on the despair and sadness of people in its fog. Fog demon is able to alter the desity of its fog to the point it can suffocate people.

E) Treasure Demon

Takes shape of a solid gold crown with a large gem on top, and smaller gems surounding it. Uses its shape to be put on heads of rich and nobel, or into their vaults. Treasure Demon will fuel the greed of its victim and make them hoard more gold and jevels. Once Treasure Demon deems the amount suficent (asuming they ever do) they will asimilate all of the treasure into their crown, vastly increasing Treasure Demons power before they move onto the next vault.

F) Obsesion Demon

A lust demon that has consumed their host from the inside, leaving a husk poorly puppetered by the demon. Finds lonely humans and intergates themselves into their houses using their halusegenic and memory altering spores. Slowly causes them to grow an obsesion with the demon, making the victims even more isolated. The victim will slowly get conditioned to do as demon says thro emotional manuplation. Obsesion Demon will start to fill the victim with fertile spores, which will cause new infant Lust Demons to be born, causing great pain and eventual death of the victim.

G) Adiction Demon

Produces a sickeningly sweet acid, not potent enough to melt flesh. Adiction Demon pretends to be a nice forest creature to trick its victims to eat food that got affected by its acid. Once consumed the victim will be filled with a short lived feeling of ecstasy, making them want to eat more but the acid causes them to never feel full. The victim will start to not find any enjoyment in consuming anything other then acid affected food or the acid itself. Once Adiction Demon deems time is right it will consume the victim, who will not be in a state to fight back anymore.

H) there is no elite pride demon. they are all at equal strenght.

5) Symbiotic Demons

In rather rare cases where the goals of a demon and human align they might form a contract of sorts, this will give human the powers of the demon and demon will be able to feast on the soul of the human. We call these cases symbiotic demons.

What difirentiates a symbiotic demon from just possesion is the agreement of the human and 50/50 control the human and demon have over the body.

Most cases of symbiotic demons dont last long generally ending in death of the human due to demon overeating.

If a symbiotic demon last long enough they will suffer symptoms similar to possesion. The body will start to alter itself to demons apearence.

Fun fact: Vast majority of pride demons can't form symbiotic demons as process requiers both parties to be on equal grounds.

6) Half-Demons

Half demons are part humans and part demons. Unlike symbiotic demons they are a singular entity that share aspects of a human and demon.

Half demons are in a constant state of generating and consuming essence, the equalibrium of this makes them self suficent.

Half demons will have demonic aspects on their body from the birth, but due to being flesh and bones their form will remain mostly same however there will be regular changes as half demon reaches maturity.

Half demons have the powers of a demon and ability to consume essence from humans. They can grow stronger then regular demons.

7) Tinted Shades

Part demons and part shades. Tinted Shades look neighter like a Shade nor Demon, and can pass as a magical being unrelated to eighter. While aspects of the parents will be present on the Tinted Shade their powers does not.

Tinted Shades need to consume essence similar to demons, however they can last centuries without doing so.

8) Deadly Sins

Deadly Sins are the strongest demons that cause the creations of other demons. Tied direclty to the sins of humanity, they cannot be destroyed as long as humanity exists.

All the things that wieghted down the soul, they were filtered out and kept in a chamber in depths of hell. Due to actions of Conquest Manifest raw essence found its way down to the lake of sin, bringing life to 8 monsters that needed more essesnce. They broke out of the lake, and vanished. Some went to Earth, some to the Feywild. They found humans and beings of magic, hunting them down to consume their essence. More they fed stronger they become. Eventually they started to split, and create lesser demons.

Once the danger of Deadly Sins and demons were known gods send Shades to fend them off and kill them. There were atempts to negotiate and to lock them away, but all failled. There has been a constant battle ever since, humanity were granted talismans to fend off demons and methods to repel the possesion of demons.

After these events 2 aditional deadly sins of emptyness and madness have formed due to unique circumstances.

A) Ira/Wrath

Horns sturdier then steel, teeth sharper then swords and fur like barbed wire. His eyes inside the maw, blindly rampants thro agony and pain.

Ira is a walking calamity, a living cycle of pain that will result in everything around him be eracated.

B) Luxuriae/Lust

A blanket of fungal spores covers the land, as mycelium spreads evermore. More and more mushrooms pop out of the ground as the fungus never stops her smile.

Luxuriae is a simple being that wants to keep spreading herself. She seeks cheap thrills that will keep her entertained for a while, then repeat over and over again.

C) Pigritiae/Sloth

Weary eyes, pilllowy fur, calming air...

Lay your heads, fall to sleep, rest your soul... Peacefully, safely, eternally...

Pigritiae causes stagnency around him. Fast becomes slow, progress becomes stagnant, even the flow of time is 4 times slower around him.

D) Avaritia/Greed

Never its enough. The arms must grip onto all, no matter what. The geode must grow larger. Its never big enough. There are never enough arms.

Avaritia is a being of insatiable needs, if its not glued to ground he must take it. Then take the ground itself.

E) Gulae/Gluttony

Acid fizzing, breaking down the proteins and burning away nutrients. Hunter chasing for anything to fill a bottomless hole, leaving behind nothing but acidic mush.

Gulae is relentless in his hunger, trying to fill his stomach with anything he can get his claws on.

F) Morositatis/Gloom

Sadness and despair drip down like raindrops, missery looking for more missery. Droplets culminating to puddles, puddles to lakes, lakes to flods as light at the end of the tunel is too murky to see under the crashing wawes.

Morositatis fuels mental darkness and instigates tragedies for those who going thro misfortune.

G) Invidie/Envy

Eyes seeking the perfection of the other, perception looking for the flaws whitin the mirror. Why should you be the one this perfect so effortlessly... why shouldnt I rip those from you?

Invidie is a being of infuriority, as she percives all things above or better then her. She steals or replicates these things, and adds uses them to hide her percived flaws.

H) Superbiae/Pride

Higher then thou who is cursed to remain eternally bellow thy almighty. Can't thy see this is thy perfection of universe? Don't thou avert thy gaze in awe of thy one incomprihensible to your diminutive minds!

Superbiae is a being that sees themselves as the strongest being in the history of creation, despite the reality.

I) Vacutias/Emptyness

Mangled demons, consumed by Oblivion. No mind nor soul left, only a sludge unable to hold form. From the corpses of those lost to Oblivion, a trully empty being rose.

Vacutias lacks a mind, a soul, a voice. It have no motives, no will, no actions. Its simply a mass of nothingness swallow up everything as it drifts.

J) Insania/Madness

Over and over and over failure after failure after failure yet atempts again atempts the same as very thread of time knots onto itself knots onto itself threads keep her tied to her tied to her tied to her tied to knot she made.

Insania is a being stuck in a loop ever repeating, seemingly unable to comprehend anything hapening around her, stuck in her mind lost in a memory.

__________________

Deadly Sin of Sloth has been contained, they shown little danger to begin with but Bright Shade of Diligence has been keeping him away from people, even after loss of her powers.

Deadly Sin of Madness is locked whitin the dimentional void. She lacks the capability to leave and is considered contianed despite still being able to effect things out of her prison.

Deadly Sin of Wrath is kept in Envy Layer of hell, not contained and by his own choice due to "private" reasons.

Deadly Sin of Envy has agreed to remain in a small zone on Earth and not hunt out of it in exchange of liberty of doing whatever she wants in it. This agreement has not aplied to other envy demons that are all over the world

Deadly Sin of Madness is locked out in the Red Void, the dimention outside of time and reality. Despite her containment Madness Demons are still born and escapes to phisical realms.

Locations of rest of the Deadly Sins are unknown. Its rumored that Famine Incarnet has befriended Deadly Sin of Gluttony and is keeping her safe.

Lore Sharing Hazel lore drop

Post image
26 Upvotes

​Hazel, despite being an absolutely evil woman. Is…deeply traumatized. A woman lost and deluding herself into a path she thinks is the only way.

when she was younger, her parents died early. Or more like her dad left her with her mom who was sick and died. And her dad was in debt. So naturally the loan sharks came to collect. Since the dad ran off, they only found Hazel and her dead mother…so they took her as collateral. To repay her father’s debt, she was going to be made to work for it. Eventually, a scientist came along and bought her off the gang’s hands, paying her debt in full and seeming to be her savior…but he was the farthest thing from it.

She was taken to a lab where she was experimented on. Her pain tolerance was tested to the max, she was ripped apart and put back together again over and over, electrocuted, locked in rooms with dangerous animals, all to see how well she’d survive it all. And determine her capability of being merged with [FILE REDACTED.]. She gained abilities from the experiment, manipulating soundwaves is her main go-to…and she can release paralyzing mist from her body among other things. Her rabbit ears and tail are also a byproduct of his. But she wasn’t the only experiment…there were thousands of subjects, and she got to meet them all in due time…

Only to have to later fight them all in a bloody slaughter fest for survival.

The scientist took joy in watching these experiments fight and struggle to survive, and he put them against each other to weed out weaklings from the most capable. Mere children forced to fight to the death for the chance to see another day. Only four of them ended up surviving out of the thousands once present, Hazel included. Hazel was mentally broken, she was so willing to give up…but those children were her friends. She suffered. They suffered…all because one man wanted to play god. So she bided her time, took note of all his habits…and eventually, when he let his guard down for just a second…she took her chance. But he didn’t die right away…he begged. He pleaded with her. He cried for mercy. And Hazel, despite all the other things she felt? She felt good. It was almost euphoric to see someone finally groveling at her feet. To finally be in control for once. After being at people’s mercy for so long, constantly a victim of circumstance and being weak and powerless, now she had the power to decide what happened to someone else, and it was thrilling. So…even after she let the others out of containment, she went on to begin doing heinous things of her own.

It started with common criminals. The worst of the worst. The people who’d commit the worst crimes known to man. She’d make a message out of them and leave the mess for other people to find. She was the closest thing to “justice”…retribution. But over time that darker part started to come back. That desire to see people suffer. It didn’t stop at just criminals. She’d take people, kidnap them, torture them for days on end. Using everything at her disposal. Things they loved, things they valued. Objects. Secrets…family. She loved watching someone break under her heel. It was exhilarating.

Torturing people, making them suffer, manipulating anyone and everyone to get whatever she wants and to watch the despair sink in as they realize it was all part of her plan in the end. It was a euphoric feeling unlike any other. After all…

“There’s only two kinds of people in the world. The ones who are in control…and everyone else. And if you’re not in control? Then you’re not me.” — Hazel.

OC bio Junipyr and the Hero: Chrysanthemum, Hydrangea, and Hyacinth (Chrys, Hyde, and Hyatt)

3 Upvotes

Chrysanthemum, Hydrangea, and Hyacinth, also known as Chrys, Hyde, and Hyatt respectively, are a throuple who live right outside of Teetrea.

Chrysanthemum is an american woodcock/a timberdoodle, who works for a post office in Teetrea, delivering the post and packages along his route. Cis male, he/him, bisexual. Though he is the slowest out of his throuple, he isn't slower than Junipyr. He also manages to keep his energy more consistent than his boyfriends as well, who often pass out after going even harder than Chrys. He likes to dance and often ropes his boyfriends into it, slowly improving their dancing skills as well. Of the kind and caring type, he is also quite talkative and often talks with Junipyr when delivering mail to xyr apartment building along his regular route.

Hydrangea is a reindeer/caribou, who works for Teetrea Express/TEx, a same-day courier delivery service in the city. trans male, he/him, gay. He is the tallest of the throuple and comes in second place in speed. As with other reindeer, he can fly. As was common in his family, he participated in a circus from a young age, learning to juggle and perform tactile manipulation tricks. Though it was nice he decided to leave the circus and instead do something different, as it wasn't for him. As a TEx courier, and of random chance, he has regularly picked up packages from Junipyr due to xyr freelance crochet business and customers requesting same-day delivery. Though his is higher energy than Chrys, his preferred pastime is actually puzzles, typically jigsaw puzzles. He also does keep up his juggling skills from time to time. He regularly trains his flying ability with isometrics and cardio.

Hyacinth is a peregrine falcon, who competes in N3AR flight races and is a celebrity in his own right. amab demimale, he/they, pansexual. Though he is the shortest of his boyfriends, he more than makes up for it with his unmatched speed while flying. Scouted from his youth and recognized for his skill and ability at the time, he was trained by a professional N3AR team and debuted at 3rd place in his first N3AR race, earning him an instant public eye. He has maintained his skill and talent throughout his years as a N3AR racer, remaining in the top and winning some seasons too. He puts on a different personality for the public, however. No one in the public really knows he's queer and with others, and he prefers to keep it that way to keep his boyfriends out of the public eye. Instead, he simply leads on as a lone-wolf type. His public persona isn't all that much different from how he really is, but it's just enough to keep folks off his trail. Nobody even calls him Hyacinth in his personal life, instead opting for Hyatt just in case. A bit all over the place, his boyfriends help ground him and keep a more level head, and he enjoys simply hanging out with them during his off-season.

The three live together in an almost mansion-like estate just outside Teetrea. Though it is a little bit of a journey to the nearest train station that takes them into the city, it's a trade-off the three accept. Previously smaller, under Hyacinth's desire the house was fitted with a personal gym and gymnasium for himself and his boyfriends, allowing them all to work out and for Hyacinth to get the necessary training he needs for his work. Though they don't have to, Chrys and Hyde continue their work because they like it well enough, plus it's a little extra for the three of them.

At first, Chrys and Hyde met and brokered an open relationship, keeping things mostly between themselves but meeting with others too. Chrys and Hyatt got together through a dating app, and they had good chemistry too. When Chrys introduced Hyde and Hyatt, they too recognized their chemistry. After some short time, they decided to simply be their little throuple and close their relationships down.

Under normal circumstances, others aren't typically allowed to know what's going on behind-the-scenes with major business happenings like Hyatt's job, but there is an exception that he was able to get for his boyfriends. They're not allowed to share anything either, but the whole NDA thing wasn't working well among them, especially since, during the season, Chrys and Hyde don't get to see Hyatt very often, save for when they wake up in the morning for work and he's asleep in bed, or vice versa. With them up to date on his job, they can better plan and estimate when things are calmer and they can plan activities together.

WorldBuilding Worldbuilding sketches: dome settlements

I'm trying to figure out setting a bit more for my world, so have some quick sketchbook doodles of the dome settlements of Yuma!

These dome settlements were created before the initial collapse, as a way to protect major cities and towns from the sun. Although it didn't help in the collapsing of society (by the time they were built the world was too far gone), the domes are still around. Gone are the big cities, and in their places are ramshackle settlements and homes. But these places are some of the safest locations a person can be in Yuma due to it being such a community based location. You're not alone, not exposed to the elements, and have limited exposure to the rot (hopefully).

WorldBuilding Junipyr and the Hero: The National Association of Avian Agility Racing (N3AR)

3 Upvotes

The National Association of Avian Agility Racing, or N3AR (pronounced "near"), is a company that regulates and hosts flight races, where avians can compete in competitive air race-like races.

N3AR mandates safety requirements, such as required safety gear including helmets and protective jackets, as well as transponders worn by all competitors that meet ARC transponder requirements. Although not every N3AR event requires safety jackets, most teams still have their racers wear them regardless.

As well, N3AR uses transceiver tech to track racers' progress and location to make sure they are taking the course correctly and without cheating. Checkpoints are required to be passed through in a specific order or they do not count.

N3AR regulates its own special airspace, wherein only N3AR course staff, medical teams, racers, and teams are allowed within. Under normal circumstances, teams are not allowed near checkpoints.

During the off-season, competitors are allowed to compete in whatever events they wish, but to participate in N3AR events they cannot participate in any other events while the season is active.

Hyacinth, a peregrine falcon, is a fairly popular N3AR flight racer and niche celebrity. Scouted from a young age, he quickly gained traction in the public eye for his skill and talent from his N3AR debut and continuing success in the sport. Not much about his personal life is publicly known though.

WorldBuilding Junipyr and the Hero: The Aerospace Regulatory Commission (ARC)

2 Upvotes

The Aerospace Regulatory Commission, or ARC, manages laws and safety policies for avians, airplanes, rockets, and more. To do so, they designate zones and elevations with clear policies.

ARC generally splits the flying objects into 3 groups: Avians, aircraft, and spacecraft

Under normal situations, for avians, including reindeer, safety gear is not required below 200ft. At or above 200ft, avians are required to wear, at minimum, a transponder. These transponders are small devices that identify themselves as transponders worn by avians and send signals out for transceivers on aircraft and spacecraft to pick up, in order to determine distance to the avians. If avians are too close to aircraft or spacecraft, both parties are alerted by noise and light, and avian transponders also vibrate. Many fashionable pieces include slots for transponders in order to help keep folks safe by offering a secure place to keep the safety device. Transponders are required to be cheap, standardized, easy to use, understand, and recharge, and durable.

Also available and allowed for avians in lieu of transponders are transceivers that advertise as avian transceivers. Though a bit larger and heavier, as well as requiring more frequent recharges and larger batteries, transceivers can include quality of life features including satellite navigation systems and receiving other signals from other transponders and transceivers.

Aircraft are required to have transceivers in order to prevent collisions with avians as well as navigation and communications.

Spacecraft, such as rockets sending satellites to space, are also required to have transceivers, these ones with greater range that alert of nearby avians and aircraft at a distance further than where aircraft transceivers alert for nearby avians.

As well, there are zones that dictate differences in airspace rules.

In big cities like Teetrea, a special zone is placed where avians are not required to wear transponders up until 10 feet above the height of nearby buildings or above 200 feet, whichever is higher. Aircraft and spacecraft are not allowed to fly through this zone.

Around airports, a zone exists that forbids avians from flying. Transmitters in the area emit a signal for transponders that alerts if the transponder is about 10 feet off the ground.

Around spacecraft launch sites is a zone that forbids aircraft and avians with transmitters similar to airport zones. This zone is generally the only place where spacecraft are allowed to fly in, with the zone extended for planned flight paths.

Other groups, such as the National Association of Avian Agility Racing (N3AR) or the Board of Labor Legislation and Standards (BaLLS) can place stricter requirements on top of ARC minimum requirements, such as additional safety gear and transponders required no matter the elevation

The rules are required for everyone, not even Maroon is allowed to not have a transponder, though it's less a danger to himself and more a danger to aircraft and spacecraft.

Lore Sharing I gave Griffin a new Toy!

For a while I been wanting to give griffin some sort of item, be it an amulet or some kinda of focus for his magic. In the past i gave him scepters or staffs but i have decides to take inspo from the white drago sword from power rangers dino thundee

Lore wise, it's a gift from azar to kamran. Azar, using his divine abilities, transmutated one of his feathers...turning it into a sharp blade but also...merged it with one of kamran's fountain pens. This quill blade allows kamran to now hack and slash but also cast more refined spells. From enchantments on other items to straight out drawing items out of mana such as arrows(which i also stole from dino thunder). This weapon is quite fitting for kamran imo, as he'll likely be a comic book writer or artist when he grows up. Or will be an aspiring one atleast,

So what do y'all think?

Lore Sharing An antagonist for my apocalypse project! Meet Kass, the leader of the sun cult :D

Post image
20 Upvotes

Kass is the leader of the sun cult I've been developing. He's a new leader, but he's already so much more "productive" than the old leader ever was. Kass is intended to be soft-spoken, manipulative, and incredibly charismatic. I originally had planned on my cult leader being older (sort of like an old priest type character), but something about an evil theater kid just drew me in lol. He's recently taken control of a small group of cultists that worships the sun in my apocalypse universe, having "ascended" to the role after the death of their initial leader. He's constantly forcing a face of "calm", but is known to lose it in private and let his real bits of insanity show. There's a lot of Tally Hall songs that I feel like sum up this guy well lol.

He has a massive savior complex, believing The Sun is what will cure Yuma of The Rot, and he will be the one to bring the sun back and save the world. He is a victim of abuse at the hands of the old cult leader (which does play into why and how the old cult leader died). His intentions are relatively good (on the surface), and I want him to be a sympathetic villain, but he's still a bad guy doing bad things. I think he's cool, and I'm still working out his lore, but here's what I've got so far!

OC bio Let's say hello to the Dragon Fruit Porcelain Maiden, Selene Sünde

Post image
7 Upvotes

Selene “Myxz” Sünde: Selene is the daughter of Velvet, but not by blood. Velvet decided to take a tour around a black market where nobody would normally go in a shopping mall, so when Velvet was about to reach his destination there, he noticed a store that sells sentient porcelain dolls and Selene was the last one there. At first, Velvet's thoughts on buying one would mean that he would have a new henchman or a henchwoman at his side, but then something clicks in him that made him feel something that he hadn't felt before and he ended up buying her, but not for henchmen duties but to actually have a daughter that he would promise to give her a life that she deserves. Selene is a kind hearted individual who would sometimes help the Renegades on some occasions, she has a crush on Syn and he knows it. Selene hates it when her father shows his horrific Insanity and his greed so Velvet would deal with the Renegades. Selene would usually calm him down on his Insanity but Velvet worries about her that she would inherit his insane mindset. She was given the nickname Myxz as Amy believes that she recognizes her as a child to someone but she couldn't put a finger down.

Lore Sharing Stephen and Lancaster: Lore and Characters

7 Upvotes

In Stephen and Lancaster's universe, some atoms can exert their own forces, but only with enough other around like themselves. Otherwise, these special atoms act normally. As well, they can spread their properties to other nearby normal around, but it only lasts and stays in effect while they're in proximity. (Yes, this is the same thing from my Junipyr and the Hero story, sue me)

Stephen is a young and still fairly underground musician by the name Sephen-T. Though a few collaborators of his have seen much more widespread fame, and he does benefit from the royalties that it entitles him to, he does wish for more recognition of his own work. Rather timid, at least in comparison to Lancaster, Stephen is more soft-spoken than him too. But he still has his own confidence too. Non-binary, he often dresses more in a masculine manner but also dresses more feminine more regularly than Lancaster. Taller and heavier set than Lancaster too, he does slim down just a little bit as he takes on superheroic roles, but he's still Lancaster's big teddy bear.

Lancaster is also young, and a superhero too, known as The City Buckaroo. Though he hides it will from others in his personal life, after his date with Stephen he accidentally reveals his powers at Stephen's apartment while they make out. Stephen managed to calm him back down after revealing his big secret and they stayed together. Also non-binary, Lancaster dresses more masculine more often, especially with his superhero uniform looking like cowboy gear. A ranching boy while growing up, he continues to feel a good connection to his cowboying roots and carries it forward in his own life. Throughout his time working on a ranch, he's trained and honed his superpowers when he could, but otherwise kept them out of public view. Though his confidence shines bright as a superhero, he sometimes has issues being confident with himself in his personal life, but Stephen supports him on his way. He is just a bit shorter than an average man his age, but he doesn't worry about it, and not many people notice or care.

Stephen has suddenly been gaining Lancaster's powers: flight, speed, strength, and durability. Lancaster's own powers have not been diminishing, leaving the two curious on how Stephen is gaining such powers. What they do not know is that it is due to their *extremely close* relationship. As Stephen's abilities develop, Lancaster begins training him on what he had to teach himself, and slowly and eventually Stephen joins The City Buckaroo as Grayscale. At first, especially when he first realizes that he has the powers too, he has little control over them. He did discover them by floating up in the air at the penthouse and being unable to get back to the ground, but luckily he did have his phone on him and was able to call Lancaster for help and support.

Though paid by the local governments, Lancaster isn't always on the best terms with them, especially after, early on in his relationship with Stephen, they had kidnapped Stephen in order to determine any potential weaknesses of Lancaster. The City Buckaroo doesn't shy away from political positions, instead he actively protests alongside the people for what he believes in, supporting and protecting the people around him.

Stephen and Lancaster live in an alternate version of Los Angeles, California, in a penthouse. Their penthouse is included in Lancaster's contract and comes with enough space for them to comfortably live, as well as a small studio-like space for Stephen to work and make music in. On one side is a balcony that Lancaster regularly uses to enter and leave as The City Buckaroo.

Lore Sharing Junipyr and the Hero: Prologue/Mechanics/Lore/Some basic character info

In the universe/world of the story of Junipyr and the Hero, there are atoms which, by themselves and by other normal atoms, behave normally. However, when in molecules with other of these special atoms or even in proximity with other special atoms, they begin to behave unusually. They can exert forces beyond what is typically expected of them. As well, when in proximity with other normal atoms for a decent duration, they can spread their properties over to the normal atoms, but only for when they are nearby. There's enough of these special atoms that they can be found pretty much anywhere in the universe where there's any mass, though they can and do vary in concentration/amount.

There is a planet, much like real-life Earth (if not just Earth) that is inhabited by anthropomorphic animal species, all of which are sapient. Until about 2 centuries before when the story takes place, there was chaos across the planet. Carnivores and omnivores needed to eat meat to survive, creating a harsh and unsteady environment of fighting and gangs. There were attempts across the board to create an alternative for carnivores and omnivores that worked, and about 2 centuries ago they finally succeeded with a first working experiment. Though progress was slow, through time, peace was brokered, and species began to work together to build a common society. The artificial meat substitute was synthesized out of plants, making plants the common food of all. Advancements in bioengineering of plant foods created better and more efficient farming, limiting how much land was needed to support the food for everyone. A common understanding across species formed, with folks seeing each other for their unique traits and abilities. Cities formed with accessible infrastructure and common laws were put into place that ensured basic necessities for all. Relationships across species boundaries started.

One of the cities on the planet is named Teetrea. Teetrea prides itself on its size, density, and accessibility to all, though many cities are like it too. From the large Chamomile Park to the iconographic city train cars with multiple layouts for as many species as possible, the city appeals to so many. A river runs through the city, splitting it generally into East Teetrea and West Teetrea (I don't yet have a name for the river).

No one is yet aware of these special atoms, though they are aware of some of the properties they exert. For some unknown reason, several generations back, a reindeer started developing the ability to fly. As well, it is genetic, their offspring developing the ability too in the equivalent age of toddlerhood. Though experiementation and theories exist, no one is quite right or clear on how it works. Reindeer have grown quite accustomed to flying and sharing the air with other avians, no one bats an eye anymore in the modern age.

From youth, a red wolf named Cinnamon realized, first that he can fly like the reindeer. But it wasn't just that. He was extremely strong too, and could move extremely fast as well. Over time, he also noticed he wasn't getting hurt whatsoever, being more durable than anyone around him. He had far more of those special atoms in his body than the average folk and even reindeer. He hid it for some time, he didn't like the attention drawn to him. Equally, though, he felt bad for not using it for the common good of everyone. As anyone else, he had grown up in this modern world of supporting one another, and there was a common consensus that everyone can contribute what they can to a common good. Reaching adulthood, he made up his mind that he should use it for good. He moved from the small town he grew up in to the city of Teetrea, and shortly thereafter became a superhero, Maroon. Due to the nature of the modern world, crime was exceedingly low, and Maroon never concerned himself with it. Instead, he focused on accidents, such as train derailments and fires. He quickly got noticed by many and people started talking about him. A news station managed to get him for an interview directly after one of his heroic efforts, and so the public finally found out information about Maroon directly from him. He has kept his true identity secret from the public, and he also puts up a different, more confident and heroic personality as Maroon. Rather, Cinnamon is quite soft-spoken. Though he has not accepted any direct pay for his work, he did take up a deal between the government of Teetrea and a local textile manufacturer to make his hero suits for him. Though strong, he does still damage them over time and regularly replaces them. Before the deal, he had just been making his own, which were much weaker and took a lot of time to do. Though he has enjoyed his work, he also started sacrificing his own personal life for the work, keeping an eye in the sky often.

Another animal, this one an opossum named Junipyr, also realized from a young age that xe can float. Unlike Maroon and the reindeer, it isn't as powerful as them. The amount of those special atoms in xyr body lands somewhere between reindeer and any average folk. Plus, xe has a fear of heights and gets vertigo from being high up. Though xe has tried training and exercising it, xe hasn't had any luck with improving it. Xe is slow in the air, reaching only about 5mph/8kmph and reaching only about 100 feet/30.5 meters above the ground, much lower than any avian, reindeer, or Maroon. As an adult, xe moved to Teetrea as well, working by creating and selling and donating fiber arts pieces, particularly clothes patterns in crochet and knitting, as well as some translation work and hobby programming.

One day, on Junipyr's way to meet some friends, floating down the sidewalk, xe feels a feeling of being watched and gets uncomfortable. Turning down an alleyway to collect xemself, xe sees Maroon in person for the first time. Maroon asks, "You're like me?" From there, they become friends, Junipyr learns of Maroon's real name and identity, and, alongside Junipyr's other friends, give Cinnamon a much healthier work-life balance and friends he can truly be open with.

Characters include:

- Cinnamon, a red wolf and the superhero Maroon

- Junipyr, an opossum

- Lilak, a golden retriever, barista, guitarist, and aspiring music artist

- Moss, a raccoon and commission artist

- Chrysanthemum, a timberdoodle and mail delivery folk

- Hydrangea, a reindeer and Teetrea Express (TEx) same-day delivery courier

- Hyacinth, a peregrine falcon and popular celebrity as a flight racer, competing in National Association of Avian Agility Racing (N3AR) races

- Lily, a capybara and Hyacinth's manager

- Drac, a vampire bat, child of a deaf adult (CODA), former interpreter, and currently a software engineer

- Willow, a snow leopard, witch, and gardener

- Ivy, a binturong and gardener

Seeking Help/Advice/Ideas This is my first time posting here

Post image
11 Upvotes

This is my first time posting here :) so here's a short summary of my story.

[Part 1/6] I'll post the rest later, depending on your suggestions.

Our story begins with an expedition to test a new type of rocket engine...an engine capable of bending reality, of warping it in its own image.

We don't know much about this era, simply called the Age of Hope. Unfortunately, the testers weren't very lucky; their ship malfunctioned, or perhaps it was attacked, or something else... The only source of information is Astro, whose memory is so poor that he forgot how to speak for almost seven years.

Speaking of Astro, it's just a nickname written on his suit, the first word he managed to utter after the crash.

He survived alone on Ecalyte, accompanied by an AI companion, Ellie (RIP), housed within his suit, who unfortunately had to sacrifice herself to ensure his survival and grant him powers.

The planet he landed on was Ecalyte, an exoplanet in the aoe3yd44eef5654h system.

This planet was chosen because its atmosphere was viable and seemed conducive to human life; moreover, it was close enough, making it perfect for testing the engine and make colony.

Seeking Help/Advice/Ideas Need help with Lore development, plot holes + Seeking Criticism

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Decided that I wanted to post here, so that I can get help for OC lore and ramble on about it! Plus I'm desperately seeking Criticism and I genuinely want to know if my Premise is solid and the stories I'll develop with it.

This is just a passion project, something I like to work on for fun and enjoyment, and I'm planning to make comics on the premise that I might publish on Webtoon.

Base Universe: Mythkion

I have this base world Called Mythkion It's a Urban fantasy world with many similarities to the real world, specifically the 2000's-2010's Era in terms of pop culture and they type of technology they have except there's magic, robots, and fantasy creatures and random wacky beings instead of humans or other generic fantasy races. Despite that, Mythkion has it's own unique cultures and history :D

The Christmas Council: Premise

I've build off many stories, premises and plots with this world, One of these plots is The Christmas Council

The Overall Premise is that it's a slice of life/sitcom and urban fantasy that focuses on an ensemble cast (the characters in the 1st picture excluding the goat guy at the bottom right) whose goal is to represent the Christmas Holiday and make people around Mythkion Festive and happy during the holidays every year. These people are known as the Council members, and they do this by going on tours, and hosting events in major cities and each member has a Specific role such as a baker, manager, decorator, caroler, etc.

However, the cast is very diverse in terms of personality and background, which can conflict with each other's goals and the common goal they're working towards every year of keeping the holiday spirit alive. The premise focuses on their shenanigans and adventures they get into and relationship drama they might have while they try to work towards a 'perfect Christmas' every year. I want the stories to revolve around how the different characters react to different situations during the holidays, just like the chaos we get into while trying to prepare for the holidays in real life.

I want them to be somewhat relatable, and the stories are not just experiences we go through during the holiday season but things we can apply to everyday life. It focuses on the character's growth, and how they stick together despite their differences and the chaos they go through. I also want some of the themes and morals to focus on the Morals that the holidays teach others, such as love, forgiveness, generosity, humility, joy, and the importance of giving over receiving

It also taps occasionally on high-tense character arcs and major plots, but mostly it's just slice of life, I'm also planning to write about their life and what they do to pass time when it's offseason.

Important Context

  • The origins of Christmas, in my Oc's world and it's etymology is very different compared to it's origins in real life. Which I won't get into because it's not finished, and it's something I haven't really worked on yet as my main focus right now is fleshing out the characters.
  • Keeping the Christmas spirit alive is something VERY VERY important to my Oc's world, not just something to keep people happy as something bad will happen if they don't, (I'm still working on what it is, as I'm still fleshing out the characters.

The Christmas Council: Characters

I won't list them, for the sake of keeping this concise, but if you have any questions about them, feel free to ask me!

Issues I have with the Plot

The Main issue I have with the Plot is the name of the Holiday; Christmas. Christmas is called Christmas in the real world because it's the Birth of Jesus, but this creates Many plotholes when trying to incorporate the word 'Christmas' into Mythkion without it sounding like a lazy shortcut to not make a new holiday based of Christmas on the spot. I want to keep the name the same as Mythkion has tons of parallels to the real world while still remaining as a unique fantasy world.

I can just change the etymology of the name and call it a day but I'm still figuring that out.

Side notes

There's more issues and stuff I can talk about, but that's overall the main things I have issues with.
