WHO Is Tsuname And WHAT Is His QUEST?

WHO is Tsuname and WHAT is his QUEST?

WOW that was quick! Okay Tsuname…Well Tsuname is from my Aliens series. He’s the younger brother of Tsunne (guy on right), another character from the series. He lives peacefully on an island on the planet of Gaede with his family and friends and has a massive one-sided crush on his childhood friend, Sh’zkai, who is also his arranged fiance, or tan-tawe as they are referred to in his culture. It is believed there that the first friend a child meets of the opposite gender is fated to be married to them, so female friends of that culture will sometimes create what is called the mitawe-yun, or female friend pact, so that if they get married and produce children of the opposite genders, those children will be tan-tawe, and as such introduced to each other as soon as they are ready to be up and about as toddlers or walking infants. They are usually left in a pen of some kind to play with each other while the parents watch. If the children get along it is said to be good luck, and perhaps a sign they will learn to like each other when they are older.

Islandic superstitions aside, though, his tan-tawe Sh’zkai grows up to loathe him. They were good friends as children, but when Tsuname grew up to be a teenager and fell in love with her, believing the tales his parents and surrounding culture had always told him, Sh’zkai came to find him absolutely loathsome.The worst part about it? Tsuname is convinced that her loathing of him is either some sort of ‘phase’ she is passing through or smothered affection. Even when she is very openly blunt about not liking him, sometimes to the point of violence, Tsuname still does not believe her. Even times when he is discouraged by his behavior, his parents and culture continue to teach him that Sh’zkai is only going through a phase, and perhaps needs space before she can come to realize her feelings for him.Tsuname then goes to his father’s grandparents’ island by his parents’ instructions to do just that. For the next three years, that’s how Tsuname spends his summers. He goes for a few weeks to a few months each year to build up muscle and also give Sh’zkai space. However, despite his parents’ advice that leaving her alone and packing on more muscle will make her more attracted at him, Sh’zkai doesn’t even give him the time of day. If anything, she is more disgusted at him when he returns (probably because she knows his motives behind these trips).Tsuname is 18 (15 three years ago) when a rumor begins to spread around about something strange appearing in the sky now and then. The islanders had been unaware of it because they’re so low to sea level they don’t see much aside from the stars, but the Stellyrs, or star Gaediens who live closer to the sky, have been noticing a strange flying contraption floating around the planet. His brother Tsunne who is next-to-chief of the island is often gone to talk with the other leaders of Gaede to discuss what should be done in the case of an invasion, which is what they believe is soon to take place.His island goes into preparing for the invasion. The men are taught what to do and at Tsunne’s insistence, even some of the women are allowed to fight, since it is known they probably need every available fighter they can spare.

And then the invasion comes. The men charge out to meet their attackers, but are quickly overwhelmed.Left and right his people are falling, some of them getting captured and taken away into metal saucers by the tall reptilian figures.Tsuname is among those captured.One of the reptilian creatures gouges out Tsuname’s right eye, a symbol that he is now his slave, and eats it (yeah I know he’s gross).Tsuname then spends the next three years enslaved, meeting many different kinds of people and almost escaping several times, meeting many different perils along the way on his quest to return to Gaede, and, (he thinks) the loving embrace of his tan-tawe, Sh’zkai.

And that’s Tsuname’s quest! could have skipped a lot of the details in the beginning and gotten right to the quest, but I thought a few things needed to be explained, even if they’re partially unnecessary and probably a wee bit spoiler XD; I don’t think I said anything that’s too spoilerish though, aside from describing the beginning his story to you XD;; I might’ve gone a bit overboard there on the details but oh well… Anyways uh. If you ever wanted to read his story (even if I partially spoiled most of the beginning for you XD; ) I could probably give you the link. The only issue is a lot of it might be revamped and not canon anymore. Probably why I thought it was safe to tell you the beginning, even though the beginning is probably the least likely to undergo any major overhauls XD; but yeah if you wanted I could probably still share it with you, though it isn’t finished and is on an indefinite hiatus because I feel like I started it too soon. It was a NaNoWriMo for 2014 and a lot of it is rushed and rife with inconsistencies, and eventually I lost steam with it because the plot wasn’t going the way I’d envisioned and a lot of things happened in the story that made me uncomfortable with it. But all the same if you want to know more I might just share it with you! As long as you keep in mind that half the story may not even be canon anymore aside from what I just told you earlier. All of that is /probably/ staying, it’s the parts of the story I didn’t tell you about that are still under construction, so XD anyways… I’m really longwinded. Thanks for the ask, though, I hope this (more than) answered your question about Tsuname! XD;; 

Lol can you draw Aidrien (?) terrible? And maybe Carolyn?

Aidren is not amused at having his name misspelled badly or having a poorly drawn effigy of himself up here… XDD

Because most people probably don’t know Aidren: http://orig10.deviantart.net/0d0a/f/2015/237/2/5/aidren_head_plus_sketches_by_kazeharuhime-d974foy.jpg (left)http://orig07.deviantart.net/c4a6/f/2016/073/a/3/aaa_in_yo_face_by_kazeharuhime-d9soten.jpg (right)

He’s a timid knight character from Torn Apart, a novel project between me and Creation Cryptozoologist, my friend offsite. He’s not usually this done-looking, but apparently he has little tolerance for being painted like this… XDD

….I’m sorry Ao but you asked for it. This is Carolyn… XD She… she was a joy to paint I have to say. Such a cool outfit that I… completely mangled in MS paint… XDD I’m sorry this is so bad but it is a bad MS paint challenge so… Thanks for the asks anyway! XD;;

A discussion about squad pictures and memes led to the creation of this image. XD Me, Blackie and CC, both from offsite. (CC wearing shades too cool to stand on the ground so of course she’s standing sideways. XD and then there’s me... I don’t know what I’m doing but Blackie is superfrowning there. XDD)

Just a quick painting drabble I did while looking through the way too many palettes I have downloaded from colourpod.com XD Illumi the Light Myth for your viewing pleasure, blending into this color palette like it’s nobody’s business! I’ve been asked before why I only do Illumi in dark color palettes. Well. I really like the way dark blue looks on her?? Technically she absorbs the color of whatever is around her but because I love the feeling that a mysterious dark blue gives her, I tend to gravitate towards those kinds of colors for her. Add a red or maroon accent to her though and mm, something just shines. A little light blue and purplish dark violet and I’ve got myself an Illumi!

...Come to think of it, though, I really haven’t talked about Illumi much here have I? Well, here’s to start with. Illumi is from a co-project called Myth with my friend CC. Basically, a group of people got turned into half-mythical creature beings and have to find a cure. At least, that was the baseline for an RP that started the project years ago. Since then there’s been some changes, and a group of villains that are quite content with turning everyone into Myths so that they can better humanity! ..Something like that anyway. I’m half the project and I still get things wrong. XP Anyways. Uhh, nothing what I said probably just made sense right now. Just take the painting drabble and don’t ask anymore questions! (or ask them if you want to idk don’t let me tell you what to do)
