A Myth's Voyage:

Character Introduction I

[Click for Quality]

Here we begin the final pennings of the mv cast, starting off with the power trio (don't worry about them later down the line they're fiiiine)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

•~[Captain and honorary King Sausage Mythos leads the fleet of 600 throughout the War of the Isles. He's a carefree if not occasionally passive-aggressive man who uses a friendly demeanor to let the guard down of those around him but is not one to shy away from using more aggressive means to get his way. Over the 10 years of battle with his fleet, he's grown close with and cherishes those of his fleet and especially those of his own ship. After finally putting an end to the War, there's nothing that Sausage wants more than to get home to his long awaited family and the safe comfort of his own island.]

•~[Second in command of Mythos' ship, Kuervo Fang comes off as cold and stubborn to most of the crew, even if a good few can see right through him. He's got a skewed sense of justice and loyalty that even fewer can interpret & he proves himself to be one of the deadliest fighters the crew has to offer. Over the 10 years, Kuervo has reluctantly become close with his crew & finds it unfortunate how they fall into a protective, soft spot for him. Not that he'd admit it. Supposedly, not even on his life.] 🐦‍⬛

•~[Will Renais serves as a determined and caring member of the fleet. Though perhaps too forgiving for his own good, Will takes pride in being a person many put their trust into. He sees beauty in life and warmth in safe understandings and does what they can to help keep the peace when able. They're perhaps Sausage's closest companion on the fleet & Kuervo's most trusted person. Will mediates between the two to keep them off of each others' throats & has become an expert at keeping their communications steady. Over the 10 years of being apart of the fleet, Will has threaded himself deeply throughout the crewmates & is highly regarded among them.]🗺

Also, fun news

I've set up an "ask the character" type blog for if any of you guys wanna ask directed questions to the cast of the Myths Voyage AU crew.

It sounded fun and as those things go, asks will be answered as though that character were answering.

General asks or anything at all can still be sent here, I just thought it'd be fun for a separate character blog

Go wild: @ask-a-myths-voyage

I feel it important to note, by the way, that I loathe this years Inktober so I'll be doing less detailed work (simple one page drawings) & I believe there's 10 days I'll just. Not be doing.

I do still look forward to posting them and somewhat keeping my streak, but I've very little motivation for it this year.

All in good fun at least

• Iris, the newly fallen Ruler and often seen dictator of the Following. Power hunger and righteousness became her untimely downfall, along with anyone on her side and her very own child.

• Ivy, prisoner of the Following. Saving her from imprisonment became an ultimate goal. Her own sister locked her away in claims of containing a so called corruption that fueled Ivy's veins.

• The "Lotus Eaters": groups of lost and convinced cultists found themselves in bliss and over-indulgence as they found the island of mindless fruits.

• Additional monsters of the Codfather's island: while the other entities of the island were prone to belittle and tease the disfigured cod, they were still intent to protect him. They don't tend to be too fond of false alarms, however.

• The man-eaters: this story's Laestrygonians, Queen Lizzie created an entirely new species of seemingly mutated fish creatures, most in resemblance to Axolotls. They are hungry for any unfortunate soul who falls into their waters.

The Underworld

• Will & Eddie: two souls who miss their friends and loved ones dearly. Each were happy to see those they cherish on their journey through the Underworld. Though brief, they did what they could to give the remaining crew some sense of comfort and love they once were so overabunted in giving.

• Michela & Redd: two souls filled with bitterness and resentment. While they could find themselves forgiving their friends for foolish choices & careless disregards, wounds are too fresh for them to have a clear mind. Floods of their friends have come in, screaming their tragedies and fueling more hatred among plenty of them towards the unfortunate survivors.

Monsters

• A reflection shown to a captain long in need of a wake up call

• Scylla: a monsterous amalgamation of history's corruptions. She takes on her most recent host's appearence. From that of convincing fae, to fungal viruses that took over their hosts minds, Scylla hungers and she will feed.

Alt. Gods

• Aeor: a more casual, human esque appearence. He takes on this look for those He typically doesn't expect to live long enough to remember. He takes on this look to make sure any mortal will hear what He has to say.

• Exor: a more casual, friendly appearence. Years have passed and they wish to appear approachable as they can manage as they approach the son of someone they would once and wish to call their friend.

• Sausage, the island of paradise. He just wants to go home. He just wants to feel home.

Pt.1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt. 4 || Pt. 5 [Here]

Okay I cannot physically think of anymore characters or important appearances I need to add. I am crossing my fingers that this will finally be the end of the sketches.

The looks are rushed cos I did all these sketches today in hopes of getting a post out before the end of the month so here we are.

This project is bringing me so much joy I won't lie.

The wisdom Saga is also making me Feel Things /pos

How many more times can I add "just one more character list post" before you guys get sick of it? /silly

*kicks feet* *twirls hair* oooh you wanna send in AU Asks so baaaad

Welcoming in a few of our more prominent members of the Isles.

• Joel Beans, the still so-called temporary head of the Isles for the past 20 years. He's grown cold and distant to most outside of his love for his son. A well hidden paranoia has set in, those around him and trying to dethrone him effective in having him have his guard on high at all times.

• Hermes Mythos-Beans, the loosely-titled prince of the Isles, he's become something of a symbol for the creation of the new-era of the Isles. He's seen more with his artwork or instruments rather than with any sort of political or fighting scenes. He tries hard to uphold padre's name and even harder to keep his father safe as much as he can.

• Eddie Mythos, a loved and respected man of the Isles. He was once a cherished father figure to many of the Kestrals & still so for some pirates outside of the Faction. Since his passing, he still remains a quite positive memory among any pirates who knew him in life.

• Scott Denholm, the last survivor of the grand-standing family name. He's more away from home than not nowadays, tending to be one to keep others at arms length. Since his abrupt return and prolonged stay on the Isles, he's made a face for himself of being a major supporter of the left-behind Mythos family.

• Owen Orange, a charismatic and eerily persuasive character on the Isles. She's not shy to voice her thoughts, clear on how he views Joel as some undeserving intruder on their Isles. Many find it hard to say no to him and she's become rather savvy at rallying people to her side, however he may have that play out.

• Martyn Woods, a snappy and stubborn member. Many have noticed an odd shift in his personality since the first Fall of the Isles. Most attribute it a reaction to such an event or to the rumored rejection & built rivalry of sorts between him & a certain ex-Heron captain.

Important faces seen during the journey through the sirens.

• Siren Joel: an imposter's face plastered on a monster. An uncanny resemblance to the partner of our story's Captain.

• The true face of the lead siren, it's disguise falling off after finding the danger they're in.

• Another captured siren, baring a striking resemblance to their captor's long-passed partner.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Pt. 1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt.4 [Here] || Pt. 5

As it now stands, I am done with the character sketch line up. Up next is the pennings which are going great and then I can start exploding with my nonsense <3.

I did rush the out-of-disguise designs of the sirens but I will clean them up in the pennings.

As always, questions and comments are always appreciated and my askbox is wide open for them.

*kicks feet* *twirls hair* oooh you wanna send in AU Asks so baaaad

• Three of the men of Sausage's crew: Kyle Eef, Red D. Doons, & Apo Kuna. Close knit & having each other's back in plenty of cases, these three will be seen frequently throughout the Stories of the Crew.

• Two of the ladies on Sausage's ship, Guqqie & Michela are two of the closest friends you'll see on the crew.

• More of Sausages crew: Ros, Graecie, & Puffy. While Ros and Puffy also are found on Sausage'a main ship, Graecie acts as the head for one of his other ships during the voyage.

• The "Brilliant Prophet," Acho Denholm. In death, stars been gifted powers of premonition & cursed with the helplessness & growing hollowness that comes from being a prophet in the Underworld

• A mysterious shifter and God of sorts & a creature of a shattered spirit, they have taken to the name "Major." He's taken a starkly similar appearence to another in Sausage's life who could have had his heart once upon a time.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Pt. 1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 [Here] || Pt.4 || Pt. 5

Here is the 3rd batch of characters, there should only be one left after this I swear--

I'm very excited to post the pennings and then starting full images on this AU. Do enjoy your time and as always, asks are welcome.

Also I do love this batch a lot but I am so incredibly happy with how Michela, Ros, & Guqqie turned out, goodness.

Second thought

I *may* just add extra posts that compile the sketches in a shorter format

We'll see okay

Considering reformatting my Epic Au posts *sigh*

Considering reformatting my Epic Au posts *sigh*

Who makes the porn bots. Where do they come from. What do they hope to achieve.

I can't believe my silly au is being the reason I also draw Eddie the Rabbit for the first time smh smh

I can't believe my silly au is being the reason I draw Oli TheOrionSound for the first time smh smh

• Pearl, Titled Aeolus, the whimsical Ruler of the Winds: As friendly as she is to visitors, she does have a rather hard time resisting causing some trouble now and then.

• Fwhip, the unpredictable Messenger God of travel, luck, & speed: He's considered unpredictable at best and borderline maniacal at worst. He falls far past the line of a "trouble-maker" but can't help himself in becoming a close companion of Sausage's (at least, as "close" as the Gods can be considered).

• Gemini, the dangerous & protective Goddess & Sorceress: She's shrouded in warnings of her power & her silver-tongue. While stories will call her a "Witch" or "Temptress," she considers herself a guardian who who will do whatever it takes to protect the one's she loves.

•[Gods of "The God Games"]•

-> when they're properly & fully revealed in the musical, I'll be able to give proper descriptions/character to them all. These are more-or-less base concepts of them <-

• Oli, the God of the Sun, music, & archery

• Pixl, the God of the Forge, fire, & craft

• Lady Katherine, the righteous Goddess of Love, beauty, & war

• Shrub, the combative God of War & bravery

• Joey, the spiteful God of marriage & family

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Pt. 1 || Pt. 2 [Here] || Pt. 3 || Pt.4 || Pt. 5

Round 2 of the characters complied!

I look forward to fleshing out some of these characters more as they're revealed but, as of now, these are gonna be the concepts for The God.

While it doesn't fully effect how the characters are going to be portrayed, I'm more than open to getting information or stories on the Greek Gods equivalents of these characters.

I'm not fully versed in the stories & representations of the Gods aside from some Google searches now and then. I also love learning mythology and all that comes with it.

I do believe there will be One or two more character posts after this before i start working on penning & story-line art.

In the meantime, feel free to continue asking whatever your hearts desire.

Do enjoy your time here.

Good news and bad news

Good news is I'm gonna post pt. 2 of the Epic Au's characters tomorrow.

Bad news is I think I hate Sausages design again smh smh

My inability to draw symmetrical eyes will, in fact, be the death of me

Inktober Day 23: Celestial

This one got ahead of me but I adore it so much.

I can't wait until I'm free from the shackles of Inktober you've no idea the content I have for you

[I'll still procrastinate it lmao]

hi it's me the kuervo lore anon back back again with a WALL OF TEXT and also pirates spoilers but those are pretty obvious.

starting with his Tragic Backstory™ everything about him makes so much more sense when you realize he's just shadow the hedgehog spanish dub. ie raised as the specialest child soldier ever, idolized older sibling got killed by the government, now he's on an epic bloody revenge quest and there's these blue guys trying to teach him about the power of friendship but he doesn't care. said revenge quest is also where he lost his eye btw, and his eyepatch and rings are sort of fucked up trophies.

his self image is Messed Up bc of all that. he hypes himself up in his mind like he's some amazing folk hero (in-universe he literally calls chat his "adoring fans". which. ya got me.) and then you realize that's absolutely a front so he doesn't have to think about the murders. he's paranoid as fuck about the other pirates finding out his whole deal but such a horrible liar that he seriously considers yet another murder. but he's just a silly little guy he's done nothing wrong ever in his life why would you even think about him like that.

characterization wise kuervo's got a strong sense of justice which got him in this mess in the first place. he's quick to jump to insults or casual threats and even quicker to just laugh it off (ignore the sword it's just a joke bro!!). he's not super vain but definitely cares about his appearance. there's a very good chance all that eyeliner hides some impressive eyebags. he doesn't talk much but hangs around on the edge of conversations listening to gossip like he's at the movies with a metaphorical bucket of popcorn. he's an insanely good shot but refuses to touch guns (except in life or death situations) to the point of getting jumpy when other pirates pull guns for whatever reasons. he's the type of guy to keep a knife under his pillow (that isn't canon but it's close enough). despite being in the murder faction he doesn't take bounties (one of his only trips to the bounty guild ended with eret killing a guy and getting exiled bc of his bad advice). there's actually so few kites toward the end of the server that he just hangs out with the nightingales despite calling them a bunch of losers once.

one time he crashed bek's ship on a deserted island. he's the only pirate to get away with swearing in front of owen bc he does it in spanish. he's made peace with the fact his epic revenge quest's probably going to end with him dead, but he refuses to die on any other terms than his own. he's lonely as hell but he keeps everybody at arm's length bc he knows he'll have to leave someday soon. he got kidnapped once and immediately resorted to talking to a bunch of fish. he's even aroace

Obsessed actually.

I'm. Honestly pretty hyped that I got the right vibe around him and I'm even more hyped to be able to read about him.

If there's more solid-stuff about Kuervo's background, I'd love to hear. Unless it's like. Purposely a bit shrouded I just loved reading all this.

I'm probably gonna re-read this about 20 times honestly. Thank you for the Lore Dump, I'll be eating it all promptly

uhh hi i was just passing through the pirates smp tag and your au caught my eye? it looks sick however! i know you don't know much about kuervo's character but to me he's one of The Guys Ever. i would absolutely love to infodump to you if you're interested

I'd honestly love you to infodump about him to me.

Maybe I'd get a more accurate read on his character asides from my own interpretations and headcanons lol.

Go for it, id love to know more about he :>!!
