Speaking of which...a random Kimmet. He looks happy because he is unaware of how I might change literally everything at the drop of a hat

Thank you for this ask!!

My favorite elements of worldbuilding are definitely magic systems, creatures and culture creation. One of my favorite things to do is to take a funky oddball concept and try to built it into a world in a way that makes everything connect. Stuff like "blood made out of bees" or "there is a canyon full of teeth that controls the weather" etc etc, and then build a whole story and world around it 8)! I love trying to make completely out there concepts work in a way that (hopefully) makes someone go "hmm, yeah! That could make sense."

And uhh as for what I've done so faaar...I'm pretty excited about the whole "portals in some special people's blood" thing, and how all funky blood portals lead to the ocean. Or how the in the world of Voidwalker (tentative project name) different aspects of the main magic system correspond with the different parts of the now deceased gods. Stuff like their hair, blood, bones, eyes, etc. Their corpses are kind of corrupting the ocean at the moment in various stages of decay, and it's causing the world to flood. Gross! :D

I'm hoping to make little brief worldbuilding cards like this one in the future to explain a little more, I just have a really hard time because I'm always refining/rearranging things.

icantmakemymindupaboutcharacterdesign.png featuring a collection of slightly altered, same-faced Jharodes from various points in time. Also, gold?? For worldbuilding reasons. Idk how i feel about it on him yet

Will I ever be satisfied with any character design of mine ever? More at ten

Does it count as a resurrected character if it’s a older version of one that already exists? 🤔 This is a very conceptual Kimmet. He is unhinged, a violent menace, and it’s a miracle Jharode hasn’t snapped his neck yet. - This guy’s existence is incredibly self indulgent but you know, IDC
