The Man. I Have Drawn Him Four Times In A Row At The Time Of Posting. Ive Now Got The Basics For Body

The Man. I have drawn him four times in a row at the time of posting. I’ve now got the basics for body shape down and whatnot.

I will fiddle with some of the closer details.

DOLORES DEI

More on her in the Abyssal DE timeline below... (potential spoiler warning!)

I did some reading up on Dolores Dei, long dead native of Elysium, yesterday at the point of writing this blog post. What I read, while undoubtedly altered a bit through time and 300 years worth of retelling the same story, fascinated me.

If the logs and retellings are to be believed, she exhibited hostal symptoms, which should be impossible since she never once channels at any point. She’s dead. The fact that she was murdered by one of her own therriers who claimed that she wasn’t human supports this, but take it with a grain of salt. Potential insanity and all that.

Currently within the Abyssal DE timeline she holds the title of “False Host” to me (less to the natives of Elysium) due to these reasons. Abyssal Harry (the true, ACTUAL host) finds Dolores Dei so frightening that he’ll enter a terrified territorial reaction, the fact that she’s been long gone from life does little to calm him down unless you manage to distract him. When he sees her, his Inner Intelligences let him know quite hard that she’s LIKE him, but in a way that isn’t right. She’s masquerading, while Harry’s the real deal. Like a worse version of uncanny valley.

I’m still in the early stages of this AU but that’s the general gist so far. False host shows up 300 years ago, fucks around with hostal powers she shouldn’t logically have, and then a real host shows up way later. In the form of a psychic corspe-looking drunkard.

The Terrible Black Dragon of Revachol...

...except he’s really just a brown dragon with melanism.

I recently finished playing Disco Elysium and it was great! I’m STILL riding the high of managing to fool the local thug boss of Martinaise into thinking I was the most CORRUPT of corrupt cops. Composure’s “Black Dragon” comparison stuck with me. So y’know...

Harry dragon. As a treat.

Syeia-o-Opri and the Race of Stolen Children

Hey. I have a g/t setting I sometimes work on. Here’s the basics of it.

Fairies arrive from the deep reaches of space, putting up a colony upon the face of the Earth. From the infant children of the Earth’s most clever native - borrowers, the fairies created humans, a macro-superweapon to be used in fairy war fields. Billions of borrower infants were stolen in one cycle and corrupted by fairy magic.

The borrowers are horrified at this. Humans are large, and even the weakest human is several times physically stronger than both fairy and borrower alike. The salt within a human’s body is deeply corrosive to fairies, and any spilled blood will desynchronize a fairy’s flow of will, which is a death sentence.

Humanity is only controlled via one thing - their names, which are fairy-given. As long as a fairy knows a human’s name, the human is under the fairy’s control. This creates an almost foolproof weapon for fairies to use against other fairies. Sending in a colossal being woven from Earth flesh, having salt in their bodily liquids, and iron within their blood, a human is perfect for exterminating enemy fairies.

Sadly, the fairies realized a bit too late that the “small bipedal idiot species” (by comparison) of borrowers left behind some “recessive material” within every human. Cooperation, a highly social structure, and love for each other eventually made the humans plot against their fairy lords. One night, two humans - a male and a female - decide to name each other and not tell the fairies about it.

It is the first dawn of the fairy apocalypse. With one human-to-human given name rises another, and spreads across the fairies’ human populations. The fairies do not understand why they no longer have any control over their superweapons, and only realize what has happened when it’s way too late. Any human still under fairy control is quickly overpowered by the out-of-control swarms, who have quickly figured out how to wield rudimentary weaponry.

Early humanity drove most of fairykind off the planet. In current times, humanity rules the Earth, fairies being powerless to regain their grip on their planet and borrowerkind carefully living beneath humanity’s shadow.

Contact with humanity has been attempted by fairies, but they learned that ANY smidge of aggression will cause the human being communicated with to revert to their original weapon state, killing whichever fairy had made the aggressive display. Contact remains ill advised.

Despite this, humanity is naturally neutral with borrowerkind. The borrowers stay away for their own safety.

Until one day, one member of the two races collide.
