Kalilith - Tumblr Posts

Seeker's character sheet! (Until I learn how to draw 4 arm anatomy 🥲)

I learned a lot though, and I'm particularly proud of that earring✨️

They're called Seeker, as their full name is far too long for the tastes of those living in Halkyon, none of which have ever seen Seeker's strange four-armed species before. The Kalilith have ever watched Halkyon from their mysterious isle among the clouds, but now they have sent a diplomat to make contact. Seeker sets out to make peaceful relations with the surface-dwellers only to become trapped in the twisted machinations of the demons who rule them..

(One of 7 Circles main characters, feel free to comment or ask questions! I own none of the pics, I simply arranged and edited them.)

More from 🌐7 Circles🌐 Ch2: A Fallen Star

"What do I call you?" Probes the voice, and this time their own voice cooperates just long enough to rasp out their name.

"The-Stars-In-Their-Eyes-Seek-The-Spirit-Of-The-Cosmos.."

"...Well that's a downright mouthful." he mumbles, and their stiff neck eases their head towards his sound.

The voice is revealed to be coming from a head on the floor and Seeker's stomach flips with shock. They then realise with wonder.. he's in a pool of sorts, with only his copper-haired head and slight shoulders above the dark surface of the water. The scent of the ocean.. Did that pool connect to the sea?

The ginger is frowning, "Eyes that seek.. Will calling you 'Seeker' do?"

What a short utterance to refer to someone!

But they were far more interested connecting with man in the water to fuss over it, and perhaps it would make the troubled man more comfortable to have things his way. They decided to simply accept the nickname.

“Um, yes. Yes ‘Seeker’ will do fine.” They say with a smile, bemused at what must be a surface custom. Now that they’d said it aloud, it was actually somewhat adorable in it’s shortness.

🌐7 Circles: Entry

Preamble/chapter 0/intro page

(Tf do you call something like this? Help?)

🎉and its my 1st writing post!🎉

7 paragraphs, soft tw for heights. (Respectful) concrit welcome: Could you imagine the characters? Did this pique your interest? What do you think about the length?

💠 💠 💠

High above the earth and sailing down from the heavens is a ship, winding its way to the ground like a feather on the breeze. It looks much like the kind that would sail on water, albeit a rather small one, and the warm colours of its curved wooden keel gently contrast the azure and gold sails curved to fullness by the wind.

At its helm, upon a deck lit brightly by the sun overhead, four hands grasp the ship's wheel. Skin blue and bangles gold, the tall figure turns the ship, using the strength of all their limbs to move the sail against the wind current.

Their thigh-length mauve braid of hair whips about them and their eyes, entirely green from pupil to sclera, narrow against the wind. It didn't much matter where they landed, so long as it was within the un-poisoned area of the surface world, but The Kalilith people didn't have a winter on their isle in the sky and the explorer didn't much fancy finding out how well they would fare against the vast arctic region on the north end of the continent below.

The gilded sailboat creaks as it changes course and a second Kalilith comes up from the cabin below to join the first. He's taller and his four bare arms more muscular. His red eyes look to the person at the helm, his expression cross as he marches across the deck.

"By my south hand, child–The current is too strong for that!" he says, raising his voice against the gale as he speaks to his more delicate charge. "We should let the wind carry our descent, not turn against it!"

Magic vessel it may be, but the ability to ride the wind and the ability to withstand it were two different things. The male Kalilith barely reaches the wheel before a loud snap is heard and he turns to see rigging being ripped out of place.

"But our trajectory had us flying into a tundra! If we land only to die before making contact, the mission is forfeit!" The first one retorts, aristocratic accent sharp as they raise their voice. They may be the younger of the two, and they're certainly no warrior, but it was their mission nonetheless.

"Take care of the rigging.” they order, “If I can get us past the ice we'll be much better off," they catch the red gaze of their attendant who hisses in contempt before rushing to comply.

Far, far below, a citizen of chilly north Danaport squints up at the sky, gasping in disbelief as they see something fall to the earth.

I want to know what 1-3 songs you feel best embody a character from your WIP, either in general or in this moment in the plot.

Doing 'The Incubois' from 🌐7 Circles🌐!

Klaus🌻:

11:11, Ben Barnes (is also his voice/face claim)

All These Things That I've Done, The Killers

Death of A Bachelor, Panic at The Disco

Kazimier💋:

I Can't Decide, Scissor Sisters

All Scotch No Soda, Sarah &the Safe Word

Heaven Without You, Kid Brunswick (past)

I have 3 playlists for Kaz but 0 songs for Val or Seeker lol, maybe I'll do those two another time.

Tagging @katenewmanwrites @smellyrottentrees @officialauthorofanotherworld I'm kinda late to this one so I think @the-golden-comet @cowboybrunch and @fortunatetragedy have already done this, but I'm excited about music questions and wanted to share! 😁

Why did I give them four arms? Why would I do that? Two are enough, in fact some people get through life with no arms at all! FOUR?!? I HAVE TO DRAW FOOOUURRR???

I love Seeker to bits except whenever I have to draw them. Just, ugh..

Had to round out the bunch with a little Seeker 💫

I think Seeker was extremely treasured growing up.. but they should have been loved a bit more. Their destiny awaited them, and no one ever let them forget that.

Aaand now that I've done all four characters for 🌐7 Circles🌐 as kids (bby Klaus, bby Val, bby Kaz) I am NOT drawing another child for a GOOD while 🎉 lol ᵉˢᵖᵉᶜᶦᵃˡˡʸ ᵒⁿᵉ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᶠᵒᵘʳ ᵃʳᵐˢ BUT! I'm now curious about what yalls ocs were like as little'ns!! Share one (or more) of the following about your ocs early days;

Something expected of them. Something they came to believe about themself bc of other people (ex. told you're annoying, or you're so smart). A childhood habit they've continued as an adult. How they were treated by adults. Childhood nicknames. Sketches or reference pics welcome but not necessary!

🎨Fanart Friday!!🖌

Finally it's not Kaz..

Here's an adorable drawing of Seeker🌠 that one of my partners drew. Seeker was originally a DnD character before I tossed them into 🌐7 Circles🌐,

So cute!! And the hair color is really really good! Four arms are also SO difficult to do poses with but it looks practically effortless here.

I'm gonna point out one (1) inaccuracy bc my partner is ok with it and it's an important feature of Seeker's- the nose above is adorable, but Seeker's nose is actually magnificent:

Thank you so much for the art of my they-dy, dear, they look lovely.

i saw your beach episode oc tag and noticed we both have characters called seeker! i'd love to know more about them if you have the time :)

Ohh another Seeker!? ✨️

I'd love to give a little overview (and feel free to coment some about your own oc!~)

Here are a few 🌟visuals🌟 and posts that introduce Seeker🌠, they're one of the main characters of my WIP 🌐7 Circles🌐

Last Line Tag:

By the time Seeker reconvenes with Duke Vayne, over an hour has passed and they're feeling leagues better. Their skin was washed and moisturized, their hair meticulously cleaned, dried, and re-braided. They even allowed themself a small emotional breakdown in the shower before returning to their role of poised diplomat.

Height Tag:

6'5", The willowy kalilith looks down at you, and you feel small- but not in the way the demons make you feel small. Those depthless green eyes turn to you and in that moment you see yourself as they do, something to be picked up, held, protected, valued. In that way, their tallness takes your breath away..

Thanks for the ask! I love seeing questions in my inbox (even if it takes me a bit to answer.)

Clip-Art Comic Challenge ✨️

This is pretty old, but in honor of me re-writing the chapter this comic shows, I figure I'd post. 🎉

Depiction of a scene from 🌐7 Circles🌐 Ch.4 -made using only free clip-art on canva!

So that's how Seeker and Val 'meet' for the first time! This was weirdly difficult AND fun to make. Maybe one day I'll make another one~
