Expanded Charm Collection

Now including some non-charms for more design options!

Use for your own inspiration or to prompt people to send in asks of one to three charms to make character designs with! Now on a grid to make calling them out easier if you're like me and forget which name goes with which charm.

Under the readmore you can find a transparent image of the charms, a larger version of rootheart, and some suggestions if designing is a challenge for you. Enjoy!

Row five is where the additions come in: Shielded Fool Helm, Pale Ore, Lumafly Lantern, Crystal Heart, Isma's Tear, The Godtuner, Mosskin Charm*, Carefree Melody, Kingsoul, Rootheart**

[* Mosskin Charm is cut content, but it's my charm collection, and I want to include it ** Rootheart is my own addition based off the White Lady's pod in the Gardens because I think she should have her own charm]

---

Things to think about (not mandatory to follow these suggestions):

- Where is the charm found? What colors, motifs, shapes, etc. are found there?

- What species and/or groups are associated with the charm? How do they dress or adorn themselves?

- What effect does the charm have (alone or paired with something else)? How would this manifest visually?

- What does the charm look like? Are there colors, patterns, or shapes that can be incorporated into the character design?

---

The lines of Rootheart design are traced from the White Lady's pod. For reference, here is a larger image of that charm:

Here is a transparent png of the charms.

The traveler

After learning that he accidentally got seen as a cryptic by bugs in/near greenpath he began doing it on purpose.

He either sits more hidden and either follows the other bugs and stare at them in silence while making it able so they can see him. Or he pops up just before a bug arrives at a place and sits in “disguise” to tell horror story’s about the “cryptic” lurking around these parts while being ass off putting as possible without making it clear it’s him. He also does this act in other places in the kingdom but doesn’t make it about “himself”

For the right price he may trade you his sketches but what that price is is yet to be uncovered. If you do manage to trade with him he will give you some info about wherever you’re going at that moment. Buying his art is the quickest way to become friends with him and he may pop up more around you in the disguise if you being a “good customer” (aka he checks if you didn’t die or something, he does not know social cues but that’s what you get if you almost never have interacted with people in your life)

Cyclone stuff, begin/mid begin of being stuck in the abyss

It’s silent, it usually is here though. You don’t necessarily like it but by now you’re used to it, you have to as you really don’t have another choice. It’s making peace with it or feeling your mind slowly slip away from you. For you the choice is simple between those two as the knowledge how the second feels still lingers in your mind. It’s silent and you’re used to it, it’s silent and you’ve made peace with it. Yet the lingering feeling of hope is there, you try to push it down as you know you’re stuck here. You will not get out, and you’ve made peace with that. Yet the feeling lingers and it scares you. This hope can destroy you, it can destroy your mind and you have to go through “it” again. It’s silent and you hope, it’s silent, too silent. You start to distract yourself with small things, for what you don’t know but it’s something-

It’s silent, it has been for a long time. And You’re tired, you’ve done everything you could, it’s time to rest.

A noise startles you awake-

A noise?

Here have some random writing I made in like 10 minutes

POV: random bug being haunted by lost

It’s very silent you notice, the only thing you can hear right now is your own footsteps… it’s too silent really for a place like this. Anxiety starts to seep into you and you walk faster to get out of this place.said action proves to be failing as the feeling of anxiety only starts to worsen and the silence starts to get deafening. You start to run to get out of here as fast as you can only to hear footsteps starting behind you. You run faster and to your relief the footsteps don’t seem to get faster, that relief is for a short while tough as you don’t hear them softening. As if the bug? Beast? You’re not sure what it is doesn’t have to run to match your pace. Your thoughts distracted you and you stumble over a stone and almost fall. You hear the creature stop walking and its eerily silent again. Finding your balance again you start to run again towards the open field starting at the end of this path hoping it’ll bring you safety. As soon you start running you notice the creature has began walking again, you stop out of shock and the steps also stop the moment you do. It’s playing with me isn’t it? The thought is so abrupt it feels like someone threw ice water over you. But you don’t have time to think about it long and you start to run again, towards that open field. Just to hope that whatever’s following you wil stop. You finally arrive at it after what felt like hours but probably only was a few minutes. You wait with your breath hold if you still can hear the creature but you don’t. You know you probably shouldn’t look around but you still do only to be met with nothing. Not even footsteps. No prove that anything followed you at all. You’re not even sure anymore if you were really hunted or if it was just a figment of your imagination running wild of being in the draak for too long. You continue your journey but cannot shake of the feeling of being watched.

Bragi: "Hey Vermillion! Im curious what type of magic you use, if you know any of course!"

Second oc and ask is from koda on discord, they asked via discord as they don’t have tumblr themself!

“Vermillon has seen many kinda of magic in her travels while she thinks all kinds interesting she mostly finds the harmless sort more interesting, like casting small lights, levitating small objects etc”

[nocturn-us]

Btw if you send an ask with a oc I’ll draw the oc interacting!

[nocturn-us]

Second character on the first panel is called bragi and belongs to Koda on discord!
