#Ember lore drop
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Text
So while I'm unlikely to have enough time to get another whole comic out before the new year, I recently got hit by the urge to just draw some random facts about Ember that I'm not sure will ever end up showing up in a comic.
I tend to forget that all of her comic appearances so far have given a pretty shallow idea of what she's really like, so I figured this might be a fun way to flesh her out a bit more.
No idea how many of these I'll end up doing. I have a bunch in mind but I doubt I'll actually get through all of them.
If anyone has anything specific they'd like to know about her, let me know! I can't promise I'll be able to do a piece of art to answer it, but who knows.
I am also planning on answering a bunch of asks some time soon, I just keep getting derailed by other things.
#what do I keep getting derailed by? oh you know.#realizing I could totally make a visual novel if I wanted to#becoming deluded by a sense of limitless power#the window guys finally coming back to finish replacing the last couple#the usual~#bg3#baldur's gate 3#ember lore drop#ember facts#tav: ember#oc: ember#female tav#sharky's tav#my tav#sharky art

Ember lore drop!
Ember's mutation isn't just magical, it also affects her left eye. The sclera turned pitch black, and her iris changed into more of a diamond shape. That's why she often hides her left eye, via glamour or physical means.

Introducing Oliver and Seraphim! Immortal besties.
They go by any pronoun. Because I keep changing them around subconsciously so now I'm sticking to it. Also I believe in immortals who just stopped caring about gender.
Okay so Oliver is ROUGHLY an axolotl. There's a lot of lore to explain that one. But he was almost executed at one point so his head just kinda... falls off sometimes. He can still move his body independently from his head, though!
LORE JUMPSCARE (old art tho)
I love embers. They are my favorite creatures. I made their design... roughly off of ranboo fanart I saw one time (or rather, their head only) but shhhh. The general rules and how they are and stuff is from my own head, though! :D
#embers#arteni#that's the name of my little fantasy world#I will drop so much lore it isn't funny#Oliver#seraphim#but not the angel kind

ALL OF DAPHNE'S TRANSFORMATIONS. INCLUDING UPDATED NYMPHIX.
Previously Fairy of the Dragon Flame now Fairy of Embers. She doesn't have any transformations others than these because she was fast tracked into the nymphix path, and unlike the winx the majority of fairies don't pursue additional transformations past enchantix. (i think Daphne would be interested in Dreamix tho, so maybe I'll draw that eventually.
Her major color shifted after dying and being revived, which is shown in her winx and enchantix.
other lore and design notes below!
I changed her major color from orange/yellow to more of a teal/green because. she just doesn't look good in yellow I'm sorry I really tried but it wasn't working. Also little updates to her hair color, nothing huge tho. Daphne's primary motifs are a branching "Y" shape and a double oval/tear drop. She's a pants when possible girlie and a one set winger(yes her nymphix looks like it have multiple wings but they all merge into one stem on each side) . Her scars from her Sirenix being ripped out of her caused her winx/enchantix to change a little to cover them(mostly seen in the arms) due to insecurity. Her Dryadix/nymphix flower is a daffodil! because pun Daph-Daff, and Daffodils symbolize rebirth and new beginnings (also creativity, energy, resilience, forgiveness and vitality). Her Harpix wings aren't super specificly patterned, but she has darting wings common in small song and seed birds (robins, finches, brown birds etc.) the coloring is referential of a Shrike (also called a Butcher Bird), because Daphne was. incredibly dangerous and if she had sided with the ancestral probably would have been given a moniker similar to Butcher of Domino or Daphne the Slaughterer. (some people do call her these but its mostly among people who dislike Domino/The Royal Family.)
Lore! Daphne doesn't have a great sense of self, she was planned as a necessary successor to Marion/the dragon flame in a period as the ancestral witches were escalating their attacks and search for the dragon flame. Bloom was a back up baby in case both Daphne and Marion got dead and basically worked as intended haha. Daphne was also much more publicly involved in the kingdom than many of the other royals in winx (Stella, Aisha, Krystal and even Galatea to an extent all had rather sheltered upbringings) in a way Daphne is much more like Sky and Thoren in the since that none of them really had the space to develop their own personality outside of their familial duty.
Daphne's 1st winx and enchantixes are as direct a copy of her mom's Enchantix as you can get with transformations, right down to the more greenish tint of her major color. Growing up Marion used her fairy form liberally, so that, combined with being the next Dragon Flame holder left a deep impact on Daphne's subconscious. Daphne was also heavily influenced by Faragonda during her Alfea and Nymphix Quest years, but since she was older this isn't as deep an influence. After being revived, Daphne's years of defining herself as her connection to Bloom causes her major color to shift more blue in response to her trauma. Daphne is slowly starting to develop a sense of self outside of her titles/connections but it's unlikely her major color will shift again unless she has another major trauma.
(for the record the Winx do have trauma over the timeline I have laid out that would potentially cause their major colors to shift but I didn't do that for a couple reasons 1, their colors are iconic and make them easily recognizable as characters; 2, I'm a tired bitch. )
#winx#winxems#winx club#winx daphne#enchantix#harmonix#sirenix#dryadix#harpix#coatlnix#nymphix#DONT look at these too closely the line art and some coloring is a mess i got sick of them half way through#Fairy of embers title subject to change but i like it for now#something about Daphne is so wrong I want to put her in a jar and study her <3

In two weeks time, Lighter’s banner will finally drop. Lighter’s backstory and lore will finally be known. Well, the ones that aren’t said in the Partner Archive.
(Sorry if the photo isn’t clear, but I highlighted in red and it clearly states that Lighter is an ex-mercenary)
So Lighter was a mercenary before he became the Champion of the Sons of Calydon. Somehow, somewhere, Big Daddy found a former mercenary (probably at the Ember Arena), got him to owe him a favor that ended up making said ex-mercenary join his adopted daughter’s gang, and now he’s one of the most powerful members of the Sons of Calydon as their Champion.
And I thought Nicole was taking all the secret military badass combatants for the Cunning Hares. I mean, she got Billy to join her team. And Lighter is Billy's successor.
Yup, Lighter likes to call Billy, the First Red Scarf of the Sons of Calydon, his predecessor. The archive clearly states that the Champion of the Sons of Calydon is always identified by their red scarf.
Does this also mean we get to see some of Billy's lore? Maybe, maybe not because this is Lighter's story. It's all for him. Sure, there's a chance of cameos from the Sons of Calydon and Billy, but from those leaked images, the story is just us and Lighter.
I can't wait to see how crazy, heartwarming, heartbreaking and action packed his story will be.

starstealer :: even stars can be swept off their feet. xavier is sure he is when he falls for you.
footnotes: small blurb, slight angst and my first standalone l&d fic! xavier experimentation fic because his character intrigues me to no end, lots of star comparisons
the universe contains approximately almost an innumerable number of stars, and out of an infinitely unquantifiable number of them, xavier wonders why you look at him like he's the brightest one.
stars fall, xavier admits, stars can fall, and xavier knows he's falling. (he's fallen.)
he knows it in the way you rest your head on his shoulder while you watch the flimsy dots of lights litter in the cosmos and his heart soars.
he knows it whenever he sees you hurt even for a fraction—how his feelings die and solidify and coalesce only at the thought of you. how fear climbs up his throat and marred memories of failure creep up his skin.
"you're not fine." he persists, handling you as though you were sand slipping through his fingers; jaw tight when he sees blood staining the white of your sleeve. the gash on your shoulder is shallow, though it spanned a quite alarming size. it makes him anxious. bile rises to his throat and he fights to keep his stomach from dropping. you laugh, brushing him off. "you don't need to take care of me, you know. isn't it tedious?" not to me, xavier keeps to himself. not when it's you. instead he says, "no. it's not. just let me help you, okay?" "fine....." you huff, resigned; and you thank him. 'always.'
knows it in how the stretch of two hundred and fourteen springs feels like a nightmare never dreamed before; with you as his reason to hold on.
knows it when he sees how the night's breeze makes your hair sway, the moon's glow a wink in the vastness that is the universe and the incomparable feeling that his universe, his wish, is right next to him.
he failed you time and time again.
now, xavier swears to never fail you again.
loving you feels like being showered the touch of a thousand flickering embers burning up to become a fire, and xavier doubts he can put it out.
he won't.
you like stars. xavier thinks that should you ask him to pluck one out for you, he'd hate it if only because he wishes to keep you in his arms for a little longer.
(he'd do it anyway.)
one look, one touch; leaving him to be stardust begging to be held in your hands. a star swept off its feet.
leaving him to find sleep a secondary choice in nature so as to burn your image into the scope of his memory. making him feel that happiness he only feels when he's with you.
loving you is painful, but loving you is worth it. he's fallen, and falls even more everyday.
"xavier?" did you know that every inch of his will has promptly devoted itself to you? would bend to your words without a thought and hear your every wish?
"hm?" he exerts, feeling the weight of your eyes on him.
you lean against him and the stars dim. the world falls to a hush. it's only you, it was always you—
xavier doesn't think to breathe; he listens to the sound of your heart thumping steadily in your chest, the rhythmic beat a reason to live again, to love you again. no words are needed more, not when your presence permeates across the void words cannot hope to fill.
"can i lean on you just a bit longer?"
(yes. always.)
"....as much as you want." his eyes soften, and his words are tender. "as long as you need."
he sees you smile, watches as your cheeks become full by the way your joy lights up your face, and xavier's world does too.
you're everything, xavier thinks. to the point he feels as though all the stars up in the sky shine if only to witness you.
a/n pls don't judge me for this half-baked fic and the possible in corrections of xavier lore; did i mention this was supposed to be a rafayel fic but ya girl decided to tap out

Just finished rereading Danny Phantom : "A glitch in time" and I'm absolutely vibrating in my seat about the new lore
Spoilers under the cut:
1. Vlad has continued his cloning experiments, even after Dani and her melted brothers :
This is also the only reason Dan Phantom is able to get a stable body at the end of the book.
Also, he designed almost functional clones with high science but really shitty technology skills. If he had help he probably would have succeeded ages ago (see point 5)
2. The staff that Clockwork always uses? Really f*ing important. It would be a tragedy if something happened to it
3. Ghosts are manifestations of human emotions
4. Tucker had a two day stint as the mayor of Amity Park and lost the job because he accidentally dropped a baby. He was also listed as married to Ember. Do with that as you will
5. When Tucker is in class he is so bored he keeps designing A - grade tech :
6. The Fentons RV, the Ghost Assault Vehicle, has 3 funny little buttons (big ghost, bigger ghost and unwanted guest)
It also has cup holders
7. Amity Park has its own version of Instagram called "Spectergram" and it has a livestreaming option

i feel like fan songs have been out of fashion for a while but i wonder if im just out of the loop? They came from such specific fandoms and i feel like they had their moment in 2013-2018, it's fascinating to think about.
I'm an og fnaf freak and there were a few in 2022 after secruity breach dropped when the glamrock + pizzaplex lore dropped but they've definitely slowed. i spose they follow the same trend as fanfic where the source material needs to drop substance for the baseline story for a song to be written about.
I do remember in 2022 on tiktok everyone freaking out about a stranger things fan writing a "billy apologist" song and singing and recording it themselves. Dude pop off. it was amateur, cringe as hell and i disagreed with the billy takes but dude i have a playlist dedicated to fnaf songs that i listen to frequently!! no one makes ukelele-ass fanfic songs like that!!! and everyone DRAGGED THEM TO FILTH. mainly for the billy takes but i digress.
I guess we do have the living tombstone and starbomb (new single for pre-save btw!!) who still definitely make fan songs of exisiting IP on a more professional scale.
im also not in many of the newer fandoms that have taken over the internet like hazbin hotel, helluva boss, hello neighbour and the amazing digital circus. i call those four out because my gut tells me they are of the same breed as the 2015 fnaf and undertale fandom that would be musically inclined. (hazbin hotel is partly a musical from my limited knowledge?) I also want to philosophise on why this gut feeling is because that is fascinating to me.
idk please add thoughts to this post if you see it, im really interested to see what people have to say cus songs are such unique pieces of fandom art that i feel like is dying out a little? but i only take up a very small amount of fandoms!! (this would be very easy to research but for the sake of poking the embers of fandom and audience participation I am choosing to be ignorant)

(Spoilers for Astarion's romance in Act 2)
I would have liked to do something for terrible comic day, but a stubborn migraine put the kibosh on that, so instead have something vaguely in the spirit of it. I tend to prefer to only post clean, finished work and this is decidedly not that.
This is an unfinished comic I started back in October that I unfortunately stalled out on while it was still in the roughs/planning stage. I was a little disappointed that during the post-Araj conversation you have with Astarion, you only got to choose one question to ask before the conversation moved on, and I wanted to try and combine a few of them into a single back and forth (I also originally just wanted to set up a joke and then it grew legs and ran off in a totally different direction😭)
No idea if I'll ever end up finishing this! I'd like to, it's just a question of whether I'll actually get around to it. Only time will tell.
If anyone's interested, I've also included an alternate, scrapped version of page 9 under the cut and some Ember Lore/rambling about what I was going for with this comic that probably doesn't come across properly thanks to where it cuts off
After finishing this page, it ended up just not feeling quite right. Not only did it put too much of the focus on Ember too early (I wanted to keep the spotlight on Astarion's feelings for a while longer) but her reaction came across too vulnerable, and was reading as her being upset to find out that Astarion hadn't been invested in the relationship when they slept together. I wanted the reader to be able to initially make that assumption because that's how Astarion is taking her reaction, but it leaned a little too heavy in that direction.
Ember was aware from the start that Astarion wasn't interested in a romantic relationship. She's been having one-night stands for over a decade, she knows what it looks like when someone's not looking for long-term. Her mistake was believing that he was trying to string her along without realizing she knew what he was up to. So she's not upset that he was using her, she's upset that there's a chance she hurt him by allowing it to continue despite knowing something was off.
Eventually I'll do some proper stuff about Ember's early days with the party, and her life in general before the events of the game!! Just gotta finish all the other stuff I have ongoing first 🙃

(quick ooc post)
Ember has a mutation that allows her to control and utilize shadows, however she's never had a teacher, so her control over the shadows is shitty at best. It's why she always has shadows around her, because she can't will them away.

OK but when you're free of all the other obligations and able to do it can we get the Ines skin writeup anyway because I liked the Eine Variation one and why do they keep giving Caprinae ops skin like this do they just hate goats at hypergryph or what
Okay so I got this ask a month and a half ago and am just now getting to responding to it. In that time, I got a job as a professional VFX artist so my opinion means double what it did before. So that's fun! Respect me and bow to me, peasants.
I wrote a massively long writeup here and then my page refreshed and I lost all of it twice. Let's speedrun this shit, alright? (She says, immediately writing a 5 page unhinged rant.)
This skin sucks because of the exact opposite reason Eine Variation does, it's just too fucking detailed for its own good.
...Also what the fuck is that in the background is that a goddamned alien spaceship has anyone else noticed this?? This is a bloodline of combat skin this is canon does ines just fight aliens at some point what the FUCK?
Anwyay VFX in the readmore.
Deploy animation. I hate you. I hate this. I hate it.
It's rare I get to see an entire skin's mistakes in microcosm like this! That's fun!
This is so detailed that it actually ceases to have any real shape or identity. This doesn't look like shadow, because skins can just. Change character lore to make something look cool yes I'm still mad. Is it stars? That would explain the weird yellow dots, and there are stars in the art. Fire? No, it's not actually fire, there'd be fire here. Burning fabric? It only looks like that if I squint and zoom in, but I can't... think of anything else.
The colors are so awful. The way that there is a hard line between the dark lavender and the scarlet which then fades into orange is. A choice. I would not have made. At all. In any way. Ever. At any point. Also the random dots of yellow are very funny because they are so clearly just random pixels of yellow. Some of them even aren't in the orange, so they're just like, highlights that have decided to break out of the highlighted areas. Did they.. want this to look like her burning dress? In which case, why are they.. blue? Her dress is black with orange embers, I don't GET IT.
Also small thing but it has a drop shadow, but like. She's literally in all black until she fully appears. And the swirling ribbons are dark-colored. There's no worry about them not standing out against a light background. Is that just supposed to look like she's surrounded by shadow if that's the case then why isn't the rest of this shadow AGH.
This looks weirdly... JPEG compressed??? Like, you can kiiinda see it in the big version, but if I shrink this down to phone resolution...
GOOD LORD SHE'S BEEN DEEP-FRIED.
S1 is good. I like it. It's simple, elegant. Good use of colors, and I think the impact looks great, good use of red and orange to create visual interest. Not gonna bother to screenshot it, it's not that interesting NEXT
S2!
Stop it. Stop it. Put a few colors away. I am counting 8 distinct colors in this one swing alone, and then two more for Ines herself. Stop it. That is too many colors. Add less colors.
I don't even see what the colors are there FOR. Are they selling the tip of the swing? That's not right, because the red highlights start at the tip, then swirl inwards until the red is in the inner part.
I do actually think this one is a lot better at actual resolution.
It's still too detailed, and that detail ends up being crunched and not really... serving any purpose in the grand scheme of the effect, but I do think it is... better. It makes it more clearly light on the outside, dark on the inside.
Also I hate the ends of this swing. I hate it. Why is one a perfect circle that's been stretched out and the other end a rectangle that's fading out. Why is that how you did this. This effect looks like two different swings that have been stapled together like goddamned Catdog.
BUT WHEN IT FADES IT HAS AN INKBRUSH LOOK SO WHAT IS THIS EFFECT.
Why not lean into the burning dress look? Have it be a black trail that like, burns away when it fades? That would be STUNNING, anything but. Whatever is happening here. Mrgrgr okay fine it can't get worse right
DEAR READER. I PRESENT. S3. THE CULMINATION OF EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM.
So this IS a stars theme after all. This IS stars? Just wanna make sure we're all on the same fucking page here.
Dear reader. I hate this. So fucking much. This may be, and I do truly mean this, the worst piece of VFX I have ever seen in any game. This doesn't read as a piece of VFX in an anime game, it reads like the background of a YA fantasy novel's cover.
The nebula doesn't move. It's static. It is clearly just a jpeg. It's not even doing the Chowder screen-space orientation thing. It's just. There. Inescapable.
The comet itself just. Ends. It doesn't fade out or taper. It just. Stops. There's barely any anti-aliasing here. It's just a hard line between the comet and the background.
Ines herself is surrounded by identical dark lavender and orange energy, so there's no visible difference between the effect and herself. Sure. It's not going to be onscreen long anyway. Who cares.
The center of the comet is bright white as if it's the highlight of the effect, but it's... it's off-center?? so it's ultimately... Highlighting something. is it highlighting the sword? Is it supposed to be a haze that shows you the sword? But it doesn't look like it because it took me 15 minutes while writing this to realize that the sword was there at all because it's the same orange color as all the other highlights and so it gets eaten. If your highlight color stops drawing my eye, then you've fucked up because that is literally what a highlight color is supposed to do. Where am I supposed to look at this thing, where is the focus, the shape?
It's even funnier that the blade leaves a little cartoony goofy team rocket blink when it leaves, before immediately turning into whatever public domain NASA star image they're using for the comet. A real glimpse into what it would look like if Spiderverse sucked ass. (I do like the blink itself tho, a small little blue haze to add color and contrast against light backgrounds, smart touch.)
Explosion sucks. Suddenly they decide the palette is something entirely different. Where did the yellow come from. Yellow isn't even on the art. I guess when your palette is that big, you can change them up how you want. I would actually like this effect if it was slightly less detailed and in a skin that had actually used this pallette. It reminds me a bit of Specter the Laurentina. But with this level of detail and these colors... This somehow looks more like a YA book cover. A Sword of Goats and Stars. Fuck me I hate it.
I almost like this buff uptime indicator, It's just that the red from the swords fades into the orange on her dress and makes the whole thing muddy. Also she has an actual roiling flame behind her LMAO GET DUNKED ON HOEDERER THAT'S RIGHT I WILL DUNK ON HIM EVERY TIME EVEN THIS PIECE OF TRASH HAS ONE UP ON THE HOE LMAOOOOO
(In fact I actually... think this might be a recurring texture? It looks familiar, but I can't pin down from where. This is a bad screenshot for showing it but I'm not bothering to get a new one. This is my mental breakdown and I get to choose the visual aids.)
Anyway, maybe I'm being mean. After all I'm criticizing an effect for being too detailed when I am actively zooming in and looking at the details. So let's shrink down to the resolution of my phone just to see how it would-
Ah.
Final Ouroboros VFX ranking: A jpeg compressed photo of a wizard airbrushed on a van / 18 Originium Prime. Actually wait no that sounds too cool. Uh. The wizard is also racefaking. Now it's no longer cool. Nailed it.
#arknights#arknights vfx breakdown#emphasis on breakdown again#I don't have as personal a vendetta against this one as I do Eine Variation#but I do think this one is genuinely bad#Shame. Ines would have crushed it with an actual skin

⋆·˚ ༘ * ' . Pantheon of Oros
𓇣 ‧ ₊˚ ⋅ * ‧₊
"I know who you are-" A cat of smoke and dust circles you, their paws never brush the ground yet ash lies in their wake, creating a circle of warm embers around the grass where you stand.
All you remember is fear. A fear so consuming and overpowering that it sent you weaving between trees and bramble despite the deep echoing ache in your muscles, the ache that begged for rest, for comfort. You remember the cold, a deep suffocating cold. You remember it in the fibers of the bones that make up the structure of your flesh, and you remember it speaking to you. “Succumb,” It spoke, “Succumb,” It urged, "Succumb." but you did not. You opted to run, bark splintering and cracking and sending sparks of microscopic knives into your skin, already raw with the cold and the air and the ache. And the ache. And the ache.
"Me?"
𖤓 ‧ ₊˚ ⋅ * ‧₊

Section II: You control the plot.
The pantheon is unique because you, as the role-player, Control the plot.
You and the cats you roleplay get Live lore drops, which means you, as a person, will not know something until the cats you roleplay as do, creating a more immersive and interesting roleplay experience. This also allows you to change the outcome of the lore, depending on your decisions.

✨New item!✨ Tsuba of the Lotus Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)
You can attach this tsuba to a longsword, greatsword, rapier, shortsword, or scimitar by pressing the tsuba against it for at least 1 minute, at which point it replaces the sword’s hand guard. Thereafter, the tsuba can't be removed unless you detach it as an action or the weapon is destroyed. A sword can only have one tsuba attached to it at a time.
While this tsuba attached to a sword you are wielding, you gain the following abilities:
You are immune to disease.
You can move across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.
Each time you hit a creature with this sword, you cannot be killed by that creature until the end of your next turn. For the duration, if damage inflicted by that creature reduces you to 0 hit points, you drop to 1 hit point instead.
Ciroji kneeled on a jumble of blankets, sharpening her blade next to the lake. The stars danced below in shallow ripples, shining their light into her sightless eyes.
The journey had been long and hard, and dozens of scars created constellations of endurance across her skin. Still, she waited patiently.
Something moved across the water. When it touched the shore before her, Ciroji reached out and retrieved the small object. Cupped in her palm, a steel lotus blossom unfurled.
Without hesitation, she attached the tsuba to her katana and felt its magic mingle with her spirit. Slowly, with each breath, an ember of light began to grow, expanding ever brighter. A tapestry of color emerged from this light, and took the shape of a moonlit lake surrounded by towering pines.
For the first time since she was a young child, the blinding sickness left her body. Ciroji gazed upon a world that had hidden its beauty from her for too long, and readied her blade for the path she could now see before her. - 🖌🎨 Like our work?

a fun little collection of Runa lore from RP/general thoughts:
Runa's ability to have multiple tendrils/limbs when they're damaged beyond repair and easier to just. remove. has had the number cap removed, from doubling, to 'whatever looks cool :)' i feel like this is most important for the back tendrils, where his arm is probably going to have a soft limit around 4 Runa's additional eyes are sense organs for sure, but they don't actually -see- like a normal eye, despite the visual function of them and their ability to emote, matching his own expressions the extra eyes sense heat/movement, and the sensation of them locking in on something is relayed to Runa to judge for himself if that thing he 'saw' move is worth investigating Runa's particularly strong senses are based around movement, heat and magic. he's great at pinpointing a magically inclined target, finding a magically charged object, etc or spotting a hot target through dense foliage, especially if it moves suddenly! his eyesight is actually pretty average, and his taste and smell are incredibly dull [unless what he can smell/taste is augmented by some kind of magic] if you were to peel back runa's charcoal-y armour, you'd find the remnants of his actual arm still under it, but there isn't an awful lot of it left [it's gone from just before the elbow down] as such, he has very little sensation in his left arm! from the elbow down in particular, he cannot feel if something is touching/pushing on his arm, it also means it's of no consequence to do his hyrda nonsense with breaking his arm off manually at the elbow joint and growing more limbs [while he can break it off higher up, this isn't advised, the higher he goes, the more sensation he loses. do not ask him to hold things in his right hand, he will drop or crush it, because he can't control how hard he's gripping something his hair leaves were longer when he was a sapling and his skin resembled more of the aspen tree he's based on, greyish with black eye-like markings, over time with the burning and loss of his limb, his body has been stained by the charcoal that flakes off of him [in theory, if you were to give him a very thorough scrubbing, you could get him back to a more mid/pale grey shade, but it's not worth the effort the armour has the texture of charcoal, flaky and brittle but quite dense, under extreme stress, the armour splits and vents out black smoke from little crackly embers that run through the middle of his arm, the smoke is extremely toxic/hallucinogenic and should not be inhaled [he can vent it at will as well, but this is a rarity and happens from his shoulder spikes; the smoke when done at will takes a yellowish hue, and he's basically isolating and superheating his own blood into a fine vapour and expelling it, it's corrosive if you're caught in the moment it's released and almost sulphuric in scent getting onto that 'superheating' aspect; runa's pretty adverse to fire, understandably after he almost lost his life to it; however in his current state, he's quite resiliant to fire, in fact, his charcoal arm is fully resistant to fire, it simply does nothing to him at all [however the visual can make him panic and recoil] Runa's body runs quite hot, around 53C at his core! he's a walking radiator, but the heat is less intense if touching his skin/extremities, still hotter than an average person to a noticable degree his body glow is normal on the right side of his body, but his left side resembles crackly embers across freshly burnt wood if he DOES burn out his armour too much, it takes a greyish/white tint, and he'll flake away at it like a person would do with a sunburn, it's gives him a sensation similar to a phantom itch, he shouldn't be able to feel it but he can see it flaking so it makes him feel itchy
