#Ether lore

[lumilasi]

I guess I'm done with mermay for this year huh.

Anyway, I recently watched some playthroughs of Hades 2 (and 1) and I really loved the character illustrations they had, so I wanted to try and sort of take inspiration from the style, and see what I can learn from it.

I decided to draw Helias for this experiment, as he needed a design upgrade anyway. I have few other characters on the drawing list too that I'd like to utilize for this.

(I'm imagining Helias is speaking to the kids of my story's main fam, Hitomi and Ichirou, in that bottom fake screenshot. Shaell is their 'Deity/King' as their family are Soul Eaters, although only Helias refers to him by his first name, he's mainly known as Amaros)

I left the BG for the last one simple as I currently had no proper ideas for it.

(ALSO. I can't believe it took me almost 10 years to realize that Helias' name came from a greek myth. I LEGIT forgot about Helios being a thing, I did not give my boy a similar name on purpose I swear)

It boasts tranquil rivers, peaceful glades, and mountains with peaks stretching into the clouds. At it’s core sits the Imperial Library, enclosed within the Starscape Sanctum. The Library was created by the Mother to keep records of all of its siblings and children and sibling’s children. Not that this Loci had children yet. It’s progenitor Starling pair had just recorded their first successful nest about 22 sols and 7 shifts ago. Celestial is very excited to welcome its first Starling pup.

There is an intruder in Celestial’s sanctuary. There are many intruders in sanctuary. There are- It is headed for the Library the Core the NEST. Where are its Starlings? Where are- where-

Ethereal Star AU

Daleth - he leads the travelers into the realm of sky and guides them to where they need to go next. The ferryman is the least respected out of the elders since he chooses to live his life among the people of his village.

Ayin - He strives to collect and harness the vast power of the soul flames. He’s obsessed with their wonders and wants to use their light magic for his own gain. He’s a very powerful light magic user because of his obsession and his knowledge on light magic only rivals that of Lamed.

Teth - she’s obsessed with dark stone and harnessing its full potential through inventions she has created. She is an artificer and she will have nothing stand in her way of her goals for a forever lasting machine…

Samekh - competitors and rivals, the king’s announcers. They spread his propaganda and promises of riches, advanced technologies, arts and a bright future under his rule. Their naive and inexperienced selves are blinded by the king’s empty promises…

Tsadi - he’s too loyal to his king to see what the kingdom has become. He’s the protector of the oracle, the keeper of the vault. Loyal to protect her and her centuries of knowledge.

Lamed - she’s an oracle and highly respected amongst the people of all the realms along with the elders and the king. She has the ability to foretell future events, whether they be good or bad. She keeps to herself in the vault and rarely leaves, only venturing out for what she deems as “special” events.

Prince Alef/King Resh - a child ruler foretold by lamed to have risen out of the four sacred elemental trials. He was orphaned at a young age but taken under the wing of Daleth. A highly gifted child with the weight of high expectations put onto him after he was pulled into the role of ruling over the entire kingdom not by his choice… behind all his ambitious goals, one has remained with him ever since childhood that has pushed him for selfish reasons…

Balin: [Retelling the events of Battle of Moria, a great sense of pride and admiration in his tone as he recounts Thorin's noble deeds in war]

The Company: [Looks at Thorin in a new light of awe as he poses regally with his hands clasped behind his back, steadfast and contemplative - a leader, through and through]

Thorin: [Sweating bullets and feeling like he can't move now because all the attention is suddenly on him and tbh all he wanted to do was check out the view but now it would look so stupid if he moved away like it would be so awkward if he turned around and everyone was just staring at him but at least he looks cool?? does bilbo think he looks cool??]

[savs-sims98]

Astarion definitely loves to hit it from the back🤭

He loves to see Sylvannah burry her face into the bed and cry out his name. Smacking his hips ferociously against hers. He places soft kisses on her emerald freckles. (imagine the bite marks all on the back of Tav’s neck✨)

Sylvannah turns around and whispers in his ear: ✨I’m feeling romantical✨

Astarion absolutely would start laughing and be like girl wat?😂🌹

Hello I made you some more art!! IDK Why your little guys have just stuck in my brain as of late but yeah I'm just on a roll I guess!

This piece was inspired by wondering who was present around Machete's assassination, and how people around him would react to his downfall. So I had the idea for a portrait of a final lover's embrace, as Vasco holds his dying beloved in bloodsoaked arms.

I tried my best with the clothing -- especially the shoes -- and I think I did a pretty good job but BOY were they hard! XD Anyways, I hope you like this one, it was a blast to draw! I love machete sm istg <3

Ok fine, we're going with Kieran lore (Yes I am gonna post ADSOH soon I SWEAR)

I redid his ref bc I felt it would be necessary. I can't help but feel like the original sheet made him look like a Sesame Street character. Come on, I know you were all thinking it. I like the way I styled it better and I feel like it conveys his personality better. Should I post a speedpaint of him sometime? (Well not rlly, it's taken from procreate but you get the picture).

TW for Murder, Emotional Abuse and SH.

Kieran used to live a normal life with his parents, and his older brother, Desmond. Although the boys had a six year age difference, they got along very well. It wasn't uncommon for Kieran to fall asleep on Des, and despite their differences, they'd find ways to have fun. He dealt with bullying, but at least he had a loving family that loved him unconditionally. So what ended this? Well, a robbery that escalated to a murder.

When Kieran was ten and his brother was 16, a disguised monster intended to rob Kieran's family with the intent of murdering everyone in the house, They approached Kieran's room first, and the monster tried to kill him in his sleep. However, he woke Kieran, being a light sleeper, woke up to the monster and screamed in terror, scurrying away from the killer. Luckily his family had woken up quickly, and Des, being the closest to Kieran's room, arrived just as his younger brother was cornered. Emmeline called the police, and Kieran's father ran to Kieran's room. He fought his hardest to keep his brother alive, even though he knew that was it for him. He was shanked to death that night, and so was his father. When the police arrived, both Des and his father were dead and gone.

His mother had always struggled with mental illness, but after the loss of her husband and older son, she was at her lowest point. Instead of being there for Kieran when he needed it most, she would berate him, calling him "her little murderer". He wasn't allowed to cry, because according to his mom, he needed to "take responsibility for killing his brother and father". It only got worse from there, as she would deny him any sort of affection and would sometimes yell at him for no reason. She just wanted to insult him sometimes. She also forbade him from having any friends, and laughed in his face when he was being bullied. Having no support system, he turned to cutting in order to cope with his stress. When his mother yelled at him for being an attention seeker, he began to hide it. He already was addicted.

When midnight struck his 18th birthday, he was thrown out of the house. Luckily he had a small place to live, but he needed to make money for college and stuff. He worked tirelessly, sacrificing his sleep and health for his dreams. At least he's got somewhere now.

In college, he had somewhat of a social life, but he couldn't keep friendships for long. He also had a really rough first year, but the rest was alright when it came to academics. He graduated and started his music career, but was deep in debt. He's getting rather successful, but isn't famous yet. He seems to be on that track, though. For better or worse.

That's all for now! That's the general backstory, and I left out the prism gate stuff bc that's a whole other thing. More detailed lore is coming, but they will be focused on a specific part of his life instead of a general story like the one I wrote here.

Let me know if you want more!

Having a Tarnished OC isn't about making a badass character for the lore, its about making a lesbian mother who adopts all your favorite blorbos

[lumilasi]

Today I managed to finish two of my W.i.ps, the new main outfit for Hayden, and this. I was trying to decide between "accurate colors" and "Having fun with it" and ended up going with the latter. (His actual color palette for this form is a bit warmer/less green)

While I was drawing this, I kind of realized that "ah yeah, Alexander clearly has some Logan/Wolverine in his DNA lol" which makes sense; Logan is likely one of my several inspo sources/reasons for preferring certain type of dad characters.

Since this is the only nonhuman form he has that doesn't include the dog skull mask, I decided that his skintone bleaches out to reference the whole bone thing.

hi definitely! i want to hear more about ur ocs if u wanna share! :)

i can offer you this

The elemental prophets

This is a continuation for the Ethereal Star AU

The trials are a test of physical abilities and a place for spiritual death and rebirth. They are a rite of passage to adulthood. Passing all four trials is unheard of, but those who do are prophesied to become great leaders. Spiritual enlightenment comes after each trial.

Anubis - He oversees all the sacred trials. All die spiritually in his trials but are born a new. Physical deaths are rare. He would like to keep it that way. Injuries happen often in the trials and he acts as a healer for those who do sustain harm. Though he is a stoic prophet, he shows a gentle kindness to those he’s treating wounds for.

Prophet of water - she oversees the water trial. She teaches those how to hold their breath and control their breathing before they enter her trial. Timing is key.

Prophet of earth - they oversee the earth trial. They teach those to preserver. Patients is key.

Prophet of air - they oversee the air trial. They teach those to let go of the illusion of control. Flexibility is key.

Prophet of fire - he oversees the fire trial. He teaches courage for those who enter his trial. Not many make it to his trial and even fewer make it to the end. Courage is key, pride is death.

Hey Lime you imagine if Dravo shows photos of Dan when he was a human (also his) to the girls and how they would react.

and den too XDDDD

I think it's better not to show his photo to Ivy (especially with the fashion that was in his time)

[mothinabottle]

Hey hey I don't know if I've asked you this already (if I have I'm so sorry I have the memory of a goldfish that embodies an orange cat ^^")

But

I'm planning on making my dol pcs in the Sims4 and I was wondering if it'd be alright if I did the same with yours? I wanna have my friends dol pcs live under a roof (and see what chaos will ensure and post about it xD) once I've set my computer back up and done all the updates...there are so MANY updates ;-;

I understand if that's not alright with you though ^^

Dearest, it is more than alright! In fact, I am really flattered that you'd like to recreate them in the Sims 💙

Pls do tag me whenever these little demons do stupid shit, because I know they will.

Did a small relationship chart with the final school uniform designs to guide u a little.

Resumed description of each PC below

Hana is quite easy. She/them is obsessed with having a perfect academic record and is the most prideful person you'll ever encounter. No one can be better than her at school or she will lose her mind.

Partygoer, academic genius, socially dumb, can barely boil water and usually stresses herself to the point of fainting and bleeding. Prefers to talk things out. Smokes a lot, drinks a lot

Neat room, everything organized except from the amount of papers scattered around. Likes to show off trophies and medals. Tons of band posters. Her electric guitar is her most prized posession. Voice has an incredible range and is very powerful, thus a great singer

Hana crossdresses a lot to go out and such. Only wears female clothing at school. Extremely tall (1.95 cm). Doesn't know what to do with her life

Masculine body, fit but max ass. It's difficult to describe her, but some drawings give a hint of her body type

Kari is tricky. Really violent. Anger issues. Fights a lot. Scars on her arms which she covers wirh her clothes. Manipulative, really easy to anger. Cannot draw for shit. Prefers having short hair but is scared of being seen as less feminine.

Overdoses on pills regularly. Sexual things are a sensitive topic, but isn't above using her body to get what she wants. Really small (1.47cm). Does her best to be seen as an angel, has a meltdown if sometimes makes her realize she is less than pure.

Room looks like an elegant room of a hotel. Extremely fancy with expensive stuff, but it looks so soulless it hurts.

Really curvy body. Max tits and ass. You get what I am saying

You can make her chubby, though. She would be happier if she was chubby like when she was a child. Only thin because fear of not being seen as conventionally attractive.

May is the trickiest. Since she is "dead", most things are left up to how you want her to be.

Important stuff would be:

-Very meek,

-Loves space and anything related to it. Best subject used to be Science

-Very kind. Selfless to the point of being an imbecile.

-Loves nature and is a huge dreamer.

- Hobby is knitting and watching movies.

-Unlike the first two, she always dreamed of having a family. Doesn't matter if big or small.

That would be all to kinda build sims for them. You can DM me if you have any doubts!

Thank you for this opportunity, teademoness, dear! 💙💙
