I’ve recently been watching a playthrough of the Tellius games, so I figured I’d repost some kinda old art I made back when these guys were added to Heroes.

I used to mostly just be in love with their designs, but now I’ve come to know the characters better and it’s only really reaffirmed how much I like them ^v^

[monstatart]

the ikesoren joke au I made with @kunichiua where Soren follows the man of his dreams into a persona 3 rip off island aka Askr Island. Yes this is a college of 09 au thing going on. Here's some music I kinda based this art off of. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Also in one illustration it's head cannoned that Ranulf enters their house through the attic or the window like a cat and jumpscares both of them.

Ooh man I haven’t posted in a minute, sorry! I do have two new lil concept/ref pieces to share here though, so let’s get to it! Here’s the concept art for the Aimarusoranulf family! HCs/notes under the cut!

💙 King Consort Ike Greil - Older brother of Mist Greil. Husband of King Marth Lowell, King Consort Soren and King Consort Ranulf. Father of Ness (adoptive), Priam Greil (bio), Daphne (step), Princess Adora Greil (bio), Prince Tobias, Princess Griffen G. Lowell (bio) and Princex Tycho Lowell. King of Altea. Leader of the Greil Mercenaries. Smash Tournament Member. Cis Male (He/him), Demiromantic Gay, Polyamorous 💙 Like Reiner Braun, Ike has always been a gay man in my eyes. He's a boy kisser folks! I drew him kinda stoic here but his partners/kids make him smile very often, dw. The tallest and beefiest of the dads, could probably carry most if not all of his family on his back like it's nothing. Also this isn't super important but when I draw Ike imagine Jason Adkins' voice instead of Greg Chun's. 💙 King Marth Lowell - Younger brother of Queen Elice. Husband of King Consort Ike Greil, King Consort Soren and King Consort Ranulf. Father of Ness (adoptive), Priam Greil (step), Daphne (step), Princess Adora Greil, Prince Tobias, Princess Griffen G. Lowell (bio) and Princex Tycho Lowell (bio). King of Altea. Smash Tournament Member. Cis Male (He/him), Bi, Polyamorous 💙 Marth <3 My SSB main since like 2014. He is very special to me. Anyways! Has dated around quite a bit, starting with his childhood bestie Caeda (who later gets with Catria) and continuing with Roy and TP/HW!Link during Melee. Also besties with TP/HW!Link, Robin and Corrin, as well as TP!Zelda, Samus and Princess Peach. Probably fell for Ike first considering they interacted the most at first, but later fell in love with Soren and Ranulf as well since they're never too far from Ike (especially Soren). 💙 King Consort Soren - Husband of King Consort Ike Greil, King Marth Lowell and King Consort Ranulf. Father of Ness (adoptive), Priam Greil (bio), Daphne (step), Princess Adora Greil, Prince Tobias (bio), Princess Griffen G. Lowell and Princex Tycho Lowell (bio). King of Altea. Staff Officer/Strategist of the Greil Mercenaries. Intersex/Agender (He/him), Demiromantic Gay, Polyamorous Despite also being with Marth and Ranulf he's still the closest to Ike (which, obviously), although they've managed to make him smile as often as Ike does. 💙 Was probably a lil rude to Marth in the beginning but began to respect him and eventually like him. Was surprisingly weepy when Priam was born and will have to excuse himself every so often even now if he thinks about it for too long, that's his baby boy. Still very much a stoic but his family has softened him quite a bit. 💙 King Consort Ranulf - Past Partner of Lethe, Husband of King Consort Ike Greil, King Marth Lowell and King Consort Soren. Father of Ness (adoptive), Priam Greil (step), Daphne (bio), Princess Adora Greil (bio), Prince Tobias (bio), Princess Griffen G. Lowell and Princex Tycho Lowell. King of Altea. Commander of the Gallian Army. Genderfluid (He/she/they), Pan, Polyamorous 💙 Had a very short-lived relationship (if you can even call it that) with Lethe that resulted in their kid Daphne, suddenly became a single dad until he started dating Ike and Soren (who already had Priam by the time Daph came into the picture). Wasn't expecting to be a dad that soon but surprisingly blossomed in the role, even if she spent many a late night consoling her crying baby (it got easier when she got with her partners). Is definitely the fun dad; from least to most stern in terms of parenting it goes from Ranulf, Marth, Ike then Soren. Very fluffy, purrs when cuddling his partners and/or kids. 💙 Lethe - Older twin sister of Lyre. Past Partner of Ranulf. Mother of Daphne. Member of the Gallian Army. Cis Female (She/her), Bi. 💙 Not really a whole lot to put for her! Had a fling with Ranulf in the past and got pregnant with Daphne as a result of it, which was maybe a lil messy on her part considering her sister's possible feelings for Ranulf. Had no real desire to be a mother so she handed Daphne off to Ranulf and went on her way. I like to think she shows up every once in a while to check in but she isn't super present in Daphne's life. That definitely didn't affect them at all! 💙 Ness - Son of unnamed parents, adoptive son of King Consort Ike Greil, King Marth Lowell, King Consort Soren and King Consort Ranulf. Older brother of Tracy, adoptive older brother of Priam Greil, Daphne, Princess Adora Greil, Prince Tobias, Princess Griffen G. Lowell and Princex Tycho Lowell. Husband of Lucas. Father of Jarvis. Technical Prince of Altea. Smash Tournament Member. Member of the Tournament Committee. Owner of a local diner (name TBA). Baseball Player. Transmasculine/Nonbinary (He/they), Bi. 💙 Listen I can't really explain why Ness was adopted by Ike/Marth/Soren/Ranulf (initially just Ike and Marth), it's just been a part of Kim and I's slapped together worldbuilding since like 2014 when we played Brawl/4 at my house and did lil dramatic RPs. Ik it's weird but it makes me happy so I'm keeping it sorry not sorry. Anyways, I finally changed his design and I like it a lot more now, plus he coincidentally looks similar to Priam now so that's a bonus haha. Still gets nightmares from his encounter with Giygas and is terribly wary of Sterling. Is still besties with Paula, Jeff and Poo (and maybe helped set up Paula and Kumatora). Technically royalty since Marth adopted him but has no real political power (nor does he desire it). 💙 Lucas - Son of Flint and Hinawa. Younger twin brother of Claus. Husband of Ness. Father of Jarvis. Smash Tournament Member. Trans Male (He/him), Gay. 💙 Luke!! I've been a Nesscas enjoyer since I was 14 so it's nice to do more with them. The uncle of Amie, Claus' kid (the other parent currently being Ninten but I've been debating on making it Fuel instead and maybe making Ninten an ex? Mainly cause idk if I like Clausten as much as I did back when I first started VV). Still taller than Ness in adulthood, not that his partner minds :3c. Bonded with Ness during the events of Subspace and eventually over their game-specific traumas. Is also besties with Red/Pokemon Trainer. 💙 Priam Greil - Son of King Consort Ike Greil and King Consort Soren, stepson of King Marth Lowell and King Consort Ranulf. Adoptive younger brother of Ness, older step-brother of Daphne, older half-brother of Princess Adora Greil, Prince Tobias, Princess Griffen G. Lowell and Princex Tycho Lowell. Technical Prince of Altea. Member of the Greil Mercenaries. Smash Tournament Member. Nonbinary (He/they), Gay. 💙 Initially Priam was the son of Ike and Soren, who got adopted by Ranulf when they broke up and Soren began dating him. That was until I realized I liked IkeSoren (and later IkeRanulf) too much to separate them and made the huge Aimarusoranulf conglomerate family. Now he was born to Ike and Soren, who later got with Ranulf, and then with Marth when they came to the Mansion, so Pri has just been accumlating dads since he was born haha. He and Ness have a playful rivalry over who the coolest older brother is. Hasn't really had a stable romantic relationship but his most common partners are Shigure and Hisame. Is technically a Prince since Marth adopted him but has no interest in the duties that come with it. 💙 Daphne - Daughter of King Consort Ranulf and Lethe, stepdaughter of King Marth Lowell, King Consort Ike Greil and King Consort Soren. Adoptive younger sister of Ness, younger step-sister of Priam Greil, older half-sister of Princess Adora Greil, Prince Tobias, Princess Griffen G. Lowell and Princex Tycho Lowell. Technical Princex of Altea. Smash Tournament Member. Computer Engineer. 28 y/o. Unlabeled (They/he), Queer. 💙 Likes coding, drinking coffee, listening to music and minding their business. Not entirely satisfied with their color palette, nor am I 100% sure if I want to scrap them or not. I'll keep it on the backburner for now but I'll go ahead and list some notes anyways. Definitely inherited Lethe's RBF and sour attitude, is probably the grumpiest kid in the family. Is pestered by all of his more extroverted siblings but really wants to be left alone to type away at his computer. Despite that, they don't hate their siblings and they're secretly fond of them. Totally isn't holding a bit of a grudge against their mother for abandoning them even though she checks in once in a blue moon (def has mommy issues), but is quietly thankful they have four dads who are present and love them. Their weapon of choice is their Beast Form! 💙 Princess Adora Greil - Daughter of King Consort Ranulf and King Consort Ike Greil, additional daughter of King Marth Lowell and King Consort Soren. Adoptive younger sister of Ness, younger half-sister of Priam Greil and Daphne, older half-sister of Prince Tobias, Princess Griffen G. Lowell and Princex Tycho Lowell. Princess of Altea. Smash Tournament Member. 25 y/o. Nonbinary (He/him), Lesbian. 💙 Likes weight lifting, rock music, building models, baking bread and going to parties. A big beefcake just like his dads, is always trying to get stronger. Could probably lift weights in his sleep. Has no manners at all despite being a Princess, will openly belch during speeches and manspread in front of stuffy old officials. A big brash jock lesbian who has probably dated every gal on the Mansion grounds at least once. While he's the first child born from the union of all four parents and the technical true heir to Marth's throne, he has forfeited the title on purpose because being the future ruler of Altea sounds like a lot of paperwork, and he hates working more than he has to. Is workout buddies with Priam (just realized they both also wear headbands, Ike's influence). Actually quite smart despite his gym-bro vibe. His weapon of choice is his War Hammer! 💙 Prince Tobias - Son of King Consort Ranulf and King Consort Soren, additional daughter of King Marth Lowell and King Consort Ike Greil. Adoptive younger brother of Ness, younger half-brother of Priam Greil, Daphne and Princess Adora Greil, older half-brother of Princess Griffen G. Lowell and Princex Tycho Lowell. Prince of Altea. Smash Tournament Member. Librarian. 23 y/o. Cis Male (He/him, Aro/Ace) 💙 Likes reading, practicing spells, table tennis, paintball, car restoration and volunteering. A himbo with not a single thought in his head but will surprisingly come up with some serious wisdom in the middle of a conversation. Has no interest in dating/any kinds of relations because it takes time away from his hobbies and being with family/friends, but is always down to cuddle. Probably the closest with Daphne; they're complete opposites with Daphne being Daphne and Tobi being an extroverted ray of sunshine but they work quite well. Daph is probably the most tolerant of Tobi out of all of their siblings. His weapon of choice is his Beast Form and magic! 💙 Princess Griffen G. Lowell - Daughter of King Marth Lowell and King Consort Ike Greil, additional daughter of King Consort Ranulf and King Consort Soren. Adoptive younger sister of Ness, younger half-sister of Priam Greil, Daphne, Princess Adora Greil and Prince Tobias, older half-sister of Princex Tycho Lowell. Princess of Altea. Smash Tournament Member. 22 y/o. Genderfluid (She/he mainly), Pan 💙 Likes playing video games, studying, making flower crowns, training, traveling and playing the ukulele. My baby girl!!! Back when Venomverse first started this family was solely comprised of Ike, Marth, Ness and Griffen, so she's pretty much the face of Smash Bros VV. Is kinda an inverse of Adora, who is largely golden with blue highlights while he is largely blue with golden highlights. Ike is definitely emotional about the fact that two of his kids kinda look like his dad. Griff's spots have been around since her original design, and since Ike doesn't have them I'm gonna say she got them from Grandma Elena. Extremely optimistic and bubbly, could find the one positive thing there is in the worst situation. Has the biggest crush on Prince Ryder, one of the kids in the King K. Rool/King Dedede/Meta Knight/Bandana Waddle Dee family, but doubts anything will come of it. Will occasionally date Prince Lancelot, middle child of Prince Corrin, but most days he's her cringefail best friend. His weapon of choice is his Battle Axe! 💙 Princex Tycho Lowell - Child of King Marth Lowell and King Consort Soren, additional daughter of King Consort Ranulf and King Consort Ike Greil. Adoptive younger sibling of Ness, younger half-sibling of Priam Greil, Daphne, Princess Adora Greil, Prince Tobias and Princess Griffen G. Lowell. Princex of Altea. Smash Tournament Member. 19 y/o. Transfeminine/Agender (They/them), Lesbian. 💙 Likes the stars, writing policies, chess, painting, horseback riding and archery. Is the youngest of the family but probably the most capable for the Altean throne next to maybe Griffen or Tobias. Actually enjoys discussing policy change, giving speeches and listening to the concerns of their people. Tycho has accepted their father's mentions of them being the one to inherit the throne considering their siblings are either ineligible, unwilling or unprepared, and is surprisingly not nervous about it at all. What does make them nervous is a pretty girl, but luckily they have their best wingman Adora to help soothe their nerves. While Ty enjoys interacting with others, they love their free time all the same, and can often be found in their observatory sketching or looking at the night sky. Is unaware of how pretty they are. Enjoys practicing magic with Soren. Their weapon of choice is their Black Dragon Form and magic! 💙 Jarvis - Son of Ness and Lucas. Smash Tournament Member. Pianist. 19 y/o. Agender (He/they/she), Demisexual Bi. 💙 Likes working on Link's farm, dogs, playing the piano, teaching kids and collecting action figures. An anxious lil guy! Does not yet have the confidence and bravery of their dads but will get there in time. Has a love-hate relationship with her cousin Amie, who picks on her like its her job but will also be there to give her some stoic words of wisdom. Hell I can imagine Amie taking a valuable collectable he had out of the box and spinning it into some kind of narrative about enjoying life instead of just dreaming about it. While she's the Aimarusoranulf kid's nibling, she's essentially like a younger sibling, especially since she and Tycho are the same age (Tycho is a month older). Jarvis is probably closest with Tycho because of this, and Tycho tries their best to get Jarvis out of his shell alongside Griffen. Feels a lil intimidated by how accomplished and high-ranking most of her family is, and feels a bit out of place. Is probably the most comfortable working on Link's farm, where they don't have to worry about impressing anyone. Her weapon of choice is PSI!

Tellius Recollections, Ike's Supports

The below are the scans of Ike's support conversations in Vol. 1. Each support line seems to have a little note from the devs and you can also see the original Japanese version of the conversations. If you share them online, you can credit me for the scans of mediocre quality using my old scanner if you so choose. I'm sorry if it's a bit blurry on the edges, I tried to smush the book as flat as I could without breaking it.

(If there are other pages you want to see, check out my master list)

[theia-eos]

Yeah, Ranulf needed more anything in the games. Base Conversations, supports, whatever (would help if RD had real supports for anyone).

I also can't help but think of the fact that the games imply (very heavily in the extended scripts of Pt 4 of RD) that Ranulf is tied to Order, so he's negatively affected by the chaotic energies of battle and thrives in the final part because there's no more chaos.

Which means that he more than likely does not get any enjoyment out of fighting like Skrimir or Tibarn do, but does it anyway. And is cheerful and kind and empathetic despite how the wars must be impacting him.

I wish we could see more about that, because I love Ranulf. He's a great guy and deserves the world.

Ranulf is by far one of the characters with the most potential that I wish they went more in depth with. He's such an important and prominent character, but the fact that you don't even hear he's been having these nightmares for the past three or so years now unless you get this specific dialogue is such a shame.

I think he's a perfect comedy relief/plot serious balanced character, but the amount of personal information we have about him/his feelings/his life are minimal. We see a completely different side of him when they went to Gritnea Tower in PoR, but it's something we only see again one more time, and that's in this chapter.

It's basically like, he has a lot of depth and personality, but they only sprinkle it very sparingly. I just find that to be so odd considering his importance in both games, and the fact that he's one of the central characters in RD in general (that is, he's even more prominent in RD than he was in PoR, and he was still relatively important in PoR). He's no less filled with characterization than other main characters like Ike and Soren, but we're given it so infrequently that it's much easier to gloss over and not think much about again.

I wish they did more with the other facets of his character, outside of him being one of the most kind, intelligent and empathetic characters (especially among the beast laguz, since the general impression we're given is that the bird tribe uses logic over emotion in comparison to the usually emotional and erratic beast laguz, and those are the two most prominent laguz species in the story).

Like, it's great that he has those qualities, but people get angry. They get aggressive. They get enraged. No person is just a solid funny and nice person, and Ranulf has all of those kind and angry qualities, but they skimp so much on this amazing writing of him. You learn so much about him and what he's been going through from these few brief instances of him becoming angry, but they just don't touch on it enough. They had a chance to continue his first base conversation with Ike and bring it up to him. It would've been the perfect time, because we have this dialogue in their first conversation:

Ike: You can come talk to me anytime you want. Don’t think you’re alone in all this. Ranulf: Heh… What are you, an inquisitor? Ike: A guy’s got to do something between battles. Talk to you later. Ranulf: …

At first Ranulf was talking about feeling bad for bringing beorc into a laguz affair, and then they discuss that Skrimir is giving Ranulf a headache with his behavior. That could've been their first conversation, but then they could've had a follow up based around the end of their conversation (the above). It would've been the perfect opportunity to give us another base conversation where Ranulf does go to talk to him because of these nightmares and all the stress he's been having. Imo the way they end the conversation with "...", makes it sound like there's more on Ranulf's mind than just what he was open about.

If you consider that he's been having nightmares about what he saw at Gritnea Tower for the past few years, then you consider that the laguz all just found out from Rafiel that the Begnion senators started the rumor about the herons to get them all killed, it's reasonable imo to consider that Ranulf is intelligent enough that he may have been starting to put the pieces together.

We learn late into part 3 that Izuka was working with the senators, and I feel like Ranulf's suspicions should've been raised. I don't think it's necessarily bad writing that he didn't catch on, but more of a missed opportunity. The whole situation affected him very deeply and they were very expressive about that in both games, but it's just that we don't see enough of that side of him, as in, we don't see it enough times.

In a way I feel like it also hits harder when you have the fun/funny, friendly, kind person experience something that tragic - witnessing the result of his race having been used for experiments and seeing their rotted corpses. Knowing people see his race as expendable and on top of that, left their carcasses to rot after pure torture. He saw innocent lives that had been taken and after all that horror, not even given any sort of burial, let alone a proper one.

There's also the fact that he's a cat - he has a very good sense of smell, and that's how he realized who the Black Knight was before anyone else. The smell of rotting corpses alone would be a lot to handle, but to be able to smell it better than anyone else in the room would have been absolutely traumatizing.

Again - the fun and funny, friendly, kind person experienced something horrible enough that he had a breakdown over it (and (presumably extreme based on context) subsequent emotional distress for years following). Tibarn and Reyson had their own ways of dealing with it that we were also shown (Tibarn was more much collected about it, and he put his rage into his strength, which Reyson similarly did, versus Ranulf's very outward emotional response), but Ranulf has never been subjected to anything that horrendous through the events of the game prior.

To have it be a one off situation in both games (as detailed as they were at the times they happened) is a huge shame imo and deserved to be expanded upon. It's clearly not something he got over over the years, and may never have gotten over post RD (even if he did feel better about it after killing Izuka or, if you didn't have him kill Izuka, if he felt better about it knowing Izuka had been killed for his crimes by the army Ranulf was part of).

I just wish they went more into detail about his feelings, because they were very powerful and emotional and felt like they should've been a stronger part of his character as a whole. Considering his role in RD is about as important if not more important than Elincia's PoR presence, it's something he really deserved as a central character. I love this battle dialogue because it shows you his raw feelings outside of that good ol' sweetheart guy. We can see something he's been struggling with, and we can see him express that so well in the scene they did give him that it would've been amazing to have more of that.

thank you for putting traditional clothing in your weak points, it was really fun to draw <3

[thousand-winters]

Can we talk about Ranulf and Soren's friendship? Can we talk about Ranulf noticing here and in RD how Soren is less closed off and being happy for him? Can we-
