#GRGWGGR been thinking about them again lately

[thelemonsnek]

[id: a reference sheet of Lyfrassir Edda from The Bifrost Incident. They are tall, have brown skin, long white hair, feathered wings and a tail. Their hands and the underside of their hair and wings all have a shifting rainbow pattern to them. They are wearing a purple tunic with a darker purple vest over the top, gloves, light grey pants, and heeled boots. In one drawing, they stand neutrally facing the viewer, holding a gun in one gloved hand, with the other hand ungloved, showing off the rainbow swirls on their skin. In the second drawing, they sit with their wings spread out behind them.

The second image is the same drawing, but this time without the bifrost effects on their wings. End id]

Finally solidified their design after YEARS. Have a Lyf :> further notes under the cut

- their hands are so heavily affected because of black box exposure, from them constantly holding and handling it

- touching things with their bare hands causes the object (or being) to warp, becoming "infected" by the Bifrost. Some examples from writing I never finished,

"they finally twist around and shove at TS. [...] it clutches at its chest, feeling flesh slowly recede to back wood."

"Lyfrassir raises their hands to block her, freezing cold rainbows already sizzling through what remains of their gloves. She shrieks as their hands meet her flesh, and color begins to march across her body, twisting morphing shattering molding oozing merging-"

(I swear I also had one of them melting a mug, or maybe a pen, but I can't find it 😔 you get the idea though)

- their gloves were specially designed to withstand these effects

- stronger emotions = stronger bifrost effects. They tend to repress a lot all the time

- they can see the "strings" of the universe, and can play them like a harp to manipulate the outcome of things/change reality. This is harder to do with their gloves on, but possible - just less precise

- their wings didn't grow in until they were around 100 years old, per my headcanons for Midgardians. The Bifrost, which keeps them from dying, made this process Fucking Suck because it kept healing them before the wings were done coming in, leaving them in a constant state of skin ripping open, healing, and ripping open again for far too long

- because they haven't always had their wings, they tend to be slightly more expressive with them
