#Gyran Triskelion

[k25ff]

"If the essence of magic is to defy reality, the essence of true mastery is to defy magic."

Gyran has probably forgotten more about magic across her life than anyone who has challenged her has ever known. (1600)

who will you be without them 

[gayrfalcon]

there may be no actual gyran sadstuck on my blog but k2 has said some terrible things on discord

[k25ff]

When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears

Gyran-based finishing move: throw a big spike of pure sunlight at them. Works for most things. (1671)

[k25ff]

"And so I sez to them, I sez-"

Aidra and Gyran. In a fit of productive writing, I've written about their (mis)adventures at approximately NaNoWriMo speed over nearly the past week. Terrifying. (1659)

[k25ff]

I met a traveller from an antique land.

Gyran's outfit didn't feel "fantasy-y" enough for the Panspermia setting in general, so here she is in something a bit more magic-user. (1569 (nice))

[k25ff]

"I should start charging you for these quotes you're writing down."

It's a quick Gyran sketch, while I'm thinking about NPCs from Panspermia. The people at the liquor store don't ID her because they can see the light has left her eyes. (1606)

“To some, eternity is a blessing. To others, it is an abyss.”

Gyran, doing some hovering.

“No.”

Pose dynamically and counterspell something, Gyran.

“No. I don’t call myself the best magician in the world. Saying that is the sort of thing that gets every jumped-up megalomaniac with too much time on their hands to try to prove you wrong, and I have enough of those to deal with already.”

Humble, that Gyran.

No brothers left/ And there’ll be no more after me.

Deuteronomy 2:10 - “The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims”

Also a song by the Mountain Goats. Here’s a Gyran.

“Mmm, yes? Oh, yes. Your move, young lady.” “I’m older than you, old man.” [Click] [Click] “Well-well, you know what I mean. Why, this reminds me of the time that...”

Two old acquaintances, interesting each other in games of skill and maybe a bit of luck.

“Our secrets did not save us.”

Gyran, doing something magical and Actiony.

Last and Only of House Triskelion, tremendously powerful magician, snappy dresser. The list goes on.

[k25ff]

“In the terrible cold of Oskori Ton Falkyr, far to the south of our mountains, she stood against the massed hordes of the Deathless, necromancer-lord of those frozen southern wastes. She bade him turn back three times, and when his army of the dead yet advanced, called down a star from the heavens themselves, destroying the entire army in a blaze of cleansing light.”

-From an orcish tale, told near bedtime.

redraw of this gyran, from three years ago. like to think i’ve improved a bit!

[k25ff]

“Did I leave the backstory stove on, back home?”

Based on recent events in Panspermia β, Gyran feels like someone’s walking on her grave.
