broken vows, broken horns

"Leave, and never come back. If you ever set foot in this city again, you're dead, you hear me?" He spits in Val's direction before turning away, muttering under his breath, "Traitorous little devil."

This is a little glimpse into Val's past, back when they were 17.

When I made Val's tattoos, one of the other players said that the snake motif reminded them of gang tattoos where the symbol of the gang is repeated across the body. That planted the seed for Val's backstory in my head. And even more perfectly, I had already decided weeks ago that the reason Val is never seen without their captain's hat is that their horns had been broken many years ago.

But why would breaking of horns matter? Oh, of course. It's an all-tiefling gang! And broken horns is a sign to anyone who knows the gang/criminal underworld that "this person is not to be trusted, do not let them join your crew".

So I ended up with a tiefling gang called the Horned Serpents, and decided to place them in the port city of Xen, where Val will be taking the party after rescuing Rook. This would explain why Val hadn't been there in years (15 to be precise), and thus allow the DM to surprise me with whatever is going on there.

Unbeknownst to me, Xen and the surrounding area has a... complicated history with the Hells, and already is wary of tieflings. So it makes perfect sense that the tieflings there would band together, especially if they were already ostracized. (Yay for accidental mind-reading!)

Val was basically raised by the Serpents, but they are too kind, too good a person to be complicit in gang violence for long. So when they were offered the chance, they became an informer, leading to the gang's dismantling and downfall. But some of the surviving/escaped members discovered Val's treachery and came after them, beating them and breaking off their horns. And, of course, delivering the warning to never return to Xen.

Val fled and never looked back. For 15 years they've sailed all around the continent, but never docked in Xen. But if returning there is what it takes to save the life of one of their passengers, they'll do it.

[memento-morri-writes]

okay, this is kind of overdramatic, maybe, but I do like this last paragraph of Val's backstory summary doc:

Particularly "But the tides change, as they always do..."

(I realized I forgot to ever share Val's backstory doc with the party, despite me promising I'd do after they left.)

OC Profile: Kairo/Kyron, Tim, Susan

My OC profiles stalled for a bit because I still don't have my laptop that has everyone's lore on it, but I know these three by heart! As usual, they are all part of TCGD- my worldbuilding project!

You may notice that there are only 2 individuals pictured despite three being named. Tim, uh, doesn't have a design yet... despite me making him at least 10 years ago. He is an anthro (that part's for certain!): he has silver fur, a purple wristwatch, and doesn't wear clothes (three more certainties) and I think he is a wolf (still debating that one). They are very relevant to this story, though, so they're getting discussed today. Anyway!

Up top we have Kairo/Kyron (Kairo is on the left, and he is 12: Kyron is the same boy 3 years later at age 15: I will mostly be using Kyron to refer to him throughout this profile), and on the bottom we have Susan!

I'm genuinely not sure that this description is comprehensible but you get it anyway.

Susan is what a 6 year old thinks an evil person is like: she likes to sneer at babies and bully puppies. Despite that, though, she still has a strong set of moral standards: if a little kid was in danger and she was in a position to help them, she would (and then she would downplay it later, going like "oh I'm not NICE I totally saved that bus full of orphans from careening off a cliff for wholly selfish reasons.). Also she really likes brunch and considers this a core part of her personality. This is despite the fact that her species doesn't need to eat.

Tim (he/they) is a sweet, well-intentioned kid, but he has pretty low self esteem and describes himself as "boring". They are relatively solitary and hard to spur into action. He is best friends and brothers with Kyron. Also, he's nonbinary (note: uses nongendered language except for being Kyron's brother).

Kairo was a good-natured but ultimately kind of flat heroic kid. Upon his redevelopment into Kyron, he gained an unwavering commitment to justice and his friends as well as an unhealthy obsession with nostalgia and a bit of an edgy streak. He acts like what you'd imagine a very online, traumatized teen from the early-mid 2010's would act like. He has a fantasy-world tumblr where he reblogs edgy scene stuff. Also, Kyron (but NOT Tim or Susan) is a meta character, both in TCGD and in any other works he may be in (so, he knows that the world of TCGD was created by The Child diegetically, but he also knows I, tumblr user halboy, created The Child). I would describe Kyron's relationship to The Child as "adversarial"! I think me and Kyron's relationship is pretty chill these days tho.

These three were my childhood OCs: Susan was made when I was 6 and is my oldest OC ever, Kairo was made when I was 8 or so, Tim was created around the same time, and Kairo was redeveloped into Kyron around age 12. As these are such old OCs and they are pretty personal to me, their stories in TCGD are fictionalized versions of the changes I made to their characters over the years.

.....

The idea behind their stories in TCGD is that Kyron, Tim, and Susan escaped from the destruction of their previous place of employment, The Hero's Academy: a company dedicated to teaching kids to be world-saving heroes and fight villains trying to take over the world. Susan was a "practice villain", an assigned mentor to Kyron (then age 12), Tim (then age 11), and their class (approximately 10 other kids), helping them learn to fight and help others. The three of them escaped the destruction in a helicopter that Susan stole, and they landed in The Domain. Now the three of them live together in that helicopter :). On a meta level, The Child abandoned this storyline in favor of creating The Domain. (A note: naturally, there were a lot more kids at the Hero's Academy, and they did not end up coming to The Domain because The Child forgot about them. This is plot important).

Tim and Susan have adapted relatively well to life in The Domain, but they're both failing to fully integrate into The Chosen (on account of The Chosen all being canon characters, and Kyron/Tim/Susan being The Child's OCs). Kyron has discovered that the two of them are in danger of being Forgotten entirely by The Child (which would cause them to disappear like the other kids did: that would be very bad). Susan, it seems, would be abandoned in favor of Sludgg, but Kyron does not know which of The Chosen would take Tim's place. This is a serious existential threat to their lives, so Kyron has taken it upon himself to force them to be involved in the world so that they won't be forgotten.

Along with that, Kyron resents his change in living situation and misses his old friends and routine. Kyron also got a redesign during this transition, from his spiky appearance to the less-spiky appearance. Now going from a good-hearted kid to an still good-hearted but very edgy teen who knows that he is fictional and thus understands that he can make seemingly-impossible things happen, he has been in search of the other kids and a way back to the Hero's Academy. Note that he has not told Susan or Tim about this: generally, the few meta characters in TCGD understand that it was distressing to learn that their lives are fictional, so they don't want to subject anyone else to that. Susan and Tim would be concerned if they knew, though: in their perspective, their peers are certainly dead (and as they have been Forgotten, Susan and Tim are barely able to remember them beyond "yeah we worked with them, I miss them". Which is fucked up. That will be addressed.)

....

All TCGD characters deal with a serious theme: Kyron, Tim, and Susan are involved with coming-of-age themes, but also ideas of healing from trauma and managing coping mechanisms, as well as the idea of managing one's responses to nostalgia (how do we determine what was really better when we were younger, and what just seemed better because we were 12)?

[six-improbable-things]

I’d been meaning to write this conversation that happened off-screen between two of my dnd characters (Rook and Val, my temporary character when he got kidnapped) for months, and I finally got around to it on Monday night. So here, have my favorite part:

“You asked to see me?” Rook said nothing. His eyes, no longer clouded with fever, scanned Val’s face as though trying to place it in his memory. Realizing he probably had no memory of the day before, or their role in his rescue, Val added, “I’m Captain Kyron Valris. You’re on my ship, the Devil’s Scorn.” Rook’s eyes brightened and wincing, he pushed himself into a sitting position. “Captain.” His voice was incredibly hoarse, and Val briefly wondered if it was from screaming or lack of water. Knowing Wolf, probably both. He continued, “I take it I have you to thank for my rescue.” Val shook their head. “Not at all. It’s your friends you have to thank.” Rook frowned, seemingly uncomprehending. Val grabbed the chair from their desk and dragged it so it was facing the bed. “Yes, I took this job, but I wouldn’t have done it if your friends hadn’t come looking for you. They must love you very very much to go up against Wolf for you. Especially given the fulos’ history with her.”  Rook’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What do you know about my friends?” “I know they were so damn desperate to save you that they would betray someone who they called family. Speaking from experience, I know that’s not easy. Not to mention that Wolf is the most powerful captain around.” Val smiled. “You should have seen Dr. Orchid in particular. I thought he was going to dive right off the side and swim to you.” Rook froze, mouth open. “R-really?” Val nodded. “And on the ship, all of them would have fought her crew empty-handed if they had to.” “I… I didn’t know that.” His shoulders slumped and he looked down, away from Val. “I figured you didn’t. That’s not the kind of thing people usually say themselves.” After a moment of silence they continued, “And you must love them very much. I hear one of the first things out of your mouth when you woke up was asking if anyone got hurt.” They let out a short laugh. “Here you are, only a few hours out from the edge of the grave, and all you can think about is your friends.” There was a long silence before Rook said, “I do… I’d do anything for them.” Val sighed,  “Maybe what you should be doing for them is keeping yourself safe.” Rook looked up, eyes wide. “I don’t mean to be harsh, but from what I heard they were trying to protect you, and you left them.”

and then the last few lines of the piece:

Val got to their feet and returned the chair to its position by the desk. “I think that’s enough for one day. I’ll send Dr. Orchid back in.” They moved towards the door, but paused, hand on the knob and turned back to look at the young man on the bed. “You’d make a good captain someday, Rook.” His jaw dropped open in surprise as Val turned away and stepped out onto the deck.

Val is out here dropping truth bombs, and my boy might be finally ready to hear them.

OC TIME!

His name is Kyron, his two moods are tired and angry. I think I got his personality pretty good through his expressions. His pants leg is held up with a paper clip because I said so. He's a soldier for the Phoenix Base, going mostly on solo missions, though he sometimes does group missions if he has time. If he's asked of something he does it, no matter what.

I don't know how to do body hair or muscles but I wanted him to have both for the realism and I regret it. Also note the fact I gave myself the option to NOT DRAW TWO EYES AND I DID IT ANYWAY.

Next one!

Her name is Rico, she's pretty arrogant and cocky, though she has the skills to back it up. The same wound that gave her the scar on her face also blinded that eye, but a prosthetic was given to her once she arrived at the Phoenix Base. Her main job on the Phoenix Base is to provide information for ongoing missions. She has a high tech laptop and it constantly has thirty tabs open. Most of them are games or forums but the others are classified info and coordinates. She uses notepad+ for shits and giggles. Anytime not helping with a mission is spent playing games. She eats on missions.

Backstory time!

In this not-very-fleshed-out universe they are the only two humans in the Phoenix Base. It's set in an apocalyptic dystopia and I chose Phoenix because I've never seen one of those set in AZ. I'd say this is set way in the future, as there are other futuristic races coexisting. Humans are seen as very fragile, yet the alien races are constantly surprised how far they can push their limits. Bets are placed on when Kyron will collapse, as anyone can see he hasn't met the necessary daily self care requirements in the two years he's been at the base.

Why do they need missions? Supplies are procured in the Phoenix Base so that's not the reason. It wouldn't be an apocalyptic universe without alien and mutant monsters! They are constant threats to survival and the most common ones enjoy nesting in the ruins. They're not very dangerous but they're tenacious.

When the other races realized Kyron and Rico were the only two humans in the Phoenix Base they decided to do a nice little meet-up to introduce the humans.

Unfortunately, they already knew eachother, and hate each other. They had no clue they were even at the Phoenix Base, and as it turns out, two years before they each seperately joined the Phoenix Base they had a bit of a... Falling out.

Scar explanation time!

Rico was 17 and Kyron was 29, and they were working together. It was a couple of years into their partnership and Rico decided to do a harmless little prank on Kyron. She scouted out an empty ruin using her lifeform detector and directed Kyron to that one instead. Unfortunately for Rico and Kyron both, it wasn't empty. Instead, there was a nest of evolved nesting monsters who had adapted to be invisible to the outdated lifeform analyser Rico had. Kyron, who was not prepared for that enemy (the mission was a low risk supply gathering mission), was caught completely off guard. Fighting desperately, he asked Rico where the fuck she led him, but she was shell shocked and didn't respond. Heavily wounded after the fight, Kyron asked again, but Rico only said to get back immediately.

Kyron listened, and trudged through the desolate landscape with gaping wound across his chest. When he returned, he demanded an explanation from Rico, but she was too ashamed and horrified at Kyron's appearance to answer. Kyron wouldn't let up, though, and pushed for an answer. Rico still refused, trying to redirect the conversation to Kyron's wounds.

As Rico approached to clean the wound, Kyron pushed her away, and in her shocked state she wasn't able to catch herself until it was too late, grabbing onto the corner of the cabinet she fell against. The momentum swung her head directly into the harsh handle of the cabinet drawer. Kyron rushed forward to help after realizing what he'd done, but Rico ran away faster than Kyron's exhausted body could keep up.

Now both alone and heavily wounded, both seemingly betrayed by the other, they went their "seperate" ways, hoping to never see the other again.

"And then, you're not gonna believe this, he ate the whole thing!"

In the distant future, when their adventuring is done and their fortunes made, a couple settles down to create a home for themselves. A place to rest their heads and to hold the spoils of their journey. A place with a view. A home to raise a family.

But then the two got bored and turned their home into an adventurer's guild that doubles as a bar and an inn which they run. If you happen to be in the area and you're looking for a place to swap stories or look for a new gig, look for the Horny Fox. You won't regret it!

(I loved watching this masterpiece get drawn. It's honestly one of my favorite commissions cause of the history you can feel oozing out of every item on display.

For context, these two (my witchbard Kyron and my kitsune sword saint Xao) are the parents of my gunslinger bard, so I wanted to see what they would look like when they were ready to retire as their 20th level incarnations. And fitzroy didn't disappoint!)

[morrigan-sims]

some recent CAS "experiments" (...heh, get it?)

Some of the characters from the Black Desert campaign that I've been spinning around in CAS lately... In order: - Captain Kyron "Val" Valris, my temporary character for while Rook gets kidnapped, got another coat. - ????, Rook's mother, finally got a face. - Dr. Purity/Meladria/we-still-don't-know-his-real-name, the BBEG, got a cannon appearance/face reveal for the first time. - Sigmar, Dr. Purity's avatar/corpse puppet, I finally felt confident enough to share his sim.

Bonus sulky Purity, bc the Vanguard foiled his plans and he has to stop following Rook around.

sunday monday snippet

“You asked to see me?” Rook said nothing. His eyes, no longer clouded with fever, scanned Val’s face as though trying to place it in his memory.

You’re on my ship, the Devil’s Scorn.” Rook’s eyes brightened and wincing, he pushed himself into a sitting position. “Captain. I take it I have you to thank for my rescue.” His voice was incredibly hoarse, and Val briefly wondered if it was from screaming or lack of water. Knowing Wolf, probably both.  They shook their head. “Not at all. It’s your friends you have to thank.” Rook frowned, seemingly uncomprehending.

I found my childhood Sims save files and this just reaffirms my commitment that I should never be trusted to name anything ever. Why the fuck is this guy's name "Conos (Chrono Trigger)", I never even played that. Fake fan :(

Other names from this specific set of saves includes 'Reco' (he's Conos's boyfriend :))))... full name Reco Lusiove :/ ) and 'Carp' (Reco's dad), but some other winners include Glivk (gl-ih-vehk, brown stardew valley chicken), Kinalek (kin-ah-leh-ck, Walrein, pokemon), and Kario (childhood OC. Pronounced car-ee-o, like "Mario", but was almost definitely supposed to be named Cairo, after the city.)
