Part 1/3 the Tal'darim
Part 2/3 the Khalai <- you're here Part 3/3 the Nerazim
Part two of this ask, the Khalai
Erzadar. Formerly Erzolun (Because I have another Khalai OC named Talizun and I thought the names were way too similar) First concept was from 2022 (can be seen on the far bottom right of the art compilation) She was originally a tiny researcher from the Shelak tribe (??? I think??) Erza and her team of Khalai protoss were essentially Auir’s equivalent to Shakuras’s delegate team of Nerazim/terran diplomats/researchers/whatever.
She (and all the OCs from this story) were in kind of a limbo as they laid forgotten high on a metaphorical shelf of my mind, collecting dust, while I played with other OCs and stories. Until I was *this* video like half a year ago (no, it is not a Rickroll) and was like oh my god. oh. not to be a lesbian but oh my god. oh my fucking god Jesus Christ- we all know the meme.
Anyway, since then she became a tall, beefy adept.
She’s still mostly in development and therefore there’s not much to say about her. She’s a former zealot (became an adept during the events of LotV) With a friendly personality in a way only people in their early 20s have. She was assigned as a bodyguard/guide to the Dominion delegates Auir hosts and quickly becomes friends with most of them, namely Victor. And yes, I absolutely do plan to drag these two through months and years of delicious angst and yearning and denial and more angst before I allow them to become a thing. Their fault they’re my OCs.
Talizun is also a character who I’ve had for a looooooong time too (2018????? Before 2020) but I never really fleshed him out despite his key importance to the plot of Zhakul’s story. He didn’t even have a name until late 2021 ahaha oops. Most of his story was also conceived that year, meaning it’s pretty outdated and also prone to change in places, but I think it’s skeleton will remain.
Tali is a chill templar from a fringe Khalai colony so far away from the empire that it was entirely excluded from the great war that took place during the events of SC2. Him and many of his templar brethren were in stasis for centuries, only awakened AFTER the war was concluded, which is also the reason why he still bears his cords and is tethered to the Khala. (One of the big changes in this AU, aside from Shakuras not exploding and the Daelaam not being a thing anymore, is that the Khala prevails. This could be a separate yap session for later, I’m just making this clear now in case someone is confused over me mentioning it)
Anyway. He’s very chill and level-headed for a zealot, which actually came in handy because Zhakul needed to do some serious deconstructing of the bullshit Dal filled his head with and Tali was up for the job. The two end up bonding over a similar experience (being removed from protoss society for so long they feel like complete outsiders) become friends and eeeeeeeeeeventually form a Zhakul-centred polycule that also includes Jake and various other terrans and protoss.
Tali eventually gets himself killed in a border skirmish with the Tal’darim (originally it was Y’rash that yeeted him, now I’m not sure that’s canon anymore) he’s stuffed into the shell of a dragoon and does his best to continue with his life as well as he can, which is made much more complicated because he ends up having an oopsie baby (who we will also talk about later) and from then on struggles with the crushing feeling of knowing he can never be an adequate parent to them because his broken body must forever remain locked in a dragoon exoskeleton.
The Talendir Orchard Head FamilyTM
The main characters in Project Sammuro. There’s very little to say about them for now because the story they were created for is at its infancy and therefore their characters are also very underdeveloped. They’re a down-to-earth family of protoss living in rural parts of Auir, growing and harvesting sammuro fruit for it’s rich blue dye, then distributing it across the Khalai empire as needed.
The story focuses on this entire process and also works as a lightbulb moment for Victor, who realises that the strongly capitalistic society of the Dominion is very very flawed in comparison to the more traditional, socialistic economy the protoss have where culture, tradition and the well-being of it’s people are far more important to them than profit and power.
#Erza and Victor are essentially Zhakul/Jake but on a different planet#This was done mostly because I wanted to see how I'd turn out if Jake did a complete opposite of what he did when Titania's war came#Also I just. Really love the whole “human and alien are in love and have to navigate their relationship as best as they can” kind of thing#Garrus Vakarian and Talizorah nar Rayya my beloved#Tali is just hearbraking because he hinds out he has a child years after he gets stuffed into a dragoon#And has to live with the knowledge that he will never be able to hug them#Or otherwise be an “average” parent to them#He gets pretty jealous of Jake because of this#Also becomes nearly fanatical about Elyn staying connected to the Khala and not following his Nerazim heritage#Because the Khala is the only place for them to stay truly connected through#I will also eventually start posting about Project Sammuro. A few years down the line I think ifhvbfhb#Starcraft#Protoss#Protoss OC#Talizun#Erzadar#Karanis#Ulnara#Asundar#Norun#Victor Andersen#my art#original character#artists of tumblr

Comfyvember 21
Story: The Four (original) Prompts: Enthusiastic greeting — Late night laughter — Waking up together
Timor couldn't suppress his grin as Norun banged his stick against the marble floor and announced loudly, “Lady Taria of the Tritons!”
Taria's expression was much more composed than his, but the ridges of translucent spikes on her head kept bristling up like a cat's fur and then smoothing down as she clearly tried to rein in her excitement. Her long tail also swished back and forth more vigorously than her stately gait down the plush blue carpet to the foot of the throne warranted. One of the castle guards escorting her stumbled slightly as her tail knocked into him.
At the halfway point, the guards flanking her came to a halt with a clank of armor, then they both saluted Timor and stood at attention. As Norun had no doubt instructed her, Taria took three more steps forward—though her strides were much longer than a human's, so she was much closer than most visitors and petitioners Timor saw in the throne room. She was close enough that he could see the flames from the candelabra flickering in her big black eyes and the red scales that covered her head to foot.
Taria bent in an elaborate bow, arms extended to either side, tail curled up behind her, and sank to one knee. Timor had to bite his lip momentarily to keep from bursting into laughter. Most onlookers probably thought this was a traditional Triton gesture or something, but Timor knew that even the Triton king only received a respectful nod of the head with a hand on the heart.
“You are most welcome, Lady Taria,” Timor said. Somehow, he managed to do it without laughing, even though she lifted her head and winked at him.
“Leave us, please,” he said, gesturing to the guards and meeting Norun's disapproving gaze. “I would speak with the Triton ambassador alone.”
Norun looked like he wanted to argue, but finally bowed deeply and backed out of the throne room, along with all the other attendants and hangers-on. When the door shut behind the last one, Timor finally did what he'd been wanting to do ever since she'd been announced. He hopped down from the throne and rushed forward, just as Taria got to her feet and caught him in a bear hug.
“Look at you, shooting up like a beansprout!” Taria laughed, swinging him around in a circle. “I leave you for a year, and you've gone and grown up without me!”
Now that he was on his feet right in front of her, Timor realized that his head actually came up to her shoulder now. Yet she looked the same as ever, except that instead of the black tunic he was used to seeing her in, she now wore a silky blue shirt and swishy pants of the same color that almost looked like a skirt when she stood still.
“And you're pretty good at ordering people around now,” Taria chuckled, ruffling his hair as if to make him look a bit more like the scrawny waif she'd first met. “Who'd have thought you'd make such a good king?”
“Not me,” Timor said earnestly. “It's mostly Norun's doing, anyway. He knows all the customs and regulations, so mostly I just do it like he says. I've still got a lot to learn.”
She cocked her head and looked at him with a smile that almost looked sad. “You really are growing up. You're not that scared little kid who used to huddle up next to me after a nightmare while I tried to make him laugh. Which was every night, I might add.”
Timor's cheeks felt hot as he crossed his arms, trying to frown. “Is that any way to speak to the High King?”
Taria snorted loudly, probably the most undignified sound that had ever echoed around these marble walls. “Oh, I've got a lot more blackmail where that came from, Your Majesty. You just better thank your lucky gemstones in that crown of yours that I'm here on a goodwill mission. On your request, I might add.”
“Oh, right.” Timor had almost forgotten why she was here, in the rush of excitement at seeing her again for the first time in a year. “So you accept, then? You'll be my advisor for Triton relations, and stick around for a while to teach me everything I need to know about your people?”
“Sure!” Taria said with a casual shrug, belied by all the ridges on her head standing straight up like an excited porcupine. “Just tell me one thing: Is Farawin doing this too?”
Timor blinked in surprise. “He got here yesterday. How did you guess?”
Taria tipped her head back and laughed. “I didn't guess, I knew! It's obvious you just want to get the four back together again.” She crushed him against her side in another hug, grinning down at him with a toothy smile.
“Yes,” Timor admitted, savoring the warm touch of her hand on his shoulder, a liberty no one ever took with him these days. “Of course I do. I can't be myself unless I've got you.”
#comfy-vember 2024#enthusiastic greeting#late night laughter#waking up together#(i feel like this story barely fits any of those prompts except for the first one but oh well)#the four#timor#taria#i really wanted to introduce taria because i hadn't yet and i really like her#i probably need to rename the tritons like i renamed all the other races from the dumb names i came up for them when i was 12#but i haven't really landed on anything fitting just yet#taria herself has had more name changes than you can shake a stick at#but name woes aside i'm still very proud of baby novie for coming up with this character and race all on her own#(the only inspiration i can think of for this race is lizalfos from zelda XD)#this scene would happen a solid year after the end of the book so i'll probably never include it#astute readers may notice that timor isn't stuttering anymore ;)

A coalition of reimaginations on major boss battles in Dark Cloud, based on ideal muses for a revamp.
DIVINE BEAST KING, DRAN Guardian of Norune Village and overseer of the Divine Beast Cave. Once revered as a god, Dran has stepped down from his heavenly pedestal to lead a more humble life as an advisor to promising warriors.
KILLER SNAKE An infamous monster lurking in the depths of the Wise Owl Forest, the Killer Snake was renowned both for its nigh impenetrable scales and its corrosive venom. They say a legendary blade may pierce its armour, but as of yet, no hunter has found it, and no hunter has returned when setting out to slay this serpent.
FOREST OVERSEER, MASTER UTAN Guardian of Matatiki Village, Master Utan is the chronicler of the Wise Owl Forest, seeing time's passage through the very plants themselves. He watches over brave hunters striving to overcome their trials and earn his blessing, communing with the tree spirit Treant to ensure the forest's prosperity.
QUEEN OF FRIGID SPIRITS, LA SAIA In life, La Saia was the beloved princess of Queens. Though her parents sought to cede the throne to her, La Saia had eyes on another destiny; marriage to a humble merchant. Though she knew Queens would never accept royalty accepting a peasant's hand, La Saia sought out the love of her life regardless. But one night, when they were be wed in secret, he never came. Drowning in despair, La Saia cast off into her parent's flagship vessel, soon lost to a cold fate below the waves...
RESTLESS WRAITH, KING'S CURSE In the innermost tomb of the Sun-and-Moon Temple, the spirit of the old king of Muska Lacka, Bamilumba Hamolumba, rests in peace. But should terrible magic befall his resting place, the King's spirit will rise again, greater and more terrible than ever, and enact the King's Curse upon the unwitting.
RAGING MOON WARRIOR, MINOTAUR JOE The most prestigous gladiator of the Colosseum in Yellow Drops, Minotaur Joe lives for the thrill of a good fight. Any challenger in welcome in the ring, any weapons and mechs they may have. All that matter is the glorious rush of combat, and Minotaur Joe will see his win streak go unbroken for years.
DEMONIACAL KNIGHT, PENDRAGON Little is known of this myserious warrior who acts in service to General Flagg and the Dark Genie. Atop a vicious felid steed, this black knight hunts down those who would dare resist the new regime.
DARK GENIE Embodiment of hatred. Incarnation of wrath. Architect of suffering. So long as cruelty dwells in the heart of mankind, then the Dark Genie is eternal.

I know that I am loved by you because you've seen my crazy, my scared, my tired, my worried, my sad, my upset, my flaws and you have not run... There are 5 people in my life I can count on no matter what. 1. God - the ONLY one who has never let me down. Even though I might have thought He let me down at the time, in the long run I have learned He was actually saving me. And I learned that His "No" is His way of saving me, and that He has something better in store. Always. He has been completely faithful to me even when I have been less than faithful to Him. He still loves me, no matter what I've done. My complete trust is in Him. No questions, no doubts, no fears. He is my All in all. 2 and 3. My kids. They are always there for me. Always loving me through the hard times, always forgiving me through those same hard times. It is unconditional love that flows both ways. They are what grounds me, stabilizes me, gives me strength, gives me what I need. 4 and 5. My 2 best friends. We have been through ridiculous amounts of hard times in our respective lives, and, yet, we are still there for each other. Still supporting, encouraging and understanding each other. Through thick and thin. Outside of my kids, they are the only ones I allow myself to be completely vulnerable with - which, if you know me, is extremely difficult for me to do. Our friendship is a gift. A blessing. We have seen the best and worst of each other over the years and have not run. #NoRunning #Trust #IKnowIAmLoved #TheBestOfMe #MySomethingGood #IWouldBeLostWithoutThem #MyKids #MyFourWalls #MyGirls #Blessed #BestFriendship #BiggestBlessings #DeeperThanTheOceanAndFartherThanTheStars #EverythingYouDoMatters #SingleMom #SingleMomLife #TexasGirl #Over40 #GenX #Follow https://www.instagram.com/p/CbiomiHlCdX/?utm_medium=tumblr
