#Orthus

[kitsun369]

So. In Greek mythology, Cerberus was the only 3 headed doggo. BUT! Did you know that he had a......brother! His name was OTHRUS!!!!! Unfortunately, Hercules murdered him.

So in Disney Twisted Wonderland, during Book 7, we are introduced to Othro's new gear Cerberus! And his two cute robo-doggos! Which spoilers Mallues destroyed them.

I see what you did there, Disney.

I wanna give thanks to luckboy-draws on Instagram and on pateron! If it wasn't for him posting about Greek mythology facts, I wouldn't came across this info.

An ill-fated guard dog, guardian of Geryon's red cattle. He was ultimately one of Echidna's many children to fall in battle against the immensely powerful Heracles.

Eldara - Meet the characters! (spoilers)

I have been writing since june of 2014 and (hopefully) gotten rather good at it. That being said, most of my writing is in the form of worldbuilding; characters, settings, locations, maps, etc.

Here's a quick rundown of my characters with some more detailed descriptions below the break:

Kody - space mage assassin

Orthus - ancient dragon

William - ranger with a perfect aim

Zeenie - young dragon wanting to prove herself

Ezon - dark strider with a hard shell but a soft heart

Violet - rogue mage with a long life of trauma and alienation

Kody Johnson:

Bio: Cis gay/asexual man, white skin, short, black hair and black eyes, short, compact build

Age at start: 22, working as an assassin for the last 6 of them

Magic: space magic (teleportation, extra-dimensional spaces), telekinesis (weak/latent)

Inspiration: mostly all AC games and an initial self-insert/edgy character whom I've worked to make more realistic since

An assassin by profession, space mage by birth. Born into a high noble family, trained to kill, then disowned when he failed a family rite of passage (which was probably set up for him to fail). He lives in a house he built with Orthus, his dragon companion. It is partially inspired by the TARDIS of all things, being just a door on the outside, but a full-fledged home on the inside. Built with perhaps a bit of megalomaniac zeal, it has way too many rooms for just the two of them, but it serves as a good base of operation for the team once it assembles. He's pragmatic, tactical, but prone to over-straining his magic and ending up exhausted after any given high-intensity event.

Orthus:

Bio: Trans bisexual/biromantic man, dark skin (in human form) and pitch black scales (in dragon form), dark hair & eyes, variable stature & build

Age at start: at least 3000, though he might be significantly older. Has been living with Kody for the last 7 years.

Magic: Shapeshifting (inherent with dragons, but especially versatile in his case), space, fire, earth, shadow, etc.

An ancient dragon with a particular soft spot for humans. Born very long ago in the middle of a war, he hatched in the arms of a young, human girl, and grew up as her companion. He's gotten into a lot of trouble over the millennia and knows a few gods on a personal basis. Respected by Aquilan (northern/wood) elves and has a statue dedicated to him in the capital of a southern union of former Empire colonies. Transitioned after having to really consider his gender after getting pregnant and abandoning his daughter (an egg which comes up eventually in the story). He's calm, collected, a appears pretty stoic at first, but you'll get to know him as someone who cares deeply about everyone around him.

William Wolf:

Bio: Cis straight man, with shoulder-length, blond hair, blue eyes, and white skin, tall, slender

Age at start: 23, 17 of which were spent with the rangers

Magic: undetermined, but he has a low intensity, but long range ability of telekinesis, which is unusual

Inspiration: Aragorn/Legolas

A Ranger Patron (one down from Master) with high chances of making it to Master. Born in a small village of magic users, William always felt a bit of an outsider. His sister, Violet, who's 3 years older than him, was the reason that their parents moved there. From early on, a Ranger Master called Halt was interested in young William, who showed special promise to be a great ranger. When he was 6, their village was razed by empire troops, and he found an unhatched dragon egg under their home, which hatched in his hands. The young dragon is Zeenie, and has been with him since. After the fires died down, he and Zeenie escaped to meet Halt in a nearby town. Halt took them in, and raised William as his son, inducing him into the ranks of rangers.

Zeenie:

Bio: Cis girl (sexuality not addressed), short, thin, light green scales (in lizardfolk/vern form), blue/white scales (in dragon form), white skin and short, blonde hair (in human form, later dyed blue)

Age at Start: 17, hatched when William found her egg, beeing living with him since

Magic: limited shapeshifting, water/ice, air, light, etc.

Hatched from a long-forgotten egg buried under a family home, Zeenie had very little to go on by herself. She's become strongly connected to William, his initial burst of emotion being the thing that triggered her hatching. Through the years, she's been treated as an extension of Will, an accessory to him, and it has been bothering her for a while. Never having seen another dragon in her life before, when Kody mentions he is good friends with one, her mind was made up. Her journey is centered around learning to be a dragon, and above that, her own person.

Ezon Athor:

Bio: Cis bisexual man, medium height, bulky build, slightly hunched over posture, black hair and eyes, tan skin

Age at Start: 40+ (unknown), his past is a bit of a mystery even to him, having forgotten significant portions of it. He ages differently to other humans due to a number of invasive magical experiments performed on him as a child.

Magic: Absorption (he can forcefully drain any source of (regular) magic to bolster his own strength and endurance, accelerating his healing to unnatural levels), preconception (limited)

Inspiration: Bucky Barnes

Born into a small village, he was kidnapped by cultists as a baby because of his connection to one of the Elder gods (Nemun). He was experimented on (basically tortured), and gained a number of strange abilities with it. His perception is slightly skewed through time, making him see a bit into the immediate future, enhancing his reaction speed. His left arm was infected with a magical fungus, which enabled him to absorb all (regular) sorts of magic into him. He eventually escaped and later founded a family, which was then destroyed along with his new home in an attack by a fractured god (Nefest). He's been trying to gain power to defeated the god ever since.

Violet Wolf:

Bio: Cis bisexual woman, medium height, compact build in good condition, red hair, blue eyes, white skin.

Age at Start: 26, escaped the attack that left her and William orphans. She spent a few years on the run, then a few more at a wizard's home as his apprentice. She's been jumping from town to town for the last 10 years.

Magic: Blood magic (a chaotic counterpart to nature magic, the generic healing/life force magic, discriminated against even amongst magic users and subject to a witch hunt a few hundred years back. She can sacrifice life force to open portals into a doomed realm to draw on its chaotic power)

Inspiration: Jean Grey (X-men, Dark Phoenix), Katarina (League of Legends), and eventually Violet (Arcane)

Having escaped the Empire raid on their village, Violet and her friends fled to the same nearby town as William did, but they did not know they had an ally there. One of the girls' parents lived there, so they spent the night there, but were attacked by assassins hired by the Empire (Kody's later estranged father). Only Violet managed to escape, and spent a few years homeless. A wizard took her in, so for a few years, she had a teacher and a home. It all ended bad however when he figured out her magic was blood magic, and she was forced to flee yet again. Thoroughly traumatized and with an unhealthy lack of trust in people, she acquired a daemon (symbiotic dark spirit feeding off of her emotions, acting as a permanent companion and occasional protector), and has been spending her time in random places for as long as people will have her. Meeting her long-thought-dead brother was a bit of a shock for her, and she's got some enemies to take care of.

On my Twitter, I've created an archive of the old scrapped Vast Error Dancestors, took about 4-5 days to get everything before I was satisfied.

Happy to report, I got everything I was looking for.

By no means does this mean they are "coming back" or anything, I'm just archiving the original designs for art purposes.

The vast error team heavily encourages you create your own fan Dancestors.

When is Bo-Katan Week going to be this year? I'm super excited!

Hi and welcome back! I'm so glad to hear it!! 💙

Since the third week in August has seemed to work so well for us in the past, I figured we'd keep with tradition and set it for the same time again this year.

So here's everyone's official notice to mark your calendars for August 14-20 for Bo-Katan Week 2023!!

And expect prompt submissions to open this weekend! (I'll make a separate post about that very soon)
