#Yamikage

[grimmtells]

✦ 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞��𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞.

Yamikage is one of my favourite characters in the anime, so naturally he gets tossed in the "redesigned to perfectly fit my tastes" + extremely self-indulgent lore adjusments. Because if the scenarists won't care about him, I WILL ! ((More Info below !))

✦ 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰, 𝐘𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐬 ───

𝕭𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖘𝖍𝖆𝖉𝖔𝖜𝖘 Yabunreis are beings born from shadows and moonlight, only when the clock strikes midnight. They are assassins who possess powers that are to be feared. Their homeland, Evernight Star, is a planet casted in the shade of an everlasting night; and their capital is a large edo-style village located in a region called "Dimland". The village is the home of the Nichibotsu Clan, consisting of only yabunrei assassins. Other such villagers are nocturnal inhabitants of Evernight star, including bioluminescent cappies ! Yamikage is almost the perfect default of a yabunrei. They always have white hair, strangely textured, ashy purple-y skin of varying tones depending on the person, and usually, stark white eyes with no pupils. Yamikage's are red. They all dress in dark blue clothes. and silent chain mail.

✦ 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 ───────────

As unmatched assassins, yabunreis are highly prized mercenaries. Many people from all planets travel far and wide to Evernight Star in order to pay for their services. The village’s riches stem from the Nichibotsu Clan’s work across space, taking care of whichever target their visitor wanted them to. They are neutral and do not care for the agendas of whoever pays them. The Nichibotsu Clan was sought out by King Arthur when the war against Nightmare broke out. He offered no monetary compensation, but a promise on his honour as king that Fable Star, his kingdom, would ally themselves with them if Evernight Star ever came to face extraterrestrial peril. As the threat that Nightmare posed would also affect their side of the galaxy, the yabunreis accepted. While they did not all go, they sent a generous number of assassins to the GSA.  The yabunreis that took part in the war are currently located in Nightmare’s fortress after betraying the GSA, and sent out on different planets to carry out assassinations for HNM.

✦ 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 ───────────

Yabunreis are inherently linked to the moon, night, the shadows cast during that time and the Arts of Ninjutsu. Their abilities include :

((Most basically lifted from Aragami 1 and 2, my biggest inspiration for this lore))

✦ 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ───

Yabunreis don’t evaporate or turn to dust in the sunlight, but not only does it weaken them, it renders all their abilities unusable. To put it simply, yabunreis are only regular ninjas in broad daylight. While their physical prowess remains formidable, they become a much lesser threat than if it was nighttime.

✦ 𝐎𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 ──────

When a yabunrei is born during a lunar eclipse, their eyes are red, unlike their kin whose eyes are completely white. It’s a testament to their link to the Blood Moon, a symbol of high power and an omen of greatness in the eyes of the Nichibotsu Clan. Only two Yabunreis were born during a lunar eclipse : The former deceased leader of the Clan, Shokukage, and the current leader, Yamikage.

+ Some random doodles I was too lazy to finish

Here he is, in his twice widowed, 5 times divorced glory

I really like the idea of Yami's species being basically dark matter lite (tm) with a dash of hounds of Tindalos because why not

In my aniverse he was the leader of the ninja division in the GSA until he decided he didn't like Arthur's vibes leadership skills (taking like 80% of the entire division with him).

🌟 Legacy of Light coming to Tumblr! 🌟

HELLLO EVERYBODY

Here to make an announcement >w< My poll a while ago for shows you want to have my stories here on Tumblr too, and not just DeviantArt! I am proud to announce that my Kirby fan series, Legacy of Light, will be going live on Tumblr!

It will start with my prequel story, Book 2, called “A Knight’s Awakening.” It is a coming-of-age story for Meta Knight’s life prior to his journey as a Star Warrior, growing up from his childhood and into something more, and learning about his skills and those around him. It sets the stage to how his heart leads him to the stars and where he is today! This story is already complete, and will be released on January 1st!

The next story, which is currently under revision, is Book 3, “Tale of a Star Warrior.” Acting as the second part to A Knight’s Awakening, this begins Meta Knight’s story as a soldier, defending the galaxy, facing the struggles of leaving his past behind, and fighting an identity crisis. This is all in the realm we are familiar with from the anime; the war of the Galaxy Soldier Army versus Nightmare! Unless I fall behind on production, Tale of a Star Warrior will come March 23, the anniversary date of Legacy of Light! (and Meta Knight himself, huhhh what a coincidence…)

SO MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The artwork included today is a celebration poster from March 23 this year! Can’t wait to get things started, and I hope you are excited, too!

Please do not trace, recolor, edit, or repost my art without permission, even if you are planning to give me proper credit!

and my favorite screenshots:

[winged-eggers]

It's the man the myth the legend Sir... Arthur? Othur? Which of these several IDs that came tumbling out of his pockets is real

He's not a fighter by any means; his skills lie in Talking, Handling Resources, and Scheming Strategy. If the general public found out his real personality it would make this job of Talking much more difficult and potentially make the entire rest of the GSA look bad. So. You'll keep quiet, right. Right

[lavenderbirchtrees]

There is just no winning with this guy

[sticker-star4]

Unfortunately Hoshi No Kaabii still doesn’t have a remake yet, but what if it did?

Here’s a bingo card I made just in case a remake comes out:

What do you guys think should be added if Kirby had a remake?

Galaxy Soldier Army Stained Glass Fanart

Y’all girl is back after being gone almost 2 in the half months as a comeback and I’m still alive >:D

So a little long story about the stained glass well... I was inspired by those inspiration from Kingdom Hearts where I used to play as a kid...So I had a vision of what will the GSA knights look like as stained glass

Left side are Nonsurat as she sings looks like praying, Arthur reaching the star has really got me

Right side where I added broken glass for

Yamikage cuz he left plus the troopers I only add five of them and added Kirby in the middle

Falspar be making two peace sign though I did try to find his background as punk edgy look, Dragato with mechanic look, Garlude kinda matching her gem stone on her head and Jecra as sunset background ^o^

(early this year I made this artwork that I had a vision or what will look like in own my eyes and I completely forgot about that artwork and almost gave up on this masterpiece cuz I was busy at work irl, art block and plus doing other artwork also I got this sketch out and lineart during break time during work. Forgive me for the wait and I apologize for that cuz due to work and irl stuff. Though I tried to put the two pictures together by collage it but didn’t work :0 )

✦ Son of 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞, the galaxy's most renowned mage, Ozwald serves wizardkind as their current Grand Magister ever since the passing of his mother. Weilding her staff to carry on her legacy, it is his duty to preserve the Mastery of Magic and Alchemy. When the terrible 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞 threatened the peace of the galaxy, the wizards joined the GSA alongside the ninjas in their quest to stop this great crisis. They fought together for years, but that was until the sudden treachery of the ninjas. The warriors of the shadows defected to the side of Nightmare, which dwindled the GSA's numbers considerably. Still, as low as morale was, they carried on. However, the war took a definitive turning point when 𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞, the one responsible for the treason of the ninjas, snatched Ozwald away from the battlefield on the back of a fearsome dragon demon beast. Before the archmage disappeared, he called out to his kin and ordered them all to flee and never return. At this moment, none of them looked back, they listened to the orders of their archmage and deserted the battlefield, leaving the GSA behind. It was weeks later when Ozwald was seen again, but it was too late then ; he had fallen victim to Nightmare's influence. Many years after the Great War, on a faraway planet called Popstar, King Dedede noticed that 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐛𝐲 seemed very confused about the magic tricks Tuff was performing. Without skipping a beat, he used his downloading system bought from Holy Nightmare Enterprise and demanded their best magic user. Ozwald was sent through, and gave chase to Kirby. After a tough fight, the young Star Warrior managed to break Ozwald's trance, letting him finally return to his senses. Ever since, the archmage has been residing in Castle Dedede, occupying the vacant top of a tower.

✦ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 ───────────

• As unapproachable as he looks upfront, there is hardly sweeter than him. Ozwald is kind and patient, and he will engage in conversation with pretty much anyone, even Dedede. • While Ozwald believes that a certain degree of sterness is required to properly teach the youth, he also believes that being too harsh and demanding will not serve any purpose. He prefers to teach with rewards, and attempts to make any topic interesting to get the attention of easily distracted children like Tuff, who usually dislike learning "boring stuff". • Ozwald is extremely forgiving, perhaps to a fault, some might think. But he says himself that as a man who has committed one of the greatest sins against his comrades (abandoning them), he does not get the luxury to be critical of what is done to him. • Ozwald is very doting with children. He does not necessarily want a family of his own, but he does have a strong sense of paternality in him. • Old man rambles a lot. He's got a fondness for discussions around magic and any topics he enjoys, but quickly finds himself talking at length until he gets nervous that he might be bothering his interlocutor. • Ozwald has an easygoing sense of humour, while he does not hold grudges, he is not above using previous events as ammo to tease someone. • Ozwald gets quite competitive with games of any kind and events putting him against other people/teams. He's a bit of a sore loser, but he tries to hide it !

✦ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧 ────

(Will have a more in-depth post TBA) As stated above, the Mark of Merlin is the physical manifestation of Magic's acceptance of their new protector. The bearer of the Mark harnesses the Will of Magic and is extremely powerful. The bearer of the Mark possesses one very special ability that is only to be used as their utmost last resort if they haven't yet found their successor.

✦ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 ───

(will be moved to its own post soon enough) • Although some wizards make an exception of this, they typically live on the "Observatory", which is a huge academy/library-like structure that floats throughout space. Wizards as a society and not simply magic-using peoples are pretty private and keep to themselves. • Whilst a staff or wand are important to channel their magic, wizards that are comfortable and skilled enough with it can perform spells without a vessel, simply using their hands. Enunciating spells is, in most cases, mandatory, but simpler spells like practical ones to make things float can be performed non-verbally. • Most wands are made of metals like gold, silver, bronze and the like. Only Ozwald has a staff. • As was the duty of the late Merline, wizards continue to observe the cosmos and planets to make sure everything is in order. While they don't tend to intervene ever since the Great War, wizards will warn planets if danger is upon them. • Wizards come in all races, shapes and sizes, but the most common ones are simirrors and waddle doos. Ozwald himself is a simirror. • The Observatory has many protection wards around it, along with the ability to become completely transparent, hiding itself and the wizards inside it. • The Observatory is capable of creating dimentional rifts to fast-travel around the galaxy. Ever since the Great War, wizards have been very careful about using this travel method, as dimentional rifts cause a very high, dense residual activity around the targeted areas, which can easily alert Nightmare of their location since he currently has dominion over most of the galaxy. • Merline is the original architect and creator of the Observatory. It was created as both a safe haven for wizards, but a place to protect the Knowledge and Mastery of Magic from falling into the wrong hands. It was her domain of planetary surveillance as well, when she used to watch over the cosmos on her own.

✦ 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 ────

Ozwald is around four kirbies tall.

✦ 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 ────────────

• His birthdate is December 25th (12/25) • Ozwald has a younger sister, her name is Winnie (Link to her ref TBA). • He has backpains, because Old. He gets very cranky when they start acting up. • He's a tea-drinker over coffee all the way. • He loves playing boardgames ! Always a good time between friends. • He's got quite the astrology/astronomy knowledge. • Ozwald is very adept at Offensive magic and Defensive magic, but also Supportive magic. During the Great War against Nightmare, him and most wizards were very important assets of the GSA, able to ward of most demon beasts, aside from those with magic resistance. • Ozwald and wizards as a whole do not really have mana. However, using magic, especially strong spells, for long periods of time can tire and wear them out. Ozwald can perform staffless magic. • His staff, formerly his mother's, is made of enchanted, pitch black wood with golden weaving all across that cannot seem to be found anywhere. • He only has one eye ; he lost his other eye during the war after a certain treacherous ninja threw a kunai at him. He tends to hide it from people who aren't used to "gore", not to mention that he feels it to be a tad unsightly. If he feels comfortable enough with someone though, he may unhide his scar.

all Yamikage asked for was a normal breakfast for once

🍁 fall time relaxation for my boyfriend 🍁

My warcrime homicidal villain boyfriend deserves a nap in soft moss and warm autumn sunshine ^w^ Based on the song October, I played in orchestra back when I was still a cellist! Second time I used this song for artistic inspo, lolll

Testing some of my unused brushes! I would have finished this last month if it weren’t for a nasty carpal tunnel flare… Yeahhhh I am finally considering getting surgery for it, it has been so bothersome for years. Next spring, maybe, my sister is getting married in February! *happy and proud sobbing she is my favorite irl idiot*
