Yapping about the personalities of the two leaders of the GN bases (mostly on kai because amelia's fairly straightforward)

Spoiler Warning on Commodore Kai and Rear Admiral Amelia

Rear Admiral Amelia is really adamant about bringing peace, justice and security to the Empire the Grand Navy from her dialogue, e.g.

"I'll crush you like the criminal scum you are!"

"I'll never see the War Seas know peace..." -> Something something being brought up as a weapon (probably, having an extremely rare lost magic means that she might be scouted and was raised since she was young to be a mage), only ever knowing war, fighting for an ideal you're not even sure exists

"The War Seas would be better off without scum like you!" -> Kind of cliche but damn she really hates criminals

"I'll have to show you your place!" -> She knows she the GOAT

with the hatred towards criminals and the exclamation marks... She's the textbook GN officer with a capital G, with a strong sense of justice and the power to uphold it. You can feel her drive just from her words. Like her gravity magic, she's the ground of which everything stands on, the centre, the apex of calm of a storm; while everything spirals around her, ripped and torn apart, she remains as the GN's bastion.

But Commodore Kai...

His dialogue exudes indifference, and even exhaustion, even. No exclamations, just a lot of ellipses. It's like he's sighing as he watches you break in and try to barrel explosion cheese him... Again.

“You shouldn’t be here… Begone from my sight.” “What brings you here, criminal? Surely you aren’t foolish enough to invade a Navy base without good reason…”

“You managed to get past the guards, I see… I’ll have to kill you myself.” -> This line really brings out the 'duelist' aspect in him or even with a slight hint of sadism and entitlement that Asyn minibosses or even Order of Aesir members usually have in their dialogue but this is all just speculation

Combined with his extremely suspicious dialogue (Whether you interpret it as him having connections with the Order or Asyn or anything else)

“I wonder, did you know my secret, or was killing me a mere coincidence…” “It seems I’ve failed my duty… End me now, or they surely will.”

It's giving a guy who has seen too much. He's tired of dealing with the GN's shit. He's not getting any younger but he still can hold off his own, but he knows the enemies he's amassed in his youth are closing in on him. And he might not survive this time. He's tired and he's slipping out of his prime. It's giving he knows he won't have much time left.

I might have another yap session on what if Commodore Kai is an Asyn spy because he's just so interesting even if his characterization is literally cardboard. So yeah.

Might make a lil post of antero lore if i remember

Arcane odyssey spoilers ahead

Things to remind myself

Army dreamers

"Aesir Stealers" (or aesir dreamers idk)

Itd be the chorus of the song

...

Dont think his mom was weak, but the order was stronger.

Her name was Sybil Baneblood

Antero's last name comes from his dead father.

[p7agu3]

this is kinda cute

[itsradiogoblin]

so like if King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are canon to Arcane Odyssey does that mean...

[lostglassguitars]

Morden from Arcane Odyssey is a funny character because one moment he’s like “I’m going to go be alone. And do things alone. goodbye.” and then the next time I see him I’m in Sailor’s Lodge and he’s clinging to me and saying we should do missions together like there is no tomorrow.

[crowrave]

I have some minor headcanons when it comes to Arcane Odyssey:

Includes some slight spoilers because it’s mostly based off of observations in the game’s lore/storyline

1. Considering how it is mentioned that the Assassin Syndicate has occasionally worked for the Grand Navy, that sometimes navy captains are ordered to search for assassin ships and have specific signals to signify they need a job done.

2. Morden, Tucker, and the Player presumably live in the Bronze Sea specifically; Morden tells you to go to Redwake at the start of the storyline and supposedly has knowledge of kingdoms and towns in this specific season.

3. When Poseidon refers to the player as a ‘Legacy’ I’m assuming that means we are a descendant of him or one of the other gods. It would explains how throughout the storyline; the characters you interact with either speak of you as if you are almost inhuman, or that classic ‘what are you?’ question.

4. Considering how the Dark Sea has resulted in Atlanteans and such, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say that the player may be slightly altered in a way with how often they go there. (This varies from player to player, but I personally go there often for sealed chests).

5. Neviro likely hadn’t trained much after surviving the mass murder of Winterveil, considering how quickly he was beat by King Calvus.

6. Iris feels guilt or shame for not being able to save her father from being killed, with her entire goal being to rescue her father from Ravenna.

7. Prince Revon is fruity and no one can tell me otherwise

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

[strat0sfear]

No bossfight at the end of Chapter 7 thank god 🙏

[conteststarribbon]

freaking out over this

[invokedeliverance]

YES I AM BEYOND INFURIATED, THIS BOSS IS SO HARD I KEEP GETTING ONE SHOT LIKE WHAT THE HELL DUDE THAT'S NOT EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST FUNNY STOP WHY I CAN'T MANAGE TO DEFEAT HIM I WANT TO PROGRESS THE GODDAMN STORY

[gelatinorifice]

JORDAN EXPLAIN GEO REN OC TAG

https://www.tumblr.com/gelatinorifice/725701933562773504?source=share

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ABOUT GEO REN'S CHARACTER

WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT!!!!

(This is the post in question)

THIS WAS MOSTLY A “This is SO them” KINDA TAG AND NOT A “This is canon to their backstory” KINDA THING TBH…ITS STILL VERY IN DEVELOPMENT (especially cuz arcane odyssey’s story is still in development and currently cuts off on a cliffhanger so we still don’t rly know everything). HOWEVER they are a VERY stubborn person who refuses to back out of a fight they clearly can’t win so this is ABSOLUTELY something they would do. They also care very much about their friends and would do absolutely anything to get them out of trouble. Including but not limited to infiltrating the castle of a noble land’s kingdom to free them from prison and then killing the corrupt king together. Typical friend activities :)

Just watched an interview about this upcoming movie, I wrote it down below for those interested!

'A feature film for the cinema, destined to the same public as Arcane, for adolescent and young adults.'

Penelope, Homer's penelope, it's her origin story, [therefore] like a prequel of the Odyssey.

She's 17year old (she comes from Sparta) when she arrives in Athens in a school of heirs (all heirs of the Kingdom) and she is forced to go this place, because Athens domines the world in which the story is set.

Its not ancient Greece, [theyre still referring to mythology] but it's going to be a special world, with a modern touch [brought by Fortiche ], so it's a bit of science fiction, parallel world, fantasy.

So she arrives at this school, and she's not like the other heirs, (including Achilles, Agamemnon, Helen and Odysseus ) : she has a secret mission that her father gave her, because Sparta is under a bit of an embargo, dominated by Athens ( which is imperialist) and Penelope must come to this school to free her people.

She has this big mission, so she is much more serious (her personality)

We are going to move from a more comedy film, a teenage film, [in fact a school story] and in the 2nd half, the tone of the film will shift, toward a more adventurous, more epic movie.

They will have to team up, Odysseys and Penelope, to be able to fight a threat, [that we cant talk about now, because it would be a spoiler for the film]

'We're summing it up this way: an Epic Coming of Age story. '

drawing my Arcane Odyssey save files! (Part 1)

This is Nova Banks! I don't remember much about how I played as her, but considering I definitely didn't play as a hero in World of Magic (which is when I made this save file), and she doesn't have any bounty unlike my 2nd save file, I've decided to portay her as more neutral. Since she's my oldest save file, I've decided to make her in her early-mid 20's. She's level-headed, and I like to think that she's had to put up with my 2nd file's bullshit this entire time, while Ellis (you know him, he's all over my blog, and he's the 3rd file!) is off saving the world from the O of A (abbreviated to prevent AO story spoilers). The reason why it's only her in the photo and my 2nd file is cut off, is cuz you can clearly see that I have not gotten around to shading them yet.

Both Nova and my 2nd file are from World of Magic, while Ellis is from Arcane Odyssey.

Anyway, I'm gonna go pass tf out and tomorrow I'll start preparing for finals.

Wish me luck on my finals, ig?

So I've finished all the story quests in Arcane Odyssey, and with that I've re-drafted up Ailyn's lore as well as how she met the crew. Potential spoilers for the Ravenna arc, you have been warned if you haven't finished it yet. Putting it down in a readmore just to be safe

I'll start with the lore behind Ailyn's family first. She's descended from Athena, via Erichthonios - a mortal whom the goddess adopted as her own child and personally tutored in the art of war after she had stumbled upon him half-buried in the earth as a newborn. Under her tutelage and blessings, Erichthonios would later become a legendary warrior-mage during the age of the magic wars, back when Ancient Greece was at its peak. And out of gratitude for Athena, he and his descendants became devout worshipers of the virgin goddess.

Adding on to that, Erichthonios himself was a direct if distant descendant of Zeus. It was through their descent from Zeus that the family line acquired a fraction of the god's powers in the form of Lightning magic, something that would manifest in almost every member born into this bloodline, although it also resulted in a peculiar quirk where they would exhibit two magical affinities: the primary one being Lightning, and the other their natural magical affinity influenced by their inherent natures.

For centuries, Erichthonios and his descendants were a powerful noble family, holding immense influence over the War Seas... but one day the noble house mysteriously collapsed, leaving not a single trace of their existence in the wake of their disappearance and were eventually forgotten to time. However, there are survivors who bear this lineage and had scattered to the winds to preserve their lives; Ailyn's specific bloodline ended up fleeing to a tiny remote island village (so small that it could not be found on maps) that would later be subjugated under the reign of the Ravenna Realm and become one of its many colonies.

Currently her family is no more than peasants, although they still possess an ancient artifacts - one dating back to when the family was once powerful and influential - which served as the family heirlooms. It was a set of bronze spear and shield, said to be gifts bestowed upon their ancestor Erichthonios by Athena in the age of the magic wars. Now it was of no use to the peasant family, its descendants having forgotten its true value, but they were still faintly aware of its importance and kept it within the family for generations.

Now back to Ailyn. She is born on 3rd February 1836 as the eldest of three children, on a remote island village under Ravenna. Her family were quite poor, making ends meet through fishing and offering their services as weavers and alchemists. Even as a child, Ailyn longed to see the outside world, having grown restless from the predictable village life. Something her parents would eventually notice.

Thus on her sixteenth birthday, her parents passed down the family heirlooms to her and their blessing for her to leave the island to walk her own path. And ecstatic, Ailyn immediately left the village by hitching a ride on a passing merchant ship, heading first to Ravenna where she later enlisted into the Bronze Legion.

She served in the Bronze Legion for two years, quickly rising up the ranks and eventually becoming a Legionnaire thanks to her diligence and competence. However, that all came to an end one day when she received a command to siege a suspected rebel base and lay waste to it. At first, she didn't think much of it, having heard it was some remote island... only to realise in horror that it was her home village that the royal family had ordered her to destroy without mercy. And by then, it was too late for her to save anyone...

Disgusted and horrified by what she had done, she deserted the Bronze Legion and attempted to flee Ravenna, only to be caught and detained as someone who she thought as a friend tipped the Bronze Legion off about her plans to desert as they were jealous of her for being able to climb up the ranks so quickly. Ailyn was originally to be sentenced to the Eternal Mines if it weren't for a high lord of the Order taking an interest in her after sensing a peculiar magic in her. Intrigued, they had her be shipped off to serve as the Order's newest experiment subject instead, believing her to be useful in fulfilling the Order's goals.

It was there that she met the rest of the experiments crew (i.e Raju, Acelia, Ambrosia and Reiko). However, at that point, she was still badly in shock from the drastic turn of events that had occurred not too long ago, and was almost unresponsive to anyone whenever they attempted to talk to her beyond simple nonverbal communication. Ailyn spent around a year in the Order's clutches as an experiment subject before escaping with the crew, but she parted ways with them shortly after they woke up on Dawn Island to track down the whereabouts of the family heirlooms she had lost after the Legion had confiscated them upon her detainment.

During ch1 and ch2, Ailyn became a mercenary and bounty hunter separate from the main crew, desperately searching for the heirlooms but to no avail. She was just about to call it quits when she unexpectedly ran into Raju at a tavern in Cirrus, who offered her a place in her crew after hearing that Ailyn had nowhere else to go. Seeing that she had no other choice, she accepted, even if she felt that Raju's kind offer was wasted on her... and the rest is history.

I still haven't figured out how Ailyn plays into the overall storyline with the crew, but if you guys see this I'd like to hear your thoughts on Ailyn!
