#character lore.

[oftw0tongues]

how does each muse fit into the lore ? if you're following my other blogs for this world-build (i'm insane), it might not be apparent how they all fit together because my thoughts and posts are never cohesive / always a jumbled mess. so ! here's a very basic breakdown until i get a carrd together.

meath was an expansive kingdom located south of the often frigid kingdom known as oriel; north east of the valley of the dragons; east of the ever-broadening loston empire. set along phantom bay and the black sea (it's island territory, a strategic militant base, not pictured) - it was a staple alliance in a trading network that well beyond the loston empire, it's ports serving as an import spot for continents across the black sea. while primarily known as an exporter of violence, given its occupied territories across continent to call upon for fighting forces, its lesser known export is the pearl eye ... a fish considered a delicacy primarily found in phantom bay.

his esteemed majesty, king goibniu naïlo and his fair lady queen, her majesty queen estelle naïlo from the loston empire, sat as the ruling monarchs of meath through the age of warfare after his majesty's father and older brother were killed during a distant conflict. together, they had five children ... the sixth of their status born of mistress (child taken as if of sole royal blood on the grounds that her mother be sent back to oriel): crown prince cahir, princess cadhla, princess aoibheann, princess deirdre, princess neila, and prince uillend. out of the six children, the only ones deemed unfit for throne on a hushed level were princess deirdre (the daughter of mistress) and prince uillend (who had been born "considerably frail", plagued with chronic pain and illness, often unable to join the fighting front. he was instead given the former kingdom of suidora ... a meath occupied territory above the loston empire where it was believed he would be relatively safe, healthy, and welcome amongst empire indebted to kingdom).

each child had their own role to play in the grand scheme of things. often married to noble houses to strengthen the oversight of occupied territories, there was never a particular race to the crown. given the comfortable and often free existence of the five children beyond crown prince, the notion of power-struggles seemed vastly unwelcome.

THE CROWN PRINCE, cahir naïlo ... considered the main character of sorts in this story. believed to be the sitting symbol of kingdom, a prince moonlighting as king for father dying. his petulance for combat and military prowess makes him a treasured ally and feared foe; many believe he has been blessed by war god in ways well beyond the simple favor of family, and that alone is why he was reincarnated within a time frame in which he could resume his position as rightful heir to throne. while he did not favor being a diplomat, historians had no qualms with recording him as a smooth-talking, charming prince. he was noted to be in an arranged marriage with the princess of oriel, and while there was no romantic love there, they were quite well-adjusted friends who " shared a sense of duty " to respected families regardless of personal feelings.

THE KING'S GUARD, eithne mournbow - a testament to the openness of kingdom ideals in a time when surrounding territories (beyond the matriarchal society of oriel) often frowned upon or banned women from knighthood; she followed in the footsteps of her own father, taking up the sword to defend the crown whenever and wherever she was called upon. with mouth and whit often sharp as blade, she would eventually come to be largely illustrated as a angelic figure over the guards who worked beneath her due to her tenacity and prowess in combat.

THE WAR HORSE, killian mournbow - the older brother of eithne and right hand of crown prince; killian came into what would be damn near sainthood from a young age. his memory of former life serving war god returned well before his hundred birthday, a vast rarity among elves, and it was believed that such was divine premonition of where he belonged. a well-armored figure often flanking crown prince, killian is meant to be both an additional blade and a religious voice of reason for decision making, those in his position meant to check royal family members and remind them that their loyalty to god and pantheon comes well before their loyalty to their own gain.

THE SON OF MOON, anluan liarie - the left hand of king and " courtier of the moon " (advisor to second prince). a champion from the loston empire, the brother to seer (someone blessed / cursed with visions of whats to come), and vastly loved son ... anluan was essentially given to meath as a good-will token with the rebirth of cahir some one hundred-odd years after the crown prince died liberating the region. he was a well-acclaimed swordsman and often the first to take challenge on the offhand chance that meath was invited to partake in tournaments (tournaments, as they were, were considered disgraceful to knights - however, it was in tenants of served god not to turn down a good fight). he would later be felled when struck through eye / helm by arrow, killing him instantly. by the time he was reincarnated, the kingdom was long gone.

THE SORCERESS, merla sastry - a war mage from oriel who sat once as a lady in waiting to princess ordella (cahir's wife), only to later serve as both an advisor to sole queen and matriarch over church of demise. an eerily beautiful woman who once brought about the downfall of kingdom due to the sitting prince's refusal to accept her hand in arranged marriage. her advisory to queen ended fifty years after the fall of meath, when queen was killed by her son who wished to take throne well before his time. when faced with the prospect of execution, merla simply scoffed at the new king. eventually, she leaves oriel and becomes the witch of the woods; a being described as a hideous hag who prayed upon weeping maidens and children, using their blood for potions and powers. it tends to keep unwanted visitors away.

THE CROW, brom dhalmiriy - a knight from oriel and servant of the goddess theone. taken as a young boy from a particularly cruel estate of lands conquered by oriel and meath, brom was essentially projected from stable boy to knight by a newly adoptive father who believed his use more fitting for blade despite being almost completely blind in one eye (he can see shifts in light and shadows, primarily). a fearsome fighter, he is said to bring swarms of crows with him, the extension of goddess who fed from the corpses of felled enemies to her cause. once a lover to killian, brom would end up leaving kingdom after queen was beheaded in throne room by son ... choosing instead to travel continent as an unaffiliated blade seeking to do only what satiates his war monger goddess.

Season's greetings, dearest goblinfam! Wishing each and every one of you a wonderful holiday season. ✨️

Be sure to check your pinecones for pinecone sprites, and your chimneys, fireplaces and stovetops for soot wyrms!

Pinecone sprites, as their names suggest, are only found in pinecones. These ghostly lil' creatures are mostly dormant throughout the year, and only emerge from their pinecone shelters during autumn and winter.

Soot wyrms are curious lil' critters which are commonly found in households, although you'll rarely see them apart from the tiny trails of soot they leave behind. They live in small groups and can be lured out with tiny pieces of coal, which they love snacking on. 🎄💖🎄

Fallen Angel Gabriel anyone?👀

More info under the cut

After his second defeat at the hands of V1, and having been stopped before killing the Council, Gabriel is condamned to a fate worse than death. Deprived of his holy light, he is now stuck in Hell as a Fallen Angel.

He can no longer fly and moves about aimlessly, dragging his wings along on the ground - like a constant, painful reminder of his failure.

He hunts V1 down with far more spite than before, seeking revenge. However, the chase is mutual, as the machine is also hunting him for blood. They battle whenever they meet but, despite his pitiful state, his instinct always forces him to flee before his ultimate elimination.

[Toon x Mobster] New character: the old guardian of the Huffman siblings! + LORE and COMICS

Sir. Wallace Kingsman. A retired hitman/boss in his late 80s who's a father figure to the Huffman siblings

He's rather old fashioned and stoic, only ever showing his much softer side towards the two kids, a few other close companions, and nobody else. He's both well-respected and feared by the people who knows him.

His stance on the relationship between the Toons and the Huffman siblings are vague. He does not reveal his true thoughts and feelings, only quietly observing them. However, by the end, he sees that being with the toons makes Gavriel and Grace happy so he chooses to just leave it be.

[Background Info and Comics:] (Warning: Injury, blood, dark topics.)

As little children, the Huffman siblings found Kingsman in the slums when the old gentleman was collapsed due to his injuries from a gunfight nearby.

Gavriel Huffman, accustomed to the violence, planned on leaving the dying man alone, not wanting to take the risk of potentially getting into trouble with his involvement. Grace was able to [hesitantly] change his mind due to her persistent begging to save the old man.

(7eleven background drawn by @meiitenn) Gavriel Huffman during this time was 16 years old, with Grace Huffman being 7 years old. Both children have no parents and they live on their own, alongside the poor/homeless population of the area they reside in.

After the Huffman siblings saved Sir Kingsman's life, he eventually gets well enough to leave on his own and come back later to repay the kindness that was shown to him by the people of the slums, especially the Huffman siblings.

He takes the Huffman siblings under his wing and raised them as his own where they grew to become elite members of their organization through their unexpected talent and incredible hard work.

The three initially did not consider each other as family, more like friendly acquaintances. However, there were signs of their relationship developing to that route, which accelerated after a particular accident happened.

They only ever referred to each other with formality. This was the first time they've called each other familial terms.

Grace Huffman, upset at having experienced such a harrowing event, swore to become stronger so her old brother doesn't have to get hurt protecting her anymore.

[oftw0tongues]

" before their claim to the throne, house naïlo stood as one of four pillars of governing body ... nobility in return for military prowess - often referred to as the king's fighting dogs. usurpers, dragon slayers, war mongers: the monarchy's might. in retrospect, it was both common & expected each generation to not only take up arms, but demonstrate proficiency. this pruned parts of the family tree down to nearly nothing, but much to the amusement of sitting king, they'd always found a way to grow back. "
