My main family for what will eventually be my new pack playthrough once I do all the setup.... completely vanilla for now! can u guess the sibling order

Caliban Dalca II: Esteemed horror author Caliban Dalca once claimed he was stalked by death itself, which fueled his terror-inducing, stomach-turning, heart-wrenching page-turners. While expecting death at any corner, he's reached an old enough age to go grey, casting doubt on his constant near-death claims. Until death makes itself more formally known, Caliban has said he will continue to write that which haunts his every waking moment and devours his dreams. He also teaches Language and Literature at his alma mater, Britechester, in between his dramatics. Gloomy, Paranoid, Macabre, Chased by Death

Damian Felix Dalca: After the death of his mother, Lydia, Damian's attitude towards the world soured, and he began acting out. He left home as soon as he turned 18, beginning a series of ups and downs in his career and relationships that matched his ever-shifting moods. After a particularly devastating breakup, he's started to put real effort into fixing his life and finally became a lawyer. However, with his track record, will it all last? Mean, Bookworm, Skeptical, Noncommittal

Darius Lucian Dalca: Darius was forever changed by the early death of his mother and the loss of the younger sibling he so looked forward to greeting into the world. He spent much of his adolescence working through this grief, as well as complex thoughts about life and death. Following after his Grandfather in a way, he now works as a funeral director and runs his own coffin shop, albeit with a much more charitable lean. He is soft-spoken and nervous, and longs for a partner to share his life with; but he's not even sure how he manages to keep himself composed around his clients, and turns out being in the funeral business leads to a lot of dead ends romantically. Gloomy, Socially Awkward, Practice Makes Perfect

Bianca Valentina Dalca: Ever since she was young Bianca has been rather sensitive. It wasn't uncommon to catch her conversing with seemingly nothing, and when visiting her grandfather's grave as a child she would always wander off in the cemetery on mysterious adventures, picking flowers for neglected graves and following around people she claimed vanished into thin air. As an adult, she's taken after her father's love of reading and writing, and her mother's love of music, becoming a fairly competent pianist with the help of her maternal grandmother Dumitra. But despite all the conventional options laid out for her, she can't help but to feel she has a higher purpose to serve. Bookworm, Loner, Macabre

Character Profile: Aurora

Full Name:  Aurora Ruxandra Dalca Kingdom: Remisos Generation: 4

*Art by the awesome @harchibudytgorichi

Aurora is the second child of Darius and Yuli. As the middle child of the Dalca Clan, she is constantly running off to do her own thing regardless of her elder sister’s plans. She is known for having a warm and bubbly personality. She becomes one of the welcomers of the Kingdom, serving as the nighttime face of the kingdom to visitors. She is loud and rambunctious, pranking younger servants to pass the time. She, like her sister, enjoys her new kingdom but misses her parents terribly.

Calliope • Wit

-----------

Them(tm) but older. She def idolizes her older brother to some extent so he tries not to be a terrible (read: murder-y) influence, but she definitely picked up on his bitchiness.

A shame I can't smooch Miss Dalca!

Who said that

Game where you are a teacher smooching other teachers when......

(this is actually on my maybe-to-do-one-day list: when I was coming up with Honor Bound I had a game idea about helping run a school in Jezhan that almost but didn't quite make it onto the shortlist)

[arcaneastrolabe]

Dalca Adaar

[dawnbatkmt]

This is Stef, he's a doctor in his mid-40s from before the bombs dropped.

He's "legally" married to Beckett, carries out erratic experiments, has a fondness for energy guns and runs a rickety Mothman themed bar and grill in the middle of a swamp. ( His life was saved by the Mothman on his first night outside the Vault. )

[rollforarcana]

Malice Dalca

This sorcerer, bard, and criminal, over the course of years, slowly became a hero, then lost that status in an instant.

In the midst of an important battle, he sought revenge on a party member that prevented him from saving his mother's life. While he could see and prevent future deaths, most didn't know of his gift. For years, he dealt with further social exile for what—to an outside observer—seemed an irrational act of violence out of nowhere. And after a final attempt to redeem himself by single-handedly defeating a would-be lich failed to sway opinions of him, he finally snapped.

The looted magic to become a monster tempted him, and he couldn't think of anything he had left to lose. With a powerful concoction of poisons and venoms, he'd finally become what everyone thought he was. Why not prove them right? Why not embrace the new name Malice? Hell, why not try to become a god?

OC POST!!!

Drawing Anansi again because I've become slightly fixated on him >_<

[theboarsbride]

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐖𝐨𝐨𝐝.🕯🦇✝️

Following a mysterious string of murdered livestock and a fellow nun in her isolated Romanian abbey, Sister Sorina, a young, faithless nun, is dared to seek the truth behind this perpetrator - only to be confronted by a sinister creature that makes her question the abbey's faith, the local village's pagan beliefs, superstition, and herself.

Some of Felix’s early concept art

My dapper boi I need to draw you with your mysterious and cool mask more

[pandappuccino]

More stuff from the paper-and-marker-at-work gallery

First one's a random design that popped into my head. Second one is an OC I have had for so many years he's (yes, that is a he) gone through five billion revisions in both design and backstory

Character Profile: Narcissa

Full Name: Narcissa Oana Dalca Kingdom: Remisos Generation: 4

*Art by the awesome @harchibudytgorichi

Narcissa is the youngest of Darius and Yuli's children. As the youngest of her clan, she had the least amount of time with her parents. She appreciates the way the Remisos Kingdom treats her compared to the experimentation her family faced under the Avis Kingdom. Due to that, she grew resentful of humans, especially after learning of the genocides of the great vampyre clans. She is known for being cold and bitter toward humans, but around other vampyres she softens. She serves as a warrior, known for her bloodlust, fierceness and dirty fighting. She prefers to use her hands in battle rather than a weapon.

ok so I just read Dragonfall by LR Lam and I have FEELINGS so:

It was honestly pretty good! I’d say like a 6/10.

The world building was immaculate (the mc is genderfluid, as are most of the people in the country they live in). I loved loved loved that along with every other bit of worldbuilding. The history with the betrayal of the dragons and how they’re now considered gods felt very real in that sort of “victors tell the story and collective memory erases the parts that don’t fit it” way that we see in real life.

Some bits of the history of the world felt a bit info-dumpy, though, and I found the writing style a bit lacking. The characters were well-written, but I felt like they could have been developed better throughout the book. The romance was really well written and I really liked it, but some parts felt a bit shoe-horned.

Overall, it was pretty good and I can’t wait for the next and someone please please please read it and talk to me!
