Bonus
I sketched a couple of "Candy" NPCs, but I can't really justify putting too much work into them since I know very few people would be interested in them compared to the main cast.
But, I wanted to share the Zam sketch because it is very "creature" to me.

FACTION SWAP AU - PLAYGROUND!!
WOO i am DONE!! also i only realised how tiny i drew katana compared to the other playgrounders while writing this, so i had to size him up and he still looks short compared to the others LMAO. guess he's like a midget in this au then /jk
this was probably the hardest bunch to design bc playground seemingly has no faction attire, and their faction isn't like Lost Temple where it is a desert so i have an idea of what to do.
all playground characters seem to just have streetwear or something casual soo i tried my best to do that (i love shuriken but he was INCREDIBLY hard to design and even now he may be my least favourite one)
katana's biker idea was suggested by a friend and i thought that was perfect because canon katana looks threatening in some way, and how else could i have carried that same vibe when he has to wear more casual clothes?
anyways yeah i am done with this au for now!! until the next phighter, that is. also if you guys want, you can ask me to doodle some npcs and their designs. no factionless people though (like the sfoths)

Every once in awhile I consider sitting down and drawing a bunch of (human) gw2 npcs from memory to kinda test myself on faces/bodies
but when I try I can't remember what any of their faces look like and, as we all know, the body types even for npcs are essentially like, 2-3 slightly altered variations each
(I could also make up body types as I go just because but 1- what would suit each npc I would draw? 2- that would just be inviting random people to yell at me because I drew their fave wrong and I do not have the energy for that)

I love when folks ask me Fandom Old questions and I get to be like "Yeah, uh, that's from my old online RP group, no it's not canon at all, yes we just made it up, no we did not claim it was canon but the mid to late aughts were a strange time."
It's honestly a shock to realize how often this has happened. I mentioned earlier that Reno's fanon surname came from this same group, but that's not even the half of it. I once made a bunch of screenshot manips based on the most ridiculous ships anyone could think of—someone slapped a random line of text onto one of them and to this day it's used as a "cringe FF7 fandom" meme. I saw it on the twits a bit back and almost fell out of my goddamn chair.
If you've ever heard Scarlet referred to with the surname "West," read about Tseng fighting with metal fans, seen Elena's older sister being called Anna instead of Emma, come across Vincent portrayed as having a PhD in spite of being a Turk, or caught references somewhere to Grimoire experimenting on Vincent as a child, that started with this group. That was us.
One of the funniest examples of this, for me specifically, is that we don't actually know which arm Veld is missing? The fandom generally goes with his left because that's how I drew him in the first picture of the guy ever posted on devart way back in 2005, but it may very well be his right. I've seen people offer "proof" that it's his right based on a scene in the opening cutscene, but you can't tell there either, and with BC's graphics there's literally no way to tell on his sprite.
Hell, this year we found out everyone's assumed timeline of the Kalm fire is wrong, and that's our fault too because we made some assumptions about Felicia's age for an LJ RP that were entirely wrong. She's around Zack's age, not Sephiroth's! She's old enough to run with a terrorist group in BC, but she was a child when Kalm burned, and that happened in 1997—we know this because NPCs in Rebirth literally refer to the fire in Kalm having happened "just ten years ago." Veld has only had his prosthetic for three years when BC starts. (This also implies that, contrary to popular belief, Veld may actually be younger than Vincent. Vincent may have been the senior partner, and that's why he was sent to Nibelheim alone while Veld was left at headquarters.)
We were really wrong on this! But we were working with what we had. There's no canon evidence for the vast majority of these things (the most notable exclusion here is Vincent being educated) but we weren't claiming there was. We were filling gaps, and canon was so sparse that we had a lot of gaps to fill. So if it turns out that Veld lost his right arm, then I'll just have to start drawing him that way—because losing his left was never canon.
Tragically, there's nothing any of us can do to make people stop assuming these things are canon at this point; there aren't a lot of us still in the fandom, and it's not like any of us have those old chatlogs anymore. People from this RP group have DIED since those days. It's been over 20 years since most of us met, and around 15 since most of us were in a public fannish space together.
"Prove it," people say, and I literally can't. Do you know how many computers I've been through since then? 75% of the platforms we used no longer exist. This all started on a BBCode forum! There is no proof!
But...there's no evidence any of these things are canon, either, so maybe think about that? The Kalm fire, Tseng's weapon of choice, Veld's arm, character surnames—none of these are retcons because there was no lore there to retcon. We made it up for our specific purposes, and it escaped containment in an era when there was really no way to do online contact tracing.
It's just one of the weirdest feelings in the world to see younger folk arguing about A or B point in canon, about X or Y retcon—referencing something my friends and I thought up at like 10 o'clock at night on a now-defunct IM client in August of 2005, because we needed something to refer back to for a specific scene in an RP and the source material had nothing to offer.
Absolutely fucking bonkers.

Devlog #133
Hi-ho, Wudge here.
Tumblr media
I plugged in a bunch of expressions for Warden! (Don't mind the... recording window I accidentally left in the middle of the screen, and the way his eyes randomly turn gray after GIF compressions.)
Special thanks to my Ko-Fi donors - the variety of faces this man makes would not exist without them!
This past week I also drew some additional expressions not featured here, but I'll be putting them up on Ko-Fi soon. And, totally no relation, here's a mood board I made as reference for myself:
Tumblr media
I also redrew an upcoming NPC, and put her into a test scene...
And I did a bit of writing and outlining. That's about it, I think!
Stay safe and keep warm,
Wudge.

Clove D&D Headcanons (Valorant)
Ok, Riot put D&D into Valorant with some of Clove’s voicelines.  As a resident Valorant and D&D nerd (I’ve DMed and played more than 20 different campaigns) I wrote some headcanons.  Please like, reblog, and comment if you enjoy!  
Tumblr media
Clove 
As the Dungeon Master, they are in control of the entire story.  Mostly...
The campaign setting is 100% Runeterra because let’s be honest, if League of Legends is canon in Valorant, then yeah D&D would be in that world too
Often meeting famous characters along the way
Currently the story is taking place against the backdrop of Piltover and Zaun fighting each other, which the party finds themselves in
The group is trying to keep the escalation low by keeping Runes from ending up in the hands of either side.  They have to balance this with their own allegiance to certain characters though
Clove’s own joy comes from writing the most fan-fic inspired story and injecting as much drama into it as possible.  Like they actively find the most dramatic way to resolve an arc
They always listen to podcasts that have campaigns.  Their favorite so far is called ‘Role a Crit’ which introduced them to the hobby 
Clove can surprisingly imitate accents despite theirs being nearly impossible to understand sometimes.  They slip into voices well too, lowering theirs to a growl or into a high pitched squeak
Has a number of playlists for battle music, fantasy ambience, and creepy sound effects for whenever they need it
They do have a character they played before joining Valorant though: a Sorcerer named Titania 
Clove keeps the character sheet and some art they drew of her in a shoebox along with some of her other belonging from her old life
Titania appears as a guiding presence for the party whenever the group needs direction or quick save.  She’s one of the favorite NPCs in the party
They revel in the moments the party realizes that there’s a huge twist or when they have a climactic battle.  The grin on their face is diabolical and hides how excited they are
Clove’s dice are from older editions and worn a bit from much use.  They have a set of dice in the colors of Non-Binary Flag they were gifted by a friend that they use most
They also have a comically large twenty sided die for boss battles too
Gekko 
He has Dizzy sit in his lap while he sips whatever he brought to the table
He’s playing a Vastaya druid called Raldo, that leads around a massive Flutterbug named “Tio” that he adopted from a nest
Every single time the group comes across some kind of animal, he is the first to try and adopt it
“Guys, we totally need to bring these little guys with us.  Think of how awesome Basilisks would be to ride into battle!”
He has a small entourage of critters everywhere he goes, which he constantly drops spells on to let them swarm everybody 
He’s played a ton with friends before, and has a bunch of dice left over from that.  He taught Neon how to build her character
As a result, he’s the first person she asks about rules and their characters started the game as a duo and stick together
Has Wingman there for fun and lets him roll his dice
Wingman has his own character in the game, courtesy of Gekko being bored one night.  It’s a simple Minion, and the group love him to death
Wingman is able to roll dice, but sticks to taking everyone’s shiny dice
This has become an ongoing issue, because Wingman likes shiny and will steal right from the table if allowed
Wings does have a character in the game.  A simple Minion that comes along with the party and just does follows 
Gekko’s dice are clear green and yellow resin dice, and plenty of marbling with shimmering resin
One of the designs on his skateboard is a Twenty Sided Die surrounded by runes and ‘Buena Suerte’ written underneath
Neon 
She’s playing a Fae Fawn ranger that is new to the world and has no idea what is going on.  She’s never played so her having no idea what’s happening is built in to her character
She named her character ‘Holly,’ after the flower because she thought it was nature-themed.  
Almost named her ‘Wreath’ but decided against it.  She had a long list of flower and nature inspired names 
Has the most unhinged plans whenever playing.  Like breaking into a fort by setting fire to the inside and blowing the drawbridge up when the guards run across
“Look we can see they’re excavating some powerful Rune.  We should just run in and grab it for ourselves and then kill them all with it right?” 
Once hit a Natural 20 to shoot a fleeing NPC with important information.  After she killed him she asked: “So did we win?  I rolled high so I think we did.”
Luckily Clove improvised that the NPC had some mysterious letter to account for the sudden shift
In the grand scheme of the story, her character has been tasked with finding out where her sister has been taken too by raiders.
Neon has the books loaded up on her phone at all times and still doesn’t get all the rules.  Gekko usually helps as well as Clove
Listens to some of ‘Role a Crit’ when she’s killing time on the treadmill.  She gossips with Clove about the latest episodes and fan theories
Neon always sort of thought the game was a bit too complex to learn.  She has since dropped the judgment and really embraced it now that she’s played
Her dice are on loan from Gekko and Clove.  A mixture shimmering teal and bright yellow sets
Neon is really getting into the community around it and some of the lore.  She mostly likes being able to talk about the game and have something in common with the others
Also bombs the chat with memes about the campaign and inside jokes
Phoenix 
A human bard but one with ties to a bunch of dragons that gave him training for magic in exchange for him entertaining them
He named his character Monte Gildedgrasp.  It’s a character he’s played in previous campaigns before
His instrument is a lute crafted with scales.  He has sound effects queued on his phone for when he uses it in the game 
Flirts with anything that moves, and sadly rolls high enough to get somewhere.  Then rolls so abysmally when he tries to commit to the bit
“You haven’t seen hot if you haven’t seen me.” he says to barmaid and has amazing charisma to back it up.  2 hours later he was robbed and stabbed by her 
“...not feeling as hot now…anyone got bandages?...”
When his character sings, he also sings and does an amazing job of it.  He already could freestyle, but doing in old English is a flex
Adds insults and mockery before rolling to attack enemies.  In Shakespearean style though so he can use some old theater skills
This man was lowkey ready to dress up but didn’t cause nobody else really would.  It’s their loss, he has a good sense for costuming 
Lends a hand to the party a lot.  His magic and healing spells come in clutch whenever the party needs it too
Clove fashioned a web of intrigue for his and Jett’s characters.  Phoenix’s dragon allies are going missing and Jett’s character may know who is causing it
It’s caused both of their characters to be slightly suspicious of another.  What’s even more fun is that both characters are also crushing on each other in spite of it
Phoenix is more than capable of giving a heart wrenching performance if needed.  When a distraught mother came to him, he delivered the most beautiful and comforting speech
His dice are on loan from Killjoy’s massive dice stash.  He picked them out himself, and promised not to singe them
A speckled rust and orange dice that have cracks of bright gold and numbers written in old Gothic font.  The numbers also glow in the dark too
Phoenix lives for the stage, so having a small outlet to act and sing a bit feels incredible for him
Jett 
Playing a human assassin that has been working her way towards a target that wronged her a long time ago
Her ex-employer is sort of the main villain.  A chem-baron that is killing magical creatures to make new weapons from their corpses
Jett’s character, Dysha, used to kill for that same chem-baron before leaving after realizing she felt guilt for the innocent lives she took
Clove loves dark backstories, so Jett is getting the full character angst and recovery treatment from NPCs and the Party
She will bluff and lie, and somehow manage to get her way because the roll is high enough.  It’s always for ridiculous lies though
“Yes I’m supposed to be in baron’s room after dark!  I’m his…uh mistress?  Why do I have a knife and have him tied up?  Uh… roleplay?...”
That incident is not to be brought up by the party unless they also want to die
She uses her character as an excuse to do things with friends in sort of a lowkey way.  Being able to cook some food and eat it together is main reason for coming
The fun story and in-jokes are a bonus
She is the second flirtiest after Phoenix’s character, and the two constantly have their characters flirt and have romantic moments
Phoenix’s character soon discovered she helped kill one of his draconic mentors in a twist orchestrated by Clove.  It was such a huge shock to the whole group
Jett and Phoenix flexed their acting skill by having the characters make up and agree to no more secrets between them.  Then they kissed (but insisted it was only performance)
Nobody believes them.  
Her dice are metal and come in a tin decorated with so many stickers.  She bought them at a comic shop in LA the younger agents visited once
Jett lives for dramatic stories about betrayal, love and misunderstanding so she’s dying to see where the campaign leads
Killjoy
She was the first person to tell Clove to try getting a group together at the protocol knowing full well it would work
She’s obviously played for a long time, and been entrenched in geek culture as a result
Yordle named Suza with a whole lot of Hextech gadgets.  She is smol and the group protects her like a little sister
Potentially deranged though, she invents insanely big guns and uses them for just about everything
Killjoy cackles in her character’s airy voice as she releases a bunch of dice into a box and counts the damage numbers 
Is the most versed with rules because she’s played the game forever, and leverages it constantly 
Places artillery and gives advice to the party for combating certain creatures they encounter.  Essentially she plays both for the characters and because she likes wargames
“I understand that we might not have access to modern technology, but we could easily use magic to fabricate the parts of a Nanoswarm and use magic to then animate it!”
Has done makeup based on her character and shown up in clothing matching the aesthetic of Suza.  She’s dedicated to fully embracing it
Has one really big artillery cannon she wheels around called the Krieg that the party can use once in a while.  She rolls a ton of dice for the damage it puts out 
She instantly calculates rolls as well, and has a bit of a habit of metagaming because of that because she’ll run odds 
Doesn’t let that get in the way of her story though
Her character had a bunch of her own blueprints stolen by some Zaunites and she aims to take them back before they build machines of war from them
Met Raze’s character by getting saved by her in the first session.  The two are inseparable in game and in real life
Total dice goblin, like has an entire bag filled with them buried in one of her drawers
Uses a mixture of dice from rare events and collections, 
Her favorite are some that Raze made from pouring resin into a mold and hydro dipping in yellow and orange
Killjoy is glad Clove has the campaign because meeting a fellow nerd is always great 
Raze 
She plays a buff Chirean named Pearl that was part of the Firelight gang before leaving on her own quest
Has a hoverboard because of this and wields a length of pipe covered in razor wire.  Has a scavenger vibe to her 
Shamelessly flirts with Killjoy’s character at the table, and the party is FOR IT
“Hey Suza, I could really use some repairs to my board.  Mind coming over to the garage and giving it a look?” said while leaning in to a blushing Killjoy
Surprisingly gets really into character, playing a stoic badass that has a chaotic streak  She lowers her voice and shifts her body language to match the vibe
Also her character has a tendency to put people into headlocks and bearhug them.  This is acted out in real life
Pearl is surprisingly the heart of the group and has a tendency to sit with the characters and talk things out with them 
She ended up helping with Dysha and Monte’s own falling out by supporting them both and holding them together after they made up
Never misses a chance in game to ram her hoverboard into someone and punch them in the jaw.  She has a collection of gold teeth she’s knocked from other people
Her character introduced herself by nearly breaking Gekko’s wrist in an armwrestling competition
Draws all of the characters at one point in her free time.  The art caused so much hype when she unveiled it at the session
Her character is a bruiser, but a bruiser with a heart and a wish to see the world she knows become better
Raze’s own dice are partially on loan from Killjoy’s massive collection which happen to be her favorites
They are an assortment of dice that make a rainbow, each one being a different color and transparency
Killjoy taught her to play over the course of a few sessions with the group and the two sit together at the table because Raze would always want some help
It’s stayed that way for obvious reasons
Yoru
Was begged to join, and eventually relented for a few weeks before leaving and agreeing only to come back at the end of the campaign
He’s playing as a Voidborn swordsman, specifically inspired by old Samurai movies.  Yoru didn’t care about making a character but just took a pregenerated one off of Clove
Turns out, Clove knew how make a character Yoru didn’t hate playing.  Especially cause she gave him a cool backstory 
His character, Tets’ Uya, is the banished leader of an army of Voidborn.  After regaining some more power, he will get revenge for his banishment
Raze and Him frequently go on rampages in combat because that’s his favorite thing to do.  He usually finishes off enemies, so he gets to describe how he kills them
“I take the pirate captain by the throat and hold him over the ocean.  Tets’ Uya whispers, ‘you’ll do better as a corpse than as a captain,’ then he drops him in.”
Sick moments like that, especially because Yoru leans into the intimidation his character has and has the group back him up
Even though he sometimes gets bored out of his mind waiting for a turn, he pays enough attention while checking something else
After a while his character left the group because Yoru was done.  He returned his dice back to Clove and started a project in the garage 
A couple weeks later during a climactic battle between some Celestials and Zaunites, Yoru showed up with his character to back the group up for the final showdown
Clove went to hand him his dice, but he instead pulled out a tin of dice he bought himself
It was a cobalt steel set with machined Hiragana numbers instead of the standard numerals
His character and the group ended up killing a Celestial and wiping a squad of Chemtanks with some lucky rolls before declaring victory
Yoru doesn’t join often, but when he comes in as a guest, he’s more than welcome
(Bonus Content)
Cypher tries to play as a mage and would always roll really high on important stuff.  He has loaded dice he swapped in every couple of turns
Fade joined in as a Catfolk and scared Clove back to death when she got really into character during an interrogation.  
Viper doesn’t admit it to anyone, but she played D&D as a kid but found it hard to keep groups together
Omen tried to learn it but with his own stuff going on treated it more as a random occasion.  He joins in as a guest character that does healing stuff
XXXXX unironically loves playing as a knight that is sworn to kill giant monsters and dragons for the safety of the realm.  XX also yells at the dice if they roll low

Finally completed the outfit reference for Jayna Stiles, a half-elven NPC follower from Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura.
Tumblr media
Outfit breakdown (or "outfit onions" as I like to call them lol~)
I really like Jayna Stiles and her backstory + goals of becoming a technological healer. I'm also a sucker for 19th-century fashion and I have an unhealthily large collection of reference books and a bunch of files saved from online museum collections (I've got about 22+ gigabytes of refs downloaded from the Library of Congress alone haha I need more hobbies).
Back on track, I really just wanted to design Jayna an outfit that suited her character more than her in-game sprites while also being practical for travel/adventuring.
Tumblr media
More unrestrained detailed design ramblings below the cut~
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Individual layers. I pulled most of her colors from her default outfit.
Since Arcanum's starting year is 1885, I usually picture the "modern" sense of fashion in big cities like Tarant and Caladon taking cues from real life 1885-1890s western fashions (to give myself some leeway with references). Smaller towns can be a bit more dated, but I try not to go back further than the 1870s in most cases.
Tumblr media
However, for a character like Jayna, who hails from Dernholm, I gave her clothing from references dating back to the 1850-1860s. I did this because Jayna says in her recruitment dialogue that "[her] parents weren't wealthy people, and [she doesn't] make much money here in Dernholm," so I took this to mean that she likely wears clothing to last, wearing hand-me-downs, makes her own clothes, and mending it over the years rather than buying new clothes.
Given that Dernholm (+ the Kingdom of Cumbria in general) isn't in the best state when the game starts, they may be behind the times and the latest fashions take longer to reach Dernholm.
Gar: “Alas, poor Dernholm! Once home to the legendary Dragon Knights, it has fallen on hard times since Praetor became king some 60 odd years ago. He despises all technology, and I think he's recently become sour on magick as well.”
Herkemer Oggdoddler: “For two generations Cumbria languished as an economically abused and technologically impaired backwater in the shadow of Tarant. Its once fine capital, Dernholm, has become a ruin.”
Tumblr media
Layer 1 - Chemise + Open Drawers. I deliberately drew the drawers as fairly loose so as to not expose her without having to redraw the pose or resort to "Barbie doll anatomy."
Various resources demonstrated the chemise being tucked into the drawers or worn fully untucked/loose, but I drew it as tucked-in for the sake of reference visibility, so perhaps either one works in practice.
Tumblr media
Layer 2 - Corset + Socks/Stockings. I picked a more "contemporary" (1880s) design for the corset as I imagine it would be a more custom-fitted garment. Plus, anyone who has ever worn bras will attest that a bra that properly fits is comparable to a good pair of shoes: never cheap out on it because if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Perhaps that same logic can be applied to corsets in ye olden days and historically-inspired fantasy settings.
For Jayna, despite the simplistic design, it might be one of the few luxuries she can afford for herself given the necessity of the garment for bust support.
Tumblr media
Layer 3 - Trousers + Shoes. I was inspired by vivandières and Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, who typically wore trousers beneath their skirts. Dr. Walker was a "surgeon, women’s rights advocate, abolitionist, and spy, [and] the first female U.S. Army surgeon during the Civil War." Since Jayna is an aspiring technological healer, I feel like an allusion to Dr. Walker and her practicality was appropriate.
Tumblr media
Layer 4 - Petticoat. It's just something to fill out the skirt volume a tad. I considered adding a corset cover in this layer but I did like having the upper outline of the corset somewhat visible in the shirtwaist layer to illustrate her living situation (aka she doesn't have one or just has a poor-quality one). As a modern-age woman, I think this this all already looks like a laundering nightmare to wash by hand.
Tumblr media
Layer 5 - Shirtwaist + Outer Skirt. I really like the shape of the 1860s Garibaldi blouse's sleeves (I think these are bishop sleeves? correct me if I'm wrong...) and the stripes allude to some 19th century nurse uniforms. I initially went for a plaid pattern but that was a pain to draw and using a pre-existing plaid brush/pattern just didn't look as good as I wanted it to be.
Tumblr media
Layer 6 - Sash + Pistol Holster + Bag. Given Jayna's goals of becoming a tech healer, I took design cues from vivandières, who were 19th-century women attached to military regiments, with a few known vivandières being nurses (like Anna Etheridge).
However, rather than lifting the vivandière look completely, I imagine Jayna would attempt to replicate the silhouette with her own clothes. The bag is a bit of an amalgamation of various 18th-19th century hunting/frontier bags, so I apologize that I don't have a direct reference image.
---------------
Of course, in the end, I did take some liberties with the outfit so it's not completely historically-accurate, but that's okay since Arcanum is a fictional universe.
I guess I should've prefaced that I'm no expert on historical fashion, just a casual enthusiast who thinks "ooh old dress is pretty!"
I just wanted to see how far I could go before I had to make some concessions, such as:
Jayna's hair is short and worn loose while irl Victorian women typically had long hair and wore them up (there were documented exceptions of course). Many portraits for both female player characters and female NPCs across all in-game races show short hair and loose long hair, so let's just assume that 19th-century Arcanum has more relaxed feminine hair standards compared to the real-life 19th century western world. Also, irl 19th-century rural women did sell their hair for money, so maybe there's something to apply to the world of Arcanum with that. Or maybe the short-hair craze just hit Arcanum a few decades early *shrug*.
I initially planned to give her gloves, but many resources show vivandières not really wearing them, preferring to go barehanded.
The clothing colors may be a bit too saturated for the era I took inspiration from, but I wanted to stay somewhat faithful to Jayna's original sprite colors.
I did simplify some garments down for the sake of me having to draw enough layers as it is lol. Sorry if the lace wasn't fancy enough or that she doesn't have headwear. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sometimes you just wanna finish a project and be done with it.
hoo boy, that was a lot
Thank You For Coming to My TED Talk :)
Now go play Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura~

I have two minds to answer this, because part of me is going 'WE GOT EM!!! WE GOT EM!!' While the other part of me is like 'oh god how do I tell them. Who’s going to tell them.' The easiest way I can explain: Tom, Ben, and Harry are not in a minecraft series together, and the lore that I have for them is not based in any actual series. HOWEVER. DON’T LET THE TRAGIC TRUTH MAKE YOU CLICK AWAY /silly so I can explain properly LMAO
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here’s a TLDR for anyone who likes these guys and is a lil interested in them!!
Most of the lore for these three is based on an amalgamation of inside jokes, non-minecraft character trends, and general yogs minecraft world lore!
Tom was an editor (now has a YouTube channel, AngoryTom) and did behind-the-scenes minecraft prep for the Yogscast for so long that he was never really interested in any actual "main channel" series besides [Dig Site - 10 episodes] with Simon, Lewis, and Ben, and [Skyblock - 2 episodes] with Ben! Although he’s also played several npcs throughout various main channel series since he was helping run the show lol. My take on his character is that he’s a former yoglabs employee due to [YOGLABS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION] and now lives his laziest life ever in an undisclosed remote location. He’s also the demigod of death but he’ll never tell
Ben started doing main series mc content a few years ago, but hasn’t done anything mc with Tom and Harry until recently (see below)! His character is a Shark Hybrid due to [YOGLABS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION] who now lives with Tom at the same undisclosed remote location.
Harry has been an insane speedrunning minecraft legend for ages, but was never in any main series content bc he’s actually a graphic designer for the yogs. But he was part of Iskall’s twitch vault hunter event back in November, and he’s now in the [Vault Hunter Series - Ongoing] with Ben and Duncan on YouTube! <3 so there’s plenty of mc content of Harry and Ben, but not so much Tom. c!Harry has lived remote for as long as he can remember, locked in Hardcore, until…?
But again, I base their backstories on a bunch of kinda loosely connected lore dots that are half based on jokes <3
Below the read more includes: links to clips, compilations, and very brief lore explanations (though you can check my other lore drawings in Tom’s tag (#Angory Tom), Ben’s tag (#bedgar), Harry’s tag (#brryhrry) or posts that have any of them, which should be under the (#the outcast trio) tag)!
BEN AND TOM
I’ve been in love with Ben and Tom as a duo forever, since the TTT (modded Trouble in Terrorist Town) days, where Ben’s player model was Left Shark, and Tom’s model was Emperor Palpatine (yes from Star Wars. I can’t stand them). But Ben and Tom have been yogs editors and Behind The Scenes guys forever, so it wasn’t until more recently that they became known personalities in the main yogscast circle (4-5 years is pretty recent in the 10+ years of yogs content timeline LMAO).
Through Warhammer streams and behind the scenes stuff, I kinda fell in love with their chemistry and idiocy, and they worked so well with the “main cast” that I just had to put them in the yogs minecraft universe, somewhere. Turns out, Tom had actually done a majority of the "behind the scenes" work for the Yoglabs series (he built a majority of the main building, did mod research and testing, was present during recordings to make sure things went well, stuff like that) so it only made sense to have his character be the Right Hand Man/ Behind The Scenes Assistant to Xephos (Lewis), the Morally Questionable Head of Yoglabs.
For anyone who’s unfamiliar with Yoglabs, it’s one of the yogs’ more famous series featuring Simon (Honeydew) and Lewis (Xephos) where they tested mods! more info can be found here!
c!Tom also ended up as a Lumian (the fanon alien space species for the yogs fandom, vaguely inspired by Star Trek Vulcans) because of a one-off joke where one of the Yogs artists drew him as a star trek commander, and I really didn’t need any further reason to make him a weird little guy LDKFJG
As far as the “demigod of death” thing goes, it felt right to give him a lore thing that vaguely coordinated with the whole “Emporer Palpatine” vibe, since that’s kinda the mc skin he’s used most recently. There’s another reason there that I don’t think I’ve properly explained, so I’ll leave the rest of that be for now ;]
Ben, on the other hand, plays a shark character in pretty much every video game he ever participates in, so shark hybrid was a pretty obvious way to go. And of course, since the duo had to be in the same place… involving Ben’s shark Hybrid-ness with yoglabs experimentation made good sense and good angst. What can I say :]
Here are the bigger lore posts I’ve made so far (in the order i posted them i believe!), explaining in a little more detail plus art to go with! :] [x] [x] [x]
HARRY
Harry is kinda known as the yogscast’s token memelord? But in the ironic way. He somehow makes it genuinely hilarious idk man. His humor is very dry, witty, and sarcastic, but he’s a sweetheart and kind of a god at minecraft. I’ve been arguing since day one that this man should be in mcc but we won’t go there
There aren't many solo harry compilations, so here's a link to a Harry and Ben compilation hehe
Regarding his minecraft lore, pretty much all of it is based around the idea that he’s a god at speedrunning and hardcore Minecraft. A common consensus in yogscast minecraft lore is that respawning is actually a Yoglabs-based mechanic tied to clones and clone making. I thought it would be interesting if Harry could be tied to a hardcore element in the yogs lore purely by having Somehow slid under yoglabs’ radar. And since he was never in any main channel (aka modded) series, i usually associate him with Vanilla mechanics, and since i also view mods as a Yoglabs-related lore element, it made sense! So basically— no clones, no respawns, no mods!
except that he’s in a main channel series now. So I’ll need to find a new lore reason around that DTBJDFGHK
And his design, well… this man’s skin is straight up Mr Mime, and there’s only so much I can do with that /silly But he’s a HUGE Pokémon fan! He’s played a couple of Disaster Nuzlockes with Lydia from the yogs a year or so ago, if that’s something you’re interested in! Was a huge comfort series for me for the longest time and rly good background noise, theyre soooo good at Pokémon I promise <3
Harry does more twitch stuff (hrry on twitch) than youtube stuff, so twitch is the best place to check him out if you're interested in his solo content!
Last thing I'll say about him is that he designed and ran an original minecraft minigame called "Capture the Wool" and he and Martyn are the hosts for a few episodes i think! i dont think there's any way to explain how entertaining it is to listen to him announce the chaos of yogs members trying to play competitive minecraft LOL
Um, so. TLDR…2, These guys are basically my ocs and now I get Actual minecraft content from them which is crazy. I love them as content creators and cool guys so so much though, so! Definitely recommend listening to these idiots (affectionate) babble and ramble to each other, mc or not <3

OH MY GAWDDD
I’m so normal, I’ve been coping recently since I’ve been rlly sick by watching Grian and I’ve been binging a lot of this stuff (ahem including season 10, finished season 6 after contemplating, and watching a bunch of other videos like ones with Taurtis!)
And like I totally forgot about NPC GRIAN. IM GOING BANANAS.

GOD FORSAKEN NPC GRIAN AND HIS RUSTIC HOUSES… GOD FORBID HE PLAYS BUILD BATTLE AND MAKES A RUSTIC HOUSE EACH ROUND.
DO NOT LET HIM OUT THE CLOSET HE CANNOT OPEN DOORS!
Anyways I’m insane and drew the small skit for the video that introduced ROBOT Grian and so, I grow more hyper fixated on this man :3 (I may be a tad bit un normal…)
So, don’t mind the different style for NPC Grian and usual Grian (it’s to be able to tell who’s who!) and enjoy a small drawing I drew and forgot to post on April 1st :3
-Azzy! ><
