#haneul caeles

[fantroll-purgatory]

I hope TR is ok! Of all the things i expected as an intro that was the most concerning :[ Anyway with that out of the way, I’ve decided to rope this guy in lieu of Lutifi’s revision.

I’m doing okay-ish! I was dealing with repetitive stress injuries in both wrists and those are moooostly on the way out but now I have sprained my ankle because I am a comic relief character in a cartoon lmao.

World: Alternia

Name: Haneul: meaning “heaven/sky” in Korean. and Caeles surprisingly having no meaning when I looked it up but it it could be a variation of Caelestis, a late latin term which meant “of the sky, heavenly”.

Hmmmm. I find it really, really interesting that you have a sky-themed Blood player. Especially when so many other aspects of his character have to do with limiting freedoms.

If I may suggest a potential alternate name, perhaps Haneul Catena, the last name meaning “chain?”

Age: Possibly around 6-7 sweeps

Theme/Story: Originally, he had no real theme until I sent in Serena, the purple blooded mafia boss. That is when he became her brawn, getting things done that Serena herself can’t do. Then with Lutifi’s revamp, this gave him the perfect opportunity to act as a co-regent for Lutifi when he is out and about with his surfing. So now he is an agent for Serena as well as a consultant for ruling with Lutifi like how Louis XIII of France heavily relied on Cardinal Richelieu. In light of this co-regency, Haneul has also thwarted several assassination attempts on Lutifi during his surfing competitions. Later in his session, he would eventually snap and cause a bloodbath nearly wiping out the entire session, destroying the bonds of all the players. Yet the Seer of Time survives and goes back and warns the past Seer about that timeline.

I am curious: what does the Seer of Time do differently to ensure he doesn’t cause a TPK?

Goals: Mostly a check if everything fits together narratively and such. If a re-design is needed, then sure design away!

Specibus: I would go with Hookkind, like roadhog’s hook

Fetch Modus: Prison: Basically when you capchalogue something it is closed off by bars. To retrieve the item, you must captchalogue another item. Below the area labelled “Required”, either the item’s name is written or the item is pictured. When nothing appears, you have to give it money, which is why this modus is a complete ass sometimes.

Nice! So it’s a bribery system, almost? Perhaps you could have particular important items set “bail,” meaning they can leave if they provide the requested item and will give them back to you when the important item is recaptchalogued.

Blood: Violet, It was a bit brighter at one point, then I changed it to be closer to cannon.

Given the strong themes of imprisonment/freedom binaries I may possibly suggest making him teal.

Symbol: A bit swirly compared to the other violet signs…

Handle: thonicAcidaemia

Quirk: ᔕ SurroundS hiS SentenceS with theSe weird S thingS ᔕ

Ehhhh as far as I can tell that’s just a letter from the Canadian aboriginal alphabet and doesn’t seem to contribute to any kind of theme. How about he:

§ Open§ up hi§ §entence§ with §ection §symbols?

It’s frequently used to reference sections in legal code and T B H at this point I am very strongly advocating that you make him a tealblood.

Lusus: Possibly a Sea Snail of some kind

If you wanna keep him violet I’m not sure a snail would be appropriate unless he is very very slow. Given his need to be adaptable in situations, may I suggest maybe a ligerfish, with the spines of a lionfish and the teeth of a tigerfish? Beautiful, ethereal, fulla teef.

If you make him teal, I would suggest a flying squirrel! It works nicely with his dual grounding/freedom themes.

Interests: He keeps most of them a secret but has a soft spot for the equivalent of extreme sports are on Alternia. Every now and then he likes to build model hives but they always end up as if a hurricane swept through them due to his short temper outside of his work.

Personality: A Rough ‘n Tumble sort of guy. He mostly keeps a stoic “don’t give a fuck” sort of facade during his odd jobs.

Dream Planet:  Derse; Honestly i’m not certain on the whole dichotomy on how the sways work.

If you’re looking for a guide, CD wrote an excellent one right here, but based on what you’ve given me I’m unsure, and I think it’s up to you! Does he resent having to babysit Lutifi, or is he delighted to have purchase on this kind of power? I think the latter would be a Dersite and the former a Prospitan.

Title: Bard of Blood

I agree that he’s a Blood player, but given what you’ve written in the bio I have no way of determining if he’s a Bard. If he invites destruction through bonds, is it because he enables poor ruling decisions through his friendship with Lutifi? Is it because he uses people’s bonds against them to rip his session apart?

Land: Land of Sulfur and Brimstone: Now that I look at this, it sounds like Hell II: Electric Bugaloo

I like it! I would kinda love it if you had a gag where he walks around his land with a clothespin on his nose.

So here’s a redesign for if you re-spec him to teal! If you wanna keep him violet I still gave design notes you could incorporate.

Horns - gave ‘em a little S-curve!

Hair - Hair in Alternia is rarely as neat as the one on the left, so I sprited it messier

Face - the face was looking a little ripped from canon sprites so I wanted to edit all of it to look more unique. Also I added teef because I like them.

Coat - I removed the hood because it looked awkward and didn’t really seem to add to the flow of his design?

Symbol - I just used the section symbol on its side since it already looked similar to the symbol you sprites

Shorts - Equius’s shorts, to show off the…

Boots - which are adapted from fan-troll, which I meanly wanted to use to again contrast the flowiness of the cloak to the groundedness of the shoe.

That’s about it! Thanks for your patience with the review.
