‼️ REALLY LONG - Eve Moral. Deep dive? About the 3 brothers. Find them all really interesting… Edgar in actions, Eve in character and Kai in… story? Honestly can’t get enough of the Kai and Eve dynamic. Really the 3 brothers in general but them mostly. Their story is a lot more sad when you think about it.

First of all Kai. The youngest, and also the most screwed over one. He gives you this relaxed vibe, laid back but his last part gives you a kind of depressive vibe. He goes back and forth from putting on this “fun and cool” face to this “I need help” face. I mean think about it really. His older brother, who has sociopathic behavior, practically mentally tortures their mother into running away (when she clearly already had her own problems). Then years later his twin brother runs away. Leaving him alone with Edgar. Edgar then starts to blackmail Kai, in this fucked up relationship where it’s, “clean up my mess and I’ll pay you. If you don’t I can get you arrested for literally hundreds of murders from the DNA of YOURS that I have.” Kai almost makes it seem like he’s there, doing it willingly at first., which he’s clearly not, then outright says he’s not. Almost blowing it off at first by saying “oh well he’s providing for me.” Before deciding to just tell the listener. But then you realize how much more damage Edgar is causing by lying to Eve. Saying, “Look at him… the disgusting things he does. His life, his actions, his money. It’s greedy, it’s rotten.” (Not an actual quote). Almost like he’s playing into the visions Eve has by telling him that Kai does it for money. Because it’s profitable, which is Eve’s whole theory and big idea with Hypnos… about this power imbalance between society and people with power. Eve knows Edgar is a liar, but he believes him because Edgar has played into Eve’s beliefs. That might have been the cause for Eve running away. They would have been in their teens then since we know in the videos Kai is 19. Or he could have been told that after running away. We know they had little contact due to Eve sending checks in the mail. There’s no clear timeline. But lying and misunderstanding isn’t the (main) problem. The fact that Eve never knew what was really going on. He was so caught up with his own life, and problems with Hypnos. He’ll never know how much Kai actually cared about him. Kai talks about it, about Eve, and that the money is proof Eve is well- doing good for himself and that he’s glad Eve escaped. He’s glad that there’s a chance Eve cares even a little about his family after everything, and glad that he’s “happy and healthy.”

And then we have Eve. Him and his cult can be an entirely different post. But for now, he doesn’t know. He doesn’t know that Kai still gives a shit, he thinks the roles are swapped. He thinks Kai is murdering people, streaming red rooms for money. And Edgar is just a sociopath who drove their mother insane. He has no reason to like his family really… but he tried. In an effort to get out of his own problems he used Kai.

Having no context on what the possible standoff or event was like is heartbreaking. Maybe Kai saw Eve and was happy, hopeful, excited even.., before immediately being betrayed without an explanation. Maybe he was caught off guard and never got to see Eve one last time. Whatever happened, we now know Kai never got his chance to explain because of Eve’s explanation as to why he did it. And after Eve leaves the country, he won’t ever know unless somebody makes an effort to get to him about it. Somebody as in the only two people who know which are Edgar and Kai’s listener. Both know Eve exists but know nothing about his whereabouts. If Edgar wanted to, he could try to make an effort but he doesn’t seem like the type to care. He hasn’t really lost a lot, he could easily put another person in that relationship. And Kai’s listener doesn’t have enough material to go off of, if they tried it wouldn’t be long before they got themselves stuck in some situation with somebody who has connections to this whole problem. Likely ending with them dead too.

it is very funny playing dnd with a bunch of queer people because our statistics are so scued.  like queer people hang out with queer people, so for us being in a room filled with other LGBT+ s is not odd. 

but then you get into our games where more then 50% of the population is trans and everyone is gay in some flavor we’re all just like “yes this is normal”

KAI MORAL 💙- I literally started prancing around my room when I found out that Kai is trans. I was going to draw a Camelia X Lovebug thing because they are my favorite out of any dynamic (right next to Sean and Doe Eyes), BUT I got the uhm- news. And decided to do this instead, some cute Kai X Listener. Idk what to call Kai’s listener, they have some “creepo” type vibes but Kai doesn’t really call them anything so it’s still listener for now. I’ve drawn Kai’s listener as a chibi with notes in a Listeners post with another 3. So I guess you could say it’s part of the series but also not really lol… anyway sorry for rambling. Kai deserved better.

The moment :P

[fatalmorning]

Kai and Salvador would be friends I promise

Backup PC for one of the games I'm in. Laurel Antoinette, a genasi monk/bloodhunter. Really went off with her aesthetic but she's been one of the easiest designs I've had for a hot minute, she really wanted to be made.

[degusart]

some character concept/doodle pages fro the past few weeks featuring some npcs from @werepaladin 's game and the archfae from my own. though LC belongs to @dont-fuck-me-gil as her PC-gone-NPC after the end of the campaign

2 & 10 for Ida, 23 & 7 for Rossien, 24 & 30 for Madea

Ida

2. would your character carry around a tiny bath and body works hand sanitizer? if yes, would it have a specific scent?

yes, but i don't think the bath and body work ones. tbh I think she'd go for unscented. hand sanitizer is already smelly enough don't need perfume on top of that for her delicate nose lol

10. does your character have tattoos? were they alone the first time they got one?

I think Ida probably has a little sick-and-poke on her ankle. something simple a flower or the like. She probably got it at a party when she was younger so no. she doesn't really remember who gave it to her just that it happened. she likes the idea of getting more but its low-priorty

Rossien

23. what’s the pettiest thing your character’s ever done?

ohhhh, probably took something precious during his divorce just so that his ex couldn't have it. a painting, Rossein didn't really care for it but he knew his ex loved it. made his ex choose between two things he loved just so Rossein would have it and not him. Rossien probably threw it out or sold it not too long after.

7. what’s the first thing your character’s eyes are drawn to on a map?

Large cities and waterways. mountains too as those are the only major issue for his travels. he notes roads but they're only a suggestion.

Madea

24. what made your character the angriest they’ve ever been?

oh that's a hard one, she's baseline like 9/10 anger at all times so having an upper limit blurs most of them together. Probably finding out who her bio father is and what he did to Freddy. though all of those feelings are combined into a rage-filled spicy soup. alongside the loss of the relationship with her sister and just all the fuckery going on in the campaign.

but yeah, finding out your dad isn't only a cop, but he's also the cop who murdered her bf is a lot. but she's going to kill him wich will make everything better :)

30. how has your character’s first impressions of their party members changed since they met them? have they stayed the same?

ohh boy, this is a lot lmao

Glau: "this guy is weird but seems harmless. 3/10 threat, need more information" -> "this guy is weird, has drugs and can fuck shit up. 5/10 threat, stay on his good side."

Dunrich: "he's quiet, but seems competent. 8/10 threat, killed a harken worshiper more or less in cold blood; keep a watchful eye." -> "on the level, chill and a softy inside (gross) can marginally trust. 4/10 threat, do not move against will kill me if pushed."

Llewyn: "Quiet and on the level (crime). Knows how to get shit done and business-like 6/10 threat" -> "all previous statements are still true, will work with me for money and does not ask unnecessary questions. 9/10 threat, will most likely move against me if paid enough. Keep my eye on her...."

Corvus: "lmao what a nerd. 2/10 threat" -> "ah a nerd with a sword, dragon and axe to grind. 4/10 threat."

Bea: "Oh gods she knows who I am??? oh, she knows (og) made, that's both worse and better. follower of the Harken, hm, hard to tell. Goodie-two-shoes gets her nose into things it does not belong but is hesitant to action. 4/10 threat, while she might act against me, she would not have the balls to do anything rash." -> "lmao what a nerd, not with the harken but still not to be trusted. asks way to many questions but does not have anything to back her up if she gets pushy. 2/10 threat (derogatory) like a small dog who thinks she's bigger then she is."

Setting Basics

This game takes place in a heavily homebrewed world. Throw out most things you know about “canonical” D&D because this is a “I do what I want” zone.

The world at large is known as “Vertellus”, or the material plane. However, the campaign is set in a large, snowy kingdom known as Kaimor Kingdom. It is a monarchy, although there are many powers in the kingdom vying for power and control. Despite its large size, the kingdom is mostly icey mountains, alpine forests and frozen steppes. Its main export is precious gems and metals from the mountains, though it is an isolated faction. No one wants to wage war, as there is little to gain for a great risk, but the hostility and of the current king prevents the kingdom from gaining allies.

Some crucial things to know about the world at large is that, for around 800 years, the majority of Gods that all mortals knew have disappeared. No one knows what happened, where they’ve gone, or if they’re still even living. This has created an absense of divine magic across Vertellus.

This is particularly concerning in Kaimor, as undead plague the land. Anyone who dies returns as undead, and even destroying the body isn’t a guarantee, as they may return as a ghost or spectre instead of a zombie. Because of this, Kaimor is heavily militarized, with the majority of the populous having some level of martial training to help defend themselves and their community. All towns are also walled, preventing undead from wandering through towns.

Necromancy is illegal, punishable by death ironically. Being undead yourself, even if fully sentient, is as well. The majority of citizens don’t understand the intricracies of magic, thus anything that “looks” like necromancy will be considered as such.

Primal or druidic magic is the most common magic in Kaimor. Both druids and rangers’ skillsets are helpful to safely navigate the kingdom. Arcane magic is rare, as there are very limited places to learn such magic. Both aren’t well understood by the majority of people, though, and casters can find themselves mistrusted or even feared.

Divine magic has one main source in Kaimor, despite the lack of it everywhere else. The Church of Reverence, who worship a being known as The Hearken (It/Its). The Church is a beacon of light in the darkness of the kingdom, however ask for heavy prices. In order to recieve any kind of aid or healing, you have to be a part of the Church, and renounce worship of any other entities. You also have to concied to the hierarchy and norms of the Church. It was founded 70 years ago, after Saint Wilson Cylrien first began to worship The Hearken and convinced others of his mission. Since his passing, his son, Oltar Cylrien, is the leader and Hierophant of the church.
