Goldmines mountain lore

[roxas-von-einzbern]

Ok, so! Here are some details about the universe in which my characters live:

Dragons are considered the most ancient mortal beings to ever exist. They have lifespans lasting centuries, if not millenia, and this coupled with the fact they're very difficult to kill makes them nearly immortal. Dragons are capable of harnessing immense quantities of magic from the very fabric of reality and use it, can shapeshift at will, some of them can breath fire and can come in any shape and size. However they are also often arrogant, have the instinct to hoard a very specific thing (it may not be classic gold and jewels) and reproduce very rarely, to the point most people consider them extinct. Moorchild is one of the very few dragons alive known;

Much like with humans, faes have their clans, tribes and ethnicities, which can vary greatly from one another regarding cultures, laws, languages and even powers. Jamie, Leucrocuta and Skugge are all faes, but Jamie comes from a different group;

Every major city in the Aboveground has at least a guardian whose task is to guard the balance between above and below and make sure they don't come in contact. People able to live in both worlds are rare and very few;

Due to have been denied access both in Heaven and Hell, Stingy Jack must wander on Earth forever, without rest. That's why he never stays long in one place, he can't. Also, he's technically and undead, which means he can become tangible and visible at will, but doesn't feel anything. In a similar manner to Barbossa&crew in the first PotC, Jack doesn't feel the taste of food and drinks, tactile sensations, if he's hot/cold/sleepy/hungry/thirsty etc. That doesn't stop him with engaging in his favorite vice, but the truth is that he feels empty, lonely and bored. And so, so tired, obviously. When he crosses paths by chance with Nora, Jack remains so intrigued by this in-between girl that he decides to stick with her. Unfortunately for Nora, no attempt in driving him away has succeded so she resolved in waiting for Jack's curse to inevitably hit. However, he maybe isn't so bad.... I imagine these two to have a Beetlejuice/Lydia kind of relationship

Do you have a favorite myth, and if so, what is it?

I was extremely fond of Irish mythology for a while, especially the Red Branch/Cuchulainn cycle (Cuchulainn, mythology's greatest harmbo). For various really unfortunate reasons that never should have hsppened, I can't really engage with it anymore. Which sucks because it is really, really fun. It's fuckin crazy mythology they have over there. I love that about it. There was a dude who smashed a chariot in battle with his boner. A guy made a river because his dick was so big it dragged on the ground. Almost all of it is inevitably fucking tragic, which is great if you enjoy Suffering.

My favorite sort of thing is weird creatures from any branch of folklore or mythology, and also horrible monsters. I like to imagine them as real, somehow, and what they would actually look like, and guessing what their natural habits and behavior would be. This extends to some modern cryptozoology, but only certain kinds of creatures or monsters. Others I am just not into. Sorry, bigfoot.

My favorite imaginary creatures are ANYTHING feline, unicorns/Pegasus/fantasy equines, and specifically the leucrotta/leucrocuta which is neither but very cool. I have the skull of one; they were a really fantastical description of a hyena. They look different in my imagination, though. More like this classic illustration from the AD&D Monster Manual:

Kind of deerlike, kind of canine. I think about them a lot. Also perytons, but those are modern in origin. I have some great ideas about those as well.

I also love the concept of angels. Not bland white guys in nipple-y armor, but angels as really frightening Creatures that are occasionally human-looking and/or fuckable. (Sorry St. Michael.) I have my own little ideas about what the various types look like and do.

Edit: I fuckin. Forgot. The Goetic demons. (Sorry Uncle Stolas!) The grubby little urchin that tells you where treasure is hidden and just...fuckin...hands you snakes??? One guy is just a horse. Another guy is a smaller horse, or maybe a donkey, who just infodumps you about all the people who have ever drowned. There are some specific-ass demons.

Spirt animal??? 👀 Pray tell, my dearest.... what's the au about? Well, besides the fact it says it in the title, what's everyone's spirit animal and why? :>

Well my dearest beloved, I do admit that most of these spirit animals are random, but each one is assigned to a character when they reach their 13th birthday! I have most characters but am still thinking on some; Here's what I have so far!

Jack: Cerberus (I just thought Jack having a dog would be cute) John: Manticore Shotty: Pegasus Ethan: Wyvern Kevin: Phoenix Robert: Hydra Roy: Unicorn Ross: Griffin Lila: Kitsune Streber: Dragon Liv: Hippocampus Confi: Kirin Leon: Enfield Jaune: Peryton Frank: Leucrocuta Aria: Baku Richard: Jackalope Radford: Wolpertinger (thought it would be funny if the other sibs got big, cool spirit animals and Rad got a tiny little thing) Diego: Goldhorn Cap: Merhorse (Kinda matching Shotty) Rick: Roc Carmen: Zmiulan (It looked elegant idk) Robin: Quezalcoatl Patty: Kelpie Ross's Dad: Chimera Evermore: Serpent Dexter: Cockatrice (I liked how it looked like a nonsensical horror mixture instead of something elegant or grand) Bob: Hellhound (It's a hunting dog cmon)

What do you get when you want to describe an antelope and get it confused with your description of a hyena a few lines back?

Spark form #23: Meet the Leucrocuta! A monstrous chimera that was inspired by tales of the hyena from Africa.

Leucrocuta sparks are often loud, party lovers, and excellent tricksters.

Many more spark forms are on their way! Hope these help you all to make your own spark OCS for the comic!

Botober, day 3: Dolphin leucrocuta

Learned what a leucrocuta is 🤓

[roxas-von-einzbern]

You've ocs? Wanna talk about them?

Oh, yeah 😎

My first OC is Nora Vargas, who was born as a sort of mental self-insert. She's a 25-year-old, neurodivergent young woman currently studiyng for graduating in History at Rome's Univesity. A solitary soul, she has no friends outside the roman cats, guardians of the equilibrium between the Aboveground (basically, the world we live in and know) and the Underground (a hidden, magical world located mainly underground and wich is a crossroad for other dimensions) in the city of Rome, for whom Nora sometimes goes on "errands" as payment for a debt. Nora descends from a line of witches who lived between the two worlds, but, because of her father's disappearance when she was 5, she was kept totally separated from the Underground from her mother.... until some years ago.

Then we have Stingy Jack (at least my version of him): a silvertongued ghost condemned to walk the world for having outsmarted the Devil himself twice. Despite being a manipolative thief, an alcoholist bastard and having no problems with violence he apparently disapproves of mistreatment against women.

Leucrocuta the Fox and Skugge the Wolf are a couple of fey mercenaries and lovers who live to cause mayhem. Leucrocuta is actually the bastard son of a fey noble, the Fox-King, and a human seeress and shaman; he secretly dreams of killing his father to avenge his mother. Skugge wasn't aware of his otherwordly nature at first: to him, he was simply a common wolf, despite his ability to assume a human form at will, invulnerability and exceptionally long lifespan. After his forest was burnt down and his pack decimated he decided to venture in the human world, meeting Leucrocuta (or Leuca, as he calls him). They decided to become mercenaries and assassins for hire and never parted ways since.

Jamie is an awkward fey transboy mad scientist a la Entrapta from She-ra. Originally Crown Princess of his kingdom, since it allows female-only monarchs he essentially abdicated when he came out, but that's okay: he never liked the idea of being a ruler. Jamie would like to spend his life doing strange experiments because why not with the assistance of his bodyguard and romantic partner Moorchild, but fears the day his relatives will come for him....

Speaking of Moor (diminutive of Moorchild), they are a shapeshifting enby dragon, sold to Jamie's kingdom extremely young (though they're still a child for dragons standards) as a political hostage by their mother, chosen for being the "runt" of the litter. As soon as they learned how to shift their appearance they trained for becoming Jamie's paladin, since he was the only one kind to them. When Jamie fled his kingdom, so di Moor, in order to live with him.

Aaand that's all for now, folks! Wew, what a long post!

[dwollsadventures]

Jack Frost - This little shit's the American son of Boreas. He loves messing around, covering windows in fern graffiti, stealing fingers and toes. Just don't really make him mad, you wouldn't like it when he's mad... Puck -  You're average, everyday house boggart. Not to be confused with Robin Goodfellow. Afanc - A Welsh water demon, able to appear as either a goblin, alligator, or beaver. Troll cat and trollnøste - Creatures made by witches and trolls to steal people's milk. The trollnøste is basically a bladder covered with a cat skin, not very efficient, and likely to burst when poked. Troll cats (not to be confused with the Shadow Balder or Urdarköttur) are much more efficient, but creating them means splitting a part of your soul into them, which could prove to be risky if its caught.. If the witch wants to be safer, they could also use a hare instead of a cat, which makes them much faster and less likely to be caught. Spriggan - Unfairly turned into boring dryads by Bethesda, spriggans are pretty cool Cornish fairies. They're described as being the "ghosts of giants" guarding gold and controlling the storms, which is pretty fucking metal. Sylph and Water Sprites and Leucrocotta have already been and expounded upon.
