#oc: ateris

[kurizeria]

The earthen waters could not heal Ateris' ancient wounds. Still, its soothing song reverberated within his core. For the first time in centuries, he was at peace. TDPtober Day 5 x 6: Star & Healing.

TDP: EoS chapter 2 progress update (and some general yapping)

The entire chapter has been scripted and thumbnailed and is ready for illustrating (it has been for a few weeks fjkdlg), I'm just spending a couple weeks working on a short animatic as a little treat for my birthday on the 14th before I continue!

(Minor self-promo paragraph) I'm trying really hard to finish that animatic on time, so you should be able to see a post about it on my main @kurizeria ☺️. It's the same kind of style as all my other animatics on my youtube, and I'll also be posting it there anyway (which btw all my animatics on YT are TDP based at the time I'm posting this, so like. wink wonk). Although it's not made with the focus of it being canon to EoS' timeline, I guess it's technically canon since it's involved in a certain part of an OC's story, and I'd probably reference it if the OC ever brought the subject up or thought about it.

ANYWAY. ETA on chapter 2 will prooobably be after S7's release since it's much longer than the introductory chapter and although I wish I was a speed demon, I am but one sleepy person 🤔 I should probably look at making some reusable assets and brushes LOL. Not sure what all I'll be redrawing regularly yet that making a brush out of could lift the load for, but I'm sure by chapter 3 or 4 I'll figure it out!

Well, at the very least for time management (so it doesn't take me like 2 years just to get to chapter 12 or w/e broooo), I was planning to be a bit more light on the backgrounds after ch1. Kind of like how the official TDP comics often times have white or single colour/simple backgrounds in less important or dialogue moments that focus on the character's face (but still have more detailed backgrounds where needed), so that'll help make things way easier, especially so I can focus more on some characters whose designs might be more time consuming to repeatedly draw (looking at you Ateris). I just wanted the introductory chapter to be pretty :D

OK I think yap time is over, but as always you're free to shoot me a message anytime. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

My part of an art trade with @kurizeria ! With her lovely OC Ateris and Fareeda from The Dragon Prince <3

[funkscop1997]

i have NO IDEA IF THIS IS IMPORTANT but about my ocs.

so in the disheveled land of ateris there are (kinda obviously) a species of aliens called aterians. i never post abt my ocs (or tdloa in general sorry) so for anyone wondering if aterians are like a closed toy house type species......... No

i don't even have a toy house account lol. basically Just In Case anyone wanted to make an aterian oc (which i doubt) it's only open to friends and mutuals. i didn't make ateris or aterians for any closed species type purposes, i don't even go into those communities, i just like creating alien worlds n stuff.

what if 😳😳 i said i had a fantroll 😳😳

Other User Added Ships

We’ve discussed the main ships, consisting of canon characters only. Now I’d like to discuss the following:

self-ships;

ships with OCs;

ships with characters from other fandoms;

crack ships;

ships I couldn’t classify.

1. Self-ships

These are the ships where a person ships themselves with a character. I didn’t receive a lot of these, which is surprising, because I’ve seen quite a few people self-ship online.

It is a shame, because self-ships are great and they are a really neat indicator of how desirable some characters are. Like, sure, you can have a character that is loved by the fandom, like, say, Amaya. Many people love Amaya for different reasons, but some people actually feel sexually or emotionally attracted to her. Of course, not everybody who feels attracted to a character ships themselves with that character, but quite a few people do.

It’s possible that many people are embarrassed to admit it even in an anonymous poll.

Here’s a pie chart of all the self-ships I’ve received:

The number inside each slice represents the number of people who voted for a given ship.

With such a tiny sample, the margin of error is huge! It’s still fun to see that Aaravos is the most desired character, which coincides with my observations from simply browsing the internet.

2. Ships with OCs

Okay, I’ve seen a lot of awesome TDP OCs shipped with various canon characters (the majority - with Aaravos), but I only got three people adding anything OC related:

Nyx x OC

Ateerida (Ateris (OC startuched elf male, of Kurizera) x Fareeda)

All the Startouched OCs ships

People put lots of effort into their OCs, but I feel like they don’t get enough appreciation. Someone should organize an event for TDP OCs (whether it’s romantic OCs, fanchildren, or OCs needed for the plot of someone’s story). It’ll take me some time before I’m done with the shipping poll, so I’d be really happy if someone else took this task upon them :”D

3. Ships with characters from other fandoms

I got only one - Sormiko (Soren x Kimiko Tohomiko from Shaolin Showdown)

Aaravos/Lotor people, where have you gone??? :o

4. Crack Ships

A crack ship is generally a ship that is somehow unusual. It can be something utterly bizarre, funny or sometimes - disturbing. 

Ezran x Jelly tarts

Gren x Strawberry Cake

Berto x The Ruthless

Nyx x Shadowpaw x Moonstrider

The first two are obvious - cute boys and their favorite dessert.

The third one is especially funny if you imagine the huge Berto from Callum’s dream!

The last one is what I’d call bizarre. I don’t actually know if it’s meant as a crack ship or a serious ship. In case it was supposed to be serious - I would like to apologize to the shipper! I think all ships are valid regardless of how I personally feel about them!

5. Ships I couldn’t classify

Aarvaos with anyone

Kazi (the translator elf x ________) (this is the form I received it in)

The first one’s very clear, although I’m not sure if the person meant literally everyone, like, including Bait, Pip and Berto.

The second one, I assume, is supposed to show that the person headcanons Kazi to be aro/ace? Is that correct, OP? Send me an anonymous ask and tell me, if you see this post!

---

I also received two mean-spirited ones, which I decided not to include in this discussion :T sorry guys, but that was rude.

Stay tuned for Favorite Ships!

Ateris' redesign is finally finished!! This is his main outfit, though he has a few others at different times in the story. This is one he gets during his stay in Evenere, because his previous clothes were old and stinky >:0 It took much, much longer than anticipated to finish this because of indecisiveness among other issues. But I'm so happy it's done ahhhhh ;-;

[kurizeria]

[kurizeria]

Only in my dreams 🌒

[kurizeria]

I love Ateris!! His design is so cool, maybe you can share with us some headcanon you have about him and queen feraada?? 🥰🥰

Thank you so much aaa <33 I do have plenty of those! I realize I actually don't talk about the details much despite the story being completely fleshed out, I just post art of them sometimes jfkldgj. To make up for it, I wrote down quite a few!! :D

Faris headcanons hooray!!

When they first met, Ateris absolutely STANK omg... like wandering around in Evenere did not do him any favours and his clothes were already old and tattered and who knows when bro had bathed last. He was just kind of vibing. One of the first things she did when she took him back was get him a bath and change of clothes LMAO. Once they were friends, she later ends up commissioning someone to tailor him a new set of clothing, which is his main outfit in his redesign! Besides decorating him with obvious Evenerean fabrics, she intentionally had the hair accessory referenced off of her own crown as an extension of her authority (essentially telling her militia to back off / he is not a threat).

Early on in their friendship, Ateris protected her from an assassination attempt since he happened to be with her at the time and their friendship was a secret among a select few, so the assassin never had intel for such an anomaly. He realizes that he actually would prefer that this human does not die, so he swore he'd accompany her for her lifetime (not a big deal for him, since he's essentially immortal, but in hindsight she found it quite romantic LOL). Fareeda is a beloved and kind queen, so who would do such a thing? This is an overarching plot in their relationship as they try to uncover the would-be usurper and discover the moles among her queensguard, and it gets covered a little bit in my OCs main story (so it will be included in my upcoming webcomic). She does end up getting tutored by someone else in improving her self-defense (personally I headcanon that she was at least somewhat trained with weapons already simply due to Evenere's environment seemingly almost requiring self-defense, but she wouldn't be as familiar with assassin's dirty tricks). At times Ateris would help by acting as a would-be assassin since he's skilled with blades, though he never uses his magic against her. Obviously that training was not in preparation for an unrelated smoky assassin though oops

She introduced him to a lot of Evenere's culture, from their foods to the arts and their way of life in their isolated kingdom. He especially liked the food part! There's a little twinkle in his eye anytime a meal is served.

Because of the above though, he ended up learning to enjoy the downtime of reading with a snack. He still finds some of the fiction novels strange though. Fareeda loaned him her favourite book to read while he was overseas in Xadia (after her death, he could never bring himself to read the final chapter).

Besides some of Fareeda's closest queensguard learning of him after the earlier assassination attempt, Ateris' existence is largely unknown in Evenere and he keeps to himself. There were rumours that Fareeda had a possibly elven friend, but most assume it's unfounded (I headcanon that Evenere is more lax with elves due to their isolation (low influence from other kingdoms), so they typically don't actually care beyond curiosity. Though it being a Startouch elf is a well-kept secret).

She fell first, he fell harder. They have a bit of a will they, won't they relationship that ends up being unfulfilled due to events in canon, but his time with her still influences him greatly once they're apart.

While she just came to love him over time, there is actually a specific moment that Fareeda realized that she had fallen in love with him, which I will eventually illustrate <3

Ateris is always very gentle with her and gives affectionate gestures, but he doesn't really understand that he does these because he has romantic interest in her, since he's never fallen in love before (and for reasons in the past, it used to be impossible for him). Much like Fareeda having a moment where she knew she really loved him, there is a moment Ateris realizes what his feelings for her were as well, though it was far too late.

Fareeda knows most of Ateris' personal backstory, even if she doesn't quite understand all of it, especially about his "former self".

Over a couple centuries, Ateris amassed quite a few antiques. Fareeda just so happens to love trinkets and baubles, so many of them finally found a home with her. Notably Mira's amulet was given to her, though whether or not it helped her the way it did in the animatic depends on the timeline (though personally if they never do anything in canon that makes the animatic's story impossible, I might make the animatic's story part of my canon timeline).

Fareeda loves the Evenerean wildlife in all its terrors and wonders, even if some are very unapproachable in which she will appreciate them from a respectable distance. Ateris happens to be able to connect with quite a few of them (especially if they are connected to the Earth arcanum). This is great for Fareeda because he soothes critters and she gets to hang out with them win/win

When Ateris had to leave her side to go to Xadia for unfinished business, she gives him an heirloom of hers, a dragonfly necklace that he may return to her once his journey ends. It ends up being his most treasured belonging.

Since I don't know how long Fareeda has been queen or her exact age, I keep the exact year they met a bit vague (I like to think they would've met in her earlier years as queen, but if she became queen as a child then uhhhh no LMAO). However, they've spent a long time together. Unfortunately, though they were close to finally saying "I love you", their time was ultimately cut short.
