The final row is complete! Here’s the entire page, featuring @kabukiaku ‘s Alpha design! A few little peeks at their handwriting too! (Got the idea halfway through and didn’t feel like rewriting).

Wait what's that? Oh that's right, I'm also a Ghost blog!

My Ghoul headcanons! With a few I've picked up from other posts. Also, spot the Avatar (James Cameron) inspired hcs. Basic hcs

Ghouls are pack creatures. They love being together, whether it's laying around together in a Ghoul Pile, playing games, or just doing tasks around the ministry.

Packs seem like giant polycules to outsiders, but they're much more complicated than that.

The Ghouls love teasing the Siblings of Sin.

They're extremely loyal to their Papa.

When on tour, they will wear enchanted amulets that shift their appearance to appear human. This has been named "glamour".

Sometimes packs will sleep in "piles". This is usually to keep bonds strong or simply for comfort.

Ghouls mate for life, partners basically bond their life forces together.

Ghouls can mate and bond with more than one individual. This can include other ghouls and humans. Biology hcs

All Ghouls have varying shades of grey skin and spaded tails (although Water Ghouls normally have fins on their tails). They also have claws on both their hands and feet, toe pads, horns, rough forked tongues, and sharp teeth.

Their tails and ears are very expressive.

Their tails are prehensile.

Water Ghouls have "ripple" or "water like" markings, usually a shade of grey darker than their skin. They also have webbed hands and feet, finned ears, and gills.

Ghouls have a superb sense of smell, sight, and hearing. Each Ghoul has their own specific scent, that all other Ghouls can smell and recognise them by. They will also memorise smells from their favourite humans (this can include human mates).

Packmates are connected to each other via telepathy. They can tap into each other's emotions, and can talk to each other through this strong connection.

Their eyes glow in the dark. They usually have a slight glow normally, but at night they're pretty bright.

Each Ghoul can tap into the magic connected to their element, or elements.

All Ghouls have a thin layer of fur on their chest, back, biceps, and down their backs to their tail.

They all go through a type of cycle, no matter their gender.

During the colder months, the thin layer of fur they have will grow thicker. It's very soft and fluffy, but dense. Although Quintessence and Air Ghouls have a thicker coat of fur all year long. Air Ghouls have the softest fur, almost cloud like in a way. While Quintessence Ghouls have coarse, stiff fur. Ghoul Scents (Prequelle and Impera Ghouls, including my OC)

Dewdrop: Wood smoke

Aether: A soft, pleasant incense. One that doesn't tickle your nose or cause you to cough

Rain: Petrichor

Swiss: Crushed rosemary

Mountain: He smells like a greenhouse: That delicous wet warmth smell

Glacier (my OC): A warm, windy day with a hint of orange

Cirrus: Ozone

Cumulus: A cold morning wind

Sunshine: Eucalyptus

Aurora: A sea breeze

Phantom: Slightly like sweet beeswax

Teeth hcs (featuring art by me)

Water Ghouls have backwards facing serrations on their fangs, making it extremely difficult for prey to escape. This is also why they don't tend to bite their partners or pack mates.

Earth Ghoul teeth are the most similar to human teeth, the main difference being their overall strength and much longer fangs.

Fire Ghoul teeth have long fangs with sharp teeth on either side of them.

Air Ghoul teeth have a lupine appearance, with sharp incisors and sharp first molars.

Quintessence Ghouls have very sharp, strong teeth that have a sort of "classic monter" look.

Multi Ghoul teeth are a mix of the elements they are connected to (symbols are a mix of all their elemental symbols).

----------- So this is my Ghoul hc master post! I'll most likely create a post about my individual Ghoul headcanons at some point. I'll also be talking about my GhostxTF2 crossover at some point!

Back with the ghoul headcannons! But this time I’m gonna try going more in depth with the different elements the ghouls embody. Each element will get their own post and to begin, Imma talk about Quintessence Ghouls!

So the basics, Quintessence Ghouls are the healers of the Ministry, often being assigned roles such as midwives, doctors, nurses, and even counselors for the other ghouls and occasionally the humans running the Ministry. Their element is the most mysterious to the Ministry, so not much is known about them but from the records of past summons, they worked out that there are subspecies of quintessence ghouls.

First are the most common Quintessence Ghoul summoned, Moon Ghouls. Moon Ghouls are the biggest of all the Quintessence Ghouls, and also the easiest for the Ministry to handle. Omega, Aether, and Phantom are Moon Ghouls though Phantom is still growing and could be due for a growth spurt soon now that he’s in a stable environment. Moon Ghouls are fiercely loyal to who ever summons them but with a small ritual, that loyalty can be transferred to the next Papa.

Appearance wise, Moon Ghouls have more bat like traits, big leathery wings, sensitive hearing, nocturnal habits. Some are even seen using a form of echolocation. Their pack structure often follows a matriarch and inhabit the dark cave systems of the Pit, but will occasionally venture out if food gets too scarce.

Next up are Shadow Ghouls. Shadow Ghouls are far smaller than Moon Ghouls and have a bit of a rivalry with them, it being the reason not many Shadow Ghouls are summoned for the Ministry. They are also more challenging to work with, not having the same loyalties their Moon counterparts have, and if it’s a Blood Moon, yeah there will be at least one death in the Ministry.

For Shadow Ghoul’s appearances, that’s a mystery seeing they are mostly made up of a black fog like element that is in the vague shape of a ghoul. They do have the ability to take physical forms, but it’s often how the ghoul would feel in that moment. Like Moon Ghouls, Shadow Ghouls inhabit cave systems but are more solitary, not having a pack structure and only seeking company to either make kits or take down large prey items.

And the last known subspecies, and the one the Ministry has the biggest headache trying to figure out, Weaver Ghouls. The best theory is that Weaver Ghouls are the normal ghouls of each subspecies but with recessive genes, seeing they are found in both species, but are slightly more common in Moon Ghouls. They get their names from how they manipulate their element, channeling their quintessence into threads and tying them together to create web like structures.

Appearances vary the most with Weaver Ghouls, with the known ghouls who have those trait in the Ministry vary in appearances. The most drastic Weaver Ghoul they have is Omega’s father and Nihil’s Quintessence Ghoul, Tarantulas. That ghoul, though having traits of Moon Ghouls, also had strong traits of Weaver Ghouls, it mostly being his mixture of both bat and spider like traits. That boi gave the best hugs with his four arms. He also had a biting problem so often times had to wear a muzzle to keep him from chewing on furniture and doorways. As for the other Weaver Ghouls summoned, they often either took the appearance of normal Moon Ghouls or normal Shadow Ghouls.

So that was my post! By far the largest and now I have a bit of strange knowledge about Alchemy so I’m off to make this everyone’s problems! I wonder what element I’ll do next x3

Bam! Second post!

I've been trying to completely fill my pages, so I did with my nameless ghoul oc! This is Orion, they're a quintessence ghoul!

Behold, the beloved creature Usva!! I love them so so much. Thank you for commissioning and supporting me lovely!!

[varianghost]

Meet Eidolon! My newest OC! He's a trans quintessence ghoul (he/him) who was summoned to help out around the Ministry. He's been taught how to play guitar by a few other ghouls though, and has been told that if one day they cannot perform, he's allowed to take their place on stage. He secretly hopes this doesn't happen since he's a little afraid of how many people would be watching

He's relatively mischievous but shy if you're meeting him for the first time. It doesn't take long for him to get comfortable around new people though

He is a coffee ADDICT. Even if he gets a perfect, uninterrupted 10 hours of sleep, he'll still be seen drinking black coffee, or something equally as strong

Hope you enjoy this little intro to him. If you have any questions, or want to see/request something, feel free to send me an ask :)

Ghoul oc art is yummy

[crowsfinal-thought]

Me: I wanna draw

All my ghoul oc’s: will you finally draw us and give us designs???

Me: ORION AGAIN

Yes this is technically part of a page full of my ghouls, but I had this idea and thought it was funny

Nightfall, the multi-ghoul

She bounces inside of my mind like a dvd logo

[okscallion-4221]

Forgor to post

Anyways I’ve been thinking and I really like the idea of quintessence ghouls slowly disappearing and withering away and you can see the inside of them :P

This isn’t a canon character btw just something I wanted to draw

[arcaneacolyte]

“In a shot I’d swap my body for a body of water

Worry the cliff side top as a wave crashing over

I’d lower the world in a flood, or better yet I’d cause a drought

If I were a rip tide, I wouldn’t take you out.”

—Anything But by Hozier

A Surprise! Ever since I listened to the new Hozier album, OC thoughts have been running around rampant in my head, and the song ‘Anything But’ is so very Usva and Oak coded. I wanted to sketch out Usva singing, because I thought it would be nice, and they’re a vocal coach for the Abbey so it makes sense!

Usva belongs to @kuukorppi

I hope you enjoy Ruska! >:3c

Backstory:

For the first years of their life Usva lived happily in the water ghoul territory in the Pit with their parents Kuu (father) and Taika (mother). When they were 8 two mysterious ghouls broke into their den, the other one killed Usva’s father and would’ve probably killed Usva and their mother too unless it’s companion didn’t stop it. Later Usva’s mother passed from the heartbreak of losing a mate. But not before teaching Usva the traditional water ghoul mourning rituals.

Poor kit Usva tried their hardest to nurse their mother back to health.

Usva spent their formative years alone, nearly feral in the pit. Their siren charm helping them to get food and scrap clothing from other ghouls. They learned to be sneaky and quiet, letting basic instincts to take over.

One day they wandered too far from the water ghoul territory and ran into a pack of rogue fire ghouls. The fire ghouls started a hunt that lasted for days until Usva ran out of energy and got caught. The fire ghouls pinned them down and one of them swiped it’s fiery claws through their left gills, leaving them permanently damaged.

The pain, fear and shock caused their hidden quintessence and blood bending abilities to surface, killing the fire ghouls.

Usva scrambled up still bleeding, they found a weak spot in the veil and went through. They ended up in the lake at the Abbey, for a while they just stood there until passing out from the bloodloss. Although not before laying their eyes on a pair of handsome ghouls walking near the lake.

After they were nursed back to health at the Abbey infirmary, they slowly started exploring the grounds. At first they were very skittish and many times ended up hiding in the lake. The quintessence ghouls in the infirmary were assigned with training Usva with their quintessence, since Terzo wanted them along for the Popestar tour.

Usva has many friends in the Abbey and after some time they fell in love with two ghouls, Oak and Vapor, who luckily also turned out to be their mates. Year later the three have three lovely kits together and Usva couldn’t be happier with their life!
