Meet the main characters!

[surgewild]

Sunflowers grow, sunflowers wilt / searching fruitless for rays of sun / amidst their stalks, heavy with guilt / lays our dear hero, heart undone

" darling, what are you reading? "

valafar's voice is silken when he speaks up over the rasp of the turn of a page. a tiefling of onyx skin, he is a furnace against alisane's side as they sit together in the night with the crackling fire as their only light.

the book is old, crumbling at the edges, found in the pits of a broken building during one of their excursions. there is no name written in it, but the poetry is short, lovely, evocative. some pulls at his heart strings even now when he thinks about them.

valafar, ever a comfort, leans around and presses his fingers against the page. when he reads, alisane feels the words rumble rather than hearing them.

" sunflowers grow. . . "

he reads slowly, careful over each word. the crackling fire and the timbre of each line is nearly enough to lull him to sleep.

almost. there is something terrible that strikes, the deep seated squirming behind his left temple that makes him grind his teeth and bear against the sensation. when the worm whispers, it is valafar's voice.

" . . .lays our dear hero, heart undone. sweetheart, you should get some sleep. "

his lips brush alisane's forehead on the left side and it turns the affection in his gut into deep roiling nausea.

when he wakes with a start, jostling gale and getting a rumble of annoyance from wyll nearest him, the nausea remains.

(when next he looks in his things, he finds the book. searching for the poem, he finds the page has been torn out long ago, left behind in their shared home.)

When Belial found out that his brother was ticklish:

Should I write the most vulnerable points of Valafar?... Maybe I'll even write about Belial)

POV: You/Your Tav and your lover are getting ready for a fancy night out, and your lover gets to choose your outfit. What are they putting you/your Tav in?

*Cracks knuckles and dusts off screenshots* I been waiting for this moment to gush, but seriously Thank you @adorablebanite for the tag! (BTW I am obsessed with Destri's dresses omg and of course Lila's too. I love that emerald is her color and what it represents lore wise ;))

I have a Durge and a Tav as well and am in the process of making a long fic about both of them (currently working on Gortashweek fics so after that's done I will resume and start posting soon when its mostly finished b/c consistent schedules are hard lol).

My Tav is Lucid Reign a female Cambion (half-succubus) so I guess she is more of an OC then? idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this is how I just how I see her (and apparently everyone else b/c she is mistaken as a Tiefling all the time. poor thing.). My Durge, Valafar, is a changeling whose gender varies depending on the form they pick, though their preferred form is similar to cannon Dragonborn Durge but more lithe and agile in build. Pre-game events Lucid works as a bodyguard for Gortash (may or may not have filled Karlach's missing spot) and eventually for Durge. Eventually they become their own little villainous throuple ( but I don't want to spoil anything here ;) also still working out the details a bit more.)

Lucid has a tendency to be a bit...risque in her clothing choices? Given her nature she is not afraid to flaunt her body and wears lots of sheer, lacy, leather, revealing items. So while her boss tries to rein her in (ha! sorry not sorry on the name pun) for Upper City soirées but she marches to the beat of her own drum and skirts the line on dress code (see images). Valafar wears more conservative/practical clothing and tries to get out of the occasions, uncomfortable due to Durge related reasons, and nobles look tasty. (though Lucid literally drags them anyways b/c she wants to include them and can keep them calm alongside Gortash).

This would be the more 'conservative option' after much bickering and fussing they compromise on this for Upper City parties, needless to say she gets lots of stares. She doesn't mind though. Cambions love the attention and she enjoys tormenting Gortash (in a loving way of course and secretly he enjoys her boldness)

If its a more scandalous type party she would either version of these outfits:

For Valafar, they would follow the rules (dress-code?) and wear something elegant and refined and unfortunately blood stains so the one on the left goes through the ringer a couple of times and after a small fortune spent, is salvaged. The ones below are more in line with a risque party affair (in both humanoid genders but for dragonborn its the same look)

Here's the not so happy Martinez family. The drawings are a bit old but that's about it. From left to right we have Valafar, Maricella, Alexis, and you guys already know Zill.

Valafar is a dragon demon hybrid who hates commitment and being tied down but that's what he got.

Maricella is a chimera who got stuck married to Valafar after having a accidental pregnancy.

Alexis is Zill's twin sister who is manipulated by Valafar and made a arrogant attitude.

Valafar Holmes; what can you tell me about him?

Valafar is a Tiefling investigator. Based on that information alone you might not be surprised to learn that he was, in fact, inspired by Sherlock Holmes. (I like the name Holmes so I kept it.)

He was born in a village where Tieflings are revered as guardians, messengers of the gods to remind them not to repeat the sins of the past. Unfortunately, that in combination with their worship of the gods being based in very old and nearly forgotten Druidic practices tends to lead the ignorant to believe that they are devil worshipers and react violently. When Valafar was young, he was injured when a barn he was hiding in during a raid was set ablaze by the misguided invaders. The burn healed in an odd spiral pattern.

Some other fun facts about Valafar:

He is a devil’s tongue variant Tiefling. In his case that means he has incubus/succubus ancestry.

Due to the above point, his unique scar is often the last thing people notice about him.

His home village was built around a fey crossing and consequently, Valafar is quite knowledgeable about the fey and even speaks sylvan.

Many of the village’s buildings are made of materials from the feywild including the barn that Valafar was hiding in which is why his scar is the way it is.

I'm curious about Valefor and Neeve! You mention that they are part demon and have a natural instinct/need to fight because of this. Could you tell me more about that? How were they created? Were they brought up in any sort of traditional fahrar, or were they raised separate from charr culture as private assassins? Thanks!

Sure! I'm happy to talk about them ;V;

The whole "They part Demon"-Thing came with SoTo, even with them being Demons in their Original AU.

They were "created" by Israfil (More about him here || Or #Israfil), who infused them with his own demon essence. Isarfil himself stems from a different Realm (not the one from SoTO, probably some "Only the fittest will survive" / Ice-Themed Realm.)

Let me get a snippet from the linked post above:

Before the release of SotO he was planned as a lesser Dragon Servant. Nothing special. Now I’m thinking about him being a lesser Demon. It would fit even more. He got in touch with a lot of magic. That changed him. Even more, when he crashed into a Charr by accident. He devoured him and took on his appearance - allowing him to walk among the mortals. But he yearns for more and more magic. He feast on it, like a parasite. He lives to survive and to expand. In the beginning it was just that - feasting on magic. But with the time he grew more and more hungry. And the more Magic he devoured,… the more he evolved from a mindless creature into a thinking being. At the same time his taste changed. Magic alone was not enough anymore. He started devouring other creatures, too. With the newly acquired foresight, he started to planing out his moves, how he get more of the things he needs. With that he created the training ground, to train his very own Pawns. First only to feast on them - later to train them to fetch him magic. Be it raw, in artifacts or… people.

So yeah, they were raised far away from their people, in a kind training camp. Israfil raised his own pawns there. At first to feast on them - later to let these pawns work for him. With that era, he started to infuse his pawns with his essence - in part to make them stronger, so they can serve him better. But also to have better control over them.

But this essence has effects on these infused Charr like Valefor or Neeve.

For Valefor he is able to summon his "mask" at will. In reality this Mask is not just a Mask - he unknowingly transformed part of himself into this demon form. It's later during the Events of SoTo, that he learns he is part Demon. Its when he enter Nayos the first time and his whole body changes to this demon appearance.

I made a concept of this here (Beware of possible SoTo Spoilers):

The Design is not final - but the basic concept will probably stay like it is. Demon with red and hard skin and some fancy blue glow when he charges up for an attack. Or the Emotions start to boil up.

For Neeve it's different. She is not able to control her demon appearance. She partly transform into this when she gets enraged. I wanted to make an image for that, but wasn't happy with the sketches so far. But I will give it another try in the future and upload it here on tumblr!

The only thing Valefor and Neeve have in common is ther Guardian Magic. Their flames are not burning like normal fire. They more like very special ice magic - like ice flames.

That's so far the idea / background of the "part Demon" Stuff with Valefor and Neeve ;v;

I've been in the Cuphead Show fandom for a long time. I have drawn merges many times, or the future generation of characters. But now I'm hooked on it again!

A year ago (or maybe 2), I couldn't watch the Cuphead Show anywhere, the sites either didn't load, or there was a lot of advertising, or the video itself was buggy. But recently I was able to watch the show, and it pleases me 🙃

And here are 2 merges (although no. I made them as a "future generation")

These are two brothers: Belial and Valafar. Maybe someone has already guessed, they are "like children" of Dyavod and Dice 😸

Initially, they didn't look like that. As a child, I just copied them from a picture found in Yandex, without even knowing the Author of the drawing... But now I've made these little demons adults (about 14-15 years old), changed them as much as possible, even in color, and now they don't look like some kind of "stolen characters".
