#woo splurges really aren't that hard if i actually just work through them slowly

[brick-a-doodle-do]

Briiiiiiiiiick

I splurged bc I suddenly really desperately wanted to explain his scars and talk about my corrupt angel boyyyy

You have been warned

He got blood magic from his dad and healing magic from his mom, but his shadow magic is his own. As for family? No. His father is gone alongside his side of the family, while his mom's family is actually from a mountain village near the city. His mom, Maya (just to give you a special treat, I gave you her name), was disowned by her family for actually giving birth to a dragon's child. Her own mother and father, which would be Irza's grampa and grama, do really miss her, along with a sibling or two. The rest of her family really hates her…but would help her in a heartbeat if they knew she was in trouble. They had to get rid of her to protect themselves, not because they actually wanted to—a couple did but the majority didn't. Irzayn was actually once told by his mom to go to that mountain villain if anything ever happened to her! Did he do it? Nope. But he WILL later on…

Ok onto Irza's shadow. It's very much alive. When he's a child it simply moves around on its own, but it will always save him if he's about to die. If he dies, so does the shadow. It takes until Irza's in highschool for it to develop into having a personality…and can turn itself into the form of a child made of shadows. And guess what? The shadow child looks exactly like Irza. It acts like Irza if he'd never been traumatized too, which makes his shadow actually very kindhearted and loves Irzayn. It feels bad for its master having lived through so much too and is something really fun. Irza can control shadows all on his own. The shadow creature can too. Essentially, the shadow on his body and that he casts on the ground is actually a living creature…so they are separate and connected at the same time. The thing is, Irzayn can fuse with the shadow creature and gain FULL access to the shadows for…until he passes out from exhaustion, basically. It takes time for Irza to accept that help from his shadow though, having thought it would be a weakness to trust even his own shadow until it was absolutely needed.

His blood magic…it's vampire stuff. He can control blood and hypnotize people. The spoiler is that only high ranking vampires have BOTH those abilities with this element, so why did it pass down to him from his dad??

Vara time!! First with something that's both of them halfway through—the scars. He gets those scars from a very very specific event. It takes a lot, and I mean A LOT, to make Vara use his claws, which he purposely files to not hurt others, on someone. It was during the betrayal arc. Vara was cornered and Irzayn wasn't listening…the cat will say he did it in self defense, and he did, but he also did it because he was absolutely enraged that Irzayn didn't believe him. So all that training Irza had been teaching Vara to help him get stronger? He used it in full force against Irzayn. The scar on his face? It actually went from the top of his head to his chin, taking a chunk of Irza's eye out when it happened. He only fixed most of it because of his healing magic, but his healing magic is limited when used on himself and the deepest and most torn parts wouldn't heal…also because he'd focused the healing on his eye and scalp instead…you could see his skull under one part. It's an understatement to say Vara was angry with him. He also has the scars on his legs from the thrones vine grabbing him…he used that vine to yank Irza closer to claw his face.

Vara got his powers from being born. Almost all races get them from just being born, angels are one of the very few exceptions. Vara just happened to inherit sprite magic stronger than beastling, and yes, he only uses the physical enhancement for emergencies because it says too much out of him. He always loses against Irzayn and his only win was the betrayal fight, where he just let loose…he passed out when the fight was over but Irza doesn't know that. The other times he's won were just Irza letting him win to either end it or give his favorite hero credit for chasing off a dangerous villain….Irzayn will absolutely shred any other hero tho, physically, with his claws.

And back to Irzayn, him destroying a city. This happens only a day or so after the betrayal fight. He uses those loops on his outfit to hook himself to his own shadows to keep himself stable, then spreads his immense shadow throughout the entire city. It just creeps across the ground, daylight or no daylight, covering the entire ground surface of the city. Then the shadow seeps into the ground and latches on, tightening and tightening until the earth buckles under the pressure, toppling skyrisers and creating canyons if he does it right. He can quite literally split the earth…the range is determined by how much mana he has and let me tell you, after how much training he's had, just by helping his mom to keep her alive, his mana capacity is extremely huge. The shadows aren't that tiring for him to use unless there's a lot of light. The only thing that happens is he'll run out of mana, but the shadow creature never does. If Void is the one fighting, it can go on much longer than Irza can. And Voidshire was blamed for the city being crushed, 100% his fault. Totally and entirely.

By strength he always wanted, where he beats Ezephr…he actually didn't become a dragon. Even the angel knows to steer clear of a feral shadow dragon. Irzayn manages to gain a physical strength that can kick the shell a tank fires and the ammo will be damaged, not his body. He fights in defense of Vara that day, after the betrayal arc. Oh, and I'd like to add that there was no love between anyone until after the kidnapping event. Vara did fall for Irza before Irza fell for Quickvine tho. Quickvine tracked Voidshire because he was a villain and actual Irza only a handful of times out of worry.

Ezephr! We all love this murderous little prince!

You mentioned the stress of attention but he doesn't feel any of that. He craves attention and entertainment. If you aren't entertaining, he kills you. If you are…hope he leaves before you aren't anymore. And yes. He is an angel. His race is anyway, I would not use that to describe him lol. And…for the most part he does kill just because he wants to. For the most part (mwahahaha, brain torture)

His power…you want to team up on him? You think no-one else has tried? Nope, doesn't work. There's a layer of existence around his body that prevents any and all otherworldly things from passing through, sometimes even some healing magic. The next barrier is his physical strength. You want to have maybe half the power of a nuke in one punch if you want to hurt him. Over analyze him all you want! Definitely do it!

Also, super short answer to all those questions about if Irza can put people in and out of his shadows, what happens when there's light where he's teleporting, and if Vara uses light against him? All of the above, yes. It's hard to say what will happen when light suddenly pops up where he's teleporting but it never hurts him. The heroes do eventually learn to use UV light traps to catch Irza since that sort of light is more potent than others.

Any other questions? :P I'm loving this

And this time I was wise and did not say anything about length....

Every find my story on my blog? The post that has it hasn't been interacted with in any sort of way which is depressing...and there's technically g/t in the story if you count fairies, which are treated quite badly just like goblins and unicorns in their world

WOOO SPLURGE TIME!!! :D

starting off strong with some familial issues- pff could you imagine giving birth to a half-dragon and literally being completely dropped and having to take care of it on your own- when did irza's mom leave his life and was there any like challenges considering he was half dragon? oh oh also do irza's grandparents ever try and reach out to him, or anyone in the family really?

wait wait wait what mountain villain? ���� IM SO SORRY MY MEMORY IS FADING AWAY SO QUICKLY ATM

did the shadow thing catch irza's mom off guard when it started fucking moving around on its own or was she expecting it? children are creepy enough we don't need a moving shadow added on :')

@smog-frog-0 THE WHOLE SHADOW PARAGRAPH REMINDS ME OF CAT AND LEO IF THEY BEFRIENDED EACH OTHER DSHFSD

that shadow this is cool asf tho- if i had that i'd get startled everytime it moved but STILL i mean it's a subtle hint of inhuman and i like it a lot :D does void ever turn on irza or are they usually just chill with each other?

"having full control of the shadows" — does that entail that theoretically, if he wanted to, he could go into vara's shadow? or say eze's? if so that'd be awesome :0

VAMPIRE PHYSIOLOGY! sooo like could he bite someone and transfer a bit of his abilities (i definitely think not but still that's quite a thought in my head JFDFSJ

ahh i didn't think about that,,,, assume you know the answer to that? alsoo are irza's powers any less powerful because only his dad had them and not his mom?

WOOO CAT BOY!! <3<3

when did irza start training vara? i imagine it'd be as civilians but i don't recall talking about that yet 👀👀

GAHHH A CHUNK OF HIS EYE? SNFJSJ JESUS- AND PART OF HIS SKULL DSXJX BGJDS GORY ASF 3D—

oh my god that is such a good trope i am such a freaking fangirl for vines or tentacles or tails or anything wrapping a person like it might be the g/t lover in me but STILLLLLL it gives me happy chemicals :D <3

was it easy for vara to develop/understand his powers or was it a rocky start?

aha i wonder how big vara's fangroup is cause...if he loses almost every single fight that'd be pretty boring for the news and honestly to see that a villain is repeatedly winning, a. it could lose the attraction of people living there/looking to live there, and b. the hero committee thingy could kick him off (is that a possibility?)

did irza let vara win bc he's fond of vara or bc he had things to attend to and didn't have time to fight-

AHH THE HOOKING HIS SHADOWS THING IS SO COOL I LOVE THAT

he can quite literally split the earth and eze is more powerful than him? that is just—asjdgjsdfkdjgds

DSNFSJD yeah that is definitely on him LMAO

ahhh jeez that is so cool- i love the non-existent limitations in fantasy :D

MM LOVE EZEPHR <333

🎶 i live for the applause, applause, applause 🎶/lyr

of course a guy like him craves the attention, that completely went over my head lmao

"if you're not entertained, he kills you" DSHFJDS THAT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD,,,,,,

oh gosh i thought the power of friendship would definitely work against him LMAO

oh gosh the barrier thing- he is so overpowered istg i'm not surprised that the power's gotten to his head 😭

i'm calling tubbo and jack to destroy him with their nukes :D (real life example of how i can't go two minutes without referencing my block men </3)

i will someday come up with an analysis on eze that'll make you discover things you didn't even think of (/j, my brain doesn't work that well)

ahhh i see, so he'll just go out of the void state if there's light that pops up?

i covered all the questions SO FAR in this, but that's not to say i won't have more in some future splurges! :D loving this asw, it's awesome to learn about this world >:DD

i haven't found the story yet (i have but i haven't read it yet), but i did find your follow button and your other story so i'm on the right track! i've got like 3 other splurges so gimmie a moment to get to those :]
