ivy has the next big paragraph after zane, so here we go!

i’m gonna try to put it in order, but again, eventually there are so many notes that i can’t keep track very well

iverline ‘ivy’ vide, she/they {alternate paragraphs} cis, homoromantic/sexual. 27 at the start of season 2

she’s half enderbeing and half human. she has the abilities of an enderbeing, which means she has natural magicks, but is half dead

they have a habit of wearing long sleeves because, due to the vivus mortem, their body is usually cold to the touch

her cousin lilith wi’ic, usually called lily, used to hang out all the time around the stone wall that separates the farms and main town. they found alex floran playing with some bugs and asked if they could find some blowballs {puffy dandelion} together so the three could make wishes

{8} when ivy was getting a better grip on the teleportation magick she inherited from her father, she went a little too far one day and ended up in a snowy courtyard. realizing she heard voices and saw swords she tried to hide behind a pillar. as she heard them coming closer, sounding like teenagers, panicking in the last second, she got home and felt like throwing up from the adrenaline. her parents were worried sick when she was gone and adrianne scooped her child into a hug while quin held both of them. ivy didn’t teleport, or practice, for years {picked it back up around 12}

{7} when they were inspecting their eyebags, that they noticed never went away, they went up to their mother {adrianne koribella, 37} and asked. she happily revealed that their father was an enderbeing! ivy was shocked to their core. their stepfather, quin gilson {36}, rushed into the room and reminded addie that they were going to sit down and talk about this. ivy was so distraught that they went to their best friends, alex and lily, for comfort

{13} the three wanted to grow up and sell flowers, bouquets with/out meanings, or singulars in their hometown of gra’mira. one day ivy was on the lookout for dust flowers after a nearby quarrel between neighboring villages. as they were picking them from the stems and trying to get as much of the roots to replant, they found an abandoned scythe. the sickly magenta glow radiating magick... it felt familiar. when they came back their friends were just expecting a basket full of flowers but found ivy twirling said scythe easily with a smile. the girls knew that their childhood dream was just that, but would work towards it anyway until they couldn’t and would have to face reality

when ivy applied herself for guard academy and gave goodbyes, janus was doing their routine of checking the new seasons recruits. when zane asked for the report and heart of a girl with auburn hair who practically danced with a scythe, he remembered the kid who had felt like a mirage in the snow with vylad, he knew she had to be bumped up on the list of jurors. janus was then instructed to keep a close eye on her and to mark down her progress in training and combat

one day when ivy was visiting home, after feeling eyes on them as they practiced in the towns guard grounds, alex ran up with a letter. it had the o’khasis {and by extension irena} symbol in the wax. lily was running up when the letter was torn, ivy peeled off the stamp first of course, and jumped for joy when reading the recommendation by high priest zane himself. as the teenagers fell to the ground laughing in relief, janus left knowing zane was going to have an easy time convincing them to join and stay

ivy waited years. of course, she wouldn’t wish ill will- especially towards one of the ru’aunian protectors! but still, the letter started to feel like an empty promise... so many opportunities had been willingly passed up. romances, jobs, friendships, events- all were dismissed in case the letter were to come while she was out. she remembers the feeling of sitting by the window in that damn rocking chair, waiting for a postman. waiting for a sign. alex would still visit, of course, and ever since lily got married it was getting hard to see her. alex would update ivy on lily, town activities, and what was going on in the world. ivy would thank her while cleaning the tea dishes, and every single time it was too tempting to take her old friend’s hand and step out of the house, to experience life again... irena lend your strength, it was tempting.

the day janus walked up to ivy’s door and hand delivered The letter, it was snatched up with a muttering of “i’ll get dressed.” janus stepped inside with a confident smile and sat on the couch. the green patterned walls and doily on the back of the couch were a testament to how the new recruit was doing. looking around they noticed that the doorways were slightly taller than average to compensate ivy’s height. ivy opened the door, almost slamming it into the wall, janus knew that it was going to be easier than they thought to make sure they would never leave the jury

the introduction ceremony for ivy was the first, as some of the jurors had not returned. it was lavish, covered in gold and silver with accents of green. ivy hadn’t pressed her hair strawberry in a while so the public would have a clean slate to pick apart at their leisure. zane didn’t look a day over 36. ivy walked with her head held high, making constant eye contact with her soon-to-be boss. zane liked the confidence, and how it would crumble under his grip. when presented with the magenta sash and announced Iverline the Poison Scythe, the crowd erupted in cheers and yelling. ivy walked back down the path catching dark red, almost black eyes and a long braid by the innermost edge of the banner rolled out on the ground. her smile was trying to interrupt the message of the tears

after ivy was introduced to the jury and people wouldn’t recognize them, some townsfolk would start to make fun of them. they would unloop the condensed scythe, which looked like a baton, as a warning. if they pushed further their final warning was the glowing magenta spike that would come out of the top after the ‘baton’ elongated. if they continued, they would soon find their sight filled with almost white light near their face and an irate juror at their throat and a demand to shut up before they lose their voice box

once on a mission for zane overseas, the waves were harsh alongside the storm, and couldn’t find the crew when she woke up on a beach. she felt eyes from a nearby palm tree and prepared for a fight. apparently, after the dust had cleared, she had pinned a sprite to the ground on their home island. ivy teleported so she didn’t have their knee on the sprite’s back and scythe in their line of sight. the sprite’s name was teony and almost threw out the intruder, but something told her not to once she heard the fast apologies and offerings from the soaked guest, who’s skin seemed to be steaming slightly. they shook hands and exchanged pleasantries and became fast friends, confiding in each other and sharing stories from their lives

you’re all getting zane because he had the big first paragraph and no one gave any specificities!! also i’ll be putting a few ages at the start of paragraphs/by names {mostly for me to get a feel for time stuff since i hate character age garbage <3}

zane ro’meave, he/him, cis no romo/sexuality label, 36 at the end of season 1

he’s the youngest because i thought it was like that when i was watching as kid

the ro’meave children loved playing in the snow, zane was the best snowman decorator

when vylad {15} had come back after being pinned as dead a lot had happened. zane {12} can’t remember much of that day except that his mother was missing and that his father gave him a nasty scar along his right eye and impeded his vision

when zane {16} was in the practice grounds he saw long wavy auburn hair, and as soon as he rounded the pillar it was gone. zane would remember the small glimpse of the person he saw when he was an adult

his final test to prove to his father that he could rule o’khasis was to ‘deal’ with falcon claw. he did all as instructed, and felt no remorse when he heard screams of innocents from the fires as he rode away on his horse

he became a priest for two main reasons. 1. to get out of an arranged marriage, since priests couldn’t be married and 2. him and his spouse really didn’t like eachother

when he was at ‘priest training’ as him and his classmates called at, he found how easy it could be to use people to his advantage

he doesn’t like to be called ‘father zane’ and likes the more important sounding title that ‘high priest zane’ gives, as it also shows how high up he is on the ‘scale of religion’, again being his words

he doesn’t take worship seriously, and when he finds out there are reincarnations and that he is related to the reincarnations of esmund and kul’zak while not being one himself he feels furious.

im gonna go in paragraph-ish order now this is a lot more difficult to make nice than i thought it was gonna be lol, and this is it trying to be even ‘nicer’

also you might see my brain devolve throughout this, thats just me being tired since im writing all this late at night lol

so. kiki, emmalyn, and aphmau. what do they have in common that relates to zane? they show intense emotions iguessBUT! emmalyn is very standoffish as she had heard about him through her connections through her fellow scholars, kiki basically thinks of him as an animal that needs love and care, and aphmau knows that he is up to basically nothing good {he determines how he interacts with someone based on their reactions to his introductory teasing which is partially how him and janus got close}

he thinks kiki is the best option for the pendant experiment. the way it works here is that it needs a beings blood on it and it mixes all of the dna together and makes a child. zane didn’t know this when he was burning down the eastern wolf tribe and stomped on bodolf’s paw as he reached for it; eventually when janus reported back on his ‘child’ they noted the child had werewolf ears and a tail as zane understood what he did wrong immediately, although he had no way to correct this when he learned about it

{34} on the topic of child experiments {lol what a combo of words} alexis was another one. he read up on shadow knights and how if they were turned soon after they were born something would happen. since this something was undefined he had to find out for himself, so when he heard about the newborns in phoenix drop he had an idea

all priests have the symbol of irena somewhere on their body to show their dedication, zane chose the back of his neck so he wouldn’t see it all of the time

he sits as the obsidian father in the jury of nine, because everyone is under his ‘care’. he looks over all of the paperwork and looks over candidates, he is known amongst the jury to bump up those who is seem promising, such as iverline. he is also the speaker for the group and is stuck on a rotation of meeting hells for a lot of the time which impedes his traveling, so he uses the jury for whatever he needs

he also had to break them to a certain point to get them to work under him without making them resent him. janus was easy as the two are naturally close, jeoffery was about an intermediate difficulty and katelyn fought but fell into line soon after meeting jeo, lillian was more mental manipulation focused, kim and ken are indebted to zane, june was excelling in the most famous guard training camp in ru’aun and was ecstatic to join from the reputation of the jury, and ein was just basically stocked to be himself i guess

also, fun fact, continuing on the ‘getting people to do what he wants’ and stuff, he gets touchy/in personal space/flirty to throw them off guard and has never followed through with this. he is a priest after all, to think he would do such a thing is blasphemous!

he uses his connection to the patron irena and their friends above religious locals and people

when zianna tried to ‘save’ him {17} from garte, he dismissed her and reported to his father. he rarely saw her after this and was one of his last regrets before losing himself

jeoffery was instructed to talk with the phoenix drop kid at the academy, because young minds are easily malleable, he {zane, 34} thought it would be helpful to try and get him on the jury’s side. brian, who was called velius at the meetings and between jurors and told them to treat velius like the little brother of the group. he gave false promises to the kid, and the night he was going to leave for home zane called him in and handed velius a communication amulet between him and the jury; the kid was ecstatic and, eventually, when he let it slip he was sent to the royal o’khasian jail

once he was out of irena’s dwelling {irene dimension} he called back the jury, some came running back after missing him for so long and others, like iverline, were summoned since they were at the top of the waiting list

when aphmau finds out she is the direct reincarnation of irena she holds it above his head, and he despises it with his very being. it gets even worse when he finds out the group are more reincarnations, he is practically livid.

when it came to kiki he was very good at playing the pitiful-boy card, for emmalyn he played the demanding-overlord-with-a-soft-heart and would hang around the library, and with aphmau he would always stand a little too close and get too touchy with them as he would push him off

the baby shower present he gave alexis, a maroon teardrop necklace, he knew it had something to do with shadow knights from janus and lillian, his eyes and ears of information. the only similarities between the reports were shadow knight energy, netherrack, youth, and proximity to obsidian. when he saw that alexis had turned into a fully-grown shadow knight he thought she would be under his control and mentally developed, as he was about to hit her for not listening to him and being sluggish aphmau got him in his bad eye and started cussing in olden tongue {more on that in another post} and alexis snapped out of it as he stumbled backward; least to say he was not pleased and marked her on his list. after this molly came down and helped with the situation as best she could

okay nighty night i have school in like 6 hours lol

so before i second think myself im posting these {nakano won't look like this forever, that was a test run from the cg/beatrice too since her design is giving me crap, the vance one was just something funny i wanted to make, also cassidy is kinda fun to draw}

i liked the whole sticker thing it was cute :)

oh shit the aphmau hold on--

her full name is alice ortega, but she goes by allie

so i made a shorthand guide for customized uniforms that i made up, and i saved time by using self made bases so that was good

also i have a terrible disease called ‘get attached to characters that show up for 1 second’

no none of the heights are correct either ✌

i dont feel up to doing this but i will later, its an old sketch i gave a bg and colored in

hey kids,,, be careful when designing because this can happen and then you feel like you have to replicate it perfectly again ✌
