"The first rule's not to let the pain stop you."

< #OC, #MVRP Account>

(🎨-Takesu)

Name: Viru
Gender: Male
Species: Hybrid - Ryujin and Nagarite (Features of Dragon and Shark)
Height: 7'10"
Description: A hybrid creature from Bayanari, a desert city by the only river in his region, and flows around The Sacred Tree: Rupa, that the four guards of the city protect.

Using his unique combination of steam-based abilities and unique skills in music through a special Bansuri flute, he had become the Guardian of The West Gate.

Outside of his duties, he assists his uncle in transports of gems across the land from his shop, as well as playing for the city crowds to ease their nerves with specialized, enchanting tunes.

Due to his biology, it causes his body to be at irregular temperatures that, if not properly maintained, could cause him to be in grave danger. It was his uncle that provided two gems that assist him in controlling both elements.

It is an astounding gift, these soul crystals. Your world is blessed to have them.

Still, they seem dangerous if used too much.

A healthy option. The mind can only take so much in before it requires rest.

Was it as much of a shock to you as with I when I first stepped foot in such a city?

The First Magus @midnightvespers.bsky.social · Sep 7

There is something strange about these cities of metal and glass.

I can understand the appeal--yet they feel alien.

-- It has been a tiring month and now that it's over I can get back to enjoying this space and drawing again. I hope people don't mind my absence!

—I wanted to draw him injured and limping away but I couldn’t get the lean to look right so this is what we get. Also I started to draw the beads on his turban but remembered that @unowarutsu.bsky.social stole those so I got to be lazy

— I saw this and felt like maybe trying to sketch it? I made him a bit more like Steiner’s armor and just splashed some colors from Vivi’s palette to experiment with. Hope you don’t mind!

Turning his gaze, he glanced in the direction of the watcher, careful to not make eye contact. Not yet. Instead, just a look and a brief scan to see if said watcher would look away—a very human thing to do.

And whatever it was this presence didn’t feel ‘human’. not quite.

The First Magus @midnightvespers.bsky.social · Aug 10

He’d heard phrases like ‘Cosmo Canyon’ or ‘Advertising some play’ or ‘how does he keep his whites so white?’ (The last one amused him because the streets were indeed filthy and it was only magic that kept his robes clean).

No, he was aware of someone with /intent/ watching him. He paused.

One did not go through a war and the frontline without learning to trust their instincts and hone their awareness.

And he was aware in that moment that he was being watched.
Many eyes had followed him in the streets to this point—he was an oddity, he knew.

Yazoo @remnantallure.bsky.social · Aug 8

+ Yet this one… Caught Yazoo in a moment of awe, there was something in the way they dressed. Unfamiliar. Intriguing. He supposed he ought to look away, as humans do. But he didn’t. He simply watched, silent and still, as quiet questions began to stir beneath the surface.

The First Magus @midnightvespers.bsky.social · Aug 10

“Then don’t. The past is behind us and the future lies ahead. Whether it is good or bad, as I told you once, is entirely up to you.”

He glanced at the ground, feigning a look of curiosity, looking for something that wasn’t there.

“Strange…But they aren’t here…”

The First Magus @midnightvespers.bsky.social · Aug 10

Not in the romantic fashion of novels at least; it was a means to travel from one place to another.

“Are there many of you? Merchants, perhaps?”

The First Magus @midnightvespers.bsky.social · Aug 10

“Just concerned for a man in the sun.”

Seeing now that the fellow was whole enough to stand and stretch, Minwu did relax. He decided to bypass the lecture and moved on to something else.

“Your crew—then you are a sailor?”
He’d not seen any airships and the idea of sailing had never appealed.

- fine.

Pulling himself to his feet, he stretched his arms up into the sky and yawned loudly.

“Yeah I’m fine, came here with my crew. An’ you? Ya seem worried.”

Finding the notion appealing to speak with a creature so friendly, he nodded.

“Then I suppose I would ask why you are so far away from the mountains. This doesn’t seem to be your home.”

He gestured to the very green hills around them.

Field Notes, Second Cycle

There are no tomes here. No temples.
Only signs: how the wind catches cloth, how footsteps echo in unfamiliar stone.

I treat it like a battlefield. It helps.

I would welcome a familiar face. Or even an honest stranger.
