my main ocs family tree... a lot of my main ocs are just in the same family lol

the numbers below their name are the year they were born + their age

random ramblings below, they don't really make much sense unless you've read on my ocs:

they actually have a significant amount of starkins in their family which is interesting since they're basically god like beings

but most of them don't actually interact with them and are more so related by association

Eva has a starkins last name though which is cool

but since she's not actually a Starkin she doesn't pass on names the same way, more so just the traditional way

Caster is a lunet and her "sister" (Lum) is her kindle (kindles are infant Starkin) which she watches after

Shapeshifters (for example Avery is the only shapeshifter in this family) are more so considered an extension of their starkins further spreading their rays of light, instead of being considered their children even though Starkin do birth them

but Avery has mommy issues an has a unique one-sided relationship with his Starkin or "mother"

Lunets are also seen as an extension of their starkins hence the reason why a group of lunets is called a dedication

They're quite literally diplomatic nurses who care for kindles

More Avery Stuff:

Back on Avery, the reason Sol (Starkin of Earth) is actually relevant to Avery is because when Avery was a child his mother (the Starkin Lo Sura) sent him down to earth so she didn't have to deal with him because he's a type b shapeshifter (aka the independent) and too much work

so basically he has this huge grudge against the sun because his mom preferred her over him and then imprisoned him in her castle

normally a shapeshifter wouldn't have this kind of relationship with their starkin it would actually be considered weird to be this attached to your Starkin especially if you're a type b

Avery was stuck on earth for like

100s of years

he's like 600-800 years old chronologically but shapeshifters age differently from us so

it's also unique shapeshifter to shapeshifter

basically he was stuck on earth until space travel was created he finally escaped earth when they traveled beyond their galaxy

he could have aged faster maturity wise considering he's seen countless wars and revolutions and innovations but he was literally so stubborn he spent a lot of his life in the wilderness and in caves and shit

my oc selen at 21 (currently in the timeline shes dead, from an inflicted wound, she died at 69)

shes an antagonist in one of my main stories, the one involving tyraphs

Selen infodump:

Design Notes:

I wanted Selen to look less motherly than a minerotyra queen/princess would normally look like. I took Eve (as in the one in the bible and also Eve from No Straight Roads) as inspiration, but with the thought of her being malicious and with ill-intent. Femme fatale is probably the right term to describe her. Siren also comes to mind.

Tyraphs typically have 3 pairs of breasts but Selen has a hormone disorder that makes her only have one, pushing the idea of her being not a bringer of life, but a bringer of pleasure, pain, and death even further.

Heres her daughter Opal mentioned ahead, in contrast:

Opal has her own set of mental issues because it runs in her family, but she wasnt raised by Selen, neglected by her even. Opal was raised by milk nurses and isnt a antagonistic character in the story, but she is neutral.

Shes mostly just done with everything and embarrassed because of the mess her mother created.

They do look related obviously but her design is meant to contrast Selen to kinda symbolize breaking the cycle of generational trauma from her family, in a sense Selen not caring about her and not acknowledging her existence is what saved her.

Selen Info:

Selen is a minerotyra princess, she was born when there was peace between all the tyraph kingdoms.

Selen was raised by her aunt, the queen's younger sister. Being in her older sister's shadow all her life she took out her frustrations onto Selen, projecting onto her.

Selen for the most part didn't get effected by this emotionally, but she did learn from her aunts behaviour, and understood for some reason she was weak and inferior.

As she got older she slowly became more and more jealous of her aunt, which met its breaking point when her aunt killed her mother, to inherit the throne.

Her reign was short lived, and Selen followed her aunts footsteps, to a more extreme degree, torturing her close to death for decades until she finally died and Selen being the next in line, became queen.

She met her girlfriend Faun, a clantyra princess, lovebombing her and making her isolate from everyone around her. Eventually Faun, being a princess, was forced to follow her royal duties after failure to produce a suitable heir (will be explained in another post), and spent less and less time with Selen, enraging her.

Faun tried her best to make up for it by trying to see Selen as much as she could but one day she brang one of her friends to hang out with Selen.

Selen, already being on edge, grew jealous of her friend and stalked her until finally she killed her swiftly and silently, disposing of her corpse where no one would find her, but not without taking a necklace Faun gave to her.

Faun grew depressed after the disappearance of her friend and would go to Selen for comfort, until one day she saw the necklace around her neck, terrifying her and making her flee from Selen forever.

Over the years they grew resentment towards eachother, and as soon as they inherited the throne the minerotyra and clantyra kingdoms were in all out war, threatening other species of tyraphs as alot of them were caught in the crossfire.

Still after all this time Selen was extremely obsessed with Faun, even her daughter Opal bears resemblance to Faun because of Selen obsessively picking partners that looked like Faun, both male and female, though it often led to many deaths as Selen's rage engulfed her.

69 Selen (shortly before her death) next to 21yo Selen

(ignore the fact they look like two completely different people these were drawn at least a year apart.. holding back tears)

very rough sketch of a vilar family having dinner

they're amused by the baby because he's determined to eat just like the adults because his teeth came in

more notes below:

the mom next to him has a elevated eating bed because she's breastfeeding a baby similar in age to him

the young boy who is practicing bad dinner manners (by sitting on his eating bed and not laying down) is simply trying to seek attention because he's no longer the baby of the family x2

this is a very simple standard family meal that consists of dipping bread (the varies sections of the bread are to dip them into different things) with a couple of different "dips" (stews, broths and some sweeter porridges/purees), similar to the bowls with multiple bowls attached to them, the pots have different sections to make it easier to make different things at the same time

the hot drinks are a form of alcohol

family dynamics of everyone recognizable in the image just for fun

the first person is the father of the baby next to him, and he's siblings with the woman next to them

the baby under her and the kid next to her are her children

the person at the end is their cousin

I haven't drawn vilar very often

some old art of them

EXTREMELY outdated ^

The Mos! They are one of the two extinct species/ancient cultures of the continent Omuin. Worshippers of death and the afterlife, they were hunted to extinction by the Gamaian Empire as they were seen as they were initially a militaristic threat to the Gamaian's, and later discovered to be a delicacy.

Enith’s cities are massive. With winding, maze-like paths and layers upon layers of buildings, they’re also very easy to get lost in.

Many of Enith’s oldest cities, founded by Corldaxians, had begun as submerged or fully underground towns. Many dark-age cultures believed tunneling to be the safest form of architecture. This did help to protect them from aerial predators, but as the march of technology began anew the Corldaxians discovered better defenses, and new building styles.

The ground floor of many Enithian cities were built long ago, but are seen as more modern than the historic submerged sections.

The paths on this section are often more complicated than those underground. The sudden population boom at the beginning of the second space age meant that many buildings were built all at once, with little care as to how a city may look in the end.

Higher levels were built later still, after the discovery of other sapient species living on Enith.

Skyscrapers and roost-towers, these levels were made for both the original Corldaxians and their flying cousins. Some buildings, in the higher mountains, even reach heights that make it difficult to breathe. Very few of these sections are fully walkable, since the buildings are spread out far enough to allow for flight between them.

All of these images would be of one city and three eras worth of architectural styles. The styles here are typical of the major northeast island, which is by vast majority populated by Corldaxians. Other areas, other islands, and other cultures (outside of the majority Corldaxian one of the early second space age) all have different architectural styles.

University always causes me to have an art lag, but here they are, my revised Yaris! Previous design under the cut. Yaris live as secondary citizens under the Stihro, who conquered their dragon leaders for the mountains. Nowadays they are used as manual labour, or "decorations" depending on the social status of their masters.
