Saying it again because I think people are misinterpreting; Murph is not my sona/self insert!! We are both nonbinary and that's basically where the similarities end. Yes they carry parts of me just by virtue of being my creations, but they are not meant to represent me in any way. They're just a cool funky creature I made up

I love how Tumblr works. Someone recently came across some old ass fanart I posted in 2016 and reblogged it and now it's doing the rounds again like I posted it this week. Timestamps mean nothing on this website. Fan content expiration date who?

Ref sheet for my Grimwalker OC Ambrose!! Lore under the cut but he's still in development so some of it may change

According to Emperor Belos Ambrose was “found” washed up on the shore of the Boiling Isles amid a shipwreck. It was concluded that Ambrose came from another far-off island, but with no other survivors and no memories prior to waking up, there was no way of knowing where he came from. Belos gave him a home in the castle and allowed him to train as a scout, and he was promoted to the rank of Golden Guard within a year.

As a Grimwalker, Ambrose was one of Belos’ great successes. He was almost “perfect”, i.e., quick to learn, compliant, loyal, and free of physical deformities, save for symbrachydactyly in his right hand. Disgusted by this “defect”, considering it a failing of his own, Belos told Ambrose it was the result of an injury during the shipwreck, and fashioned him a prosthetic hand with an artificial magic core embedded in the palm. This allowed Ambrose to learn the basics of magic, and because the hand looks like a gauntlet most people do not know he is not a “natural” witch, a rarity among the former Golden Guards. Because of Belos’ high expectations and harsh judgements, Ambrose was incredibly hard on himself over tiny mistakes and feared being perceived as anything less than the perfect devout follower.  He has a shaky sense of his own identity - he feels like a foreigner, but has no connection to his past or his homeland. He fears learning the truth and avoids going too near the sea.

As part of his indoctrination, Belos fed Ambrose old stories from the human world about brave knights and the divine right of kings, like the Knights of the Round Table and St George, and Ambrose became obsessed with them. He loved the concepts of chivalry and great heroes, and began to see himself as the brave Lancelot standing beside King Arthur, and the evils of wild magic were to be defeated like the dragons of old. While this did strengthen his loyalty to Belos it also gave him a sense of duty to the common folk as their protector, and he loved being among the normal residents of the isles more than being stuck in the castle. He gained a lot of respect from the common folk, as he was just as likely to rescue a child from a tree as slay a dragon. He was given the moniker “The Golden Lion”, partly due to his appearance and partly for his displays of bravery.

Ambrose was a skilled warrior and a ruthless fighter. Blinded by his loyalty, he relished in pursuing and defeating Belos’ enemies, believing himself to be the arbiter of justice. It wasn’t until he became close to other witches at court, including the skeptical and brooding Darius, that he started to realise his own hand in people’s suffering and question Belos’ orders. He confronted the Emperor, announcing he could no longer carry out his duty as the Golden Guard, and tried to leave, but was imprisoned. When Belos realised that Ambrose was no longer loyal to him, he gave him one last chance to pledge allegiance. Ambrose refused, despite Darius’ advice, and was executed for treason… (or was he?)

Still fairly new to reading through all the Steve/Murph stuff of yours even though I've been following you forever so apologies if any questions have been asked before or are obvious aha! How do they both feel about their scars? Any that they're proud of, hate, indifferent towards? And how do they feel about scars on the other person? (Find them sexy, terrifying, indifferent etc,,)

Under the cut in case people don't want to read about injuries (nothing graphic and no images!)

Steve is indifferent to most of his scars - most of them are pretty mundane in origin, either from workplace injuries, training or minor scuffles on the job, and he doesn't have many feelings towards them except "ouch, I remember that hurting". There are only two scars with any real weight. The first is the one on his forehead where his horn got snapped off - it used to be a source of shame and humiliation and he kept it covered up. It's the symbol of his childhood friendship with Murph ending in the most violent way possible and the way he feels about the scar over time is mirrored in how he feels about Murph. The second is the sigil burn left over from the Day of Unity - because he was so close to the epicenter he was affected more than others, and the marks go all up his arm and his jawline. He has a tiny bit of nerve damage in his wrist and a lot of phantom pains and nightmares - it was the most pain he's ever felt and the most scared he's ever been, but it's also a reminder that he survived, and they won, and the world is better now

Murph has a lot of scars, mostly from their time as the Rustwarden. Some they're indifferent about but some are deeply associated with trauma (the ones on their ankles, neck and ribs from their time in prison, for example) and they don't like acknowledging or touching them. The one on their face is from Steve (during a fight when they didn't know it was him) and they're less bothered about it than Steve is; they've told him to stop feeling guilty about it but it's hard for him to let go. The only scars they're "proud" of are their forehead star because it's got a funny childhood story and their power glyph brands, because those were self inflicted and even though they don't use them anymore they think they still look pretty cool. Sometimes they think about disguising or otherwise removing all their scars and starting from scratch, because they worry about not being attractive with so many markings, but ultimately they've decided that removing them would feel like pretending that part of their life didn't happen and that might not be very healthy for them

I think the main way they both feel about each other's scars is sad, and protective. Not just for the ones they inflicted on each other, although there's plenty of them, just a general sense of looking at their partner's body and realising they've had a tough life up until now, and been through a lot of pain, and they don't want it to happen ever again. There's a lot of scar kissing and nervous touching and weepy apologies in the early stages of their relationship
