Campaign 2 is upcoming and I initially designed Threnn in 2021(oof) so I thought she was due for a revamp. I'm looking forward to playing her SO BAD, I'm SO READY.

Also pictured: her wildfire spirit, Cinderis, who I've finally managed to design.

Zephrine's Various Children

So now that the campaign is over (And before the dragon age brainrot overtakes me tomorrow), I can actually show off Zephrine's no-longer-hypothetical children! Zephrine adopts her first right after the campaign and then has her first bio kid about 10 years post-campaign, and goes from there. She doesn't exactly settle down in that she's still very very very politically active as that's her life's passion, but she does enjoy a nice, if unconventional family life while she's continuing to be a girlboss.

The art is a bit old for most of these but you'll get the idea, have a rough summary of each below:

Arrian Shaxarn- lawful neutral -they/them. fire genasi- blue draconic bloodline sorcerer/assassin rogue. (belongs to @greyfen)

The first of Zephrine's children, a former assassin who was reincarnated by Zephrine after they met their gruesome end at the hands of a vampire. They're in their mid 20s(late teens equivalent for fire genasi) when they meet Zephrine, which initially made her a bit bemused and apprehensive when her newlywed husband Viseryn suggested they adopt them after the defeat of the Midnight Sun. Initially it was proposed as a means to grant them citizenship in Tiamyra faster, but ultimately the two consider Arrian as one of their own and are very supportive and close. As far as Arrian themself; they're very thoughtful, polite and kind, though they do have a slight vain streak befitting someone with dragon blood. They end up being quite politically active and have similar views to Zephrine, which means they get along quite well, and they're very supportive of each other. Overall they're quite grateful to both Zephrine and Viseryn for the opportunity at a literal new life that doesn't involve being a tool of an assassin guild.

Marciel Celestine DuPrei- she/they/he-  gold dragonborn -chaotic good- swashbuckler rogue/circle of the shepherd druid

Marciel is Zephrine's first biological child and only child with Florian. She was unplanned, which combined with Zephrine's political career meant that socially she may as well be a bastard (Zephrine is married to Florian but unofficially, her official marriage is to Viseryn, though she loves them both. The polycule isn't entirely secret but not publicly broadcast either. It's complicated), and therefore she was mostly raised by other people, predominantly Therila and Florian. She has a bit of a complex about this and thus her relationship with her mother can be a bit contentious and Marciel generally avoids her when she can. As for them, they're rebellious, hedonistic and arrogant but good-hearted and fall into the life of an adventurer quite easily as they very much enjoy fighting monsters, helping the downtrodden, and being the center of attention.

Circe Shaxarn- she/her- aasimar(abishai)- lawful neutral- Cleric of Tiamat, arcana domain 

Circe is the first bio child that Zephrine has with Viseryn, and due to her lineage + being an aasimar, she has a lot of expectations placed upon her shoulders. While her parents are very supportive and understanding, she unfortunately is somewhat of a public figure and some people get pretty weird ideas about her and her future. Some even go so far as to believe she's some sort of Chosen One, which Circe, as someone who wants to succeed on her own merits, hates. She's an intellectual and very passionate about magic and faith, but lacks the charisma of her mother or her siblings and hates being the center of attention. Despite being a bit grumpy as a person, she still shares Zephrine's more idealistic version of Tiamat, and is quite idealistic in general, even if she's bad at showing it. She wants to invoke change, but she wants to avoid harsher methods of doing so where she can. She argues a lot with Kallista and Marciel but gets on well with Arrian.

Kallista Shaxarn- she/her, red dragonborn, true neutral, green draconic bloodline sorcerer (belongs to @greyfen)

The second bio child between Zephrine and Viseryn and the youngest overall, Kallista is charismatic, mischievous, and ambitious. Feeling somewhat in the shadow of her other siblings, she's definitely the Loudest of them and like Circe wants to stand on her own merits as opposed to her lineage. She's also the most politically minded of Zephrine's children and has a lot of potential on that front, something that makes her parents both very proud and somewhat wary. She’s also probably the most ruthless of the children when it comes to her goals, but she matches that ruthlessness with an equally gregarious personality and a strong loyalty to those who’ve earned her trust. She looks up to Arrian but idolizes Marciel and tends to clash a lot with Circe, who she often accuses of being boring and no fun.

In a continuation of this, he also had a massive crush on Zephrine and she greatly enjoyed teasing him, as a raven or otherwise. This basically sums up their relationship

He was also very prone to bullshitting about what he was capable of and going on tirades about his power, which was not entirely unfounded but completely exaggerated (Text below, for funsies)

For the final arc of our campaign, we had another player join us with a celestial paladin sent from the Raven Queen, Gwahaedir, to assist us with defeating the BBEG.

He was very majestic and beautiful as to be expected of a Celestial, but very socially awkward and would use his cloak to turn into a Raven to escape social situations. It did not help.

We had our epilogue session yesterday and the characters attended a party 6 months after the defeat of the Midnight Sun, so I whipped up some party outfits. From top left to bottom right, Zephrine, Therila, Florian, and Arrian, an ex-assassin Zephrine helped reincarnate + rehabilitate and has ultimately adopted along with her husband, Viseryn (It makes sense in context)

I'm gonna miss playing Zephrine and I did in fact cry at some points but I'm happy she's gonna live her best life from here on!!

[spaceokase]

Took a crack at drawing my wildfire druid, Threnn, again, b/c she’s been on my brain and I really like elves

[spaceokase]

While I'm sad that I won't get to play Zephrine anymore I'm also glad she's finally getting the happy ending she deserves after all the shit she went through. Like, years both in and out of game. And it's not like I'll never draw her or write about her again, she's gonna be a very busy lady now that the world is no longer ending.

That all said, I'm very much looking forward to finally dusting off Threnn and playing her in our next campaign. It's going to be very different vibes and I'm here for it 😈

[spaceokase]

Today, we had our final battle with our campaign's BBE in a combat encounter that took a good 5+hrs-and we came out victorious, it has been an absolute trip and a pleasure to've played in this campaign from 2018 all the way up to now, and I am going to absolutely miss these characters, but I'm looking forward to our next campaign+what fresh new trouble our new characters will get into with each other! :D

Shout out to @greyfen , @bioticplaneswalker , @okase +Rain+Will, I had so much fun in this campaign w/y'all+I can't wait to play the next one with you guys as well! \0/

[spaceokase]

Is she still with Therilla and golden boi? Now it's a quartet?

The polycule has expanded, yes, and gotten more complicated. I'll have to write down the various dynamics but it all makes sense I swear

[spaceokase]

A little compilation of Zephrine and her newest partner, the Archmagister Visaryn. Their relationship started as a secret casual thing and not so gradually became not-so-casual and soon enough, not-so-secret thing

(It was a rather poorly kept secret anyway)

Below are some vaguely saucy images behind a cut in case tumblr freaks out

I wanted to have a reference for Zephrine's new look + outfit, but it turned into a fake anime screenshot instead. Learned a lot from this and it was fun enough to attempt again!

[spaceokase]

An update to Zephrine's adventuring attire, this time the last one, as the campaign she's in is finally coming to a close! She's come a long, long way from level 2 and it's kind of crazy to think about.

She's no longer hiding that she's Tiamat's chosen at this point and I wanted her outfit to reflect that without being too in-your-face with it. I also wanted to go for an authoritative, almost military vibe as her and the rest of the party brace themselves for being at the front lines in a war against an all-consuming abomination.

I've got another oneshot coming up soon, so that means -drumroll-

Another Character

This is Sarath, a bard/warlock who abandoned her old githyanki crew and was gravely injured before being taken in by fey, who nursed her back to health. They taught her the power of Music and Friendship and she -eventually- caught on, and now she goes around traveling and awkwardly trying to bring joy to people.
