answering this ask has me closing my weary eyes at the thought of Poseidon, when rebuffed by the woman of his obsession because she wants to preserve her virginity and freedom, sends a dolphin after her to convince her to come marry him anyway

a dolphin

the marine animal who is so well-known for their normal mating habits and non-violent non-coercive behaviours towards other dolphins and other species (they are not)

Delfino fue un delfín que, prestó durante mucho tiempo sus servicios al dios Poseidón, como avatar y mensajero; Y al final de los días de su vida, el Señor de los Mares quedó tan agradecido por ello, que decidió situarlo entre las estrellas…

Me apetecía volver un poco a los sonidos puramente MIDI del uk dub, y este ha sido el resultado. Este es un tema que en realidad lleva hecho desde hace varios meses, pero por consejo de mis amigos en la escena decidí probar a, en vez de sacarlo nada más lo terminé, dejarlo madurar un poco, retocando, mejorando, y cambiándole cosas con calma, cada semana un poquito, hasta que he quedado satisfecho.

Sterrenhemel // Chicago Free Agency

“One of the longest standing Free Agencies in the United States, Sterrenhemel has long since been solidified as 'top of the food chain' when it comes to the Chicago unchained population. Perhaps its luck that they seem to have no interest in running the place with an iron fist, but not everyone has taken kindly to them, nor does everyone agree with their tendency to help maintain the status quo, regardless of if it appears beneficial to everyone

Currently, their base of operations resides within Saint Astra hospital located in Hyde Park, Chicago, housing the entrances to a pocket dimension that shares the agency's name, though it is formally known as the Sacellum. Furthermore, it's been said that the pocket dimension was once generated by one of the only rumored fourth-order lambdas to ever be created successfully: the Genesis Engine.

As part of my return to using this blog I figured I may as well share some of my main npcs in our demon: the descent living campaign. They’re part of a Free Agency and while they help the unchained community they are very invested in maintaining the God Machine’s hold in Chicago. While it would be incorrect to go so far as to call them Integrators, some are perfectly fine doing so :)

Delphinus the Champion of the Sea

[twinegardening]

delphinus by artsy_vii

"In this realm, we are constellations—dwelling above the skies that we once thrived beneath." "And most beings who come here...know why they come here. They've left actions and words unfinished, unheard...but they refuse to set themselves free."

"Do you wish to know how to leave this place?"

The Arathan Zodiac

Later interpreted into Alanian Star Signs that they use for horoscopes much in the same way we do

These are all constellations that exist in our world too, but I decided to give some of them my own designs. It is based on the Irish Zodiac with some animals swapped out.

Replaced Salmon with Otter

Replaced Butterfly with Rabbit

Replaced Lizard with Bear

This zodiac is how the ancient people of Alania justified the existence of BeastKind, categorizing them into twelve (thirteen) overarching species.

Deerkind-

Includes different species of deer as fauns

Represented by Rangifer/Beithe

Felinekind-

Includes breeds of house cats and wildcats like lynxes and tigers. Also known as catkind.

Represented by Felis/Luis

Bovinekind-

Includes cows, oxen, goats, and sheep

Also known as cowkind, minotaur, goatkind, satyr, and sheepkind

Represented by Taurus/Gort

Equinekind-

Includes horses in the form of ipotane and centaurs. Also known as horsekind. There are also zebras.

Represented by Equuleus/Tinne

Rodentkind-

Includes rabbits, squirrels, and mice

Also known as rabbitkind, squirrelkind and mousekind

Represented by Lepus/Sail

Serpentkind-

Primarily composed of naga, also known as Snakekind

Represented by Serpens/Nion

Bearkind-

Comprised of mostly brown and black bears, or those native to the country

Represented by Delphinus/Huath, because of their connection to water and how the constellation can also be interpreted. Delphinus is a dolphin.

Otterkind-

Comprised mainly of river and sea otters

Represented by Lacerta/Coll

Lacerta is actually a lizard, but I’m using it because it kinda looks like an otter too

Caninekind-

Includes wolves, foxes, and various breeds of dogs. Also known as wolfkind, foxkind and dogkind.

Represented by Lupus/Ngetal

Songbirdkind-

Includes smaller species of birds, such as parrots and finches. Primary features are wings and talons.

Represented by Corvus/Dur

Waterfowlkind-

Includes birds with webbed feet that can be found in the area. Swans, ducks, geese and seagulls.

Represented by Cygnus/Muon

Raptorkind-

Includes birds of prey, such as eagles, hawks and falcons.

Represented by Aquila/Ruis

Foxkind-

While technically a species of Caninekind, some scholars have given Foxkind a category all its own due to their unique mannerisms and mythologies.

Represented by Vulpecula/Fern

Delphinus the Dolphin is the 69th-smallest of the 88 constellations. It comes into view each year on northern summer evenings. And by northern fall, it’s well placed for viewing, arcing high across the sky each night. However, its stars are faint. So to see it, you’ll want a dark sky.
