ALRIGHT EVERYBODY I'M SHIFTING INTO RAMBLING MODE

Get ready to learn about my ocs

Remember these guys?

Their world is called Eterna, and they're its designated guardian deities (well, Zephyr, Sage, and Siren are. The Little Traveler is something else entirely.) Zephyr is the Guardian of the Skies, he protects Eterna's atmotsphere and even has some control over the weather. Sage is the Guardian of the Earth, they protect the lands as well as the flora and fauna of Eterna, and are able to grow plants and control them. And finally, Siren is the Guardian of the Oceans, she protects- well- the oceans of Eterna, and can control its waters.

The Little Traveler is a strange creature. As their name suggests, they travel around the world. Why? Because it's fun! They love to see and learn new things! And they've been exploring for a long time and have found some curious things and encountered lots of different creatures!

Unfortunately, some of those creatures aren't very friendly. There's a lot of monsters, called Umbral Beasts (name and design are a work in progress,) ravaging the world. They are creatures born from darkness and hatred, whose only goal is to shroud Eterna in shadow for all eternity.

And they're succeeding.

Some places in Eterna have been plunged into darkness for a long, long time. An eternal darkness often called the Penumbra by the few people still left in the world. The beasts managed to defeat the Guardians, and, well...

The Little Traveler finds them, and they're, well... for a good while Siren and Sage are not having a good time, to put it lightly. The Little Traveler doesn't really know what's going on, though, so they just kind of see it as one of those weird, maybe slightly unsettling things you find on an adventure and leave it at that. At least, until they meet Zephyr.

Zephyr is the only one left, and he's weakened after fighting off the Umbral Beasts for a long time. He's searching for his siblings too, but he's exhausted.

Good thing he's found a little friend to help find them! And help fight the beasts too!

So the two go on an a quest to save Zephyr's siblings and rid the world of the darkness that plagues it, eventually learning that it runs a lot deeper than just the physical world.

In fact, it's source may lie within the god of Eterna itself, Null. (I need to make a more proper ref of it at some point, but it's design is pretty much set)

(It looks familiar, somehow...)

(Sidenote: not sure if I'll post these sketches in my art blog. I might post them, I might not, idk.)

Null is a creature of light and void, encompassing everything and nothing. It was revered around the world as the creator of Eterna and everything in it (including the Guardians and the beasts), but recently it has been abscent, neglecting it's duty as a god. Whether it created the Umbral Beasts intentionally or by accident, no one really knows, except for Null. And it doesn't seem like it'll clear things up anytime soon, leaving some of the remaining peoples to think that it outright abandoned them and others, including the Guardians, with their doubts.

As for the world itself, i haven't really drawn anything for it yet, but I imagine it as something like a combination of Kirby and the Forgotten Land's world with some extra bits from Sky: Children of the Light and maybe even a bit of Hollow Knight thrown in there. Lots of natural landscapes, with plenty of ruins and remnants of old civilizations. Overall it's got a sort of fantasy post-apocalypse vibe. Some areas would appear to be dark no matter what time it is because of the Penumbra, though there are other areas that are still unaffected by it. These places are often called Havens due to their relative safety from the Umbral Beasts, at least during the day. That's usually where any remaining civilization is located.

Areas affected by the Penumbra face a sort of stagnation, where things eventually stop changing and evolving and just kind of die out. It's very barren and cold, and not much can survive in the lack of light, except for the Umbral Beasts who thrive in the shadows and are actually harmed by light.

How do they get rid of the darkness and save the world, though? Of course, only with the REAL SUPER POWER OF TEAMWORK--

Actually I still need to figure out the specifics, but it does involve confronting Null itself. The Little Traveler is the key to defeating the Umbral Beasts and casting away the Penumbra once and for all. Why, exactly, no one really knows.

Now for some extra fun facts about the characters!

The Little Traveler get's nicknamed Tiny by Siren after she's saved, because The Little Traveler is a mouthful and they are very small. They're also called Little Guy, Little Buddy, Little One, among other nicknames that emphazise how small they are.

Tiny doesn't speak, but they do have a voice and can make sounds like crying, laughter, and chirps that everyone assumes to be their equivalent of speaking. If they could speak like we do, they would most likely sound like a small child.

Siren is the tallest of the group, while Zephyr is the shortest (besides Tiny who literally fits in the palm of someone's hand.)

While the Guardians are all the same age, they do as any triplets would and argue about who's technically the oldest. They can't decide who's the oldest, but Zephyr and Siren have come to the conclusion that Sage has to be the youngest. This annoys Sage. A lot.

While Tiny looks almost like a small shadow, they actually glow slightly in dark places, somehow. A light white aura surrounds them while in the dark. No one has figured out how they do this, or how it works, and honestly Tiny probably doesn't know either.

Tiny is kind of like Kirby in that they are happy and cheerful and seemingly unaware of the horrors of their world and the implications some of the things they face have.

They also hold a lot more power than you might think.

Tiny becomes incredibly attached to Zephyr, as he was the first Guardian they met, and eventually come to see him as an older brother.

They basically get adopted by the Guardians as their baby sibling.

As the Guardians are all deities, they don't necessarily need to eat and sleep. They won't die from not doing it like we do, but eating and sleeping helps them replenish their energy, so they still do these things regularly.

Aaaand that's all I can really think of right now, but there'll definitely be more in the future once I develop the world and the characters a bit more.

If you made it this far, thank you for listening to me ramble on about this little world that currently only exsists inside my brain. I really appreciate it. And I hope you like these ideas I've had rattling in my head for a good while now.

I think I'm done rambling now tho. Feel free to ask any questions if you have any!

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

I love how tumblr is reverse chronological order so when your mutual starts having a blorbo breakdown overnight you get to start with the insane conclusion and work your way back to where they first went off the rails.

sometimes fandom seems to struggle with the concept that...people can be kind/"good people" in some situations and very very not kind/not "good people" in others.

I feel like there's this urge to either write off the positive behavior as "fake" or to find a way to ignore/explain away/write out the negative behavior. and I personally find this really really irritating in both directions, actually
