Rules: Make a new post and post the latest line of your WIP. Then tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like, I was tagged by the lovely @monaskydancer 🥰 thanks a lot!! 😁).

Outside, the victory celebration had flared to a triumph with the enthusiastic speech of the Commander – his early attempts at tempering their elation lost in the moment and to the temptation to preserve hope.

Tagging not as many people as there are words because... well you see why! @lilypixy (because this is about your Commander after all 🥰) @i-mybrunettelady @swimmingseafish @just-eyris-things @thorns-and-brambles @dumb-dumb-mander and I forgot probably too many people!

[lilypixy]

For the Twins - 🍰: What's something your OC counts as unforgivable?

For Rorschach - 🍟: What does your OC admit to be their guilty pleasure? What actually is their guilty pleasure?

For Jiirka and Iotzza - 🍕: How does your OC spend a lazy day?

My first ask! Thank you @archesa ❤️!

🍰 : Meryw and Dairban, despite their similarities in character, have different standards.

Meryw worships knowledge and truth, and would be horrified to see someone destroy a book. The Elona campaign was a bit jarring for her companions, as the usually kind and demure dragonhunter had taken a personal vendetta against the Lich.

Dairban values justice above all, but his true trigger is disloyalty of any kind. Like Commander Rorschach and his orderly Galaëd, he was shocked when Caithe took Aurene's egg and saw it as treason. He never forgave her for that.

🍟 : Rorschach will readily admits to loving Zhaitaffy to the point of Sieran finding wrappers tangled in his mane, but his true guilty pleasure is scratching his chin against Galaëd's antlers, whenever he can do so without the sylvari noticing.

🍕 : Before Aurene's birth, Iotzza and her nephew liked to take a stroll in the jungle, her teaching Jiirka about various flora and fauna of the Metrica Province, or summoning a minion for the little warrior to chase and fight in the bushes.

After the Scion appeared in Jiirka's life, the old scourge spent more time with her own overgrown lizard (her words).

Pokémon GO Benzeri En İyi AR Oyunları

Bunlar iPhone ve Android için en iyi AR oyunları. Daha iyi bir oyun deneyimi için artırılmış gerçeklik veya konumunuzu kullanan Pokémon GO gibi eğlenceli oyunlar . Halka açık yerlerde dolaşıyor olsanız veya kanepede otururken, bu oyunlar başka bir yerde hissetmenize neden olabilir.

Pokémon GO birkaç yıldan daha eski olmasına rağmen hala mobil cihazlar için en popüler AR oyunlarından biri. Bununla birlikte, artık mevcut tek şaşırtıcı artırılmış gerçeklik oyunu değil. Benzer bir deneyim The Walking Dead, Ghostbusters, Harry Potter ve daha pek çok şeyden elde edilebilir.

Aslında, artırılmış gerçeklik, Apple’ın ARKit’i ve Google’ın ARCore’u sayesinde daha iyi ve daha iyi bir hale geliyor. AR için iki platform. Yazılım ve donanım her ikisi de geliştikçe, bu tür oyunlar ve eğlence için sınırlar sınırsızdır .

Pokémon GO gibi En İyi AR Oyunları Yürüyen Ölü: Dünyamız Ingress Prime Jurassic World Alive Ghostbusters Dünyası Harry Potter: Sihirbazlar Birleşiyor Pokémon GO’daki ilk büyük AR oyunlarından birinin üzerinden dünyanın ne kadar delice geçtiğini hatırlıyor musunuz? Telefonlarında görünmeyen canavarları oynayan ve yakalayan onlarca kişi görmeden hiçbir yere gidemezsiniz. İnsanlar Pokémon’u gerçek dünyada, telefonlarıyla görme ve onları yakalama fikrini sevdiler.

O zamandan beri, AR önemli ölçüde gelişti ve gün geçtikçe daha iyi hale geliyor. Pokémon GO’nun yaratıcıları Niantic kısa süre önce Harry Potter: Wizards Unite’ı piyasaya sürdü . Çarpıcı grafiklere sahip heyecan verici yeni bir AR oyunu. The Walking Dead ve Jurassic Park gibi devasa franchise’lardan bahsetmiyorum bile.

Merak edenler için AR, “kullanıcının gerçek dünyaya bakış açısıyla bilgisayardan üretilmiş bir görüntüyü bir araya getiren ve böylece bileşik bir görüntü sağlayan bir teknolojidir”. Kendi oturma odanızda Pokémon, hayaletler, zombiler veya dinozorları bu şekilde görebilirsiniz veya arka bahçede.

Hepsi oldukça heyecan verici. Pokémon GO oynamış veya oynamamış veya farklı bir AR oyunu denemek istemeniz durumunda, şu ana kadarki en iyi oyunlardır.

Pokémon GO

Evet, Pokémon GO gibi “Pokémon GO” gibi oyunlar arıyorsanız bile bu listede. Orijinallerden biri ve bu tür oyun teknolojisi hakkında bir fikir edinmek için oynamaya değer.

Gerçek dünyada parklarda, sokaklarda veya simge yapılarda dolaşabilir ve her yerde Pokémon canavarları bulabilirsiniz. Onları görmek ve bulmak için oyun içi haritasını kullanın veya AR modunu açın ve kameranızı kullanarak parkınızı veya arka bahçenizi gerçekten görün. Daha sonra canavarları ağaçların arkasına veya çalılıklara saklanarak göreceksiniz. Onlara Pokéball atmak ve birini yakalamak zorunda kalacaksınız.

Bu noktada, dünyadaki hemen hemen herkes Pokémon GO, ne olduğu, nasıl çalıştığı ve daha pek çok şey biliyor. İnanılmaz derecede eğlenceli bir AR oyunu arıyorsanız, indirmeniz gereken ilk oyun. 2016 yılında oynamayı bıraksanız bile tekrar deneyin. Parlak bir canavar, Mew, MewTwo, Efsanevi baskınlar ve hatta alım satım alabileceğiniz aylık topluluk günleri var . Ayrıca, yakın zamanda PvP savaşları ve Team Rocket’i eklediler.

İPhone veya Android için indirin

The Walking Dead: Our World

AMC’nin hit TV şovu The Walking Dead’de muhtemelen sayabileceğinizden daha fazla mobil oyun var. Birkaç oynadıysanız ama daha fazlasını veya daha fazlasını isteyen biri kaldıysa, Dünyamızı deneyin.

AR tabanlı Walking Dead: Dünyamız tam olarak aradığınız şey. Bu oyun 2018 yazında ortaya çıktı ve kelimenin tam anlamıyla yürüteçleri (zombiler) oturma odanıza getiriyor.

The Walking Dead: Dünyamız, sizi zombi kıyametine çeken türünün ilk örneği AR ve konum tabanlı oyundur. Sokaklarda, mağazalarda veya kendi arka bahçenizde yürüteçlerle savaşırken, Caaaaarl gibi en sevdiğiniz karakterlerle oynayabilirsiniz. Çılgın, heyecan verici ve yoğun.

AR oyunları fikrini seviyorsanız veya şovun hayranıysanız, bu oyuna bir deneyin. Oynamak ücretsizdir, ancak bazı durumlarda devam etmek için bulmanız (veya satın almanız) gereken enerji içeceklerinden nefret edersiniz. Tipik bir uygulama içi satın alma türü oyunudur, ancak yine de eğlencelidir.

IPhone veya Android için Walking Dead AR indirin

Ingress Prime

Pokémon GO, dünya çapında bir fenomen haline gelmeden önce, insanlar Ingress oynuyordu. Aslında iPhone veya Android için ilk yerlerden biri ve AR oyunlarından biriydi ve Pokémon GO, Niantic’i kuran aynı şirket tarafından yapıldı.

Aslında, Pokétop’taki insanlara dokunan Pokéstop ve spor salonlarının çoğu Ingress’ten geldi. Şirket, Ingress’ten aldığı bilgilerin çoğunu Pikachu ve canavar dünyasına aktardı. Ve yeni Harry Potter oyunu ile aynı şeyi yaptılar.

Ingress, küresel bir gizem, entrika ve rekabet oyunu için gerçek dünyayı peyzaj alanına dönüştürür. Pokémon GO’daki gibi parklara, simge yapılara ve diğer alanlara çıkmalısınız. Direniş ekibine katılacaksınız ya da dünyayı kurtarmaya çalışan Aydınlanmışlardan biri olacaksınız. Seçilebilecek iki takım bunlar.

2018 yılının sonlarında Niantic, Ingress’i tamamen yeniledi ve şimdi de Ingress Prime olarak biliniyor. 2018-19 ve sonrası için büyük ölçüde geliştirilmiş aynı heyecan verici deneyim. İyileşmiş ama aynı zamanda daha kötüsü.

İPhone veya Android için Ingress Prime’ı indirin

Jurassic World Alive

Sonra, Jurassic World Alive’den bahsetmeliyiz. Dinozorlar parktan, adalardan kaçtılar ve Dünya’yı yönetmek için geri döndü. Ve bu oyun Pokémon GO’nun oldukça utangaç bir kopyası olsa da, yine de son derece eğlenceli ve iPhone veya Android için en iyi AR oyunlarından biri.

Dinozor Koruma Grubuna (DPG) katılacaksınız ve göreviniz dinozorları neslinin tükenmesinden korumak. Kanepenizde korkmuş bir bebek dino veya arka bahçede büyük bir ölümcül T-Rex bulabilirsiniz. Filmlerde gördüğümüz hiçbir şeye benzemeyen çılgın yeni ırkları ve daha fazlasını bulacaksınız.

DNA örnekleri toplamak için dolaşabilir ve Pokéstops’u kaydırabilir, harita boyunca yürüyen yaratıkları bulmak için bir uçağı uçurabilir ve bir dinozorla karşılaştığınızda AR modunu açabilirsiniz. Ödüller kazanabilir, canavarları toplayabilir, arenalarda PvP ile savaşabilirsiniz. Bu AR oyunda yapacak çok şey var.

İPhone veya Android için indirin

Ghostbusters World

  Hiçbir hayaletten korkmam! (Tema şarkısını duyabilirsin, değil mi, kafanın içinde?)

Pokemon GO, The Walking Dead ve diğer AR oyunlarına çok benzeyen bir diğer oyun ise tamamen yeni Ghostbusters Dünyası.

Şehriniz, incil oranlarında bir felakete sürükleniyor. Gökten düşen ateş ve kükürtler, nehirler ve denizler kaynar, ölüler mezarlardan yükselir. (Tamam, tırnak ile bitirdim).

Ghostbusters hakkında sevdiğiniz her şey anında evinize, arka bahçenize ve şehre taşınabilir. Mürettebatın bir parçası olarak yürüdünüz, gerçek bir hayalet avcısı ve hayaletleri yakalamak ve toplamak için proton ışınlarınızı ateşlediniz. Şehri değil, bahsetmiyorum bile. Tüm Ghostbusters ekibini toplayabilir, PvP savaşlarına, epik baskın patronlarına veya savaşlarına katılabilir ve daha fazlasını yapabilirsiniz. En sevdiğiniz karakterleri, benzer bir hikayesi ve katılabileceğiniz yepyeni bir hikayesi var. Oldukça eğlenceli.

İPhone veya Android için indirin

  Harry Potter: Wizards Unite

  Ve son olarak, en sonuncusu ama en az değil, tamamen yeni Harry Potter Büyücüleri Birleşiyor. Bu oyun 2019 yazında geldi ve gerçekten heyecan verici. Şahsen, Sihirbazlar Birleşmesi beklenenden biraz daha karmaşık, ancak geliştiriciler oyunu her gün geliştirmek için çalışıyor.

Hem Ingress’in hem de Pokémon GO’nun yaratıcılarından Niantic, büyücüler dünyasını ve büyülerimizi arka bahçemize teslim etti. Bu mobil macera oyunu JK Rowling’in Büyücü Dünyası’ndan esinlenildi ve bugüne kadarki en çarpıcı AR oyun deneyimini sunmak için en yeni AR teknolojisini kullanıyor. Pokemon GO’nun henüz sahip olmadığı en yeni AR’yi kullanıyorlar.

Etrafınızdaki sihirleri bulmak için AR’yi kullanabileceksiniz. Gizemli eserleri keşfetmek, büyü yapmayı öğrenmek ve yol boyunca efsanevi canavarlarla ve ikonik karakterlerle karşılaşmak için gerçek dünyadaki mahalleleri ve şehirleri keşfedin. Pokemon’a çok benzer, ancak aynı anda farklı olabilir.

Ayrıca, yakındaki parklara gidip diğer büyü tekerleri ile tanışabileceğiniz büyük aylık etkinlikler yapacaklar.

Harry Potter Sihirbazlarını İndirin iPhone veya Android için Birleşin

Kapanışta, yakın gelecekte AR mobil sahnesini sarsacak bazı şerefli terimler veya gelecek oyunların bir listesini sunmak istiyoruz. Pokemon’un utanmaz bir kopyası olan Draconious GO’yu her zaman deneyebilirsiniz. Her şeyi kopyaladılar, ama yine de eğlenceli.

[archesa]

Happy bloomsday, my cutesie birch mesmer! 🍂✨

The stars are falling down.

[archesa]

Aldrei : Small animals are way more vicious. It’s because their anger has way less space to be bottled up in.

Rorschach : That can't be true. Give us one example of that.

Sieran : Wasps.

Trahearne : Piranha.

Lucius : Elianora.

Iotzza : Jiirka.

Galaëd : Canach.

[archesa]

✏️ Free Writing Prompt : Canach ends up buying the Consortium as an Ultimate Revenge. How does he go about it? Surprise takeover or tough negotiations?

Cactus Inc.

Some said all lives were expendable to the Consortium. That was not entirely true. Otherwise they would have ended him after the South-sun fiasco as it was called by the higher executives of the company, rather than have him work blood, sweat and bribes to try and restore what was lost, hiring bounty hunters and hitmen on his own wages in hope to bring the head of the responsible for this mess to the board.

Constant loyalty and innovation, to gather new settlers, entice authorities to look past the company's shortcomings and nip in the bud the slightest sign of rebellion amongst their crews. First they complain, then they find loopholes and the next thing you know they're demanding fair exploitation conditions and riddling their workplace with explosive and dangerous wildlife!

It would take years, perhaps, but he would eventually get back into the good graces of his superior and get away from this gold-forsaken rock and its putrid low-tides.

And sure, almost a decade later and whereas the other branches experienced mediocre results after catastrophic failure – getting shipwrecked in Elona and utterly failing to gain the approval of the locals to the point it was an obscure company by the name 'Cactus Incorporated' that had to finance their trip back to Tyria – he had single-handedly managed to restore Southsun Cove to a somewhat financially stable enterprise. They expected their first positive results this year and projected a three hundred percent increase due to the ever-growing afflux of visitors from Cantha.

And now, despite the company's recent – but he was certain passing – difficulties, finally, the board summoned him for what he gathered was a very important meeting.

Lion's Arch had remained the same through the years – excepted for its seemingly regularly scheduled cataclysmic destruction – and the Consortium's Office stood out, as a bridge between the old and new architecture of the city – high walls of bright concrete, and strong wooden beams ornate with maritime motifs and banners of gold and blue floating in the wind – a design meant to be familiar and draw as many interns and customers as possible.

On this particular morning, the building certainly served its purpose as a little crowd gathered in the street, all eyes turned to the construction workers tending to the signs and banners on the front, removing their signature gold and blue, employees and interns alike outed of their office and given leeway for the rest of the day.

“I hear they're planning massive changes to the building. Repairs and restructuring.”

“Well, that means at least a few days leave.”

“Perhaps the new director will consider paid-leave?”

That last strand of information made Noll's ears stand on end.

So the rumours were true. The Consortium was experiencing a change of management. As for the reason he had been called, on this particular occasion, he could only expect other sub-directors would be just as on edge as he was. An edge that sharpened to an uncomfortable threat when he realised the reunion was over, a procession of gold and blue robed executives leaving the room.

“Sub-director Noll.”, a falsely polished voice welcomed him.

Seated at the table, presiding over the highest authorities of the Consortium, flaunting an expensive suit and a polite smile to mask his true nature, was the person he had spent the last decade hunting in hope to have the head of – nothing attached – delivered to this very board.

“What is that terrorist doing here?”, the asura spat, ten years worth of venom spilling between his clenched teeth.

“It is customary, I believe, for the chief executive officer to be present at their company's merger.”, the cactus replied. “Our previous collaborations have always been dealt under the seal of secrecy, through the intervention of middlemen and legal representative”, he carried on, replacing a bundle of letterhead paper, bearing a somewhat familiar emblem and in golden letters the words 'Cactus Inc.', “but it felt appropriate to step into the light on this, the day The Consortium is no more. A proper way to introduce my employees to their new management.”

“And you summoned me to exact your vengeance.”

The sylvari leaned back in his chair, his stance relaxed and unthreatening but his eyes never once leaving the Subdirector's.

“You know I would. But someone I hold dear has convinced me to let go of old grudges.”, he added, casting a glance towards the easternmost window, where a sylvari Noll had completely failed to notice, ashen of bark and golden of leaves, almost invisible against the too bright morning sky, leaned against the ledge.

“Then you are a fool.”, Noll rebuked, crossing his arms and puffing his chest as to make himself bigger. “The sole reason my men did not bring your head to this board sooner is because you cleverly fled the continent. But Lion's Arch has sellswords aplenty, who would only need an incentive to put your head on a spike and feed the rest to the crabs. Enjoy your triumph while it lasts. I will make sure it won't.”

A lengthy silence punctuated his words. The sylvari on the ledge had straightened, a shimmer of purple in his aura – a mesmer, Noll realised – but the words did not have the intended effect on their primary target.

Canach took in a deep breath, eyes closed and a ferocious smirk – one that was so much more like him – drawing on his lips.

“Were you a witness to what he just said?”

The asura turned a noxious glance towards the sylvari on his side. “Your word against mine. You and I both know how this ends, Canach.”

But the secondborn did not listen.

A little bit of static rose from beneath the pile of papers at the centre of the table.

“Well, actually.”, a feminine voice quipped. “It's your word against your word.”

“Did you copy, Elianora?”

“Loud and clear.”

“This should pique the Captain Council's interest in earnest. Don't you think, Sub-director?”

“I... don't understand.”

“We planted recorders all around the room, you hermit-skritt brain!”,

Noll's expression faintly shifted, from triumph to stubborn denial as his own voice came rising from the vocoder hidden underneath the freshly signed acquisition.

“Th-This recording means nothing without reliable witnesses to back your claim.”

“I do believe we knew that.”, Canach said, turning to the sylvari by his side.

The mesmer flicked his wrist, and with a haze of stellar gold and blood stone purple, the waves of sunlight crashing on the office faded, leaving in their stead a more natural blue sky and the shadow of a woman in a loose blue shirt and the highest position of power in the Arch.

“Captain Kiel, were you a witness to what he just said?”

“I was.”

“Remind me again, the sentence for planning, aiding and abetting an assassination...”

“Ten years per offence. Give or take.”

The sylvari leaned back in his chair, with an ineffable expression. Something Noll never believed this constant sneer of superiority and thorny features would be able to convey. Peace.

“See you in a few lifetimes, Subdirector.”

[archesa]

Quick starlight & fireflies thought. I won't go deep into analysis but there's something there... in opposition between Anise and Galaëd in regards to Canach, and how the two mesmers' influence play in his character development...

During the World Summit, Anise says Canach's (noble) intentions don't interest her.

Countess Anise: What I need is a sharp instrument. A knife that can be employed before anyone realizes it's struck.

Canach: Show me where to cut, Countess, and I will be your blade.

In the meantime, the first real conversations Galaëd has with Canach are precisely about his intentions - not only at Southsun, but also regarding him being a Soundless, or his obstinate resistance to the Call.

And when all is said and done, when Mordremoth is vanquished, when Galaëd's wyld-hunt is complete, when Canach is freed of Anise's service, when they become a friends and later a couple, there is something unsaid and yet of significance behind Galaëd offering Canach his sword.

[archesa]

Oops... I accidentally made another AU by playing around with fashion wars...

Trahearne, Champion of Mordremoth

In which Trahearne "succumbs" to Mordremoth and takes the mantle of Champion, thus keeping enough of his free will to gain the Commander some time for them to slay the dragon.

Alright, now I’mma be reasonable and I will not make a third Anwen in the grand “I would choose you, in a hundred lifetimes, in every version of reality” scheme of things. I. Will. Not. And...

Holy crab she’d be so pretty in that medium armour!! 😳😭

[archesa]

multiple comms ask -> 1, 5 and for some angst, 8 :>

Thanks for the ask!! Here is some De Draconis Mobile lore 😁

The Multiple Commander Asks are still very much open, as a preambule to a soon to be posted prologue to DDM (It is time!!)

1 / At what point during the story do they meet up?

Big question!

Let's start somewhat chronologically!

Lilja and Aldrei are childhood friends, with Aldrei being a sort of elder sibling figure to Lilja.

Iotzza is Jiirka's 'aunt' and mentor.

Meryw and Dairban are podtwins, and bloomed a few hours before Galaëd. They shared a few visions of each other in the Dream of Dreams, and fought the Shadow together.

Elianora met Iotzza, Jiirka and Aldrei when she joined the Whispers.

Galaëd and Dairban joined the Vigil around the same time and met Lilja there.

Meryw met Rorschach at the Priory, and eventually became Sieran's second mentee.

Rorschach and Galaëd met on Claw Island, and Trahearne had them work together from the very early beginnings of the Pact, having been a firsthand witness of their synergy in battle.

Two other members : Tora and Lucius join the guild later, respectively during Season 2 – as an emissary of the Olmakhan tribe – and after Path of Fire – as an agent of the Order of Shadows.

5 / Did all of them, only a few, or just one of them go through the dungeon storylines?

Rorschach explored the Catacombs with Sieran, a few weeks after he joined the Priory.

Galaëd and the twins went with Caithe at Twilight Arbour.

Elianora, Iotzza and Jiirka found themselves together at Caudecus party. (The first feat of the infamous Terror Trio!)

Iotzza and Jiirka cooperate with Lilja at Sorrow's lament... add a dash of Zojja and Kudu to an already very explosives mix!

Honor of the waves calls for intuition and diplomacy, so Aldrei and Meryw are the wisest most natural choice.

The Citadel of Flames is an opportunity for the recently anointed Commander to scare his Tribune Brimstone and Captain Thackeray into submission with the now infamous Terror Trio!

8 / Who mercy killed Trahearne?

Rorschach.

It would have destroyed Galaëd.

[archesa]

Truth potion ask for Galaëd: What scares you the most? Like scares to the point where you would abandon your moral values? (@uselessidiotsquad)

Galaëd struggles against the truth serum, trying to hold his guard against the lie he tells himself that he would stay true to his beliefs and hold strong against anything if it meant to save the world.

This is the crackling in the rampart of his fortitude. What would you renounce to never suffer the loss of your world?

"Losing Canach, Rorschach and Trahearne."

Galaëd's fortitude is trefoiled. If he lost two of them he would hold for the last, but were he to lose the three of them, he would burn the world to be reunited with them.

[archesa]

Cheek kisses for Elianora and Lucius!!!

Thank you so so much!!! 😭❤️ I am in desperate need of writing and gosh! Writing them filled me with unexpected joy! Plus it's always fun discovering new stuff about your characters as you write ^^ Here, that Lucius is just as emotionally constipated as his book version, but definitely not oblivious to the... signals ^^ Anyhow! Hope you'll enjoy this! 😘❤️

Till we meet again - 1331 AE

Somber glee. That was how to best describe the state of elation and uncertainty, of chaotic relief and ghastly realisation that followed Joko's death.

The Awakened slowly rose from their stupefied torpor. The Commander and Dragon's Watch had regrouped around the Dragon of Light and her Champion, standing a watchful vigil upon the Lich-slayer now curled and coiled in the protective embrace of her devoted guild. And for the first time in centuries, the Order was ready to leave the shadows.

Damage control. That would come next, and Lucius knew it would take months - years perhaps - for Vabbi and the provinces south of the Bone Wall to recover from the shock of the loss of their tyrant.

Joko the Eternal, may he rest in pieces.

Kito would soon give each and every one of them new affectations and he could not expect to be so lucky to be posted in Amnoon this time. Though perhaps, it was for the best. With his family history, perhaps it was wise for him to stay in retreat, serve the Order from the shadows rather than step into the light, lest some historian or genealogist would place a crown on his head.

The last Primeval king is dead, long live the king.

No. This was not his calling, not what he wanted, and not what Elona needed. For all their flaws and the suspicions of corruption in their midst, the council of Amnoon had the best of their people's interest at heart. With time - and a little meddling from the Order - all the major cities of Elona could be ruled by such institutions, elections organised, democraty restored...

In the meantime, his belonging was in the shadows... if his heart was drawn to her light.

Their eyes met across the ruins of the village centre, and a smile shined through the fatigue weighting on her and shrouding her usual flamboyance. She whispered a few words to her guildmates - excusing herself from what he could read on her lips - and crossed towards him taking the arm he offered to escort her to a more secluded place.

“I’m glad you’re unharmed.”

“Likewise. How is Glint’s scion faring?”

“Aurene? She’s tougher than she looks”, she smiled, the twinkle in her eyes betraying secrets hidden in plain sight, “she will recover. How about you? Care to share some classified information with a fellow collector of intel and tell me where you're heading next?"

"Would that I could.", he said, regretfully. "I do not know where our respective paths will lead in the next months, but... I valued our time together. I immensely enjoyed your company, and I hope we will meet again."

She blinked, a sullen realisation darkenening her features.

"This is farewell, then..."

The young man leaned in, his hand finding hers and their fingers entertwining as he laid a tender kiss on her cheek. She felt his lips curl against her skin when her breath hitched in her chest, and a chuckle escaped her when he withdrew, a spark of mischief and certainty glistening in his green amber eyes.

"Farewell, but not goodbye."

[archesa]

have 🌈🔥☁️🌟 for whichever two of your folks you feel like talking about :D (or just one if that’s too much!) @kerra-and-company

Thanks so much for these! And thank you for your patience! These took forever for me to answer, I've been busy with work and my mind was abuzz with thousands of thoughts that I could not get a hold onto... Constant white noise, plenty of plot bunnies running everywhere and no focus on anything... Somewhat better than pure creative drought but still quite frustrating!!

Anyway, here are some HC that I hope you'll enjoy 😘❤️🍂

🌈 RAINBOW - what advice would they give to their younger self?

Despite being (or perhaps because of that) a chronomancer, Galaëd knows better than to risk interfering with his or anyone's past. The ripple effects are too wild, too unpredictable...

That being said, a harmless pieces of advice he'd gladly have returned a couple minutes in the past to offer himself before disaster stroke :

Never. Try. To outsass. Dairban.

You will lose, and end up being exposed and kinkshamed in front of your entire guild and the Grand Warmaster of the Vigil.

Abridged transcript of the exchange as registered by Scruffy, 1334 AE :

[Dragon’s Watch pondering why, despite being a ranger, Laranthir doesn’t a pet]

Galaëd : Well, he has Dairban!

Dairban : Bold words from someone consistently impaled on a cactus.

Galaëd : What?

Dairban : *throws Galaëd on Canach*

🔥 FIRE - do they have any self destructive tendencies? what habits do they have that hinder them from becoming their best self?

Galaëd will deny it with all his might but... he can get a little... bit... irrationally... jealous.

Jiirka and Rorschach will mercilessly tease him for the dark glances he’ll throw to a certain corsair, when Canach first considers leaving for new adventures aboard her airship. It’ll take a pep-talk from his friends -- a quick reminder that it is well and definitely established that cunning, manipulative women are not Canach’s type -- and Canach casually asking Galaëd if he’d rather request a leave or an official demobilization for the poor twig to realise his partner never even considered leaving without him 😅Where to ? Only time will tell!

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

Draconis Mons is... not Galaëd’s favorite place! Apart from the constant humidity - seriously at this point I’d just rather it rained! - the sheer abundance of briars and liana, so soon after the campaign of Maguuma would already have been a waking nightmare without these damn antlers getting caught in everything, everywhere, all at once!

But Rorschach has been exceedingly patient, untangling his friend from whatever weed had latched onto him with nary a peep! An exceptional show of restrain when Galaëd looked like this, for the majority of the trip!

🌟 GLOWING STAR - what do they think about when they look at the night sky? is there someone they want to star gaze with?

The skies turning from a molten gold to a deep purple and the stars coming alive on the deepest of blue, dispelling the last shadows of the nightmare still clinging to his mind, even as the dragon writhed and died, still trying to poison the Dream...

The menders had calmed him and reassured him, after the dragon faded, defeated by a handful of future Valiants — one of which he'd soon enough recognize amongst his fellow recruits, within the Vigil — and he spent his first hours in the waking world watching the stars and fireflies dance above the shallow water of Caer Astorea.

Whenever he observes the stars, he feels called back to this moment, where the world seemed a quieter, easier place — his destiny, the path he was born to tread laid at his feet — where he was content, and proud, and comfortable and hopeful.

Of course, life is seldom as simple as menders and luminaries would have the saplings believe.

And he enjoys his life, rich and chaotic and full of love and laughter as it is!

But stargazing remains a suspended moment, a bubble out of time and space, where he can pretend nothing exists apart from the skies above and his loved ones besides. And, of course, he particularly enjoys stealing such moments with Canach.

[archesa]

you gave me three pens for three characters, i give you three pens for three characters--🖊🖊🖊 for elianora, lucius, and galaed maybe? :D @kerra-and-company

Thanks so much for these asks! ^^ I have a lot to say about these three and honestly the possibilities are so wide open with the yet to be properly introduced Champions Galore AU that I didn’t know where to start! Hope you’ll like this sneak peek! Let's dive deep in "De Draconis Mobile" 🐉🥰

🖊️- Galaëd used to be a little wary of the Whispers — he didn't like their plans when it came to dealing with finding the truth about Riannoc's fate or retrieving Caladbolg from the hands of its unworthy bearer — but Jiirka's sharp wit and even sharper tongue, Iotzza's haughty exterior shattering at the mere prospect of a treasure hunt salvaging rare and precious artefacts, Tybalt's warm disposition and openness and Elianora's fiery temperament eventually won him over.

🖊️ - Elianora greatly enjoyed her time in Amnoon before Balthazar came and ruined her fun! She’s not the most diplomatic person ever, but she has a keen eye and a flamboyant enough personality that she’d manage to draw the attention and make friends in unlikely places, so having her as an envoy of the Pact was not as wild a guess as it seemed. Surely enough, she gravitated towards a member of the Order of Shadows within days of her arrival...

🖊️ - Lucius knows the desert like the back of his hand. The crystal Oasis first and foremost, but should his guild hypothetically need directions to... let’s say, a remote, secluded location, right at a confluence of leylines for a few dragons to rest and a few asura to power their labs, it would probably take him no more than a few minutes to point it on a map.

have 5, 17, 24, and 28 for lucius, if you'd like! :D @kerra-and-company

Wiiii!! Let's dive into "De Draconis Mobile"! Thanks a lot!

5/ Their most favorite map/place in general?

Amnoon is his home, the city he’s sworn to defend, the last refuge of freedom on Elona. He enjoys the soft sound of the waves crashing on the beach and the constant chatter coming from the harbour, the scent of spices and sweets and freshly ground coffee emanating from the market, the clear openness of the skies above the pyramids and the warmth of his mother’s tea when the cold of the desert falls and would deter even the bravest from stellar observation.

Wherever life leads him, Amnoon will always hold a special place in his heart.

On a whole over level, he particularly appreciated Drizzlewood Coast! High cliffs, dark recess to hide and observe the enemy from above, clear lines of sight on all approaches. The environment suited his combat style and his keen eye for ambushes was most useful to secure the Legions’ encampments and fortune headquarters... A shame for Smodur, really, that no one - not even Lucius - noticed that small cave entrance, above their hidden headquarters...

17/ People with Commander ocs, is there any part of the main story where your oc's story diverges? Everyone else, is there a part of your oc's story that follows the canon one?

Lucius serves as one of the Pact's first contact in Amnoon, even before Rorschach Grimlaugh, Galaëd or even Balthazar set foot on Elonian shores. He was contacted — found, really! — by an envoy of the Order of Whispers, Elianora, when the Pact's attention returned to Kralkarotic (after Mordremoth's death and their Marshal's passing).

He and Elianora will work closely, and report the news of the God of War's arrival to their respective orders, allowing them to prepare for the incoming storm. When the Commander arrives in Amnoon, Lucius stands in retreat, electing to leave mundane politics to better suited agents, but remains close by, to see if this Pact and this newly formed guild, Dragon's Watch, are really up to the challenge the Elder Dragon will pose.

He joins the operations in Kourna as an envoy of the Order of Shadows and earns the Commander's eye during the assault on Joko's fortress.

After the Awakened are freed from the Lich's rule and peace negotiations are well underway, but tragically interrupted by the Crystal Dragon's Champion, he becomes an official and permanent member of Dragon's Watch.

24/Which canon character do/would they get along with the best?

Ironically, he loves Faren! They couldn't be any more different, but the young lord has a heart of gold and courage unsuspected even by him. Lucius and him spend a lot of late evenings talking, discussing politics or poetry, women and war tactics, inconsequential nothings and the fate of the world, during his stay in Amnoon.

If not for his profound aversion of necromancy, he'd get along quite well with Marjory, but they rarely interact due to him being very ill at ease and having trouble overcoming his prejudice.

As for working on the field, he works quite well with Canach. The sylvari sets traps and Lucius shoots. It's quite perfect actually.

28/What is their character arc, if they have one.

Learning to become his own person, freed from the chains of his family’s crusade, and finding his own purpose in life.

First snow for Galaëd, just water in disguise or wonder of the skies?

That was quick!! 😁 (I love you so much 🥰) First snow from my Wintersday prompt list, then ❄️😁

Content warning : alcoholic beverages 🍾

Stars are falling down

Cold came from the Shiverspeaks, a biting wind blowing on the heights of the city, ruffling his leaves and billowing his cloak. He adjusted his earmuffs — a gift from the gigantic charr-shaped pile of wool puffing plumes of fog next to him — and stared at the pale ribbons of clouds veiling the spires of the human capital. The skies above drew a pale shroud of lavender on the horizon, covering the world in darkness as the candles and lamps came alive in the streets below.

The scent of firewood and cinnamon floated in the air, music swelling as they neared the Crown Pavilion where the festivities were held.

Evergreen garlands and tinsel hanging from the gigantic wings of the eagle covering the arena, and from the automated orchestras at the far northern and southern ends of the garden came triumphant trumpets and melancholic tints of glockenspiel, silver bells and choirs almost drowned by the elated sound of conversations and the laughter of adults and children alike as they crossed the esplanade in search of the perfect gift, or the perfect treat, hot chocolate and tea, spiced wine and warm cider to keep the cold at bay.

Another freezing gust of wind blew over the city, ruffling the purple strands of Rorschach’s mane poking out of his hand-knitted festive hat, and making him shiver, the brand on his back quaking and a few cobalt electric arcs bursting at the tips.

Galaëd’s glow intensified to a shimmering gold and he motioned his friend to wait, a joyful smile enlightening his face as he blinked through the crowd and back, bringing them two cups of steaming mulled wine — red for him, white for Rorschach.

“You’ll need it in an instant now!”, the sylvari announced, throwing his head back to look up at the sky. "Look!"

From the misty depths, a veil of shimmering flakes detached themselves, twirling down in the wind to powder on the city.

“The stars are falling down.”

have 18, 38, 48, and 55 for galaed if you’d like! :D @kerra-and-company

Ooooh!! Ding-Dong! It's still autumn and it's Galaëd hours! 🍂😁 With a little bit of a sneak peek into the future of De Draconis Mobile!

18. Have any special keepsakes?

A bud of Caladbolg that was cut from the thorn when he fought Mazdak, before joining the Vigil. Trahearne returned the sword to the Pale Tree, but Galaëd preciously kept the severed flower and had it encased in a bead of glass he still wears to this day as a pendant.

Something else he holds very dear is his rapier, a razor sharp and feather light blade forged by Occam -- a token of the blacksmith’s gratitude after the newly bloomed Valiant saved him from the Nightmare Court and salvaged his masterpiece from the corpse of the so-called Green Knight, Bercilak. The blade served him faithfully for several years, and is now carried by someone Galaëd holds closest to his heart.

38. Did/do they go anywhere special for vacations?

Hahahaha!! 🤣🏖️

After the victory of the Pact over Zhaitan, Rorschach and Galaëd did take a little vacation! The sun, the palm trees, the warm white sand and crystalline water...

Would be a shame if...

Someone...🌵

Unleashed...

Karkas on the island... 🦀

48. What was their lowest point? What was their highest point?

His highest point, no doubt, the completion of his Wyld Hunt, the resurrection of Trahearne! The pure unadulterated joy of having his brother back!

His lowest point... Taking the mantle of Commander of the Pact after the death of Rorschach. Preparing the siege of Thunderhead peak, to defeat Kralkatorik, save the world and avenge his friend... and failing...

His only chance to continue to do the right thing there is to fall in complete denial, to convince himself to the point of delusion that Rorschach will find his way back to them, like he did when Balthazar killed him. And being confronted to the inescapable, solid, gruesome evidence of the contrary — when Aurene and her Champion (wait and see) lead their final assault of the heart of the Elder Dragon of Crystal at Dragon Fall — is the closest he ever gets from falling...

To what, he himself is not sure.

55. What’s your character’s core trait? What’s their best trait? What’s their worst trait? When happens when these all interact with each other?

I'd say his best trait is his loyalty. And his joyful demeanour.

But they are, in a certain way some of his core flaws, because he’s terrified of disappointing the people he admires or loves, which means he takes at heart to conform himself to what he is expected to be -- a Valiant, a Warmaster, a commanding officer of the Pact, a Jester, a Beacon of Hope. It does not mean he’s not all these things, nor that these titles and expectations are too heavy a mantle to bear, just that he might sometimes force himself to keep up appearances, for the sake of those looking up to him, but mostly for the love of those he looks up to.
