Well if we're startin off with an art blog, might as well show off the weird little guy I've been drawing most consistently, Strellona. This post will act as a bit of an initial masterpost for his art going forward.

More Info and art about this goober under the cut!

So! First and foremost, his full TRUE name is Strellona Vie Sha'Lyve. Though other common names he goes by are Sevial Sha'Lyve, Sevial Marin, Barn Cat, Strellona Lumenosa, or simply Sev or Strell. His most common epithet is "The strange Prince from a strange land.", though he has also been refereed to as the Archivist, Medic, and, most curiously, as the only fey who can lie. (On a technicality.) While not being of the fey originally, a chance encounter with a particular fey lead him into getting roped into good ol fashioned fey bullshit after eating and drinking food and drink of the fey. The initial debt to the particular fey who roped him in initially ended up being waived because the only thin that particular fey desired was companionship, which confused the younger Strell as he was already more than on board with being friends, deal or not, which touched the fey deeply. Though now that he was more or less permanently attached to the fey realm, he never really combated it or rejected those new roots, and rather fully embraced them as the weird lil guy he is. The fey seemed to really appreciate his presence as two of the rulers did take him in as a son. Though his shenanigans don't really end there, since he also did later join a kingdom run by humans and the likes, offering various services and serving in a major war that lead to his desires to learn more about the nature of things around him and healing people, as it was discovered in that war that he had a strong affinity to life magic. Though the wars and his new position as someone who archives, heals, and spies did take a lot out of him, so did the death of the king of the country who welcomed him in to begin with. His race, unknown until old texts were rediscovered during the height of the war, was inhumanly empathetic, and not only was he grieving, he could feel the full extent of the grief others around him felt as well. Which sucks! He never really fully recovered from that event and is still prone to carrying the weight of others emotions on his shoulders, despite nobody ever really knowing about it. Personality wise? I'd say for his current rendition he's quiet but polite, sometimes expressive in conversation and a delight to be around, other times hes stoic and silent, more focused on his work or any project he is working on in the moment. Very much a workaholic and worrywart, though he's also incredibly grounded in some instances when it comes to emotional struggles and is definitely a good shoulder to lean on. He is also highly inquisitive and intelligent, sneaky even, since the strong desire to learn about things goes strong even in his fragmented emotional state. Curiously, despite all his shortcomings and struggles, he is also quite genuine as a person and will often fully says what he means. It is very rare that he lies, though some speculate that he may have lied more if it weren't for his ties to the fey to begin with. And as many have stated in his lifetime, "He always seems to know just what to say." Here are some various art pieces I've done of him and characters he's interacted with over time.
