Dekarios clan blurbs
Figured I would share a bit more of the Dekarios fam (family tree is here) from infinitesimal!
------------------------------------------------------
Arianell Emmeline [50, half-elf druid] | Barmar Copperleaf [120, dwarf druid]
Arianell was named after both the grandmother and grandfather she never got to meet (Arnell and Emmeline). Ari was born with a wild spirit and grew up loving nature, flowers, and animals, all from her mother. Arianell left home much younger than her twin, Marino, did, but Gale and Shadowheart supported her regardless (of course they would, who would they be to deny their children their greatest wishes?). Her first stop on her journey to discover all of Toril's natural wonders was Reithwin, to gain a better understanding of the druidic practices from her uncle Halsin. She was instantly obsessed with it, and spent a few years travelling between circles to learn how to be a druid and to find the right one for her.
That's when she meets Barmar. Barmar is an orphan but has a deep sense of family, which is is why he feels so at home in his own druid circle - big found family vibes. Barmar is warm and solid and so he and Ari don't get off on the best foot - she's much more tempestuous and fickle and flighty. But it also makes them really attracted to each other so, yknow, one thing leads to another and they're together 👀
After years in their circle and having their two daughters, they eventually move back in with Gale and Shadowheart - they are, after all, big family people. But it's never quite clear if they move in because of Ama moving out, leaving the home a bit of an empty nest, or because Ari and/or Barmar wanted to raise their daughters close to home (and Ari misses her mother).
And then we have their kids....
Andora [25, dwarf ranger] | Jenneline [23, dwarf]
Andora picks up ranging from her uncle Marino's partner, Thribur, since they tend to visit the family home quite often. As she grows older she travels with Mari and Thribur on some of their adventures. Jenneline is named after both her grandmother and great grandmother, in tradition with her mom, and does not have a career chosen as of yet but alas, the default character creator did not let me choose 'civilian'.
------------------------------------------------------
Marino [50, half-elf wild magic sorcerer] | Thribur [35, half-orc ranger]
Marino's name is a play on Morena Dekarios. Marino is the older of the Dekarios twins, and the more calm and collected of the two. He's definitely very charming and charismatic, and no one especially expected him to be a sorcerer, let alone a wild magic one. His powers developed very early on as he was a child, and Tara took him under her wing to learn the best of his abilities. It was Tara's death is what spurred him to finally leave his family home. After that he spent many years travelling and taking on odd jobs, but never straying far from home, always coming back for visits with his parents and his younger sister Ama.
Eventually he meets Coelor, they have Tera, but they don't stay together for long. Along his travels he meets Thribur, his current partner, and they settle more full-time in Secomber to be close to Coelor and Tera, and splitting the rest of their time between Waterdeep and their various adventures. I like to imagine Mari as the cool uncle that hangs around home all the time because he loves his family so much haha.
Coelor [66, half-elf] | Tera Dekarios [16, half-elf]
Coelor is Mari's former partner and mother of Tera. They didn't end up working out and were only together briefly, but have stayed really close friends and co-parent Tera. Tera is named after Mari's third parent, none other than Tara.
------------------------------------------------------
Amastacia [31, half-elf school of illusion wizard] | Lynel [45, half-elf school of divination wizard]
Amastacia is the third Dekarios child, though not planned. Gale and Shadowheart wanted two children, introverted and small as their own families were, but Ama was yet another surprise for them. She was withdrawn and logical, and took after her father the most (she's a real dad's girl). Seeing the love and appreciation her father had for the art of wizardry, she decided to learn what she could from him and delve deep into her own studies, eventually leading her to Hosttower to further her studies into illusion magic even more.
At Hosttower she meets Lynel, a fellow graduate student finishing their own studies in divination studies. As of yet they've been together for almost two years, the two of them fitting together nicely but also very differently - Lynel was an only child, but Ama grew up surrounded by her family (even if it wasn't the largest). They're both fascinated by the art of wizardry, and are not super outward in terms of their affection, but tend to show it through their support and understanding of each other.

I've been trying to pin down Solenne's look for forever, and I think I've finally got it.
Continuing on with drawing my main MMO avatars, Solenne is my main TERA avatar - She's a High Elf Sorceress, Fashionista, and again, a kind of... slightly grumpy, introverted librarian? I'm sensing a pattern here.
I have pretty mixed feelings about the in-game costumes for TERA; on the one hand, they are very pretty, but on the other hand, they are also ridiculously impractical. However, as I said before, I like designing "real world" clothes for fantasy characters, so for Solenne I went for a sort of... high class business woman. In-game, I generally just have to go with whatever I can get my hands on. The game USED to have the ability to change armour skins to be what you wanted, but sadly they took it out of the game a few years ago.

Jareth finally finished up a major quest chain in Tera, one of the few with storyline I actually like (plus Ellion is smokin’ so that always helps). And Seth enters the world as a gunner, well, technically a test character and bank mule. I’m not sure yet if I want to roll him on my main account; the elin is adorable but the class itself feels odd to me.
Seth: You made me a girl and I don’t even get boobs!? WTF!!! D<
