You have come here For one purpose and one alone Since the moment I first heard you sing I have needed you with me to serve me, to sing For my music My music…

FEBHYURARY 2024 :: Day 7 - Voice

But the star has gone, the glamour's worn thin That's a pretty bad state for a state to be in Instead of government, we had a stage Instead of ideas, a prima donna's rage Instead of help, we were given a crowd She didn't say much but she said it loud

Three characters similar to mine: Amon

I had to think about this for a bit. Funny how all the characters I could think of were from the classics. 

Dr. Moreau

This covers the mad scientist bit. This guy was even into chimera experimentation, much like Amon in Allag was. Though Amon claims not to carry out experimentation like this anymore, it’s still a strong part of his past identity that weighs heavy on him. 

Sir Percy Blakeney - The Scarlet Pimpernel 

This dude passes himself off as a major fop, but actually leads a secret life far more dangerous and intense. He’s also charming, dresses fab and acts like he doesn’t have a wit of sense about him. But further could be from the truth. 

Amon does much of this -- introducing himself as merely a bard and pouring on the charm to enchant people around him. He’ll even purposefully act the fool, and rarely brings his knowledge of technology and Allagan relics into the conversation unless it’s brought up to him first. 

The Phantom of the Opera

I think the picture says it all. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the Red Death was inspiration behind Amon’s original designs in FFIII.

Tagging: Whomever hasn’t done this before and wants to. Go for it!

...stranger than you dreamt it...

(an elezen-ed Amon at last! a thousand thousand thanks to @tallbluelady for their mod wizardry )

I remember there was mist… swirling mist upon a vast, glassy lake…

(I am once again dressing Viola up as Christine Daaé)

[abyssalmermaiden]

“You did very well, my dear. He is pleased with you.”

(somewhat of a crimes enabled redo of this concept)

[abyssalmermaiden]

"Let your soul take you where you long to be! Only then can you belong to me..."

Viola (my Allagan OC) is basically like if Christine had been a little too into the Phantom's whole deal XD

also I realize these drawings are essentially this meme

[abyssalmermaiden]

Who’d believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl, who’s gone and slept with the patron?

(Re-do of some of my earliest crimes-enabled gposes)

[abyssalmermaiden]

Your chains are still mine- you will sing for me!

[abyssalmermaiden]

Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light...

[abyssalmermaiden]

Sing, my angel of music!

Sing for me!

Viola's full Christine cosplay

[abyssalmermaiden]

“Think of me, think of me fondly when we’ve said goodbye-”

[abyssalmermaiden]

Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl, who's gone and slept with the patron?

(Medusa: @yloiseconeillants )

[abyssalmermaiden]

I am your Angel of Music...

come to me Angel of Music...

[abyssalmermaiden]

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before, let your soul take you where you long to be-

Only then can you belong to me ...

[abyssalmermaiden]

-Find the man behind the monster This repulsive carcass who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty,

Secretly, secretly…

(though usually hidden beneath lavish robes- all Amon's scars are from experiments on himself or wounds inflicted by chimeras and other creations of his)
