#this animatic for zyvan is a metaphor of death of the self

[maroonian]

so the underworld saga of epic dropped recently and i had brainworms

this is a wip lets see if i ever actually finish it YAHOO

more gush under cut

basically i had this image in my head for a small animatic regarding my current campaign PC, an aasimar oathbreaker paladin/divine soul sorcerer multiclass. his name is azrael zyvan luque and hes kind of a fucked up little guy.

hes kind of a weird aasimar, in that per the campaign story he originally looked like a blend of the heritages his material plane parents had (tabaxi mom, kenku mom), with celestial features from his unknown celestial parent.

he was indoctrinated into a cult as a child after basically being stolen from his parents (tricked under the guise of a "religious studies scholarship"). and then he was consumed by the goddess of a cult (echidna the mother of all monsters, in this campaign, is a horrible giant horrorterror style monster goddess that is enclosed within the planet in amber) and horribly mutated partway into an aberration.

its given him horrible mental instability! he sometimes frenzies and the rest of the party has to put him down. recently he got an """upgrade""" to this that makes him Even Worse :) so that was fun !!!

hes totally normal about this (hes not). this animatics kind of a metaphor for the trauma of his loss of self. killing the old self and becoming the new, worse version of himself while waiting to die :,)

hes currently on the cusp of an oath change to redemption with his original god! and also learning how to live and not. waiting to die. and also learning to rely on his DEFINITELY NOT friends
