The Search for Ingredients

Prompt #2 - Wildflower Festivals

Villages across Castimeria host flower festivals on a cascading basis-- there’s always one going on somewhere. A plethora of market stalls woven with blooms pop up almost overnight and time seems to stand still as the entire community comes together for a joyful time of celebration and lighthearted competition. Draw or write your character attending a flower festival. Your piece must include your character and a marketplace decked with flowers.

Celaou went to the Castemira markets rather early in the morning to have his pick of flowers and merchants' full attentions as he tried to find the perfect ingredients to make a shampoo that would take the green stains out of his hair and feathers. Thankfully there are plenty of merchants to talk to and plenty of wares to choose from. 

This one actually features @percy-frayer's character valrie

broken vows, broken horns

"Leave, and never come back. If you ever set foot in this city again, you're dead, you hear me?" He spits in Val's direction before turning away, muttering under his breath, "Traitorous little devil."

This is a little glimpse into Val's past, back when they were 17.

When I made Val's tattoos, one of the other players said that the snake motif reminded them of gang tattoos where the symbol of the gang is repeated across the body. That planted the seed for Val's backstory in my head. And even more perfectly, I had already decided weeks ago that the reason Val is never seen without their captain's hat is that their horns had been broken many years ago.

But why would breaking of horns matter? Oh, of course. It's an all-tiefling gang! And broken horns is a sign to anyone who knows the gang/criminal underworld that "this person is not to be trusted, do not let them join your crew".

So I ended up with a tiefling gang called the Horned Serpents, and decided to place them in the port city of Xen, where Val will be taking the party after rescuing Rook. This would explain why Val hadn't been there in years (15 to be precise), and thus allow the DM to surprise me with whatever is going on there.

Unbeknownst to me, Xen and the surrounding area has a... complicated history with the Hells, and already is wary of tieflings. So it makes perfect sense that the tieflings there would band together, especially if they were already ostracized. (Yay for accidental mind-reading!)

Val was basically raised by the Serpents, but they are too kind, too good a person to be complicit in gang violence for long. So when they were offered the chance, they became an informer, leading to the gang's dismantling and downfall. But some of the surviving/escaped members discovered Val's treachery and came after them, beating them and breaking off their horns. And, of course, delivering the warning to never return to Xen.

Val fled and never looked back. For 15 years they've sailed all around the continent, but never docked in Xen. But if returning there is what it takes to save the life of one of their passengers, they'll do it.

"Baby you are my lucky star!" A certain Idol's past has a lot of color and music. But it wouldn't be bright and colorful always, one performance haunts him to this day. But to look upon the past is nice sometimes.

The underrated Valri Bromfield

I did it! The official reference sheet of my Rook, Valri Aldwir.

I should do these more often to work on facial expressions and consistency. Anywho, hope you enjoy!!

some recent CAS "experiments" (...heh, get it?)

Some of the characters from the Black Desert campaign that I've been spinning around in CAS lately... In order: - Captain Kyron "Val" Valris, my temporary character for while Rook gets kidnapped, got another coat. - ????, Rook's mother, finally got a face. - Dr. Purity/Meladria/we-still-don't-know-his-real-name, the BBEG, got a cannon appearance/face reveal for the first time. - Sigmar, Dr. Purity's avatar/corpse puppet, I finally felt confident enough to share his sim.

Bonus sulky Purity, bc the Vanguard foiled his plans and he has to stop following Rook around.
