[the-elf-mahat]

a-z myth challenge (goddess’s version): Bastet.

she was a goddess of ancient Egyptian religion. She represents the protection and harmony of homes and temples. She was the goddess of war in Lower Egypt, before the unification of ancient Egyptian cultures. The cat was her sacred animal.

[the-elf-mahat]

from motherly snake-skirted coatlicue: the moon, the stars, the warrior god of the sun — huitzilopochtli were born. both tender and unforgiving, she is a primordial goddess that carries the creation of the world; her necklace of hearts and hands and skulls remind you that she is the mother of the god who sprung forth ready for war. and within her lies the birth and death, grave and womb.

APHRODITE: laughter-loving, sweet smiles, dressed in silk and satin, flower in their hair, thrives on attention, sees the world as a runway, unapologetically sexual, the sea washing their ankles, in love with love, stirrer of passion, cunning concealed by painted lips, secret daggers, doves, revolution in their kiss, delighting in the waves, flirtatious winks, strolling along the beach, staring wistfully from a balcony, this is how to be a heartbreaker, your girlfriend thinks they’re attractive, wants to be adored, gets turned on by danger

APOLLO: glitz and glamour, art galleries, turning the volume up, being made of gold, neatly-organized music sheets, notebooks filled with poetry, bathing in the sunlight, the powerful urge to create, collecting vinyl records, beautiful cover of Wonderwall, playing multiple instruments, tasting like sunshine, healing touch, speaking in prophecies, smile mingled with wrath, shunning lies, sporting shades, hanging out at music festivals with their friends, sleeps naked, arrow to the heart, paint brushes, probably has a Tinder account

ARES: armed for battle, wants to raise a dog with their significant other, soft spot for children, gives piggyback rides, scarred body, blood on their hands and face, willing to fight the world for the ones they love, fights against injustice, warm hugs, well-worn combat boots, boxing gloves, bandages wrapped around bruised knuckles, fist raised in protest, ignites revolutions, fear is a prison, more sensitive than what their tough shell may have you think, exhausted, damaged goods, force to be reckoned with, red roses, curses under their breath

ARTEMIS: keen senses of a hunter, freckles like constellations on their skin, piercing eyes, disheveled braid, moonlight peeking through the shadows, the calm of the forest at night, lying on the grass and staring at the stars, mother doe and her fawn, protecting their kin, the moon shimmering on a still lake, quiver full of arrows, resting against the bark of a tree, running with wolves, bonding while circled around a campfire, not being much of a people person, arrow hitting its target, popping egos, patience on 3%, touches heaven and returns howling

ATHENA: discerning gaze, unreadable face, the patience of a life-long teacher, quiet museums, owl perched on their finger, armor that intimidates, eye for architecture, plays the sims for the sole purpose of building houses, studied the blade while everyone else was busy getting laid, big fan of logic, loves brain teasers, go-getter, balls of wool displayed on shelves, ancient buildings, sweaters in neutrals and cool colors, hair done up, can kill you with their brain, heads to the library often to research, sharpened pencils, abs that can cut steel, stoic statues, pottery classes

DEMETER: soil-covered hands, smile that can bloom flowers, skin loved by the sun, being the mom friend, can lift you and all of your friends, flowers kept in the pockets of overalls, takes pride in their beautiful garden, speaks to their plants, leaves rustling in the wind, stalks of wheat, picking fruit, greenhouses, heart as strong as a mountain, values simplicity, daisies dotted across a collarbone, curls crowned with flowers, folded pile of sweaters in warm hues, pulling out fresh-baked bread out of the oven and the smell wafting through the air

DIONYSUS: drunk shitposter, on their sixth glass of wine before you’ve even finished your second, seductive smirks, untamed curls, rich fabrics on dark skin, sleek-furred panthers, theater masks, stage productions, receiving a standing ovation, rose caught between their teeth, being the baby of the bunch, wild parties that last from sundown to sunup, creeping vines, inspiring loyalty, grand opera houses, masquerade balls, rolls of film, shattered chandeliers with broken glass scattered across the wine-spilled floor, pouring champagne into flutes, lives for the applause

HEPHAESTUS: the calloused hands of someone who knows labor, sweaty brow, flame burning in their eyes, inventive mind, broad shoulders, steampunk goggles, nuts and bolts stored away in little boxes, ashes, striking a match, blueprints for future projects, fixing up a busted up car and giving it cool upgrades, wrestles with bitterness, work boots have seen better years, wrinkled plaid shirts, iron melted by blazing fire, huge jackets, crafting masterpieces, greased-stained overalls, fascination with robotics, pain is fuel, stack of weaponry, even their muscles have muscles

HERA: resting bitch face, dressed to the nines, cows grazing on a pasture, cool rain, loving and hating fiercely, hand clutching a string of pearls, large chandelier with glittering crystals, plays the sims for the sole purpose of killing off their sims, romance to realism, pictures of the sky while flying on a plane, files that under fuck it, downs glasses of wine as they relax with a scented bubble bath and netflix, like their selfie or you’re grounded, knows 57 convenient ways to murder a man, dark eyes that penetrate your soul, marble and gold

HERMES: devil-may-care smile, ink-stained hands, always up-to-date on the latest technology, will steal your french fries, does it for the vine, shitposter, puts googly eyes on everything, meme hoarder, long drives on the highway, ma and pop diners, spontaneous road trips, folded maps, fingers dancing across the keyboard of a laptop, shooting hoops on the basketball court, chatting up strangers as you all journey to your own destinations, goes jogging in the morning, mixes red bull with coffee, menace on april fool’s, hoodies and sneakers  

POSEIDON: storm with skin, colorful coral reefs, waves crashing against the shore, the sea casting its spell, stroking the soft fur of a cat, their heart pounding as their horse’s gentle trot speeds into a gallop, tousled locks, clothes smeared with paint, owns several sketchbooks yet always yearns to own more, leather jackets, fondness for diy projects, handwriting that flows across the page, nimble fingers playing the strings of a violin, velvety singing voice that haunts your dreams, mood as ever-changing as the sea, the roar of a motorcycle, compass with a spinning arrow

ZEUS: thunder in their heart, running on coffee, flash of lightning, natural charisma, eloquence, badass in a nice suit, aficionado of history, force of nature, lenny face, pretends that they don’t have feelings but they do, nightmare-filled nights, proud arm around their lover’s waist, high-rise buildings, planes soaring through a cloudless sky, technician on the piano, maintains order, strong handshake, juggling multiple events on their busy schedule with apparent ease, most likely to be voted class president out of their peers, expensive watch, like a boss

VERDICT: Ares by a mile, with Aphrodite and Poseidon tied for second. Gotta say I expected more from Hermes and Dionysus, but they put in a strong showing too.

[the-elf-mahat]

Awwa, she looks beautiful! Thank you so much, @isei-silva!

Mahat for @the-elf-mahat!

Tried a new ink pen brush and coloring style !

[the-elf-mahat]

Borrowed some scars from the Kul’Tiran and Mag’har Orc models to make Mahat look a bit more like she’s supposed to. Girl is almost entirely composed of scar tissue, whiskey, and anger management problems.

“Our lives, but a series of masks. Masks we take great effort to maintain. Masks that we decorate with notions to our conscience in hopes that their gleam shall cover the emotion and the persona that lay beneath. As all of our days are a masquerade, our interactions a dance, and who we are simply a series of covers to guard us from this world.”

You are hereby invited to attend..

The Descent Masquerade

A celebration of the aspects of our society that few would openly entertain. Though our methods may be noble or vile, we all still decorate our masks in our own way to present the face we wish others to see.

Thus, we invite you to join us in Pandaria, upon the Eastern Edge of the Jade Forest on the afternoon and evening of June 16th, beginning at 4 bells. Please take the time and effort to decorate a mask to your liking, adopting a persona or animal guise you feel most attributes to that hidden part of you, the things others so seldom see. All those without a mask will unfortunately be turned away.

The Masquerade is beyond the bounds of the Stormwind Trade Commission and Alliance law, thus expect that a measure of chemical and sensual indulgences will be provided to all whom attend to their liking. Challenges and games of the physical and mental kind will be on offer as well, along with several overlapping offerings to those of particularly keen affect.

We hope to see many of you walking among us on that evening. Let us wear our masks with pride, if only for a single night.

OOC INFORMATION:

The Coldwall Collective is reaching it’s three year anniversary, on the day of June 19th! This event on the 16th is designed to be a celebration of that fact, as well as a thank you to all of the people and guilds on this server who have made this place such a home to us all, given us amazing story and characters, and welcomed us into this evolving world.

The setting, OOCly, for this event is the Temple of the Jade Serpent in the Jade Forest of Pandaria. We will begin admitting people into the grounds officially at 4pm ST, and the event is slated to last for 3-4 hours but may run longer dependent on the feel of the event.

The masquerade will offer a number of entertainment options, from dancing, drinks, and drugs to fights and mental/party games. It is a freeform event, and though there will be a number of entertainment options, attendees are encouraged to mingle and enjoy the space to their leisure. There shall also be a number of more indulgent options, and while nothing will be overt, we want to make it clear that this is an 18+ event due to the themes on display! We ask that any engagements against Blizzard TOS be kept to private chats, should they arise.

Please, feel free to design a mask for the event and post it onto tumblr! If you tag us here at @coldwall-collective​ we will happily reblog your mask/outfit to show it off! Masks -are- required for attendees, but you need not go out of your way to draw one up. A simple TRP blurb will be fine!

We encourage heavily all attendees to create a totally new TRP/MRP for the evening. Invent a name, make up a new little profile, all in keeping of the nature of the masquerade and it’s feel.

The theme of this night is intended to allow everyone on this server to ‘step into our world’ for the evening. See in romantic and entertainment senses what it is to be Coldwall. There will be a number of hidden aspects throughout the masquerade, open to those with a keen eye and a talent for putting together pieces and seeing the truth behind the mask. Perhaps you might find something you never expected to see.

The evening shall be what you make of it. So come and enjoy a night with us. A night of letting go.
