Tia Alequin

Fire Kraeka bartender within the Oraeka Project world. She's a compassionate, doting, passionate caregiver to many a soldier and citizen of the city Pyrrh. It's practically her life's mission to be the person someone needs when they need it, whether that be a gentle embrace or just a shoulder to cry on.

Here's essentially a new drawing of her- im rather happy with how well the kind of outfit works on her.

Curated Spotify playlists to liven up your D&D sessions!

back on my dnd bullshit :')

Sometimes I think about restarting a lot of things. Rebuild from the ground up. My passion project is mostly that, a passion project. But wanting the ability to pour more time into it and seperate it from how I publicly talk to people sounds nice at times.

I'm just really tired these days though.

It sounds like an excuse and it feels like an excuse but it's a truth I hate admitting.

“The gate is opening!”

The rush of female soldiers donning mixtures of metallic armors and dense leathers over looser cloths scramble around the arch of a large stone structure. The structure itself was wedged into an intricate and ornate room, lanterns lining the siding of carefully crafted stone tiled walkways, flickering wildly despite there being no oil source. The ceiling was built in a way to allow light to filter in through layered windows up above, and the light cast itself down from the sun directly onto the smooth texture of the Gate. There upon the Gate’s surface were chiseled symbols and words, a language lost to most of the beings in the room. Yet they all knew what it meant when they started to light up.

The many faces of red look at the shimmering light that filtered in between the Gate’s archway while taking specified places as they’d been drilled for centuries. They waited, for none could tell at first who was connecting with this Gate from their position until it had fully formed. The magical aura the Runes imbued itself with created a curtain eventually. Ripples of the scene that appeared seemed like a faked mirror to most who looked at it, but what it showed on the other side resembled nothing like the ornate room it inhabited. Instead was the drowned landscape of bent over trees hanging desperately to the wet ground their roots had decided to call home. They sway dangerously close to each other and the grass with the long leaves on their branches rustling about. Rain flies into the room with the soldiers, creating more ripples in the imagery and making a mess of the floor around it. A single figure is resembled on the other side. She wore similar armor to the others, her horns blackened against the reds of her face and the whites of her hair. The iris of her eyes glow in comparison to the black sclera and shine brilliantly more as she steps through. 

A designated guard quickly rushes to the Gate’s side, placing a hand on a rune. The Aura starts to retract, taking the curtain imagery along with it until silence is perceived in the room once more.

Firstly, love your oc designs... omg... I'd like to let you yap about them all but my eye feels like its been grabbed by Taru and now I must read a lovely essay about them please

aww i'm glad you like the designs! Taru is part of the starting main character group(that will expand with uri, ameera and pravaal later) she's a blue mercenary of the order of the red moon which means she's specialized in infiltration and assassination mission you can imagine her a bit like a sort of secret agent or phantom thief with the sneaky acrobatics and all. Mercenaries in the kingdom of moon actually are a bit different than out world's it's like an actual society class sure most are just mercs but she's part of a sort of adventurer's guild and both her parents also dwell from there( her mom is actually part of a very renown family line of mercs but she has a more soldier like upbringing) and since her parents were part of the same "adventuring party" as Nakir's father they grew together and are very close friends, you can say they are almost family...speaking about her family she also has a younger sister that has no intentions of continuing the family traditions...you could even call her a "normie", they are close but neither of them can fully understand eachother so they are not always in synthony Taru hates boring things and is always looking for an adventure or something new or exciting to do bringing nakir with her, she's got an outgoing and somewhat blunt and ironic personality , when she's not working on any task or missions it's easy to find her in the local night club/pub with her bestie and Pravaal show's also part of her adventuring team, there they enjoy a few drinks, gossips and party hard she loves her job both for the thrill of doing something different or dangerous every time and the cash it brings her and is not ashamed to say it out loud other random facts are: she has a pet pink furball of an unspecified species and gender called Kevin, she is lowkey scared to lose her friends, she's asexual, she likes fashion but dislikes overly girly clothes/skirts
