Eiko gives Randy a little tutorial on how to make spells for exorcisms— what she doesn’t know is that Randy has his own artistic vision on how to tackle magic

| First Ninja — but with a little spin to his design |

There is like one frame in Nomicon where Ninja is shown wearing a robe and I thought it looked pretty awesome— so I immediately wanted to draw First wearing it…

Here’s the inspiration

@meyexe This comment immediately made me think about the “am I bad at math” meme, but I couldn’t post it in the comment :((

| Tengu Doodles | | featuring a small doodle of @hirumi25 Tengu— Jin 🥺✨ |

[this is AU territory so some things might be different from the OG lore ]: I don’t know what to say about my Tengu…— He used to be a neutral warrior living on the top of the mountain. He would duel anyone who wished to face him. But ever since the Sorcerer appeared, his powers slowly corrupted Tengu, making him aggressive and delusional— On the promise that Sorcerer will leave him alone— he descended from his mountain, and burned down the human village. That night he unknowingly killed the rest of Norissu nine members— leaving only the First Ninja alive.

| [#1] The pains of being a Ninja and a dad |

“Sometimes a monster just won’t die — It takes me on a wild goose chase around the whole city. And once it finally falls, then I have a brief moment to realize that the sun is already setting, and I still have work to do at home. Then I end up breaking my own doors (just a ninja habit), scaring my kids, and giving Plop Plop a heart attack (if he so happens to look after them that day). A Ninja must have at least one day for himself… let me write that down”

My favorite thing about Lilly is that she probably ruins Viceroy’s bathroom at least three times a month with a hair dye

| AU: Glow of Amber — "Suppression of Tengu demon” |

"800 years ago, a bloody battle was fought between First Ninja and Great Tengu demon — They were evenly matched — But Ninja had something the demon didn’t— A very powerful partner. The goddess of Amber, who wasn’t armed with a sword or any other weapon— instead she carried a sacred stone. Together they defeated the beast and sealed it inside.”

“This event stirred up the other powerful spirits in the land — They’ve all turned their eyes to Ninja, all of them were prepared to avenge their fallen friend”

| Rc9gn AU : The Glow of Amber |

Hello everyone! I finally have some time to sit down and write about AU that’s been cooking in my mind for some time now. It’s a bit OC focused but I will walk you through it— Now, I invite you bellow : D

| Before we start |

I want to thank everyone for the engagement under my posts— I really appreciate all the love you’ve given to my drawings 🥹

I’ve created many stories before, but this is the first time I’m actually writing one down — I hope you can give me a chance 👉👈

I would kindly ask for not reposting my drawings or texts without crediting me ♥️

| What happened 800 years ago |

We should start with the past before we get to the present.

Our story begins with first Ninja. His life wasn’t easy— he learned how to hold the blade before he learned how to write. He and his clan fought with evil plaguing the land — Many have lost their lives, but the biggest tragedy was yet to come. They decided to rest in a small, mountainside city. It was a terrible choice.

That nigh, an enraged Tengu demon descended from its Mountain and rained fire on the town. In the morning, First Ninja was the only alive member of his clan.

He swore to avenge his fallen brothers and sisters. He was determined to slay the beast.

However, this duel almost became his last. The Tengu wounded him and threw him off the mountain peak.

He was sure that he was about to meet his end, but fortunately, someone had found him just in time.

Once he woke up from his injuries, his savior presented herself to him as Lady of Amber — She didn’t save him out of pity — But just so he would be able to apologize for making a mess on her sacred ground. Yet, there was something that made her curious about him. She couldn’t understand why he would fight with a Tengu demon—he was armed only with a sword and determination— what was the outcome that he expected?

While it was hard for her to understand this peculiar human — She decided to lend a hand.

They’ve faced the demon together— but this time Ninja had a plan, and a secret weapon.

Just before they ventured up the mountain, the Lady created an amber stone so perfect, and so powerful, that it was capable of trapping a spirit of a demon inside— and ninja enhanced his suit with some of the Tengu feathers that he happened to get from the first battle.

Tengu still had to be defeated, and that part of the job lied in Ninja’s hands

That day, the Tengu was killed, and his spirit was imprisoned inside the stone — Which gained the name “Eye of eternity”

It was hard for them to decide what to do next. But there was one thing they could agree on — The land needed a hero, and soon more evil would emerge.

The ninja suit was crafted and the stone secured— it was time to train and prepare for another battles.

Following the death of the Tengu — many other powerful spirits emerged from the shadows to avenge their fallen friend. Everything wanted the Ninja dead

Eventually a peace was achieved. The spirits were defeated, and Sorcerer was sealed away by the magic of the sacred stone — Though Amber lady stood by Ninja’s side during every battle— He couldn’t find her after their final battle together. Her fate is unknown.

| Silence before the storm |

Thought the fate of the Amber lady is unknown— Before she disappeared, she and first ninja managed to start a family. They were blessed (or cursed) with twins. A girl, whom they named Eiko, and a boy, Nomi (I apologize for lack of creativity, but I don’t want to make it more confusing by coming up with a new name for him)

They grew and did everything together — But eventually they’ve went their own ways— Nomi stayed with their father— he dedicated himself to writing down the ninja history and details about the ninja arts. He also became the master of the sword, he could replicate almost every move of his father.

Eiko on the other hand, traveled across the land, mastering the art of exorcism, learning from the spirits, and climbing the ranks until she reached the title of the best exorcist in the land.

The time for first ninja to step down finally came. He entrusted Nomi with the task of choosing the next ninja.

Not only was he tasked, he was also warned — That he shouldn’t, under any circumstances, be the next one to wear the mask.

Nomi was a good son. He always listened to his father’s request— but this one — He was sure that he would bring his father honor if he took his place. After he put the mask on — It took control over him and forced him to go on a rampage

Why? The material from which the suit was crafted —Before the tengu took his final breath, he cursed his feathers so that First Ninja's bloodline couldn't have all this power to themselves

Eiko was called to town to get rid of the rampaging beast— She didn’t know who she was fighting— Until she struck the final blow— She gazed in horror at the body of her dear brother— Wishing to save him, she sealed his soul in the book he wrote— The ninja Nomicon — This was the day that tome became magical

She saved the village and it’s people but the act of killing her own brother angered the gods she worked so closely with — They cursed her to suffer the eternal life until the Nomicon was destroyed or until the Heavenly forgave her sin.

Eiko travells the land, choosing the next Ninja and protecting the book in which her brother now resides. | The Present aka The season 3 |

The sacred stone went through a lot throughout the years — and finally, it reached its breaking point and snapped in half, loosing all its magical properties— The Tengu was given freedom again, but this time he chose not to possess any of the Ninja’s friends— Instead he flew high, away from the city, with a goal of recovering his past strength.

It’s summer vacation, and the last thing Randy wants to think about is upcoming doom.

The Nomicon is clueless on what to do about the broken sacred stone. Even Eiko was shocked by the situation. She doesn’t have any powers that would make stone magical again— For her it looked like a case of severely broken wine glass — you can fix it, but there’s no way it would ever hold wine again.

A new stone or other seal must be made— and it has to be done fast — With a Tengu roaming free, other formidable spirits might join him— if something isn’t done about this situation, the Norrisville might face a very possible destruction.

Eiko decides that all of them must go to the Old Norrisville, a very traditional, and a very old town located few miles outside the main city. There’s a chance that this ancient city might hold answers to their present problems.

Friday — finally… — Time to sit down and write down things about my rc9gn AU

[whispering-radiance]

[whispering-radiance]

[OC] | Lilly - the paranoid exorcist | They’re trying their best, but having to face monsters and ghosts can be terrifying at times — I wanted to give them a cool suit for ghost hunting, but my mind was empty

[whispering-radiance]

can you draw Nomi as a human?

Nomi is tired too

[whispering-radiance]

There are two more Ocs I want to show but I don’t have time to cook them a nice ref…— So take these doodles as a little teaser

[whispering-radiance]

I want to draw First Ninja trying the Super Samurai Sour Bombs— it would probably be similar to giving a Victorian child a monster drink
