I also wanna do vampyr/san'layn biology thing because I yearn for more speculative biology projects, but something I can actually collaborate with people over- instead of just my personal slug project.

Which I'm happy for people I trust to get in on, but I can understand why they don't wanna! Wah!

Why not make an elf for Midnight. Sure why not. This is Saeldryn. He has a pet rabbit probably and dresses like this because it's the "done thing"

I really gotta make an up to date outfit reference for the lad, but anyway!!! I gotta give him more development and questions always help
(gosh how do I even go about describing this?) Four images of the character Berino. A sweet but very void corrupted shapeshifter. One is of him in his fully monstrous form with his back to the viewer, stretching his arm back behind his head. Another is him leaning against a chest of drawers with a mug of tea in one hand. His additional limbs are retreating back into his body while they hold aloft a scarf. A third image is him in a fully human state putting the scarf on while his cheeks are red and a cold mist billows from his mouth. The final image is more detailed and involves the character in a groggy state, dressing into a pink, fluffy dressing gown. His eyes are still shut as he tightens the belt over his waist. Below it is an absolute sea of limbs, blades and pitted skin. His lower half has eight additional limbs made up of hands and boney scythes. the primary pair are folded over eachother patiently, while a large, jagged tail coils around him. 1. What is your OC's favorite color? 2. What do they like to do when they're alone? 3. What would be their "catchphrase" if they had one? 4. What are their dreams like? 5. What characters can they relate to most? 6. What's their biggest strength and biggest weakness? 7. What's a famous quote that they live by? 8. Do they have any irrational fears? 9. If they had a "theme" what would it be called and what would it sound like? 10. How would they describe themselves in three words? 11. If you could only explain their backstory in 20 words or less, how would you do it? 12. What's the worst thing that's happened to them? 13. If "that" had never happened, what would be different about them? 14. What's the most embarrassing thing they've done? 15. Have they ever committed a crime, intentionally or not? 16. What were their early years like? 17. What's life for them like right now? 18. How did, or how will they die? 19. If they could change just one thing about their past, what would it be? 20. Are they confident that everything will turn out okay for them? 21. What's their family like? Are they on good terms? 22. Have they ever been in a relationship? 23. How many friends do they have? 24. Are they/would they be a good parent? 25. Are they/would they be a good partner? 26. How would they act in social gatherings like a party? 27. Who is their absolute favorite and least favorite person? 28. What kind of friend are they? 29. What kind of pet would they most want to have? 30. Would you really consider them lik able? 31. If they were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would they bring? 32. Their favorite person is in great danger, who is it and how would your OC react? 33. If they were asked to recommend some music artists, which 5 would they recommend? 34. If they were let loose in a mall, which store would they run to first? 35. If they were in a fighting game, what would their "ultimate" be? 36. If they had to move to another country, where would they most want to move to? 37. What would they do if they saw a lone crying child? 38. How would they respond to "I love you"? 39. If they met a younger version of themselves, how would the two of them react to each other? 40. If they met you, knowing you made them, what would be the first thing they say? 41. What would be their "RIP (name) you would've loved (thing)"? 42. If they were a Pokemon Gym Leader, what type would they specialize in? 43. They found a monkey's paw, what would they try to wish for and what would happen? 44. What's a topic that will get them to yap for hours on end? 45. If they met their first ever design of themselves, how would they react? 46. They have been sentenced to death and are now facing lethal injection, what's their last meal? 47. If they had a DC Lantern color, what would it be and what would it be powered by (like how green lantern is powered by will, yellow lantern is powered by fear etc)? 48. What's a funny secret that they'll never tell anyone? 49. Which celebrity's death would leave them in shambles? 50. What is their worst "hear me out"? 51.

Omguyhudargjijh--

Given he's worked Blackwater and has had so many swashbuckling, scandalous liasons? Probably a naga maybe! But not just your regular sea witches. When the other guys were going gaga over sirens, he saw these varieties and went "oh yeah. Bet."

He's no coward.

21 Heavens no! He abandoned his family and cheated on his wife numerous times! He's dead to them! Only one of his kids that sort've likes him is Tristan and they rarely see eachother. Veznix hated him for a while until this campaign where it's still... Complicated

45? He'd be mad I made him skinny.

He's just a silly wimpy baby!

And it's definitely not ironic that he's scared of monsters in the woods or anything! :DDDD

Anyway, you shouldn't be nice to me just because I draw hot beefy middle aged goblins and twunky slug men with space pica.

But you should totally be nice to me because I'm, like... super cute and funny and I predicted player housing, so clearly I'm a super smart genius person clairvoyant type maybe
