He/Him. I write, code, and love OCs. Sometimes I video edit memes.

Expect mostly art reposts! I'm not good at being outspoken about myself or my characters 😇

(also sorry but artificial int banners/pfps usually = block, out of an abundance of caution)

13) Lucien Sablecrest
God of darkness, one of three Divine Generals surviving in BD:T…technically. Once a leader of sorts next to Zade, due to his strategic brilliance, Lucien fully disconnected from the angelic army during The Turning Point, and returned full-time to his original role—Demon Lord.
February 22, 2025 at 6:54 PM
12) Akio Redwing
God of fire, one of three Divine Generals surviving during BD:T. Sharp in nearly every sense of the word, Akio is a rough-and-tumble tactical genius and terrifying combatant both. One of the first Divine Generals, Akio has been the angelic army's vanguard since his induction.

11) Corryl Truecliff
God of earth, one of three Divine Generals surviving during BD:T. He's since split his responsibilities between military leadership and training his late best friend's son, Allen. Strong as he is patient, Corryl quickly absorbed military expertise from the other generals.
February 22, 2025 at 5:03 PM
10) Zade Dawnforge
God of light, one of the seven Divine Generals before "The Turning Point," first among equals alongside Lucien, his counterpart. Befitting his element, he is a blinding ray of sunshine, uplifting and inspiring all around him, despite his lack of formal military training.

Saw this posted elsewhere and this is why the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice is so potent; it doesn't seem like it at first, but "don't look back" is an impossible task like "tell a lie that is true."

To escape with your love, you must not love them.

>:O me when i fucking get that man

9) Vanessa
New god of air and vanguard/strategist in the angelic army. Vanessa is another long-time friend of Xavier, and though she's often not directly involved with his and Niki's operations, she will occasionally help plan. She's unusually savvy, which draws Niki to her…and the feeling's mutual.
February 4, 2025 at 12:28 AM
8) Trevor
New god of electricity and angelic army vanguard, Xavier's brother from another mother. Though far from the subtlety of Xavier and Niki's operations, he's often involved in other ways. He's outwardly simple, but there's more to him and his history than just being a super-soldier…
February 3, 2025 at 9:57 PM
7) Julie
An apprentice barkeep and university student, Niki's best friend and confidant. Since stowing away and moving into the angelic stronghold, she's made herself useful in the mess hall and resumed her family trade, tailoring. Her unrelenting friendliness has made her quite popular already.
February 3, 2025 at 7:55 PM
6) Connor Silverthorn
A mage with legend-worthy breadth of skill; something about the arcane magic in Connor's blood has given him the capability of wielding every earthly element. Oldest and largest of the group, Connor is the multi-tool that can handle every odd situation Allen and Sarah cannot.
January 25, 2025 at 7:13 PM
5) Sarah Silverthorn
Half-angel master archer and arcane mage. She and her older brother grew up in the angelic stronghold due to their parents' status as war mages. With few other kids around, and similarly orphaned young, Sarah and Allen became friends very early in their lives.
January 25, 2025 at 6:39 PM
4) Wes Dawnforge
Protagonist of Become Divine: Manifest, the last of the series. Wes is a prickly, irate scholar who, after studying and living abroad for several years, has taken it upon himself to protect his local community of demons from the many groups who've targeted them.
January 22, 2025 at 9:29 PM
3) Allen Dawnforge
Protagonist of Become Divine: Transcend, the first in the series. Allen is the son of the late God of Light, Divine General Zade. He was orphaned at 5, and out of necessity, has been trained to become the angelic army's secret weapon since. Few people alive know he exists at all.
January 22, 2025 at 8:50 PM
2) Niki Amberleaf
Protagonist and POV character of BD:R, in contrast to Xavier, the "focal" character, in essence. A stowaway from another continent, Niki repeatedly stumbles into Xavier by chance. She's offered magic training, room, and board in exchange for helping investigate recent incidents.
January 22, 2025 at 8:14 PM
Starting with protagonists, out of order, because I have favorites and it isn't subtle.

1) Xavier Dawnforge
Protagonist of Become Divine: Resurrect, the second entry in my main story series. Xavier is a quiet, brooding type, with a powerful gravity about him, repelling and attracting people alike.
January 22, 2025 at 7:18 PM
I don't talk about my OCs enough despite them being a big part of me. Let this be an excuse to introduce some of them!

can you call it insufferable when we love her (and your art in general) too

ah, same, I only half exist

One little extra; I guess he's the equivalent of a PhD student, irl. And now that I put it like that, it's pretty fitting actually

4) Wes Dawnforge, protagonist of Become Divine: Manifest, the third entry!

Wes is an apprentice historian and vigilante, abroad in Syluay. Unlike his older brother, Xavier, he is exactly as prickly as he looks. Many assume he's nothing more than an overzealous thug. They're only mostly wrong.
November 23, 2024 at 10:44 PM
3) Allen Dawnforge, protagonist of the first story, Become Divine: Transcend! He's the secret weapon of the ailing angelic army; all but two of the Divine Generals were killed in a tragedy known as The Turning Point, including Allen's father. He is the new, fledgling God of Light.
