#

@tight dove seems almost like a slight grain. That may or may not be an effect of the upscaling though.

queen spruce
#

Ye go for it

tight dove
#

the wings are at the ear area

#

just so u know

queen spruce
#

This is me getting out of my comfort zone so I'm down for whatever

#

Uh in his card art they look like they're on his headband

tight dove
#

they do?

silent glade
tight dove
#

hmmmmmm

queen spruce
#

Yeah they're higher up

#

And I prefer card art to animated art

silent glade
#

they're an accessory on his little crown/headband/helm thing

tight dove
#

theyre lower down on his in game model

#

lol

silent glade
#

similar to hermes's thing

queen spruce
#

Yeah I don't ref those lol

silent glade
#

there's differences on ALL models

tight dove
#

weird inconsistency

#

okay but now i know that

#

i like the ear wings tho

queen spruce
#

It's a difference and style and probably a miscommunication

#

Ear wings r good

silent glade
#

the hell kind of miscommunication was ferael

#

he's a fuckin disaster

queen spruce
#

Idfk

tight dove
#

what u mean

#

bout ferael

silent glade
#

dude

#

omg

queen spruce
#

The card art and game model are

silent glade
#

he's a fucking mess between the model and art

queen spruce
#

H

tight dove
#

never seen both at the same time

#

so idk

#

how different they are

silent glade
fading swallow
#

Don't post the ingame

#

I have him, don't do it

tight dove
#

whats the ingame one

#

i havent seen it

silent glade
#

i do too

fading swallow
#

Detail got uh

#

Lost

tight dove
#

his design is pretty different

#

but its still cool imo

silent glade
#

he's a fucking disaster and not the good kind imo

tight dove
#

ye i just looked it up

queen spruce
#

Oh rip

silent glade
#

i like, the cerulean/blue flare

#

of his hood/cape in the art

tight dove
#

hes a big goth in game

silent glade
#

and all the pretty details

#

but they tuned it down i guess to make him fit to the rest in-game

#

which is stupid

queen spruce
#

Also the green on his bow

#

Is so much

#

Desaturated

tight dove
#

tru

queen spruce
#

Green and blue are Big in the GB and it's a shame

silent glade
#

the most out of place GB in-game is niru and yet

#

he just

fading swallow
#

All I see is yellow.

silent glade
#

doesnt fucking LOOK LIKE THAT

fading swallow
silent glade
#

for his art

fading swallow
#

All the GB look yellow to me

queen spruce
#

Niru's ingame model is a MESS

fading swallow
#

Because I physically cannot parse blues

queen spruce
#

His hair isn't PURPLE

fading swallow
#

So it's fucking hilarious

#

All these dead dudes

queen spruce
#

Lolll

fading swallow
#

Wearing yellow

tight dove
#

they seem to have been getting better at consistency tho?

queen spruce
#

It's a very yellowish green

tight dove
#

like eironn's matches pretty well

queen spruce
#

Well, if they'd redo the old ones

tight dove
#

yeah

silent glade
#

i mean

#

in-game hair isnt purple

#

its still bluish but wrong

#

his skirt is purple

#

andim just

#

:thonk

fading swallow
#

Niru: Exists
Shemira: Oh no

tight dove
#

rero

queen spruce
#

Honestly Niru's kills me because he has this. Almost calm, vaguely gentle look to his face in his card art. And then his game model is. Hm.

fading swallow
#

Lol

#

I mean he's both a healer and a murderer

#

Soooo

#

Eh

queen spruce
#

I like the Cheshire model but also I rly like the trope of 'serenity in the storm'

#

*smile in the model

tight dove
#

ferael's ingame model: exists

fading swallow
#

Lol

azure wraith
queen spruce
#

GOD I HATE ANGELO'S ANIMATION SO MUCH

azure wraith
#

WHERE DID HIS CLOAK GO

#

But his sprite just looks so snooty & I love him for it

#

"so you want to dance, hagh?"

tight dove
#

Oh that valid

angelo is still sexy in game

#

smh

silver flare
#

@azure wraith i just want to say i love ur art style lmaooo its cute af

azure wraith
#

thank you!! i really appreciate it! uwu

silent glade
#

@azure wraith angelo's bust to sprite transition is just flipping a canvas

azure wraith
#

god why does that fit so much

#

imo Thane's bust to sprite transition is the only one that actually makes him look better

tight dove
#

valid shark

azure wraith
#

You know what'd be great tho?
Lore & Portraits for the commons

#

the world deserves to know more about Arkadios

silent glade
#

ulric was there when no one else was

reef nacelle
#

Thanes Sprite has the leetle braid

#

So I appreciate it v much

silent glade
#

WHERE

#

i have never

#

seen this

#

what do you mean

reef nacelle
#

Hold on

azure wraith
reef nacelle
#

Ok so @silent glade it's on the headshot of his Sprite for the wiki but literally nowhere else?

#
AFK Arena Wiki

Thane is exceptional at dealing sustained damage over his enemies. He focuses his skills on CRIT RATING, which allows Thane to deal more damage through critical strikes. Successfully dealing...

silent glade
#

damn i even went ot reference the game

#

its gone for his sprite

#

but the icon still has it

#

weird

reef nacelle
#

I'm keeping it

#

He deserves a cute little braid

silent glade
#

i like him with regular hair

reef nacelle
#

I just want leetle braid on the side

silent glade
#

still havent drawn anything good for thane

tight dove
#

owo

#

i drew thane in a bi shirt

#

like a day ago

#

anyone wanna see it again

reef nacelle
#

Pls send

tight dove
#

hewwo go

reef nacelle
#

I LOVE HIM!!!

#

I'm glad u also put the braid

tight dove
#

i love his little braid

#

theyre so difficult to draw tho

queen spruce
#

Definitely not exactly as I planned but here's Garion. A wilder-turned-graveborn. V classy-witch-doctor aesthetic and he probably has a buncha Wilder tribal tats but I can't be assed to draw them.

#

Oh wow his head is too big in hindsight

#

I'll fix that when I put it on my computer

tight dove
#

woah

#

he fucks

queen spruce
#

Hell yeah he does

#

His primary attack is probably his tail. V. DPS hero.

#

Ult probably has to do with those wicked claws

azure wraith
#

We talkin' AFK ocs?

queen spruce
#

Am now

#

Also Garion is hella sweet on Niru because he's a self-insert but he's rightfully terrified of Shemira. Niru is oblivious to his stupid asshole's flirting so he hasn't the mind to tell him off and Garion has no idea he's married.

#

sounds so appealing to meofgkfpefe

queen spruce
#

Oooooo, nice!!!!

ember harness
#

Ooh, sounds like he'll get along well with Thoran?

queen spruce
#

I'm thinking Garion was like a tribe's ambassador and in an attempt to he diplomatic with the Lightbearers, they turned on him and used him to get close to his tribe by a very, very cruel commander. His tribe was slaughtered and they left him tied to something in the middle of his tribe's ruins and he died slowly, cursing and screaming at the Lightbearers who did this, and when he was brought back he went on a tear and absolutely destroyed the squadron who killed his tribe. He doesn't necessarily hold a grudge against ALL Lightbearers, but he comes pretty dang close.

Goddamn

That took a while

For all the headcanon I have about my graveborn OC, I need to write down and illustrate it at some point.

Also, is it just this chat, or is GB by far the most popular faction?

silent glade
#

the people most active talk about GB a lot

#

1 person doesnt like that tho

queen spruce
#

A lot of the active artists rly love GB from what I've seen.

fading swallow

Too bad for those that don't like it but

Anyone on here got an Art Twitter/Tumblr?
I have a Tumblr where I post my art, but I also have a bunch of other stuff. I don't art super fast or frequently.

I draw almost exclusively masculine things or men so I can't drAw women to save my life
I have the opposite problem, lol. Somehow I can do masculine robots at least, but actual dudes? Lolnope

Ngl i ship Raine & Belinda just from how well they combine in the actual game
I can get behind this

I'm all for Caring Vedan but eeeh....
Part of me likes the idea of caring father Vedan, but part of me likes legitimately cold dickhead Vedan

#

Teach me how to draw deer legs i beg u

full grail
#

deer leg tutorial

#

look up digitigrade legs VS plantigrade legs

queen spruce
#

Digi legs are so fun to draw

full grail
#

@queen spruce agreed πŸ˜„ I find their lines of action way more dynamic

tight dove
#

Omg thanks

full grail
#

@tight dove I find the trick with deer legs is that the Knee (joint 2) isn't always super obvious and a lot of beginners get lost trying to find the hip/knee distance

#

and it ends up looking awkward because the hip is trying to be the knee or vice versa

queen spruce
#

They're more dynamic because while there are the same amount of joints, there's more between each one, giving the ability for more dramatic movement within anatomical boundaries. It's really nice.

tight dove
#

Okay thanks

queen spruce
#

Oof I struggled so long with knee placement

tight dove
#

Will keep in mind

#

I will try redrawing the deertaur eironn x golus later today

@shadow oasis @silver flare Thank you!!!

I will try to finish the lines and base colors tomorrow πŸ˜„

silver flare

^__^ yay

#

@shadow oasis your art is so cute too, i like how soft your safiya is : D most drawings of her are very cunning or severe so this is a nice change of pace!!!!

shadow oasis
#

@silver flare you are too kind ;w; My friend also pointed out that her expression was a bit too soft in comparison to her game art, but I couldn't bring myself to change it. I will try to draw her fiercer next time

silver flare
#

@shadow oasis no its not a bad thing at all shh!!!! its vwry sweet

Your legs need to be slightly thicker, I believe? Follow the curve of the back a little more and you're basically golden! ((If you need help, try referencing yourself in a mirror! 😊😊😊))

#

That being said, that is a gorgeous piece and you should be beyond proud!!

gusty robin
#

I've made some changes but I'm walking now so I'll send a pic when I'm home, and I'll wait for some more feedback. I'm slightly more pleased but still not happy with it. Thanks though! @slow ingot

@empty fractal do you have any social media we could follow you on? You're amazing!

gusty robin

#

You’re starting the legs at the skirt, from what I can see. The back should curve nicely into the leg. Let me see if I can show you.

gusty robin
#

Okay

slow ingot
#

Does that look better?

#

The legs might be a little bit too thick, but that’s a decent general idea, I guess. I hope this helps!!

I think about that when I open the app and see the loading screen. It's a rly neat image too because Niru is a necromancer thus raising the dead. Creating life from death, kinda of like Annih. And Belinda is kind of obvious I feel like.

#

That said, the Graveborn also oppose the Hypogean iirc

#

Might be a concequence of art style and similarity in theme tho

median wraith
#

one of the best art tutorials

rain nymph
#

Dunno if this should go here, but I'd argue writing is an artistic endeavor, so yeah. What do y'all think?

#

Just a prologue so far, but come Chapter 1 I can get on to the shippy stuff

#

Safiya's gonna have quite an interesting arc

full grail
#

@empty fractal you have an Art Twitter?

azure wraith
#

Can we add Shemira to smash bros

queen spruce
#

@rain nymph I posted a fic before and it was fine! So yeah, it counts!

rain nymph
#

Yay!

#

And ooh, what was your fic about?

queen spruce
#

Niru being the necromancer who raises Thoran, with a side of cute domestic between Niru, Shemira, and Silvestre

#

One sec I'm reading ur fic

gusty robin
#

@tight dove I'll try to make her thicc

tight dove
#

@azure wraith vedan would unironically make a good smash character

#

oh i also wrote the lore story for my graveborn oc if anyone wnats to read that :>

queen spruce
#

@rain nymph I love how you wrote Safiya's rise and fall. It makes a fantastic prologue, not setting up too much information to be overwhelming and giving a good characterization for her. And Ankhira's is a great juxtaposition to it, an unknown child with such vague description makes her just as intriguing as a character. Definitely @ me with each update you do on this!! I look forward to seeing it!

@tight dove I'd love to read it!

tight dove
#

owo there it is

#

do mind i wrote it on my phone

#

so idk if the spacing is proper lol

rain nymph
#

@queen spruce Thank you! I'm glad you like it, and yeah, will definitely keep you posted on updates! :D

tight dove
#

Hello, I'm thinking of drawing one of the girls but I'm not sure which one. Any ideas?

queen spruce
rain nymph
#

Ankhira or Mirael is my vote :)

azure wraith
#

Dreaf

rain nymph
#

And ooh, thank you!

tight dove
#

oh no not dreaf

#

hmm

#

safiya?

queen spruce
#

@tight dove That is wicked lore. Could use a few more details, but as an outline and something to reference, it's perfect. I need to make something like that for Garion.

tight dove
#

which details owo

#

there are some with his origin location i could add onto

#

but idk what lol

queen spruce
#

Just over all. Somethings are vague, lemme look over it again and see if I can be more specific for you

tight dove
#

alright ,thanks.

queen spruce
#

The ending is perfect

tight dove
#

gotta get the quote down there

queen spruce
#

The stranger graveborn is an interesting choice, but there's really no detail. What motivation did they have for raising him and then just leaving him?

The Graveborn are mostly about ambition and anger, I feel like (and this is totally just me, feel free to reject this he's your OC) he might fit along better if his anger had developed before death.

Could either A. give a graveborn necromancer the encouragement to raise him or

B. let him be revived on his own if the Graveborn wants him. Some Graveborn bring themselves back through sheer anger (see: Grezhul) and a deal with the Graveborn.

Sorry if I'm being confusing here, going by some lore the Graveborn appears to be both the faction and an entity of itself, specially in Niru and Grezhul's backstories.

Also in his origin it might help to throw in some placeholder names until you figure out more of what his old home used to be, but that's personal preference.

empty fractal
#

@rain nymph I will try😊😊

queen spruce
#

But again, if it's just for future reference and going back to it, it's lovely. Details can be fudged in a backstory

tight dove
#

ill keep those as notes for now till i decide to change anything

#

thanks.

empty fractal
#

@simple sand I only have Facebook for work. If you want to follow.

tight dove
#

wolah wtf

#

discord text translates to google doc

#

somehow

queen spruce
#

Of course! And again, take it with a grain of salt, it's just some ideas and my view of the Graveborn. There's no strict way to do it ofc.

#

oh yeah it's weird

#

you can ctrl+shift+v to paste plain text

tight dove
#

hes not really

#

much of a graveborn personality wise

#

i think

#

although he does develop that anger for people before his death

#

i think think i mentioned it though

#

i dont think*

#

it just ramps up after his death

queen spruce
#

You write it more as fear, but with that view, I can definitely read it as anger, too

tight dove
#

yeah its both really

#

i think you see the anger more at the end tho

queen spruce
#

You really do. And I like it in that regard.

tight dove
#

owo thanks

#

i wrote it like

#

5 in the morning lmao

queen spruce
#

LOL I know that feeling

tight dove
#

its weird bc i can only seem to write at non conventional times

#

like if i woulda written that for a non fan oc

#

i wouldnt have been able to lol

#

my brain would break

#

so im very proud

#

of writing this

#

I've decided that I'm going to draw Lyca

#

oo

#

lyca is pretty

#

She is, and I think it's better if I draw someone that isnt a graveborn

#

Cause that's all I drawπŸ˜…

#

mood

#

I just love all of the graveborns too much

#

Oh well

rain nymph
#

I've put it on AO3 ^_^

tight dove
#

@queen spruce i thought about it for a bit, about his reawakening. i thought maybe the graveborn who had corrupted the lake would come back later to reawaken the dead as graveborn.

#

how's that sound?

#

think it would make sense for him to be revived considering that

#

ill think more about it tho

queen spruce
#

Oh that's actually a really cool idea!!

#

giving him a few more details tho

tight dove
#

owo

#

garion is so good

#

he looks like a satyr and im a big fan of that

#

have you thought of a title for garion yet?

#

hmm there was some here days ago that had made a template kinda thing

#

think it would be useful to have owo

queen spruce
#

He's like. A satyr but with paws

#

instead of hooves

tight dove
#

i love that

queen spruce
#

I'm actually thinking on titles now. Perhaps 'The Last Breath'

tight dove
#

owo

#

how does that relate to him?

queen spruce
#

Short version: Because he smokes, LOL.

Long version: Uh, it's kind of a big deal in his backstory, the concept of breath. Even though he died of starvation and exposure, his tribe was slaughtered and burnt to the ground, him left tied up in the middle of it all as some kind of like warning to other Maulers, the taste of smoke and ash always in his mouth because of the fires. With his last breath he screamed for vengeance until he passed. A few days later he came back, poisonous smoke billowing from his lungs before he attacked the Lightbringer squadron that destroyed his tribe's home.

tight dove
#

oh

#

he originally a mauler?

#

πŸ‘€

queen spruce
#

Ye

#

thus his animal features

tight dove
#

owo nice

queen spruce
#

I need to add tattoos on him when I color him

tight dove
#

oh he got tattoos?

#

oof i just noticed his long ass braid

#

ur a god for drawing that

queen spruce
#

He has them I just haven't drawn them in

tight dove
#

ah

#

okay

queen spruce
#

Braids are a pain but I love the look of short hair w/ long ass braid

#

I'm trying to do it irl

tight dove
#

good look

queen spruce
#

I'm thinking his ult might be, like, a poisonous fog, but I feel like that might be too similar to Shemira. Maybe something with his claws tho, cause he's a DPS and agility based, not a mage.

#

Maybe one of his other abilities is like, surrounding one opponent in a poison fog

tight dove
#

oh i havent thought about skills at all

#

maybe he breathes fire fog?

#

it was kinda mentioned in what you wrote earlier

#

oooh

#

yknow one of those fire jugglers?

#

something like that maybe?

#

he could (if possible) use his tail to throw some kind of firebomb

queen spruce
#

I really like the idea of him having a fire-juggler attack style

tight dove
#

yeah

#

i feel like

#

his tails lenght and wavyness

#

gives that vibe

#

for some reason

queen spruce
#

And his tail is his base attack, maybe his tail is like Grezhul's hair-fire but he... actually uses it as fire.

#

The pointy bit of his tail is his main melee

tight dove
#

oh

#

maybe the tip of his tail can turn into fire?

#

and he like

queen spruce
#

Or the fur on his tail mby

tight dove
#

waves that around

#

yeah

queen spruce
#

ye

#

I like that

#

thank

tight dove
#

oh ur welcome

#

i think for makai's ult

#

he maybe spreads that corruption into like, the ground

#

or smthn

#

OOOOH

#

i got safiya elite lmao

#

1 pull

#

damn

rain nymph
#

Ayy!

tight dove
#

unfortunately i dont rly want safiya lol

#

i will gladly trade for eironn

rain nymph
#

RIP
If I had Eironn, I would be glad to trade with you
Wait, does the game have a trading mechanism? If not, they should add one

tight dove
#

the game doesnt

#

and in general

#

gacha games dont

#

kinda removes the purpose of gacha if u can just trade with eachother lmao

simple sand
#

@empty fractal I'll definitely follow! Could you DM me it maybe?

queen spruce
empty fractal
#

@simple sand yeah i send to DM😊

tight dove
#

owooo

rain nymph
#

That's a fair point ^_^;

tight dove
#

the graveborn are just preppy goths when u think about it

sage dune

He reminds me of Shegorath

#

From his Morrowind look

oof god

Yup

Holy shit

@empty fractal your art is sooooo lovely!!

its not gonna end up looking the way i want it to is it..

@Ecxcabre#8311 @alice#5485 Thank you !

@queen spruce yoooo this looks so good

@empty fractalspace space

trail jewel
#

dang

#

you guys got some talent

tight dove
#

idk how to draw scrawny characters lol

queen spruce
#

He needs a little more of a waist, his torso is too blocky. If I was still at home I'd redline it for you...

Also thanks everyone!! I'm rly glad y'all like him cause I'm gonna be writing about him later too L O L

tight dove
#

yeah he looks really thicc

#

for a scrawny boy

#

id rly appreciate the redline

#

ill change his face too

#

not as pointy as should be

queen spruce
#

Im at work now, sadly. I'll see what I can do when I get home but that's about six hours away. Maybe one of the others can help out in the meantime!

tight dove
#

ah okay.

viral hollow
#

@queen spruce I love your character concept. And I think it would make the graveborn idea of being stronger after death, and the threat of death/death not offering a release/or being your final grandest failure more weight.. so far all the Graveborne are ex Lightbringers . . . Which kinda points something being super special about them.. almost like a super natural eugenics club.. will only a few exceptions all the worth while are Nobility of some sort or highly educated.
It's uh... Not a good look. Unless thats the point...

#

*worth while Graveborne

tight dove
#

wait theyre ex lightbearers?

ember harness
#

Well, if humans default as Lightbearers

viral hollow
#

Sorry yeah I meant Lightbearers

silent glade
#

humans do default as LB

tight dove
#

oh rly

#

lmao

silent glade
#

they're one of esperia's creations, along with wilders, but have an affinity to wield the Light

#

Lightbearers.

#

all LB are also human if u look at em

#

and most GB used to be citizens of esperia

tight dove
#

oh

#

okay

#

do mermen default as wilders in that case?

silent glade
#

ahhh well if you take Seirus as your standpoint

#

they aren't technically included bc the ocean isnt the wilds

#

so they

tight dove
#

but theyre associated with wilders?

silent glade
#

*they would be like, initiated like Seirus was

tight dove
#

intitiated?

silent glade
#

he had to work with Wilders to be accepted as one

#

even though he really isnt one

tight dove
#

oh

#

otherwise he was unaligned in factions?

ember harness
#

Wilders are weird. You have animal people like Kaz and Ira and Nemora, then you have literal Trees and Fairies and Elementals

silent glade
#

yeah

tight dove
#

ah okay

silent glade
#

He's an elemental iirc

#

*Elementals such as Seirus are not directly inside the faction though.

#

trees, fairies, and woodland animals are equated to forests aka Wilders

silver flare
#

morvus is a dwarf though!! but otherwise u are right

ember harness
#

LB are humans/dwarves
GB are undead humans
Wilders are forest creatures
Maulers are desert creatures?

silver flare
#

i dunno if GB have to specifically be human, but so far the track record shows so

tight dove
#

gb are ONLY undead humans?

#

doesnt seem right

#

πŸ€”

rain nymph
#

I mean, I see them as factions instead of races
So I feel like there's a lot of overlap
Wilders and Maulers especially

tight dove
#

i think they can be both

rain nymph
#

Also Shemira has horns, right? I wonder if they're part of her mask, or if she was a bit animalish when she was alive

tight dove
#

maybe she was wilder before

silver flare
#

i like to think gb dont have to be human. i hope afk arena releases gb wilders or maulers.

tight dove
#

same

viral hollow
#

The way I see it is that each group has a defining social element that effects them physically.

ember harness
#

Yeah

silver flare
#

yeah!!! their culture separates them, moreso than specifical race or species. like wilders and maulers have some overlap, but maulers are more warrior like with alot of pride and emphasis on strength and cunning while wilders are more peaceful and defensive, with emphasis on preserving life

#

tho i may be speaking out of my ass LOL

tight dove
#

i think thats fairly accurate

silver flare
#

and lb have alot of diverse cultures (as with alot of human groups in fantasy) so their values seem to lie anywhere between honor to self interest to extinguishing evil against the Light

viral hollow
#

Lightbearers are "civilized" structured I ways that supposedly benefits everyone when it's run right. (See the old Kings rule)
Their bodies are more homogenized to fit the different cogs to move the civilizing machine forward.

silver flare
#

gb is more tricky since i think they all have different reasons for why they became gb. but i suppose the relationships they foster center around those bitter reasons.

#

@viral hollow ooo i like that

#

wilders and maulers are definitely the most simple of the 4 factions

tight dove
#

'4'

#

smh

#

there are 6

silver flare
#

LOL

#

idk what celestials and hypos even are yet based on just the two heroes

tight dove
#

celestials = good boys

#

hypogeans = bad boys :((

viral hollow
#

The wilders are aiming for Egalitarian Anarchism, think a hippie commune, where balance is key and citizens are expected to give what they can. Balance isn't about sameness but difference and acceptance. Which is why they vary so much.

tight dove
#

oo i like the sound of that

silver flare
#

i guess celestials are god like and developed a perfect sense of aloofness and superiority (not from arrogance, just from existing so above them) from that when witnessing the mortal factions, but are also wholeheartedly dedicated to their cause of serving dura and the Light

#

like celestials feel a very distinct seperation from mortal beings

silent glade
#

celestials like athalia were created by dura

viral hollow
#

The Wilders are a anarchy that isn't borne of Egalitarianism. It it's basically a Fudal System that is constantly in flux. They have slaves, their entire existence is Conquest.

silent glade
#

like demigods

viral hollow
#

Which is part of the reason I love @tight dove

silver flare
#

ye to serve dura

#

she was ascended into a demigod i think

viral hollow
#

I mean Golus I love golus

tight dove
#

oh

#

lmao

silver flare
#

thats why i said god like, theyre not necessarily gods but they are above mortals

silent glade
#

thats what a demigod is

#

half-god

silver flare
#

ye i know

silent glade
#

im still wondering whats the connection between annih and graveborn

silver flare
#

but i didnt want to say theyre demigods bc only athalia is the example so i wanted to be more general about celestials

silent glade
#

there is clearly a connection

tight dove
#

annih is niru's mom

silent glade
#

annih is a male god

tight dove
silent glade
#

most of my curiosity is bc annih created the hypogeans but they dont share much with him

silver flare
#

yeah, especially since there is a connection bt LB and dura and LB and GB are kinda foils of each other, like how wilders and maulers are

silent glade
#

however the GB have teh same aesthetic

tight dove
#

no

#

gb are green

silent glade
#

long white hair, weathered clothing, and skeletal details

tight dove
#

hypos are purple

silent glade
#

i didnt say hypo

#

lol

#

I said Annih himself

silver flare
#

i bet there is some connection

tight dove
#

o

silent glade
#

which is curious but also

silver flare
#

the gods have their godly servants in celestials and hypos, then the mortals that reflect in their image

silent glade
#

Does Annih appreciate them or hate them?

#

Annih hates all of Dura's creation due to jealousy

tight dove
#

why cant they just share

#

smh

silent glade
#

do GB still count if revived with necromancy? does he take offense to avoiding death

silver flare
#

perhaps his creations are out of spite. having to create ppl in his image through dark magic upon duras creation, the LB

silent glade
#

bc the hypogeans spare no one

silver flare
#

i dunno i may be talking out of my ass again LOL

silent glade
#

hypo are just this universe's demons so its rlly strange

rain nymph
#

The Wilders are a anarchy that isn't borne of Egalitarianism. It it's basically a Fudal System that is constantly in flux. They have slaves, their entire existence is Conquest.
The Wilders or the Maulers?

silver flare
#

haha maulers prob

silent glade
#

bc apparently hypogeans can possess and take over a host??

silver flare
#

moral talked abt wilders earlier

silent glade
#

????? like excuse me

tight dove
#

do you think kane would possess lucius in that case

silver flare
#

i wouldnt be surprised if annih's creation and servants are made to spite duras creation

#

possessing and reviving their dead bodies

silent glade
#

nothing abt dead bodies tho

#

this was in the belinda/lucius union story

silver flare
#

some of the gb are dead before becoming gb

silent glade
#

they possess live hosts and can transform them into classic demons

silver flare
#

sorry i meant possessing ppl in general

#

LOL

#

but reviving dead bodies

silent glade
#

oh afaik for gb they just come back

rain nymph
#

I think the idea is that the Graveborn are still like, under Dura's domain, in a backhanded sort of way
Since they're one of the four main factions
And they're opposed to the Hypogeans just as much as everyone else

silver flare
#

i worded it wrong

silent glade
#

none were really dead for long except Silvestre were they?

silver flare
#

i mean. regardless

#

pedantics

silent glade
#

πŸ€” how are you able to summon specifically your child's soul back

#

if souls even exist in AFK

silver flare
#

not all gb are literally revived when theyre dead, but u know what i mean. its related to death or the avoidance of death through a darker magic

silent glade
#

also weird thing

silver flare
#

who knows if they are the same as their human selves, perhaps theyre a manifestation of their most bitter feelings and regrets and angers before they died. SHRUG gb are cool

silent glade
#

can anything become gb?

#

can hypogeans go and turn GB?

viral hollow
#

@rain nymph I meant maulers.. I did Wilders earlier..

silent glade
#

i think that was actually disproved

#

πŸ€” every time a story mentioned dead hypogeans they were ash?

#

i dont feel so good

viral hollow
#

@silent glade it could be that you're not actually summoning the " soul " back

rain nymph
#

I don't think Hypogeans can go GB
Since they're like
A completely different form of 'life'

silver flare
#

idk i dont think hypos and maulers can be GB. were any of the GB turned involuntarily btw? i dont recollect

#

wait not maulers

silent glade
#

well again, AFK might not even have the concept of souls

silver flare
#

LOL WHY DID I SAY THAT

silent glade
#

so

silver flare
#

I meant celestial

silent glade
#

um

#

silvina technically?

#

ferael technically?

#

isabella maybe?

#

all were turned GB without like, specifically wanting to

rain nymph
#

Celestial GB would be interesting

silent glade
#

personally, with the fact hypogeans apparently turn to ash when dead, they cant be revived as GB?

#

Silvina was just hoisted away and turned GB by the local graveborn hiding in the woods lol

#

Ferael had the enchantress episode

rain nymph
#

Also starting to wonder if Silvina and Isabella were also some sort of animal person before they died
Since Isabella has the tail and they both had the fern-ears

silent glade
#

skeletal horns

#

they're made of vertebrae

viral hollow
#

@silent glade could be that they just fill the void with energy which might explain the personality change. All that's left is the vesle and the mind. a mind that is consumed with rage or fear as it's dying. And thwn.. SOMETHING fills the void left by the fleeing 'soul' or 'spirit' woth a new energy source..

silver flare
#

thats metal

silent glade
#

wasnt only thoran the only one proved for tha

#

t

#

i never read ghezghul

silver flare
#

yee i was thinking thsir new existense is fueled by the manifestation of their rage regrets or bitterness

#

it would fit

silent glade
#

but again, souls arent proven but spirits are

rain nymph
#

they're made of vertebrae
Reminds me of Black Rock Shooter

silver flare
#

no GB is necessarily a sweet person hahaha

silent glade
#

well there's no evidence of some of them still being nice

silver flare
#

yeah

silent glade
#

most of their stories are about when they died / what lead up to it

silver flare
#

which is what i said

silent glade
#

thoran is proven but no one else

#

where are the liNSK

#

i need links

silver flare
#

i mean

#

we are working with the snapshots that stories give us

#

just throwing ideas out there

silent glade
#

i mean yeah but im

silver flare
#

u are free ti have ur own ideas

silent glade

yelling for the links

#

i want them links

silver flare

sorry i cant give any LOL

silent glade

devs wont give them

@silver flare kinda like writing a Bible.

silent glade

: ( tfw stories are left here and there

and they arent linked and there's no conclusive story

timeline machine broke

#

idc about the truth rlly i dig the manifestation of hate and regrets so thatll be my headcanon

#

@viral hollow LOL

viral hollow
#

I mean I have a headcanon where Farel

#

I have a head cannon where Fareal is killed by a "Here Manilig" type witch/hag/troll where they are cursed and all they need is marriage and ergo to swear servitude to a "good Christian/lightbearer man" to be freed.

hm. not me.

swedish?

viral hollow
#

I mean to me it makes sense can.. you imagine being cursed because you haven't married and now you are deformed and ostracized and concealed the flames of hell licking your feet as they wait for you to die.. the only way altavista beg people to marry you in exchange for a lifetime of servitude.. takes a smart one to be like "I'll just trick them into loving me and then kill them so I don't have to be a slave.. then ask forgiveness from the Christian good cause why not?"

this one just happened to exist in a world without Christianity and legit wanted someone to give a shit about them to Yandere levels..
she even got somebody who was on death's door anyway so it wasn't a FULL murder

Ooh, nice!

Mirael and Belinda, I'm guessing?

Hey I just read back a little but there is at least one instance of a GB doing something selfless; Niru.

(Insert lack of shock)

In Shemira's story, he tells her, in no uncertain terms, that he is there to save Silvestre. And then tells her they can be together. Could it be read with ulterior motive? Sure. But it's not explicitly so. I think the Graveborn are capable of a full range of emotion, BUT anger and hatred become disproportionately apparent.

#

https://afk-arena.fandom.com/wiki/Shemira

Her backstory is transcribed here.

AFK Arena Wiki

A soul forged in sorrow with nothing left to her in the world. This was Shemira in the final months of her life. Her husband had been a renowned healer, but her adoration and respect for him had...

fading swallow
#

Aaah

#

It's evening

#

Kids are in bed

#

Time to draw Niru and Shemira

#

I mean Grezuhl also after taking vengeance tried to raise Thordan

#

He didn't have to

queen spruce
#

That, too. He went out of his way for a sense of duty.

fading swallow
#

I think Selvina was turned first too?

#

And still wanted to protect her sister

#

Thoran turned cold and bitter but didn't seek revenge on his people, he was just plotting revenge on his brother.

#

Most Graveborn or ok

#

Are OK*

#

Vedan's an ass tho

#

But Vedan was an ass before he was GB

queen spruce
#

Protection at all costs seems to be another common theme among Graveborn, especially Grezhul, Shemira, Selvina

fading swallow
#

I'm not sure if it's a GB trait or because they aren't fully alive they, well, need a "purpose" to carry on

#

An obsession, healthy or not

queen spruce
#

Nods

#

A common theme, not necessarily a trait

#

Vedan is just a stuck-up ass who is terrified of death, which is strange for a GB. Do you think GBs who have died might scare him?

fading swallow
#

I don't think so
