Uh huh

We know u luv Chen
I also get jealous easily
Fundamental flaw in my character
I guess no, envious would be the proper term
Jealousy is fear of losing what you already have.
Envy is wanting something you don’t/can’t have that someone else has

good morning fellas gonna try posting it again
Inari
The Fox Maiden
Ult: Nine Points of Retribution
Inari releases pent up energy, dealing 100% damage plus x% of damage taken the past 3 seconds in the Vulpine Sanctuary to enemies around her. The Kitsune then possesses her.
Lvl 2: Additional damage increased to x% of damage taken.
Lvl 3: Skill accounts for the past 5 seconds.
Skill 2: Nine Stars of Divinity
When possessed by the Kitsune, Inari randomly fires nine divine orbs at the enemy, each dealing x% of her max HP in damage to a single target. Afterwards, the Kitsune will separate from Inari and provide Vulpine Sanctuary once more.
Lvl 2: Every 3rd orb charms the struck enemy for 3 seconds. x% of the damage a charmed enemy does is converted into health.
Lvl 3: Damage from orbs increases to x% of max HP.
Lvl 4: Charm duration increases to 4 seconds. x% of damage dealt by charmed enemies is converted into health.```Skill 3: Vulpine Sanctuary
The Kitsune protects Inari with a heavenly shield. The shield decreases damage taken by x%, and during this state Inari can neither be affected by status conditions nor attack. Furthermore, the shield taunts all targetted attacks. Recovers an additional 10 energy per enemy attack.
Lvl 2: If Inari were to be fatally injured during this state, the Kitsune Companion will leave the ally and return to her to recover 50% of her max HP over 5 seconds.
Lvl 3: Recovers an additional 15 energy per enemy attack.
Skill 4: Kitsune Companion
While Inari is in the Vulpine Sanctuary, a spirit companion will aid the ally with the highest attack to increase attack speed and provide a shield equal to x% of Inari's max HP. Every 4 seconds it blesses its host with 20 energy.
Lvl 2: Shield increases to x% of max HP.
Lvl 3: Energy increased to 30.```shes too quirky to be meta if she actually existed prob but i just wanted to try to make something kinda outside of the box

Skillwise it's more INT but some work with AA/stacks so AGI makes more sense

We already have a thicc celestial female so why not a male
I think I’ll do that but I may do something else for the contest

ok i finished my story for my oc
Inari soon grew from what others considered a nondescript girl to a woman with a subdued beauty. Casual interactions with the village men began to overlay a far more sinister intent glaring from their eyes. Unable to understand her unrest, Inari found herself waking in the dead of the night to travel to her shrine to seek emotional guidance from the forest that had always protected her. However, as she made her way up the weathered stone steps, a rough hand seized her arm. With a startled intake of breath, Inari jerked her head around and noticed it was the village magister’s son, a brutish boy who had been particularly incessant in pursuing her. She had never felt such poignant fear in her life, as sheltered as she had always been in the embrace of the foliage around her. The pungent stink of the predatory man’s breath froze her core, and she thought that she was surely doomed.```Inari gazed down at her pale hands, made even brighter by the bluish hue of a godly light emanating around them. The glow then bled away from her skin and coalesced into the form of a breath-taking nine-tailed fox. Its white fur shone and rippled from opacity to transparency, and the spirit’s wise ruby eyes exposed that it was far more than a mere forest fox. With a layered voice, the fox sang in Inari’s mind, “Like how you have guarded and revered us, so will we protect you for all eternity.” Once more, the spirit dispersed into a bright celestial aura all around Inari, filling her with a deep warmth, and then faded into obscurity. Nevertheless, the warmth remained.
Inari pondered for a moment. She knew that she could no longer stay here, where she would undoubtedly be persecuted for what happened to the man. She must see what aid this gift that the forest and the Light had bestowed could offer against the ever encroaching forces of evil that she heard rumors of, whispered fervently by the other villagers. Knowing that the spirit will guide her to the core of Dura’s dominion, Esperia, she did not balk at the ripples of light that emanated under her steps upward into the air, signaling an invisible staircase into the heavens. ```Lol yeah that's the intention . I want lb meta
@raven kraken hori nani yours is a short story

You haven't met him yet :D
Zahhak, the Keeper of Time (AGI, Hypogean)
Born on the Square of Times of the attempts of those who dared to take on time and tried to overcome it, Zahhak has always been in search of those who still do not bow down. He is a demon, born of time itself with only one goal: the annihilation of those who dare to disturb the flow of time. His anger is boundless and he does not rest until every creature has been destroyed that dares to shake the linear movement of time or even tries to change it altogether.
His current destination is the last descendant of the Covendust family, who created a place where time is meaningless. Driven by the restoration of the order of time, Zahhak is restlessly searching for the young magician to hold him accountable and subject him to the flow of time. Because nobody can escape her. Nobody.
"Emoc Sah Emit Ruoy" - Zahhak
Alternated Timeflow (Ultimate)
Temporarily alters an ally's destiny for 5 seconds, delaying any healing or damage taken until Alternated Timeflow ends. Any healing that is delayed by Alternated Timeflow is doubled. Removes most negative status effects when it ends.
Lvl 2 (81): Alternated Timeflow now lasts 7 seconds.
Lvl 3 (161): Damage taken in that time period is reduced to 75%.
Crippling
With every autoattack Zahhak does, he reduces the targets Defense Rating by 2%, up to 20%.
Lvl 2 (21): Defense Rating is reduced by 4%, up to 40%.
Lvl 3 (101): Defense Rating is reduced by 6%, up to 60%.
Lvl 4 (181): Defense Rating is reduced by 8%, up to 80%.
Petrify
Stopping the flow of lifetime of his target, Zahhak roots his target for 4 seconds from the fight by turning them into stone.
Lvl 2 (121): Petrify now drains 25% of current HP over that time period.
Lvl 3 (201): Petrify now lasts 6 seconds.
Mark of Time
Zahhak targets an enemy hero, cursing his lifetime by placing a mark on him. The mark is charged by every allied autoattack. Each normal attack places a stack on the mark, up to a total of 50 stacks. After 10 seconds or once the stack limit has been reached, the target is dealt 5% damage per stack (up to 250% damage).
Lvl 2 (141): Once the mark is triggered, it leaves behind an area, slowing nearby enemies and giving Haste to allies for 3 seconds.
Lvl 3 (221): Limit is increased to 350% and stacks add 7% damage to the mark.
tawdry vigil
So dejavu crippling skill?

Also, i bet that time mage is a doctor with a floating cape

Hypogeans are only meant for the destruction of anything that existed, right?
Unless you introduce something where Annih still values the elementof time

But why would a hypogean care about protecting time?
pure meadow
Because it's the purpose he was born for/from
tawdry vigil
But the precedence when the delay ends, heal first before damage?
lyric pumice
So he isn't in the care of Annih?
tawdry vigil
They gonn pop in seconds
tawdry vigil
Ye
tawdry vigil
Huh
pure meadow
More heal = he gets double heal
lyric pumice
it's actually all at once.
pure meadow
That, of which he received more
lyric pumice
a ciomputed thing
tawdry vigil
lyric pumice
whichever received more is the one calculated
pure meadow
it's a coin toss; he drops dead or is back full life
pure meadow
No, he doesn't have heal
He is utility, so for an AGI he would probably not have high base dmg 🤔
lyric pumice
so that means he fits in a composition of certain heroes
pure meadow
You could play him in different ways I guess
You could go full heal
Keeping everyone alive
Or you can go full DPS with his last ability
lyric pumice
i like the risk it gives
pure meadow
Well, how are you going to get people that are not in the right timeline if you can't go there yourself? 🤔

Is it dispellable?

@tawdry vigil read the skill >:c
oh wait

I want it to default to fire

or it can be a blank element
where herattacks are like 100% damage only
without any effect

She dont look like fiery, i think plantgirls default would be wood

that could be as well
lemme think.
she shouldn;t even have the power of the wood guardian to begin with

@daring ibex Ezizh was cultivated from a tree, similar to Tasi. If anything, Ezizh is the darker variant of Tasi but not Athalia. They have opposite but fitting characteristics as they are the games light and dark forces. They both do have armor, but its just armor.

And also how Tasi and Ezizh's abilities are like complements: Ezizh induces nightmares and fear while Tasi calms and brings peaceful dreams.

But then is this character all about buffs? Some form of attack could be nice
Ultimate Devotion level 3 invunerability for 4 is a bit too long considering you can do it 4 times, one for every other hero. I'd just make it a bigger heal tbh
Or instead of healing 15% it makes them stay at 1 hp and be immune for the 4 seconds
And also theres no description for Hallowed Sanctuary
rough bolt
Because i haven't thought what it does yet, how about lorewise?
sinful crow
I really am not a lore guy, I'm more of a game balance guy
rough bolt
What would you suggest me to change blessed rain?
sinful crow
Also, he is a full-on support character but he only buffs and prevents death, and granted, the death prevention is very very very strong but it is kinda strange for him to not have healing
Level 2 makes him cast it again during the fight and it can be a big aoe heal too
Or sepparate it into different level
can even keep the shield, even tho Lucius is kind of like the shield-guy already
Oooooooooh
I have a cool idea for hallowed sanctuary
Idk if it fits but
what about switching hp % of your lowest health % hero with the enemies highest health % hero
But I'm just brainstorming
rough bolt
So level 2 cast the same rain every 20 seconds and heals them for 10 seconds? shields will be removed and placed as random buff save for invincibility
Actually really neat Ult, will add that real quick
elfin river
Is Isabella truly a graveborn? It doesn’t seem like she died anywhere
light aurora
well, if i have to give my opinion, id say she is a vampire sort of ? being vedan's disciple and all... >_>
sinful crow
@rough bolt yeah, and nerf the invulnerability or the heal on the prevent death
@elfin river Arcanist Union. They aren't technically dead per say
rough bolt
Ult devotion got reworked.
elfin river
Silvina is most definitely dead, and Vedan is a little odd, almost a vampire but maybe not actually dead
rough bolt
Loses HP to heal his allies when thier health falls below 40%, and damage is increased based on how much health his allies has regained, up to 50% max.
sinful crow
That sounds nice
Also, 20 seconds wait for a 10 second godlike window is kinda odd for me, I think he could drop the healing rain every 10-15 seconds for 5-7 seconds
dark heath
vedan has traits of a vampire (aka he is a vampire lol) and immortal
sinful crow
So his purpose would really be to buff his team's damage and energy output while mantaining everyone alive until the blessed rain drops in. He can take someone off death's door with his ult and devotion so he can achieve that nicely, but he is very vulnerable to being killed himself as well
Sounds nice to me

abanoub's backstory
-'-'-'-'-
There are great leaders and grievous tyrants in the history of esperia but none so than abanoub. the first and wealthiest civilization. ruling with a fist of gold. he lead his people into greatness and prosperity and defended them from the forces of outsiders yet he is as unmerciful to is own. brings rewards to those who are faithful to him and brings death to those who are not.
but all of that came short when he fell ill to a mysterious disease that made him suffer until to the last years of his life. but before he died. he asked a final request, for his beloved one to be his guardian to protect him until her passing
entombed in a pyramid of gold with his guardian with him, enough food to last for decades and half of his riches with him and the other half left to his people to continue to prosper with.
the lost of a great leadership lead to peoples' demise. without him. his city was repeatedly sieged and survived with devastating effects until most of its citizens died of starvation or killed in defense of the city.
but what fully destroyed the city is an invasion so large that the city couldnt defend itself anymore from the lack of rations, weaponry and manpower. it finally fell to its knees and what remained citizens left the once what a great city.
without anymore reason to protect the fallen pharaoh and diminishing food. his once faithful guardian left his side.
all forgotten he slept through decades of lonliness and darkness until the invasion of the hypogeans woke him from his eternal sleep.
when he awoke. he was furious about his guardian leaving him and turned his city into ruins. he stormed out of his tomb with power of magic for his deteriorating body cannot inflict the damage what it once had when he was alive

@golden kettle tank feels inappropriate for the setting?
golden kettle
since it's fantasy themed

makes sense

Gimme magic tanks
Just in general

sits weird with me but whatever floats ur boat

I feel if like
There was more precedent wrt the limits of technology in the lore
It could make sense or just be weird
But as it stands it's kinda vague
Which
Idk if i love that or am annoyed by it
Maybe a bit of both
lyric pumice
They should state it either way
gentle knot
I would stay away from stuff like tanks but it's a bold move regardless
lyric pumice
Like a back story
normal dove
@dark heath @golden kettle aidan is a dwarf
zenith pond
I like the idea of just. horse crawn carridges, like the rusty cart, personally
drawn*
That's what always made me think things like self-propelled vehicles were outta the question
normal dove
aidan's tank is more of a steampunk design
zenith pond
Like I said it's just weird to me, it's whatever floats ur boat
dark heath
i mean, we still got horse drawn carriages today
doesnt mean the technology we got now doesnt exist
but just
do whtever lol
float ur boat as u said
zenith pond
idk to me, and again this is just my view on it, I'm not trying to argue just stating where I'm coming from, the story in the rusty cart thing implies that carts seem to be widely used. If cars did exist I imagine they're more like. early early cars and only owned by the rich... but Vedan has a carriage iirc
and he takes pride in his money
It could be he just wasn't using it that night tho
there's lots of ways to look at it
gentle knot
Ooo that's a good point!
zenith pond
I read and remember WAY too much of the lore
alpine barn
There's that leak of the dwarf with the mobile turret
zenith pond
whomst
zenith pond
I haven't seen that but maybe like. The dwarves have just invented those first. And haven't shared the tech with humans. That would explain Vedan not having one
I could get behind that
alpine barn
I'm actually weirded out by Raine having apparently six-shooters
the only other gunslinger was the dwarf
who has a musket
zenith pond
honestly Raine's guns are just kinda weird in general but yeah
alpine barn
they're flared at the end, meaning it's likely a blunderbuss pistol, or dragon
They work kinda like an early shotgun and were loaded with many small lead balls
gentle knot
Maybe she stole them off a dwarf
alpine barn
that's consistent with her lore describing her battles as being completely torn to pieces with lead
lyric pumice
I think they're still valid. Raine must been rewarded for theirbefforts with it or something

@alpine barn I wonder if you have an OC as well to enter for the afk arena oc creation contest

Would be hard to make a union out of him

Shasir literally reminded me of Lord of The Rings
Definitely Smaug
APparently so, because we have dwarves in Esperia

Lmao Shasir is a pascifist
Well kinda
He avoids fighting as best he can but yea he's a bit of a hoarder
Zakra and Polyea are weird on purpose
Idk if i put it in their lore but Polyea's whole role in the Hypogean army is tempting others into demonic possession

It would be cool, is niru the necromancer that gave fawkes the parasite

The demons are hypogean, necromancers don't give people demons
Necromancers just raise the dead

In their backstory it said it was a necromancer

I don't think that was Niru cuz i don't think the timeline adds up maybe? Niru doesn't look that much older than Fawkes
And there are a lot of unnamed necromancers in folks' lore

Ahhh ok
Fawkes hunts people that have already died so does that include Nuri and his family
Niru

I think that Fawkes will hunt whoever has a bounty on em
