I don't want to go too far with lore and species development unless people want it, though I would like to base some stuff off of Norse mythology. :']

GORGEOUS

Oh and Blood, if this doesn't fit your fancy, I can always make you another one. x)

ooooo awesome lightning draggo!! :0

Holy cow, :'v i need to learn how to design dragons like this.

This bab's design is flippin awesome.
.

So beautiful

Aaahhhh I love him! Eeee!
Thank you so much!

Beautiful design ;u;

Oooh, so they're god-like dragons in a viking-esque age? *w* That's awesome! I'll go add the tag to my paintings of Asterion too

This looks awesome!

Re:I don't remember ether, but probably not water seen I got a water from you already x'D
I'm trying to remember what elements you said. But I like color flames or anything shiny or reflective

Re: Nebula sounds like it could be cool but so does the mirror to

Re: Hmmm both sound really cool, mirror could do all kinds of fun Reflections in nuances as for Nebula just cool and sparkly. Both have potential to be really fun, I would be happy with ether one, but Nebula how about Blue and Orange/red color

Re: I'm fine with Asterion being in the same era or world X3 Ahh, normally I don't like big, bulky dragons, but I love these guys, one look at them just screams "power!"

I think it's kind of funny, I didn't include it in my last painting of him, but one of the ideas I had for Asterion was that he preys upon a certain tropical island once a year, completely freezing it over, and its inhabitants had come to fear him as a god of death, but I didn't add it in because I wasn't sure how to incorporate that with how he travels the world, looking for his sister. XP

Though Asterion would still probably earn a reputation as a god of death even if he's travelling... X'D

Dang, the dragon looks freaking awesome!

Ooooooh, I love these guys! They're super cool, and I'd love to hear some more lore about them! *o*

Late Re: I'm glad they're what you wanted them to be X3 And personally, I think I'd like to see you put more detail into them, I'm especially curious about how you could incorporate Norse mythology into them ewe

That's true, I do have another angry ice dragon I've forgotten about, #Fyurmadurice X'D

Late Re: I'm a bit rusty on it myself X'D I wouldn't mind helping out though, I think there's plenty of tidbits you'll be able to use as inspiration for the Valkiers, like Yggdrasil, the great tree that holds the universe on its branches and roots, maybe you could tie that in with the nature variants somehow? ... If that's a variant you're considering, I forgot what all elements you had thought of X'D

I'm really looking forward to seeing what all you come up with though, it's not everyday you see dragons with Norse mythology tied into them X3

Re: I think that'd definitely make them more unique, especially since the Valkiers are "god-like" :3

No problem, I'm more than happy to help! I only know of Norse mythology after reading the book Magn

Noooo what happened to my comment? D:

*after reading the books Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard and its sequel, but now I'm really digging into it, there's some pretty interesting things in Norse mythology XP Just ask me anytime for ideas, I'll be more than happy to share what I've read ^v^

Re: Really? On my 3DS, it cuts off at Magn X'D

No problem Fade! I'm so excited to see what you do with these dragons! >w<

Re: YESSSS *0*

Re: *cries* i'll try my bestest. :'v and try to avoid losing confidence in myself in the process.

oh you saint. the picture is really awesome. I love the details

Re. Thank you very much I am very pleased that my pictures you too

Oh for Coldfire clothes designs what did you have in mind? Fancy, casual, modern, ext...?

Also is this for one arm cold or both arms?

Re: xD well thats the first time i've ever heard advice like that, i outta try it tho. just doing it and trying things, seeing what comes of it. *Insert just do it meme here*

Re: alright I'll see what I can do

Re: I can do a variety of styles if he also has a Sci-Fi version, I can even try steampunk and things like that just for fun.

When I do clothing designs however I try to keep it to the character's personality or their true form just as a heads up

Re: Aww it's great to hear that you like the picture ❤️
That really means a lot to me, thank you, dear FadingGlory x3

Oh they sound awesome, anything viking based is sure to be freaking amazing! And this one's design is fantastic!!

Re: Haha thank you! Tbh I definitely forgot how the layers worked on here for a moment XD

Master in dragons!

Do what you please FadingGlory. Either way, they're always nice! ^^

looks really cool

I was wondering if you'd like to MYO Zeharu? I know you only have Nekana and if you wanted another, I'd be willing to let you design your own, choose your variant, etc... Let me know and I'll answer any questions you might have :P

Oh my goodness yes please!! I've been wanting another one for a while and have actually been wanting to make her son, so that is perfect! Thank you!
Her son is half human, so what kind of effects would that have on his appearance?

You can make her son and another personalized (full or half breed) one if you want.

He wouldn't be able to shift to a Zeharu form, but he'd probably be taller than the average human and have black sclera (or mixed like Jeremiah's) and dragon eyes (capable of slitting like a cats).

He could have scales on his body and visible horns on his head. He'd also have her streamers and ability to steal/store souls. But I'm not too picky, design him to how you envision him to look

Ahh thank you so much!!
Ahhh cool! Thanks! Well I could make a WIP then toss it by you to make sure it's alright before I finish.

If it's alright, I'd also like to make another Zeharu, maybe one with a variant that hasn't been drawn much... Any suggestions?

Oooh wait half breeds are allowed, right? How about a storm/earth or storm/royal?

Alrighty sounds good to me~

Ones that aren't drawn much/used much, would be:

-Poison
-Air
-Darkness (The only ones are Zakaryah and Mathias, both my own characters. But they're typically dark Zeharu with simple designs)
-Deep Sea
-Fire (Surprisingly, isn't drawn or used often at all)
-Energy

I have yet to design Sound, Space and Ghost variants x'D

Ooooh poison or fire would be cool too...

And those last three sound epic. ;u; This decision is suddenly very hard

Half breeds are allowed.

A storm/royal cross wouldn't happen, due to the story of the royals. If it did, it would just be a newborn.

A storm/Earth could be plausible, Earth variants (minus 10 eggs) were slaughtered by Benjamin. But you could say yours is older (1,000+) and has been in hiding for a while.

Take all the time you need and feel free to make any combination you want (the egg post has a lot of info that might help)
ask any questions if you need to

Ahh gotcha! That's fine!
That would work for me, if it's cool with you of course.
Okay! I'll be thinking on ehat I want, and I'll likely ask you plenty questions. XD Thanks again Blood!

Oh is energy and storm the same thing?

Also Earth variants favor 3 types of gems/rocks/etc once they start eating solids.

Mae - Gold, Rubies, Amethyst
Jasper - Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds
Benjamin - Rubies, Gold and a unique gem only on Zyzaniah (I have yet to name xD)

Ben also ate obsidian to strengthen his bite and grow it on his body. Earth variants typically hate the taste, but he's not ordinary xD

No they're not

Energy variants draw life energy from things around them, even nature. They draw it best by biting or scratching opponents. They're usually smaller and thinner than Aamelia, but always have 4 arms.

Storm can do storm stuff (lighting, thunder, rainstorms, etc..) and only have two arms xD

Soryn, Riko, Aamelia and Idra are the only storm variants so far. But they can have brighter hair (aside from red)

Typically blues or yellows

Oooh neat so I'd be picking a couple gems for them.

Oh yeah, Energy is cool! Hbhbhb I'll think on it xD

Take all the time you need~

Eyy so I'm thinking on an earth/storm variant. My idea is gems or crystals along the body that can be electrically charged. Is that possible with the species?

Nut

Oh and for Nekana's son, will he have the orbs in his skin?

Yes, that sounds cool! :D

If you want, I'm not picky, whatever looks most cool to you

Ahh sweet! What colors are you ok with being on either of those elements?/Do variants have specific color ranges?

Earth variants usually have dark bodies to accentuate their gems and lighter swirled patterns on their bodies, those swirls transfer to their human form too (As you'll see with Ben the most)

Storm variants don't come in any shade of green, not even their eyes. Any other color is viable. They also have the ability to darken their hide and mane to better hide in storms.

Otherwise they'd stick out in a storm (some don't care), like Riko. He has a pure white hide, black belly plating and red mane. He doesn't care if others spy him.

Storm and Earth variants are naturally strong, both considered the strongest Zeharu. Earth variants a little more so, since they're immune to lightning strikes.

Lightning attacks for the storm variant can be white, gold/yellow, red, black, blue and purple.

Even as a mixed breed, a storm/earth variant's mouth would still be able to split into four sections, lined with teeth.

I rambled a bit, I can more if you want xD

Ahh sweet, that's very helpful! Thank you!
So my dude would probably be pretty strong, hmm

I'll probably ask you to ramble more once I start drawing him. XD

Lol alrighty

This one~

Helluuuuurrrr

wassup?

I'm sweaty! It's HOT!

Helloooo, s'up with you?

I was thinking we could talk SKeys if ya in the mood

Oh geez XD Let's trade weather - it hasn't been too hot here. Though I haven't been out of the house in a few days...

I'm good! Been doing a lot of paper art recently, mainly to improve on my humans. How've you been?

Yeah that's fine with me! I take it this cocnerns Eira and Aaliyah?

Well we get winter like 7 months of the year, I guess I'll enjoy it while it lasts xP

Ah yeah, I should do that too, I could use human practice
-
Yeah and some more

I just wanted to know exactly what your plans are and if I'm using Aaliyah in a way that's benefiting Eira's development.

You don't have to tell me everything, but Aaliyah is very much a side character, who'll only be used in this chapter of the story (The Silver Spears) and very, very rarely at that. So if you want to guide me on what you want to happen/have planned, I'm willing to work it out with you, so what you have planned can work the way you want it to (I sound like I'm repeating myself xD)

I also had another idea, for a later time, concerning Alexandrea and Eira.

Lol X'D

Honestly, we can never get enough practice. TuT

Yes, you're actually doing perfectly! All I really wanted to do was get Eira to figure out her powers so she can do more than blast ice. Basically, she just needs more finesse. X'D I'd also like to reshow the risks of using her magic, since the consuming darknes was supposed to be a huge point in her character plot. All you'd need to do is keep pushing Eira until she overdoes herself.

Ooh sound interesting! Wil lit be a surprise?

Ah alright, I can have Aaliyah keep applying more and more pressure to Eira.

It's not huge or maybe it is? I don't know

I was just thinking, one of the things that can never be hidden for long, is the truth.

Sooo, it could be interesting if Alexandrea finds out Eira was kissed by Malice before, maybe Dreamcatcher overhears it too? (But we won't tell Shadow that, we'll just have to set it up if you're game?)

Or if you want to do something less dramatic and resulting in Catch likely popping his top. We could plan something for the future, maybe in a future temple or something?

Do you have plans on Eira losing herself to the corruption?(You don't have to spoil anything)

In the end I was just thinking we could just cause some conflict/friction.

If you have any ideas or thoughts, feel free to add or throw them out.

Thank you! That'll work!

It really doesn't seem that way, which is why I wante dto put focus on it. X'D The darkness is eating her alive but is stopped only by her ice magic. Highlighting that will give her greater need to find a cure for her darkness. I want that mainly because I want to fix Eira already. x'D

Hoo boy, trust Blood to spark some drama. XDD I think that'd be fine, so long as we can organize it well enough. Do you have a plan on how it would be revealed?

I once wondered if she would lose herself, but I don't know how to undo it so I don't plan on it. XD

Yeah undoing corruption in characters is tricky, that's why I don't do it. My characters have dark sides, like Hiiro, but that's due to his species history.

I think it would be great if Eira was fixed/cured, but would that mean an updated ref for her? Would she have cute lion ears? x'D

Yeah baby, we need to make it a lil more interesting.

I'm not quite sure how to go about it, we could go a typical women route and have them get into a huge screaming/yelling match? It's the only idea that comes to mind... flaring tempers.

If you have a better idea, shoot xP

Yep, updated ref. She's needed one for the longest time. X'D Nah, she'd have feather tuft things, like in her 16-year-old drawing. Lion ears are cute but a little overkill...

I like it like that. eue

Haha, that should work just fine. Alex would probably mention her love for Malice again, Eira would give her the lecture again, and they'd get into a yelling match till Eira spills. Poor girls haven't been getting along too perfectly.

And we could inconspicuously suggest Shadow send Catch to then, just as she admits it

Ah alright~
I can't wait to see her uncorrupted, it'll be awesome!

Yeah sounds like a plan! One that'll make things interesting and tense for sure. I like it.

Yes, that sounds good

Thank you!

Hehehe good plan fam~

Thanks for discussing this with me! I'm glad to be part of Skeys again with you all!

I'm happy to have you back! It hasn't been the same without Eira and you.

Take care~ We can talk again if you need to or if you got any ideas

Yeah! Thanks again!

Okay, this isn't a question, but I have a very evil idea that will make things more interesting for Alex. Soooo we need to have Eira and Alex talk soon.... It could be the same conversation they have where Alex learns Mal kisses Eira once,m or another time.

I'm all game for the evil ewe

Yeah, alright! When do you think is a good time?

Like right now or when the Mal thing is done? I'm confused xD

Perfect eue

Hmm, well Eira and Catch are probably gonna have a one-on-one after this little scene, but if Catch leaves after that then Eira should be free.

Actually it'd work alright if they happened in the same conversation

Hmm well, when the time is right, you go for it. Initiate the conversation that'll make Catch pop a gasket xD
Or i could have Alex start it, but I'm terrible with timing things/events.

After the Mal thing is done. Catch is probably going to have a talk with Eira alone, possibly in the palace. Her and Alex can have their talk afterwards.

Alright, sounds good

Haha okay X'D I can probably figure it out, and all I'd need is for Alex to be available-ish once the Eira-Catch talk is over

Yup, she'll be available, I'll make sure sheis

Tbh that probably won't be for another session or so since we all know how long each convo can last

Okay! Can't wait eue

yeah exactly xD

It's up to you if you want Eira cured or not, I could have something go wrong. I don't want to ruin any plans you may have.

I alread have plans on how it'll go wrongs. xD This'll actually be a good way to reveal this little thing

Alrighty, I'll get it started

Thanks!

Soon, once Shadow responds

Hey. I was wanting to ask if we could remove the whole scene that happened with Alex trying to heal Eira. Shadow addressed me and told me it had disturbed her and others, and I regret horribly what I did. It was never in my original plans for that to happen to Eira, and I should've just had her say no to Alex's offer. If it's alright with you, I'd like to undo that scene and go back to some earlier point, or just end the scene while they were still eating.

Yeah we can end it after they eat, just say they went their own ways and to bed or something

Alrigh, thank you so much. I hope how the scene turned out didn't upset you too much. If it did, I'd like to apologize more sincerely for my reckless decision.

mmmaelstrom

I was wondering if you want #BHRyo?

But don't feel like you have to take him, you can make Cacophany an only child or whatever works for you.

I don't want you to feel pressured into it or anything. It's 100% your decision.

I could also make you your own personal Niironox, with colors and an element you prefer

I'd love to take him!! I think having him would make for some interesting drawings between the two of them. Thank you for the offer! Am I free to make minor changes on his pereonality/antics? I'm not too familiar with his original character.

Except now you're tempting me with another Niironox X'D I definitely like the offer, but I'm hesitant to accept it if three is too many for me to take care of.

Of course! He's all yours to make over, personality and everything. You can even add more markings to him/modify his patterns in a cool way. You can even alter his rank if you want to, you know what the different horns look like.

Haha it's up to you, I don't mind if you don't draw your Niironox or not. You could even just use it for stories or rps, or whatever you see fit :P

Awesome, thank you! I'll do my best to take care of them!

I still want to be able to draw them, especially with Niironox Month coming up, so I'll at least be drawing the twins. For now, I'll stick with them, but I'd love another one later on of you're still up for making it. x)

Yup, just let me know when/if you want another one~

Alrighty! Thanks so much! x)
