Hey guys,
Please feel free to ignore this thread. This space is meant for me to collect all my designs and ramblings. Unfortunately, there's not place for private threads on this forum, or else I'd use it.
Basic Character Info:Hell-Cath, the Gravetender -
: She's a maniacal necromancer who is in love with horticulture. Her story is one of tragedy. As a young girl, her mother, father, and twin brother went missing. She roamed her plane, Cireama, trying to find them. Eventually, she arrived at a local park near her home that borders a church graveyard to see her family's corpses, overgrown with brambles / entangled in vines / degrading into the earth. This event caused her to go insane, discovering that she possessed the innate ability of necromancy. She mixed this graphic final image of her family's deaths with her craft - yielding a horde plant zombies. Unlike the stereotype for necromancers, she is very loving and cares deeply for plants, nature, and particularly her own creations.
Blestre, the High General -
: He is an honorable warrior who has fought in and led many battles on Cireama. In his old age, the High Governor, a close friend of his, has appointed him to serve as the High General. Blestre uses his knowledge of war and his knowledge of divinity to enlist the best warriors into the Blestrien Guard. He speaks to the Angels to rain favors down on Cireama. He combats the Devils from reigning terror on the citizens of Cireama. The red, white, and red-white aligned on Cireama are mighty warriors, sky-soaring angels, dangerous devils and goblins, and make-up the majority of the plane. He is a master diplomat, skilled tactician, and well-liked by all, except Cyn...
Cyn, the High Judge -
: There's not a High Government without some corruption at the top. Cyn serves as a less than neutral High Judge on Cireama. He passes decrees that benefits those in his favor. He imprisons those who he perceives as a threat by planting evidence and handpicking the High Jurors. He is a symbol of oppression and control. His appointment in the High Government outdates that of even the current High Governor and Cyn has a plan to make sure it stays that way. Overall, the blue, white, and blue-white aligned on Cireama value fairness, democracy, and overall well-being - and that's what they
think they're getting with Cyn.
Mirth, God Timberkind -
: He, the leader of the unaffiliated, is the largest giant on Cireama. Giants, though small in number on the plane, are very dumb and large. They follow the assigned God verbatim, never questioning his teachings / laws / etc. In the history of the Timberkinds, the unwritten law states that the largest giant gains the title of God and must give direction to the rest. Prior to Mirth, there was a slightly smaller giant named Firum who held this title. He was a vicious and tyrannical leader of the unaffiliated. He preached public torture, destruction of all things, and death to any giant who might outgrow him. Legend has it that Mirth, who was an average-sized giant at the time, ate a fruit from a undiscovered tree and grew nearly twice his size overnight. As such, Mirth preaches a different message than Firum - love nature. The giants and unaffiliated of Cireama take this message to heart, but all show it differently. Some uproot trees and carry them around in order to protect them. Others run around the countryside causing minor earthquakes and havoc just to breathe in the fresh air. Still creatures of destruction, they believe they are following Mirth's orders... and he does too. Firum still lives on Cireama in search to find the mythical tree that will allow him to reclaim his title, only stopping to destroy a few villages during his quest.
Octriv, the Eight-Armed -
: Ungendered, Trioctim is a Planeswalker who represents the dark depths of a yet-to-be-discovered plane. They are mostly humanoid, but they have eight arms with suction cups on their palms. Their head is enlarged much like a cephalopod. Little is known about their origin, but they strive for knowledge - excel at manipulating others - and are often secretive / elusive. On Cireama, Octriv manipulates other blue, black, and blue-black aligned creatures and spells to push forth some hidden agenda. It's unclear if they are good or evil.
Looking back at these characters, there are some changes that need to be made... Blestre is no longer red white. He is monowhite with a red color identity. He was raised as a barbarian in the ungoverned Wilds. During his formative years, he was enlisted by the Purecrestrian army. After climbing his way to the top, he gained recognition for his strength and tactical skills. Now, he serves as the High General - he helps bridge the gap between the inhabitants of the Wilds and the city of Purecrest, enlisting other hopefuls into the army and preventing rebellions. Likewise, Octriv was envisioned as monoblue. I've also gone back and forth about removing white and giving Cyn a black color identity, but that's not confirmed yet.
There are additional characters of interest as well.
The world itself has changed a lot too. More on that in the next post:
