Unicorn Overlord is fantastic. I have not been able to put this game down. It's simply peak. This is literally what I needed to scratch that rpg itch. I'm not even halfway done with this game, and it's already a strong contender for my game of the year.

Noble Dress in The Tri-Kingdom
Vestur’s three kingships were distinct cultures before the Founding Wars.
They retain many of their cultural features. It’s easy to tell which Kingdom a lord, lady, or viscount is from at a glance.
Middle Kingdom
The Middle Kingdom seeks to emulate gentility and grace of the unicorn (one of the crest animals of their royal family). “Noble” colors like pastels are common, and gold is essentially a requirement. Vestur values battle culturally, but years of safety and excess means military influence has been essentially sanded off of attire, save like... ornamental epaulets.
Modesty is a must - having any skin showing below the neck is VULGAR and CRASS. Ideally your scarf or cravat should cover that, too.
Tasteful gold jewelry is appreciated. Hair is kept long - usually dreads or braids.
Wear for men means stockings and highly embroidered frock coats. Heel-length dresses for women and highly ornamental sleeves! Other accessories like a capelet or jacket are also encouraged.
Northern Kingdom
There is a limit to how impractical dress can be in the North, and so this makes Northern nobility look quite out of place compared to the high fashion of the Middle and South.
Few dyes in the unforgiving and icy Wasteland means ornamentation is strictly through feathers or embroidery. If you can manage color, it’s saved for an especially flashy accessory - like a cape or hat. Jewelry is minimal since it is cold against the skin. Hair is kept short, usually - though women may wear it longer if they like a Middle Kingdom flair.
Formerly a nomadic culture right up until annexation, dress is much less gender-segregated because Northerners didn’t historically have different clothing for men and women. However, Middle Kingdom influence means difference has been injected in. Women wear pant-skirts as a compromise... though if nobody from another Kingdom is looking, they’ll just wear a pair of breeches.
There are less nobles from the North over all simply because there is less workable land to lord over and maintain, so many end up in the King’s Army. This has lent a heavy military styling to their dress.
Cultural holdovers from their nomadic roots include: spurred riding boots, the ornamental feathers, largely black color scheme, and the use of hats. However, anything resembling their heritage is seen as gauche by the middle kingdom... so you see less fur and wide-brimmed hats than their commoner counterparts.
Southern Kingdom
The Southern Kingdom is rather unique, as in addition to having a defined territory, it maintains many other trading enclaves throughout Vestur’s peninsula. (Dress would look very different for a Southern enclave within the Northern Kingdom for example, but I won’t get too in the weeds there.)
The Southern Kingdom is a culture deeply invested in trade and mercantilism, and so are essentially teeming with exotic textiles, dyes, precious metals and rocks... you name it.
As a result they have the most elaborate dress. Capes, sashes, loose-hanging and billowing cloth of all colors is the pinnacle of beauty.  The more colors, the better - you had just best make sure they are coordinated.
Ideally too, you should wear enough jewelry to jingle when you walk. Especially if made of gold or especially rare gemstones.
The coastal South has held onto more of their unique dress sense than any of their enclave territories, or the North. They don't feel as much need to pander to the Middle Kingdom sensibilities because they were already a thriving country before teaming up with the Middle Kingdom. Joining with the Middle Kingdom was seen as a union of equals by the South, rather than a conquering by a superior political power like what happened with the North.
The hot weather of their territory means they show much more skin than the other kingdoms... in fact, the advent of breeches and shifts is relatively new, and only because the Middle Kingdom was so scandalized by their pantslessness and bare chests.
(A shout out to @lsdoiphin since Forever Gold’s worldbuilding is a collaboration between her and I!)

Development Update - February 2024
Tumblr media
Hi folks, Miyazaki checking in with our development update for the month of February 2024.
It was a tough month for the team: one of us moved, one of us had surgery, and three of us were laid out sick for a while. Everyone's stable and on the mend, though, and with some recovery under our belts we're looking forward to picking up the pace in March!
In spite of everything we've still got some new content to cover. Let's hop in!
Under the cut:
Mythauran Astrological Calendar
Winter Quarter 2024 Art Reveal
Rogue starter Class Companion
Tumblr media
Astrological Calendar
Tumblr media
The Mythauran calendar is divided into twelve months of roughly equal length. The earliest Beast species--Dragons, Unicorns, and Griffins--have each left their cultural markers on the Mythauran calendar.
Dragons, being the first species to develop a written language (and one that's rather flowery and verbose), were the first to give names to each of the months of the year. These names were meant to conjure images, feelings, and sensations associated with the different times of the year.
Unicorn culture, being nomadic for a significant part of the year as they chase the path of storms on the Southern Plains, used the position of constellations in the sky to guide their paths. These were named after significant cultural figures both fictional and real, who featured prominently in their rich verbal storytelling tradition.
Griffins were the first to master the craft of creating palm stones, which have been used for centuries to manipulate a Beast's secondary Element prior to birth. The Element associated with each stone came from Griffin astronomers, who picked a stone that best symbolized the constellation that spent the most time over their capital city for the month.
Tumblr media
March
Tumblr media
The month of March is referred to as Chasm's Roar in Dragon culture, representing the peals of thunder ringing through the canyons in the Spine of Ere. This month is also associated with the constellation of the Tempest and the labradorite stone.
Mythauran astrologers say those born under the sign of the Tempest are strong-willed, decisive individuals who believe strongly in their own moral code. Their well-defined sense of self makes them capable leaders, whose confidence inspires those who look to them for guidance.
At their best, Tempests are inspiring, self-assured, and magnanimous. At their worst, they can be belligerent, intolerant of others' beliefs, and arrogant.
Tumblr media
Winter 2024 Rewards Reveal

We'll be back in a near update with more information on our final starter Class; with that comes voting for its Companion and starter Gear as well. Keep your eyes peeled!
Tumblr media
Mythaura v0.x
While there are no new feature releases this month, Koa and Sark have been hard at work on the player menu, specifically the party screen and the way a player's Beasts are housed. There's also been a lot of work put toward a prototype of the interactive world map--and that's for both the world overall and the starter town of Talon's Rest that players will find themselves in when the game launches!
Tumblr media
Thank You!
Thanks for sticking through to the end of the post, we always look forward to sharing our month's work with all of you--thank you for taking the time to read. We'll see you around the Discord!

Finally making an OC info post- by no means is this all of them, just ones that are most active and/or live in my head rent free.
Tumblr media
First up- Rhys (DnD 5e - Rime of the Frostmaiden)
Tumblr media
20 years Old, Half Orc, Half Elf (sweet baby angel) , He/Him
Fighter- Echo Knight
Absolute Ray of Sunshine; Rhys is from Icewind Dale; more specifically the Nomadic Reghed Tribe of the Elk.
He's unfamiliar with the outside world and even includes settlements in his own country
He's a Himbo basically a big dog.
This campaign lead him to leaving his tribe for the first time after an unfortunate accident which turned him into a small 'painted child' and searching for his missing sister. (both these are sorted now!)
*Rhys found an old oil painting of this child, blacked out and next thing he knew he was that small elf child. Her skin and clothing having the texture of painted canvas, and bleeds paint.
For a good chunk of the campaign he was just a totally normal elf- whose shadow didn't match with the body
Tumblr media
---
Dhalas (DnD 5e Annalor)
Tumblr media
36 Years Old, They/Him, Triton
Drunken Master Monk
Chill surfer dude vibes
Part of a travelling circus, They're a balancing act
Extremely laid back, Dhalas talks like they fight- dancing around, seemingly without rhyme or reason and occasionally clumsy.
---
Foxglove (BG3)
Tumblr media
138 Years old (tweaked her age a lil), She/They, Drow
Arcane Trickster Rogue
Guild Artisan Background- Locksmith & Apprentice Finesmith
Chill and sassy, that Tav who talks their way out of shit.
Skews Towards Chaotic Good
Presents Androgynous most of the time
Must lockpick everything- she's not actually super interested what's inside, she just wants to see the workmanship of the locks and trashtalk how bad they are.
Yeah she's smooching the vampire. (and Halsin)
Naturally cares for others, even at the cost of her own wellbeing.
Has a Phobia of anything touching/going near her eyes- so the start of the game is A Time for Fox.
---
Arslan Dhoro (FFXIV)
Tumblr media
21 Years Old (as of ARR), He/Them
Xaela AuRa
Dragoon - White Mage Main (All healer classes tbh)
Stoic, Resting Angry Face Himbo
He struggles to show emotion but he's just pretty shy and cautious about opening up to others.
From the Azim Steppe, he left in his early teens with his father after the death of his mother, to explore the world beyond the Steppe.
His Father Died in his late teens, attacked in Coerthas thinking he and Arslan were Dravanians.
He's extremely soft and protective for the Scions/his friends
---
Shiv (DnD 5e Saltmarsh- campaign completed)
Tumblr media
Awful, terrible lesbian
68 years old, She/Her, Halfling
Celestial Warlock - Unicorn Patron w/ a Baby Phoenix familiar, Toby
A piece of shit. Is an absolute asshole and wont let you know she cares.
Lowkey magical girl
Ex-smuggler, who's patron is literally 'I can fix her', 'she can be a better person'. Part of the 'Beyond Skeletons' Pirate crew, she's the medic of the crew.
---
Pymmyr Tathnel (DnD 5e)
Tumblr media
Pym
85 Years Old, He/They, Drow
Gloomstalker Ranger
Emotional Support Blink Dog, Princess Liquorice
This boy is scared all the time
Doesn't talk much, but speaks in a soft voice
Has disordered 'Sleeping' and Eating :)
His plague mask has tinted lenses to help ease the strain with how bright the surface is
I wont tell too much about them as a lot of their info is spoilers to other players. But this sad Drow just rocks up in my head on the regular.
---
Erebus (Anima Beyond Fantasy)
Tumblr media
AKA- My first TTRPG character! circa 2011-2 I think???
Real name Sho Yoshimitsu
22 Years Old, He/Him
Duk'Zarist Nephilim
Assassin
Textbook 'strong silent and intimidating hot man'
But basically a big soft boy if you break past the mile thick ice
Tragic backstory™ , used to using his body for the job
He really enjoys cooking!
Also hopelessly in love with a small soft summoner, Caelum (the one hugging him), They're RedxBlue gays
---
I think I'll leave it there for now!
I may add more later, I hope it was interesting?? and I'm still pretty shy with yelling this much about my characters haha.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far! 💜

My Road Trip (platonic) with Jesus
Tumblr media
Just some pics of when I showed @one-coming-is-enough all the kingdoms of the world. And no, before anybody asks, that is not a euphemism.
Yeah, sure, we cuddled a bit--
Tumblr media Tumblr media
--but that was just to keep Jesus from freezing to death! I'd do the same for Job's kids (even @ennonymous-twink, though that would mostly be to keep him from trying to cuddle with @mrazfellco).
And yeah, I did show him some pornography,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
but the kid (human-god) had to learn about the birds and bees sometime, didn't he? He was already 33 years old for Satan's sake! Wouldn't want him to get to 3000 without learning how babies are made--not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything.
Tumblr media
See? That's not even me. That's Crowley (whoever he is) and from what Aziraphale says they had a pretty awkward conversation on the Ark about why unicorns were about to go extinct. So glad Aziraphale doesn't waste his time hanging out with that idiot anymore.
But Jesus, honestly, if you had such a great time on our road trip,
Tumblr media
why'd you go back? You knew what was gonna happen.
Tumblr media
You didn't have to die like that. You had your whole life ahead of you and you just threw it away. Out of--I dunno, some self-sacrificial stupid sense of duty, or blind loyalty to a God who didn't care enough about you not to set you up to be killed in one of the more creatively brutal ways humans have come up with to kill each other.
Tumblr media
And sure, you came back, rose from the grave, escaped your tomb, ascended to Heaven, whatever. But none of that would even have been necessary if you hadn't been executed in the first place!
You could've king of the world. Or you could've just been an anonymous nomad. Point is, it would've been your choice. Not some pre-determined destiny chosen for you before you were even born.
We could've kept on travelling together (platonic) There was so much more I wanted to show you (platonic)
Tumblr media
...sorry. That was a lot, wasn't it? It just gets to me. What She puts people through, you know? And when people choose Her instead of their own freedom and happiness. Looking at you @supremearchangelaziraphale
I think I need go lie down now. Have a drink.
Tumblr media
Maybe a smoke, too.

As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I can not ignore the hatred, violence and failing democracies that I have witnessed in the last months and marked the times we live in. While I don’t seem to find any reasons to celebrate, my heartfelt wish for the coming year is immediate PEACE. A profound and lasting Peace for the world.  🤲🕊💖

ok after making my last post i realized i needed to draw albatrio as fantasy creatures from my og world (that i first made at like 10 or 11) athzurea, like. immediately. so
Tumblr media
i’m gonna explain the species too. ok so
gillion is an oceanic alluraean cat, which is a non-flying semiaquatic feline about the size of a big house cat. oceanic alluraean cats cannot breathe underwater, but can hold their breath for hours at a time and spend most of their time fully beneath the surface, though they do have settlements both above and below the ocean. they are also one of the most private sentient species, rarely interacting with those outside their own societies, but not nearly as secluded socially as dragons or unicorns, though. (story-wise i think he also could have made for a pretty good unicorn but i wouldn’t have been able to keep him looking so… like him. y’know?)
jay is a mountain gryphon, one of the larger intelligent creatures, about lion-sized, though their size does vary amongst individuals, as gryphons are some of the most visually diverse of the athzurean people. they are also the most widely spread across the world, usually taking on the role of the upper class in most cities and other large settlements. their tendency to gravitate towards power is the source of the majority of conflicts in athzurea.
and chip is an ashwolf, which are between the size of a large dog and a wolf, and not pictured is their clawed wings. they are relatively unsocial people, sticking to the outskirts of settlements and being primarily nomadic in nature. they don’t tend to make a lot of friends, but they have very loyal family groups and were the first group of people to domesticate the now-popular pet, the puppy spider. and culturally, they are very drawn to fire, ritually running through forest fires as a sign of being a mature adult, and staining and marking their bodies with ash and charcoal. cosmetic burn scars are also popular.

Developing some backstory for the Moose man, combining his backstory with my unicorn princess centaur! I’m thinking that he was unicorn centers main bodyguard.  He might have owed her father a favor, or done some great deed, that Warrenton getting at such a position, considering  his extremely humble beginnings as a hermit like nomad barbarian. Also, there a relationship is purely platonic. She is very much like a kid cousin to him, and she views him as the fun uncle, who actually pays attention to what she wants and or likes! Something happened to make him leave that position, don’t know if it was voluntary yet?  Still hashing out all the details for both of these babies !

Highly Specific Ship Ranking
Senna/Varrick
Tarrlok/Shiro Shinobi
Amon/Hiroshi Sato
Suyin/The Chef
Pema/Unalaq
hope these are crack-shippy enough!
Beautiful. *cracks knuckles*
Senna/Varrick
Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay
Mostly this is because Tonraq is so fucking hot I don't know why Senna would want anyone else. But I'm open to finding out.
Tarrlok/Shiro Shinobi
Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay
Love me a good Tarrlok ship. They're different, but both ambitious performers in their own way. I want to gnaw on this like a bone.
Amon/Hiroshi Sato
Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay
For a not-unheard-of crackship, this one doesn't do it for me. Most of this is based on headcanons that Amon and Hiroshi neither like nor respect one another and that there are a lot of power dynamics playing out behind the scenes about the future of the Equalists. I also read Hiroshi as the straightest man ever (Amon not so much).
Suyin/The Chef
Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay
As much as I love Sutaar she has absolutely fucked this guy. Maybe they both have? Unicorn!chef?
Pema/Unalaq
Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay
Holy shit this is amazing. Pema leaving Tenzin for someone who actually connects to the spirits? What if Unalaq is a better fit for the Air Nomad values than he is? The devastating angst. I am eating this with both fists.

Got sidetracked lookin at family tree shit again, lookin for themes and shit.
Hell of a lot of fucking Water. Salt water, to be specific. Brown side of the family were hungarian-hunnic royalty that boated the fuck into scotland. Both sides of the family ended up founding salt lake city, by carving the salt lake into the fucking city.
Lots of horse themes. the huns were so successful because of constant horseback, scottland's national animal is the unicorn and has kelpies, and salt lake city itself is in the middle of horse habitat. Even seahorses tie into lore.
royalty. both of these family lines are chronically fucking king, avoiding death and empire collapse by moving into and marrying even more fucking royalty. it only stops in the states because mormons. the mormonism only stopped because of art. at any rate, all of these people were chronic bullies who ran when that didn't work. 'kiss my ass' ranchers who refused to farm until they drove themselves back into another different desert. The royalty is what ties into the history and fairy tales- the horses became mythical because royals owned them. The royals are so because they keep the fairy tales alive- to prove themselves royal, special, original. These people were desperate to stay connected to themselves, and god. Oral tradition over tributes and sacrifices, they were the ones who always demanded sacrifice, to them. Felix's parent(s) would have broken the cycle; they're just kind of romantic americans (though less literal and more symbolic, in the case of pokemon.)
Pokemon wise, I've got extrapolations from this for Felix; Talonflame and Rapidash, because of the Galarian clans. Lapras, Primarina, Dragalge, Horsea, Glastier/Spectrier, and any water types such as vaporeon. Water/Fairy the most. Anything saltwater works, though (including water types simply based on saltwater creatures in variation) An Actual Reason to associate with arceus lore-wise! nomadic....horse.....god people....he's son of those in pokemon-

January 2024 - Development Update
Tumblr media
Hello folks, Miyazaki here! Hoping that your 2024 is off to a great start.
Like we mentioned in our December 2023/year in review development update, Mythaura has officially reached a new stage in development: active content creation. As a heads up, this means that there will be a reduction in the amount of big, shiny new content—we won't be rolling out any systems close to the scale of the demo.
From here on out it will primarily be updates on sponsored Ko-fi content, keeping up with the Ko-fi Quarterly Rewards system, art (including more Beast expressions!), and occasionally some written content/worldbuilding.
We will always post on the first of every month, rain or shine, but we just wanted to call out that if the news posts seem a little lighter in comparison that it's not because we're not hard at work. It's the opposite!
Under the cut:
Rogue starter Class
Ko-fi Winter Quarter 2024 winners
Ko-fi sponosored Companions
Dragon expressions
Featured Class: Rogue
Tumblr media
Rogues cherish skill and versatility above all. Their fighting style focuses on evasion, speed, and bolstering their own attacks to score high-damage hits against their opponents.
The Thieves Guild has its roots in the Southern Plain. Unicorn herds generally don't lay claim to any one territory, instead following the seasonal paths of the storms that batter the region, so inter-herd communication became crucial for the economies of these nomadic groups. A particularly savvy band of merchants found that there was more money to be had acting as in-betweens for these herds than marketing their own goods, so they established a network of contacts across the whole of the Southern Plain.
Not all contacts were willing to handle the more illicit asks—the movement of illegal goods, sabotaging competing herds, and even discreet assassinations, in more extreme cases. A splinter group of like-minded individuals banded together to form the first Thieves Guild, a business operation that was—in most cases—willing to take on whatever work was asked, given the price was right.
Today, the Thieves Guild has spread to all corners of the continent, but are especially prominent in densely-populated cities and towns. Their mere presence has left an indelible mark on Mythauran society, and nothing escapes their notice.
Tumblr media
Starting Equipment: Thief's Claw
Tumblr media
Small, subtle, and easily tucked in the folds of a Beast's apparel—the Thief's Claw is the quintessential tool for any Rogue. What it lacks in decoration it more than makes up for in functionality—its deceptively sharp edge can be used to cut through rope, aid with picking a lock, or quietly encourage someone to comply with a Rogue's request.
Tumblr media
Companion Concepts
Tumblr media
Along with the Thief's Claw starting equipment, choosing a Rogue for your custom starter Beast will also grant you a Class-unique Companion.
Ko-fi Sponsors of Bronze level or higher will have a say in which companion they would like to see as the starter Companion for the RogueClass. Please vote on this post by Monday, February 26, 2024 at 11:59pm PST in order for your vote to be considered!
Tumblr media
Ko-fi Winter Quarter 2024 Winners
Thank you to all the Ko-fi sponsors who voted for the Winter Quarter 2024 rewards. Next month we will show the finalized artwork for the Snowdrift Furline Companion and the Knitted Sweater Glamour. Stay tuned!
Tumblr media
Expressions: Dragon
Tumblr media
Koa, Luci, and Kymara have all been working hard on the Beast expressions project, and we've made enought progress to be able to show you the finalized artwork for both the young and adult Dragons.
Crafting the expressions has been an enormous undertaking. Along with the linework, shading, and highlights, every Special and Super requires manual illustration on the base. Following this, we run each expression through a PSD plugin to build every color. We have almost completed every species' base layers on all colors (top, bottom, base, & eye) and are excited to share them with you in the following months as we complete their Specials.

Mythaura v0.26
Mythaura v0.26
Battle state has been refactored to add stability and solve problems with between-state retention
Removed unneeded collision objects, reducing overall physics calculations.
Implemented instancing for all meshes to re-use similar objects instead of duplicating them.
Disabled swaying vegetation by default, which heavily impacts performance. This can be toggled in the graphics settings.
Fixes pixelation/blurring that occurs when zoomed on a beast or companion in Safari and Firefox.
