Lemme just... freak over Kazan for a sec 😂😂

Updated concepts for Homura’s family, as well as the reveal of her dad! 🌋 Meet Kazan, an earthbender and the brother to the chief of the Lava People. Kazan and Nani split up about 3 years prior to the story. Kazan is a laid-back individual who is extremely family oriented. Nani is a hot-headed and feisty firebender who is descended from the Bhanti Tribe. Nani spends much of her time as a traveling merchant for her people and gatherer. Homura, as we all know, is a talented earthbender as well as a lavabender (the third one known in existence). She’s extremely hotheaded and easily angered. Kaili is the youngest at 8 years old and is extremely mischievous and spoiled. Kaili loves provoking her older sister until she literally explodes. Kaili, like her sister and father, is an earthbender. (Note: these are not final designs, just updated concepts. Please keep in mind that their culture is inspired heavily on Hawaiian and Maori influence but also tied in with Chinese and Japanese influence as well. Also yes, I know Kazan sounds similar to Ghazan, but they’re not the same.)

Updated version on Khelhe!

Her clan is called the ‘Khoihut’ or more widely known, the merchant people.

Their civilization is in between two big kingdoms,Theskia and Axdeni. More on them when I ‘completely’ fleshed it out. (aka when I draw a map lol)

Her dad usually takes the trip from their home to Theskia to then stay there for some time and then return home to pack more supplies and move to Axdeni. With other words, he’s barely home.

Multiple men and women do this, and as it is kind of a familial thing, and Khelhe doesn’t have any older brothers or sisters, she’s kind of expected to take over her fathers caravan and do the same trip he does.

Even tho Khelhe likes traveling, having to do it for the rest of her life when she turns 21 is not something she’s looking forward to.

A drawing of an Avatar oc of mine who I changed into a merman for MerMay! Hisao feels like a fish out of water, funnily enough, because he’s originally a firebender /cough/ avatar

An older drawing to fill my page a bit haha. (also pls don’t look at the signature, I drew this late and posted it on my instagram, I’m too lazy to change it now lol)

This is my newer oc Khelhe! The clothes still need some work and I’m trying to figure out her personality, but so far so good!

-------------------------------------

This is what I’ve got so far; 

Khelhe is 18 and lives in a clan, semi ruled by a chief/url (still working out what I wanna call it lol) and a Shaman.

Chiefs are always men, however Shaman can be man, woman, both or neither.

I normally wasn’t going to include magic or any kind of ‘supernatural’, but I really want to let the Shaman make sense, so magic and mythological creatures it is! So far Unicorns/Pegasy, Centaurs, Satyrs and Dragons are the creatures that roam around on the yet unnamed continent Khelhe lives on.

The rings in her dreadlocks actually have a meaning! They represent how old a member of the clan is. Not everybody has dreadlocks, but everybody does have the rings! Khelhe isn’t actually wearing gold ones, it’s more of a polished bronze. They start wearing silver rings after 20y (1 silver ring represents 10 years) at 50y they start wearing golden rings in their hair (if they get to that age).

one last thing, the tattoo on her forehead is the symbol of a bird, which means freedom/spirituality as well as being protected by the Sky Father. (you have Mother Earth, Father Sky, Brother Sun and Sister Moon) the symbol is basically her totem that helps guide her through her life. A totem is always tattooed on the forehead, because it has to helps them think and contemplate every difficult part of their life. Multiple people can have the same totem, they will be seen as totem brothers/sisters and are required to help each other in times of need. Many hunters, for example, have a wolf or a lion totem, whilst gatherers/farmers (I’m still not sure what kind of civilization its gonna be) have a doe, bird or ant (yes, ant) totem. These talismans aren’t family related. It can wildly differ, or perfectly fit together.

It is first painted on the forehead at birth, and it continuous to be painted on the forehead until the boys had their first hunt and the girls had their first cycle.

The tattoo part is the longest because that was the easiest to figure out, it might become more complex eventually, though.
