For the OC thing- 24?

#24 pulls up Alehjo Kyistre! The picrew above is just a sketch mostly for colour palette and general Vibe - he doesn't really look super much like this, because he's Haridorian, and Haridorians are something built like demons except for all the ways they're not. (Alehjo has hooves like a goat and furry legs. His hair tends to float and he doesn't need much oxygen, and he's just built to throw shit and has heavy-ass bones.)

Alehjo is xlintae on the gender front, and by genetics he's primarily syateikh Haridorian, with a good mix of aibhantre and a little bit of ruebhajlo. If he's got any halayhi in him, it's not noticeable.

He's so far a minor character; which is to say he's an investigative journalist based in downtown T'iuonne, in Ilya Haridore itself. He's got two daughters that he adopted while out on a work trip - Antigh'yen and Caph'drei - alongside his roommate-sort-of-partner Goelyanh and eventually Ryukao Kusue who is mostly avoiding everyone out of trauma atm.

Alehjo's story is pretty straightforward, since he hasn't featured in a major plotline yet: he was an EMT working for the equivalent of the Red Cross, when on a battlefield he got a little too close to one of the Detan Burata, 01 Zatsu Shi, and she decided to answer this by wiping his memory and giving him a nasty concussion. When he woke up back in Ilya Haridore, he had zero memory of his family, husband, or really anything about himself. He was missing an eye before that, and has no idea how that happened.

His husband was deeply upset by this and divorced him, which Alehjo is... mostly ambivalent about; he doesn't remember the man much and figures if he was willing to leave him over it, then he probably wasn't worth keeping around. Alehjo slowly got back on his feet and went into investigative journalism mostly on a whim.

He has glowing blue (like his eyes) tattoos that he doesn't know the significance of, and enjoys talking to cameras. Technology is the wheelhouse of the xlintae Haridorians, he just likes cameras specifically.

Before he got his daughters by accident on a work trip (the missing unholy archetype, Eriadn' Xlintaea himself, accidentally transformed two human teenagers into Haridorians and sort of shoved them on Alehjo who he thought needed some more anchors to his present life and they all just kind of accepted that), he also enjoyed doing drugs. Yes, the same drugs Eriadn' Ditrauan conspired with the Eiuraeu Auc'xc to destroy part of Ilya Afloria's economy with. He does less of them now because he has to be a Responsible Parent.

The joke's on Alehjo though, he figured out that if he does certain drugs, he gets access to never-before-seen xlintae abilities that all the xlintae have access to but no one's figured out yet. So he keeps a supply of those on hand just in case he runs into another Detan Burata and they try to ruin his life again.

He hasn't figured out either that he could use those exact abilities to restore his own memory. I guess the question is whether or not he'd actually want to? He might not, idk. I'm gonna make him deal with Ryukao's entire bullshit first.

[send me a number between 2 and 787 and I'll tell you a little about that character]

[guys if you keep sending me numbers below 100 you're going to keep getting characters whose first names start with A. c'mon. 787 ocs to pick from. The Ms don't start until 455. :p ]

#asks #anonymous #that was a fun little exercise in 'oh shit pale you gotta name some things in denellic Right Now'#every single one of those concepts w/ a made up name that isn't a person has a translation btw #detan burata is vulenic for children of the storm btw #which isn't what they call themselves but it's what everyone else calls them #(they call themselves the siires viesi - lyaric for atomic voices)#you may suspect that the detan burata are vocaloids. incorrect. they are the cyborgs that made the vocaloids.#anyway alehjo is a wrath demon basically we just did some worldbuilding #met the archdemon of wrath. got two teenage daughters. has to deal with golly from inscryption. as one does

Rauma, Teil zwei

Ganz versteckt zwischen leerstehenden, aber schmucken Häusern, ein Bäcker mit tollem Schwarzbrot, sogar mit Kruste. Nach wochenlangem Pappbrot ein Hochgenuss. So wie früher, nur dick Butter drauf. Rauma ist eine Hochburg des Klöppelns, die ganze nächste Woche wird als Klöppelwoche beworben. Nix für uns, aber die Knopfauswahl war beeindruckend, Cousine Heike hätte ihre helle Freude daran.

Wir verabschieden uns mit dem hohen Abendhimmel und mit dem morbiden Charme der Stadt.

Das Wetter heute, am Donnerstag, sehr durchwachsen, wir machen eine Wanderung zu den 36 urzeitlichen Steingräbern. Sie lagen mal an der Küste, aber durch die Landhebung nach dem Wegschmelzen des 30 Meter dicken Eises liegen die Steinreste nun 20 km im Landesinneren.

Steine, Moose, Felsen, Stille, und selbstgebastelte Blaubeeren. Die mögen auch die Braunbären. Haben allerdings noch keinen getroffen, ebenso wie Elch und Rentier.

Eigentlich wollten wir hier in der Einsamkeit übernachten, ich hatte schon unsere schöne Zinkwanne mit den Kräutern (Rosmarin, Zitronenthymian und Oregano) hinten auf die große Kiste gestellt, entschließen uns aber zur Weiterfahrt. Bei unserem nächsten Stopp an der Kirche St. Olaf in Tyrvää wollen wir über Nacht bleiben, incl. Burata mit Tomaten und Rosmarin. Wo ist die Wanne mit den Kräutern? Oh Mist, die hatte ich auf der Kiste stehengelassen. Bei scharfer Linkskurve muss sie im Straßengraben gelandet sein. Schlechte Laune breitet sich aus, 50 km zurückfahren macht keinen Sinn. Dann eben Burata und Tomaten ohne Rosmarin. Zu allem Überfluß reißt bei einem Fahrradausflug in die Stadt der Bautenzug von Angelas Schaltung. Na ja, besser ein Schaden am Fahrrad als am Auto. Da zeigt ein gelbes Schraubenschlüsselsymbol, dass wir turnusgemäß zur Inspektion müssen. Ist wohl nach 4.000 Kilometern voreingestellt.

Demnächst mehr zu der interessanten Kirche.

2001 Copenhagen - Number 4 - Risto Samardziev - "Бурата во мене"

youtube

It's an off-year for Skopje Fest given North Macedonia have been relegated from Eurovision for 2001, but that's not going to stop Risto Samardziev from entering a song that's a throwback to the glory years of the 1980s with a power-voiced, synth-motifed, line-clichéd chorus to make us all feel better.

Бурата во мене (Burata vo mene/The Storm in Me) is a feel good song about a man with big emotions going on. No, I don't have the lyrics, but you know this man is in love just from that ascending bassline. The way the instruments come layer on layer, matching the build throughout the verse to a chorus that has the drive that build promises. It's everything you could want from a pop song.

The judges put this 8th of 20 songs in the competition in 2001. Far from his best result, but not too shabby either. Compared to many songs in Skopje Fest, it feels Western. There's no folk or tradition here and those things go down very well at Skopje Fest in the 2000s, which perhaps does some way to explain why he didn't do so well this time through.

This isn't Risto's last hurrah by any means - he entered Skopje Fest four more times after this - even though his career started in the 1980s, he was still making music in 2014 good enough for a national final. Given he's now won one of my top 26s and finished fourth this year, I strongly expect him to appear here again in the future.

Morso

Morso is located in a delightful part of town (i.e. somewhere I can’t afford). Airy and pretty townhouses. Clean, wide streets. Trees and shrubbery abound. This is where you live if you have the moolah.

With such surroundings, a certain type of restaurant is expected. A bit laid back, clean and minimalist and concentrating on the food at an appropriate regional price. With such introductions complete, we dived into the food.

Olives. Fairly ordinary even if there were chilli flakes lurking inside. My dining companion accidentally inhaled one. He promptly teared up. I am not made of such weak stuff, so when I took a bite, I judged it as mildly spicy. In any case, these were ok but probably not something to go for again.

Arancini, tomatoes and mozzarella crispy risotto bites, pea and pecorino romano DOP sauce. Crunchy and filling the pea and pecorino sauce was a particular delight, so much so that I ended up slathering my fries in it.

Parmesan skinny fries, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, parsley, Italian black truffle mayonnaise. Crispy and light. Great when paired with the pea and pecorino sauce as you then had crispy fries with delectable cheese, a great combination.

Calamari, crispy panko coated calamari rings, spicy Calabrian chilli & lemon mayo. Oilless, crispy and punchy and with a good dip these were a delight filling my mouth with the things my body likes, fat, oil, seafood.

Rigatoni pistachio & burrata, fresh pistachio and basil pesto, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP, homemade buffalo burrata, toasted pistachio crumb. A nutty flavour with al dente pasta, burata and basil. I applaud the generous use off nuts and the deep flavour of the pesto, with this al dente pasta, it was excellent.

Bucatini cacio e pepe, Pecorino Romano DOP, Grana Padano DOP, black pepper. Simple and decent although the amount of water in the sauce was a bit strange. It almost seemed like the pasta had been cooked and then someone had forgotten to drain it that well. It could have been so much better but with pasta swimming in an almost soup, it just didn’t float my boat.

Truffle & Ricotta Raviolo, black truffle & ricotta ravioli, fresh pea, truffle butter, Parmigiano Reggiano DOP. I have been reading more and more about how truffle flavour is often created through derivatives of petroleum. It is definitely a case of knowing too much making things destroying the dream. Whereas previously I would have naively thought that everything that said it was truffle actually had some truffle, I now know better.

In my naivete, things were ok. Now with the curse of knowledge, with every bite, all I could taste was the oil dripping off my tongue. It kind of made it disgusting to me. Although my pocket will probably thank me in the future.

Cuttle fish tomato pasta. A confused dish, trying to be tomato-ey, hot yet fulsome. The al dente pasta was just the wrong side of cooked, as it had a bit too much crunch. The cuttlefish didn’t really do it for me as it didn’t seem to have much flavour of anything really, as I suspect that these were until very recently, in the deep freeze.

At the end of my meal, having had my dreams shattered in the middle by the truffle, I guess I shouldn’t have been that surprised at the end. Although the meal started out well, it was a bit like window dressing I have known. Pretty on the outside/at the start, less so as time went by. That is something that I hear more and more people in the UK are feeling nowadays. That Brexit was a Bad Idea.

Although I cannot have any effect on that issue, what I can do is vote with my feet for food. So when I left Morso, I did so for the first (and last) time.

A quiet eating 6.5/10.

Lunch (2 courses) was GBP30 excluding drinks and service.

im sure someone has asked this but 696

#696 is delightfully, wonderfully, holy-shit-I-didn't-realize-how-little-art-I-had-of-him-what-the-fuck Hero of Wind and Voices, Tarim 'Laqir' Nakoshima, chosen Hero of Kharos! Pictured here as his recolor.me from 2020, a very bad drawn image from 2014, and a base art from 2012. As you can see, he's always had Generic Anime Protagonist brown hair and green eyes, and has always had that bright-red and bright-cyan motif around him.

When @castcuraga decides he is ready to open commissions, I will give him somewhere between 150-300$ CAD and he will do a fully painted picture of Tarim for me, and it will be glorious, and it will force me to draw a full reference of him, which tbh he really needs.

I know I said 'a few facts'. You're getting a fucking infodump and you will like it, Tsuko-my-dear, because Tarim is one of my oldest OCs, and if I'm not mistaken, my oldest OC that I still use. I think... I'm pretty sure the only older OC that I have is Tranq (Shadow Tranquility is her full name, and I have no idea if she's ever coming back, I won't rule it out).

Tarim has been with me for over a decade, and I love him, and he deserves the world. He was the protagonist for Vocal Paradise, my very first NaNoWriMo novel in 2012. I won that year. I was so proud of myself. He came back for 2017 in Starlight ~ Beginning of the End, which I should reread because the only info I apparently put on NaNo itself was "tarim has to leave the vamps because shit blew up, naitofiara is there," so 10/10, me.

2018, Firstlight ~ The Cultist's Blade opened with "Tarim Nakoshima is dead, the Reihe having consumed him after a Fragment left him in the wrong timeline. [..] Thus, a new group of Twilight Warriors must be chosen." Three years later, Tarim makes his as-of-right-now final appearance in 2012 with Dragonsword ~ His Last Night's Requiem as not only the owner of the titular requiem, but "Not so long after the initial fall of Kagiru Network, two strange young men appear in the middle of the Salem Academy courtyard. One looks Tarathiel Draconis in the eye, tosses her the necklace he had around his neck, and fades to nothingness." which is a pretty metal way to die.

So, now that I've established Tarim's been around for fuckin ages and likes haunting the narrative, who is he?

Tarim is Maradeim! Originally called the Cherchant, which is French for 'searching', because when I was 12 I was learning French so a great deal of the language made it into my writing. The Maradeim are from Ilya Loremmi, the oldest of my original worlds (and very much still a part of the Aethel!), and specifically from the city-state of Isuparingu, which I think is a google-translated-romaji corruption of 'inspiration'? Anyway, they were birthed by the goddess Ivonnu, who's still around, in a fight with her sister Ikuto, who is also still around as Kharos' daughter and being pissy in the woods.

What makes the Maradeim different from ye average elf? Uh, they're grey? Yeah, I know, good question.

Maradeim have been established to be Pretty Rare, so you don't see 'em much outside Isuparingu, and almost never outside the Lorem as it is. Four of the Detan Burata - Zona, Seikyoru (who you may know better as Athena Cykes), Myn, and Rokichi - are Maradeim. To date, Tarim is the only named, non-DB Maradeim character I currently have. (There's two others in my records, Felix and Jaycinda, but I highly doubt they'll ever reappear. I would have to totally rework them, and changing names and designs for characters who didn't have more than that is just making new characters.)

Tarim has average brown hair, spearmint green eyes, gunmetal gray skin, and a jawline sharp enough to slice a man alive. He stands 5'9", would probably be called an otter if he were in a gay bar, and from what I can tell, is the Most Average Maradeim To Ever Maradeim.

He doesn't have parents. Why doesn't he have parents? Dunno. The very first iteration of Vocal Paradise was actually a story my first soulbond, Iban, told me about growing up in the desert. He was making shit up because he was babysitting his younger brother, but I still took it for inspiration. Eventually I moved Tarim to Ilya Ustuxe, I think in 2017 for Starlight, where he actually was an illegal immigrant, worked as a veterinarian for horrors that come out of the woods, and promptly had a super-gay romance with the king, Morcair Rakshara.

Tarim's role has always been that of Protagonist, when he appears; and if he does appear as the Mentor Who Dies, it's because of how his powers and prophecy have always worked.

The oldest prophecy I've ever written was the Prophecy of the Five Heroes, in various forms, and the kicker to it is that people have tried to fulfill it, and crucially, they failed. There's been three generations of Heroes: the first was the Bringers of Hope, the second was the Crafters of Balance, and the third is the Challengers of Fate.

The Bringers of Hope failed so badly that none of them have ever even appeared in any written works: the only thing left of them is their titles, and the fact that they failed. (I know their names, though, and their relationships with each other. Hehehe.) The Crafters of Balance was Tarim, Nyktophotia, Elrua, Akui, and Ikane; who were all actively written out of the narrative when their powers overwhelmed them. They still haunt the narrative. The Challengers of Fate are Tarathiel, Kinefira, Ezra, Saga, Tessa, and Leilahi.

You'll notice that there's six challengers, whereas only five of the other two. Really wonder why the first two groups failed, folks...

Regardless. Tarim is the OG Hero of Voices, and his main magical power is to command the three Alyvian spellsongs - the Reihe, Sterben, and Lautlos - and to reshape the world of travel, Ilya Serina, to his will. He begins using the Sterben, and eventually the Reihe, and only once uses the Lautlos. Contrary to Tarathiel, who primarily uses the Lautlos and sometimes the Sterben, and only uses the Reihe when she purifies her own heart.

Tarim has always been the protagonist, and his job is to be dragged through the Serin into varying parts of the wilderness of the Aethel by the plot, being pissy the entire time and befriending a bunch of animals, sometimes being dragged around by a girl who is supposed to be his love interest and who he doesn't give two shits about. The only person he's shown any romantic interest in was Morcair, who he died on very purposefully and who he kept a lot of secrets from. Morcair's pretty bitter about it, and helps out the Challengers only for Tarim's memory. Lmao.

You'll notice, though, that right up top I said that Tarim goes by Laqir. This is because while I knew from the start what his name was, he has never willingly given his name to another person in his entire fucking life. Seriously. If he weren't sorted under the Ts, I wouldn't have told you his name was Tarim. In my actual files where all his art is, he's listed under Laqir. When I make the wiki, he'll be listed under Laqir as well, and his actual name will only be in the sidebar.

When I write him, he always and only uses he/him pronouns, and only gets named in the narrative after someone asks him his name onscreen, and he has to give it. The first time he did in Starlight (because tbh I barely remember all the shit that happened in Vocal Paradise), it was to Morcair. Tarim panicked, glanced around outside the carriage they were in, saw a road sign for Laqir Lane, and told him his name was Laqir.

What fuckin name was he going by before the shattering of the Aethel? Gods only know. It sure fuckin' wasn't Tarim.

Why he has this issue, I have no idea. But he won't give you his name, just Laqir, and gods only know if Nakoshima is his actual surname either. Prob'ly not. I have no idea why he was orphaned in the desert. He got to Ilya Ustuxe by being a stowaway on a ship as a teenager and is Super Illegally There, but fuck you he's Laqir Nakoshima, consort to the King and Hero of Voices, no one is going to be asking for his passport.

The red/blue thing he's got is something he famously shares with Nyktophotia: that's actually an Alyvian thing, and they both have it through their use of the spellsongs. Tarathiel only does that when she's actively using her powers, and Kinefira simply refuses to use the spellsongs so she doesn't get to be special.

Tarim is a grumpy, generous guy honestly. Dislikes being personable, dislikes being dragged into shit, a very Bilbo-like character tbh? Genuinely very loving, absolutely atrocious at trusting people. Super reliable, though, and has an interest in chemistry.

Tarim is also the actual owner of the Kharosian stronghold on Ilya Kava, as well as a low mansion on a phantom island in Ilya Ustuxe. He stored most of his personal stuff in the Ustux, and most of his Hero stuff in the Kav. The Challengers use his stronghold in the Kav as their primary base of operations in the Aethel, since they don't reeeeaaally want to go to the Ustux and deal with Morcair's grief over Tarim, but Tarim himself is still haunting both of these places in what fragments of consciousness he's managed to plant in them, so he's all smug about that.

It'd be nice to go back and write a few stories for him, tbh. It's been a while, and most of the things he's done in Sagiverse sum up to angrily being written out of the narrative onscreen to pass the mantle to Tarathiel. We should go see what he was up to before that.

[send me a number between 2 and 787 for a few facts about that OC, please send me more these are super fun]

#asks #dorksmithery #it's laqiiiiiir my boy my boy my boy #fun fact: the oc directly above him is tarathiel!#i love answering asks about my writing and ocs and worldbuilding #seriously y'all can just ask about literally any of this #anything interesting i'll tell you all about it
