Round 3, Match 2: The Icewarden (Flight Rising) vs. Leif (Bug Fables)
Icewarden Propaganda:
sorry but the icewarden is the dragon Ice Diety not totally sure about his lore bc the only diety I bothered to learn the indepth Lore of was Spacedad but the guy lives in the frozenest part of the land has ice in his NAME created two seperate fuzzy dragon breeds (so that they could also live in the frozenest part of sornieth) i cannot stress enough this man is the dragon god of being cold also 90% sure he was created when a cloud of ash blotted out the sun and froze over the southern part of the sea creating the southern icefields and one (1) very cold god
Leif Propaganda:
he's a silly lil guy who has seen the Horrors™️. unwillingly subjected to experimentation and fusing with a corpse after being abandoned, he woke up decades later with amnesia, trauma and ice powers! they join a rag-tag explorer team in hopes to uncover who he is and help his new friends with they're quest
Stormcatcher finds out what someone's been referring to him as. It's causing him to question his identity...
shoutout to @ack-cough and her outstanding he/him lesbian fanart of the deities that inspired all this! I hope you enjoyed Stormcatcher's reaction to the lovely interpretations of him <3 and I hope everyone enjoys the video. I had a lot of fun making it!
All voices were done by me and all characters belong to Flight Rising. The fanart pieces shown are once again both by @ack-cough
Nivis is a Gaoler Seeker who recently returned to it’s home clan IceFallen. This creature no longer resembles the Huntress that it once was, even so its will to serve the IceWarden was strong enough to carry it across land and sea to return to Her.
I learned a lot with this drawing! I was also able to design an idea that I’ve been kicking around: ‘What if a Gaoler fell into the Wyrmwound?’
Now that this reference is complete I might be able to do more casual doodles of this beast. :) Really love them as a character and as a design. Would be happy to answer asks specifically for/about Nivis too! (With more drawings!)
ok tma/flight rising fans discussion time. which fear do you think each deity/flight best represents
like some are super easy to categorize, ie Ice is 100% Hunt, but some are tricky to think about
I’d say Plague could be both Corruption/Flesh, but leans more toward Flesh because of the whole “keep evolving and changing to survive/survival of the fittest” elements
Shadow may seem to be Dark on the surface but I’d go out on a limb and say it’s more Stranger? Like the whole trickery stuff is more in line with it and their elemental holiday is literally a circus too
Lightning I think hits the middle point between Buried and Vast pretty well. Buried because of the whole Work Till You Drop part and the pressure from that, and Vast because it’s literally called The Shifting Expanse. Plus do you think one dragon matters in mr Stormdad’s plans? Very Vast stuff
Wind is also probably Vast but I feel like if they got evil with it they could probably be Spiral too y’know?
Arcane and Light are both Eye but in different ways I think. Arcane is obviously more about research or I Have To Know side of it, but I think Light is more about the actual watching part (like how the Lightweaver just kinda. watched the whole emperor thing happen and didn’t do anything about it really)
I think Earth might be End? I’m gonna be real I don’t know enough about Earth’s lore to make a call here I just think the aesthetics match up
The ones I’m having a hard time classifying are Fire, Nature, and Water bc they don’t really match up with any of the fears in a major way. Like yeah you could probably say Fire = Desolation and Nature = Hunt but I feel like there’s more to the fears and the flights than that, and that’s just a very surface level take?? Idk
ok so i've had all the deities liked for a while now right. but then the achievements redropped and APPARENTLY i was missing one. i've been way too stubborn to individually check each deity for a like & have instead just been lazily checking every fest.
Round 1, Match 14: The Icewarden (Flight Rising) vs. Lancelot (Granblue Fantasy)
Icewarden Propaganda:
???
Lancelot Propaganda:
He's a knight captain of an order called the White Dragons because he is a prodigy with his dual blades and also has ice magic. He puts on an air of being very polite and proper because he's from a poor town and the society he's in is super classist and he feels he has to conform, but when he's around people he feels close to he's actually a huge weirdo.
