All My Arcana Love & Ask The Apprentice Blog

Hyperfixation Space for The Arcana Game & My Apprentice! 

[avokadoodle]

I know I still have to finish the "scourge thread" (probably for Wednesday-Friday) but in the mean time, considering that several artists have introduced their apprentices, I thought I might as well do so.

I didn't do it before because I wasn't sure about it because "Who's gonna care about my own apprentice when the game offers already tons of interesting characters"? + "Who's gonna care about my own apprentice when there's a bunch of cool apprentices out there?" But well here I am nonetheless.

It was nice to give Amaranta (she was Veela before but I saw another apprentice with the same name, and Amaranta suits her better! ) finally a face!

I like to think that she's caring, sweet, but decided, headstrong and a professional dork, and she comes from the far lands of the East, lands full of gold (though it's not of real value for its people as the land may be) and pretty much different from what the Western world in Vesuvia knows. There are llamas and pudùs there. And pumas. Among other creatures...

Maybe I'll do some illustrations with her interacting with the official characters sooner or later n-n

Oh! And I wanted to let you know that I'm getting more comfy with CSP when painting :3

If you want to, let me know what you think of her! n-n

Scourge Thread

1. Muriel has been called by Lucio. Usually he would refuse but the Count told him that Asra's safety was at risk if he didn't obey. So he went to... What precisely?

"Show me that you're worth of being my champion"

Quick sketch!! ~Yes, it's colorful but is a sketch It's my little monstah because I didn't know if it was better to study Muriel's profile o

2. Despite his size and strength he didn't fight until his life was threatened by his opponent, being forced to win or otherwise choose death. He won. He's now the Count's champion. And he hates the idea almost more than how much he hates himself for what he just did.

"And thy name shall be... Scourge. What dayya say? "

You know, I know it's not perfect. But hell, clip paint studio is so relaxing and I had a good time doing it! I'm still getting familiar wi

3. Faust gave the news to Asra, who was currently working for the Count in order to protect Muriel from his threats. Asra gets to see from a distance that his friend is hurt and that had just killed someone. He must see him.

"PLEASE"

"I can't, I'm sorry, but the Count gave us orders, nobody can see the Scourge" "But you don't understand, he's my brother, my only friend an

4.

“Scourge! Nice performance. But you can’t be my champ like that. Look what I have for you- Ludovico!”

After barely a glance to the Count's present he knew what awaited for him. The mere idea hurt him to the core... But he knew he didn't have a choice. Hoping to find a light to embrace in the middle of the cold darkness that mercilessly began suffocate his own will, he managed to whisper with his deep and broken voice:

“Is... Asra safe?”

"Yessss... For now"

(part 3/3 to be done yet)

2, 5, 30 and 32 if that's not too much for Kavae? 👀

Not at all! Thank you for the asks! 

2. how easily does your oc make friends?

Kavae makes acquaintances easily, a shy demeanor, people pleasing attitude, and warm softness of her general air; it’s easy to like her. (which she’s fine with; helps keep the lonely away) 

Making friends though, she makes those a little more slowly.

Kavae while seeming wide open, is severely reserved when sharing her own vulnerabilities. But for people like Portia, eager and genuine in their warmth; they shouldn’t feel it taking too long at all. 

5. is your oc imaginative or more down-to-earth?

Is it odd to say both? Kavae; while practical and aware of the actual down to earth limitations and realities of the world; does strain and hope as an idealist first. 

She very often stumbles through life on chance and good luck of those ideals with brief pauses for logic (though perhaps not often enough). 

30. which highschool movie stereotype would they fit best?

The quiet one, bookworm, teachers pet, nervous nerd, wallflower, the mom friend, the gullible one, 

I could keep going;;; 

32. which one of the 7 deadly sins fit your oc more? do they see it as a flaw?

Oooo this ones’ hard due to her health. 

But I’d have to say; Sloth. When she’s hit her limit or worse feeling dejected about it; making rocks dance is easier than getting her to move again. She’s always very hard on herself when she crashes so I’d say she sees it as a flaw yes. 

Unless it’s napping in the sun time; how could that be a flaw. 

Also maybe gluttony? I mean she lives in the kitchen but feeding people, enjoying food, giving warmth and comfort doesn’t feel like a flaw to her at all.

[goth-forest-husband]

Hyped for the impending Muriel chapter, and so excited for his growth as a character. Also, a recent interaction with a friend reminded me of the exquisite power of his choice to be peaceful. Choice being the key word. A person with no ability to be dangerous can be peaceful, but only because they are helpless to do otherwise. But a person who can be dangerous has the opportunity to either exploit that power and use it against others, or deliberately not use it, except in protection of others. Peacefulness is a choice. Muriel is one of the most physically capable and (potentially) magically powerful characters in the game, and his struggle with the ethical, moral way to use that strength is at the core of his story arc. That’s so fascinating to me, and I love that his instinct is always toward gentleness. 

[here-to-squeeze]

Everything in this short animation is perfect.

The song? Yes! (Ghost is one of my favourite bands)

The fact ot suits so well to Lucio? Yup!

And also Lucio basically kinkshaming Julian.

Meet The Apprentice!  (Bio from Little Vesuvia Discord, I do not claim creation only my OC)

Basics Full name: Kavae Saab-Alamin Nicknames/aliases: Depends on outside sources, she mainly goes by her name Age and/or birthday: Mid - Late 20's Height: 5'6"

                                                           ~*~

Appearance:

Large doe-like brown/black eyes; usually wide in either nerves/surprise or some form of wonder

Thick dark brown curls/waves with a mauve brown highlight/sheen. Worn usually in a long fat braid that she sticks flowers/hairpins into

Light brown skin with golden undertones, body type comparable to Portia's; she's a soft hip set girl

Outfit: Wears a lot of soft blues, cremes, and gold/yellows (dawn thematic for clothing), usually with an apron on; you never know what you’ll need it for, and a shawl for weather control

                                                          ~*~

Favorite food: This is very hard because she enjoys cooking/food in general but stuffed bread treats around tea time are the best

Favorite drink: Adores teas & fruit drinks (cider, lemonades, juices)

Favorite flower: It feels traitorous to pick a favorite child but she's very partial to tree blossoms

                                                          ~*~

History Place of birth: [Hidden city under construction; placeholder Hesperia] Culture is a mix of Middle Eastern / Mediterranean / Asian themes, but Moroccan is firm pin and inspiration

                                                          ~*~

Family: Father: Tayyib(60's), a Oneiromanctic (Dream Divination) from a family of magicians. Loving and the caretaker of the home. Made of all heart and feelings

Mother: Nazli(60's), no nonsense heir to a textile business that's been in her family for generations, very forthright and meticulous (think Tevye & Golde from Fiddler on the Roof)

Older Sister: Rabia(40's), an absolute unit who's proudly part of her city’s guard and adores her baby sister with the intensity of a thousand suns

The amount of extended family is ridiculous but her Mother's sibling are more involved directly into the story so;

Jaleh: (F)(60's)Herbalist/Botanist who moved to Vesuvia to pursue her own dreams and ambitions; invites Kavae to move in when her[Kavae’s] health begins declining to help find any answers & aids

Zareen: (F)(50's)Scholar and Bookkeeper/Accountant who was mainly in charge of educating the family’s youngsters as they grew up, used to send Jaleh and Kavae books from time to time; until the plauge broke out and they lost contact

Bahar/Sahar: (NB)(50's) Twin Agents of trouble and chaos, left home from a young age and used to send back trinkets and gifts from their travels and adventures. They are the ones responsible for Eviathan being given to Kavae and the ones who took her to Vesuvia. Refuse to answer what they do officially but the general agreement is that it’s more than likely illegal

                                                          ~*~

Occupation: Pharmacist/Herbalist(?) mainly, but you can also buy / mix your own teas and spices for cooking. The tarot reading/clairvoyance was more a smaller side income after Kavae moved in, and became larger still when Asra did.

                                                          ~*~

Familiar: Eviathan, the stove salamander, who’s really not a familiar; more an oddity her Zizis’ [Bahar&Sahar] brought back as an egg, that hatched into a small, very unusual salamander. 

It eats most anything really, spits flame and happily napping in the furnace of her stove. Who, when necessary, can grow to be her long range method of transportation to ease the strain on herself. Also loves cuddles. 

Eviathan at it’s smallest is comparable to a bearded dragon mixed with a Salamander, and turns a bit more of a large raptor in shape when full sized.

                                                          ~*~

Backstory: Kavae grew up the youngest to a happy chaotic mass of family. She had a minor weak constitution and would soak in the town hot springs often, but by the time she was 14 it was beginning to cause her serious issues. 

Wanting to learn about her condition and find ways to improve her quality of life, she moved to Vesuvia to live with her Aunt. Who began teaching her the healing arts, magic and herbology. Which after over a decade of research and study, turned into a love of said crafts and wanting to help others.

She meets Asra and Muriel, others who become very dear friends, to her at least. Overall she's a very gentle, if not somewhat reckless, with giving heart but unafraid to speak her mind. 

...Then the plague happens, and those traits becomes a major rift point between her and Asra. If she'd given up on herself--she can't just leave them--FINE! Go then! 

For a time she tried to assist plague doctors as best she could, but for her, her Aunt, Muriel, her neighbors--well, the rest is history I suppose. 

After the resurrection, she's far more soft-spoken, skittish, polite to a fault, and nearly finds it impossible to deny someone / say no. (E.g. She was unable to deny Nadia's requests/but wouldn't accept spoiling even when Nadia coaxed her due to the power dynamic)

As the arcs go on, she does start to become more of herself again, as she was and forever will be; made entirely out of gut instincts and a bleeding heart.

                                                          ~*~

Personality Likes: A N I M A L S, Gardening/Flora, Cooking/Food, Reading, Little wonders(watching the sun come up, etc), little simple trinkets&jewelry, sweet things 

Dislikes: Wearing herself out, Being lonely, feeling out of control/under someone else power, bullies, Being scared/made to cry, etc. 

Fears: Being helpless/unable to help others or failure, True loneliness/being isolated, Pain, Unknown/Vague threats in her surroundings

Ambitions/ideals: High quality of life; pain/ache/fatigue free, Happy friends, A well-stocked kitchen able to feed them all, A garden like Portia’s & to keep a small farm of animals (hens, goats etc,) for fresh produce of both kinds, Access to Nadia’s library or any library to learn and read, Simplistic Domesticity really, a happy simple life with her loved ones. 

Hobbies: She dabbles in textile crafts (Loom weaving, sewing, spinning, etc,) when she’s unable to be as mobile as she’d like. But on good day’s you can find her outside happily gardening in the dirt or gathering in the woods, or in the kitchen putting it all to use. Tho she’ll never turn down a good book or shy away from keeping the books.  

Main Love interest: Muriel (Prior to which was Asra) 

Friends: She likes almost everyone she meets, or at least tries to, but here’s the main plethora; 

F A U S T,

Asra,

Portia,

Muriel,

Selasi,

Nadia (after extreme warming up to and post working for her),

Julian (after the spooking/theatrics wane and she sees he needs help) 

Enemies: Doesn't really do enemies, but if your being cruel she's gonna do something about it...well she's certainly gonna try

                                                          ~*~

Random HC’s & Trivia 

Wears half moon glasses when she does book work/textile projects because she's farsighted

Still deals with her health condition as Asra wasn't aware of it and now the research has to be redone

The necklace Asra wears used to be Kavae's and she still wears the matching earrings
