On that note tho, LET ME TALK ABOUT MY AWESOME NEW AVI, which is only a part of a larger art piece created by the amazing @boutsoftheblind!!!! I hadn’t really introduced her much yet over here, but the art is of my PSO2 OC, Thelyss Saefir. I have a lot of writing to do about her in the future, which I may or may not do here, but for now let me just share the art and a small description of who Thelyss is.
Thelyss is a member of the treasured clan of the Saefir family, Defenders of her home planet of Motavia. She was always unhappy just sticking to defending her own planet, so she decided to join ARKS to try and become something bigger than what she could be in Motavia. Along the way, she lost the meaning of defending that she had learned about back home. She focused too much on the academics of it and optimizing her results, on becoming “The Best” at defeating Dark Falz, without thinking about the human aspect of it. A chance encounter with an older ARKS during her first mission on Naverius would remind her of this, and while tragedy struck leaving her first friend as nothing but a bunch of Photons floating through the sky, She took the cane/rifle that belonged to them and vowed to become the kindest ARKS ever instead.
Thelyss went through many adventures with her Oracle pals. But one day something strange happened. She woke up inside a capsule at a cliff on a seaside, awoken by two girls, named Aina and Mannon. Thelyss learned that it had been over a thousand years and she was now in a planet called Halpha, the current base of operations for ARKS. She didn’t know how she ended up here. But she was determined to not lose herself, and to continue her mission of kindness, particularly with her new friends.
A few facts about her:
She wears a warm outfit most of the time because Motavia is a very warm planet, and she has never quite gotten used to the temperature in even barely colder parts of the universe
She does however tend to use lighter clothing in warmer areas, and really enjoys the style of clothing used in Retem
While she is very peppy and tries to keep a positive outlook a lot of the time, she does have a quick fuse and can quickly get angry if things don’t go her way.
She’s a huge fan of Quna and believes that, if she wasn’t a member of ARKS, she’d have become a pop star too.
Despite this, she actually has never had formal vocal training of any kind and refuses to sing in front of others.
She once created a huge commotion in the Oracle casino over losing a year’s worth of savings at the Rappy Slots. Which resulted in her having to pay off three broken machines with a month’s work as a casino attendant.
