where is Rayna's life ztkey sfory story sorry it gets hard to type wjen im excited and autocorrect doesn't know what i mean

AdhFjzfgjx hi Fish :D sorry it took me a hot second but the Rayna lore currently lives in like 4 documents. 10 messages and my mind lmao.

One day I'm gonna have time and just start a webcomic or some shit -

Anyway Rayna is one of my oldest OCs and very much a product of young baby jo looking at all her favorite character tropes and wondering why I couldn't have more women who fit into them. So she's very angry and reluctant to let people get close to her and keeps getting dragged into situations where people care about her and she starts to care about them lol

But! Lore! Rayna is a mercenary captain who's tragic backstory includes the death of her husband and the abduction and supposed killing of her young daughter.

Through a series of misfortunes that vary depending on the document I'm in Rayna ends up leader of a mercenary company that is sometimes directly in service of a neighboring king and sometimes not. Which is where Meja joins and quickly rises through the ranks to become one of Raynas most trusted lieutenants. Meja falls in love with Rayna but Rayna is rather single minded because about that time she comes across an opportunity for vengeance/redemption against those who killed her family.

There's a fair amount of drama, in the actual plot that ensues including at one point Rayna dismissing Meja from the company but the details again are different depending on which version I'm looking at. But eventually they reunite (Rayna finds out Meja is in danger and goes 'oh shit like the only person still alive who cares about me') and Rayna gets to have her 'Oh. Oh.' moment as she and Meja fight off their opponents and then get to be old ladies in love (I picture them being in their mid fifties by this point which isn't super old but it's old for them to be doing what they're doing lol)

Suddenly remembered Ysalamiri exist so here are Some beasties

With special guest Vornskyrs because force sensitive dogs are fun

The ysalamiri are reffed off of pics of Pacific and Chinese giant salamanders except for their feet which I reffed off a black tree monitor (due to Ysalamiri spending most of their lives in trees). Most legends art has them be amber in colour. I definitely landed more in banana territory tho.

The vornskyrs I didn't have any real ref for I just looked at some of the legends art and then did my own thing.

ID in alt text and under the cut :)

ID

A page of digital paintings of Ysalamiri drawn as yellow dappled salamander-like creatures with long toes and two sets of bright green eyes. Three of the drawings are different angles of the ysalamiri in trees while one is a head shot of the animal with it's mouth open showing its small sharp teeth.

There are also two drawings of Vornskyrs, red/brown doglike creatures with long pointed ears and a whip like barbed tail. In one drawing the vornskyr is standing still looking alertly to one side while in the other it is facing 3/4s towards the viewer and has a dead Ysalamiri in its mouth. A note beside that drawing reads: 'predation risk'

The last drawing is one of Grand Admiral Thrawn a blue skinned, red eyed Chiss man, who is gesturing offhandedly and has a Ysalamiri draped around his neck.

"There's a thousand miles of chain, reminding me of bad things, rattling like a snake" - Thousand Miles of Chain - William Prince

Been listening to the album Further From the Country on repeat so have this lyric doodle that got out of hand.

A series of images in Black and Red with lyrics from Thousand Miles of Chain by William Prince.

first image is a pistol lying on a table, then another of it being held in a hand with an explosion of fire in front of it. Lyrics read: My gun she is tired, from singin' Late the night before.

Third image The silhouette of a hand hovering over a pistol in a holster with another person in the background, Lyrics read: An emboldened young man chose to test me, so I layed him on the floor.

Fourth image: A night sky with a freshly dug grave in the foreground, Lyrics: Didn't think about his mother, I don't even know his name.

Last image: The silhouette of a person in a long coat and a wide-brimmed hat standing in front of a grave with chains that gradient from Black to Red as they snake away to the bottom of the image. Lyrics: Now he's just another link in a thousand miles of chain.
