I can draw more body and hair types now so I thought I'd give it a go. These are just the concepts, I'll see if I can do the illustration they're attached to later.

I couldn’t get all my concept details onto the skirt panel (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Here is Tuk, Oanartchai Huhyç (Door God of Death). Tuk would use he/him but (like the other Door Gods) is referred to as It / Its.

The fun thing about the Door Gods is prior to becoming one they’re just Some Guy. The gods are, generally, just people who’ve been passed a massive well of power. The younger ones have (the equivalent of) a social security number. They do taxes. Etc.

Tuk is on the younger end of the spectrum at only 34 years old. Prior to becoming a God, Tuk was a (funerary priest). They carve the death masks, wrap the bodies, and say the prayers before the body is sent down river. Being so close to Death, it was a simple leap to being chosen by the prior God. And Tuk still does Funerary Rites. It still owns the shop. Pays taxes, etc. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Tuk’s powers are very similar to Ami’s (Door God of Life) in that It’s able to manipulate spiritual energy. While Ami tends to give Life, Tuk tends to send life on its way. But growth and decay are two sides of the same coin, and ultimately they do the same things.

Wow had a lot of fun with the hat :) It’s a wide brim fringed hat, but the brim is a disk set on top of a sort of pillbox hat, rather than at the base. (Imagine a round mortarboard). The jacket was the hard part bc of the high side slit and the split front 😔

So, I had to actually rename this character just bc some points didn’t line up. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Essentially, Ijanemanj (chaos) is actually supposed to be a fusion of two other doors: fear and wrath. BUT. The names listed (Ijan and Manj respectively) are their names and not their actual Door, and merging the names felt weird so behold:

Ah’ho: Oanartchai Koayç (Ah’ho,: Door God of Chaos). Ah’ho would use she/her referring to themselves but like all gods, is referred to by others as It.

Ah’ho is about a hundred years old. At first It was servant to Ijan (God of Fear) and later became servant to Manj (God of Wrath). With their combined powers Ah’ho sought to make Its own door and make their fear everyone else’s problem.

While in excess fear and wrath are bad things, in moderation they are important driving forces and a normal part of existence. Both Ijan and Manj were content to live relatively passive lives, as Gods are wont to do. But Ah’ho has bigger ideas. It has schemes and plans laid out over the decades and seeks to make the world feel the same pain It once felt.

Ah’ho is the surname, no first name. (It / Its, 121, 5’8”)

After a month off to vibe and do some world building I’m back on my shit. Here’s the first of the Gods 💪

Ami is the Oanartchai Upaizhyç (Door God of Life). As the cultural motifs for life were water and hair, I tried to include that in the revamp with the color scheme, the silhouette, and ofc the very long hair.

While Ami would use she/her pronouns, everyone else would refer to Ami as It. Culturally, the gods are less human and “more in tune with nature” and so are considered things and not necessarily people. (Though they are still treated with respect).

Ami is one of the older Oanartchai, at over 250 years old. While the Door Gods do tend to live very long lives, Ami is still one of the longer lived. This may stem from the ability granted by Its door. The Door of Life allows Ami to manipulate soul energy, even the microscopic energy of rocks.

Having been alive so long, however, Ami is a bit out of touch with Its “humanity” and can be cruel or kind seemingly at random. Ami is also blind. While It can sense soul energy, It isn’t capable of actually seeing it.

Ami is It’s surname, the first name was lost to time. (It / Its, 263, 5’7”)

Final one: Rey! Off duty soldier who hasn’t had the time to change out their uniform before shit starts getting weird.

Trying to adapt the layout of their clothes to a “tactical” style was an adventure.

Syll! So Syll was already a revamp that combined two older characters (Syll 1.0 and Jase in green) so I figured I’d bring back the green for Syll 3.0! And they’re a florist, obviously.

Reginald, Now Echaqai! (The ch is pronounced like the ch in Chanukah).

Echa lives in a Home (orphanage) with their younger brother Mikk. Echa’s in the last year of (their country’s equivalent of) high school and is studying to become an architect

Two for the price of one! Finni and their court servant / guard Drosscen! Finni is the only non-magical monarch in the region and so acquired Drosscen, a Puyuvi (manufactured soul) similar to Russ’ki.

Finni is the monarch of Yukado. The country has been influenced in recent years by western styles and media.

Finni Adevi (they/them, 37, 5’4”)

I actually sketched Nat yesterday but after work and physio I was just too tired to do a full drawing 😔.

Nat’s a phone farmer and had also been actively going through gender and pronoun things before settling into a non-binary identity (MtFtNB)

Here’s Gack’et!

They’re the leader of a traveling troupe (a bit like a circus but not quite) and I thought, once again, they should look the part. Big elaborate dances is one of their main selling points, so ofc he needed a more flowy costume.

Gak’et Malahvi (They/Him, 37, 5’11”)
