PSA .

dropping this blog for now & later archiving it ( just not doing it rn to make a sideblog at some point bcs i don't wanna lose the url ) but my revamped wol will be available over on my multi @soulgathered .

[starsfreckled]

okay here is what i have so far about the new backstory etc ... with how different this muse might become I rlly should probably move blog... but anyway :

amaya was raised by dragons and goes by the name "meya".

in their verse, au ra are descendants of dragons.

their parents were from one of the ra.en clans living in the mountains where they lived with draconic beings.

when garlem.ald took over do.ma, their parents fled to eor.zea, eventually ending up in the dravani.an forelands. however, similarly to sid's family, meya's parents are not welcomed by the ishgar.dians - their father, badly hurts, manages to flee into the woods where a dragon takes pity on them & takes the baby from the dying man.

their echo was already awaken by ven.at when meya was just a newborn but due to the closeness to the dragons it seems to strengthen the echo and it awakes a.zem.

aze.m appears as a shade to meya in their dreams & gives them instruction on how to learn magic.

it is aze.m that makes meya leave the forest - they travel to the shroud where they become involved with the sci.ons.

it wouldn't be until s.tb that they learn that their birthname is actually amaya - not that it changes much in how they call themselves.

az.em keeps a lot from them as to not overwhelm them.

they would still undergo a lot of physical changes during the story but at least now i have an excuse why they become more dragon like,,,

i think i have finally re-worked amaya in full but now the question is do i just re-write everything here, move blog or just put amaya on my multi & call it a day ? cause i fully re-worked their backstory & stuff, even the name. so i feel like a fresh start would be best.

I am legit upset because I am sorry?? that is not even remotely the same face. like cool awesome, the reasons I picked f2 over others were all erased. I never really...liked face 1 much, it was a bit too doll-ish for me. even though I adore the horns. but I picked f2 for the face ( horns had to grow on me, now I love the big fishy horns !) & now f2 is just a copy of 1...

[starsfreckled]

does it make sense when i say i do wanna be on here & write but i also wanna re-work amaya from the ground up & i also always sigh realizing once DT hits it will be a waiting game for all the mods to update & having to rework their entire body..... & that just. makes me tired.

in this house we don't trust wols with technology........

[amaurotbloomed]

" don't ask me. i don't even know what it is. "

a hand waves away some of the smoke that steadily grows more plentiful until he gives up and dismisses the thought. he won't tell amaya that out of the screws and bolts on the floor, he's lost track of a few he had previously picked up and looked at, only to place them down somewhere else, but certainly it wouldn't be too much of a problem. cid has plenty of those lying about!

" may i help dismantle it though? or watch, at the very least. i'd like to get a better idea of this sort of thing. "

[starsfreckled]

"how?! aren't you the proper world hopper between us? honestly, you of all people should understand technology" they stare down at the mess they made. it's beeping now which is somewhat annoying so they simply pick the device up, turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.

at some point they'll figure out where exactly the noise is coming from and then they can rip it out. that should work just fine.

"sure. but don't break it, or cid is going to throw us out" again. technically both of them did not even have permission to be here without supervision. something about warrior of lights using their weapons before their brains to solve anything... "think we should call theo?"

[starsfreckled]

sitting there with their legs crossed and some old tanktop they found at the bottom of their travel bag, their tail gently whacks against the floor as they try to take apart some ( probably ) harmless garlean tech they found. screws and bolts lay strewn around them, showing perhaps a concerning amount of progress in how far they've come.

"oh... I don't think that part's supposed to smoke. eh ! it probably won't explode too badly, right?"

[starsfreckled]

made (human) amaya in the si/ms 4 which reminded me that they are. very cute looking. adorbs. full on smol round shojo protag... until they open their mouth & the scio.ns have to hold them back bcs they snapped & are yelling at a noble that "haven't met dirt so ugly not only is their mother ashamed of having them, their mother regrets even being born because now she's tied to someone who looks & behaves like rotten egg thrown up by a drunkard outside a shabby tavern!!"

anyway. human amaya under the cut,,

[starsfreckled]

kinda thinking about just re-doing amaya. backstory & all. it feels a bit weird having RPed them for so long but i was soso focused on being super canon compliant because my first fc was very strict. so now i feel like...what if i just. do what i actually want.

[starsfreckled]

Small bird on the head. Cheep.

"hello there little friend" they raise their hand for the starbird to hop onto it before pressing a little kiss to meteion's head "you're gonna stay here for a little bit?"

haurchefant, wearing the cheekiest grin as he dips amaya and kisses their forehead. get appreciated loser

they laugh, hands clinging to his shoulders before returning the favor with a kiss to his cheek. get appreciated back !

"what is the occasion? not that I am complaining 'bout it!"

appreciate a dragon ! ( accepting ) // @aetheryic .

[starsfreckled]

it's appreciate dragon's day so pls appreciate this mini dragon!!

[starsfreckled]

done with pretty much all the new content i could do ( msq, hildi, tribal & great endeavor ! )

[starsfreckled]

apparently i never posted on this blog how heavily amaya's eyes change during the story so gotta do it now .

their original eyes - blue, normal looking. vibrant & usually with a fond or mischievous gaze, later cocky & confident because they really buy into the whole hero thing . their scales also have the usual more bone-y color that raen tend to have.

the dark circles start appearing shortly after the banquet & grow more intense as time goes on - their eyes change into a draconic look after 3.3 & their scales brighten too after too much exposure to a great wyrm's eye.

the dark circles stay until after 5.0 - after that their eyelashes turn white & they gain their fangs since the light corruption nearly turned them into a beast. but after managing to work through some stuff & gain a healthier mindset their dark circles at least disappear

"I see you've taken up a new field of study," Papalymo snorted, nodding to the great sword strapped to the Warrior of Light's back. In truth, he was a little more than concerned when he first saw them draw such a different type of weapon. Surely things had changed since the events at the Bloody Banquet, but he sensed there was more to this. He would keep his inquiries light, however. "Was conjury not exciting enough for you, then?"

they freeze on the spot, clearly startled by the question. maybe because they did not have to explain before - alphinaud had filled most people in ( quietly, in hushed tones as if speaking out loud the truth would change something ).

"I can't cast anymore." it's strange to finally admit it. their conjury had been their everything - it had been the way they defeated gaius, how they became known as the warrior of light. "it started earlier but..."

blue eyes look down at their hand - for a moment the shimmer of a cure spell appears but dies back down. "I can cast fine on myself in battle or use some of the offensive spells but the moment I try to heal someone else... it seems to recoil" it started after the banquet, but they ignored the flickers in their spells, kept their smile, kept going.

sometimes after haurchefant's death and estinien's transformation into nidhogg they found themselves unable to heal others. "alphinaud already told the others so I won't hide it from you - even if the kid tries to keep his spirits about it and saying there surely is a way to fix it. not that we got the time" they give a quiet dry laugh - the vibrant hero from the beginning of their journey has made way for someone more practical and sarcastic.

"personally I don't mind. the sword gets my work done too and that's what counts. besides when it comes to magic we got you, y'shtola and urianger to turn to for questions. I can't compete with sharlayan scholars anyway"
