Screenshot edit.

An idea I've been thinking about for the eye Ardjin lost. Couldn't decide what color to use for the "pupil" of his biotech eyeball, so a small animated edit is what happened aaa

I haven't written anything in a long long while, but today I was in the mood to type something.

Here's a peek. Excuse my typos and errors, I just typed this on the spot and I plan to go over it before posting the finished version.

It involves High Councillor Flax and Councillor Ardjin. It's really more brainstorming for me than anything.

--

He paused, sensing a presence before gazing toward the large window overlooking the mountains beyond Rata Sum. A silhouette was standing there, back turned to him.

Flax felt his panic rising for a moment. An assassin? No, the intruder wouldn’t be standing in plain sight like this. As he stared at the dark figure, he recognized the posture: a rather tall, lanky Asura who stood with great pride. He breathed a sigh of relief.

“Councillor Ardjin,” Flax finally spoke up. The other Asura didn’t speak, only lifting a glass of wine in acknowledgment. “You’re usually better at announcing your visits.”

At that, Ardjin chuckled lightly. “I must’ve forgotten to send word. Apologies, my friend.”

Flax reached over to the panel by the door and activated the low lights, which dimly lit his living space with a warm orange hue. He could make out Ardjin’s features now.

The pristine white attire he always wore, the graying hair tied back neatly at the nape of his neck, his long ears tattered and torn from the accident. Flax had overseen to Ardjin’s injuries and medical care after an accident. He didn’t know what accident had occurred, but there were unsavory rumors surrounding the incident. He pushed those thoughts aside as he approached the other Asura.

“What’s the reason for this visit?” he asked, moving to the couch and taking a seat. Ardjin turned to face the High Councillor and Flax’s brows furrowed.

The medics did the best they could with Ardjin’s injuries, but the man had lost his left eye. His eye was replaced with a bio-mechanical one, which was dark in his socket while the pupil was faintly glowing. Overall, Ardjin had recovered relatively well with barely a scar on his body. Yet, his charming smile was missing, replaced with a stern and tired expression.

(And that's it for now. Will post the finished version in the future)

Having an au with my friend where Ardjin is starting to feel regret and remorse for what he's done to Raennyn, and my friend's ratshark (Ardjin's lover in this au) is watching this man struggle to acknowledge Rae as a person, let alone his own son.

It's funny and entertaining writing Ardjin in this light cus the more he sees Raennyn being a person with interests and hobbies, the more he feels like shit. He wants to deny his wrong-doings so badly, but he can't. And thanks to Ardjin's lover trying to get Ardjin to start somewhere with Rae in terms of treating Rae like a living individual rather than a tool, it's throwing my old ratshark into a moral crisis 😂

@herald-of-aurene asjdk yeah Zyffre's like the shortest Asura on my roster, and Ardjin is one of my tallest. Even in story, Zyffre's supposed to be shorter than your average Asura, whereas Ardjin is unusually tall for an Asura. Zyffre definitely didn't inherit Ardjin's height 😂

I like to imagine that Dessa used to make fun of Ardjin's height when they were kids cus Ardjin was taller than the average Progeny. It made him rather self-conscious growing into his pre-teen years but then he met Flax and that all changed and Ardjin built his confidence as he grew older. Now he uses his tall stature to add to his imposing personality over other Asura.

In my story, Ardjin is very tall for an Asura. And Raennyn inherited Ardjin's height.

But then there's Zyffre who's like the smallest mofo out of all my Asura, like bro neither of your parents were short what happened 😂

Ardjin in his Arcane Councillor and Inquest Oversser appearances, with about a 20yr difference.

He's pushing 60-70yrs of age by the time SotO happens. Old ratshark.
