Home #1 - Auraugust

Kugane, merchant hub of Hingashi a massive city filled to the brim with people from all walks of life. Going about their business as the sun shone down brightly upon them, a home to many.

However it was not home to the blue robed Au Ra that walked the streets of the Kogane Dori Marketplace. Her dark scales identifying her as a xaela, though her skin pale as the moon light marked her as a bit unusual even for them. Her walk was not one of confidence, moving slowly and shrinking away from any group she saw, unsure of how to interact with these people in this alien place.

Yesuntei's home was the Azime Steppe with the nocturnal Kagon Tribe, well it had been her home. For now she had no home exiled as she was from her tribe. Walking in the daylight like a sinner, though she wore a full length robe and wide brimmed hat to hide herself from the sun's light.

Although she had chosen to pursue life instead of wallowing in despair, she still didn't know how she should do that. Her wanderings of the roads along with a boat across the Ruby Sea had slowly but surely led her to Kugane. And she was all alone with no friends or family to help guide the young adult who had only ever known life on the Steppe.

Despite this, she did feel as if she was being drawn somewhere, where that was she didn't know. BUt every since she'd found the crystal. Yesuntei reached into a pouch and pulled a lightning aspected crystal from the leather. Gazing down at it she could still hear the words that'd resonated when she'd first discovered it, or it had discovered her.

"Hear. Feel. Think."

Ever since then Yesuntei had felt as if she was being tugged elsewhere, away from the steppe, into Kugane, but she still didn't feel like she belonged. and so she kept moving. She needed to go across the sea.

Despite how unsure she was about how she was going to get through life alone, no money, no tribe, she still felt hopeful. A small part of her wondered if maybe, Nhaama was leading her to a new Home. One where she could once again be a part of a family, that could help her understand how life worked beyond the Steppe.

Home…it had to be across the ocean, in Eorzea.

So first prompt! Scales

I’ve envisioned that the most visible scars Art’imis carried back from the First were on her scales. When the light poisoning started to become to much her scales began to turn into an organic gold. Which has never completely reversed.

I literally printed out a screenshot of the side of my lizard girl’s neck and then used carbon paper because I was more interested in doing a color study than drawing.

AURAUGUST DAY 1: SCALES

Born with unusual scales even for an Au Ra, Shuri once held a deep-seated insecurity that she could be considered “cursed” as she was mostly an outcast among other Angura children due to her scales’ appearance. However, as she got older, Shuri learned to take pride in how unique her scales made her (and she quite enjoys having others guess which of the sister clans she is a member of and they are often wrong).

Auragust Day 10: Colour

From the journal of Kaily Rootsap: There’s been a large influx of Au ra in Gridania lately, not sure why since it’s not a merchant city like Ul’dah, frequented by those of all races and vocations, nor is it a sea port like Limsa Lominsa, home to seafarers and a first stop for many refugees. At any rate, one thing I have noticed is that they have a wide diversity of colours to their skin, I have sketched a couple here but this barely scratches the surface, I know these two personally and they won’t mind.

The one on the left is Narumi Obinata, she and Lady Yugiri are very similar in appearance, I have occasionally mixed them up when particularly exhausted, however Narumi’s orange hair means it doesn’t happen often.

The one on the right is named Kiyonori Fuukiki, though I most often address him as Private Fuukiki. I sometimes see him around the Adder’s Nest, often in the company of an Elezen, they are both summoners by trade. His deep red skin makes him easy to find, useful for someone of my stature.

au ra august day 5 ⋆ travel

Stars flicker and flock to you. Before such gathered light, even the secrets of the gods may be laid bare. Some are fated to rise in grace and glory. Others to falter and fade, though not from memory. Both will be your strength and salvation come the end. Cherish the stars and the light they bring you in the dark. For you are a traveler, are you not?
