Argentine painter Fabian Perez (born 1967) paints in a moody, cinematic style that feels both intimate and theatrical. His work often focuses on dancers, musicians, lovers, and late-night urban scenes, all rendered with dramatic contrasts of light and shadow that perfectly capture the romance and sensuality of Buenos Aires. His brushwork is loose yet deliberate, allowing forms to dissolve into atmosphere while keeping the emotional core sharp and expressive. His palette leans toward warm ambers, deep reds, velvety blacks, and smoky blues, creating a sense of mystery and eroticism.

His paintings feel like fleeting moments captured in tango clubs or quiet streets, where gesture, posture, and light reveal the inner life of his subjects.

For combat focused Mcs, how far in the power levels do you see them reach for that specific archetype.

From the asks it seems it goes Normal-Powerful-Cultist-Living God/Spiders-Gods/Wardens is that right?

I suppose for Faded Glory it's a spoiler and Fatebringer does not fight often. So how about Voidlight,Truthlight and Keybell with Heimos magic training.

I don't know. That depends on your MC. How much are they truly dedicating themselves to it? Are they willing to approach other Wardens to gain extra knowledge that their own Warden may not have? What kinds of magic are they hoping to learn? What kinds of relationships does your MCs have with other Wardens, if any?

This falls firmly into player hands rather than my own.

The basic scale is: novice, adept, journeyman, expert, master, grandmaster, greatmaster (Living God Status. Only Spiders at at this level in modern day), deity (Wardens & Gods).

Zahir of Verdayne is a Master mage. The Faded Glory, at the start of their story in GSLH, is an Expert mage. Meanwhile the Voidlight is only an Adept at the beginning of Pario.

Do note that these jumps aren't equal. They're rather big with some (Greatmaster to Deity for example) being borderline impossible. Just getting to Master Mage means you are at the height of your craft with few rivals in the mortal world. Grandmasters are only higher because they more actively pursue knowledge and experience in comparison, and of course, Greatmasters dedicate their entire lives to their goals. That's the big separator. Not innate power - effort. Even someone with dog shit mana can become a Master mage if they have the drive for it.

Which is why I can't tell you what each MC would become. Because each of you have different interpretations and plans for your characters once the credits roll.

“Faded Glory” is canceled, and I’ve removed myself from authorship.

I will not be going into details, but I’m just as disappointed as I’m sure some of you might be. I’m not sure if the co-author will continue or orphan the piece, but if you want updates, you will want to check AO3 because I have removed myself from it entirely.

Thank you and I’m sorry. I understand if you unfollow me for not giving you enough content.

Emma, 19

“I’m wearing a thrifted nightgown over my favorite Faded Glory low rise jeans and platform Crocs. The jacket is upcycled jeans. My outfits always express what I am feeling at that given moment. It is what comes most naturally to me because emotional expression is really important to me. I get obsessed with different color combos for periods of time, but I've always loved mixing dark and bright colors and combining textures. It just satisfies me in a way nothing else does. The 80s comes through the most, I think, I feel like i look like an 80s child sometimes. My friends have called me a "stripper grandma" in the past.”
