Less of a question, and more of an invitation to ramble: What are Flamefiends? Can you give us the rundown on them?
Flamefiends are a race of cthonic, flame-wreathed ponies that were my first foray into an “original” species of pony, early in my MLP fandom artist career. They were born of a couple of character skins for the Mine Little Pony Minecraft mod. Because Taller Half said something along the lines of that if he was going to play Minecraft with a pony shaped player model, then it was going to be a hellhorse model nightmare. (Bless him, he tried to dive into ponydom with me. xD) I matched his orange flamed one (whom I later named Flashpoint) with my blue flamed one, who would later become Coldfire. c:
Since then they gained a king, Abyssal Void, who I originally modeled a little off WoW’s Deathwing but in purple. He lost the metal jaw thing because retrospect said that was not him. He then assumed the role of the Warden of Tartarus and took the title of “lord” over “king”, and then I didn’t hear from Coldfire for years regarding any kind of character development. Just design upgrades and stylistic upgrades.
I concepted a species sheet but never finished it, which detailed their EUP parallels and what they were called. Earth = Mundane, Unicorn = Eldritch, and Pegasus = Ascendant. It also covered some uncommon traits and deviations from the standard ‘Fiend design.
Really I need to get around to redoing that racial overview of them. Lol They’ve found a place in a TTRPG setting I’m brewing with Raeligath. They’re NPC only, not a playable race. Two more named 'Fiends have arisen as a result, giving me General Felfire and her subordinate, Commander Pyroclast. Canonically, they will always reside in ZenVerse Equestria, where they warden Tartarus, push back the occasional ultra-feral Clawback, and strike the odd bargain with adventurous (lawful) vamponies. :D
