posted this to forums with no replies LOL but had an idea
What if nests had equippable vistas? Or - different skins depending on where in a domain you live? My clan is near The Source in Lightning - so of course, any electrical discharge produced by eggs gets rerouted for experimental purposes.
In a richer locale like our capitol the Turrets of Goldenspire, eggs are kept in luxurious rooms - fancy tiles, planters, etc. Also, as the lairs get progressively more affluent their nests similarly have more sophisticated/elegant methods of static dissolution.
(We are changing their names, designs, and personalities for our game and obvious reasons)
Description/Dev log from badn3wzpal:
I originally wanted to keep them the same, but due to lore updates and the lore not being compatible, I wanted to change their lore and designs.
Artful's backstory concept:
Raphaël moreau (mostly known as Artful by the Magical Industry) is a famous magician that writes books sometimes. His magic allows him to create illusions in which he uses as effects or backup "Robloxians" in his shows. His shows are very magical for young robloxians due to his illusions being entirely based off of creativity, imagination, and memories that shows children true happiness through magic. And while his magic shows are for children... his book writing isn't. He goes by an anonymous name when he writes his books and he makes them for every freak like him who self indulges in the crap that he writes. When Raphaël was younger, he was raised in a magically gifted family known for their fights for "Magic Acceptance" in Robloxia. When artful was younger, he originally wanted to be like his mom, who was a professor in magical studies, and wanted to be just like her.... that was until she died from him. And even though he stuck to magic, he had a new idea of it; and the idea was "Encourage creativity with happiness and dreams."... and he did just that. When he became an adult he got his magical use license and imeadantly started his shows. At first it was a struggle, but the more he remembered his goal the more he kept going. In the end he became a single preformer and has been ever so slowly reaching for his goals.
Presuer backstory concept (NOT FINISHED!):
Presuer, also known as ███████ was a child without a home, he was never loved, never cared for, always seen as a danger to others. He doesn't remember why this happened, he doesn't remember why he looks like this, he doesn't remember anything except for the taste of blood, meat, bones, and organs... that is a taste that he'll never forget. He was eventually captured by police at the age of 16 after attacking and mauling his bully, he would then be put into a mental ward/prison for a few years before being freed and getting an ankle monitor and shock collar to prevent his attacks. it had been a cycle for years until he met Artful. Even though they only talked for a few minutes, those conversations meant everything to him; they then became friends, having more talks and hanging out more; then they had a situationship that hasn't ended yet.
Little idea I'm playing around with for the Galaxy Girl art style and art works. Haven't really implemented it yet it's just a concept. Idk I kind of like it it's kind of fun.
In summary cuz this was described a little vaguely the idea is:
Children only have eyelashes when they are being mature or adult. (Often in ways they shouldn't have to be).
Adults always have lashes but when they allow themselves to be silly or embrace their inner child the lashes disappear.
It's just a concept idk if I'll do it or not but if I did what do you think? :)
“Lynx, have you ever wondered what happened to the Dawnbreaker and Duskbreaker,” Elise asked the green Elysian.
“You mean the blades from legend? Weren’t they wiped out with the Aurorans?”
“No.“ Elise paused for a few beats. “Marigold tasked me with camouflaging them, to keep them away from Phantom.” She held out her hand, a small grin appearing on her face. “Do you still have my sword?”
Pulling the weapon off of his back, Lynx placed the handle into her palm, before she gripped onto it. She then raised it skyward, the blade splitting to reveal a beam of energy. However, it was more powerful than normal. The gaps in the weapon began to glow as the guard shone brightly.
“Adeline, awaken,” Elise called out dramatically. On cue, the ELYS-MK I flashed white for a moment before it morphed into a more traditional sword, retaining it’s grayish green and purple color palette. The guard was made up of two wings, one of an angel, and one of a dragon. She then pointed it at Lynx, her grin showing more clearly.
“You mean, all this time, I’ve had the Dawnbreaker?”
“Yep, I just needed to make sure you were the right guy for the job of taking out Phantom for good.” She flipped the Dawnbreaker so she was holding it backhand, before tossing it to Lynx. “Everything I’ve had you do, every bit of hell I put you through, was to prepare you. ... Except for my attitude, though. I just do it because it amuses me.”
“Typical.” The new wielder of the Dawnbreaker rolled his eyes, though he couldn’t hide his own grin. Though his expression contorted into a frown as he stared into the blade of his weapon’s new form. “But, what about the part about needing Meli’s powers to be able to use Adeline’s full power?” Elise just laughed for a moment at the question.
“Part of me needing to camouflage the Space-time Weapons was also hiding the mark of Meli’s host. But now that the Dawnbreaker has been reawakened...” She went around behind Lynx, pulling up the back of his shirt and jacket to reveal the symbol of the half-dragon bloodline. “Boom. Lynx Atri, you’ve inherited the power of the Kotori family.” He turned to try and look at the mark, though his vision was blocked by his clothing and inability to turn his head completely around, before he let out a sigh.
“I’ll look at it in a mirror when I get the chance.” Elise let go of his shirt and jacket, letting the garments fall back to their natural positions. “Think I’ll end up being able to get wings and horns like Emily? Or maybe I’ll be able to...”
... ‘Telling him this early was probably a mistake,’ Emily thought to herself as she just began walking off, with her trainee trailing behind her as he listed off all the possible things he could do now that he had the powers of the Spirit Dragon.
Sooo, Nyx is one of my longest standing main OCs (if not THE longest, since spring 2022)
The marks on them are because they have severe burns (third degree) along their face, left shoulder & back due to an attack by a hunter (cited under the cut). Along with other forms of scars from that same attack. In awhile I'll try to take the time to explain them overall as a character besides the lore.
Under the cut! Is some lore, please be aware that this is roughly written & really REALLY in need of better citations, better research, & overall more time & care for crafting the full thing (since, ironically, despite being my oldest OC & being one I loved very dearly, their lore was never fully fleshed out because... I wasn't very good at writing back then! The lore below is a concept I've had since summer 2025 when I was a little better at writing but I'd argue it still needs a lot of fixing.
If anyone has any advice I'd love to hear but please keep it constructive, I will probably just not listen to you otherwise.
Nyx is this sort of creature that is primarily active at night (called Nightshades, opposite to Lightglares— both of which I have yet to make proper anatomical diagrams/justifications or explanations for) & to summarize many centuries ago, Lightglares & Nightshades lived in sort of peace with some tensions (territorial, resources, etc), but those tensions rose & culminated to civil war, & thus awhile later there was a greater war that ensued the death of an important family
The daughter of this family became so enraged by the terror a gang of Nightshades brought that she started a band against them— which then evolved to a cult against the Nightshades, that worshipped the Daughter (like an Apostle).
This cult would grow as if it were rice, becoming so vast, soon it was held up by the government.
The Daughter saw triumph, & she never hesitated to let her lies be used by those of power to eradicate what she saw as foe; laws & such were passed that ensured the genocide of Nightshades.
Many of these laws were plain inhumane & affected other beings that weren't Nightshades (such as, "If someone is too secretive, private, dresses up 'enigmatically' too often & barely goes out in the day— they are prompted for pursuit.")
Now, fast forward like much later (cuz I'm not explaining allat🚶🚶🚶✌️), The Daughter whom her cult called 'Lighthope' (I'll explain why some other day), is dead, but her soul was stuck in the Limbo, hence her still having somewhat of a presence in the real world & possessing the highest of her followers at times just to bestow messages upon her followers & continue her reign
At this point it's somewhere in the 2000... 2020..... I don't really know, me & Kevin need to make a proper timeline— anyways, in some communities there were regional laws against the hunting of Nightshades, but of course there's still a market for their organs, bones, etc... for several resource reasons. Enter Nyx; Nyx had been starving, & eventually running from a hunter for days on end with barely any of a break. The hunter attempted to burn Nyx to slow them down after already ensnaring them in bear traps (which, it did, they're a little sensitive to fire) whilst opening fire.
Eventually Nyx was disgruntled & in no condition to defend themself like they usually would (since, they are capable, but of course they had been starved for... A long time, & severely injured— Nightshades don't do well when starved from their diet that consists majorly (not entirely) of meat/blood, they need it to sustain themselves, which is something due for research for when I come to explain Nightshade anatomy), they were huddled up in a corner.
Cold, scared, they were hoping their wounds wouldn't smell too much. For every crunch of sticks & leaves they'd shudder quietly & hold themself tighter. But, their wounds did smell.
But it was to someone else, a young man wandering about in the woods (for God knows what reason), he picked up the smell of blood & burning skin, but didn't bother calling out, nervous that he might get himself into bigger problems. The young man was someone who often explored the woods & abandoned spaces, recording vlogs on a rickety CamCorder. He noticed Nyx, immediately knowing what they were due to extensive research on the various species littered across the world. He approached quietly & Nyx had almost scuttled away, if it weren't for their ankles & feet bleeding out & sore. He tried making gimself look less imposing (failing miserably) but Nyx ended up scratching him. It was deep, & the man had to bite back a loud hiss but he noticed how the creature in front of him had eyes that dilated, & they seemed to salivate. He offered his arm & Nyx came closer with great caution, eventually they latched to his arm. It hurt, their teeth sinking into him. After a moment he had to tug on the creature's hair because they had almost dried up his arm. They'd nod, inching away but looking at him with those wide eyes, viewing a civilian somewhat like a friend rather than a foe in a way they haven't been able to in a long time. The young man offered to take them to his house, they were scared, but they didn't really have options— it was either get gunned down by a greedy hunter, or be housed by a civilian that might sell them out later anyway.
But, survival instinct kicked in, & they chose whatever option let them live longer & at least feel a semblance of peace. He held them on his back, covering them under his jacket— they were heavy, much taller & more stocky than him, but he was willing to take the weight. Silently, trying his best to not step on any debris, he made his journey home from the currently deep area in the vast foliage.
Finally, at home, he left the being on his couch. His house wasn't big, he didn't seem to have a lot of finances, having a house that looked a little messy with boxes & such on the inside, like he had settled recently. He came down, bringing the creature medical attention— very basic medical attention, he didn't look professional, just like some random young adult trying to figure out how to help an injured victim to the best of his ability. The end results were shabby but good enough.
Okkkk fast forwarding....... by a LOT
At first, Nyx didn't speak to him, living in his basement, since it was dark & quiet; he only knew their name because they wrote it down with poor handwriting. They didn't say a word, just stared, on a rare occasion made a noise. But, 3 months passed & they spoke, surprising him.
Time would pass, he'd keep them fed with a regular supply of large meat cuts & blood packets, (no doubt, people questioned his ownership of those a LOT) fruits & nuts (they really like both of those), & they'd both become closer, sometimes Ash (the young man) would take them out (obviously with high precaution) or moonbathe with them. To his small group of friends he looked crazy housing someone in his home & practically living in his basement from going down there to be with them so often— but he didn't care, feeling quite fond of Nyx even if they sometimes looked like they'd maul him in his sleep.
Ok... wow, that was a lot! Anyways yeah, this is the rough concept, I imagine most of it will stay in the final, but it'll be significantly more developed butttt that's a problem for future Louis... Not mine!!!!
When i can ill make art of Nyx & Ash, me & kevin love them so much actually
lore concepts that ended up being cut from my story:
Zira and Aspen were originally going to be siblings. As I thought about it more, I came to the conclusion that I didn't really like the idea
Asani was originally going to be kinder to kiki and a bit of mentor to her. I ended up cutting this out cause it didn't really fit Asani's personality, but I can say, in canon lore there is one moment where Asani is being genuinely kind to kiki
Aspen and kiki where never going to meet each other but I wanted kiki to have a dad again soo
I actually thought about making kiki and scorpion a thing, but scrapped it in the end, as kiki's luperien Visit was only around a month long
Jack wasn't originally supposed to die but I wanted to kill him off and he wasn't originally an abusive drunk, he was just very distant and depressed in the earlier stages of my story
Kiki wasn't supposed to get possessed, but I realized that her becoming an assassin was very out of character for her, so I made Asani to make it make sense
Kiki and Tristen were only going to be childhood best friends but then I started to ship them and now in future stuff they're married and have 3 kids
