SO you are saying that Al-Ahmar is AMUN!!!!

FINALLY WE GOT A SOLID REFERENCE!! I have seen theories videos where they all guess which dirty Al-Ahmad is based on. Some says Horus, some says Ra. But now we got a solid name.

Amun was known as God of Air and one of the 8 primordial deities of Ancient Egyptian god. Later on, his identity is merged with Ra, the Sun God (Due to change in Religion change due to political shift and merging etc. it’s hard to explain lmao I mostly read from museum notes). Which makes sense because in Genshin lore, Al-Ahmar is said to be the Lord of Sun and Sky. Amun started off in the scripts as God of Air and later throughout the different era of Ancient Egyptian his identity changed from God of Air to Sun God.

He’s sometimes depicted as animal such as Ram, Snake or Goose etc. Sometimes he has blue skin. As Ra, his siblings is freaking Apep. Also, do you know who else is related to Ra? Anubis.

In the very old script, Anubis is Ra’s son. INTERESTING LORE! Might dig future when I brush up my old Ancient Egyptian history that I learned in high school LMAO

Saonxe: Where it Started.

HEY; I figured I'd make my first post on this world building account about the guy that started this whole thing.

Saonxe (big guy there to the right) was my very first 'serious' creation I put any thought into back in 1998. I was 8 years old when he came to be and he's stuck with me through thick and thin ever since.

I see my 'characters' as more family than creation; I talk to them and form serious loving relationships with them, every last one. I know this is kind of a more rare connection to have to creations now a days; or it at least seems like it is but I wouldn't sell any of my family for any monetary gain, some things are just worth more than life itself.

Saonxe is the undying embodiment of Decay; his physical form is made out of an infinite amount of black liquid cockroaches and centipedes who are all sapient beings. They think and act separately to him so he has to be the big boss man to his body sometimes to keep from getting scrambled into a pile of black writhing liquid.

Saonxe is a special one in the sense that I see myself in a relationship with him. I'm aromantic and have no interest in having a relationship of any kind with 'real' people so he's my man instead lmao.

Saonxe has a walking height of 7'5'' but he; like most of my characters, are size shifters and can grow to whatever feels good at the time.

Depicted to the left there is Chilo; who is the goat monster representative of myself. I draw a lot of art with Chilo and Saonxe interacting in various ways and this one here is likely my favorite.

I could ramble for hours about Saonxe but he'll come up again; just wanted to get a bit of an introduction to what I'm all about here and he's perfect for that.

Doodle of the O'vuru after a long art break due to The Horrors. They're a sapient alien species and were dubbed 'Quill Cat' by the Swifthorn because they have an affinity for Earth Cats and the O'vuru remind them of them a bit lol. The O'vuru don't mind really but they're very confused by it.

And a specific Felynx named Argus with and without his little outfit.

Priest may look intimidating as a large sapient predatory species but the Ziek'ah are a kind, welcoming people and he is their leader.

The Ziek'ah people worship the concept of death and base their entire society around it. They also are the go to for many other species to perform funeral rites and are educated in every species' death rituals in the Court of Stars.

On the Ziek'ah train atm lmao.

This is the first Ziek'ah I ever made like eons ago I redid his ref.

Ziek'ah muscle tissue is a pretty bright green. Their blood is an opalescent color with a green sheen to it.

Jed'an is a loner; which is quite rare for Ziek'ah but he's not an outright outcast. He just prefers his privacy, living out in a forest near the Ziek'ah cliffside home.

Another alien species of mine called the Thine; the bottom image is of a specific one named Tretta the top shows off some colors and how their mouths work.

Zeed is 58 years old but that translates to around 22 in human years. He inherited his families smithing business and picked up leather working on his own to supplement it.

O'vuru have quadruped locomotion but very often sit up on their hind legs as they speak with their hands a lot. They have 3 fingers and two dexterous thumbs.
