So I've been catching up on your other TDP related stories. And with the small chance that this question may or may not send you into another Hero Forge spiral....
Have you given any thought to future Assassin kids? Aka, children of Ruthari, Andromeda/Elyrin, Ram/Astrid? I know Skor/Callisto are on the fence about having kids, so not sure if I can include them in this ask?
It did send me to HeroForge, which is part of why this one took so damn long to answer, lmao. A small part, anyway, I'm also just bad at clearing my inbox.
I've always had the thought Ruthari would try again now that Rayla's grown up, but it wasn't until this ask that I sat down to imagine what that kid would actually be like. Andromeda and Elyrin have twins right off the bat, a boy and a girl, and put a pause on any more for a while because two is enough to begin with, the elves don't seem to have large families. Skor and Callisto are definitely having at least one kid, I might stick them with just the one that formed in my head as I made her HF. I actually haven't considered Ram and Astrid having kids, I don't really have any thoughts on that front even after experimenting in HeroForge for a bit with the others.
The images of them came before their names. Ruthari's second daughter's name is Fyrenai (fear-en-ai). Androlyrin's kids are Talyr and Selai (sell-AY), and Skoristo's daughter is named Aria.
HFs under the cut:
Ruthari:
Fyrenai got Runaan's eye color and Ethari's eye shape, Runaan's hair and Ethari's brows, Ethari's jaw and Runaan's chin. She's heavily affected by growing up with Rayla as a big sister, takes after her in personality more strongly than either of their dads. She managed to tame a nightfox, shown here, which is something most people won't even try to do. She's got a knack for animals, though it's not the same as Ezran's empathy with them.
Andromeda and Elyrin:
Talyr:
Talyr took more after his mom, he'll be a warrior like her, probably going into the same profession the assassins become after being disbanded. He shares her aversion to covering clothes. Like both of his parents, he uses a blue horn stain, and I like these markings for his face.
Salei:
Salei (sah-lay) took more after her dad, in contrast, and became a bard. To separate her from her parents (who both use stringed instruments) she plays a pan flute. She should have smaller horns, especially at the base, and I'm strongly considering just making her match her brother, but I did hers first so I didn't think about it before. She's a softhearted soul who does her best not to live in constant fear for her more warlike family members, and clings harder to her dad as a result. She's just as fun-loving as he is, though, a bright spot in the dark.
Skoristo:
Aria is the daughter of Skor and Callisto, and her design was inspired in definite part by the girl from Lydia the Bard's music video for "RUN". Her name is derived from it too, being as close as I think a Moonshadow name would get to the Greek Ariadne, the princess who escaped the labyrinth. She's definitely growing into a warrior like them. She stresses Skor the hell out with her recklessness, he complains constantly that she's growing up just like Rayla, and he's never giving Runaan shit for his parenting ever again. Callisto is quieter about it but sets their mind to making sure she's prepared for Literally Anything, including training with magic.
The music video in question. I have also just now realized I used the same corset top for all three of these young women, but fuck, it worked so WELL layered with other things, it gave them all some of the delicate lines Moonshadow tend to have in their clothing that were hard to imitate.
