Don't know if anyone here even remembers that spiderman cover, but I thought it was very aeldari-core, so I slapt my blorbo in it.

Made a little comic for our Weird West campaign that starts today.

My yeehaw is actually a Pale Chanting Goshawk who gained the ability to shapeshift into a yeehaw a few hundred years ago (also partial immortality, obviously). This is how it happened.

Senshistock used for them poses.

Did you know there’s a whole cast around Yukiro now? Let me tell you about The Team, Yukiro & Kahen & Gozu & Sagome & Akitoki!

Yukiro General Yukimori Oyagata, right-hand man and childhood friend of Lord Tsura (the current head of the Oyagata clan), nicknamed Yukiro by... pretty much everyone who isn’t his underling. Pale, dark-haired and graceful, in his early 30s. His colours are whites and pale blues, his motifs are the kind of snowfall that is quiet and fluffy, snowflakes and gentle winds. He loves music and the theatre, and hates cowardice and selfishness. He is a fine swordsman and a skilled infiltrator, but his most valuable skill is his ability to see the true potential and hidden strengths of others.  When Lord Fuhai first broke through the seal between worlds, he nearly killed Yukiro with a single touch. Luckily Lady Ise, head of the rival Shiranui Clan and an exceptional healer, was present and cleansed the demon lord’s poison just in time. But even that brief moment of exposure left Yukiro’s body severely weakened, and his recovery would take months. And so, when it was time to create a battle plan for the demons’ return, Yukiro volunteered to travel the world to find allies outside the two Clans, a vital task for which his physical strength was not needed... only his keen eye. He can (and will) fight, formidably so, but his constitution at the start of his journey is basically that of an old man. He naps. A lot.

Kahen This is @ophexis‘ character, but I’ll do my best to get it all right! Kahen is a lone kitsune who believes he’s just a man cursed to be a fox. Tan, magenta-haired and lithe, always wearing a mask, most commonly a kitsune mask. Looks to be in his mid 20s. His colours are pinks and reds, his motifs are sakura, foxes and masks. He loves snacks and ear scritches and hates dogs. He is a formidable swordsman, both in human and fox form. As a kitsune, he has the capacity for supernatural abilities, but as a certified dumbass, he takes quite a while to realise and nurture that. Long ago, Kahen was member of a clan organised around serving and protecting a powerful kitsune. Then he died. The kitsune had mercy on him and sacrificed one of its tails to bring him back to life as one of its own. Death is traumatising though, and he didn’t remember any of it, thinking he was just cursed to randomly turn into a fox until the end of time. Much, much later, a demon possesses him, enticed by his by then considerable power. It controls him for a long time... until Yukiro shows up. Asked by a nearby village to kill a malicious kitsune in the woods, Yukiro assumes it is Kahen (it isn’t) and cuts him down. As Kahen dies, the demon escapes to find a new host. But Kahen isn’t lost... he has gained additional tails over time and instead of dying for good, he loses one of them. And so, when Yukiro finds him again, he’s just a weakened, hurt and pitiful one-tailed fox. Yukiro nurses him back to health. They eventually take out the actual malicious kitsune (and the demon) together and Kahen joins Yukiro on his journey.

Gozu of the North Gozu used to be the muscle in a band of bandits, until that band broke apart. A giant muscular woman with wild hair and a wild laugh. Looks to be in her 20s. Or maybe her 30s. Maybe?? Her colours are browns and blacks, and her motifs are deep forests, bears and plants. She can punch anyone and anything, but if she has to use a weapon, it’ll be whatever she is able to lift. She also possesses considerable knowledge of nature and plants. She loves plants (especially nurturing them), wrestling and Sagome and hates bullies and ignorance. Feared and shunned over her size and her off-putting demeanour, Gozu spent many years as one quarter of the ‘Four Demons’ (no relation to actual demons), a wandering group of bandits. She met Sagome there, and as the two of them grew closer, they also grew discontent with the Four Demons, until they turned on their two companions. Around that same time, Yukiro and Kahen were hired by the most current victims of the bandits’ schemes to take them out. Gozu and Sagome managed to convince Yukiro to let them go, in return for helping them capture the other two bandits. And then they stuck around, because Gozu can tell good people when she sees them.

Sagome of the South Sagome used to be the brain in a band of bandits, until that band broke apart. A willowy beautiful woman with lush silver hair and a deceptively refined demeanour. Her age is impossible to tell. Her colours are silvers and lavenders, and her motifs are mist, coins and the glint of metal reflecting cold light. She has a sharp and quick mind and a talent for numbers and logic. And she knows how to play people’s expectations like a shamisen. She loves wealth, puzzles and Gozu and hates preconceptions and perverts. Her past shrouded in mystery, Sagome was the second to join the “Four Demons”. She came up with their names, their schemes and their future plans... and then Gozu joined. Something about the wildwoman changed Sagome’s outlook on life, and eventually, the two of them decided to leave the life of banditry behind. In the middle of their ‘breakup’ with the other two bandits, Yukiro and Kahen joined the situation and Sagome saw her chance to be rid of her former partners and their potential desire for payback. They joined forces to take out the bandits, and then it was just... convenient to travel together for a while. ... maybe a longer while than she initially planned. Gozu likes it.

Akitoki Once a farmer, now a priest, Akitoki is as much spiritual as he is practical. Tanned, sturdy, with greying auburn hair and heavily lidded eyes. Looks to be in his 40s. His colours are oranges and browns, and his motifs are red maple leafs, smoke and the crackling of a bonfire. Akitoki has an acute sense for spiritual beings and effects, and an intuitive understanding of how to interact with them. He’s also a skilled farmer and a great cook. He loves yams, smoking a nice pipe and evening sunshine, and hates charlatans and cruelty. Akitoki was a simple farmer for many years, until his village was attacked. Desperate to save his neighbours and friends, he pleaded with the kami of the land, who he had always felt greatly connected to, to save them, offering his life as a price. His pleas were answered and the village saved. The kami did not take his life however, but only his eyesight, and in turn granted him an extraordinary connection to the spiritual, to sense it wherever it was strong and call upon it when needed. With such new gifts, Akitoki served as the grateful village’s only priest for a few years, but eventually felt the pull to travel the world. One day in those travels, he senses a strong and mischievous spirit and begins to chase it in an attempt to protect the people from its tricks. Unsurprisingly, Kahen does not appreciate having talismans flung at him whenever he tries to steal snacks and eventually, Yukiro confronts the wandering priest, which turns into a long talk. After hearing about the demonic threat, Akitoki needs no further convincing to join the group. Kahen sulks for quite a while.

And that’s the team Yukiro gathers on his journey. They have their disagreements, and their own troubles and needs, but like all found families, they end up ready to kill everyone in this room and then themselves if something happened to one of them.

Time to work on the villains.

@ophexis​ is making a kitsune dude to hang with my Yukiro (which I am indescribably delighted by) and I couldn’t stop thinking about this so I made a quick thing.

[tenander]

I am Oyagata Yukimori, first general of the Oyagata Clan. A hundred years ago, together with our allies, we defeated a great evil intent on transforming this world into a realm of death and decay. But now this evil is about to return, and the alliance has weakened. We need new allies to help us in the oncoming battle, and you... you possess the kind of skills we could use. You would be a most valuable ally. Please, lend us your strength.

Character Voices

Calico has an audible fake-french accent. He calls everyone Buddy, and talks friendly and often indirectly. Unless he gets really serious, at which point he will be extremely straightforward and to the point.

Voi has an entirely fictional accent that most notably replaces every th with t or d. He always talks with complete confidence, and is very straight forward, though never disrespectful (unless someone tries to mess with him or his).

Chenn’s voice is hoarse and deep as if it was recovering from screaming too much and he is a man of little words. To strangers, he often sounds angry or irritated even when he isn’t. He is at his most talkative when he’s muttering to himself in Zabraki.

Corzian’s voice is soft and steady, and he speaks remarkably sedate, a habit he inherited from his father. He is polite and patient, but has no mind or voice for verbal decorations. He also pointedly does not speak to people who have in any way raised his ire, a master of the silent treatment. His language is flavoured with a few select words/phrases from Mandarin.

“Francis” has the deep voice befitting his hefty half-orc body, but he has yet to eliminate the ticks from his previous life... speaking quickly and erratically (twitchy, one might say), lacking any concept of politeness and shrieking when trying to inform others of a threat.
