Hello! If you've stumbled here, welcome to THE LIMBOVERSE. This is a pet project of Magnus and Sincere E. This encompasses, currently, the CARRION line, and the stragglers of the Eisenhardt family, among a great many others! Answers to asks or submissions will be tagged on whether Magnus or Sincere has answered it. They will be tagged with the topic, and for spoiler potential. Reader discretion is advised, but we try to be sensitive to certain topics.

Shai Eisenhardt-Kitumaini (he/him) is the youngest of the Magnet family, and absolutely made all of Magneto's other kids very bitter, because Magneto absolutely loved that chubby-cheeked little fish baby and his little webbed feet… And none of them ever got that kind of treatment with their snappy, curmudgeonly father. (Most importantly, Pietro struggled with Shai's existence for many years.) Magneto's gift to Idira, Shai was the final addition to his bloodline (with Magneto and Idira's knowledge in genetics, Shai was a test-tube baby) before he was buried about 13 years later. In the world, the mutants sort of won. They can mostly live in society without too much fear from humanity at large, but the Friends of Humanity and other Anti-Mutant groups definitely still exist and are very active.

Magneto took it upon himself specifically to train his fish-boy son to the best potential he possibly could, despite being quite old at this point. Shai grew quickly, matching his retired-Terrorist father in stature and height, if not a little bit wider. It initially seemed to be that his ability to quickly adapt to using his mutations was simply an extension of his Fish Person Physiology and perhaps the X-gene he carried from both Magneto and Idira. …Though Magneto never got to see his actual X-gene ability: Mutation Empowerment. In times of intense stress and danger, Shai can transform his body into a much more monstrous fish-monster to deal with tasks at hand. Iron-hard scales deflect bullets and punches, his muscles and hands morphed into gigantic arms and fins and claws. His mouth, while his teeth already regenerated quickly, grows many, many rows of teeth in addition. He later learns more about his connection with the water and ocean that's inherent to his being with his living father, Idira.

Shai's fathers instilled in him a great pride and appreciation of Mutants and their abilities. He learned of Idira's culture, and is regular attendee at a local Reform Temple. He's quite invested in religious study in his free time, even following Kashrut, despite his father's mostly-non-involvement with the religious aspect of his history. Embracing who he was, and the reality of other Mutants, no matter their appearance, was encouraged.

Shai ultimately is very socially awkward, not really sure how to approach common high-schooler social problems, but has a strong sense of justice and equity. He also knows he's 6'10" and built like a Mack truck. He smiles like a kindergartner who doesn't really understand the concept of photographs, he cries loud and often, he's just a sensitive and very emotional boy. He does carry the stigma of being the child of the late Mutant Terrorist Magneto, but at the end of the day, he is a kinder evolution of the man that passed on to continue to fight for Mutantkind's rights and dignity.

The late Magneto himself spent many years with Idira Kitumaini and enduring trauma therapy with Jean Grey (which was terrifying for Jean and harrowing for Magneto) as he worked for the Xavier School as a particularly asocial and cranky Administrator, which was surprisingly a good menial job for him due to his history with multiple Doctorates and known languages, and his past of managing not only organizations but also countries. And yes, Charles and Erik fought vocally weekly, and still sat around in the morning like old men to play chess every week and discuss the books they read at home. Not focusing on his pain and taking himself out of danger helped his mind to be eased more, especially with work he and Charles had done together to stabilize Humanity's opinion of Mutants and greatly disenfranchise the organization of hate groups like the FOH. They definitely agreed on almost nothing, still. Even about the amount of sugar in your coffee, what a proper balanced meal consists of, and the best over-the-counter pain medication.

All of that culminated in that big guy of a fish, Shai! A (slightly) more healed Magneto who taught him to empower himself, and another traditional and culturally-minded and kind father taught him everything he knows. Shai is observant, a sweet boy, and though confused by social convention, with time he becomes an impactful public speaker and interfaces well with the public. Also, you probably don't want to do hand-to-hand combat with him, though he has moral objections to ever killing anyone. He's a great friend to all! As an adult, he comes to lead the X-Men as the pro-Mutant activist (and mercenary) group it becomes after the deaths of Charles and Erik.

Shai is somehow both simple and complex. He's figuring himself out, too!

Aeolus, for a commissioner on Discord! He's an Athamaru with living coral armor! I based the shell shape on crustaceans of a few type. (Didn't really have a reference to put lobster bits on an anthro body because the current lobster-based armor felt really sad and not lobster-y, had to just rawdog it with complex diagrams of lobsters.) And all that coral! A ton of fun, even though I was a bit slow due to an ER visit midway through that toppled me over. Doing better now though!

I draw way too many vampires. And vampire AUs. And.... you get the picture. Something to take the edge off.

Introducing Dixie-Jean LeBeau, the girl of all fucking time. Her momma is from Mississippi, her daddy is from Louisiana, and when they both retired from activism and superhero-ing, they had Dixie-Jean in Texas! Her father definitely imprinted on her in a big way personality-wise, being a fun dad who loves his girl so, so much. She's even a New Orleans Saints fan over the Dallas Cowboys, since that's all her dad will watch during the Football season! (And also because the Cowboys haven't won the Superbowl since the 90s.) Anna-Marie does not like the fact that Dixie-Jean is just like him as much as he does. If there's one she did learn, it was how to appreciate a lady-- Remy definitely reminded her that all women are queens! Sometimes she's a little... well, a lot fond of women. She's a lesbian though and through! Before she really becomes part of the X-Men, she works on a ranch, driving a peeling-paint Chevrolet stick-shift truck. She's as Southern (and Texan) as pecan pie, and you better not forget it! She's blue collar, pro-Worker's Union, hoping endlessly for a blue wave, and always pro-LBGT with the T! Always pretty jolly, she's very friend-forward and will never stand down when someone's in trouble. (This sometimes gets her in trouble though.) She still hates those LED-Headlights Ford Trucks that are 12 feet tall and are always riding your ass as much as everyone else does, too. She will break check you. Her truck is worth less than your insurance rates and she knows it. Her power is a mix of both of her parents'-- Kinetic Absorption! She absorbs kinetic energy, stores it, and can use to to show incredible feats of strength! Almost terrifying feats of strength, especially paired against an enemy like Juggernaut, who has the potential to trudge and trudge and does not stop. She's best friends with Porter Eisenhardt, who we will see later. When designing Dixie-Jean, we wanted her to be un-apologetically Southern, and tried to bring together all the things that Southern lesbians we know would love to see in a girl their age. Lots of girls who love girls in Texas, for sure!

Finally, finally actually adding the more canonical CARRION artwork we've done. Imaniiiiiii. As a Mutant with an inherent psychic link to Death's energy, he has the power of Death Manipulation. He usually uses this to solve Mutant cold cases, but as he grows in his abilities, of course he knows how to use it more efficiently. Knowing how dangerous his power can be, he keeps himself very, very restrained... However, he's still a 19-year-old, so he likes to have fun and hang out when he's not being a Goth about it.

Yeaur. More Redesigns. Harvey de Luca, an Irish-Italian biker gang Vampire motherfucker. He is insane on the road, but it's because he can heal a broken bone (or seven) from a crash like it's nothing. He is much, much kinder and generous than he appears. Still will lay your ass out, though. War veteran from WWI, still anti-Monarchy. Still gay as fuck. Still at the bar. Still getting wheeled away in cop cars. The works. He's been a Vampire Transsexual Menace since the '10s, born before then, and he isn't stopping now! Don't worry, he tries to not exsanguinate anyone. Hostile vampires will be meeting a sword, though!

Time for some Revamping of old ass characters! For this one, I've remade an old favorite and made him a little bit better at, well, being cohesive for a world me and Sincere are playing with. This is Panteleimon Mubon! He's a solo Weapons Manufacturer and Underground Dealer of Infernal weaponry. He's symbiotic with a demon who gives him integral knowledge of Demonic Magic to make the most cracked weapons imaginable. Kills ANYTHING Holy, guaranteed! He doesn't care what you do with his weapons, as long as you don't get caught and rat him out. Because he wants to make more guns. Better and better guns. Forever. He's relatively harmless as far as the Possessed go, and one of very few who can live together with a demon in their body and not face any adverse effects that aren't cosmetic in nature. He just hopes you eventually kill The Big Guy with his weapons. Please let it be his weapons.
