Toast (21+) | trans-masc | he/him | artist | novella-esue roleplayer | DID/OSDD | Welcome to my blog, sit and stay a while. Worldbuilding for my homebrew dnd campaign
If you're seeing this, I'm spontaneously attempting to be here again
Hi there! I'm toast, used to be vi-the-merchant and also genos.
I'm much older than i used to be, it's been years since I've been on tumblr for more than enough reasons. But I'm trying again! I probably wont clean up a lot of my old posts because I'm lazy and that's too much work, but I'm here now and thats what counts, right?
Okay I'll make this kinda quick anyways. I'll probably not be posting often, but what you can expect is random splurges and ramblings about my worldbuilding efforts. I have a WorldAnvil if anyone's interested in that, but if not whatever it's no biggie im mostly doing it to get my thoughts on digital paper.
Below is an intro to the world. Read at yalls own risk
It's called Ivila, Homeworld. It's a high fantasy/steampunk/cyberpunk genre based world meant for Dungeons and Dragons 5e. I'm running a homebrew campaign in it and have been slowly building up this world for years now. Characters have developed SIGNIFICANTLY since I've posted last; Locke, Wraith/Lucien, and Christopher have all changed. So has Magnus, and various others.
I'm here for my enjoyment primarily, but I'm also open to questions or suggestions to help along my worldbuilding. If you like it, hell yeah. If not? No biggie just keep moving.
anyways that's all for now, maybe another post up soon about the general plot or whatever i can think of at the moment. thanks for joining me on this journey lolol. k bye
Here's the Masterpost link
Unrelated to the current world building I've been doing and just a completely unhinged thing that I feel seems relevant and on brand:
In a dnd session I had on Monday, I successfully fell down a flight of stairs, climbed back up witha molotov, and exploded an entire storeroom (which also happened to be the bar) of alcohol. As a tiefling being resistant to fire, I spent the rest of that combat on fore and happily traumatizing the guys we were fighting
Recently had the delight to fish up a very old concept I never used of a pixie alchemist, no art of them yet but their name is Sacharya, pretty sure they're married to Cedith
I have acquired a tiny book nook type of model that I've been building for days now. It is their house nobody can convince me otherwise.
I'm planning on rambling about each of the NPCs at a later date (I have some art I need to finish first) but until then, my asks are open! I can answer any questions about any of the NPCs I mentioned.
I'm also opening up my asks to anyone who might have ideas for more NPCs or significant characters the players might eventually meet (mostly looking for concepts! I struggle to come up with concepts myself.).
(aka this is the master post for my silly little ocs)
I'm going to put most of this under a read more just because there will be pictures and I wouldn't wanna clog up y'all's feeds with the sheer amount of stuff.
I'll make a small list of characters I really want to get into, at least so that I can remember to talk more about them myself aha.
In this post you'll find information about:
-Magnus and Magan Deyvet
-Lockeland, Kitril, and Cedith Puckett
-Lucien Ancrum and Milo Ancrum-Buckley
-Helios the Bard
-Christopher and Loulouche Sunsinger
-Raiden the Wanderer
-Ghost
-Knox Odikonn the Mad Wizard
-The Glazastov Family
Continue reading at your own risk I suppose?
Okay so. Starting off strong with the twins.
Magnus Deyvet
Pronouns: he/him
An asshole to put it plainly. This little rat bastard will ruin your day he's such a a little shit oh my god. He used to be worse but I can apparently Not Make Sympathetic Villains so I'm just sitting here with a kind mean little bastard boy who's also immortal and can't stay dead so yeah that's fun! He's old and tired and wants to be left alone kinda sorta but he also wants to be in everyone's business. How dare you NOT let him be in your business you MUST tell him all the things. An aggressively gay little man. Absolutely can and will bite. Also he's a changeling so he can shapeshift too and that's cool I guess. Did I say who awful he is
Magan Deyvet
Pronouns: he/she/they
My silly little BLORBO. He is my little bean my precious dogboy the BEST EVER. NOTHING like their brother nope not at ALL. In reality she's actually probably just as bad, but his moral code is far more defined than Maggie's is I suppose. He's a fairly friendly person, she spends a lot of her time working on their prosthetics and stuff like that. Big robot nerd basically aha
Lockeland Puckett
Pronouns: they/them
Scribgly scrimblo!!!! My screembl. My little BASTARD!! I love them y'all I can't understated how much they rotate around in my brain with their funny little accent! Just a silly guy they're so traumatized it's so much fun dude. They're missing an eye btw!! And an ear and half their tongue ahahaha. But they have a cat and three dogs and a silly accent so it's okay :)
Kitril and Cedith Puckett
Pronouns: he/him and they/them respectively
Locke’s father and auncle respectively, they hate each other for some reason I haven't quite determined why lol. But they're both silly old fey and I like them a lot. If I had to describe each in short terms I'd say Kit is a crazy cat man and Cedith is a bog witch. Great little guys. You should definitely trust them with your name
Lucien Ancrum
Pronouns: he/they
The guy ever!! He's so soft and big and sweet and will give everyone hugs. This man loves everyone he's literally just here for the hugs. He will become ur dad he will let you lay on a fluffy highland cow. He is just the best, I have no complaints he is so pure and good. What a man
Milo Ancrum-Buckley
Pronouns: she/her
Lucien's sister! She got the "short" end of the straw in genetics because she looks way more human than her brother but that's ok. She's strong and also big and will beat up anyone that misgenders u. She also owns and runs a tavern!!! Pretty sure she's a lesbian too but I haven't given her a proper love interest so if you have suggestions please tell them at me
Helios the Bard
Pronouns: he/him
Clown ahh MF. This man is goofy as hell but he's also the organizer behind 99% of the riots and strikes in one of the primary cities so there's that I guess. He has a wife he loves VERY much dude he's so so SO dedicated to her. Literally just hanging off her every word. But he's a lot smarter than he presents, he's just gotta keep it silly or he'll be consumed by the narrative
Christopher Sunsinger
Pronouns: he/him
Literally gay as hell. Gayest man I know. He's short and gay and gay. He's also strong as hell and could throw a person. He's completely blind but he keeps making sight-based jokes and thinks he's funny for it. Also a good therapist! Probably.
Loulouche Sunsinger
Pronouns: he/him
Angry and small. Christopher's little brother. Asshole. Highly traumatized and very very temperamental he may as well be your mortal enemy if you so much as look at him the wrong way. Kinda a space cowboy tho so that's cool! He likes to fight god
Raiden the Wanderer
Pronouns: he/him
Silly bird man who makes soup and studies ancient ruins of long lost civilisations in the desert! He doesn't have a quarrel with anyone and nobody has a quarrel with him. He knows the tunnels under the desert well and knows how to avoid sandworms. He's also a guide for lost travelers trying to make their way through a hopelessly large desert.
Ghost
Pronouns: they/them
Silly Creecher, Ghost is my little blorbo bingus. They are a cryptid and a spooky little guy and they will look at som1 and think "that is friend". Just my tall Eldritch beastie that likes to hang out with people and sit in their forest
Knox Odikonn the Mad Wizard
Pronouns: it/they/he
Really fucked up little guy. Kinda more fucked up than Maggie if I'm being honest. A real piece of work, it created a nightmarish hell-dimension called Wiz-Mart for fun and watched people actually try to utilize it as a proper grocery store. They find it HIGHLY entertaining to watch
The Glazastov Family
Pronouns: see below
I'd make individual blurbs for this family but none of them are that important aside from Vitaly, but he's also a very minor character in this (I still love him a lot though). The Glazastov Family is a (you guessed it) family of morticians and funeral directors. They are a family of five, consisting of the parents (Konstantin and Olga) and their three children (Vitaly, Sasha, and Polina). Konstantin (he/him) and Olga (she/her) are happily married and getting up there in years, but they tend not to go out much. Not very social at all. Vitaly (he/him) is the most social out of all of them and that's saying a lot. He's not very keen on speaking to others outside of work, but he has a soft spot for kids and does a lot of the talking for his family. Sasha (he/him) is an asshole. He was quickly driven out of the family home for trying to kill his brother. Polina (she/her), or Polly for short, is the youngest and very very sweet. She often plays with the children outside the morgue, and her responsibilities in the family have yet to be passed down, since she's quite young still.

Okay- I did it, I wrote the things down. I'm sure there will be plenty more characters and NPCs to come, I definitely haven't covered all of them, but this is the basic stuff for the moment. God it's exhausting making this long of a post how do y'all do it this took me like three days
Anyways enjoy, if you have questions my asks are open or you can just. Rb or comment or whatever idm either way. I hope you all derive much joy from my little blorbos
Here's a list of links to the world's stuff:
WorldAnvil
Pinterest
Spotify Playlist
Generally the WorldAnvil will have a whole lot more of what you're looking for, I'm not gonna explain everything here by a long shot. However, I do have the world map:
Dua Idussa is the primary continent(s) the players of my campaign are/will be on. It's the outer two islands surrounding the smaller one. Ana Ada is that smaller middle continent. Pathacreli is a completely separate continent that hasn't quite been explored yet.
If there's any other significant posts, I'll link them below:

Just finished a commission of a funky lad named Jethro! Surprisingly, the mask was quite fun to color. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch1vPq6rKwE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
A doodle of Rigor, the local undertaker. Wanted to do a bit of a modern spin on him I suppose https://www.instagram.com/p/ChEaTidrC3-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
My most recent pair of artfight attacks, did these two with blind color palettes! The first was fully blind, the second was just the hair. First character belongs to @jaysinstaorsomething because I know his tag lol https://www.instagram.com/p/CgiqLNkr5QC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Redrew an old piece from a few months ago. A friend’s OC, drew it for him originally when he wasn’t feeling well, I recently rediscovered it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1y4LzLTiF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
