Hello everyone! :D I’m happy to inform you that our progress towards commissioning portraits/references for all of the plot relevant characters continues! And has, in fact, reached another milestone! :D
Say hello to Qiv’s group!
This comes at a perfect time as well, as Rostario has just become something of a major player over the past few chapters! :D
As mentioned previously, I’m going to continue commissioning portraits of all the plot relevant and major characters until they’re all done, for the purposes of creating a master reference, as well as a secret project that will be shown in due time! :D
So without further ado, let’s just bask in the glory of Mal’s (MalMyrth0 on Twitter) artwork! :D

- (Allegedly) The final in the line of succession to his house (Allegedly).
- Cute.
- Intelligent.

- A patron of the arts (A Poser Patron, according to Ilunor).
- His realm’s structures are built to scale. Which is to say, everything is hamster-sized. (According to Ilunor).
- He doesn’t know how to play an instrument. [TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVE… Why are you telling me this, Ilunor? Wait, so he does? He does or doesn’t? Why is this even relevant? Unless the instrument in question has the capacity to lull everyone in a five hundred meter radius into some mind controlled trance, or is secretly some sort of nth level artifact, I don’t think we should add it to the list. EVI, remove this bulletpoint.]
- A Poet (A bad one according to Ilunor).

Species Name: Chira
EVI’s IFF Designation Number: A19
Notes:

- Has a deathwish if she tries to act on that hate.
- Capable of flight via similar aether secondus/aethra tertius principles. (According to Thacea)

- Watch out for the flight classes. [This is going to age very badly when the flight classes do happen. EVI, remind me to amend this after flight class happens.]
