Bio

Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!

I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.

Word of my splendor:

Phew, finally. Nice post, I particularly liked the mechanism of change.

Maybe I will need a very short collab with Ventus soon.


By all means. Any particular subject for the collab in mind?

If it's those magical horns scattered across Galbar, I'm now thinking that perhaps it makes more sense for Aihtiraq to create those. But of course Ventus could still do it if you want that to be collab material.

Also, Enkidu? And here I was thinking I was going too far by referencing old Mesopotamian cities so blatantly.


Naaah, you're fine on that account. As in for me, I draw more Greek inspiration for his character. The name Enkidu just fits better with the other Vetruvian names. Rest assured I'm not doing a complete copy of the Epic of Gilgamesh, awesome as a retelling might be.

Honestly I wasn't expecting anyone to get the allusion. I guess more people know about Mesopotamia than I expected.
*tfw Kho doesn't want to torture divinuskind so secretly sabotaged a CyKhollab so that the characters were 23,000 less than 150,000*

No one tell Cyclone anything.
It's not like he checks this place anyway.


Yup, hope you guys like. Maybe it'll keep you busy for a while.

Due to the 150,000 character limit we actually had to cut it short. Would've liked to tackle the Heru vs Y'Qar conflict that's been brewing since the Priest, Demon, Spirit collab as well, but you know. Laziness and stupid character limits are the bane of CyKhollab Productions.

It'll just go in the beginning of the next collab I guess.

Right in time for me to toss Vitrum onto the list of notable djinn that I started on the wiki article
@Cyclone



ogres don't have goat-legs

Those remind me of the Ungor from Warhammer.
The ogre's face was inspired moreso by the Greenskins from Warhammer.



Note the beady eyes in deep sockets, the flat nose, the fangs, etc. I TRIED to portray that, but drawing is harder than I remember
@Kho I actually did it! You didn't get onto the pad, so I wasted my time trying to draw an ogre instead.

Look, everyone, and let none say that the drawing skills of Cyclone pales before any other!


Notice the brawny arms, the protruding gut, the lack of any bodily hair, and the usage of some crude pickaxe-looking weapon. He's an ogre alright!

Maybe I'll put just a wee bit more effort into Ommok if I ever try to draw him...
@Muttonhawk

For clarity, my question mainly concerns the Hain that would be in that area near the Venomweald and Firewind that Ommok is invading. Because I didn't explicitly mention what "large swathes" of land Ommok took, I'm going to scale back the size of his conquests significantly.

Thinking about canonizing some tribal confederation that would offer a little bit more resistance to the ogres.

So given what you just said, I'll go with Slough worship and some Stone Chippers being present. Probably will take the liberty of saying that the "shrines" to Slough are just sacred groves or trees, maybe like the Irminsuls from Germanic pagan traditions.
@BBeast@Muttonhawk

Have the Chippers diffused to the point where they are present in all regions populated by Hain? And to what extent are Teknall (and the other gods and/or djinn) worshiped? As there are shrines or temples or clergy?
You know, I was feeling too lazy to add more content to the next CyKhollab (admittedly it doesn't need more content; @Kho we already surpassed the character limit again) so I figured I'd go look at the wiki to poke around and see if there's anything cool. Maybe even add a page or two.

YA WANNA KNOW WHAT I FOUND?



Hmph. I see how it is
