(Please take my ratings with a grain of salt. What I think shouldn't matter when it comes to how much you love your character. ♡ )8/10, Ahhh, I feel like the actually species, the form of him, is really rather interesting and I am found of all of his feathers! I don't personally like the colors, or at least, the colors together, and the design itself feel a bit plain, but that's 50/50 for me there. On one hand I really like the plainness, it helps to keep him a bit simple and pull attention to other important aspects of his design, but on the other hand I'm the type of person that craves complexity. It just feels a bit, mm, missing to me. So that all there is a personal thing. Otherwise, I really really do like this guy, and I love his base species. The feathers on his legs are a really nice touch and brings him all around. I would love to know more about him and his story. I hope we get to see it soon. ;v;
Aashkeelay? On her page is her with a different hair color and I am still really unsure on which I like, so opinions on that would be great! (Please try to rate her on her concept and design, rather than just the fact that she's human/humanoid. ♡♡ ) Character design and art by myself.
Her page is here, though I literally finished her just a bit ago so, aside from a message I sent to a friend describing how I thought the two of them kind of originated and a bit of blurbs, it's kinda bare. Here is a tiny blurb on her now though, since I'm still developing her info.
Her sister is Fahmwalay, who is a seer, but Aash is a beast tamer of sorts. She collects magical creatures and artifacts, in order to preserve magic and continue generations of magic. She has bred magical creatures away from extinction and has even brought a few back from extinction. She specializes in giant steeds (Such as the giant raven companion she bred for Fah), rare/extinct creatures, and dragons. Her sister is her everything, she gave her life up for her, not only once, but twice. She gave up her mortal being to save her sister (explained on her page), the two are extremely close and Aash will never leave her alone too long.
She enjoys a challenge, loves it when one of her new beasts/steeds/creatures give her some spunk/guff, it just feels more rewarding to her when she earns their trust and loyalties. She is extremely claustrophobic though, and often sleeps outside as Fahmwalay's belongings are slowly creeping into her room, taking up too much space. She enjoys this though, as she, like her sister, has an overwhelming fondness for the stars. Her only fears are drowning, and losing her sister.
Each of the crystals contained hovering in her spears magic, is a portal/key to the planes that she keeps her magical creatures/beasts in. The bigger the planes, the stronger the magic, and the greater number of creatures, the bigger the crystals. Once the crystals have reached "maturity" that means that the creatures can be released back into the world, safe for a breedable number to flourish. The same crystals are also kept on her outfit/with her at all times, as these creatures are too dangerous to be released again, or too rare/almost extinct. They require more attention, more protection.
