━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Grey besmirched the land, nothing but an eternal, swirling swarm of grey. Flecks of gold and amber seldom glinted in the darkness, where the light of the sun was unable to pierce through the suffocating veil of absolute grey.

Calloused hands gently laid upon the scarred bark of the shriveled corpse of a great oak, the figure gazed out into the barren fields of dust. His eyes were glassy and unseeing, what once shined with the light of a sun dulled to a dark golden metal. His lungs were charred by the choking mass of the burning air, and a cough erupted out of him, cutting through the deathly silence.

His ears twitched and he shook slightly, despite the uncomfortable warmth of the land, as he ran his fingers down the side of the tree, lightly scratching at the skin as if he may scrape away the grey and black that clung to the tree. His hands trembled, tracing the scorched remains, the jagged edges of splintered wood. And as the ash cleared from where he desperately scraped, he began to remember.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

An eternity ago, he remembered the feel of the sun on his cheek and the wild wind that called to him.

For once, long ago, there was once an ancient deity, an ageless immortal gifted with fire and light. He loved his fire, a raging, ferocious power that he had spent so long taming. His name was Kallan, and he was once a kind, benevolent being.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

realised i dont have time- going to sleep so here were my ideas!!
- traveling far from home
- instead, falling in love with a mortal prince
- the prince tells him to meet in the palace gardens in the light of the full moon
- blinded by his love, he agrees, waiting for the mortal whom he so fiercely loved.
- the prince betrays him, sealing him with an archaic magic, wishing to harness his godly power for himself
kallan's essence, his divine power was ripped from him,
chaining him, a holy light that scalded his throat. the fire he had cherished.
for the magic intended to seal his magic instead sealed him
into a mortal form
and as his voice burned away in a scream
he vowed never to love again.
then with flames burning in his eyes, the last shred of his power exploded from within him
shredding the land, turning it into a kingdom of ash and embers.
the magic he had never once used to harm before, unleashed
his skin was stained black with ash forever, and,
the halo is what is left of his fire - he cannot control it nor get rid of it.
and though his flame is gone
the halo still burns his skin, the reminder of his mistake
forever imprinted around his throat; a collar, a chain.

I might put Bram’s entry on a seperate post from my other one.

[pIanted]

before the entirety of my admittedly short form, i’d like to apologise for the lack of in depth character development - due to my IB i’m currently very busy but was able to write this up during a study break! I hope You enjoy this short summary of the lore id love to give these two angels. i’ve had an eye on them for a while now - the contrast of their colours immediately caught my attention! I wholeheartedly promise to give them all the love I can if You decide to give them to me.

Budpendest - renamed yin and yang - would represent the physical manifestation of a deity in my current world building project by the name of Cuwo. Cuwo is inpired by this worlds religion and conflicts by taking them out of their original context and giving them new meaning. It aims at creating a new story out of ones that are known as immutable from the beginning of time.

‘Budpendest’ as they are currently known as would Stand for the Buddhist symbol of peace - the yin and yang. The symbol would gain a physical reincarnation in the form of this blue and pink character with two heads - the two colours representing the contrast of opposing views in the way that the white and black of the original yin and yang sign does. The lore would go as follows:


___


There once were two lovers, so resonating with each other and entwined by the soul that the entire kingdom of Quantan looked up to them as ideal and entrusted them as their oracle. Grown up side by side and so in harmony with each other that they were worshipped, the all mighty gods of Cuwo soon took an interest in them. But while watching them decade after decade - they did not take a liking to what they saw.

So one fateful day, they told them: “separate now or You will face wrath. You have committed treason on the highest of levels. You are mere mortals, yet You take on a godly standard. You are lying to Your followers.” They paused, “Separate, or it will be the death of all you love and stand for”

But enchanted by their love and enticed by their balance, yin and yang did not listen. They kept living, they kept loving, they kept staying by each other’s side and entwining their strings of fate so entirely that man could barely keep them apart. And equally enchanted, their followers kept following their lead. Living in peace and harmony, and following what their hearts told them was the truth.

“Enough!” Shouted the gods, furious with their disobedience, “enough with this imprudence. You are charlatans, nothing more, nothing less. We have given You an ultimatum. Separate at once, or You and Your following will face the eternal wrath. The wrath of the true gods of this world”

And with a mighty strike of thunder - with the force echoing over the continent, creating waves as big as mountains and lights as bright as suns - yin and yang were thrust apart from each other.

But in the wasteland that was once their home, with their folk lain dead by their sides, yin and yang did not lie defeated - they stood firmly by each other’s side, with red strings of fate entwined so heavily that they now stood as one. One figure, gazing up at the gods in anguish. Two heads, one body. Two heads, one belief. Proof that the gods were never the most powerful force. Destiny was. Balance was. Harmony was.

Furious as one had never seen, the gods banished yin and yang to an island full of solitude. The island of lost sounds. bound to always stay entirely by themself, but never themselves, and leaving them for their own destiny to catch up with them.

But it never did.

And so they still reside there, in blissful solitude, awaiting the day that they would meet others. Others that had faced the wrath of the gods and survived. Others that had decided their own fate, no matter what cost. Others that had disobeyed, and yet come out victorious.

Others just like them.

[petrify]

trying for: budpendest

names: left/venus, right/jupiter.

gender: female

sexualities: both are pansexual, but venus leans more towards females, and jupiter goes for more gender non conforming individuals.

personality: venus is the more reserved of the two, more often than not the one calculating and watching everyone's every move. she's usually very quiet, and only stare at someone when they ask her a question, to which she then looks at jupiter, who then answers for her. when she does speak, she's cold, almost defensive, with every word. rude, most people would call it. she's even this way with jupiter most of the time, and seems to always just be grumpy in general. venus also struggles with trust issues, due to their past, which i will explain further. jupiter, on the other hand, she's also usually quiet, but not to be rude. she's very shy, but has to go out of her comfort zone to do things for venus and her. she's the more generous and nice one, choosing to be kind to everyone and go out of her way to help others, to venus's misfortune. they both can communicate to each other telepathically, to which venus usually curses her sister out, saying that they should mind their own business and not give anybody the time of day. jupiter understands venus not wanting to be around people, but she thinks they should also give people a chance sometimes, if they mean no harm. she's optimistic, even after everything they've been through together, but she also has high anxiety from everything. venus controls almost everything with anger, while jupiter tries to camly work things out.

how they function: living in one body as two people isn't very easy for the two of them. they disagree constantly, fight inside of each other's minds, and sometimes, one mind overrules the other. you know, one of them goes on... standby mode, almost, and the other takes full control. if one of them feels strongly about something and they will it into belief, they take full control over them. when the other is in "standby mode", as they usually refer to it as, they do their normal functions such as blinking, looking around (but not being able to turn their head), breathing, all of that. but they cannot talk or act on things. they also can't feel anything that's happening. so it's almost like sleep paralysis for one of them, in a way. unfortunately for jupiter, venus is the more strong-willed one, and the one with more heavy opinions on things, and sometimes overrules jupiter completely until the action or thing that had to be done is complete. in other situations, one will give up complete control to the other in some situations as well.

the world they live in: they live on a separate planet then earth, in a galaxy completely separated from the milky way. the planet is rich with minerals, materials, plant life, and all of that. the inhabitants on this planet are all very conscious with resources and how they use them, and they take care of their planet very well. everyone is accepted there, and unjudging in the slightest, except for a select few, which are obviously frowned upon. it's very similar to earth and many aspects, but... so much better.

history: born to a normal family on earth, their parents were... unpleasantly surprised to see that their second child was a "two headed freak", as they called them, as well as everyone around them. their older sibling, although they never knew them - they're not even sure if their sibling with a female, male, or neither - defended them and tried their best to keep them there, to try to protect them. a few months after they were born, they were sent to a lab to be tested and studied on by curious scientists, wondering how this phenomena occurred. for years this went on, different types of injections put into them, different kinds of medicine, all of that; which affected both of them differently. something that could make jupiter see hallucinations might make venus just feel a tingling sensation in her scalp. which... did happen sometimes. jupiter was always the one to be affected more roughly by things. many times, venus would take control of their body so jupiter couldn't feel anything, and take the brunt of every feeling herself. she didn't want jupiter to ever suffer, and jupiter felt the same towards venus, but venus... obviously felt it more strongly. they were the little test subjects that went along on every dangerous mission. from holding them underwater for long periods of time, to space travel, to sending them underground, drinking poisons, testing out medicines, everything imaginable was done to them. then, when they were thirteen, they were tested for space travel and actually went along with astronauts on an expedition. this was suppose to be their last day to ever live. the three astronauts that had traveled with them brought them out into space, wearing a suit, and let them get use to the feeling of nothingness around them. and then, you might ask? they removed the helmet from their heads. they were told about space, but not that anything would harm them up there, and to trust the adults. trust the people who had hurt them. venus had a hard time accepting the fact they were traveling off of earth, but what could be worse then what was happening to them? jupiter agreed because... what else could she say? no? but when the helmet was removed, nothing had happened. they just looked curiously around, tried to talk, but nothing came out. the astronauts, if you could imagine, were absolutely baffled. there was no oxygen, and they should've died in front of their eyes, but they didn't. when they had returned to earth, their finding was reported, and then the girls were prepped for years for more advanced space travel, and they were sent out when they were 18 to find life on other planets. they were alone for a long time, floating through space, until an alien ship - one that was owned by the planet they now lived on - picked them up. they were terrified, but there was nothing they could do. when they reached the planet and were taken out of their aircraft, they were examined, and taken to the prince, who said that they were welcome there. venus and jupiter told them about the tracking on the aircraft, which was promptly destroyed once they told them all the terrible things that happened to them. and they were home.

family/friends:
synnove | sister: although venus and jupiter have no connection whatsoever with their older sister, synnove remembers them. she remembers being six years old, trying to protect her sisters, wondering why everyone wanted them gone, why everyone wanted them hurt. synnove remembers her father coming in with a bunch of strange men in suits, and holding them in her arms, screaming for them to get away from her, to go away. she remembers one of the men she didn't recognize ripping them out of her arms, little venus and jupiter wailing as they were taken away by the only person in the world that loved them. she remembers screaming "give me back my babies!", running towards them with swinging fists, before she was picked up by her father, who was cursing under his breath that she was gonna get it once the "kind men" were gone. she cried as she watched her only siblings being taken away, the only siblings she would ever get, since their father later killed their mother, claiming that the "two headed thing" wasn't his. they all may not know each other, but synnove remembers the love she had for them when she was a small girl, and carries that love in her heart. synnove, when old enough, became an astronaut once she heard that the girls were sent out, so she could find her sisters and finally be able to take care of them.

zanareth | friend, king of the planet they inhabit: one of the first ones to come in contact with them, he asked them where they were coming from, and if their ship had lost fuel, stuff like that. he saw that they were no threat; venus looked like she was trying to hold it together, to be strong and look tough, but he could see the fear in her eyes. jupiter didn't make eye contact and she was breathing heavily, like she was about to have a breakdown. when he reassured them that they were safe, and they could trust him, that nobody was gonna hurt them, jupiter visibly calmed down, but venus... is venus, so she still stood on guard. once they explained their situation, zanareth ordered for the ship to be taken apart, and offered them a home there, that nobody would hurt them anymore. and nobody did. zanareth, and his partner wick, are the only ones venus truly trusts besides jupiter. they visit him often, share some laughs, talk about what's happening, all of that. this is the only time venus lets a smile grace her face, or lets her guard down.

their job: venus and jupiter have two jobs, one that suits venus more, one that suits jupiter more. they both work together for both, though, to make everything go more smoothly and to support each other through things. they do humanitarian work on the planet - what jupiter enjoys the most - and help out people in need, help people get used to the planet if they're foreign to the planet, answer questions, and jupiter is also slowly learning medical things to be a pediatrician. the other side of things, is scouting missions. going to other planets, contacting others, fighting if they're hostile. and since they have the ability to keep living without... any type of oxygen or anything, they're perfect for it, and venus wasn't gonna let that pass her up. jupiter gets too stressed sometimes with these though, and let's venus take control.

goals: venus's goal is to become the commander of the entire scouting league, although that's... not likely to happen. although she is the leader of her small squad of five, and she's content with that. but someday, she hopes. as for jupiter, she wants to become a pediatrician like before, and hopefully be a nurse and watch over people in labor, too. she loves children, and wants to help them out since her and venus never got that.

meeting synnove:
"venus, jupiter? someone... is asking to see you?"

jupiter and venus exchanged glances, venus's brows furrowing. they stood to their feet then, jupiter speaking first.

"someone as in...?" she asks, tilting her head to the side, curiosity with a tad bit of fear in her eyes.

zanareth cleared his throat, "i'm... not sure who it is. she claim they know you. she described you guys down to a t, besides... your hair. she said she tracked you from earth? but she doesn't seem like one of the people who hurt you. better come talk and see what this is about."

jupiter gulped, heart beginning to thud loudly in her chest. venus simply sighed, shaking her head.

"well, let's go see what this is about," she murmured, and they walked out of their room, right into the main hall.

there stood a girl with long black hair, who was chewing on her bottom lip, red eyes scanning the room. when she spotted them, her mouth dropped open as she studied them, her eyebrows upturning and a smile coming to her face.

"oh my god... is it really you guys?" she said, voice almost inaudible as she began walking towards them. guards held her back by her arms then, one of them shaking their head.

the black haired woman simply nodded slowly, planting her feet on the ground. the two let go of her, and venus and jupiter cautiously approached her.

"who are you? how do you know us?" venus asked, malice laced in her voice as she stared daggers into the stranger.

"i-i," she stuttered, taken aback by the fierceness venus had. her eyes went to jupiter, who quickly looked down at the floor.

"i said, who the hell are you? did they put you up to this?" venus growled, stepping forward, her face in the other woman's.

she looked to the side so she wasn't staring directly into her eyes, obviously quite intimidated by this change of pace.

"i'm your sister. i was six when they took you two away. i loved you guys and i begged for them to not take you, but the men in suits... didn't care... dad surely didn't care. they didn't tell me where they were taking you. i only found out when they announced you to the world, that you were going to space to find life and another planet to go to... and i made it my duty to find you guys. i picked up on radio frequencies before it all went out, and it took me awhile, but i'm here."

venus's face softened a bit, taking a step back to give her some space.

the girl smiled nervously, pushing some hair back from her face.

"i loved you guys. i still do. i'm synnove, i'm your older sister," she looked to one the guards, motioning towards her pocket, and he nodded.

she took a picture out of her pocket, showing a picture of her, their mom, and a... man with his face scribbled out.

"that's mom, that's me, and..." she paused, a small frown coming to her face, "that's father," her voice was a bit quieter before she pointed at their mother, to her stomach. "and there you guys are."

looking up, she smiled. "sadly, mother isn't here with us anymore. she wanted to love you, but she wanted to please father more and get rid of you guys. even when she agreed, it didn't work out. he killed her, and i was put into a foster home," she smiled sadly, putting the small picture back into her pocket.

"so-"

before synnove could say anything more, venus and jupiter were hugging her, and she was stunned at first, before returning the embrace.

"sister," jupiter murmured, closing her eyes.

"yeah, i am," synnove said softly, laughing.

venus could feel tears forming in her eyes, but didn't dare let them spill. she wished she could stay like this forever, hugging her sister, having both of her sisters with her and around people she trusted and loved. maybe... maybe everything wasn't so bad after all.

Journal entry 523

Its been so long since the bombings, so long. Yet they still haven't managed to pull civilization back together. I haven't seen any other life in a while, save for the large wild boars that seem to have taken up residence in the wasteland. Not that I ever really wanted too.

Today brought large dust-clouds. not to bad that I cant function, but dangerous. The winds have picked up too. My donkey was restless today too. So far this valley has been safe. But I am worried.

Whn I was checking my traps this evening, I thought I saw a large quick movement through the bushes. I may be being followed. It could be those raiders again. But I know them, they are usually more careful, they would not do this. perhaps a spy from a nearby settlement? Either way kalons are trouble. Though I have grown fond of my shack, it may be time to move on. I can not allow myself to let sentiment stand in-front of survival.

One more night here to rest and gather my belongings. Maybe the clouds will pass by then.

Dear Diary,

Well I guess we're alone again, diary. I thought I could find my way back to the others, it was just I quick stroll. But there were these huge dust clouds, you should have seen them. Oh wait no you are a book. Anyway I am sure we will find them but for tonight Ill have to find shelter. I can do that later of course. while i was exploring this new place, I found these really sweet berries! they were blue and I didn't die. Bone-crusher would be so proud! He is always saying I need to be more independent.

This place also had some cool wild pigs with horns. I would have pet them but then I found some really nice flowers. You know how much I love flowers! they were blue too! The stems had thorns unfortunately so i only picked one. The Stars are coming out now. Before all this I would have loved to have stayed out and enjoyed the ambience, but the other always tell me there's danger in dark places. I should listen to them, they know what they are talking about.

Ok thanks, diary. I am going to go sleep in a tree now. goodnight.

Today I took one last look at this place I've grown to love. I have packed up everything and saddled up my donkey. I found an old bandana my father used to wear, it will help with the dust, which seems to have gotten worse.

Trying out for: Bram Hitchcock
New name: Aeris
Gender: Agender

-------------------------------

Playlist:

Such Is Time

-------------------------------

In the beginning, Aeris was given everything on a silver platter. They were wild and brash, content on skipping lessons and exploring the planet alone. Their parent was the one to oversee their land which meant more time for them to goof off and enjoy their freedom weather it be something as exciting as desert surfing with bandits or as simple as sunbathing in a meadow for days on end. Sure their parent tried to rein them in, teach them the importance of the "balance of the universe" but Aeris was young and ignorant.

Their hot-hotheadedness was bound to get them into fights and arguments not only with authority but with the people and creatures of the lands. Deep down they knew they weren't prepared for the weight of the world upon their shoulders but they figured that while there's still time they could be responsible for their own actions, no matter how idiotic it may seem.

Diplomacy was never their strong suit, though Aeris sat through many meeting and accompanied entourages on missions in order to learn, it was just too boring. They could never sit still in one spot for too long let alone participate in meetings that lasted weeks. They were of the earth and therefore should participate in other activities, not be cooped up indoors.

However, there were those nights Aeris looked to the stars and really thought about their life. Evert planet in their galaxy was connected to a life force, one being in which their livelihood and the energy of their home planet were so interconnected that they felt and suffered as the other did. One day when it is their parent's time to return to the earth millennia from now, it would be Aeris' turn to rise up and be that link. The responsibility of it all made them shudder, but there was time.

In reality, there was none. Their parent fell ill and the planet suffered for it. Crops, flora, fauna, everything seemed to be ill or dying. Monsoons ravaged the seas and windstorms made passage through the deserts and valleys next to impossible. Aeris tried their best to look after their parent, to soothe the aches, create salves for the illness, any trick in the book to save them, to give themself more time. But it was not meant to be; in the dead of night as Aeris prayed to the stars above the ring of their planet appeared around their neck, signalling their parent's passing and that they were now bound to the planet.

With the transference, the world began to heal slowly but surely, but it did nothing to soothe the sadness in their hearts. The world was cloudy and filled with rainstorms for weeks to come before Aeris begrudgingly accepted their fate.

They were young still, only a few thousand years old and buried themselves into studies no matter how much they longed to explore once more. They read up on cultures and etiquette, the many languages of the inhabitants of the planet and old notes left by the links before them. It was long going and arduous but Aeris had a slight grasp on things. Physical things that is, they still had a hard time coming to terms with just how much their emotions and well-being affected the planet and it would be many eras still before they relatively master their control.

There were two groups of creatures that Aris became quite fond of and in return, became curious themselves. Apparently, the Link never met in person with other species rather that's what the envoys were for. They simply came along to get a better feel for that part of the world. But if Aeris had anything to say about that is that times were definitely going to change. The Link shouldn't be far removed from their planet, they should be a part of it.

The Nagas were among the first Aeris met and the first to greet them with open arms. Their people were plentiful throughout the planet and were knowledgeable in the inner workings and state of the land. Nilto is the ambassador of the lowland Naga's and Katix of the highlands. Aeris was grateful that they took the time to teach them more about their culture as well as the surrounding areas, the concerns of the people and lessons that their parent should have been the one to teach.

the Underground, however, was something Aeris was never and probably will never be prepared for. Their parent only seemed to deal with surface matters but the appearances of multiple sinkholes led Aeris to discover the many civilizations that lived far beneath the surface. Since most of the beings there were not acclimated to sunlight or anything brighter than the natural bio-luminescence of their dwellings, Aeris was the one to venture down and establish relations.

Xal was a sight to behold. He stood nearly 35 feet tall with a tar-like ooze that coated his limbs. He was ancient, older than Aeris by at least 10,000 years and spoke with such grace they they could not help but to stay a while. There was much history to learn, too much that could not be condensed into a week but Aeris vows to make frequent trips back to learn more about their planet. If there was ever a being on this planet who would teach Aeris about patience, it would be him.

There are many who would take advantage of a Link who walks among the people and those who would inevitably try to bring them harm but with each meeting, Aeris feels confident that they have eons to make sure the planet stays healthy and thet it's inhabitants can thrive for generations to come.

Aeris is young, too young for the responsibility that they now hold but their life is an adventure and they will become a better more inclusive Link than their predecessors. They are bound to have many successes and failures but in each is a lesson and with each passing day they grow stronger.
