The Carrion King

Postby BornFromAshes » Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:21 am

i thought too much about creating a character with solid black eyes
and here he is

REAL SERIOUS QUESTION
would you guys participate in an "ask my characters" for my archdevils/related figures? I want to do some deep development with them but I find it hard to draw full scenes that encapsulate the particulars..
please let me know if you would!


lots of lore below, if you like to read~~

---


Cian Anwyn is a very olden individual from Celtic times. He was a druid to Morrigan, and was outcast from Ireland after it was evangelized. It was not necessarily because of his unwillingness to change, but his demonic appearance and heavy ties to death and darkness that he found it far easier to live outside Ireland than conforming to it. Plus, he wouldn't be a "real" myth to scare children, just a fictional one.

But he's very real. And though he has existed for many centuries, Cian has found that death is a persistent motif throughout the ages, and therefore he has been able to keep up with recent times through understanding ceremonial practices in death, burial, cremation, and resurrection. He's still considered a bogeyman to those who still remember the very old humanoid times in Ireland, but his appearance is much more accepted in modern days than those before.

Cian is a bound archdevil, which means he was born with a "shade" of an archdevil that lingered. Because of this, he had a connection to the supernatural realm and was elevated to a druidic status early on. Through a ritual, he was bound to his shade and his transformation began, which lead to the development of horns, feathers, black eyes and markings, and a shifting form which resembles a very monstrous magpie-creature, which can be considered a true "devil" form. He is the only known archdevil to have a fully devilish form that he can control autonomously.

Cian is a hot topic in government facilities, particularly because of his "immortality" and ability to predict death, as well as his deep supernatural roots and devil form. They've gotten very close to capturing him, but there are always circumstances that scramble the HBI's (humanoid bureau of investigation) plots.. it's not a good idea to mess with a goddess' direct ties to the mortal realm.

Cian is a vampire lord, the process having been part of the ritual for his bonding. The original "lord" that turned him has long been dead, having been hunted during the evangelization of Ireland. The old lord was not a good individual, of which Cian is aware and refuses to turn to those animalistic impulses unless out of desperation and fear.
