EDIT: WordPress says there’s a critical error while trying to upload the images. I’ll upload them when said error is resolved.

This one took me quite a while – especially when it came to figuring out how to get the masking and other stuff right for the small details, like on the face and such, and to a lesser extent the tail. Still it was all worth it in the end, I’d say.

This is ga’Eid Kemerre (pronouns vary, as they are genderfluid), another character from our story, and another fictive in our DID system (we have a lot). ga’Eid has quite a long story – too long for me to type up right now, since I’m still in the process of waking up. The short version is that they’re an autonomous avatar of Neziro, a demigod-like person, which Neziro didn’t actually tell them until like a few centuries after creating them despite creating ga’Eid for a specific purpose, but multiple factors (including the fact that they never aged, and their lack of any memories from before waking up in the middle of a field one day) indicated to them that their existence wasn’t natural, which led them to conclude that someone artificially made them for a specific purpose. They didn’t like the idea of living their life on someone else’s terms, so they decided to do their own thing instead. Over the next few centuries, they:

-Made up a name for themself after hearing a few different names from some travelers and trying to come up with a vaguely similar-sounding name

-Fled from the Delourge, a growing tyrannical empire

-Fell in love

-Lost the person they loved to the Delourge

-Ate a bunch of poisonous toads

-Became effectively immune to poison due to exposure (their specie, the dendago, is already pretty resistant)

-Went back and served as the master spy of the Milandrian revolution against the Delourge

-Got their arm mangled and eye blasted apart due to debris from an explosion (they decided to keep it that way even after later advances in biomancy allowed their restoration, since the changes to their body made said body feel like their own instead of someone else’s; plus, the utility prosthetics are pretty nice)

-Lost a few more body parts along the way, and got them replaced with utility prosthetics that were designed to look exactly like the original body part (most of them are just hollowed out, allowing the storage of various poisons and, to a lesser extent, antidotes, in case of accidental poisoning of others)

-Found an enchanted ring they can use to switch sexual characteristics at any time, which was very helpful for their genderfluidity

-Achieved victory, and helped found the Kingdom of Milandria

-Lived a post-revolution life of hunting pirates in order to build a contact network among the Remiel Merchant League in hopes of getting info about their origins

-Went a little insane due to the combination of nobody finding any new info for them and the fact that their friends and loved ones kept dying

-Spent a night with Âgnâmmât, a giant sea dragon who was also the goddess of seas and storms, and unknowingly conceived a child with her

-Returned to Milandria, which had begun transitioning from the Kingdom of Milandria to the Milandrian Union, a quasi-nation consisting of communes governed by a collection of regionally-interconnected, locally-managed, non-hierarchical worker-owned guilds during the 15 years or so they were gone

-Got back into the spy business, which gave them something to do but didn’t stop their pain from accumulating

-Also got into philanthropy, which also didn’t help them feel any better

-Adopted a son named Madün

-Tried to train Madün to take their place as the world’s greatest spy because they thought they couldn’t keep at it any longer

-Lost their home to the devil invasion

-Found out where they came from when Neziro arrived to help defend against the devil invasion

-Immediately didn’t trust Neziro

-Found out from their fellow avatars that Neziro was actually an abusive parent and brutal dictator with a messiah complex so extreme that he felt that anything and everything he did was morally justified as long as he could use whatever twisted abortion of logic he could produce to convince himself that it was helping in the war effort against the devils

-Realized that they were just continuing the cycle of abuse with Madün, committed themself to being a better parent

-Encountered Lilisunna, the daughter they unknowingly had with Âgnâmmât when she tried to hunt him down as revenge for making her only half-dragon instead of full-dragon

-Subdued Lilisunna, committed themself to being the best parent they could be to her in addition to Madün while also helping her to un-learn her racist ideas against the dendago due to feeling robbed of full draconic power by being half-dendago

-Ended up fighting, along with others, against both the devils and Neziro

-Won said fight

-Started to feel better after getting closure regarding their origins and identity

-Did some research into Neziro’s history and that of the group he was formerly affiliated with

-Gained godlike powers from the cosmic enlightenment gained through said research

-Revived their first lover

-Moved to Versoli, the nearest planet to Ufera (the planet the story so far has taken place on)

-Gave up their godlike powers because they didn’t really want to use them for anything other than what they already accomplished with said powers

-Established diplomatic relations between Versoli and Ufera

-Tried to find the source of the “Dark Plasma” which created the devils, which there was reason to believe was on Versoli

-Started investigating a cult on Versoli

-Got their investigation interrupted by a new war that began to threaten all life on Ufera between the Milandrian Union and the Remiel Merchant League after I (Amarin) ended up uncovering the RML’s use of slaves to mine adamantium

-Helped win said war

-Resumed their investigation of the aforementioned cult

-Etc..
