Vela and Issa - Christmas 2018

Dec 23, 2018

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! It's a twofer this year, both Vela and Issa here to spread some cheer. Sadly, there's still only one candy cane to enjoy, but happily, neither Vela nor Issa mind a bit of sharing and caring. How nice of them!

I hope you all have, and are having, a wonderful season! It's been a rough year for a lot of people, but I'd like to think that the holidays still hold at least some small amount of magic, a little bit of happiness and warmth for everyone. Speaking of, I'm very happy to have finished this a day early for a change, and I'm looking forward to the warmth of my bed now that it's done... ^_^

Vela (character profile)

Nov 24, 2018

Part two of that pair of characters, this is Vela! Part elf and faerie, of the Paeran variety, Vela and Issa both roam and explore the wilds outside of the city together, deterring dangers, patrolling for oddities, and naturally indulging every so often on the would-be adventurers they come across in their wanderings. :D'

In contrast to Issa's quieter nature, Vela is talkative, excessively so at times. She takes particular interest in the subject of language, of words and wordplay... swear words especially, she does keep it in moderation but she absolutely loves collecting the myriad of different profanities the human races have come up with. Besides this, she's just as much a tease as Issa, the two of them making a potent duo when good targets present themselves.

I'll have to explore the rough story prompt I'd had for these two, later. A bit of a teaser I can give is that it is/would be centered upon a human character, a rather small mage girl trying to come to grips with the far wilder and more dangerous magics of Paeratopa. A rather volatile undertaking, given that something as "simple" as conjuring a ball of fire may just as easily turn to a self-destructive explosion. Nothing quite so dangerous as to constitute a threat to the city itself, but enough still to draw both Vela and Issa's attentions, much to this hapless mage's dismay...
