Mythos Official

With our own introductions out of the way, let's introduce our four main cast members. Conveniently, each of them was created by one of the mods, so we'll go through them the same way.

—————

Mod Caide: Jackie is (or, at least, quickly becomes) the leader of the group and is more or less the main protagonist of the story, though all four of them share that role. They're an excessively outgoing, bold, and flirtatious person with plenty of wit and charisma to spare. Obscured beneath their outgoing and chaotic nature is an attentive and calculating, occasionally even cold person. Jackie isn't afraid to solve things with violence, and they'll do just about anything for the one thing they truly care about—their friends. I look forward to sharing much more about my favorite genderless chaos gremlin with you all in due time.

Mod Kj: Strade's booming personality is shown by his witty remarks and unsavory decision making skills. In combat, he is a highly aggressive fighter and will do anything to win and get his way. While he is coarse and quick to come to conclusions, he is also a very hearty person in times of peace. A sociable man to his core, he thrives on the companionship of others, he cherishes the bond he has with the members of his group. Strade's quick witted remarks can also come out as offensive and belligerent, sometimes in the least appropriate situations, like dire moments where a wrong word can mean losing a hand.

Mod Tag: Sam fills more of a support role in the group's function. He's a quick learner, inquisitive, and a self taught healer. Sam prefers to stay out of the way in combat, favoring his bow over aggressive melee fighting, and that sentiment extends to most social situations. To those close to him, Sam's an eternal optimist who believes in the best of others, but outside of his circle, he can seem reserved and protective. He presents himself as simply a helping hand, though perhaps there's more to Sam than even he's aware of.

Meet Ser Narkais, commander of the Akkhilian Raiders and one of the side characters you'll all eventually get to meet in the Mythos series. This wonderful art is a commission by a Fiverr artist named Vivek! You can find their profile here.

Now, I've no clue when I'll actually be able to make the main story of Mythos, and even then it'll be a long while before we get to the part where Narkais here first appears. That's just way too long to wait, isn't it?

Hello everyone! I've returned from my previous hiatus and have a few things to announce, so let's get right into those. Starting with...

Tales of Mythos

I have decided to start writing and self-publishing short stories taking place in the world of Mythos. These might feature past events form the lore and history of the world, backstories for major characters, stories focused on some of the side characters, etc.

I think these will be a great way to build out the world and stretch my creative muscles until I have the skills/funding/manpower/etc to produce the webcomic.

The short stories will all be part of a collective series known as Tales of Mythos. I'll self-publish each of the stories on Amazon's e-book store, so keep an eye out for future releases.

On that note, the first entry in the Tales of Mythos series is already out! Of Monsters and Men follows the story of a Human wizard and his encounter with a terrifying monster known as a Carrion. Go check it out now if you're interested!

Blog Updates

I've gone through and edited most of the old posts on the blog to give things a more professional tone in light of the new short story series.

For the same reason, I've also decided to be a bit stricter with what information to release publicly, as I'd prefer for the community to be able to naturally develop and learn about the world and lore as I release more stories.

I will try to maintain the somewhat professional tone here from now on, but don't worry, it'll still be the same old me behind the wheel.

Having the stories to work on should help me with my ever-present motivation issues and ensure you guys get more art and more posts in general here as I put more time and focus into Mythos stuff.

In Addition...

You may remember that there was previously a post and link on the blog for a Mythos Wiki, both of which have since been deleted. The wiki was previously hosted on Fandom, but I decided to delete it for two reasons:

The wiki contained a large amount of information that I no longer wished to make public now that I'm going forward with the short stories, as I'd instead like the community to be able to form and build up that information naturally.

Fandom sucks as both a platform and a company for a variety of reasons and I no longer wished to use or associate with it.

That said, I do still really like the idea of a wiki as a method of organizing information, and so I decided to make a new one.

The new Mythos Wiki is based on Miraheze, and you can find it at mythos.miraheze.org! It's in very early stages but I plan to continually update it as I release more Mythos content. If anyone else wanted to help contribute to it (especially if you know anything about CSS, which I do not), feel free as well.

You thought it would be "meet the cast" again, huh? You've all had some time to get used to me, but I'm not the only person behind Mythos. Today, I'll formally introduce you to some of the dear friends on the Mythos team.

I'm the original creator of Helena (himbo, disaster bi, strong lady, Best Girl) - you can read a little about her in her intro post here, but there's so much more to her character and I can't wait to talk about her more!!!

I also briefly worked as our storyboard artist, back when we were going to make a Mythos webcomic. I'm the only one on the team who can't draw at all, but I do have a good sense for poses/layouts and formatting, and I had a lot of fun turning writing into a comic layout! I also proofread when I have the time (strictly grammatical. I haven't been involved with the Mythos story in two years and I don't remember a whole lot of the plot. Sorry Caide).

My other main contribution is immediately falling in love with Lii when she was first introduced, which set up Helena/Lii as one of our big romantic plotlines. I'm excited to talk about them more in the future, too :D
