Oh oh!! I love them so much, I’m so pleased with how they came out, I’m glad you like them, too!

I actually used this tutorial by @cogesque to make them! The main difference was that I drew the vectors myself for the seashell and shark tooth, and the overlays were heavily edited! But if you head over to that link, you should be able to make your own just fine~

hello!!! i’m glad you love aevar, he was definitely one of those characters that i was indifferent about until i looked at him one day and realized how much i cared about his arc, and i’m VERY excited at the prospect of exploring it further in seventh siege :’)

but as for your first question, i wish i could say it was inspired by my pen name, ej aurelio, but my pen name was actually a product of the url! when i first made my blog two years back i was pretty unsure of how to do things, but i caught the usual naming conventions with writeblr urls: writes/books/stories/etc is typically added after a name or pen name, but as i’ve been trying to settle on a name for the past five/six years, i didn’t want to choose a name that i would change in a month. to save myself from having to change my url in the future i went with aurelio, meaning “golden”, because i liked the sound of it. i’ve definitely considered changing my url to the name of one of my projects or characters, but i’ve honestly gotten pretty attached to this one :’) 

@panic-at-my-sexuality asked me a similar thing! thanks to the both of you, and sorry i could only answer now lol. <3

in the story, we know that WYATT is a scientist and VRENHT is a retired blacksmith, now a tour guide! so i suppose both of those would carrying into the real world.

Ooo, thank you for the ask! I know exactly who I'm going to pick. *pulls Feren out of the neglected secondary character bin and drop kicks him to the front*

-Okay, so first off Feren is Adair's ex-boyfriend. They've known each other since they were about 6, but they spent a few years of Feren being a bully to Adair before they became friends and eventually dated. Even then he was still kind of a jerk, or at least he's just a really bossy, know-it-all person.

-Feren has a scar that runs across his face over his nose and below his eye from being in a cave during a rockfall. He managed to keep Adair and Nina safe by covering them with his body, but got injured in the process. (Nina's Adair's ex-girlfriend, still currently dating Feren until she comes to her senses and kicks him to the curb. Please, girl, kick him to the curb.) Feren took this as a sign of being a failure as a sentinel-intended because even though they were safe, he feels he should have predicted this happening, so he dropped the sentinel career option. Immediately. This says a lot about him because...

-If anything gets too hard, he decides not to do it. His occupation is "layabout" because he basically just hangs around Nina's restaurant avoiding doing any work.

-No magic and he’ll never ever forgive the world for not giving him this. Like Feren's a fluke as an Artisan because children born into Artisan families almost always have magic. This is where the entitlement comes from- he feels like he deserves more than life gave him. He's *brilliant* and could easily make a career as a scholar of some kind, but he doesn't think this is worth anything as a job, so he just... sits around at the restaurant, complaining about everything. And I mean everything. He doesn't have a nice thing to say ever.

-He's got choppy looking hair because he literally chopped it off because he’s melodramatic as heck. Sentinels (and anyone who's a Protectorate- the people who protect art and artists, which includes sentinels) always wear specific long braids to designate their occupation and when they fail at this or drop out, they cut their braid off. Feren, ever overdramatic, just left it choppy instead of styling it because he wanted to show the world how much of a failure he was. (Normally it's only people who are kicked out of the Protectorates who have to keep their hair choppy for a specific length of time. Like you do something really wrong and that gets done to you before you're kicked out. Feren was all “woe is me” and put himself through this.)

I’m in Cali right now visiting my sister, funnily enough! I was born here, but I live in Oregon. And I know what you mean!! I share a ton of interests with people on here, but I only know roughly one other person my age :’))
