#ferely

Alright, in no particular order:

Ocaelum: Was deemed a worthless, dead plane by Gitaxian surveyors, since Realmbreaker emerged in the skies of various plane. As such, Ocaelum's inhabitants didn't even notice anything happen.

Moloni: The specifics of Moloni make defense of Sources orders of magnitude easier than attacking them, which worked out mostly good for the defense of the cities and castles... But not so great for the rest of the plane. Thankfully, the invasion was short enough that most of these bastions didn't run out of food or water or lose a siege, however, there might be upcoming issues from the logistic support of them taking such heavy hits. And maybe much worse if Realmbreaker dug deep enough into the ground to pierce the Nullstone layer and trigger another tectonic eruption.

Winrovah: Ah. Well, Winrovah didn't have much of a defense to put up in the first place, and Realmbreaker evolving in the Blind Eternities means it was protected from the effects of Aether and Void there. However, the same could not be said of Phyrexians it carried. Overall, a lot of death and devastation, and Winrovah didn't need that, particularly when things were looking not-as-grim for the first time in decades.

Geonne: Probably did the most averagely of all these, but it's mostly because I know the least about it. Probably more chimeras there than before, both compleated and not. The hybrids there leave room for a lot of peculiar compleations.

Ferely: Ferely had organized angels and really possessive archdemons that didn't want to lose their people to new masters. There were losses, but none of the archdemons fell or embraced compleation, so the worst was avoided. However, probably some compleated Saints and Apostates that created a bit of Havoc.

Name: Dolores (Fiora), Patior (Kylem), Soufe (Whenever she had to deal with the authorities),… She uses a different alias on every plane, keeps her real name to herself outside of Ferely, and her full real name to herself period. Pronouns: She/Her Species: Azra Age: 19 Plane of Origin: Ferely First Planeswalk: Fiora Colors: Black/Red Appearance (and/or Art): She’s a soft purple, 5'8" (plus horns) azra with darker purple tattoo-like marks on the skin of her left half, forming curves and edges marking her heritage. Dark hair and a toned body that’s stronger than it looks… Not more than what a human could though. Backstory: Her childhood isn’t that remarkable, she was sent to train at a hospital to help people, and found… Other applications to the painkilling spells. She sparked during a particularly intense night a little more than a year back, and ended up in Trest, where she worked with progressively more important people there as a torturer.

She’s from a fanplane, Ferely, where Azra are numerous and as varied as the other species that mixed with them. Names are important for them and only an individual knows their true name, as well as their spouse in some marriages.

She was then requisitioned by Leovold in Paliano, where she’s been applying her skills getting answers to questions. She’s double dipping, having contracted some work for Marchesa too (and planning to expand it to others possibly). She tells both of her bosses that she’s a double agent in the other’s camp, and plans to expand that to more of the factions.

She feels very clever, but her bosses absolutely know what she’s doing and are playing along as long as it allows them to use her. Magic, gear and/or abilities: She can use her own pain and others’ as fuel for her magic, either moving it around (possibly to other people), focusing or spreading it, or generating light, heat or forces.

She does not carry much around  for weapons, a couple small blades and sometimes a whip. Also, some sort of caltrops designed to hurt as much as possible without causing damage to a body. Card:

Let’s see, I’ll make non-comprehensive lists because that’s a lot of different species.

Winrovah: Humans, goblins, elves, leonins, nagas, gnomes, djinns, wurms, drakes, serpents, elementals, demon(s), angels, hydras, sphinges, dragons, aetherborn versions of most of those, and maybe a few more species that are extinct or even closer to extinction than the rest, since the end of the world isn’t being kind on ecological preservation.

Dragons on Winrovah were formerly a powerful force, and loosely organized too. Like most iconics, what happened to the plane wasn’t kind of them, and most were too proud to ask for any help. There aren’t really many large enough hunting grounds to sustain dragons anymore on the plane, so even the ones that didn’t die from the destruction or in fights mostly died from hunger, or raided settlements which further worsened conditions for people living there and only delayed the inevitable for the dragons. Like most iconics, there’s only a handful of Dragons left on the plane, exact numbers are incertain.

Moloni: Humans, elves, nagas, viashinos, dwarves, griffins, Guardians (Angel, Sphinges, Demons, Dragons and Elementals), probably others.

Dragons on Moloni are Guardians, born from, controlling and defending a Source of magic. Dragons tends to see their Source and magic as their treasure. While some do hoard it for themselves, most have understood that sharing it doesn’t remove it from their possessions, allows others to gaze upon their treasure, and can be negotiated for other kinds of things they might value... But not be able to obtain without leaving their source. Wild dragons can protect a Source fiercely, making sure nobody else lives in its surrounding, but most civilized ones have a more mercantile state of mind.

The Federation of Cyr’s capital, Ganara, has five Guardians, one for each color, leading it. The dragon is called Protacus, he’s in charge of Cyr’s diplomacy, and can temporarily possess his emissaries as long as they’re within range of a Source, allowing him to be one of the very few Guardian that can travel beyond their own source’s influence.

Geonne: Mostly undevelopped, but Geonne is mostly human... Kind of. Geonne’s magic allows humans to fuse with another creature in some situations (or rituals), which means the plane contains a lot of subspecies based on most types of animals and creatures.

Dragons on Geonne are more legends of the past than reality. If they exist still, they’re hiding well.

Ferely (not entirely mine): Ferely has humans, elves, minotaurs, azras, angels, (a handful of very powerful) demons, probably dragons but haven’t developed them yet... Probably more. Sapient species are way more intermixed on Ferely than on most planes, though, the demon blood that spawned the azras in the first place allows for reproduction between all sorts of species that would normally be incompatible, so belonging to a species is more a matter of choice than anything there.

Ocaelum (not entirely mine, but my version might be separate at this point): Humans, merfolks, elves, coralfolks, giant sentient Lifetrees, dwarves, dragons, and then the amphibious Family made up of many species, but the main two are Lutrives (otterfolks) and Axoltians (Axolotl-based species) with rarer ones like Ghavaleks like Arnoss. Add to that a thriving marine ecology ranging from plankton to giant sea monsters of all sorts.

Starting the year, I think I'm giving new cards and some associated   summaries for the few of my fanwalkers that I got art for, the next in   alphabetical order is Dolores! Her art was commissioned (traded for? Exchanged? Gifted?) a bit  ago to the amazing @rhystique.

Dolores (Red-Black) is a fairly young azra from the fan-plane of Ferely, specialized in pain magic. She doesn't expand much on her past and sparking, so I won't either. As an Azra from Ferely, Dolores is not Dolores's real name, but it is one (of many) of the ones she uses, because her real name would give power over her to those who would know it. As a planeswalker, she tends to have one or two different names for every plane. Dolores is the one she uses on Fiora, where she currently lives, and what I'll refer to her as for simplicity. Her nature also involves the markings on her skin, of a deeper purple than her skin generally is, and that she had from birth. As other Azras from her home plane, those marks denote her whole ancestry tracing back to the demon who spawned her lineage, not that anyone (but maybe those demons) can decode it.

Speaking of Fiora, Dolores currently works and lives in Paliano, where she lends her services as a torturer to multiple of the factions there. She thinks she's tricking all of them into thinking she's infiltrating the others' organization, but people aren't fooled by it and are just playing along as long as she's very useful and not a liability. Officially, she's a minor noble part of Leovold's delegation from Trest, having landed on Fiora in Trest and ended up working for the elf before he was sent to Paliano.

Her magic allows her to manipulate, move around, concentrate and use as fuel pain. She can also turn it into heat, light or forces. However, it also means her magic is mostly ineffective if she doesn't have access to a source of pain, and she can't cause it directly.

As a torturer, she sees herself above most others, and prides herself into being very good at it. She also will tout herself as a more "humane" alternative if she thinks it can land herself a job, since she usually torture people very well without causing any lasting physical damage. She also is aware of some of the issues with torture's reliability, and has some ways to work around those. She works mostly in Paliano (there's a LOT of work there) but isn't above taking jobs in other places if someone manages to contact her.

Ferely? Ferely is not very well developed, things taking shape mostly as guidelines for characters coming from it. It's where Relics are from, be it Ecxilet's or The Cursetamer and her wife. The main focused continent is mostly dominated by the power of a religious organization, the Church of Infinite Reflections, and parts of it are modeled roughly after medieval France (iirc). Angels wear the face of those that see them, the Church is a force of good even though their good intentions are sometimes don't lead to the best actions.

Azras are my babies, and species are complicated. Demon lords aren't that evil either.

There's also incarnations of personality traits roaming around, but @rhys-the-redeemable is more familiar with those.

Pronouns: He/Him

Race: Aspect (embodiment of an Emotion)

Colors: R

Age: ???

Origin plane: Ferely (fan plane)

Stuck on: Ravnica (temporarily planebound)

Appearance: Generally appears human. 6'6" with yellow slit eyes, and fiery red hair, usually kept up in a ponytail. Generally scowling or grinning (if something is on fire, or his schemes are working). He has three marks under each eye. Has pointed ears and a forked tongue. His appearance isn’t specific to any race, as it is of his own design.

After feeding on someone’s anger, his eyes burn green-ish and his teeth get a bit sharper. The skin on his forearms becomes the color of his glass. His fingers also gain claws. This appearance wears off after a short while.

Abilities: he feeds on the anger of others and uses it to boost his own powers. He can also redirect the anger to other targets. His powers mainly comprise of wielding fire and forcing hot temperatures, but he can also use a defensive subset that forms glass. He doesn’t use it much, but if he’s being chased, or chasing someone, he’ll absolutely exploit it to its full potential of creating walls of glass. It’s incredibly fast cooling so there isn’t much chance of causing damage with it, but it’s good to create roadblocks and traps. He can keep it molten if he’s touching it, but it’s really not as combat efficient as his regular fire, so it’s more of a defensive move. He can eat glass and have it bubble up from his skin to create an armor-like coating, if he needs to. He’s also immune to the effects of heat and fire.

He wears a light blue shirt and white pants with pieces of silver metal and orange glass armor. His main weapon is a pair of metal, clawed gauntlets that he can channel fire through. His boots are the same, but he seldom uses them as any sort of conduit for the fire.

Card (made by @niuttuc )

Pronouns: He/Him

Race: Aspect (Embodiment of an emotion)

Colors: BR

Age: 56 (in this iteration)

Origin plane: Ferely (fan plane)

First planeswalk: Innistrad

Appearance: Generally appears human. 6'3" with dark hair and hazel eyes. He tends to wear a smug look most of the time. He has a scar across his right eyebrow.

After feeding on someone’s pride, his eyes burn amber and his teeth get a bit sharper. The skin on his forearms turns pitch black and his fingers gain claws. This appearance wears off after a short while.

Art by @aero-zero

He wears collared navy blue coat with gold detailing and trim. Underneath he has a skin tight black shirt with light blue bands around the neck and arms. Black pants with a light blue pattern down the sides to match the whole ensemble. Often wears knee high boots with gold lacing. He carries two crossbows (pistols?) named “Me & Myself”, and a short shotgun named “I”.

Abilities: he feeds on the pride of others to boost his own powers. The more pride someone has, the more power Ego has over them. He can dole out sickness (manifests as vomiting), hallucinations, and actual injuries (usually internal) depending on how much power he has over them. He can also have a degree of control over actions depending on how prideful the target is. It can range to basic suggestion, to outright puppeteering the target. He can transmit his power over someone by flicking his ichor like blood onto the target. This will generally make them ill, no matter their Pride as it is toxic in general. This power isn’t used often, because he rarely bleeds and finds it unnecessary to use it most of the time.
