Kind of Chronological Order of the Appearances and joinings to the Borealis cast. (People from that Nidus world)

From Aurora -> Rhea -> Derek -> Phillipa -> Tarqai -> Liahann -> Hyde -> Wrenward -> Zenith -> G1sel.

Wrenward is a new addition, a replacement. I will talk about them sometime.

Right now, each of these pages have two images, that correspond to the cast interacting together to show some kind of relationships with one another in the upper pictures, and an important event and/or trauma in their past on the lower pictures. As they are in order, characters are added up one by one as the pages progress, up until two characters appear simultaneously twice, leaving things ambiguous. Seems like only Hyde and Liahann seem to have less hurtful memories to deal with at that present point of time.

(I definitely need to ponder how to draw my silly sweet treats and drinks in the future, but they do their job well enough. I've located many weaknesses in my process during the drawing of these in the past monts. Another thing of concern too, is that I need to focus more attention toward the fantastical elements of Nidus outside of the demons, as that has been neglected for some time. Stranger locales and possibilities. Outside of that, I am elated that these were completed, imperfections and all. It is always most important to complete things to whichever degree is comfortable and enjoy the fruits of one's labour. That's how one maintains love for their craft in my case, though honestly I might also have the advantage of being obsessed with this shit, so any progress feels intoxicating at times.)

"I paint my face with glitter in the morning light..."

from: Daisy the Great - Glitter Or, this drawing started with that song, though I didn't end up following it religiously to the end. But its still a core part of this one.

Liahann, in somewhat warped surroundings. Preparing for another day, even if she'd rather sleep throughout the whole thing to stumble into another restless night, uncleaned dishes and rooms, dead plants and depression. Looking back toward the much more unruly and devilish younger self. Was she stricken with lunacy back then, or is she still carrying it with her?

I just really thought she'd fit into this song very well, after the Borealis storyline concludes and some stuff happens.

Aeternae, the "demons", are inhabitants of Nidus that popped into existence 20 000 years ago, or around that long ago before the 'Borealis' timeline. They have existed alongside the Truvae, Nidus humans, ever since. The demons have called the humans "Truvae", and the humans called them "demons" in turn, resulting in long-lasting nicknames and perhaps a reasonable-yet-brutal misunderstanding in between the peoples. There is a common desire among the Aeternae to just be considered another intelligent race next to the humans, as equals, but historical events and earlier human superstitions have been causing trouble in between the races for thousands of years. The people dubbed 'demons' have accepted this nickname to a degree, reclaiming it over time. In truth, a fair majority of their race love the Truvae to great degree, and wish for coexistence without major hiccups, but the road has been harsh - originally Nidus was only to be enjoyed by the humans, but this sudden appearance of the first Archdemons and their subsequent children left an impact of great proportions their peoples have to treat with care even to the age 'Borealis' takes place. Nowadays only the Aeternae remember not having always been on this planet - they were not born from the hands of evolution as far as they know. It also stands to reason why the Aeternae have receded from the main continents to develop their culture and life upon another, much smaller continent, way beyond not all known oceans (back in the day). There are the Flux reasons, but also it is for the control too to keep their seaports and borders tightly under lock-and-key. Immigrants are allowed, but the old fears see that trickle happen very slowly, and any deportees have their memories wiped.
