#pravus

Omg, out of all of these, I actually have this one in my back pocket already LOL

Bonus:

💞 : Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?💋 : Is your OC a good kisser? How do they do it?💪 : What is your OC’s most physically attractive attribute?🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?👀 : Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?

💞 : Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?

I think both Pravus and Sebastian view it with significant emotional weight for different reasons, but there was probably a time in Seb's early life, before he settled down, that he had the occasional fling or one night stand and saw it much more casually.

As a demon at present though, his perspective on it is very, very different. His contract has taken everything else from him-- all he asks is it doesn't take this, too.

-

For Pravus, it takes a very, very significant amount of trust. Touch at any capacity does, but allowing someone access to his body to that level would be a terrifying thing in any other circumstance.

💋 : Is your OC a good kisser? How do they do it?

I'm not sure about Pravus to be honest LOL at least at first, considering the lack of experience. Though once it's gotten to that point, its not for the lack of want.

-

Sebastian however, I think he'd have this category in spades😆 man probably treats a normal tuesday kiss like its his first sip of water after a few days in the desert. He's very outwardly affectionate and passionate. He might not be good at many things but what he DOES have is charisma lolol

💪 : What is your OC’s most physically attractive attribute?

Wow this is a little embarrassing, I'm not sure how to answer this one for either of them LOL

Physical attractiveness is subjective for most people so the only way I can think to answer this is from my own point of view. Or I guess maybe their respective partners. And neither of their partners seem to be giving me any one specific answer 🤣

I dunno. I like drawing slender male forearms I guess?? lmao

🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

This one I have better answers for lol

From a subjective standpoint, I think for Pravus it's his intelligence and adaptability. The ability to think on his feet quickly and come up with clever solutions despite all the setbacks he's gone through. It also makes him open to change in the right environment.

-

Sebastian though, at his best, I'd like to think is a very funny, charismatic, passionate man. A yearner in every sense of the word 🤣In life, he wore every bit of his heart on his sleeve. Which is often what got him into trouble.

👀 : Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?

I dont think Pravus has a single, solitary clue about it LOL. I don't think he's ever had any kind of opportunity for a frame of reference for it.

19. [Pravus] What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

For Pravus I think the biggest thing if I were to boil it down to one thing, it's the growth he sees. That's kind of my main intention with his whole story— that he's free to choose who he wants to be regardless of where he came from or how he might be perceived. That nothing about him is as set in stone as he thinks. It makes less sense right now because we're not that far into the story, but the supporting characters that (eventually) surround him I think are truly what makes him as a character shine. Because Current Pravus in the comic is pretty prickly and unlikable (my least favorite— early story Pravus LOL), but that's kind of by design. Gotta show where he's coming from first before showing where he ends up, after all.

Despite having more than a hundred pages up for Pravus already…I feel like we've barely even touched the surface of the exposition XD; But we'll get there! Its just on hiatus right now while I finalize writing the ending

He has so much capacity for good and trust. Despite everything he's gone through. You'll find few people more loyal if he's given proven evidence that you're to be trusted. But right now, everything he's ever known about existence is pain. Earth has been his first exposure to even having the option to avoid it, and so he's dumped every drop of his energy toward survival, and learning how to never, ever, end up back in that situation ever again. It's a hard thing to break through without some external nudging XD;

12.[Seb] Do you have a playlist for the character? What songs do you associate with them and why?

Oh no. I have SO many songs for Sebastian XD I think more than any of my characters, he's who I associate with music the most, and he was originally actually inspired by a song and genre of music.

I believe it was this song that originally inspired him! And although I've found many songs that fit his personal story better now, it's interesting to look back at where he started. Listening back to it, the song fits the theme of the overall universe in his story; though maybe less Seb specific.

Most of the songs I find that resonate with him are under the category of "Southern Gothic". I've always kinda. Hated nashville-style country music personally. I was around too much of it growing up. Southern gothic and folk usually tell stories, and these generally have a darker overtone to them. A lot of his playlist is Lord Huron, Blue Saraceno, Johnny Cash, The Brothers Bright sort of stuff.

This is his entire playlist that's accumulated over [checks notes] ten years? Man. Until recently I hadn't drawn him or wrote for him much but at a time I probably drew Sebastian more than any of my characters. I originally thought he'd be a novel, but I'd ran into a wall writing him. Didnt get back to it until recently. So he's accumulated a LOT of music

Out of all the music though— and there's a lot of music that fits him— a lot of Lord Huron's songs fits him almost to a T. To the point it's a little spooky. The short story version is we were staying at a cabin waayy in the middle of the woods I think last year, and it had a record player. It was the first record player I'd ever listened to. And the cover art for the record (Strange Trails) immediately caught my eye out of the entire box of records. We started playing it and I just kinda. Slowly looked up realizing how close the lyrics are to a character I've shelved for so many years XD; It was such a surreal experience. World Ender is the song that was playing at the cabin, but Balancer's Eye REALLY fits him.

I'll add these for fun too, ughh.

"How many people will die in the time we spend discussing this? I can't let this happen again. I won't."

I'm not sure how many of the arcana cards I'll get through but I wanted to do this one at least, hehe~

I can't remember the last time I drew both boys in a piece together intentionally like this, not a character study sort of thing, in...it might be close to a decade now??? omg.

This is actually my main working script for the whole comic for Pravus! ❤️ me and my one word titles...😅

I have a separate document for my outline, but this one is the full document with all the dialog and everything.

Ooo... it's hard to pick a single snippet....this is a fun one, haha!

Since this is just a script, the prose for this is a little short-handed and rough. I don't have to worry about writing out full descriptions when I adapt it to page work. Only the dialog and little stage direction notes for myself kinda. Like how I want the body language in the scene to read, or how things in the scene should pace or flow etc.
