#rmau trueforms

It's Mr. Goodtimes for Day 16!!!

So, RMAU Scar is a little like Cub... But also different, XD. So. RMAU Scar is a Human/Fae Hybrid, with shapeshifting magics! However, his Fae abilities were mostly blocked - so he went into a Deal with the Vex with Cub. What Scar got out of the deal was the unlocking of his natural Fae abilities as well as giving him access to Vex abilities too. Due to being half-human, he doesn't exactly have a full Trueform, but he is able to display Vex and sometimes Fae traits, particularly when emotional.

So - due to him not having a full Trueform, I picked an Alt Skin to do in addition to showing his Vex trait-expressions. Looking back at it, Elf Scar would've been a great example of his shapeshifting abilities, but my friend suggested Lawyer Scar and I couldn't help but laugh and do it! And I really like how it turned out!!! If you've seen my standard and Zoo Scar designs, you'll have seen the leg-braces before - the ones he powers using his magics (both Fae and Vex). He also has a wheelchair that he uses on bad days or just when he doesn't feel like or need to walk, although I haven't drawn that yet. I think I talked about the braces in my Scar post last year, so I'll leave it at that this year and you can find that post or ask me questions if you wanna know more. Well, that and I'm still pretty pleased with how I designed them!

It's day two and it's time for Grian!!!

RMAU-Verse Grian is a Watcher! In RMAU, Watchers can be made by someone with Admin abilities staring into the Void for long enough that the Void stares back, and thus Changes them.

Day 29 is Skizz!!! Probably my second favorite Hermit currently too!

RMAU Skizz is an Angel, and Impulse's Antipode. I know I've been doing a lot of explaining about my lore here most days, but I'm... Kinda blanking on the Angel lore right now, lol, and I also know they're some of the ones I've talked about the most, so you can check out my pinned masterpost for the Angel lore I guess...

So. Skizz is the other design, alongside Impulse, that I've had mostly done before HADM this year. However - right as the month started, I decided I was going to add a few details things to his design. I got the scars added before the Disaster, but didn't get around to the glow and extra metal effects before I lost my original canvas. And then I didn't feel like doing a whole lot of drawing again today, and certainly not redrawing THIS whole complicated design, so I just added the details on top of the screenshot I had. Unfortunately, that affected the visual quality a little, so I'm adding the image I had before at the bottom too, so you can see details a little better! I am still super pleased with how the design turned out overall, and I'll probably redraw everything at some point so he looks a little clearer.

(also, like Impulse, there are two scars that are slightly differently colored and have Lore Relevance somewhere on Skizz, if you can spot them! ;D Also, feel free to ask me about what his OR Impulse's Galactic markings mean!!!)

Well howdy! It's Day 24 and that means Joe Hills!!!

So. RMAU Joe is something called an Unknown. The Unknown aren't exactly your typical species - any being can become an Unknown, because Unknown are created when a being or group of beings reach a certain level of "resonance" with the universe. There are some complete species that do fall under the Unknown as a species, but there are also plenty of individuals. Joe has never shared what he was Before becoming an Unknown, or how long ago that was, and he never really does anything that gives it away either. He's just Joe Hills, something Unknown. He can also use his abilities as an Unknown to either "astral project" as a Jhost (BeetleJhost? I don't know the Jhost lore) or "possess" the Juppet, or, as in the case of the drawing, something sort of both, XD.

Day 27 for Wels!!!

So! Wels is the one who's gotten a Lore update while trying to figure out a design to draw for HADM this year... RMAU Wels is still a human, but... Wels' homeworld has a very unique living metal. A metal that will resonate with certain people, certain Knights-to-be, and a metal from which they will ceremonially forge armor that is bound to their soul, leading to them being called Soul-forged! This Soul-forged Armor will take on a glow/aura when they want it to or they're truly in a fighting "groove". I think they'd have a matching weapon (typically a sword, and definitely a sword for Wels), but I didn't draw one this time... Also, this Soul-forged nature also applies to Hels, as Wels' clone! This nature is ALSO why Hels is a Warped Version of Wels - the status of being Soul-forged interfered with the cloning process.

Day 11 is Cubfan!

RMAU Cub is... unique. Previously a human Born-Moderator, Cub and Scar made a Deal with the Vex. You'll learn about Scar's side of the Deal on his day, but for Cub, that Deal involved and led to him becoming a Vex Hybrid. Meanwhile, after the Deep Dark was brought to the Dev-Overseen Worlds (aka your average, non-"wild" worlds), he also "bonded" to the Skulk, so now he's also sorta a Skulk Hybrid as well... So, he sorta has a Trueform, but it's much more "human" than everyone else's we've seen so far.

It's Xisuma day!!!

So. So, RMAU Xisuma is both a Voidwalker AND an Admin. Voidwalkers are similar to Watchers, in that they both came from beings staring so long into the Void that it stared back - it's just Voidwalkers came from Enderman instead of Admins. They're basically made of Void, and often kinda "wisp" towards their points... Uhhhhh, Voidwalker Admins are super rare, so rare that Xisuma was actually ostracized by his Splash (I've just decided that a group/clan of Voidwalkers is called a Splash) for it, and had to be rescued by Doomguy. (Yes Doomguy is canon to RMAU and is basically X and EX's dad... Because I felt like it, that's why.) They DO have Trueforms, as well as very limited shape shifting abilities - hence his normal lack of tail and more normal human proportions.

It's Day One of Hermit-a-Day May 2025! We're starting off with probably my current favorite Hermit too - it's ImpulseSV!!!

Before revealing my art though, I have to explain! Last year I did a series of drawings of every Hermit the way I standardly envision them, that is, as in my Realistic Minecraft AU - known fondly as the RMAU-Verse - which is basically a Minecraft but in a homebrew fantasy setting. I've made up and world-built races or lore tidbits for basically every Hermit, and you all got to see their Standard Everyday designs last year. THIS year, by popular demand (and my own original plan lol), you get to see the Trueforms of all the Hermits that have them, and alt skins of those that don't (with one exception who got a lore reworking just the other day and is getting an updated main design). But anyways, with that out of the way, without further ado: Trueform Impulse!!!

RMAU-Verse Impulse is a Telluris Demon - basically an earth/crystalline aligned Demon. You can read more about the lore behind Demons as a species by checking out their page via my pinned post! And I'm happy to answer any questions about my lore, designs, or world building as well!
