Tyalaskr is my oldest (surviving) OC, having been originally invented in his roughest, simplest form when I was 11 years old; this makes him 27 this year, which is a hell of a thing.
He's Riv's bestie. Possibly his boyfriend. Definitely his husband, but in the "for tax purposes" kind of way. They don't live in a region that has taxes, so nobody knows exactly what they mean by this. They were born on the same day!

Tyalaskr, my oldest original character and Kortha's "older brother." (It's complicated, he's technically her great-great-grand-uncle, but the social structure of their species simplifies family relationships; Tyal is an outlier in every respect already, so it's easier for everyone to just call him "brother.") He's the ancient, exhausted and disproportionate result of a crazy breeding experiment performed by the second queen of his hive, so he's a half-breed and hoo boy does it show.

Very old and barely cleaned up art of the majority of the main cast of my unfinished fantasy novel, because I realized that these are all trapped over on my old compromised blog and I'd like to have them over here.
Tsh'ander Clan West | Verrim kil Hadir vi Amalathae | Myn
Relia Eidanri | Asforahl | Marashac
Riv | Tyalaskr | The Meli
Deidric Carnelian-19 | Cieni *high whistle/click sound* | Kortha VI
This is roughly the order of introduction, if I'm remembering correctly, although it gets a little muddied after Tyalaskr.
Random nonsense about these freaks under the cut.
@felishaww : Tyalaskr (OC) in “What You See"
Tyal is my oldest original character; the unfinished novel from which he originates, The Indori Cycle, has been recast and recut a good dozen times since its inception, and somehow he always survives the chopping block. He comes out a little different every time, but he’s had more or less the same design since 2013 so I think he’s set at this point.

And here’s my boy, Tyalaskr. He is the smallest character in the cast and takes up the most space in his portrait, which is why it’s taken so long.
As the result of one of Highmother Kortha’s breeding experiments, Tyal is an uncomfortable blend between the last man-made “demon” species and the aur, which means he shouldn’t have a soul and other weird things. (He’s very orange in color, making him the only afiri with coloration outside the realm of blues and violets.)
He’s old and tired and determined to help where he can, but quite accustomed to no one ever knowing what he’s done (aside from his best friend). Needless to say, this makes getting swept up into the VERY PUBLIC mess with the indori a point of…frustration.
As usual, I’ll post a cleaner version once they’re all finished.

Indori character blurbs
Deidric -- What is a soul but a burdensome thing, all full of indecision and heartache? Be grateful that you'll never feel the weight of a soul in your chest; thank the stars you'll never know what it is to drown in sorrow. Relia -- The golden daughter of the gilded leader of a city carved from alabaster and bone, does she ever feel the pressure of a world's worth of expectations fighting to bury her alive? Tsh'ander -- Such work you've done, struggling through the woods into the world outside, taking everything and everyone with you. You've worked so hard, we love you, and we will never be more ashamed. Verrim -- When the sun reached down with all its hands and he only had one with which to reach back, is that when the light withdrew and left him to wade through the fire of foresight alone? Myn -- It's only in those private moments, when she closes her eyes and the world is reflected back through vision that has never seen the long road of forever. She settles, stills, sleeps. She never wants to be alone. Tyalaskr -- You've been out of place so long, perhaps you never had a place to begin with. There's no doubt it would have been so much better if this--if you--had never come to pass. Riv -- What have you done? You must return it to the cycle, return it to the heavens, remove it before the blackening reaches the coil of creation buried in your breath.
In which Tyalaskr is not pleased with his niece’s cohorts (and she isn’t either).
Fun fact: Tyal can’t completely close his mouth when he isn’t shifted to something a little less creepy because he has too many teeth. This is probably connected to the fact that his father’s species not only doesn’t have teeth, but lack mouths entirely.
Things I did on my hiatus, part one.
It was recommended while I was trying to get my head on straight that I do some things that were just for me, where other people’s opinions and preference didn’t matter, and I did my best to take this idea to heart.
These are all from the fantasy novel/series that I always used to describe as “the book I’ll never write.” While on hiatus I successfully completed the first three chapters (that’s over 20,000 words, by the way) and outlined the entire first book from start to finish. It actually works now, after a lot of rework and a complete cast restructure--about half the original cast was cut entirely and replaced, although the other half mostly just went through design changes from the last attempt to write it, way back in 2008. The oldest of these characters was originally created when I was about 10-11 years old, so it’s been a long time to refine and rework the older cast members.
Tsh’ander, at the top, is the first POV character and basically our hero, she’s an ambassador for an elven race currently relegated to reservations due to their lack of magic. Next to her is Relia, my beautiful plus-sized princess and head of guest affairs at the tower where the Council meets and passes judgment on the free world. (Note: All humans in this universe appear to be either of African or Indian descent. No white humans.)
Myn and Riv, second row, are “unicorns.” This is the result of description being lost in translation by the first mortals in 2-3 ages to run into one. Their proper species name is “aur.” Myn heads up the Council that rules the free world and Riv is...a long story.
Tyalaskr takes up the entire third row and he’s the unfortunate result of an aur being bred with an afiri, a species of demon constructed during the first war. He’s ancient, exhausted, tiny and loves the world too much to let it fall apart on his watch. He’s also Riv’s best friend.
