- Yazmin and Vox: Reunion -

A long, long time ago. I created the first sample of creatures under the same name, Vox and Yaz. Both of these names have been through a ton of changes but. It's time they reunite once more!

Featuring: Yazamanyhands/ Yazmin and Vox of the Red

- Their History -

Originally, they were the "Type 0" of the Hoodlites. The first of the many that lead to a community of the same creature with variations of all kinds. They were reworked due to dissatisfaction. Even from the beginning, the concept of what they are is quite clear.

During one of the many attempts to remake the Hoodlites. Vox and Yaz were separated. They took on the creature form under a different approach.

Yaz is more robotic and Vox is more creature-like. While Yaz took a major change from its initial version. Vox's colour palate remained quite the same. However, it was still unsatisfactory.

Feeling defeated, Vox and Yaz were put on the back burner for quite a while but were still actively being reworked behind the scenes. Until I had the desire to make a sixth character. Referencing my old username; Yazamanyhands.

This rekindling also opened the possibility of returning to my roots. Giving Vox a few minor readjustments. Taking old Yaz's body but reworking to Vox's colour and tweak the form.

Hence, this reunion post was made to let them interact again. Both Yaz and Vox have drastically changed but they are still good old friends. Despite everything, they are still them.

Vorvadoss / Magic Find - Starlit Dominions

Atrocity Altar

Vorvadoss is an Elder God in the Cthulhu Mythos. He appears as a humanoid creature dressed in a cloak and wreathed in green flames, though his true form is an amorphous silvery being with an inhuman face.

He is known varyingly as "The Flaming One," "Lord of the Universal Spaces" and "He Who Waits in the Outer Dark." He is sometimes said to be the son of Nodens.

Like the Hounds of Tindalos but with an apocalyptics

Interesting that Cthullhu is mentioned in a neutral tone here, listed along other benevolent/neutral gods, including the “hero of the hour”

I haven’t read much Derleth’s works, but this story does use a similar idea of intentionally summoning a less hostile entity to deal with the threat. (I also have a fondness for Cthuga being summoned to fight the Dweller in Darkness, but that’s really only because I can accept even a powerful entity like Cthuga leaving when finished just like the star vampires do , and I find Nylarothotep being attacked by an Angry Sun (like SMB3) really enjoyable. )

And yet I’m okay with it, because the savior at the end, Vorvadoss seems completely uninterested in the humans, and gives them no notice. That they are saved in a way that worsens their mental trauma shows a lack of care from the entity.

Vorvadoss doesn’t even seem to notice the humans until after they closed the gateway, and its just a brief glance before leaving. Vorvadoss’s description seems different than what I see in wikis, rather than being literally cloaked, silver mists shroud it. Instead of covered in fire, there’s just small flames crawling around its face.

Its also the fact that I find interesting is that the threat isn’t a singular “god”, but a race of entities. And they aren’t smited as the effects of their spell to open the way to Earth nullified. 

I do wonder why their city seems somewhat designed for those crawling on the ground if they’re floating in the vision. 

Then again they don’t seem to fly so much as float motionlessly in the glimpse of their city, and others are resting on top of buildings. Meanwhile others are quite.

for once we see a bustling nonhuman city in one of these stories, rather than a long dead or dormant one.

The invaders seems quite similar to the flying polyps in their wind control, but they also seem to have a connection to fog and cold.
