#yvrell

in which i just wanted to write about Vie with Occam Yvrell is @just-eyris-things’ character <3

Introducing her to Occam was a good idea. Working in the forge got her mind off things, channeling her pain into making beautiful things. Though the sapling still clearly had problems, she was doing better. She was relaxed in the forge, she could relax, somewhere no one would hurt her. Somewhere with only two other sylvari.

Watching them, they were her third experience with love. They had a different way of expressing it than her dads and uncles, she was almost fascinated by it… Their subtle, quiet love. They could surely sense all that love they shared, but how they expressed it with the smallest of things…

you know what?

CONTENT WARNING: dismemberment, loss of limb

When it comes to Yvrell, he loses his right leg twice. The first time is when he still works with Scarlet. He loses it when the Breachmaker is falling apart - it gets crushed under the weight of collapsing machine. The second time is when he is pulled out of a blighting pod and it grows back corrupted. Yvrell claims that to stop the corruption they need to cut it off before Mordremoth's influence reaches further.

Eyris is a really pet-loving person. For majority of her life she had Airost, an overgrown fernhound, now retired. Eyris, is given opportunity, will adopt all the animals. She already asked Freya if they could have a pen or something and a lot of animals.

Their homestead has a lot of cats, dogs and, of course, wolves.

Yvrell likes the idea of a pet but he worried he wouldn't be able to take care of if properly, so he built himself a cat.

How shit is his sleep schedule? Does he like festivals? Doesh e visits the Grove at all, and how often if so? In the "He is vie's uncle" aus, does he enjoy having her kids over? What pet would he gift Saoirse, of any? Would he help Vie made a dagger for Romeo's coronation?

Optional bonus, how bad did he freak out when he saw baby vie talking to a fucking largos?

Yvrell likes festivals...watching! He likes to observe them, he is not much of an activity participant enjoyer. He will go to them and sell some trinkets and toys, some jewellery, yknow, typical festival stall merchant.

He avoids the Grove. Ever since he got this side of Nightmare in him, he's very :/ on going there. But if he has to, he will. For Occam.

Yvrell might act like he hates everything and everyone. He might look annoyed all the time. In general he likes it. He jokes that it makes him appreciate the silence of the house more. But the truth is he really enjoys those family get-togethers.

He would give Saoirse a turtle. He really likes turtles.

Yvrell is not really a dagger guy, he'd point Vie to Occam for help with making one. Unless, that is, she would want some trinkets put in the hilt, like net shooter for swift capture or poison holders.

Do any of your characters keep tabs on the Orr restoration? How far along is the process as of EoD? Are your kiddos enjoying dragon bash? Are any of them avoiding the holiday to do other things?

@mystery-salad

Thank you for sending in an ask, @mystery-salad !

Nia keeps tabs on Orr because she thinks she should since it was one of the biggest things she has committed to (with Trahearne ofc). She feels responsible to make sure it is beautiful again. Airell and/or Eyris also check in every now and then for Trahearne who wants to "stay dead" to general public.

As of EoD Orr is nearly fully regrown and cleared of the Unchained. There are already unchained-free zones where some braver people, mostly Priory scholars and sylvari, moved in.

I hug Valoop too. I feel so loved!

You see, water area is the hardest for me to think about. I don't have it cleared out yet, but I will answer to the best of my ability.

Aqua breathers are mechanisms keeping water out of one's mouth and allow for communication underwater. For the breathing part, it's mostly magic that does the trick.

Non-magical breathers however need an air pouch and a tube connected to it, pouches can be attached to armor easily. Pouches also can be enchanted to have a bigger capacity. There are also underwater plants which gather air bubbles under their leaves/in their flowers, those bubbles can be used to refill the pouches.

Some professions/races can do without breathers or use their own gear

When it comes to elementalists, they can simply manipulate water and air to create an air bubble around their heads. By elemental manipulation they can replenish the air bubble as they see fit. Some can even use an enormous bubble to keep dry under the water!

Engineers/asura can use their golems to traverse the underwater terrain and they can be accompanied by air-storing golems. They will also have breathing pouches and masks to be able to explore things outside golems in case of necessity.

Some sylvari can breathe underwater and they only wear masks to keep the water out of their mouth. Those who cannot breathe underwater can grow leafy masks of different plant-kind than the rest of their bodies. As the mask is naturally attached to their bodies it is like a natural aqua breather.

I divide revenants into two groups: those who died and came back and those who were born like that.

The first ones do not need to breathe that much, their bodies function a bit differently. They are not dead but they are not alive either, but they cannot be qualified as pure zombies either. They are an enormous question mark to everyone. They usually wear masks only to keep the water out. The alive revenants need aqua breathers like everyone else.

I have no recollection of drawing this??? But apparently I drew it a few years ago because I found it in one of my old sketchbooks
