Newest angel. Working name is "Altijd".
Male pronouns; Altijd is the only one who uses these. Altijd
goes through three stages and is the maker of the pictograms. He uses his hand-like front legs to draw them out in the sand, before he plucks the parts out of his halo. As you can imagine, he runs out when our pictogram's are run out as well. His left form is when he is saturated with the purple smoke. Perhaps someone died recently, perhaps he's been on the hunt for it. At this point he drools the stuff in a liquid version. His eyes are black, that's how thick it is.
His second form is pretty much normal. Not deprived, not full. This could be considered normal. His eyes are purple, but his hair is blue. There's a slight trail of some vein-like marking on his body.
The third form is deprived. At this stage the vein is very clear, his eyes are white, he's losing all of his color. It's pretty bad.
All these forms have different effects to them as well. I've been reading on drug addiction and effects, and so far I like the idea of a combination of LSD and meth.
Meth: "Users may become obsessed or perform repetitive tasks such as cleaning, hand-washing, or assembling and disassembling objects. Withdrawal is characterized by excessive sleeping, eating and depression-like symptoms, often accompanied by anxiety and drug-craving."
LSD: "LSD’s psychological effects (colloquially called a “trip”) vary greatly from person to person, depending on factors such as previous experiences, state of mind and environment, as well as dose strength."
Meth comes really close to his role and what I think could be fun to play out, but when I worked on him I did imagine he goes into some sort of "trip" where he hallucinates etc. Deer with squidhead. Whatever. I might cross it out later but I'd like to read more in trips before I do that. Meths' side effects, like assembling and dissasembling objects fits very well with his Pictogram making. If anything, Temeluch would be greatly happy if it'd speed up his work progress. Perhaps his best pictograms are made during oversaturation. Normal-mode he's not really all that bad. He'd likely be the most sane, and under control. Deprived shows the anxiety and depression effects. And of course the craving for the purple smoke. He might actively search out hurt/sick deer in the hopes they die.
Possible names!
Ecanus (angel who inspires writers)
Hamaliel (angel of logic)
**9/11/2013**
His design changed slightly, he now sports a third eye on his forehead. This is the only seeing eye he posesses, giving him a lack of depth of field and a pretty narrow field of vision. Even if the eye is pretty big. His other eyes are more like glass windows, where you can see how thick his smoke amount is.
Altijd now got Temeluch's perfect circle picto, as he is likely the only one to appear in-forest.
He sports three names, and uses them all at different times. Hamaliel is his "birth" name though he only uses it when he is in his overflow-form, where he's very much at his most positive. Altijd is the neutral name, and thus the most used. Ecanus is the form in which he will activily be searching for purple smoke.
If you're reading this and you're interested in an rp of sorts, or a plot, whatevs, feel free to contact me at skype. It's MisMantis. I'm going to continue to develop and see where he goes, but this blog might get even more silent since he has a bio now.
Right here.
Temeluch's design looks
Tracky.
Oooh, this is really, really
Well, I'm interested in what
/sets up camp here
You know what I think about those ideas, eagerly waiting for more :D
Okay, this is fantastic.
Very eagerly tracking.
*caresses*
Moon scares me! But these
Oh my Mis ! Saw this
and damn those sexy circles ♥Oh wow, these designs are
I SHOULD FOLLOW THIS because
I have to say though, Id love to see a human face of the boy one. I dunno, the basis of TEF is human faces. Ah I dunno. You just draw awesome faces.
WHEEEE.
Oh good god comments. *flails
Amazegenalo:
Apel did an amaaazing job on her.
Aaah, all these spies ;__; pressure! XD Have to admit I didn't think anyone would be interested HAHA but yeah this will get more chaotic when I have more time to work on it. So hi! Welcome to the land of AAAH
Stop touching me AL
Sight:
Moon is one scary ass meany >8C
Schutz:
I'm a circle hoarder. No shame. SORRYY
Thanks XD
Meadow:
Yes! Exactly! Declan provided me with some good inspiration for designs, but I am indeed a big fan of TEF lore. Just those things that make me wonder how they would work in a place ruled by odd magic and whatnot. I bet everyone has their own ideas of TEF lore though so I wouldn't want to go THIS IS FACT NAOW RAWR. But this is my interpretation of it!
Parrot:
I might try a human face on him, but I really only have human faced characters. Bad reasoning of course, but I don't agree with the base of TEF being human faces either. My opinion btw XD But I think the base of TEF is everyone's imagination. M&A had thought of this being a deer-faced game. The artist they hired went with human, that was their imagination. So I like to think there is no real rule to it. Bit of a different discussion there ROFL but I do want to try a human face! If it looks better on him I will go for it. Tried a more TEF-like face with Moon, I find that easier on females. Would be fun to try on a guy.
Was thinking a less realistic face for him all around though. More in Mato's direction, with the long snout. Maybe an unidentifyable animal.. I'll see.
I have questions! Since I
Temeluch's body is physically tangible, right? Does Temeluch have an awareness of the things around her? Is she self-aware? Would Temeluch interact with others in the same way regular deer do? You describe her as an entity, does Temeluch also have a personality to speak of? Does she also have emotions, does she act on them, does she form relationships similar to the way mundane deer have them? Or is she just this intangible, supernatural entity that stands above all?
What I'm really trying to get at though is: how do spells affect Temeluch (and the other angels for that matter), and would she react to them at all.
Man, this are some wicked
.. Okay, a little creepy too, but that's what makes them so cool.
Have a track for your purdy characters. ;u;
Unplugged: Ah yes fun
Ah yes fun questions! I'll have to think about those further! I'm getting a few things from how she responds to others in-forest, and it's usually in a copy-ing manner. Doesn't seem to -really- involve herself with others on an emotional basis, but she does react. As in, if someone bows to her she bows back. But she doesn't think about it much, nor does she do it for polite reasons. If anything she is just copying the other. She is tangible mostly, maybe not her entire body. Haven't thought that out much, but I also imagine she might not carry any sort of scent but I would have to think that out. To me scent is one of those things we are unawarely aware of so, what would it be like of something lacks scent entirely?
Temeluch I'm sure wouldn't involve herself in relationships in that sense, she doesn't seem to form emotive connections. She isn't hostile or unwelcoming, but in a sense it isn't in her task so she doesn't care for it? The problem though with not really interacting is that you get a lack of self. In this case, Temeluch just is. Yeah. I am not too sure how to explain that one, better think about it more. I do think she interacts though, especially with the things I have been coming up with for the other angels. They have some form of interaction with her, pleasant or not, so in a sense I think she could 'interact' with others as well. She's definitly not going around romancing though :")
"Standing above all" feels a little too uh. Pretentious. I don't think that goes on in her mind at all either. Everyone has their tasks and she has hers too. But definitly some things to think on further.
I didn't think about the spells thing until you mentioned it, but they are a great part of what TEF is too as a world. And no way you can actually evade them in-game either. Perhaps they change her physical form in a sense, I would like to see a long-mask in a weird style rofl.
We saw you looking at her hahah! And it's also good to see you back! Thanks for the questions, more things to think about!
Rikka:
I like creepy. . Haha thank you XD This'll be in heavy development for a looong while.
Track ...Yes ...
