Haven't bumped this in awhile! Forgive any repeats, but below is inspired by recent Discord conversations:
Poof, Ascension still works like it did for Ayridion! When your character ascends and becomes a proper Vernal Divine, what are they like?
Who would you cast as a voice actor for your character?
What would your character's "fall from grace" story arc be? If you're already a nefarious villain, what would your "redemption" arc look like?
What's your favorite lore "conspiracy theory" you have, or personal headcanon?
What is your favorite god relationship? (Can be romantic, friendship, rivalry, random ridiculous pairing -- whatever!)

1. Think this came up before, answer is still mostly unchanged. A god of industry that was very pollution heavy.
2. Tom Hardy.
3. Not really sure, can I just say I'm pro seeing the Lantra fall from grace arc too?
4. Two part answer here.
Conspiracy theory: That Tzaraziko was actually a changeling is also one that I have.
Personal headcanon: Ever since last year's ascension and the time scar event, Uzriel has secretly been collaborating with alternate time-line variants of himself. He never swapped out of Geomancy until after that event, perhaps learned or swapped places with an alternate Uzriel that learned only Necromancy and not Geomancy. Hmmmm! (This was something oocly plotted on for awhile but never really did anything IG about it, I still like the headcanon)
5. At the moment, I really want to see more of the Dro/Li relationship. Including what it was like during the Elder Wars and before. All of the Dro interactions with other Elders during that time really.

Edit: I forgot to include my imp headcanon! Which is that the Mag families pass down imps like they are mischievous and less competent versions of house elves from harry potter.

Ev would be soft spoken but with a deep voice. He'd continue his role as a solitary type, glimpsed occasionally between the trees of the Serenwilde, often heralded by an audible but invisible flap of great wings that trail behind him, melding with the ethereal energies and the spirit of the Land. He'd do his best to stay out of anything and everything, choosing instead to focus on protecting the Spirit of the Verdant Land from unseen horrors only dreamed of by the Shelterfolk.

Who would you cast as a voice actor for your character?

I mean, at this point, Ev is drifting into Sir Ian McKellen territory.

What would your character's "fall from grace" story arc be? If you're already a nefarious villain, what would your "redemption" arc look like?

Let's just say that @Rancoura would almost certainly know the whole story. Ev would most likely feel he had been betrayed and cast out, rejected by the Verdant Land. Cutoff from the only home and life he's ever known, and not by his choice, and having a strong dislike of city life, he'd probably end up in Glomdoring, fully losing himself to the deep and disturbing corruption of the Wyrd.

What's your favorite lore "conspiracy theory" you have, or personal headcanon?

When curious were first introduced, I was convinced they were part of an event where, having been snatched up and obsesssed over by mortals, the curious would suddenly "activate" and attempt to take over the Basin.

I still completely believe this, and am patiently waiting for it to happen. Chop chop!

What is your favorite god relationship? (Can be romantic, friendship, rivalry, random ridiculous pairing -- whatever!)

Tae and Bollikin. They are ADORABLE.

Very much focused upon the greater good and making the hard choices. A strong emphasis on seeing true and clear despite how murky a situation might be, and seeing into the hearts of others, and oneself. Righteous anger, but strictly controlled. Firmly believes in a philosophy of only unsheathing your blade (literally and metaphorically) when you intend to use it in earnest, lest it cheapen the blade and its wielder. Encourages His followers to stoke their anger, but shape it, and direct it outwards to those that deserve it. Your should be as the falling of a terrible star of judgement, etc. Make them dread it. Calm, composed, in control, though cool of manner in most situations. Warm, gentle and reassuring (if a touch formal and awkward at times) to His allies, a bastion of immovable resolve, a terrifying, implacable foe to His enemies. Cannot abide mortals that waver in their belief in the Light, or permit it to be diminished in any way. Is not swift to engage in battle, but when He does, His pragmatic, elegant brutality is infamous - He will sever and rip a foe into pieces with a blend of raging ferocity and surgical precision. Absolutely loyal, and expects the same of His followers. Similarly, He is extremely, single-mindedly vengeful. Rumoured to have some degree of prescience.

He'd certainly still be as devoted to Lantra as He was as a mortal, and relieved to finally be able to fulfil his vow to be Her Knight in a manner that is actually useful to Her, if She allowed Him to. I like to imagine His Order and Lantra's would work hand in hand often, and Terentia's, to a lesser degree. Would almost certainly stir up a great deal of trouble in the delicate power balance the Divines play within.

Tenets: Judgement, Vigilance, Wrath, Temperance, Reverence.

Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow

I'll add onto that with a bloodfaire rave of my own. A lot of sweat and blood went into planning and organizing everything. A big shout out to the faire planning crew @Sapphira, @Kailanna, and @Ayrisa.

Ayrisa got things started but unfortunately due to real life popping up had to take a step back. Kailanna was a great sounding board and sanity check during planning while playing the part of the hostess and leading opening ceremonies and being her regal self in most of the events throughout the faire. Sapphira did a ton of behind the scenes work that can't be overstated, including writing most of the designs, new festival wares, and new ambients - in addition to general help on Faire planning, and of course hostess to the ball itself which was at times overwhelming.

@Drocilla gets a special mention of course for all of the reasons above, implementing all of the new stuff and a few surprises of her own. She was getting things implemented literally the day after Li-varili's reveal, and adding new stuff throughout the festival.

Additional mentions to @Zagreus and @Jatius for offering to run events to help keep the festival lively. It was great to have days planned for that I could also just relax.

Finally thanks to everybody who supported the Faire and especially those tried to go to most of the events and were in general supportive - Akyaevin, Tyrus, Zagreus, and the Gaudiguch crew, readily come to mind. I'm sure there's others but my brain is drawing a blank at the moment.
