daeva_agas

Had a doub;e nostalgic moment. I was recently fooling around with Wizarding World (ex-Pottermore), and I found this old Hogwarts AU of the daevas. The old gnag are more or less entirely different people, so I did a quick sketch of the new cast's Sorting. Nanghaithya: Has always been a sneak mad scientist, though he’s even more nuts now. In HP AU, he’s almost 50-50 Slytherin Ravenclaw, but he demanded to be put on somewhere that his cousin isn’t so he can show him up, and his cousin is Ravenclaw, so Slytherin he went. Personal hobby is raising an army of moving cacti as pets for some reason. ALSO WITHOUT HIS PURPLE HAIR HE LOOKS LIKE ALL THE ANIME FANARTS OF SNAPE I'VE SEEN ONLINE yeeeesh. But... that's really just what he looks like... sans the dreadlocks. It's a daeva thing so I got rid of it in this human AU. Zarich: Used to just be a dorky almost airhead kid. Now is also kind of a mad scientist, just in a different way from Nanghay. Far less sneaky, so Ravenclaw it is. Zarich is a Grim Reaper in my Aveyondverse headcanon, but that don’t work in HP-verse, so I’m not sure how to translate that... Divination? Oddly has a very strong investment in researching Dementors? You can't be a half-Dementor in the HP universe... Tawrich: The idea was he’s smarter than he looks. In the original AV he’s literally a skeleton, so he’s mostly just chaotic. Now he’s more of a loud piratey sort of character, so off to Gryffindor he goes. Has too much energy, probably plays Quidditch. Indra: She... used to be an animal rights activist for some reason. I'm pretty sure I was just being random. Now she's kinda a menace, and actually the sort-of-power-hungry one. Hence the obvious placement? As she can see visions I guess she's good in Divination in this AU. Probably good at Charms and DADA, and has invested interest in dangerous non-hex spells. I really have no idea how HP categorizes hex VS non hex. But I imagine she's into modifying benign spells to have unpleasant effects without going into outright "dark" territory. Saurva: Used to be 75% the reason why I made the HP AU a thing in the first place. His old design used to be based off Alan Rickman, and it was really funny to imagine if he was around in the actual story timeline. Now... well, not really. He was a Gryffindor for being a dragon nerd who wants to be a dragon wrangler. He still is into dragons. The only difference is that he's more obnoxious in this incarnation. He's a bit like Gavin in AV2. Agas: I honestly prefer to have the daevas all in more or less similar grade level. He gets to be sort-of Saurva's distant relative in this AU I guess. Old!Agas is a prat. I imagine he's somewhat similar to Sirius Black in some sense. Without all the pureblood baggage. This new Agas is mostly mild-mannered and nice... sort of, outside of the Ahriman business. That's an entirely different story. So Hufflepuff. Is it just me or does he look kind of like Malfoy, but not a snob though? Aesma: So uh, way back when I don't have much impression of Aesma, even in my completely made up headcanon. Just that Aesma hates everything and is a bit of an elitist, so that's why I sent him to Slytherin. Now Aesma is... a she. And a bookworm. A very grumpy bookworm. Agas's tutor in the Aveyondverse, because Agas is the baby of the group there, but in the HP-verse they're probably just very good friends.

@LHMH2019 (Lemmy) Yeah. The Agas that I first designed coming into the fandom 😀 I did draw him once a few months ago, but when I did the latest doodle I didn't have my old drawings to reference from so I just drew from memory, but as it turns out I cou;dn't remember a bunch of things so...

@Blurble: Aye, nice to see you around too! 🤩

@LHMH2019 (Lemmy) Man, yeah, it was (is?) a long story 😂 I don't know how to explain --------------------------------------------------------------- Rough doodles to warm up before drawing other things

Did a random Gyendal awhile back... And another one + Agas As previously mentioned, Agas is Saurva's son so... It was easier to draw 'em mostly human/elf-looking and super pretty but, well, to be fair they ARE "demons". Compare to the "old design" of Saurva LOL: ... Wow, old message that I forgot to respond to 😥 Trying to write something with Agas at the very least. Writing progressing slowly just because I can't concentrate :'D

Hi'beru is adorable. I wish there were other partner options for him, but oh well.

After a long time I'm beginning to miss drawing Aveyond stuff again... Here's Agas. As of AV1 (too lazy to draw armour): Agas is half-human half-hellhound-shapeshifter-something demon (I should come up with a species name at some point...) The demon half being Saurva. Complicated father-son thing. As of AV3: Long story, it was meant to be a fanfic, but I never got around to writing. But basically the daeva were just manipulated by Ahriman and once Ahriman is gone, they're let go. So they're just minding their own business off-screen in the Demon Realm during AV3 😁 I dunno if there's still old members who still remember the Old Old Old version of the daevas that I used to make... uh... around 2010-ish? I don't know I ever got around to posting this Te'ijal. It's old, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the thread (or I just skipped past it somehow):

Nice tiles! I think I recognize Pandamaru's tree in one of the maps. And Celianna's tiles in te hParallax. I dig those maps. Pndamaru aand Celianna makes fabulous tiles. Though, I'm a bit worried about the forest and the cave maps. They kinda look very big and empty. It may look small in the editor, but it feels big and tedious once I actually start walkign around in it. It's tiring. I mean, those are older posts, so I guess they might be obsolete, but... :|

Oh, I was very much aware of that. And I suspect one of the other reasons that Boyle/Myst is not meant to be is because appearances matter. Despicte being hundreds of years old Myst looks 14 or 15, and I'm being rather generous here. Boyle could easily appear to be her grandpa, and obviously Amanda would want to avoid creepy implications to appeal to a wider range of target audience .

I set up Ingrid with Hi'beru because Ingrid kept on beating him up and it was funny. Alas, as per my usual fare as the lord of crackships, I ship Boyle with Myst ever since Windy Valley, so I just can't stand the idea of Ingrid getting to Boyle. I was a bit baffled Phye was even an option, to be honest. He barely said anything to Ingrid. I personally don't mind, but it was still random as heck. Also, one thing that I've been confused throughout the game... Hercules was revealed to have been... something else... in Aveyond 3. Why is he suddenly back to being the faux hero that he was pretending to be? Continuity? Hello? And I was a bit torn about how the final battle went. To say it was anticlimactic is an understatement.

Oh good, I'm not alone in this. I was afraid I would have to declare myself the lonely king of crackships. Longer review when I ain't mobile. But just a couple of points: 1) Oh dear, the mist realm is the most tedious portal system ever!! I didn't mind it, but it's a bit of a hassle. 2) YES FOR THE OLD MEN IN THE CREW!!! Although I was kinda surprised to find that Boyle isn't even 30 yet. He looked about 45. 3) Those cheekis are really cute. I want one. In real life. 4) I love the puzzles. It's reminiscent of John WIzard stuff, actually. Was this a collab, by any chance?

It's been a week, and there's a lot of people already, but... Is sign ups still open? If it is, sign me up!!

I'm done drawing the scary guy!!

I was also the one who made the facesets for Asteria/Valiant? NOT the title screen, though. Just the faces.

I'm trying to decide if the bow means "bow and arrow" bow or a ribbon bow...
