how would one even go about bringing down a behemoth like Igurath?

the bigger they are, the harder they fall

the foreman at the oil foundry said he's been sapping energy...so he's still growing. if we cut off his energy...

the voidal beings must be bleeding from the same wound. so the more we hurt the igurathi, the less chance he has to energize?

That sounds quite ominous - definitely fitting for a necrolyte.
But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
— Paul the Apostle

Winter is inevitable. Spring will return eventually, and AstralHunter with it.

Kill them to see how the nega aether reacts.


That'll teach 'em. :P
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

So Anberlin uses her Mesmer powers for counterfeiting certifications in Lemuria for cash. She ends up being blackmailed into leading a squad of the Adventurer's Guild after a "client" of her defense attorney's "office" ended up flaying himself to death with a dull dinner knife because he did "things" to someone she values.

She's shady af but very justice!! about the things that count to her.

Also I totally recommend the Jessica Jones OST for plotting this story.

An update since Lou pointed out on Skype that my concept art for Anberlin looks very non-generic Fantasy a la Dungeons & Dragons.

He's right, and I think I failed to mention that. The society is rather advanced. Elsewise there would be no machinist or understanding of psyche.

So in that regard, consider your character, spells, and weapons accordingly. Anberlin uses her dual swords because she can rip them from her psych void at will, and they've proven to be the best conduit of her psychokinesis.

@Caesar 'Kay! *thinks*

Mood: Cheerful.

Atmosphere: Colorful, a strange mix between nature-like instruments (such as xylophones or flutes) and electronic, chiptune-esque ones (like 8-bit or 16-bit video game soundfont). That would represent the whole thing going on with Miyavi's love for nature and obsession with toys, as well as the fact that she's a chimera, AKA a patchwork of things that shouldn't mix together.

So... Yeah that's all I got. Hope that helps!

@Lumi due to machinists being there, I expected Sci-fi stuff to be present in this world, actually. But uh, can we assume that this society has early modern tech, like I dunno, walkmen/MP3, or steampunk-like early automobiles?

@Lumi seems legit. New energy source, new type of technology. Though I'd assume Aether-powered thing would have their own "look", I guess. Or architectural design. Y'know, like how steampunk stuff has a lot of bronze/metallic colors and rigid shapes, or plastic-based constructions have a lot of smooth-looking things with luminous colors. Should the Aether tech have a gimmick like that, or am I going too far?

I imagine it's in anyone's right to design what they want how they want, so yeah. Once something has an established design, writers should make a note of it. Stuff like that.
