Though my will to draw and write have been at an all time low, my imagination continues to run wild. I got two new characters in mind, since I won't draw them any time soon, I figured I should write about them instead. One's inspired by my times playing Death Stranding, and the other's the result of me looking back at my old Deviantart interests.

The first character has yet to be named, and some suggestions would be appreciated. He's inspired by  Souvillaine 's salamander Axel, someone I've had a crush on for a long time and wanted to take inspiration from for quite a while. This character's concept is a mix of Axel and some elements from Death Stranding. He was someone who had lived in the past ages, during the days well before the Bastion was founded. One day he got lost in a Beach-like dimension and vanished from the overworld. Eventually he managed to find a way back, only to reappear decades or even centuries later, in the present day. Now he's out to reacquaint himself with a world he no longer recognizes. His time in the Beach had given him some powers similar to Fragile's, as well as him now being accompanied by cryptobiote-like creatures that assist and accompany him. These little bugs might have their own abilities, maybe 3D fabricating, or they simply bolster his own powers.

The second character is more of a resurrection of an old one. Luanaa. I looked back at my old DA faves and got reminded of Merlot, a lugia character and the one behind my Merlot's name. This revamp might be mostly inspired by the lugia Merlot. The idea is that Luanaa _ her name might change _ is a countess who resides in her own castle somewhere in the Highlands, remaining independent from the Bastion and any of the other Provinces. How she got there remains to be clarified. She might have an affinity for hypnosis or necromancy, employing brainwashed thralls and/or undead servants to keep her castle in shape, but also because she has a fear of being alone. Very likely will still be permapreg, because I like that sort of stuff.

I've had plenty of ideas for characters over the time of my art drought, but most of them are fleeting and undeveloped, and I need to keep my roster under control. These two are my most recent ideas, and the one I feel like keeping the most. Do tell me what you think.
