HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! This was an idea I had several months ago and having gotten the chance to work with all these amazing artists has been such an honour. Everyone did a tarot card inspired design based on the magnus archives fears and OH MY GOD they turned out so good.

I constantly have it in my mind that Gillion is three years older than Chip. Gillion, yes, Gillion mother fucking Tidestrider, is the oldest of the albatrio.
It's funny on a base level, Gillion is oldest yet the others need to babysit him. Gillion is the oldest but he knows the least. Haha.
It's less funny if you think about Chip being 8 years old, happy with the black rose pirates and then Gillion. Gillion who is eleven and training to be a weapon for others.
It's less funny if you think about Jay, 12 and spending time with her mom and sister. Gillion, 13, who can't remember his mom and almost expects his sister's hugs to hurt because the only contact he gets is hit over the head for failing again.
Chip, 14, Jay, 16, able to act out and cause trouble, because they're teenagers, why not goof around? And then Gillion, who's 17 and told to be an adult and act like it. But he can't change how he acts, because being mature has always been the standard expectation, he doesn't know how to be an adult when that's already what he's been his whole life.
Chip, 18 and he is scared to kill someone because killing is bad. Jay, 20 and her sister is dead and she is heartbroken. Gill, 21 and he is already used to killing, and he never sees his sister anyways, and he ruins his life. He ruins his life doing wha he thought was right, doing what they taught him to do.
Gillion is three years older than Chip, a year older than Jay. And it seems insignificant until you think about those years being stolen from him. It took Gillion 22 years to be free. Chip was free off and on, he had a childhood, Jay was never held back, she had a childhood.
Gillion didn't.
I got inspired by the post with the voices in stp and assigning dnd classes….I’m going to do that with the princesses, specifically chapter 2 princesses. Let me know if you want chapter 3 princesses too!
My gut instinct is to make adversary a barbarian, but I don’t think she has as much rage as her 3rd chapter forms, so I think either a monk or fighter fits her best. Battle master fighter or Way of the open hand monk
Beast would be a circle of the Shepard Druid I think, protecting herself from who she perceives as a hunter
Damsel is difficult because she just wants to make you happy and is willing to do whatever you like. However maybe life domain cleric? Or oath of devotion paladin? Maybe a glamour bard could also work???? A support character for sure.
The nightmare I think is an aberrant mind sorcerer, being able to control the things around her by just getting close and killing someone just by slightly touching them.
I don’t really know what the prisoner would be. She’s colder and more collected so maybe a rogue? Assassin rogue could work I suppose but I don’t really think it fits her. Does anyone else have any better ideas?
Razor is another difficult one, rogue and fighter are my best bets. I think she’s more akin to a rogue but she’s not a stealthy rogue. Maybe inquisitive or mastermind for her subclass
Specter is a phantom rogue, makes sense to me. Also the wails from the grave is just something cool she could totally have
The stranger is all of the different classes all at once. She’s really talented.
Tower is definitely a sorcerer to me! Probably with a divine soul subclass especially because of her power and self-importance
THE WITCH!!!! I can only see two different paths for her! A Druid or a Ranger. For Druid I think she would either be circle of spores or circle of the moon? For Ranger I think she would be gloom stalker or get wanderer
another svene from one of @leafcabbage ‘s fics hehehehe
Better get on that, Jon. That's a sweet deal.
WIP under cut
Frankly, I just wanted to show the lineart a little closer, this may be the best Jon I've drawn (not counting dragon Jon, he's my special boy)
Just look at this sad, little man. I love him so.
It's Her.

Example: I wanted some form traditional tattooing for one of my cultures.
So I researched traditional Polynesian tattooing practices not only for 'inspiration' but so I know the cultural significance of the practices I wish to emulate in a fictional setting.
You cannot forget that the practices, places and objects you become inspired by to add to your world have real world ties and roots that you're inadvertently adding to your worldbuilding.
You don't want someone to find something in common with your world building and find it construed in a horrible way--ultimately and sometimes accidently being racist or insensitive to someone elses culture.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go research Henna.
