I headcanon that Adèle's ghostly aura feels like heartbeats!
Her own heart does not beat, but if her fear or a feeling intensifies, it carries over to her aura.
I think it's a pity she can never make her aura disappear completely. Big drawback.
She's a dear and I love her tho.
Hopefully one day she'll be able to finally rest in peace.

Tbh at least her body deserved a burial. But nooooo, things just had to go in a way that now she's suck with her lifeless body.
She's not really a zombie Ig? I mean, sometimes she classifies as a "living dead", but she really is just a spirit.

If she were to "die" (she's already dead but y'know) then she'd probably want to be buried in her forest.
Her forest is an interesting place imo. It's not tied to her like Forest Spirits' forests are, but she just feels like she belongs there. She cared for it while alive and now in death she haunts it.

The idea of Spec trick-or-treating with children is getting stronger in my mind as the 31st approaches and I feel I must do something with this thought.

I've always thought that the nature of GGaD makes it possible for characters to have unique views on deities.
It's really interesting, at least to me, y'know? That religion in GGaD can vary a lot.
I mean, sure, there are many deities, but that doesn't mean that everyone is going to worship all the deities and/or even believe in them.
Personally, I feel that people in the Modern and Cyber sect who don't interact with deities might not even known that they exist and therefore probably have less interest in pursuing a religion.
I'mma do some canon thoughts hang on.

So, deities exist.
Iirc the only explicitly monotheistic group mentioned in GGaD is the Novaspawn, but even then I know that not all of them believe that Nova is the sole god. Using my characters as examples, Rigel does follow the general religious beliefs despite not being like a super devout worshipper or anything. Then, Algol is a bit different because they're more "informed" and know and accept the existence of other deities, though they still worship Nova as their main god. It was a matter of choice and Algol isn't sinning by not worshipping all deities xD.
Then I remember Germaine interacting with someone (Flint and Myra I think?) who mentioned that there was only one true deity and all others were fake. So we can see then that monotheistic systems do exist.

I'll just be using my characters as examples here xD. Of course, there's way more views on deities and worship than the ones I'll be saying here. I've always been curious about this tbh XD.
Most of the characters I have who aren't employed to or directly related to deities do know of their existence. A lot of them simply see them as powered beings who can be dangerous (like Aereon, who prefers to avoid deities if possible). Others simply don't care.
A couple of my characters, some of them related to deities, do believe in prayer but not really to any specific deity. Like Kenneth, who often makes prayers for protection and luck but isn't a follower of any deity in particuilar.
Another case I find interesting is Kyle. He believes that deities exist and is aware of their power, but chose Fallon as the main goddess he'd worship. He doesn't think it's wrong to revere deities as long as they're not like evil or anything, since he kind of sees them as higher beings due to his not having directly interacted with any in his life.
That's going to be the case with the 2nd mage I'll make for Time, though not exactly the same.
Even then, some other characters who live with deities are more prone to seeing them as more "human" because of the way they act. Sure, powerful and all, but these characters won't really worship the deities. I think this would probably be the case with demigods. Javier can be an example of this because Silverskies is his mom xD

Germaine's view regarding beliefs is something I wouldn't be surprised to see in other characters.
Basically, she lost faith in the "wish-granting" and "goodness" of deities after she was cursed, even though she was taught that she should use prayer as a way of respecting deities. So, while she couldn't ignore the truth of the existence of deities, she's not a devout worshipper or anything. Sometimes she'll do mental prayers out of reflex (as in, "if someone's listening, please let this person get better") but she doesn't trust deities to fulfill her pleas.
She has absolutely no problem with talking to deities, though, and it's something she's done quite often xD. She knows they're not all evil and she does admire those who are more benevolent towards non-deities. And in a way, Germaine thinks that many deities are more human (she knows about ambrosia flowers too) than they even realize.
But their power can also be dangerous and that's why she'd get away from, say, a fight between two deities or simply massive destruction. She might watch from the sidelines tho.
There are exceptions. A known one is Oblivion lol. Germaine normally wouldn't go against a deity because she's aware that they could probably overpower her easily and she does have common sense. But when it comes to protecting others... then it's something she simply cannot ignore. And this applies to beings who aren't deities too.

Dion could care less about deities tbh xD. He's read stuff about them, but how does it affect him if they're real or not? They probably are, in his opinon, but he hasn't ever met one and they certainly haven't ever helped him. So why should he pay respects to mysterious beings? This attitude would maybe change some if/when he meets a deity, but he still Would Not Care much tbh.
He doesn't believe in prayer either :D and he doesn't care to think if his actions might anger a deity or not.

Anyways I could get into every specific case but that's it in general for my characters.
Hehe.

Wouldn't it be dandy if Rai's and Dion's situation got worsened to not just killer robots but killer robots and killer deities? :D?

Okay but really if Dion ever angered a deity he'd live in fear for the rest of his (short????) life.
Bye-bye neutral opinion.

I wonder if I could submit Amar's form with "NOT NICE." as the only thing in the peersonality section xD.
Okay, jokes aside, I'm content with my progress! If everything goes well... he should be submitted this weekend.

I'm having troubles with the Powers section xD. How am I even supposed to describe that.
Appearance was easy, and Personality should just be hard because of the wording. I think I can be more or less vague with those sections.

I'm not sure but I think he gets to Shatter-level meanness.
Except that he doesn't have a tragic backstory or stuff.
He's "evil" just for the sake of pleasure.
Oof.

I somehow did a weird misspelling so while proofreading I died when I read "sometimes he'll wear a cake if he feels fancy" bECAUSE HOW DID I TURN CAPE INTO CAKE XDDDDD

So many characters I want to draw.
Not enough time to do it all quickly.
Aaaaaaa
For now, the next character who isn't mine that I want to draw is a demigoddess uwu

I sketched Amar and he looks like a weirdly-colored Elin -_-.
Immense oof because Elin is like teen-looking and Amar is an hecking adult xD.
Ig I just like that hairstyle too much lol.

One would think that the Cheetah is used to her inhuman speed but nope and instead she constantly crashes into walls and trips on the floor while slowing down.
The strange thing is that those things rarely ever happen while she's off hunting.

I see I have too many versions of Dion and Germaine and Specter.
Lol.

Things I remember Dion's cheeks have been compared to:
- Ripe red bell peppers
- Limo chili skin (red variety)
- Stewed tomato
- Strawberries
- Red grape juice
Why is it that every time I see one of those blushing "how to draw" reference charts I think of Dion xD
Offline
Note: Somehow edit the background for Dion's page because it hinders vision when more information is added.

Y'know I'm not sure how I ended focusing so much on Dion but he's in my top favorite characters now.
What's funny here is that I only use him in private threads xD

Ah yes one day I want to draw Opal Olthra hehe
I probably want to talk more about her with Rune too uwu.

It's really sad that all of Bixbite's husbands left her.
But it's even sadder when you remember that they also took her children with them and left the poor goddess all lonely.
And it's worse when you notice that they all left the children in orphanages.
Offline
Afaik two of her children are dead and the two remaining are Mirabella and Opal.
She may have more children if someone decides to make a demigod of her xD.
Offline
Tbh Bix is probably an underpowered deity if you compare her with others who have more offensive abilities.
Not that she's defenseless or anything. Her areas of control are just very specific. But she knows how to use them well.

Almost all my characters have siblings xD

I dreamed that Hitan and Helen were getting married <3<3<3
I actually had many dreams last night xD but that one is going in this thread.
