Illustration about latest chapter: "back to Almeshia"




Info about Deaths:

-- The scythes --

This particular artifact, designed only for godly beings (or those who share their power) isn't very powerful or destructive.
It's given to all the Deaths from 4th grade up, and takes the shape desired from the user. Usually at 1st grade scythes are useless and never been used, for the 1st grade Death can create its own spiritual weapon at this level.

The scythe's only powers are to: open portals / gather and collect defeated souls / conduce easily spiritual or godly energy / serves as a catalyst like the wand or baton for a sorcerer.
So: all other effects or magic used through it depend only by the skills of the user.

-- Deaths home --

"Death" is an organization created by superior Gods in order to intervene in every case of special duty involving the soul realm and to keep the balance and equity in the whole area of influence. They escort personally the revenant souls to the respective afterlives if these refuse their fate, defeat spiritual creatures harmful for living species and basically do all the "dirty work" for the Gods.
Their HQ is the Kinassiah, a floating continent wandering in a dimensional rift. The continent is sliced in four sections, one for every direction (north, south, west, east) and is kept together by bridges and connected to the Sapphire Hall, in the middle. From the Sapphire Hall departs the "stairway to heaven" which brings to a huge crystalline structure of the form of a gigantic torus, home of the superior Gods.

-- Death grades, hierarchy --

6th - acolyte: this level is reserved for the weakest of the demi-gods (like, 70%+ mortal blood) or simple spirits exceptionally blessed by superior gods and allowed to live in the Kinassiah. Never used in battle nor for the gathering or souls, usually the commoners of the Kinassiah are all of 6th level. They work as servants or as lower assistants for superior grades.
This category is the more discriminated and rarely one of these is capable of studying magic or spirit control skills so they almost never climb the grades. They are not allowed to change sector of the Kinassiah or enter the Sapphire Hall.

5th - citizen: level reserved to demi-godlings (70% to 40% mortal blood) and the priests working directly under the supervision of Gods. These Demi-Godlings and priests usually gather all the information needed and direct from distance the work of Deaths.

4th - searcher: first, low, level of Deaths, used for the simple searching, gathering and escorting of souls.

3rd - combatant: can command troops of searchers for large operations of cleansing (like Cassandra on Almeshia). They're not too powerful but can handle a wide variety of spells. Assigned to the elimination of lesser spiritual beasts and revenants.

2nd - hunter: used for specific combat missions and act as a support for the 1st grade. Usually teams of 2nd grades are sent to fight the most dangerous spiritual beasts.

1st - master: masters can handle the most dangerous and deadly missions involving the fight to demons, rebel angels and lesser Gods that try to modify, or destroy, the course of souls. Or attack, and harm superior Gods. Usually master level Deaths don't live on the Kinassiah and are spreaded through the multiverse ready to take action.

0 - Superior Gods: pure Demi-Godlings (just 20%- mortal blood, like Quetzal) and Ancient Gods are belonging to this category, creators of the Death organization under the supervision of Thunder God "Tykos" Their words are law to the lower grades. Many of them treat badly commoners and Deaths alike, which bringed to the actual situation.

After the rebellious act of Cassandra, (1st grade) Azrah (2nd grade going for 1st), and many other 2nd grade Deaths, the social situation of the Kinassiah has worsened now, and all Deaths, from the lowest grade up, who show even a little too much indipendence or try to do anything that is out of their duty are severely punished, many tortured or even eliminated by the, now enslaved, agents from the first two grades.

More about the Kinassiah


The ground of the Kinassiah is filled with an intricate web of temples dedicated to most of the Gods existing, the most ancient ones (the ones at bottom, usually) are filled with treasures and, obviously, terrible traps and guardians.
Kinassiahn authorized adventurers and Deaths from 4th grade up can freely get access to the temple web, by the four towers, one for every island. Deaths usually train themselves here, and lots of those who overestimated themselves and tried the lower levels have been declared missing or annihilated.

The temples are naturally born from the ground as a religion rises up. At first there's just a little sanctuary on the surface, then, gradually, this one sinks and grows in the shape of an underground tower.
The more that religion grows, the more the temple gets complicated, with statues, relics and treasures.

The time they take to reach the bottom and be expelled in outer dimensions usually is the exact lifespan of that particular cult.
Kinassiah, so, serves even as "dungeon creator".

Ho shit you're alive!? I thought you had died or vanished or got eaten or something, well welcome back and I gotta check those storys out sometime! ^^

Useful stuff to know about Siva's actual condition: (Zoekin take a look, it's useful)

Since she has been set free from Quetzal (and the personality known as "Beast" was defeated) The original Siva is in charge and controls normally her body.
The whispers of "Ripper" inside her mind alwais try to break this feeble stability. If original Siva loses the "mental fight" against Ripper this one takes control of Siva's body. When she falls in this condition, it's just a matter of time until "Beast" awakens again for a while. If this condition isn't stopped at all, and Beast's rage is free to grow according to the context, there could be even a deeper state of mind, causing another mutation into Siva.

basically her mind is sliced in three, distinct, parts

MIND SURFACE
--- original Siva: this one is usually the one in charge. Doesn't have any knowledge about Felarya, maybe, just feeble memories from when she still were a Fire Naga. She hasn't any kind of mutation in this state. It's a normal (just a little more air-headed and childish) giant Naga.
She remembers almost everything about the happenings on Almeshia, even if so much time has passed. (unluckily, has almost forgot about Azrah)

EDGE OF THE ABYSS
--- Ripper: A tricky, naturally evil personality born in the years of sealing in the cave. Quite unstable, but this condition could be turned to advantage, for she has, obviously, the same little knowledge of "original Siva". Think of a good way to trick her and she could be by your side.
Though, hunting or fighting (or witnessing violent events) without anyone to intervene in the surroundings, could cause a lethal lack of control, leaving the Beast in charge. Though, every time Siva becomes Ripper, it's not sure that she'll become Beast automatically. Usually she'll be back to "original Siva" after a little time.
Ripper's mutation level is low, the hands of Siva turn into sharp claws.

ABYSS
--- Beast: A monster guided just by feral instinct, when it's in control, every other personality is sent to unconsciousness until the end of this state. Maybe, they could be awakened just with a direct act into Siva's soul.
The defeating or of the physical body normally stops the worsening of this state, bringing her back to normal.
Without any control, this beast attacks everything in sight, friend or foe alike. In this condition, minute by minute the evoked power potential grows more and more in her body (the powers absorbed by Azrah to become a Death came from here)
Beast mutation level involves the full body, Siva's face is turned into a feral mask, the teeth become shark-like and grow almost from ear to ear, directly on the hardened skin. Her muscles are forced to the limit and maybe even change biological composition.
Beast doesn't know any spell or magic but the amount of spirit and magic energy flowing from her in the advanced state act like an aura of powerful radiations, burning everything on its path.

ANIMAE
When even the condition of "Beast" reaches the limit because of the overload of spiritual and magic energy something terrible is evoked into Siva's body. But there is no information about this yet.



Any questions? Any doubts?

Have fun --- a little special comic about the next chapter XDDD

Hehe great designing here ! ^_^

And this last little comic is just priceless !

Important post:

...Seems like Zoekin gave up and has made an important choice, change account on DA and stop writing... let's hope just for a while.
I don't know the real reasons and actually, I don't want to be invasive and force him to tell me why, or try to convince him to get back... it's his choice and I shall respect it.

I truly can't understand depression or such worries because of my way to live, and think.
We can choose to feel bad or not after all. About everything. It's a matter of self-control amount.

Anyway. This is the stories thread category, so let's talk about that.

This event will slow down Siva Stories a lot...
Ha. To think I just came back and started again to work on it... bad timing, I guess

So I ask the novelists of the community to give a hand, or support the story. I can't write properly a novel, it's a matter of language knowledge. I lack it. I mean, look at the special chapters wrote down by myself. They suck XD
I damn love my characters, Siva, Quetzal, Azrah, Cassandra... I just want to share their stories with you guys and I need help to do that the right way.

SO: here's the favor I'm asking to you people.
If there's someone out there with enough willpower and a little spare time to help, let me know.
Don't worry, this is an eeeasy and light work, like for Zoekin, I'll send a detailed outline "chassis" about the story next chapters. You'll have just to fill up a bit and there is even enough free space for personal stuff. I've never pretended things to get written the way I want to, and never complained about personal add-ons in the stories, so there's even a lot of freedom for your creative brains.
I mean, I'm not searching for just a simple re-writer... I'm in search of someone to SHARE the stories with, and simply create together.

About any doubts or questions about the outline, there's this forum or DA
Don't have any fear to ask something, even to make a change on the outline and so, the whole storyline. I'm here to discuss ^^
Plus, it would be a real SHAME to see the characters slowly fade away again if this stillness condition will get too annoying.

I hope to get some positive response

The chosen writer shall get free artwork requests from my new DA account (link below).

Hmm. I'm not sure the level of writing you'd want...I'm not the best. (You can look at My Stories Thread for a quality check). I'd be willing at least to do editing and be an idea bouncer.
