• SYNOPSIS •
When a little princess Surentara prayed to the God of War, she expected to save her kingdom and herself from her father's abuse. She got neither- her kingdom fell moments after her God answered, while she got blamed for its destruction. With the Sorcerer King's return looming over its survivors, Suren joins sides with the War God's legion and declares war.

• BIOGRAPHY •
The ostracized princess is the only reason the Kingdom of Jade still stands.Suren's heard it all- too soft, too weak, too dangerous, too much. Born as the antidote to generations not adjusting to the Asura Dragon's legacy, Surentara was a gift...but being Surentara it must have felt like a curse. It seemed everybody had read Suren's destiny- and to them it was either nothing, or something worth taking.Yet the so-called princess-without-destiny was the only one answered by a disgraced God of War when she needed His help. And now, with the kingdom in shambles, Him and his Legion have offered space where not even her own kingdom would.

• BIOGRAPHY •
A son of the Sightgiven bloodline, blessed with incredible spiritual prowess. Becoming a seer, astrologer and herbalist, Belmont would have been a grand spiritual healer......had he not chosen to use those same abilities to kill.Belmont felt god-like, and looked down on what he as Emperor was meant to serve. His daughter and wife treated as mere tools, they both were the first to see the ugliness in his heart, before the Kingdom of Jade died at his very hands. In its final breath, the Kingdom struck back under lead of the kingdom black sheep- his daughter Suren.Yet Belmont had expected his daughter to take a stand, and prepared a spell beforehand to reconstruct his body and restore his life...

• BIOGRAPHY •
A deity so mighty that He would erase His very name from history.Many of his scripts now stand incomplete, yet what parts remains tell the same tale- this is a disgraced God. Yet devotees still whisper affectionately of His Grace, nostalgic for his halcyon days. Yet they gently warn all that wish to become his follower; He is the one who chooses those worthy of receiving His teachings.The God of War and Ash was a brutal force, yet surprisingly he was requested for aid more than ruin. A fervent defender of women and children, He'd answered their prayers and offered shelter and safety in the dark havens of his former temples. And now...in His broken form, he shelters his final devotee- the Princess of the Kingdom of Jade.

• BIOGRAPHY •
Icchamadus, the 70.000 legion of souls fallen to the God of War's onslaught.They are legion, they are one. Yet they also offer wisdom and guidance. Iccham carries many names and forms as they go back and forth through all the souls it carefully contains. Each of them aware yet operating as a single entity, Iccham cannot be understood through mortal logic. They speak in telepathy, and can be a chatterbox when speaking their thoughts clearly. Their words, though wise, hint at the darker aspects of their nature- to ensure any war waged is done in controlled ruthlessness.They were given to princess Surentara 11.000 years ago, and have raised their mortal adoptive daughter according to the laws of the Sightless Legion. In their caring for Suren, Iccham also nurtured her darkness to help her overcome her trauma.
Name: Isolde of BeriachAlias: The Spirit Fire shamanAge: 854 yearsOccupation: ShamanSpecies: Lifegiver (Old Humanity)Height: 150cmWeight: 50kgPowers: Purification, mediumship, sealing and binding, blood magicAlliance: Sightless legion, Lifegiver Kingdom (formerly)Current status: Active
• BIOGRAPHY •
Isolde was the spiritual advisor of Prince Bahatar, until visions of
his final breath began haunting her.It tormented Isolde to the point she was forced to leave behind the Lifegiver Kingdom in search of a solution to help her prince. As she traveled around the scarred world, Isolde found a unexpected lead- scraps of the God of War and Ash, her patron deity and Lord. Alarmed as Bahatar had just committed genocide on the Human deity Pantheon, the young shaman followed the trail and found the Jade Kingdom in ruins.Horrified to see the Vritra kingdom destroyed, Isolde carefully ventured inside...and found the
Barrier of Sealing where the concentration of her Lord's essence sat at its peak.
Name: Bahatar Oya RajesheerAlias: Indra's Golden BloodAge: 8.300 yearsOccupation: Prince of the Lifegiver KingdomSpecies: Lifegiver (Old Humanity), demigod (half Deva)Height: 188cmWeight: 83kgPowers: Blood Magic, neutralizing divinities (killing gods), longevityAlliance: Lifegiver KingdomCurrent status: Active
• BIOGRAPHY •
Bahatar is the current living proof the fight between Indra and Vritra happened.The essence of Indra would go on to live inside Bahatar's bloodline and resurface whenever the strength of the Demigod was needed. And when it became the young prince's turn, it would also expose Bahatar's vicious grudge against the Gods. The gift of his divine ancestor would be used by Bahatar to kill the entirety of the godly Pantheon overseeing humanity, avenging the deaths of those the Asura Dragon Vritra had killed.Though Bahatar insisted he'd done his deed in order to protect Humanity, it created a dire imbalance that would ripple everywhere...including the moment of the Jade Kingdom's impending fall.

I draw OCs and comics!
Yo! I'm Suren, artist and writer from the Netherlands! You'll see me make art of stories I write (the old-fashioned way, not whatever chatgpt is doing) and drawing nothing but my original characters. I have a mixed Suriname, Indian and West-African background and the histories of my cultures can be found n my stories. Sometimes subtle and sometimes very VERY loud. :3
