__________
...slowly trying to get rid of these..... now only three to go

as requested in the poll, the fourth sheet is about Balefar


More Interactive Sheets here:
Sywyn Nym'el
Elyon Maebaen Adworeth
Thadras-De
Rhistel Aidan


How does it work?
The Interactive Sheets allow me to know which kind of informations you'd like to know about a specific character: you can ask questions about the subject of the sheet and I'll collect all the answers in a list in the Artist Comment under the picture for everyone to read.
Rules
- Your question should be preceded by a "" (the bulletred emote)
- Each comment should not contain more than 3 question
- You're allowed to comment multiple times
Example:
Why does Sywyn suck so much?
How many times in a week does he change his underwear?
Is he going to die painfully somewhere in the future?

Simple like that XD

BALEFAR
the Vudash (emanation of the Negative Energy Plane)

Some References


Info
  • Vudash is the name with which Balefar's race is known.
  • Balefar is a creature that can change his material form at his will (even if he tends to use always the same humanoid form when interacting with other people, in order to be at least recognized) so he could have any form... sometimes I take some "artistic freedom" with him and I draw him with... scales, horns, strange glyphs, holes, wings, tentacles and other creepy stuff, but it's not something about his design or his nature, it's just for illustration purposes..
  • His actual form (shadow elf) was chosen by Thadras. Balefar at first was used to met the dragon every time with a different body, thus pissing Thadras off VERY much. After few days, the dragon "commanded" the vudash to keep always the same form for the sake of his sanity (:°D), and he also chose the form he "liked the best" among those the vudash had ever shown. Balefar thought that Thadras request was acceptable and did as he told him to... Now he still keeps that form.
  • His body and everything he wears is something he made up in order to interact with the creatures on the earth... he really doesn't have any preferences about clothes because is something he doesn't care about: he uses them because he know that humanoid creatures are usually dressed and the only thing he learned about the issue (because he thought it was an useful information) is the difference between male and female clothes... nothing more. He will most probably create clothes similar to some he saw on someone else, just to be sure to do it right, that means that he could be dressed in any way :°D
  • For weapons, it applies the same rules about clothes: in his real form he doesn't have a body and his combat doesn't involve any weapon, but only magic and energy manipulation. In his material form, he made sure to be able to use any kind of weapon with his new body (just like the Matrix, you know? He... downloaded all the informations about fight styles and weapons XD) but he still doesn't use them, preferring his magic and his own body as his main weapon
  • He will never be able to have proper feelings like humans, he simply can't do it, it's not in his nature... the only way he has to feel something is "perceiving" sensations through someone else's mind... in this way he can see what feelings are, and can understand them (even in their illogicality)... Anyway, some of his later behaviours made think he could have developed a sort of "sensibility", even though no one is really sure about it
  • He's a soldier and he was sent on the earth by his superiors to accomplish an important mission (yeah, always the same issue of the prophecy involving dark lords arising and stuff u__ù..)
  • Even though we can hardly talk about "friendship" between Thadras and Balefar, I can say that their relationship is kinda genuine and very far from being just a "partnership of convenience"... actually, there's no convenience at all in this partnership :°D Thadras should help Balefar, but he hardly care about the vudash's mission
  • He really isn't actively evil... when talking about "negative energy" I strictly refer to the kind of energy that compose the plane more than a real alignment of the creatures that comes from it... in any case, Balefar's actions are first and foremost dictated by his "superiors", and even though he has his own free will, he only uses it when he's not forced to do otherwise
  • Vudash hierarchy is based on subjects' powers: the most powerful the spirit is, the most intelligent and with more self awareness it will be, and, consequently, the higher in the hierarchy it will place. Balefar is two ranks lower than the most powerful among his race, and there are only five other vudash with his same power.
  • Even though he does interact with the other people of Animae, he doesn't share any particular relationship with any of them, mostly due to his strange nature.
  • He doesn't need to eat and he never does, even though Thadras tries to force him eating things sometimes...
  • Since they're made of energy, Vudash can't be killed. Even though they can be "destroyed", they always come to "life" again in their own plane of existence. They're immortal. Anyway, they can be subjugated, sealed (and in some cases, even absorbed) by anyone who is powerful enough to handle the energies that compose them.
  • The "111 Names", even though are called like that, are not really appellations of the vudash. The "111 Names" are 111 mystic words that focus in themselves the whole power of the spirit. Every vudash has them and they're different for each individual: knowing them would mean having full control on the vudash himself, that's why vudash tend to keep them secret.
    Warlocks use the Names in order to evoke the vudash on the material plane, even though only the names of the weakest vudash are easy to find out trough study... the more Names a warlock knows, the greater the control they have over the spirits.



Good game

allora una domanda connessa ma più sensata:
Is he male, female, both or none? (not being human..) Can he take on forms of either gender?

The print and page behind him indicates he's a scholar of sorts. What does he study?
Also, the symbols along the curve and in the circle look familiar. what language are they?

Any particular reason for his choice in the odd upper garment?

solfieri [2010-02-08 02:08:17 +0000 UTC]

Another awesome character and illustration! I love his hair, I wish mine was like that... ç_ç
I have questions about him too:
Do the vudash have gender distinction? In other words, is he really male or just appears as one? I ask because when I read that Thadras chose his current appearance I couldn't help imagining him demanding Balefar to look like some hot woman... (My questions are the stupidest of all xD)
Does he have a "default" appearance in his own plane, or is he simply amorphous?

snowzapped [2010-02-08 00:04:19 +0000 UTC]

Wow! Balefar is very interesting. I love those bits of information about him plus it's funny to think that he's 'friends' with Thadras, the dragon being what he is and all that.

He's my third favorite now. But Thadras and Sywyn are still battling over first place.

I have a question though, how old is he and how old does the human form that he uses look like. I know he can shape-shift or an equivalent of that but I'm just curious because there are times when you draw him older and there are also times when he looks young.

I absolutely love this character! He's definitely intriquing and his story/biography is wonderful, I loved reading about how his race came to be in this form.

If it were his choice, would Balefar perfer to run around naked without having to worry about the thoughts of humans?

What sort of damage can Balefar do with his energy manipulation and magival powers?

What type of powers within these genres does he have?

He's so ADORABLE!!! XD I love the picture, and I have a few questions.. if he's an "emanation" , he's still solid, right? Like you could touch him, he's not like a ghost?
And he didn't EVER want to do something againtst orders, or have some sort of different belief, or show affection towards anybody? EVER??

Ma VERAMENTE stupide, preparati! >.<

Se dell'aspetto non gli interessa niente, perchè si è fatto elfo e così figo? XD E non qualcosa di più comune e stealth, più tipo Arnlaug?

Quindi lui potrebbe prendere proprio QUALSIASI forma? :3 *continua a venirmi in mente lo slime di DragonQuest, ma con l'espressione apatica *

E' possibile ucciderlo? Intendo proprio ucciderlo definitivamente, non spataccare la forma momentanea.

Alcune risposte sono anche peggio :°D preparati!

  • His actual form (shadow elf) was chosen by Thadras. Balefar at first was used to met the dragon every time with a different body, thus pissing Thadras off VERY much. After few days, the dragon "commanded" the vudash to keep always the same form for the sake of his sanity (:°D), and he also chose the form he "liked the best" among those the vudash had ever shown. Balefar thought that Thadras request was acceptable and did as he told him to... Now he still keeps that form.
  • si, può prendere qualsiasi forma :°D
  • Since they're made of energy, Vudash can't be killed. Even though they can be "destroyed", they always come to "life" again in their own plane of existence. They're immortal. Anyway, they can be subjugated, sealed (and in some cases, even absorbed) by anyone who is powerful enough to handle the energies that compose them.

Questo tizio è sempre più bello...
Vado con l'interrogatorio:

In alcuni disegni fa cose strane, tipo gli spuntano ali e code, vomita sangue...etc, In quei momenti cosa sta facendo? è manipolato, combatte, è in contatto col suo capo...?

puoi parlare un pò del culto di Vudash? Come divinità è allo stesso livello di Messirama?

Ho solo due domande stavolta! Complimenti ancora!

allora, tutti i disegni che sono in scraps e non sono nella cartella relativa la storia non vanno considerati... ma mi rendo conto che le persono ci si imbattono ancora :°D quindi presumo li cancellerò del tutto...

yes I call it "spirit" sometimes, because I can't think of a more appropriate word, but he's literally an "emanation" of his plane of existence, that's composed of negative energy (and yes, you're right, he come from another plane )
