Description
It’s been years since I drew my fan Gen last, and it was time for an update to their design. With all the recent Engelbaum appreciation floating around as well as many new and old fan Gens popping up, I couldn’t help myself from joining in.
Tiresias, tied to the color Tanzanite, is one from the Indigo Realm. The basic details about Tiresias are unchanged from the original design years ago, such as their Genstone being related to the sixth chakra, the third eye, and located on the forehead. They still have the ability to foretell future events, yet choosing to be vague about the details when confronted. Tiresias adores researching (mostly useless) information, same as always.
In the earlier days, Tiresias would often leave their home in the Indigo Realm and spend much of their time in other Realms. They used to consider themself a shaman and one in tune with nature, acting more like a hermit and enduring an isolated period of time of inner discovery away from the contact of others. Eventually, they were drawn back to their home, thanks to the appeal of new data to collect as well as being charmed by the power of music.
Being tied to Tanzanite, with its many shades combined together from blues to purples and even more, Tiresias is on the edge of many different things without being limited to just one. This can also be seen in their fashion choices, although they’ve accepted a more digital inspiration for what they wear currently.
Tiresias still has wings, but they’ve adapted into a more casual form, which can even interact with various technologies Tiresias is prone to using. This particular wing appearance is similar to external compact speakers with many wires, as can be seen wrapped around the upper arms. With the way things have turned out, I’d expect Tiresias’ home to be a warzone of wires and electronics strewn around like a nest.
In the end, Tiresias has evolved into a kind of technology addict who enjoys munching on information and drinking in music. Even then, they still have visions of the future that must be attended to, especially if friends are at risk.
