Description
Eeep! Got lazy! Anyways, the rest of the alchemist character pages.Medium: Watercolor and tea on parchment
From left to right:
Oghma Calflas - the Strategist/Tactitian
Age: 30 [Philosopher's Stone: 24]
Race: Human [b. Capital City, Toรฎle]
Height: 5'9" [Or 6 heads - body]
Anima/Stone: The Leviathan [Water affinity]
The Queen's Royal Strategist, included in the ranks of the Guardian (Queen's) Knights. Hailing from the renowned Calflas family of military strategists, Oghma is an outcast from his lands for having shunned his duty and stolen the Leviathan, the protectoress of the Luna Isles.
Bookish by nature, he prefers his position in the Guild to fighting out in the fields. Is quite skilled with the sword though.
The second youngest to attain a philosopher's stone.
Luc Veniti - the Mage
Age: 25 [Philosopher's Stone: 18]
Race: Human [b. ???, Harmonie(?)]
Height: 5'3" [Or 5 heads - body]
Anima/Stone: Lularum [Wind-Fire (Creation) affinity]
A scholar and a mage, specializing in astronomy, magic and healing arts, Luc found himself an unwitting possessor of a philosopher's stone while aiding Lularum in one of her many disaster-prone accidents. His knowledge of mechanics is purely from watching and following up on Lularum's studies.
The designer of many of Lularum's creations (he irons out the faults, she creates), and the navigator in their plane.
Lularum's summoner.
Is not the wind god Veniti. Last name awarded for being incredibly adept with the wind.
Lularum Ionot - the Mechanic
Age: 25 [Philosopher's Stone: 18]
Race: Spirit [b. Sol Estor, Frozen Lands]
Height: 5'3" [Or 5 heads - body]
Animus/Stone: Luc [Fire-Wind (Creation) affinity]
Being one of the youngest alchemists (and the only girl) in the Guild to attain a philosopher's stone, she was promoted at the age of nineteen to a position of the Guild elites. Field of specialization - mechanics.
Is obsessed with trying to create new and wondrous things (and leaving her mark in history [though for now her workshop is bearing the brunt of her 'marks' even more]).
Luc's guardian.
Terribly awkwardly shy around strangers (which she tries to overcome by over-talking), otherwise over-excitable and hyper (especially with her work).
Gaius Galud Morienus - the Historian
Age: 3016 [Philosopher's Stone: 80]
Race: Human [b. Prama Vikroom (Wind City), Seul Noftra]
Height: 6'1" [Or 6 heads (1 extra for the hat!) - body]
Anima/Stone: Mia [Earth affinity]
The last disciple of the wind god, Veniti, Gaius applied the knowledge he had acquired from his Master to turn his daughter into a philosopher's stone (thereby locking her into eternal youth) to acquire eternal life.
Is considered the father of alchemy by many, having imparted the knowledge of the 'gods' to the common masses by publishing many great tomes upon various fields.
Is unthinkingly loyal still to his long dead Master.
Random stuffs that no one wants (or needs) to know:
- Argh! So many spelling mistakes and sentences I could have worded so much better!
- I've made poor Luc sound like Lularum's unthinking, lowly sidekick, and not an individually strong independent character as he is.
- If anybody actually read all that - while Mia is Gaius' stone, the nature of his stone differs from that of Lularum being Luc's. Their stone is their summoner-guardian 'bond' while Mia is herself a stone (so will remain unaging, never growing, without benefiting from the actual stone) forever.
- I'm horrid at explaining stuffs! Ack!
- And so technically Mia is more than 2000 years old, but is physically and mentally six.
- Gaius' place of birth is no more - half of it fell down to ruin, and the other half is the Capital city of Harmonie, used to seal the 'gods'.

I love love love love those.
It looks like character description pages from some sort of game manual, only more beautiful. More like from an old book, I love the antique touch of the paper and tea but you know that XD
It's been so long since I thought about Harmonie and everything involved so I'm sorry if I ask stupid questions now!
What do you mean, Luc is adept with the Wind? Is it because he can summon Lul, who's a wind/fire sprite?
Luc may not be Veniti, but he looks an awful lot like him! XD
I absolutely love how the pictures of Lul and Luc seem to mirror each other, but really aren't exactly.
Mia has those cat-features, is that because of her being turned into the philosopher's stone or did she have those before? And is she always present or does she need to be "summoned"? (I could ask the same for all of the spirits @_@)
Also, do you become immortal when creating a philosopher's stone? The age details confuse me a bit, or do peopl ein Harmonie just get really old?

Thank you~! At the end of the day, even though these initially were simply rough doodles that I pinned up on my board when working for random clothes/objects references, when I started colouring them, I did want them to look like something out of a game manual or guide book or something. 
Anyways, I don't mind answering questions! Infact, I love doing so!! X'D So anyways (prepare thineself for a barrage of long boring answers! XD)
1- Ne, ne, Lul's a fire elemental spirit. No windiness in her at all! (Aside from whatever effects she might inherit from being bonded to Luc!) It just that... Luc himself is more proficient with wind. As in, its easier for him to manipulate things with that element as compared to the others. Infact, he has such a strong affinity with wind that it could be compared to god like levels~ (ahem~ XD)
2- Ahem~(2) XD
3- Mia - nope, Mia's always had those ears. Like Lularum she's actually a spirit. Unlike Lularum though, she's from the Basonian empire (the land of the ultimate rejects), where the humans openly married spirits and so... in Lul's time all the people there have cat ears and tails, humans and spirits.
Summoning - no, no~! All spirits are always there! They're like any other normal people! The summoning is actually the drawing upon the magic from the spirit, sort of like calling it forth for them. Its actually a surge of their inner magic which is held in check by the bonding. Basically... its kind of like, a spirit is filled up with so much magic (since they're made of that, rather than earth) that if left unchecked, they could unknowingly cause disasters to happen (from angry people blowing towns up, or slightly miffed spirits inadvertently dropping cooking pots on their significant others... X'D)
4- Yip~! The philosopher's stone is the key to immortality! With that one will never age, never die. People in Harmonie don't have such long life spans at all! Normally from 80-100 years. Infact, more often even less (since they always seem to be at war...
Er.... did I miss anything...? I hope not!
I shall stop eating your head off now!! X'D

XD Does Luc being awesome with wind inspired by suikoden luc? XP
But haha... I agree with Joey, nice bit about his last name! Also agree with her about the Luc and Lul being together on each pic but reversed +_+ Really nice!
Always liked Luc XD so I know he's a strong independent character on his own from all your other work, don't worry!
I like how I recognize all of the characters here from previous work XD I think Gaius might be one of my favs... << Old men with wizard hats always rock! Especially clothes that resemble Gandalf XD yaaay
Thanks for sharing these four with us ^__^-b

Ahem...
Actually...
.................yes.
Stupid, ne? And in a way incredibly unoriginal. But my 16-year old self was obsessed with sulky Luc and mystic Leknaat. Actually, I still am. :'D But anyways, around that time this Luc and Veniti got created. XD

Oooh! I love the bit about Luc's last name. And just love the sketches of him and Lul in general. I like how they're reversed...like slightly different poses, but right out of each other's scene. It almost makes it feel like they exist together but on two different sides of reality or something. I dunno...I'm rambling. But really I like it! ^^
And Mia is just too cute. XD

How did I miss replying to this comment of yours? D: It made me very happy!
That was the effect I was sort of aiming for (though, I fear in the actual display in the end that might just have been lost) - Lul and Luc mirroring each other! ^__^ Nah, you're not rambling at all! It actually is like so for them, almost like the two do exist on different planes but together make up one complete Stone/person - one would not be able to exist without the other.
Anyways, thank you! XD

Yaaay 
The lul, luc character sheets were my favorites *_* The wings!! I'm quite curious about Luc now, those wings totally had me thinking "Oooooh! Veniti!" Must know more about the wings! And the staff is pretty cool too!
Meh, I was the first to see these and probably the last to comment on them XD

Its a... little Leviathan statue! X'D (Originally he was going to hold a Queen chess piece, but then I figured his stone's physical form can be that little blob! :'D)
Anyways, thank you! ^___^ Er... Luc's wings are just... there. :'DDD Kind of like a depiction of the 'spirit'? * and so... adds the cheesiness of wings* Or true self unrestricted by worldly forms and what not? *babbles rubbish* Unlike Lul, he actually really doesn't have those wings! XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Ah, I sort of figured it was a Leviathan statue. Wings can never be cheesy (in my book at least)

An easy way to fill up an empty looking page! X'D (Actually I'd always wanted to draw all of the stones with their alchemists sooooo... :'D )
And you should!

Thank you! ^____^ Em... I don't know really? Just random wooshes? If I'm really confused, I sometimes try draping a huge cloth on my arm to see how a sleeve would go or something like so?

Gone! They were part of the Airship series, shown at the Grey Noise (Lahore) exhibition!
(They were actually character guides to the five pages)
