Hey! I've been working on my custom. I've had a lot of fun with it, but I think I've gone a little overboard. Can you read it over and tell me what you think?

Also, do these wolves have or have the potential to have supernatural abilities of any kind? If not, I'm happy to leave the stories surrounding my custom as stories- Superstition passed down through the generations, exaggerated by time and fear of Alphonse and his Vachen.

. The Plague Beast .
Vachen Female

Both human and Ikal alike know this creature to be The Plague Beast. It is unknown if Alphonse calls it by a more personal name, and it seems unlikely that the Beast is intelligent enough to name itself.

Very little is known about the Plague Beast, but there are many legends surrounding it. It is said that the Plague Beast is an Omen of Death, and that it brings terrible sickness upon people who gaze upon it and that pestilence will ravage and leave barren any fields upon which it treads.

The Plague Beast itself seems to be a mindless container for disease and death. Its yellow eyes are lifeless and hollow, but have an unnatural glow. Its body is emancipated, its fur long and limp, ranging from an army green and darkening to almost black. Its ears and tail also hang limp, reacting only to select outside stimuli. This creature shows very little to no body language.

It does not have horns, and the spines along its back are chipped, cracked, broken, or missing altogether. It makes them appear uneven and unnatural, like yellowed bones jutting from its already skeletal frame.

The Plague Beast's sigil is a black insect. It resembles a large mosquito with the vicious jaws of a stag beetle. In addition, the Beast is decorated with charms resembling the insect on its sigil. They are messily braided into its long fur, concentrated around its neck and chest. These charms are made of silver metal. In the main body of each charm, a random precious gem is embedded.

Some people claim that Alphonse has enchanted each of the Beast's different gems with a different plague. The Beast then uses these enchanted charms to summon swarms to infect targets with a disease of its Master's choosing.

Finally, the Plague Beast is constantly shrouded by a foul mist. The mist seems to emanate from the creature itself. It is the same sickly green color and smells of decay. Some even say the Beast is hollow within and able to exhale endless quantities of airborne plague at Alphonse's command.

I don't remember if they have powers or not, to be honest. lol Whimz would know better 8D

Whim pls whar go. xD

Work probably ate Whimz again *nodnod*

And hey, for any lurkers about, that flatsale is still going on on the first page! 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are still available owo

S... should we punch work and make it spit her out?

Yes, yes you should I'd love to see that Dys. :p

Lemme re-read that and answer you better. Brief skim to catch up. -rattles bars of work-

So I dont see any issues with that!
The gem stry would be just superstition - but! The mist is allowable. While they dont have powers per se, there are special ikal that have traits resembling elementals. These traits, like ice spikes, fire, mist in your case, are very weak, ie, a flaming tail (like Anthro's Hex!) can not affect the environment, but might be too hot to touch directly. (No crazy advantages, basically.)

Dys vs Work. Round 1. Ding!

:o Sounds good. It makes sense to me that there would be a lot of legend about the wolves and Vachen in particular, since they're such scary creatures. xD

-nodnodnod- Yes~!
Alphonse has certainly lived a long life - he might be the source of some of the myths, but you never know.. ;]

rofl. I'll probably write up plenty of random legends. I had fun thinking of them.

That would be fun to see what you come up with..!

Ooh, I'm gettin ideas for our halloween thread...

lmao I'm amused my Hexynia was used as an example. XD You know I'm wanting to eventually get her updated to the Vachen lineart, yes, Whimz? *chuckles*

Yes. -shameface- I have so many stuffs yet to do in regards to updating everyone.
Uh, for instance - finish your Egyptian brood. Mama and Papa are about 3/4 done if I quit procrastinating. :p

lol There's no rush. XD I know you've been doing this on your own and that RL has not been playing nice with you about it. *sets work on fiiiiiiiiire*

<33 I knoww but I'd like to get more done, haha.

lol I bet, Whimz XD

So how is you these days? :]

The usual. Gparents still get into yelling arguments with eachother at least once a day. So I either go for a walk or stay hiding in my room so I don't get drawn into the middle of it or get snapped at for no reason. You?

Ah thats not fun. :(
Im alright, but both my bosses are telling me to "refocus" on work. Ive been really out of the loop I guess.

*cuddles* That's no good... Hopefully they let up on you. You've been sick and dealing with other RL things, yes? *pets* Plus moving Uoi here.

*stares at #5 in the FS* Why is coming up with a name for you so hard so I can buy you... *stares more*

-sigh- yeah.. I know where theyre coming from though, as employers. The one I like more, in particular, I hate disappointing. He been wanting to go on the road to sell a product in four months.. and I need to be able to run the store. I know hes nervous about that.
