They DID say "steal" the fit, to be fair. Plus I just had to try my hand at drawing the massive tail

#RiteOfPassage Week 1 - What is it?
Rite of Passage (ROP for short) is my main project - I have plans to make it into a JRPG with a heavy Akira Toriyama influence (chrono trigger + dragonball namely), but telling stories personal to me and my interests etc.

There are still loads of places that I want to expand on and small one-off sections but amongst the main continents VIGIL visits each of them at least once for important story beats. There are also tons of historical and strange land masses where magic concentrates and causes strange phenomenon

Final speedfact, she's tied with Anuro for being drawn in the most alternate fits I reckon - including a brief Ring Cats crossover w/ @roboticsteve.bsky.social 's Crimson (check them out btw they're sick)
That'll be it for what was last week's update - next update is worldbuilding!!

Prima power hour! As I mentioned her affinity is in Holy magic which is amazingly potent, but it's her powerful heart that lets her use it with great aplomb - with her specialties being healing, statuses, and a surprisingly strong haymaker!

It's not just a series about aura, hype moments and magic - it's about what magic is and can be, and about this unique thread that ties us all together, about expectations and family, as well as discovery and adventure. I want to make a relatable yet remarkable world

While said world will ideally be host to many magical stories, there is a cast of characters who are central to a main plot that delves into the mystique and central themes of the world.
You've seen me post them a lot till now, but you'll hear more about them in order next week!

#RiteOfPassage week 2 is a buzzer beater but we gotta start somewhere - and we start with Homer!
Homer is a quiet and cautious yet kind man who FIXER - part of a global union of grunt workers basically who do a lot of general work now that magic specialists run amok and charge a pretty penny.

As a Fixer, Homer is specifically an electrician (befitting their Lightning magic affinity), but that was never their true calling - a calling they never got to find as early financial troubles following the disappearance of his father led him to take the safe route - both in work and in life

The body pushed on but the spirit became numb, losing a lot of inspiration and brightness leading to his innate talents dulling over time - but the hardworking kind-hearted man never lost his true character and when push comes to shove Homer's real strengths are his persistence and loyalty

Speed facts:
- Homer's MBTI is INFJ-T.
- Hobbies include reading and fixing machines.
- He tried picking up the guitar but failed. Wants to try again some day though.
- He's literally never taken a day off in his life. Bro is tired
Next week in #RiteOfPassage we'll start talking about ✨ MAGIC ✨

So what makes ROP's world so magical to begin with? It's...well, magic!
How it works specifically in this 'verse is that magic itself is an element - inexplicable chaos energy, that exists within everything, everyone, and beyond. It can be used for day-to-day tasks or combat!

When magic gathers in large quantities, pockets of chaos can emerge where physics are merely a concept, but it can also be used to make the impossible possible. Certain species of fauna, flora, and sentient life also emerge through magical mutation and evolution

Non-sentient, aggressive species are oft called fiends - but those with sentience have rights and protection to allow them to co-exist with the dominant species of humans - though life is rarely so clean and easy.
