_"The warrior bat shrugs off the knee in just a moment, and oh would you look at the terrifying fury on that face! He barrels down at the dragonborn, and—ooooh, blazes, eats a mouthful of sand as Golalud slams him to the ground!"_

_"Vauruk kicks back, buys space, and up he gets! Known for his tenacity, that one. But you can see it, he knows he'll have to think of a different strategy if he wants to get at Golalud—and here he comes!"_

This is a page from a comic that wolfmirage(https://inkblot.art/profile/wolfmirage) and I did for ArtFight 2023. It stars my bat boy Vauruk the Formidable and wolfmirage(https://inkblot.art/profile/wolfmirage)'s Kaldov Golalud. We intend to upload the pages of this series cooperatively, alongside the accompanying writing, over the next few days. The content will include violence and mild gore, and pages containing the latter will be tagged as such when warranted.

if 2 barrels are cool, 3 barrels gotta be mega cool

another one from 2022

This character was formerly an expert in securing, testing, filtering, storing and creating transport containers for precious water. He or she was accomplished at the digging of wells, understanding the patterns in trees, ravines, hills, and vegetation in arid regions in order to better guess where a source of water might be rooted out. There is a 3 in 10 chance this valuable individual also knew the art of water dowsing with a forked stick, and has an 89% chance of finding water in an area with just a witching stick.

Just in time as I blocked the fangs of a husk with the shadowy blade. Firing my gun while pushing against the undead at an angle, a bullet bounces around before killing two more undead. Kicking the increasingly angry undead husk in the stomach I cut its head in half. Growling I coat my free arm in shadows to create a shadow blade construct like a Warforged arm. Just with shotgun like barrels embedded near the tip of the large shadow construct. The fight after that was just sickeningly easy but we had to move things were going to devolve soon. I could just feel that warning for some reason as if instinctively.

"Hummingbird how can I fight like this? How do I know **** was going to get worse? As far as I remember I'm from a different world and time."

[That's what Limbo does. It puts people like you into timelines of their original world. Into a version of their home where the apocalypse runs free unlike the one they came from. You are no longer who you once were but you also are still the same person. You are someone who was but another you, a you who LIVED the start but fell prey to anomalies caused by the world. Would you like to see your basic Biographical Data to understand this? It won't fix the holes in your mind but it'll help you know who you are for now.]

"Roger dodger, show me as we move."

[Name: Dakota Levi Carter, Sex: Male, Age: 625
Occupation: Special Forces Adventurer
Curse: Timeless - Can not age pass physical peak till soul has fallen or risen. Impossible to achieve.
Boon: Eternal Marksman - Growth Weapon & Gun Assistant
Familiar: Grendel (Alpha Void Stalker)
Race Perk: Human Adaptability, Void Stalker
Affinity: Shadow Domain, Hunt Domain
Heritage: Artemis's Hunter(Descendant), Hestia's Hearth(Descendant), Orion's Legacy(Descendant) Human
Corruption: N/A (No Perks)
Neutral: 999,999,999% (Unchanging) (Stay The Path, Unwavering Chaos, Unwavering Morals)
Purity: N/A (No Perks)]

[Your character traits of both worlds have really made you luckily and unlucky with a permanent alignment. You'll never get anywhere but be dragged back here, only to be revived, just to die again and again. But as God's exist in this timeline very much so, by being here you do get some advantages through it. Which has helped you know certain things instinctively. Note: Hestia is one of the only twelve Holy God's left untainted thus she will seek to protect you from most things, like cold and hunger.]

Ducking under some collapsed rubble making a short tunnel I listen and check my biography. So this all started when I was potentially twenty-five, possibly earlier. Then sometime during the start of the end some time fuckery got me and possibly shredded my soul. Just enough that Limbo decided to paste my ass into a broken me. Followed by dumping me somewhere random, leaving it to time to decide where and when to vomit me out. Hestia is in my family though so that's kinda awesome, she's well essentially SUPER MOTHER basically.

Don't remember jackshit about if I have parents here, if I do they're fucking dead. Unless Hestia is my mother and my dad was basically just a regular Human. A cookie dropped onto my head suddenly, grabbing it off my head. I looked at it. It's a regular cookie but with chocolate chips arranged into a heart, yep super mom. Grendel also seemed to have got something, but well she ate it quickly. Shrugging I took a bite from the cookie I had received. Huh cinnamon was mixed in and it tasted like pure diabetic love… I am fine with this.

[Balance: $32,000]

[You had earned quite a bit from your earlier fight but Lady Hestia thought it best to mess with me. She drives a hard bargain, she has asked me to give you extra for learning your a Demi-God essentially, because you're her son, so you can buy some of the metaphysical traits for your survival. Do it or she nags my spiritual ass, please. Don't ever give her a reason to lecture you. She's scary when serious and mad, yet adorable and tiny.]

"Pffft I think I like this new hell already, because momma has my back literally. Plus free cookies... So what survival boosting stuff can I get that my heritage doesn't cover?"

[There's quite a few but I have some suggestions of both metaphysical traits, Assistant Upgrades, and growth upgrades for your weapon. As with the amount you have you can currently buy these all.]

[Magical Damage - $2,000
Second Shift (SMG MP5, 200 Double Drum Mag) - $5,000
Ultraviolet UV Flashlight attachment - $1,000
Adaptive Silencer Attachment - $2,000]

[Research Function - $5,000
Gear Repair Function - $7,000]

[Chameleon - $2,000
Fall Nullification - $4,000
Inhuman Sight - $2,000
Internal Regeneration - $1,000
External Regeneration - $500
Beastial Speak - $500]

[Would you like to purchase these for $32,000 GD?]

"Yes, if it'll keep me alive and please the momma bear. I know it's not good to worry such a pure soul, especially if she's my new mother."

[Integration of Biological Traits 40%... 70%... 95%... 100%]

[Gun upgrading…. gun name found: Heathen]

[Research and Repair Functions restored to primary functions.]

[Beastial Speak: Understand the general conveyance of a BEAST type entity's words and intentions. BEAST type entities understand you completely.

Chameleon: You've adapted to be able magically camouflage yourself from the perception of most creatures.

Inhuman Sight: Just think of a vision mode and your sight shall shift to it. (True Sight, Tremor Sense, and other high end sights are not included.)

External Regeneration: Can't regrow limbs instantly but after a month you'll have it back. Smaller stuff heals by the second or hour depending on severity. Metabolism uses biomass to heal if no sufficient food source is eaten.

Internal Regeneration: Regenerate and heal those horrendously exploded or soupy organs, ruptured veins, or broken bones with top priority! Consumes considerable biomass and energy!

Fall Nullification: Fall Damage? Never heard of it.]

-Kirantavva is based in DND 5E!-

-She is a tiefling druid who specializes in wildshape! (usually into a Direwolf)-

+++

+Kirantavva is a cynical druid tiefling with a knack for getting into trouble! She enjoys the occasional pickpocketing for some shinies and snacks from unfortunate townies! She has a trouble with ale and sometimes gets too carried away with a good spirit or scotch! Do you want her to join your party? Offer her a new pet and a couple of barrels of beer, and you'll have yourself a new member+

+Her past is riddled with guilt and shame. Born into a cult and indoctrinated at a young age; Kiran was the result of infidelity by her mother. She was used as a scapegoat by the cult leaders, and called a "devil-incarnate" for her tiefling features in an all-elven/human "community." She was lucky enough to meet an elder deer-goddess named Haveskrava as a young child, which had taken pity on her. Together with her new mentor; she learned the way of druidism and wild magick. Once she turned 18, she managed an escape from the cult.+

+Kirantavva is engaged to her darling s/o Therese! Between them, they have 3 children. Kiran is a stay-at-home mom as most of her horticulture work is done in the greenhouse and garden located in her cottage's backyard. Despite Valentina and Liesel trying to pluck all her plants, she loves them both dearly. She found Valentina as an infant in a ransacked village with little to no survivors and has raised her as her own since then. Liesel is her sweet half-orc stepchild that belongs to Therese. She's currently expecting her third kid; Eider; who was immaculately conceived with the powerful magic of Haveskrava(The mother-beast.) Both she and Therese are incredibly excited to be welcoming a new kid into the world!+

+Due to Kiran's troubled childhood and adolescence, she had a very lacking education. She's mostly illiterate and struggles very much with reading and writing. She relies heavily on her fiancé and her own determination to learn the common language. Slowly, she's making progress at reading! Although she still struggles with writing.+

+She's allergic to apples but refuses to stop eating them, despite hating their taste. No one really knows why she still tries to keep eating them, but it's probably her trying to will herself out of an allergic reaction.+

+++

Hooch Brewer: Also known as a Winemaker, Beer Brewer, and Moonshiner, those of this former profession sometimes coordinate with a water keeper to secure barrels, hand blown glass bottles and other containers that once stored water. There is a 2 in 10 chance this individual worked as a bartender in his or her local saloon, and if so, will have exceptional knowledge of the locals of that community, and a bonus of +1 points in both the streetwise and cooking skills.
