My Ulysses as a livestock guardian dog (why are so many of my characters lgd coded...) and my RP partner's character as a cat. Ulysses, much like his great, great, grand uncle Sergei, is actually a quivering, neurotic chihuahua inside. Runs in the family.

"Wanna go get lunch?"
The kangal glared, "My livestock?"
"No, silly! There's a Denny's down the road."

Here's a little bit more info on one specific group of olyrm and the strange creatures they use for livestock. - Part 1

Continents:

Dratera
Claiming the position for second largest continent, this land mass consists of a vast arctic tundra that turns from a taiga to a lush northern tropical forest. Teaming with life, this place can also be a nightmare navigating the Shifting Fangs tribe plotted here. They share their home with Cliff Claws, Striker manes, and a few Frost horns that linger to the north.
Fauna from Sapravore and Paleoverus have been implemented to help fill other niches and are kept in order by the larger Draakon species. This makes the continent a special place to cultivate resources as some are kept as livestock, and others are made into guard animals or simply used for their tough hides and bones.

Niatragen
Noted for its otherwise hostile jungles, this is an environment that only three of the main Dragon species are able to navigate with minimal casualties. With the jungles plant life being as carnivorous as most of the dragon species on the planet, all creatures here best be cautious in caring for themselves and their young. With Trees that harbor Vipers Vines, and Two Dragons snaps species; one disguises its intentions in the shape of its cousin, ready to snap up unsuspecting passer-bys, luring it in with undesirable scents. Its also home to your more common carnivorous plants, that are stationary hunters. But don't let your guard down, they could still very easily make a meal of you.
Structures built around the trees high in the canopy are made home by the dragons here, with special precautions to keep the dangerous Vipers Vine from creeping its way in. With Shifting fangs as the guards, and Thorn Spines as weapon builders the two tribes do their best to get along in the hostile environment. The third tribe, a group of Striped Stingers, carves homes out of the trees to create a hive like home. They do not care to coincide with the other tribes and tough it out on their own the best they can.

Osaetas
Known as the coldest habitable continent, only one species can inhabit this place year round. The Frost Horns make great use of this barren tundra, with the seasonal visitations from the Wave breakers and sometimes the Mane Shifters and Razorwings. Merchants from the three visiting tribes are happy to trade with the Frost Horns for their abundance of fats harvested from the cold Tundra life there.

Azakias
Connected to the largest landmass by a line of deserts, its been dubbed its own name. With this continent mainly consisting of prairies and temperate pine forests, this is where you can find the most Elder trees, the tallest species of trees that stretch to the sky, challenging the nearest mountains for the rulers of height, and if hallowed out, can house a few families of dragons. .

Viperia
As the most diverse landmass on the planet, it's also the largest, giving homes to a variety of creatures, large and small. Most of the dragon nations have more than enough land to support each own tribe here. Its most prominent outcropping is the towering mountain named Fyre, after the last great Grandmother of the Fire fangs leader. With both blood lines from the long deceased God and Goddess still thriving on a far off planet. Serving residents to half of the species tribes, its the most culturally diverse as well as environmentally. [Once the acceptance of the return of the true and powerful bloodline, the mountain will become the soon to be new Queen's home and become a welcoming staple for the masses.]

🙥 Karnif Gravy 🙧

The Karnif is a big cat that comes in many subspecies, variations and shapes all across both sides of Atreia. And all of them have one thing in common: They are considered pests and a huge danger for the regional inhabitants, killing livestock, keeping prey animals away and their aggressive nature makes them lose all shyness and go for humans and Daeva alike. So what do you do with such an animal? Well, deal with it like one does with a lot of pests: Eat it! Though caution of what cat to consume, as predators they might bare sickness

The protein rich meats taste is described as being like lean Porgus - a domesticated pig. Others say it is the finest wild game meat they ever had, mild in taste, meaty and dense though a bland enough flavor, it can absorb any seasoning quite well.

In this recipe, we will focus on making a rich, meaty Karnif Gravy. For this, you either take the legs or in this case, the neck of the animal.
Remove the meat of the neck, so you are left with only with the non meaty parts of the neck and cook the neck for about one and a half to 2 hrs. The meat itself will be roasted and all its dripping fats and remains of the meats crust and caramelized bits will be kept. Now get the stock of the cooked neck and give it to the cooking trey. Boil, scrap and reduce. Now cut the neck meat parts in fine bits and give them to the gravy. Let them simmer with the rest of the heat and done.

A very simple gravy, that surely can be improved upon.

```"Surely you knew our paths would cross again. You, who locked away me and so many others in chains, treating us no better than livestock... You had your chance to better yourself, and yet, you squandered it. You came to take that which was not yours. Now I will show you where this Path you have chosen will lead you..."```

This was a big experimental piece that pushed me out of my comfort zone,

but thankfully, I had a lot of help from my wonderful friend, Noctem-Tenebris!



This design is now non-canon, but I am still proud of how this painting came out.

I think one of the funniest ways two of my OCs met is when Luin (half-elf dude) met Tristan (human embodiment of puppy excitment) through accidentally blowing up a tavern during a fight

Thankfully, no one was harmed (safe for the wall that now sports a new entrance), so the town's mayor was ready to let Luin go in exchange of a small fine and paying for the damages he caused. Or, since he was "one of those monster hunters", he could go hunt that fucking unicorn that's been plaguing the region for a few years now, haunting the forest and destroying their crops and livestock.

Luin, who knows very well that unicorns aren't a thing but didn't want to argue about their (non) existence, tried to explain that his specialty was more like exorcising spirits, and the mayor said that was fine, but then Luin needed to pay now, or he would enjoy a free tour of the town's jail

Which then led to the above exchange
