Description
Iolo's new ref layout 'cause the old one was crappy.Town: Morran Forest
Name: Iorwerth (Welsh name meaning "Handsome/worthy lord")
Pronounced: “your-wear-th”
Known as: Iolo
Pronounced: “yo-lo”
Gender: Male
Age: 53. Iolo’s rate of aging is very much lower than a humans and he could live up to a few hundred years old.
Height (not including antlers):
Faun: 5’ 2”
Stag: 6’0”
Taur: 6’4”
Magic: Encourages growth in plant life. At the moment he has no control over it but when he regains some of his memory and unlocks his "Deity" form he will recover the full (or near full as it may be in Hetherev!) extent of his power.
Personality & other Info:
Iolo is utterly fascinated by plant life and spends all his time discovering their properties and looking for new species he can study. There’s rarely a time when there aren’t one or two bundles of herbs drying from the sides of his satchel (hemp, not leather!) to sell on his next trip into a town/village. He prefers fresh ingredients for his own poultices and medicines. Naturally, his knowledge also extends to the creation of poisons though he would never sell these and would only use them in dire situations. He is a wholly non-confrontational individual, he has a deep fear of any predator based beings (though this may lessen with positive interactions
Though timid, Iolo is quite friendly and does enjoy the company of others when he gets to know them. He probably wouldn't know what to do about any romatic advances and they would probably be met with a great amount of stuttering and blushing in response to even the most casual flirt!
Iolo’s favourite food is mushrooms! He would never eat any meat (including fish) and the sight of meat/blood really unnerves him.
Mount
Name: Owain - "Oh-wine"
Species: Snow Leopard
Personality: Playful and friendly. Kitten-like.
Other: Because of Iolo's fear of killing, Owain only eats fish and does so out of Iolo's sight. He also likes some of Iolo's cooking but has to be careful not to eat too much of it as his body is not suited to digesting it. Though very friendly to anyone he meets, if your character attacks Iolo be warned, Owain will defend him aggresively.
Missing Items
Golden Circlet.
Difficulty: Very hard, this is Iolo's most important lost item (though he of course doesn't realise that right now...) so it can't be too easy to find because it's very small/would move Iolo's plot forward to quickly!
Location: Somewhere in the Kobekan mountains. Perhaps a ravine or cavern. May have attracted magical beasties because of it's strong magic, so might be guarded.
Properties: This circlet will unlock a big chunk of Iolo's memories and also his powers. He will be able to take his fourth "deity" form and will be able to manipulate certain parts of nature to his will. Won't be as potent as in his normal world and so he will lose most of his personality when in his "Deity" form so he will only take it when in very bad situations, since he will often forget the purpose of why he took it and start doing something else... Mostly just making stuff grow XD
Tattered Note Book.
Difficulty: Slightly difficult but only cause it's kind of small!
Location: Somewhere in Ventry, perhaps a book store or Tinker's packs.
Properties: This is a note book filled with Iolo's research into plants... It only really has value to herbologists/alchemists. It does have some recipes for potent potions and poisons so could be dangerous in the wrong hands. But only if the finder could be bothered and able to decipher Iolo's scrawling, spidery, handwriting! This item would unlock Iolo's emotional memories, remind him why he was alone when he fell through the rift into Hetherev, who he is and some of his history.
Red Cloak.
Difficulty: Not very hard at all... it's a bright red cloak, I'm pretty sure you'd notice that on a sandy beach!
Location: A beach on Mellekori Island.
Properties: It's a cloak... it keeps him warm and less nekkid.
Is there anything you feel very STRONGLY that your character NOT be drawn doing?: Iolo should never be seen as being actively aggressive, rude, loud and NEVER eating meat!

Nice updates! I love all of the info crammed into there.
(Man, once I finally get over my artblock and get some Tavra-art done, I should just... update her sheet as well. :I Her costume design currently is annoying as butts!)
I love your lost gear info -- his circlet sounds amazing!

Haha luckily costume design isn't an issue for Iolo's sheet since he's almost always nekkid! But I'm now gonna re-do Bryn's and Tegan's sheets too and both of them need a wardrobe update! But yes, when Iolo eventually finds that the storyline will start heating up pretty quickly, really need to work on weaving all my characters' stories together more before I do that though. Eugh artblock sucks, hope you get out of it soon!!

Totally busted through it and am making crazy progress in between popping onto the internet and chatting with people! I think your new ref has really helped to remind me that I love this community and the artists and characters who are a part of it. Thank you!
Nice -- all of your characters will eventually be coming together then?

Ahh awesome^^ Yeah, I feel I've really neglected my OCs recently, been faffing around with other stuffs too much! Look forward to seeing more of you then, really want to get back into the community more!
Yeah, the eventual plan is to start introducing scenes from their past so people can see the relationships between them all and then what's currently (or at least about to start) happening will all make way more sense. But essentially Iolo and Bryn are brothers, Tegan's their best friend and Cariad has been sent to kill Iolo. Basically once Tegan enters the Boneyard and Cariad gets settled in the mountains everything's gonna start kicking off for these guys XD

Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, but I do love seeing concrete storylines for various characters forming, and it's nice not to have them rely on other players to advance, too (one of the things I love about Hetherev, not being a terribly speedy art-er!) Are Bryn and Tegan going to meet up with Iolo eventually, in that case? Are they going to confront Cariad on the mountain? That strikes me as somewhat unlikely, but tossing her into the volcano is an epic thought!

Yes, yes I do and as someone who's very easily distracted it may end up being too much for me to handle but I've been building their plot in my head for ages now, just need to get it into art form! But yeah, I'll definitely involve other characters if I can but as you say, this way I can push the main plot at my own pace. Bryn already knows he's looking for someone, he's just gotta figure out who and then he can start searching properly, so I'm gonna rotate where each character is... Bryn is going next to Moran where he'll meet someone who's already met Iolo and realize that's who he's searching for, but Iolo will already have moved to Aspik where he'll be leading healing classes for a while at the Academy, Bryn will join the Explorer's Guild in order to gain funding to travel around in search of rumours of Iolo's whereabouts and end up trailing Iolo around Heth but a few locations behind. Meanwhile, Tegan will enter the Boneyard and be able to watch the activities of the others through a portal and so will learn that Cariad has entered Heth in search of Iolo and have to find a way to break out to help them. Cariad will be building her strength and causing general carnage in areas around Kobekan, possibly team up with other Heth badies and eventually start making her way towards Iolo using her supernatural tracking ability. So yeah, pretty long, convoluted plotline with lots of opportunity to add secondary stories involving other Hetherians (no idea what the term is for the people who fill Heth XD )! Not sure where their final encounter will be but it'll be somewhere suitably dramatic like the volcano I'm sure!!

I love this! It will be really satisfying to see all of this come to life in art form. As you get time to work on it, know that at least someone is rooting you on throughout! Keep it up when you get a chance!

That's great encouragement, thank you^^ And I really would love to get it done at somepoint, that's why I'm currently ironing out character designs, personalities, histories etc! I'll get there eventually I'm sure XD
