Raffles & Giveaways

Noted!! And one other question; if I were to, for example, make a moodboard, and use art I'd drawn of the dragon in my moodboard, would that count for two pieces or just the one? Sorry if this a silly/obvious question, I just want to make sure I'm sticking to the rules ^^"

@Etterath because of the theme just one! I admittedly want to see people stretch creatively in these events. [emoji=fae star size=2] I want to see you all having lots of fun!

Thank goodness, haha ^^" I was prepared to ration my ideas so I didn't go over—thank you for the clarification!!! :D

Acquisition of specimens is probably in his near future [*] [s]have you heard of the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise? it's not a tale the necromantic council would have told you[/s] [/list] [size=2]i opened sims today and this guy decided to materialize. definitely didn't intend this entry to go in the direction it did but am pleasantly surprised.

Been debating on submitting something for The Twisted Maiden or not but thought I would take the chance.

• Thinks she deserves everything she wants.
• Comes across as sweet when first meeting other dragons before showing her cruel true nature.
• Is powerful but jealous of her half sister for earning the favor of the Shade.

And a song for her.

My submissions for the corrupt prince:

• Black sheep of the family whose curiosity of the forbidden led him to seek out the shade in order to both gain the power he believed it could afford him, and also to try and use it to continue his studies the dark arts
• In his pursuit to study all that society deemed taboo and forbidden, he wished to learn the secrets of reanimating the dead and returning them to life, in addition to ways in which he may better control and exploit the shade possessing him for his own gain
• After many years of travel searching for hidden secrets around the world, an attempt to summon and bind the aspect of the shade within him to his own will resulted in his death
• His remains were discovered by a sorcerer, who summoned his spirit and agreed to return him to life in exchange for some of the power and knowledge of the dark arts he gained from the shade
• Underneath the dark markings of the shade, his body has taken on the sickly green hue of a revenant returned to life
• Extensive study of dark magic and artifacts has allowed him to summon up and control the spirits of the dead

You tread gently, looking around at the masquerade for a partner, and yet no one caught your eye. You turn towards the direction where the grand yet gentle music echoed from, and there he sits, a lonely young imperial with a green hat covering most of his face and clothing that covers up most of his body, playing an eerie looking lyre made of bone. He smiles and beckons you forth— and as if the music is enchanted you feel your steps near him. [i]What brings you here tonight, honoured guest? Would you mind having a dance with me? Don't worry about the macabre, it plays itself.[/i] His hands gently grasp yours and spin you into a waltz. His eyes are green as the lushest leaves ever, gorgeous beneath the complementary colors of the green bard's hat. You let yourself sink in, enjoying the dance… ------ He asked you whether you're thirsty, as he led you to a vacant table in a corner. [i]Yes please. Wine if you're fine with it? Of course, my dear guest. I'll serve you well.[/i] The Courtier smiled, set you down very gently, and he sashayed away from you, tail flicking in and out of view as he headed to the drinks bar. You waited; you are patient. He treats you very well. He smiled again, setting down the two glasses swirling with red liquid, and you drank deep. He brought a jar of wine along too besides the cups. He poured, and poured you cups and cups of wine over and over again. Did he not touch his cup? How long has the time passed? You don't know, it felt like a long time, but the time doesn't feel like it existed, nothing did, until you felt the glass slip from your claws and he caught it before it hit the ground, and you slowly slumbered to sleep, before you can comment on his suspicious smirk as he watched you faint… ------ You woke up, slowly, yawning as you stretched your wings against a… sofa? The gentle Courtier that danced with you last night must've set you down here when you went to sleep. Hazy sunlight filtered through the mansion's drapes and pillars, onto your eyes, as you reluctantly woke up. You flipped back to a sitting position, and you fumbled around— —Where are your possessions? Your jewellery and gems, your bags and elegant bits of decoration, your money and treasure. And you remembered the smirk from last night, when he watched you go to sleep. [i]The Courtier.[/i] Who is he, really? The eyes, they are green as poison, and the snakes that curl and slide across his claws— And so you jumped up, through scattered masquerade masks littered on the floor, through the smoke and mirrors, and on the marble floor you slipped, tripped and raced through, and you try to find a trace of him— —You cannot. Only thing that remains is the eerie music of the macabre, echoing from last night, and the trace of wind magic in the distance.[/center] ------ hope you guys enjoyed my entry for the venomous courtier! lore blurbs to clean everything up: [list] [*]The Courtier is the owner of a big mansion although nobody knows it's him. Every full moon in the month, he throws a grand masquerade ball and invites everyone rich to come forth. [*]The Courtier aims at the greedy, the wealthy and the arrogant as his targets. He can manipulate wind magic and poisons to his will, concoting brews that usually put people to sleep before he steals your stuff. The stuff is sent to the poor, so you can take him as Robin Hood? [*]Personality blurb: cunningly clever, can be described as wicked, however he is justical in heart and can be brutal if confronted. Really just wishes to die but running this mansion proves to be his only reason to not die. [*]Being an afficted, he covers up his thylacine stripes with heavy clothing. Has splitting headaches and chronic fatigue during the day, so he usually appears at night. [*]Will grant him swirl eyes if I win him to correspond to his wicked nature. [/list]

I live! I swear I'm not a revenant [emoji=fae laughing size=2] These concepts are all so awesome! I have added all the songs to my personal inspiration playlist, too! Choosing was insanely hard! @counterklock, @SindoreiPony and @VERITASRATIO please expect dragons in your CRs soon. Commentarty on submissions will be below. @/counterklock [s]You and your Star Wars references! [emoji=familiar heart size=1][/s] I love this decadent to the point of decay collector vibe so much and I think it really suits the Corrupt Prince concept! I wish him much success in his collection even if it's scary to think about! @/SindoreiPony I am so jazzed to hear more about interactions between she and Patience! Her song is just great and I love the vibes of her outfit, they're so perfectly "I'm dark despite my prettiness"! @CorvidCarapace This is so so so good, please hold onto this for something because the concept is fantastic! I'm put in mind of Frankenstein and the Reanimator with this truly visceral gothic horror. @/VERITASRATIO an interesting take on the prompt! I love his almost Robin Hood aims paired with brutality and wickedness. Reminds me of a book I love, where a jewel thief points out he robs the rich because they are rich.
