Elrick, the Hungry Shadow


OK, the first human so far, well kinda. He is Elrick, Chosen of the Ebon Dragon. The Ebon Dragon is the Demon Lord that Chevroth helps comprise. He is, at the moment, kinda possessed by Kurzon, and well, theyre pretty much the same, only Elrick only summons tentacles out of shadows, and only those tentacles carry the Curse of Desire. He carries out his Masters' mission effectively by being the most charming serial rapist in Creation. Dont ask unless you want a HUGE explanation.

Kurzon, That Which Writhes in Shadows


HAD SOOO MUCH FUN WITH HIM!!!!
He was about the first i designed, and almost the last i drew: the Defining Soul of Chevroth, the Mother of Vice. He is the typically tentacle monster, with the slinking through shadows and raping whomever crosses his path. However, the power of his that i enjoy the most is that his touch, with ANY part of his body, makes his victim desire. Desire him, desire sex, desire sex with him, or with anybody at that rate. I was going for lust, but not the enjoyment of lust, just the burning longing, with no fulfillment, ecstasy but no release. Something truly tormenting in my opinion, to want and never truly have

Argalion, Collector of Selves


The Collector of Selves, The Warden Soul of Chevroth. Greed. I like the idea of him, especially since the idea of making him a frog came almost accidentally. He is the first male youve seen, and theres one more, well two more but one of them isnt technically in this group. This guy carries every treasure you could imagine (material and intangible) in the bag on his back (gotta love those interdimensional spaces!) and he's willing to trade anything, for the right price. His personal goal is to collect the souls and/or destinies of...welll... pretty much anyone who has them.

can i just say that i think the tongue makes the whole picture? :D

Culaera, Madien of Shattered Mirrors


This would be my Pride Character, Culaeara, the Wisdom Soul of Chevroth. I kinda wanted this almost-perfection thing about her, with a few off things: the fit of her kimono, the symetry of her head thingy and her unusually pointed chin. She has no real form of her own, only that of people looking at her, although unless she is deliberately disguising herself, she is always seen in her own clothes. She kinda does this whole prey-on-peoples'-self-image thing going on: enlarging her opponents vanity or insecurites and tearing them apart with them.

Acraema


Acraema, the Reflective Soul of Chevroth. havent quite found a good title for her yet. Im thinking something along the lines of "the Hollowing Cry" or something like that. Going along with my 7 deadly sins idea, here we come to sloth. Confused? Don't be. The original definitions of sloth (according to a wikipedia page) wasnt actually laziness. It was the inaction that came from Despair. Something about succumbing to despair being an abandonment of God as your source of joy or something like that. So Acraema is kindofa banshee. She either lets out a deep rooted wail, which forces her despair upon her listeners, or a painful shreik, which literally makes solid objects hollow and shatters them. Havent decided if i want the tears around her eyes to be clear,stained with eyeshadow, or tears of blood

Dang i have GOT to find the paper that i wrote these names on!



Im particularly pleased with how this came out! Forgot her name, but she is the Indulgent Soul of Chevroth, Mother of Vice, and she is a new spin on gluttony. Not overeating, but just too much. Too much food, too much wine, too much sex (no, thats NOT lust, i'll get to him soon), and particularly for her, too much partying. She is kinda like a demon-belly-dancer, where the more she dances the more powerful she becomes, and if she gets you to dance, you're in trouble. Her minions are the Bacchae, and yes i stole that from mythology, and they turn mortals into Bacchae by drawing them into their neverending dance. This is one that im not sure i want to color; i dont want to ruin it.

Atalia, the Vengeful Whisper



Atalia, the Vengeful Whisper, the Expressive Soul of Chevroth, the Mother of Vice. I kinda had a few ideas with her. First off, you cant see it, but there will be blood on her in various locations. Her hair is going to be a series of metal blades, the majority of her clothing is her dual set of wings. I kinda had a witchblade meets Anyanka thing going down with her. Google those if you have no idea what Im talking about. She's kindofa demon who gets summoned to creation for the soul purpose of wreaking vengeance. She has a limited wish granting capacity, and also some possessive ability. Plus she likes hacking things to bits :)

First pic: Envy (going to be renamed once i think of something)

ok, i know this is on graph paper, but i wanted to get it uploaded before i start photoshopping it. Cuz i love this just the way it is

This is (Her name will be here when i think about it), (same here for her title). She is the expressive soul of Chevroth, the Mother of Vice. I designed her to be rather avian, and had the idea of her being hell-bent on escaping her prison, escaping Chevroth (her mother and master) and just longing for everything that she doesnt have. still a lot of conceptual work needed for the character, but i love her look :)
