Braaqs Ref {Eldritch}

Holy balls, I actually had to compress the file!

I know that I've called Brackets Eldritch enough already, but how about a proper Eldritch god persona? Meet Wxasshcth-Braaqs, Smith of the [Outer] Gods. Name: Wxasshcth-Braaqs (Oo-chah-sh-k'th-braaks/Oo-chah-sh-k'th-braaks. <u:.tʃaʃ.kʔθ.bɹa:ks> Gender: Female Occupation: Smith of the Gods. Used to create weapons for the various gods before they began meddling chaotically in the affairs of mortal races (Mi-Go, humans, Yith, etc.) by destroying them, forcing cults of worship, or driving them insane. She made weapons by taking an alloy/material from a planet and smithing them within a star, utilizing her acid bile to "purify" them and imbuing them with magical power. Current Goal: Retrieving her weapons before the hostile/insane/omnicidal Great Old Ones/Outer Gods get their hands on them. Currently looking for the Lleaag-Tahha (Earth Blade) that she originally made for Rhan-Tegoth. She will eliminate cults and hoard artifacts when she comes across them. Affiliation: - Elder Gods (tenuous as a whole, at-odds with Kthanid, closest to Nodens) - Hziulquoigmnzhah (ally) - mortal beings (apathetic, though will call in their aid if need be: tries to keep up a friendly reputation. Finds them curious. May hire them similar to mercenaries if need be) Planet/Star of Birth: unknown, though possibly thought to be either the star Ogntlach or the twin stars Baalblo and Yifne. Parent(s): Unknown Sibling(s): Unknown, though has been lumped in with Dagon, Atlach-Nacha, and Rhan-Tegoth before. Current Planet/Star of Residence: Mars (Raahrq-Mzoch), though tends to go between Mars and Lleaag (Earth) Physical Characteristics: - Black exoskeleton - barrel-like body - transparent belly with glowing gold-yellow acid - bisected face with many beady, glowing gold-yellow eyes - limbs similar to human arms but made of black exoskeleton - carapaced spineal ridge-like ridges on belly and base of back - large manta ray fins/wings connected to back, blubbery and a blue-green with yellow-green speckles and patterns. Can be used to fly and swim. - Yellow-green segments can glow gold-yellow, similar to her eyes and acid. - tentacles that connect to her body and wings/fins. - Moth/butterfly-like proboscis - Massive size Abilities: - Flight (both eather and atmosphere) and swimming - Belching "purifying" acid (can be both a weapon) - Acid can imbue materials with magic powers (shapeshifting hilts, beams of energy, etc.) and improve them physically (strengthens metal, can improve technology both technologically and magically, etc.). - Strong enough to withstand the heat of various suns. - "Hammerspace" - Knowledge of metalworking and smithing. - Physical strength I hope you like it!

BRIAN SHIELDS 'BRAAQ'

The Lleaag-Tahha

Decided to draw the sword that I mentioned on Braaqs's ref! The Lleaag-Tahha (Earth Blade)! The reason that it is called the "Earth Blade" (translation) is because it is made from Earth materials: the blade is a smithed iron-ruby alloy, and the shapeshifting hilt (currently in tentacle/claw mode) is gold. I hope you like it!
