[The Gods of Hetaveyond] 10 Facts About Aluros 🐱
A.K.A. God of Colors, The Origin (of Life), The First Shapeshifter, etc.
(Previous: Photia | Next: TBA)
For Earth Day, we introduce the most down-to-earth god in Hetaveyond— Aluros! (pronounced “AY-loo-rose”)
1. Aluros is the only male deity amongst the Three Primordial Gods.
2. Those who receive Aluros’ blessing develop markings on their bodies, which carry over to their other forms. No two shapeshifters possess the same marks.
3. In his main form, Aluros’ hair, eyes, and animal features change color depending on his mood.
4. Aluros’ iconic necklace contains an extremely rare, color-changing gemstone. Only Lucas Reynard, his champion, is known to possess another piece.
5. Despite their differing ideologies, especially regarding mortals, Aluros is close friends with Diadema and her children, as they have been for thousands of years.
6. Aluros’ emotions are known to affect the skies; when he is really happy, the sky turns into a beautiful shade of purple. 💜
7. Aluros and his four familiars, the Princesses of Color, founded five nations in the continent of Kromatista in the early 1600s. Their reign there was short-lived, however, as the mortals grew to believe their nations can operate without their founders.
8. Many believe that Aluros vanished around 300 years ago, as he had not been worshipped since. However, recent studies have pointed out that certain figures in history never really existed— they were only disguises worn by the God of Colors!
9. Unearthed remains of Aluros’ first tribe, Zucoria, reveals a mural of what modern scholars believe to be the true form of the God of Colors— a giant red cat.
10. Aluros is based on the amazing @tolyys! That’s why he’s such a ball of sunshine 💕

-Voices-
A collection of portraits depicting the voices from Slay the Princess, taking inspiration from the style of the video game Disco Elysium!
The Voice of the Hero, a knight, an iconic silhouette against a luminant halo. A color palette of black, blue, and teal.
The Voice of the Hunted, a beast trying to protect its heart from danger, represented here as a crosshair.
The Voice of the Smitten, the knife wound letting loose lovely streams of swirling bodily juices into the air.
The Voice of the Cold, dark, and angular. Something completely unafraid to kill.
The Voice of the Skeptic, attempting to fly, tearing himself away from chains and what looks like his own body.
The Voice of the Paranoid, Frantic and multi-eyed, clutching at a wound.
The Voice of the Contrarian, flying in stark contrast to the others, glowing instead of secluded, a mischievous fairy or will o' the wisp, instead of a grotesque figure.
The Voice of the Broken, shattered and leaking. A humanoid figure is no longer recognizable.
The Voice of the Stubborn, Fiery eyes, and big meaty claws. The brushwork is chaotic.
The Voice of the Cheated, smoke leaking from puncture wounds still embedded within him. He's holding a cigar, too; probably where all the smoke is coming from.
The Voice of the Opportunist, carrying multiple masks on his person, and wielding a poorly concealed knife.
And finally (for now) The Long Quiet itself, the night sky, swirling sigils blurred in the dark.
