The One, the only, Dark Lord himself!
The first picrew is how he is around friends and when he doesn't have to do the whole "Dark Lord" act. His actual name is Heshiktow, but only Rukard knows it.
~backstory~
He was raised by a couple of spirit speaker healers - they knew stuff about magic, even had a magical artifact, which is incredibly rare. It was used to sustain Heshiktow's life, as he almost died at a young age. Took care of anyone they could, opened a monster &beast rehabilitation shelter... Little Ice age rolls around, things get difficult, people need a scapegoat. Something something torches, something something pitchforks, and Heshiktow winds up alone at the bright and ripe age of fourteen with a few monsters in tow.
He meets Rukard, they bond, try to save a kingdom, fail, and decide that they were just thinking too small and the best course of action is to take over the world (like sane people do).
Fear seemed to be a pretty casualty-free way of staying in control, do the Dark Lord legend is born.
Nicknames: Dark Lord ( everyone, more of an alias), Heshi ( Rukard, Mourisha)
Age: 21
Sexuality: bisexual
Note: half of this post self erased the first time I tried to post it. Wierd.
Mourisha
Mourisha is what Rukard calls him, because he doesn't remember his name. Mourisha means "smile".
His hair is gray, yet he doesn't look old, and his face and entire body is covered with scars upon scars, to the point where there is almost no visible skin.
He's most likely not human, but no one knows what he is: in the world of JYTFS, there are only humans, spirits, demons (seriously pissed off spirits), and gods, and he doesn't really fit any category.
He knows as much about himself as anyone else - he doesn't remember his name, where he's from, where he's going. He was surprised by his own appearance. He has a vague feeling of guilt, which leads him to believe that maybe it's best if he doesn't remember.
He carries a big book wherever he goes where he makes sketches and takes notes, and on the last page of said book is a detailed map of the world with a mark and a short note under it: "take here once filled".
He's usually cheerful and not-too-serious, a bit childish. Sees beauty in everything (to unsettling extends), tries to cheer up everyone around him, make them happy. Hates conflict of any kind.
His conduct is... unusual. When he spotted Rukard sulking alone in an abandoned castle in the middle of nowhere, he broke into said castle to cook cheer-up breakfast and refused to leave because Rukard obviously needed company.
Nicknames: Mourisha ( by Rukard, currently uses as a name), what even is that thing ( practically everyone but Rukard)
Age: ???
Sexuality: ???
Ethnicity: ???????
Rukard
Needed to make two picrew pictures for him - first one is his "default", how he likes to present himself. He tries to sustain this ethereal wild hunter, fae prince appearance, which led to him being commonly referred to as Prince of the Dark Woods.
Second one is depression-phase Rukard. Let himself go a bit and started wearing the clothing of a someone he really misses, which are far from his usual style.
Rukard is the Dark Lords right-hand man, best friend, and servant with a ten-year magical contract all in one.
He is a skilled fighter and leader, basically running most of the technical, logistics part of sustaining their undead and monster army, keeping the demons in subordination, all that. Has a backstory™ that I have to at least mention because it's one of my absolute favourites.
Nicknames: Prince of the Dark Woods (more of a title), vampire boy (by Murisha), Amila (will make sense later)
Age: 23
Sexuality: heterosexual
Ethnicity: need to make those! Need to make those! But the closest our-world equivalent is German
They're so sweet! I love Mourisha

She is so cool! And the angst is amazing
Introducing Ena
The first picrew is how she normally looks these days - messy hair, tired, in a sweatpants-and-a-hoodie combo (normally quite soiled). The second is her official look, for statues, paintings and such.
She's an apathetic misanthrope that just wants to be left alone and is generally tired of the world. Which wouldn't be a problem if she didn't own approximately one third of it.
~backstory~
She's a powerful goddess that became very popular because of her complete devotion to her believers - whatever was asked of her, she would do anything and everything to provide, whenever a believer was in trouble, she would personally come and help, never resting, being in a thousand places at once just to do her best for her people.
However, after countless fights and wars between her believers, where she couldn't possibly pick a side because she was supposed to protect both of them, and a civil war that practically destroyed the empire she worked so hard to create, she lost her faith in humanity and became a bitter recluse, ignoring all of her duties.
To pass the time of immortality, she sometimes messes with people, creating little stories to watch unfold. When she's asked to pick a Chosen One, she picks Mary mostly at random to watch her misadventures
Full title: the great protector of this world, the warrior of light, the all-powerful Ena
Age: ≈500
Sexuality: too tired to be interested in anything and anyone anymore.

This was so good! And a real delight to read. I can't wait to read more, and the animal hybrids would be so good to read
The thing is here!
Remember how I’ve been babbling about this chapter that I’m very excited about and want to post here once I finish it? I finished it, so here it is!
T/W: nothing serious, but there is a hunt scene where an animal is killed, and it’s briefly described. And repeated mentions of alcohol concumption.
Note: Again, not a native English speaker. If you think something sounds strange, please, tell me! This is the first draft, so there’s a chance some details might change, but the hardly anything serious. Also this is about 1,900 words - not very long, but you might want to find a comfortable place and maybe get some tea.
Chapter 3. Never cry Villain
Where a sad and lonely person becomes perpetually more sad.

This is so good! I love the chaos, and the sass, and the characters have so much life! You painted the scenes so well, I could see it happening
Chapter one, as promised
Note: you know the drill! Pointing out any unnatural wording/ wierd phrases would really help due to English being my second language.
T/W: I looked through it, but couldn’t find anything that could be a trigger. If you spot something that you think I should warn people about, let me know!
Chapter 1. Everything has to start somewhere
Where a divine being reluctantly kidnaps a teenager

She's so cool!! And she's a badass, just as I hoped. Would she bring cake to tea parties with Uncle Seb is the question
Other information:
Some worldbuilding explanation required:
In some cultures of the world of JYTFS, being an assassin or warrior is considered to be specifically a woman’s job, with some rare exceptions. It’s a take-and-return, keeping-the-balance thing, and it’s highly encouraged for female warriors/assassins to have children. Warriors are those of the higher rank, those that get more respect, while assassins, while not completely illegal, dwell on the borders of legality. You know, the type of folk to find an occasional angry mob at their door, or have some arrests for uncertain reasons, but aren’t illegal enough to be imprisoned or executed just for doing what they do.
backstory under read more because it got quite long
