The first Torrid store - Brea Mall - Brea, CA (Opened April 18, 2001)

From the book: “The retailer, Hot Topic, based in City of Industry, CA, started a short 12 years ago with a concept and a target market; cutting edge apparel, accessories and novelty items--all inspired by alternative music, oriented towards a hip and trendy, teenage market. Hot Topic changed the look of their retail settings, which are usually located in mainstream malls, and the company has recently taken aim at another special market. The new focus is on plus-size teens; an area that the fashion market seems to have neglected.

Up until this time the 15-30 year old hip and trendy young women who wear sizes 14-26 had no other choice but to shop in the larger size women's shops where the fashions were tailored to the more matronly and conservative tastes. That is how Torrid was born!

Torrid was introduced in a new, hot and fun retail setting designed by JGA, Inc. of Southfield, MI which has designed the various prototypes for the Hot Topic stores as well. To be sure of the need for such a niche to be filled, the company opened five Torrid shops almost simultaneously; the first in Brea, CA, followed by stores in malls in Mission Viejo, CA, Annapolis, MD, Omaha, NE, N. Attleboro, MA, and Littleton, CO. The merchandise offerings are clustered as "Streetwear," "Clubwear," Rockabilly Wear," and Renaissance Wear" and the stores average about 2,750 SF. Besides the "everyday" slacks and novelty T-shirts, these larger size young women can find black vinyl pants and mini-skirts, black corsets, dog-collar chokers and platform shoes as well as retro-inspired clothing and accessories. In addition to the gothic and prom dresses, Torrid also carries a full line of lingerie for this particular market. Listening to the target market, Hot Topic's Torrid offers teenagers and up the opportunity to look "girly yet fierce."

The design objective for the prototype store that was designed by JGA, Inc. was to create "a celebration of abundance" and make the setting as unique, unconventional and spirited as the plus-size young women who will be shopping here. Inspired by a "mythological, after-hours club in New Orleans," the atmosphere is romantic, dark and filled with a sense of "unbridled passion." "From the signature flaming heart icon to the curving voluptuous lines throughout the store, excessive materials and scale mirror the zest of the Torrid woman." It starts out front with the shopper-stopping facade which serves as a dramatic gateway to the store.

The curvaceous and sensuous "hourglass" figures of the Torrid customer is expressed in the hand-crafted metalwork and the backlit translucent glass glowing red. A "drippy" red chandelier and the hand blown flaming heart torcheres add to the store's distinctive sense of place and being. The mosaic porcelain tile floor sets the color palette of jewel tones and metallics. "Visually complex, layers of finishes and architectural pieces evoke a one-of-a-kind artistic flavor." The eclectic mix of fixtures, furniture and furnishings-even the armoires--add to the New Orleans flavor. The hand painted, whimsical and overscaled armoires or cabinets are used to anchor the various zones within the store and at the center of the space a large bronze metallic drape further divides the departments.

The designers added special touches to each area to create that unique, one-of-a-kind feeling to the design. Specially designed, oversized red sculptured chairs with slatted backs are featured in the shoe area. Shoes and accessories are displayed on the slatted backs. The lingerie area takes on a more intimate and exotic--almost Moroccan--feeling with the hand blown glass chandeliers suspended down from large plaster domes. Seen behind this area--beyond a hand painted wall and arc--are the individual, oversized dressing rooms which are equipped with flattering uplights and decorative chandeliers that are visible from other parts of the store. The cash wrap becomes a "focal fantasy" in the total design and it resembles a giant canopy bed topped with twisting shapes and forms.

The space is filled with a pulsating excitement that is so appropriate for the merchandise and the young clientele. In addition to the shimmering palette of rich, deep colors, the warm colored downlights not only enrich the ambient colors and textures but they enhance the merchandise display. The traditional long and narrow mall space is broken up into more personal and individual zones by the variations in ceiling heights, the tin ceilings, finials and the assorted wall coverings. The use of brocades, metallics, and jewel tones on the walls also help to differentiate areas in the store. The metal fixture system--tortoise shell like in appearance--was customized to accommodate the products unique size and length requirements.

If all goes as well as anticipated we can expect to see more and more Torrid shops opening up across the USA- maybe even as many as 700 outlets!”

durgetash fic recs 🔪⚙️

i love durgetash. i love evil/evil power couples. i love the drama and the religious guilt and the self-recognition through the other (derogatory) and the insane definitely-not-safe-sane-and-consensual kink.

for this reason, i have read several hundred durgetash fics on ao3. here is a non-exhaustive list of my favorites!

all of the recs will be marked with pronouns, race, and genitals (when relevant) of the durge for your convenience

An Obedient Butcher, A Beast On A Leash by NeverwinterThistle

durge notes: og/white dragonborn dark urge (my favorite!!), he/him with dick

E / 4.8k / sadism and masochism, choking, frottage and grinding / complete

The room was warm. It smelt strongly of skin; overheated, overcrowded, overscented to hide sweat. Fill for this prompt on the Baldur's Gate kink meme: Gortash and the Durge are lovers, but due to the strict orders of tyranny in all things that Bane requires, Gortash is not allowed to bottom, on pain of retribution or revocation of Chosen status from his god. And, well, maybe Gortash really wants to. What might their sex look like with such a restriction? How do they deal?

this author has done multiple incredibly good durgetash fics but this is definitely one of my favorites. the dynamic and push-and-pull between them is excellent, and you can tell they truly do respect each other in a sense, despite being godawful people. they glory in their empire of blood and that's so much fun. and of course, the kink in this one is delicious... yknow, every time i do fic recs i have the impulse to share things no one needs to know about my personal life for at least a couple of them, but you know what, maybe i can keep it to myself just this once. but the point is the way gortash wants to let durge tear his ass up but can't is incredibly hot, and i particularly like that gortash essentially considers it an outdated religious restriction... that bottoming is not actually indicative of True Submission in the way Banites are told to believe it does.

lose the halo, don't need to resist by @lamortactuallywrites

durge notes: they/them half-orc with dick :)

E / 7.0k words / bondage, orgasm delay/edging, kink negotiation / complete

There is no absolution to be found here. They wonder if their father is watching, if Bane is watching, if they will each know the wrath of their gods before the night is through. Yet somehow, with blood drying tacky on their hand, bruises pressed deep into their flesh, and his mouth hot around them like he was made for this, it feels private. Protected.

i adore the kink negotiation in this. gortash is such a jackass (affectionate)... and once they're in it, durge snapping back like an angry dog, struggling so beautifully, when they're too tied up to really fight back is hot. someone insulting you so desperately because in reality they know they're not the one in control is. extremely hot. like "come on tell me more about what a monster i am while you're tied up begging for me to touch you" ygm??? read the fic it's good.

Mutual Manipulations by fermiparadox

durge notes: he/him drow with dick

E / 3.1k words / hate sex, power dynamics, handjobs / complete

Bloodlust is its own kind of aphrodisiac.

i love the characterization of both Durge and Gortash in this one-- resplendently awful. and considerably less trusting of each other, in a way that's very enjoyable. this is absolutely hate sex, and done very well... Gortash wants to subjugate Durge and keep him on a leash, and Durge wants to murder him violently. beautiful!

Marsember Syrah by say_lene

durge notes: she/her with pussy

E / 5.7k words / dom/sub, [consensual] mind control, power dynamics / complete

After a successful operation in the High House of Wonders, Bhaal's Chosen and Bane's express their admiration for each other. It is, predictably, very tense. “Ah, so you’re concerned for my wellbeing,” he said – calm, even as a thin trickle of blood rolled down his neck. “You needn’t be. Our masters commanded us to cooperate, after all, and in suffering me to live, Bhaal opens the door to veritable rivers of blood. You know him better than I, of course, but surely even the Lord of Murder can see the value of delayed gratification.”

this author has done multiple incredibly good durgetash fics, but this one is my favorite. i love the way they characterize gortash. anyway, normally, being the mind control/brainwashing/hypnosis/etc fetishist i am, i would barely have anything to say about this other than "read this for the mind control descriptions they're so hot that i've read this fic at least four times." (which i have). however not only is that hot but everything else is *also* extremely hot, and well written/well paced. particularly the way gortash "offers" durge lesser banites to kill, and how she enjoys it so, despite not quite wanting to just let him hand-feed her like that yknow... very tasty.

Yank of the Leash by BlueCloverInGreen

durge notes: he/him with dick

E / 28.2k words / dom/sub, grooming, noncon and dubcon / complete

Many, many potential triggers. Please read the tags carefully. I will also post specific tags before each chapter. This is a work in progress and my first project. Critique is welcomed and appreciated. Not beta read.

definitely do mind the trigger tags on this one, as the summary mentions, but it's a great guilty pleasure-- and by guilty i mean you'll feel something for finding it hot considering how dark it is, especially with regards to the grooming aspect. i can read some very gory fics, noncon, heavy kink, etc and not question how into it i am, but this fic?? this fic made me feel guilty and uncomfortable and that's a compliment. it definitely gave me the sense "yeah, Gortash would want it like this"

Knowing by @chocolatecatcupcakecheese

durge notes: they/them

E / 3.4k words / power dynamics, cunnilingus, bondage / complete

“What were we to one another?” Tav asks at last. “We were allies before,” Gortash says. “We—” “Allies?” Tav interrupts, sing-song with insinuation. Gortash takes a slow, steadying breath against the echo of desire. That teasing tone of voice is so damnably familiar. “Yes.” His voice emerges lower than he intends. Tav laughs, a single exhaled note of contempt. Gortash steels himself and does not move away when they step closer, close enough to share the same breath. “Is that all?”

oh hey, gortash is trans in this!! that's definitely a favorite headcanon of mine. and it's totally for story-based reasons only (he's so transhumanist cmon) and not because i am also transmasc and also have several power-hungry techbro sellout things wrong with me. anyway, the way they talk to each other in this is *so* fun... their dynamic-- and their foreplay and dirty talk (which for a normal couple would perhaps not qualify as dirty talk) is great.

ménage à quatre by isolasea

durge notes: second person (you) with pussy

E / 2.9k words / power dynamics, BDSM, dubious consent / complete

Your Urge and his Hand, on each side of your mind and body, pulling you apart. Or, Gortash: [fucks like a tyrannical despot] Durge: [surprised pikachu meme face]

this fic is so much fun for the d/s power kink stuff and it also has some excellent lines wrt gortash's obsession with control. i mean right at the beginning even, “All murder and no play in the Church of Bhaal?” that and gortash trying to put another finger in durge even while he's fucking them and they're barely taking it as it is-- it's so greedy and so very fitting for him.

The 2nd Post

Hi, Its been 2 years since my last real post. So I've decided to compile a bunch of the work I've done, Finished or Not and post it here.

VIP_Miami (Unfinished, Scrapped)

VIP_Miami was a map made for Team Fortress 2 Classic inspired by Gorge set between 2 hotels. This map was a test to see how urban, art decor could possibly look in the Team Fortress Style. This map ended up being cut due to being overscaled and messy. Playtesters did comment they liked the gazebo first point so I might return to that idea again sometime.

Koth_Crossover (Released)

A collaboration between me and the talented Gamingcam. We both set out to create Pre-Fortress 2's flagship map for the 0.7 update. Gamingcam handled the layout and initial art passes, while I mostly cleaned it up and overhauled the color palette to make the map more friendly and inviting.

Koth_Crossover Beta Variant (Unreleased)

For a good while Crossover featured moss on the top of its rocks. Despite being mostly positvitely recieved, I came to the conclusion that It didn't make much sense for what I was going for. So It was removed.

Dom_Canalzone (Unfinised)

Canalzone was a port of the Team Fortress Classic map of the same name. The difference being it was now Domination instead of Territoral Control like in TFC. This map was ported to test if 5 Control Point Domination could work. It somewhat worked but 3 Control Point maps were the superior way to go. I was planning to make a map inspired by Canalzone taking what I learned from this port but it never came to fruition.

Invade_Push (Unfinished)

A port of Push from Team Fortress Classic, Main goal was to create a port of Push that felt more open and not confined. I think this was achieved in my opinion. I'm happy with how this was turning out and I may return some day to finish it.

DM_Icebox (Unfinished, Scrapped)

Icebox is a Deathmatch map made for Open Fortress. Inspired by IceWorld, Shipment, and Rust. The map is a fast paced kill-box. It was postively recieved however due to losing the source files I do not have the motivation to continue working on it.

DM_Aqua (Unfinished, Scrapped)

Another map for Open Fortress, This map was never really playtested. Scrapped due to not being fond of how I laid out a lot of the layout ideas. I might return to these concepts in the future although.

DM_Fotia Artpass Concept (Scrapped)

A while back I started a remake of DM_Fotia for Open Fortress. The map is still currently in development but this was a Art Test of what the map could've looked like. This was most likely the finalized idea till I lost the source files for the artpass. I will most likely explore different themes to see what I like the best.

Theres a lot more I wanna post that I can't include in this post so stay tuned for more stuff I guess.

Been out of the loop. How BAD did 9th ed actually get?

The stratagem and CP bloat is proper fucked, to the point that memorising even half of it is impossible. Damage is so overscaled that anything 120+ points incapable of one-turning a unit worth 180+ points is considered mid. Everything is 2+4++, or can ignore 2+4++ entirely. Melee is a cute idea. Toughness and Strength values are meaningless unless they're obscene. It just... it's so bloated, and so dated.

It needs AoS's weapon profile system. Toughness and Strength need to be gone. It needs no more than maybe 6 stratagems per faction at a baseline.

@ bookbinders: it won't be cheap, but if you're looking for an extra-special kind of paper for your books, Bradbury & Bradbury produces professional-quality reproductions of historical wallpapers in a wide variety of pictorial, motif, and geometric patterns from the 18th to early-20th centuries, including Neoclassical, Arts & Crafts movement, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Anglo-Japanese, Persian, and more. Each movement has a wide variety of individual patterns to account for ensemble decorating of rooms in historical styles (borders, friezes, fills, etc.). A lot of the patterns might be overscaled for bookbinding but you can always use the patterns as assets and resize them digitally.

What is the worst thing you have put your OC through story-wise? for Niles and/or Nils

What's something about your OC that people wouldn't expect just from looking at them? for Obie

ok so my secret is they DO NOT HAVE A STORY (yet). they are Not going to have the same issues as my other codependent duo* either.

i can't think of anything serious right now so for nile: one time they & nils were at a con. nile's luggage got lost on the flight. sucks obviously but hey they are at the con now it's all good and they still have their wallet. WELL at a rave on the opening night their current and only pair of clothing gets destroyed. rather enthusiastically. and sexually. in the bathroom. by a hot elf. whoops. well it was worth it in the moment but now they have to tie the shredded remnants of their shirt around their waist and beeline for the hotel room where they stay until nils gets back.

nils ofc overpacks and is glad to offer nile a fit but he is over 2ft shorter than nile so they are comically overscaled for the rest of the weekend in what looks like baby goth clothing. people keep asking if nile is supposed to Be someone. fucking who. "orc-bursting-out-of-XXS-corset"?? don't be ridiculous. it's humiliating.**

*gull & river, a lot of their stuff is abt like, learning how to live independently when they have grown up in an insulated religious environment that basically defines them by the other

**"can't they just go buy more clothes somewhere" excuse you nile is on a VERY STRICT budget for this con, 85% of which is going to figures. as for the rest. well they have to eat don't they!!!

obie- dresses kind of frumpy, grandpacore, is a little skittish and awkward. all fairly obvious by talking to them for two seconds. yes despite the fact they are 7 feet tall (short for a dragon) (even shorter w their neck hunched). however that last name Oathbreaker is kind of a big deal in the dragon families, they've been disowned and most if not all dragons they meet in the future will avoid/blacklist them. there's no benefits to this surname so there's no reason to fake it. but what could they have done that was so unforgivable 🧐

Whether you're aiming to Bash the Fash or just fancy a spot of property damage, you can't go wrong with the good old proper wooden cylinder. This scratch-built Baseball Bat comes with a leather-strapped handle for extra grip, along with an optional emblem and an alternate trans rights colour set, and is available for all the tank classes. Dark Knights even get two extra size options for that Comically Overscaled Brooding potential - not even the Bat Man could wield this much bat. Replaces the Whisker of the Brave Cat, Paw of the Crimson Cat, Fang of the Fearless Cat, and Gunblade of the Yo-Kai King.

Anyway it’s done and out. Had planned to pack it up proper yesterday, but ended up spending those hours playing 20 Minutes Till Dawn instead haha.

also @wren-xiv:

tbh, people are generally welcome to take any of my stuff to modify or reuse as they please - I mean, if it weren’t for all the people who’ve made the multiple tools and guides and examples making their stuff available for use, I wouldn’t be able to do the stuff I do. So if anything I’ve made can serve as a useful resource for someone else going forward then imo that’s great!

The main reason I don’t always release things I’ve made for my own personal use to the public, or sometimes take a really long time to do so, is generally either because I don’t think it’s good enough, or I just don’t think it’d be of much interest to anyone else ;)

Kerillian, Vermintide 2. (Handmaiden)

1. Warhammer Fandom is welcome with open arms... but be chill. I don’t tolerate toxicity here and the fandom at least in 40k has a metric ton of annoying neckbeards. It’s a parody that’s so dark that you’re not supposed to take it seriously, you’re supposed to be as over the top and edgy as possible for at least 40k. That or be something like the Orks.

2. Warhammer is dark and then 40k is extremely dark to the point it’s a literal intended parody. And I will not rp the deep lore of Slannesh or any aspect of chaos other than maybe live consumption from Kerillian’s corruption verse. Blacklist the tags ‘elven handmaiden’ ‘shape feaster’ ‘40kay’ (I don’t want this in the main tags of 40k tumblr lmao).

3. This has two characters in one with separate verses and pathways. I thought it’d be neat since the game also gives different pathways for the professions.

4. I have a different voice for my Kerillian for a more elegant elven fighter and for the 40k verse/corruption verse for both. As the distortion combined with a scottish accent and slang.... does not sound pleasant as I experimented with it.

5. Her voice reference is Pisha from Vampire, the Masquerade game. Or better known as Motoko Kusanagi or the ‘Major’ from the anime Ghost in the Shell. Granted Pisha is slightly different. She will still have the same sassy dialogue and some manner of speaking. But expect more of hrm, a honed feral elegance. I have no problems with the VA but I don’t recall other wood elves being scottish, it just is a bit odd for me is all? Along with the distortion I tested making it sound even stranger. I think it’s fine for the ingame and I like her personality however, just what I intend isn’t suited for it.

6. Kerillian’s eyes are pure black and that of a void, this is not normal and a blessing and curse from the goddess Lileath. She has these eyes regardless verse depending on her form, as she does get canonic visions I will say is from the future on events and such. It’s fine to insult her about them or to antagonize/accuse her of such. The only reason Saltpyre doesn’t probably is because they’re friends but also most people haven’t seen an elf at least in Warhammer.

7. If wanting a certain verse? Be sure to read EVERYTHING regarding that verse listed below as added notes. As I had to tack on a lot of things for this bios.

8. Kerillians default verse is her ‘elven handmaiden’ tag that’s a fantasy verse. For it to be sci-fi for its canon AU is 40kay added onto it or the other tag that’s ‘shape feaster’.

9. I know 40k lore better than Warhammer lore but I don’t need to know much to rp this exiled character and I can just read stuff up/plot it out if someone wants to pursue something specific.

10. Warhammer I will try to be flexible on, but it tries to be semi-more realistic in terms of power-scaling/what’s physically possible before you die. Kerillian’s powerset reflects as such, but ultimately she could be throttled by an overscaled anime character for example. Though I can adjust as her power-scaling is hero level to near but not quite demi-god for her verse.

11. I am aware that Eldar cannot become Daemon Princes, but I will be taking liberties and that Kerillian’s weakness to Slannesh. And the Chaos Gods ever evolving and changing? That it becomes a new, concerning and terrifying evolution for Slannesh to offer a new way to save themselves. But also become immortal and apart of Slannesh as a corrupted soulstone adorned to the Chaos God’s body that’s offered through a ritual. Kerillian becoming the first of many... as the Dark Eldar and a few Eldar join the ranks of Slannesh for self-preservation.

Character Reference (Uncorrupted): It is the handmaiden class, then her new voiceclaim is Pisha from Vampire, the Masquerade.

Do I want them to die: Kerillian can die, this is Warhammer or potentially 40k, no one is safe but Major Gods or the Emperor on the Throne. We can just make a new rp but keep in mind she isn’t a pushover. I do want to plot her death if it’s to happen. Will I have/get icons: Yes I do, for corruption verse and noncorrupted. Tag: elven handmaiden (Default Fantasy Verse) | shape feaster (Corruption Verse) | 40kay (Sci-Fi Grim Dark Parody Verse) Age: Several Thousand Years Old most likely, doesn’t age however. For her Corruption Verse? She’s hrm, I will say it’s so far into the future she’s eons old and considered a seasoned Demon Princess/Prince. Sex: AMAB Gender: She would be considered trans female in human society, but is merely considered a woman in her own. Is fine with she/him and multiple terms. Race: Wood Elf (Uncorrupted) Wood Elf Daemon Princess/Prince (Corrupted) Sexuality: Pansexual. Personality traits: Sassy, sarcastic. Prideful, hates humans. Hates dwarves. Hates what she considers to be not elegant. Granted, she can still befriend all that was mentioned. Caring subtly. Loyal. Can fear death at times. Likes the thrill of the hunt. A bit cold. Elegant though a touch feral. Joking. Arrogant. Observant. Intelligent. Wise, though it’s left her jaded. Can be loving once she gets close, though is more physical than with words, but her words are pretty strongly-said when she does say them. Poetic. Artistic. Playful. Selfish. Extreme Willpower. | Corruption Verse: Lustful, Degenerate. Sadistic. Masochistic. Hungry. Indulgent. Murderous. Mental traits: Elven Perception. Her willpower extends to her mental state, this allows her to keep her free will and sentience even when corrupted. As she’s corrupted yes, but ultimately chooses still as she did prior along with having her personality. Akin to Magnus the Red but ultimately a different person rather than warped entirely. Physical traits: as all elves in warhammer, she is around 6′3 and has black void eyes, this is notably not normal. Other than that? She just has white hair and long ears. | Corruption Verse: she is around 30 feet long and much thicker with six-arms as a Daemon Naga that is faceless, then a seamless line on her mouth that opens up to reveal her two maws of teeth and a circular hooked, long tongue. She then has the faces of all her victims revealed on the purple parts of her scales that she’s consumed for their shapes that’s ever shifting, moving and moaning in pain, pleasure and torment. She can assume her original form if she so desires, but usually only to infiltrate and corrupt. Her white hair is replaced with white snakes and she has a wingspan that can extend, grow and change in size. Her faceless visage can contort and change to that of a draconic snake-head when eating, she usually just chooses the faceless visage and perhaps wears a face when she senses the other’s desires/what’s appealing to them the most. See below for her corruption verse visual reference. Powers: Note: Presume in the 40k Verse that any powers that involve magic or otherwise involve Psionics or Psyker Energy. I will simply be incorporating her class’s talents as it doesn’t really make sense that someone part of just four people can take on literal armies of Skaven and or Chaos Soldiers.

Kerillian Hand Maiden Powers and Training (Default Warhammer Verse): (Power Scaling Hero to bordering Demi-God but not quite as Warhammer and 40k Warhammer is more realistic in possible feats but I will be using all her talents and class abilities. Think like an Elite Hero Soldier capable of holding the line if put with other Elite Soldiers or given a small squadron)

Phase Dash: Kerillian can phase dash through enemies instantly in a rather long distance but it’s a straight line. This ability leaves her the choice of inflicting massive bleeding onto her enemies and leaving her allies untouched. Then feeding off of the pain? She can process the power into an empowered strikes that she usually utilizes to take down on armored/dangerous targets but dissipates shortly after about 15 seconds. And while she goes invisible for this time? It is not true invisibility, it merely makes her invisible to outside perception for around two seconds. She may strike during this, but it takes her out her phase dash along with blocking much earlier than normal, it can be useful situationally however. She can use this ability every twenty seconds or so.

Wraith Walk: Kerillian can temporarily go incorporeal for a second in well-timed reflexes to avoid attacks entirely, but she cannot spam this. Using this makes her acrobatics slightly faster and her reflexes as well, it can become more fervent but has limits. Her ability to dodge is also supernatural in terms of the distance she can do a still jump to the side or otherwise, along with acrobatics and balance.

Handmaiden Physical Enhancement: she is much heartier than the normal individual and can block rather easily. Her strength also allows her to carry more ammunition compared to the average person, along with being supernaturally strong. (Have you ever actually carried arrows? They’re pretty heavy). Her self-enhancements also improve when stimulated or provoked into operating under strain, such as increasing in reflexes or swiftness of her strikes, along with being able to heal off the deaths of her enemies. She is capable of fully blocking a Troll’s strike or Chaos Spawn’s strikes though she still experiences being knocked around, this is usually used in a pinch or to save an ally.

Handmaiden Healing: using her innate magical enhancements? Kerillian can also share some of her healing when healing or being healed with nearby allies. And using her innate healing factor, she can seal the wounds of her allies more when stabilizing them back to their feet. Even healing them a bit though only a little.

Relentless Fervor Aura: Kerillian bestows an aura that rapidly replenishes the energy of her allies to keep them able to keep fighting, unable to grow tired. This radius is about two-hundred feet or so.

Elite Elven Warrior Training: she is a Grand Master in martial combat, along with training, fighting style being that of a strong, deadly, but elegant elven warrior.

Elven Senses: Kerillian has exceptional elven senses such as being able to see in great detail from even one hundred paces or her reflexes and acrobatics are abnormal. It is surmised that Kerillian's eyes are pure black due to a curse, so it is fine to take note of it and even remark about it. The curse itself goes to the soul and it's a permanent one. I have it as a blessing curse more than anything by her Goddess Lileath who blesses her with visions among other things, along potential outcomes of the future... and one of them being with Slannesh and another with Lileath. Perhaps it is inevitable, yet perhaps there's a deeper need for it to which she does not understand and only Lileath does. I will be keeping this vague until or if ever info about her eyes is ever revealed, though I will tie it into the corruption verse for the sake of it.

Combat Equipment: Elven Mithril Armor crafted in honor of the Moon Goddess Lileath, along with her insignia on her Mithril Tower Shield and Mithril Spear. She uses a Longbow. Usually has a haste potion, healing drought and... usually refuses anything like a bomb or considered inelegant but she may take one if she thinks she needs it.

40k Differences to note (I wasn’t sure what to make her to be honest, but this was the closest thing to her moveset in terms of wargear): Kerillian is an Eldar Autarch in her 40k verse and is much more brutal and merciless compared to her Warhammer version, though is still considered merciful by 40k standards. She uses a Forceshield mounted on her wrist, then a Star Glaive. For her ranged weapon? She uses a Reaper Launcher. Then for armor: heavy aspect armor and swooping hawk wings to dodge, fly and the ability to take great hits. I realize this makes her significantly stronger in this verse? But I think overall there’s nothing that translates well to Kerillian other than this.

In 40k, she still uses some of her wargear. It’s just corrupted.

For her canon 40k verse since she’s getting attention for it? I will be open to using her with Sci-Fi or more niche, odd Fantasy characters in general in a more neutral universe of the Eldar scattering from their own arrogance and perfection at being perfect beings, causing their own fatal flaw with infighting over control. So while her power scaling is compared to that of a Primarch as a strong exiled Eldar Autarch: things like Cyberpunk, Star Wars, Star Trek, Final Space, Rick and Morty are all fine to use with my Eldar AU as she can serve as a companion, leader or otherwise that can drive a lot of plots forward since she’s a lot stronger in that verse utility wise and in terms of tech and powers that’ll lean toward being a mysterious bounty hunter. (40k is a parody that goes over neckbeard’s heads to begin with so I’m not going to take it TOO seriously) She is one foot taller since she’s supposed to be tall for her race to begin with and the taller Eldar tend to be the same height as Space Marines. Below is the chosen armor for her as a faceclaim for that verse:

Corruption Verse for Warhammer and 40k Powers and Differences: I will be making her a six-armed Naga Daemon Princess or Prince (for the 40k verse since that’s gender specific but will still stay her gender and pronouns/physical sex etc). This is based off ‘Dechala’ if instead she was a favored champion of her Dark God. Slannesh has been proven to be her most ‘hated’ god when uncorrupted and I have it that they are the most tempting for her in the Warhammer verse and also 40k is rather obvious due to that. 40k will be somewhat different as she’ll be different from most daemons due to her being built for Warhammer Fantasy Corruption rather than 40k.

Very graphic content below for horrific powers info involving live consumption: Her powers remain relatively the same but are enhanced beyond belief to that of a demigod-minor god to match the other champions and daemons who can take on entire armies/small armies by themselves with little issue unless compromised of counter-measures. Her dash is like that of lightning strikes, her strikes deadly and brutal and made to inflict pain to its utmost extent along with pleasure. It is relatively the same powerset, but just empowered to that of a god power-set, then the added few powers below.

Her function and title: She is ‘Kerillian, the Shapesfeaster’. As she steals the shapes of other people by consuming them as a skilled, lightning fast duelist and incapacitates them to be either killed and eaten or eaten outright while alive. They are then absorbed after being brutally digested alive or merely absorbed if killed, though when alive are also are bit into by the many masks that form within her body and under her scales that moan, scream in a cacophony in pained pleasure that deafens her victims yet the vibrations of the sounds so intense that their vibrations torture the victim before they finally die, only to join along with them in that eternal, but wonderfully tormented existence. These faces disappear temporarily and have a new one take its place before being placed back by a different mask from her endless victims, as she is a funnel directly to her dark god in consuming them for their endless hunger and lust for souls.

Shapeshifting: she can flawlessly take the shape, memories and scent and even soul signature of the victims she consumes. She uses their shapes to infiltrate and plant the seeds of Slannesh in their corruption and absolute pleasures.

Infesting Corruption of Pleasures: Kerillian can corrupt other beings through sexual contact, physical contact and often plants these seeds as an Agent planted within communities to disrupt it from within. Mostly in order to bring in the endless dance, thirst and lust her Dark God demands and to bring more followers into the fold to empower them.

Call of Pleasure: all of Kerillian’s masks in her body and underneath her scales all call out at once in a deafening call to action, along with Kerillian herself in a beckoning, distorted draconic roar. Commanding all her sleeper agents she’s corrupted to her cause to act and begin the worshipping frenzy of their Dark God in a carnal rampage of lust. This causes uncorrupted weak-willed victims within a mile to become dazed and revealed to her followers as objects of Slannesh’s designs or are outright corrupted in some cases. They are dazed and stunned for around ten minutes to thirty minutes, then dazed otherwise if strong-willed. Those who survived are often deafened or even blinded depending on how close they are to Kerillian, her followers and allies meanwhile are unaffected.

Immortality: Kerillian like all daemons even if killed, may reform at another time or more quickly if ushered in back to do their master’s work.

Sexual and Sacrificial Rituals: Kerillian lacks magic other than her extreme inane enhancements bestowed upon her to be a predator to feast on Slannesh’s enemies and corrupt the ever-endless vermin of mortals as she parades herself as one of them. She can do ritual magic if need be for a specific cause as a Daemon Prince. Though it is to note that to not confuse this with her innate ability to go back to The Realm of Chaos.

Flight: Similar to Morathi, Kerillian can also fly with wings on her in a similar fashion when she extends them out, then coupled by her own levitation enhancements.

Size and Power Difference: she is 30 feet long and much thicker and bigger in this form, she is capable of going into her old form if she desires and to some extent? Kerillian's will has retained a bit of her old self, but she is without a doubt corrupted, but more or less for her own freedom and wishes, no longer binded. So while she could easily swallow someone? I will not do that unless a bad end is requested even if it's apart of her character to take the souls and faces of people. And any bad ends will be moved to the sideblog under a readmore for explicit horror and graphic reasons. She obviously dwarfs her old self literally in terms of power and size by leagues worth.

40k Corruption Differences: (Keep in mind I have to take creative liberties here but I’ll try to fit into canon since only humans can be Daemon Princes. As there are no real Eldar Daemons from what I understand but it does not mean it’s impossible probably) Main Things to note: She is capable of Warp Travel to go across time and space as a daemon, granted only in places capable of warp travel that’s not past the great barrier. As I’m considering the Psionic Wall the Imperium has around it, then her Corruption into a Daemon Prince is a concerning and a terrifying evolution of Slannesh. Using an Eldar Soul Stone that is absorbed by Slannesh to reward those corrupted that fall to chaos with immortality and to become a Daemon Eldar Prince if proven worthy of being more useful than simply as ‘food’. She is still what she was previously for 40k verse, but receives a vision and promise from Slannesh in her great campaign to create an endless cycle of pleasure, success, dance and a graceful dance for herself and her dark god.

Motivations: Default Fantasy Verse: To survive. To possibly end her exile. To be free. To be happy. To find love. To have a good fight. To possibly have friends. 40K Verse: To conquer, but reasonably so. To pursue the interests of the Craftworlds and deal with the looming problem of chaos in the background. To perhaps... one day mend alliances should the chance ever present itself, granted, she sees it as a slim, near impossibility with the rampant doctrines and xenophobia of the Imperium of Man. To destroy the Dark Eldar. To destroy all threats to the Craftworlds. Corrupted Verse: To serve her Dark Master in the Great Game and to reach an endless, never-ending cycle of her Dark Prince’s designs, this is mostly as an eternal debt she sees for her freedom, immortality and massive power she’s earned as she maintained her free will through sheer will power, for that is what marks a true Daemon Princess/Prince. To indulge in all lustful things and passions, to create new goals and ambitions now that she has an eternity of immortality to do with as she pleases and whatever unfortunate soul befalls her faceless, hungering maw. Backstory: follows canon, merely look for her on her wiki. Granted we can just do adventures in any fantasy setting, I don’t mind. Then the corruption verse is pretty straight-forward. Look up any Daemon Prince or Demon Princess of Slannesh and how they serve their dark god and then combine it with her own goals. I am fine to use her Elven Verse and Daemon Verse in any settings that relate to your character in question or the other or corrupting someone to her will.

Corruption Verse Daemon Form Visual Reference: granted she’s lacking the two extra arms but I suppose just imagine they’re there like the rest or simply are those. Then far larger than the human that’s draped around the tail. She wields three spears in different hands, then wrist-mounted shields that are made to be more akin to bracers.

Note: the og artist is on twitter @virlandil. These are merely heavy edits I did to the purple body. Wings, eyes, then the added snake hair. They are very talented and did an excellent job drawing this design they drew for someone. I just happened to get lucky that someone had wanted basically what I needed as a base.
