Born like the rest, broken then molded into something she was never meant to be. Without her Fury abilities, born an Ice dragon like her father, she was given the name Acerna to compliment Acerbus, and his mother Aspurna. Acerbus had dreamed of being a father, but was a poor one. Controlling, manipulative, Acerna was forced to uphold her father’s impossible standards to be his trophy child to parade. All hopes and dreams of independence, a life for her to mold and lead, was smashed as a child. Becoming a distant, cold, indifferent adult training to be Acerbus’ replacement in the Guardian’s circle. 

Okay THIS was fun 😀 Imaging Feur hatching as an ice dragon instead of a fury elemental Kuros was different but kinda heartbreaking too. Acerbus always wanted to be a father for the worst reasons, not to have something to love but to have something to love him, to build up honor for him more then them. He wouldn’t be the worst father, just not a good one. 

I would like to think that she does eventually break from Acerbus’ mental hold on her thanks to Ignitus when she’s training to possibly become a Guardian, and thanks to him awakening the stubborn fight in her she drops out and follows another career of HER choosing. And this may just be the trash in me but I kinda like the idea that in this AU, her and Ignitus would be a thing. Could yall just imagine Acerbus’ anger 8,D

I kept her design close to Acerbus’, but still nodding to Yahvii’s disguise. I don’t know who her mother would be, not Yahvii since Yehkshir only give birth to Kurosian offspring so the Yahvii-ish aspects are more of a nod than accurate *shrugs* NONETHELESS this was real fun, thank you!

Okay, so Aceribus might just wanted to have kids only to show them off (which is kinda dickish), but did he feel genuine fatherly pain when the eggs with his deceased mate never hatched at all?

OOC : Acerbus didn’t think of it as a way to show off persay. In his mind, he did want a family as that was pretty much the stable of family life in Warfang; Become a highly respected figure in society, get a mate, and have a family to pass down your noble name. Pretty similar to Kurosians, only they were more military/honor based. 

Acerbus wanted a family but not that he would admit it; he’s not really a family man exactly. He’s very proud of Volteer and in his eyes, Volteer can do no wrong, but having and raising kids of his own would be difficult. He has zero patience and gets frustrated easily when things don’t go his way or people don’t think the way he does, and with children you need a bottomless pit of patience to raise. Acerbus could be loving, but he’d be a pretty terrible daddy.

He was incredibly jealous of Infernacus for multiple reasons. To Acerbus, Infernacus was given everything Acerbus had always wanted out of life; good looks, seemingly god-given talents in his abilities, the female Acerbus desired, and had a family. Acerbus did find a female that he did genuinely love despite her frail body, and he had hope every single time his eggs were laid (if they were laid). Time and time again, when none of his children hatched and his wife grew weaker and weaker with each clutch, Acerbus grew more bitter until he lost Leona. Which, made him the dickfart we all know in FD 😀 granted, the events with Yahvii actually made him more paranoid and violent (why he kept attacking Ignitus, he was desperate and at his wits end).

Acerbus just didn’t show it, so many assumed the worst from him that he never cared for her. He’s just very stand-offish, he doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve and he kept private business his own in public. He was formal with Leona in public, but he did actually love her and he loved his eggs. He even had a glimmer of hope for Feuriah to not be a Kuros, but he didn’t speak up when her egg appeared in fear of it being a Kuros (and in turn, he’d be revealed to having laid with one and in that time, the consequences would be detrimental). Acerbus’ status was too important to just risk that, so he stayed quiet and hoped that maybe, just maybe, his egg would actually be another purple dragon and the hope for Warfang. He flip flops a lot being hopeful and pessimistic, though.

Acer is a complicated guy but it’s easy to assume the worst from him given his personality and actions; Lost Queen sees him being very awful and wouldn’t believe at all that he could even feel love. Acerbus makes a ton of mistakes so he’s not really an brooding guy with a good heart; he thinks he is, but he does some bad things that doesn’t make him innocent. Somewhat good intentions, at least 🙂

OOC : I was fiddling through my old sketchbooks from my late highschool/early college years, and stumbled through quite a LOT of old FD doodles. I figured, hell why not share some of them? 8D Mind you, these are around 6-8 years old O-O’’ But, comes to show yall, you definitely grow over the years x,D

The first two are SUPER early doodles of baby Feur, which at the time still had a handful of years before she was shown in comic. I think these were drawn around the time I was doing the animation AppleEye, in which Acerbus kills baby Feuriah x,D

Next was drawn in 2009/2010, of Nikolios (he was only recently implemented into FD, he’s originally just an OC weredood!). I remember being so proud of the anatomy of this one… my god x,D

Of course, Acerbus studies. There were a TON of these in my sketchbooks, ranging from him as a baby, an awkward teen, and just expressions. I only took a picture of this one because it was a splashpage of JUST acerbus, my sketchbooks were filled to the absolute BRIM of Weird doodles (who, was my mirror demon gal. She was drawn the most when I was in college all four years). Then Baltimor, when he grows older, and YEAH it’s still planned he gets HUGE. Gawd my wing anatomy *winces*

Last, I don’t actually remember this, but it must be a reject FD page. I kept all the FD pages in a separate binder (which I still have).

I may upload more old art things, I just thought it was fun to show these ones off! I’ll go find the sketchbooks which have the very, VERY first concept doodles of Feuriah. They’re incredibly embarrassing, but hay, misewell show eh? 😀

??? – Such a desperate dragon, that Acerbus was. So desperate he didn’t see the signs, not until it was too late. He was a lucky guy though, hunters came and chased the demon god thing away before it ate him. He didn’t tell a soul, his shame was too great, and the hunters left without a word. They were not of Warfang. But the experience reminded him of the stories that were once thought to be myth, so in the back of his mind, he knew. 

Also, my Mistress told me to retrieve the special egg out of the evil clutch. So I did, and I put it in Warfang. Mistress saw nothing in Acerbus, but I tried to tell him. He just didn’t want to listen. He didn’t want it. The living are so… weird.

I am sad that the special egg made the poor choice. It was such a special little egg… the living ruined it’s purpose, but maybe it can still be of help. No matter how much the living tainted the special egg, they could not ruin her heart. There is still hope, maybe not for Warfang, but for the balance.

Dream well~

OOC : This was a little too fun x,D

BAH, one thing that’s really driving me insane is the different color ratios between the three screens I have. The tablet itself has a warmer tone, which needs fixing, the Mac loves to make darks look lighter, and the PC darkens things @n@’ REALLY WOULD LIKE TO FIX THE COLOR DIFFERENCES THAT WOULD BE LOVELY! Onto the others though ;D
