Tag: skorn

Skorn is a chill vulture 90% of the time. When on patrol on on duty, he’s silent and attentive. He is, however, the least loyal Vulture to Hysteria and isn’t as religiously tied to her. Instead, he’s loyal to her for creating him and knowing his purpose is to serve her. He doesn’t imprint easily, but there’s few he will be very friendly to even if they’re on the wrong side. Night Watch was one of ‘em 8D

Just a wee doodle, taking place riiiiight before Hysteria started torturing them 😀

The Vultures

The Vultures are a strange species created by Hysteria when she was a child in attempt at making dependable minions. She gathered leftovers from her meals, pushing the pieces together and using her portal master abilities to bring them life. Although they are technically chimeras, she refers to them as ‘her vultures’, as every single chimera is made using a bearded vulture’s head and other species’ parts. In the beginning, she creates three main vultures; Vayn, Envii, and Skorn. However when she’s older, she begins to create more and more, eventually allowing them to breed until she has a full army. But the three main become her generals, with Vayn being her second in command.

The vultures praise Hysteria as their deity, for she brought them life and feeds them power. In turn, making them dangerously loyal to her. They each have a magical link to her, ensuring that not one would defy her, working almost like a brain-washing spell. If one shows even the slightest bit of resilience to Hysteria, they are either beaten by the other vultures, or killed. 

Vayn
Species : Bearded Vulture, Gryphon, Crocodile
Sex : Male
Description : Vayn was the first of Hysteria’s vultures to be born, and the most loyal to her. He follows her every step, and listens to her orders to a T. Everything he does is in Hysteria’s interest. Hiss does like this, however he easily gets on her nerves for being too clingy.

Envii
Species : Bearded Vulture, Striped Hyena
Sex : Female
Description: Over-zealous, but still loyal. Envii does what her goddess tells her to do, but will most likely end up killing her target instead of capturing them, or becomes too distracted with the kill to listen to orders. Envii is very aggressive and easy to tempt into fighting. While she’s the most lethal of the vultures, her enthusiasm is her fault.

Skorn
Species : Bearded Vulture, Panther, Mule Deer
Sex : Male
Description : Skorn is often found sleeping and sun bathing when he isn’t following Hysteria’s orders. He can be seen as lazy, but when he’s given a goal, he’s dangerously attentive. He’s the quietest out of the three main vultures, but will aid in Envii’s games to tease Vayn.

Trivia

  • Hysteria’s vultures were, as is most things with me, inspired by a song. Delain’s newest album, The Human Contradiction, had been released, and upon listening to the first song I decided that not only would the lead singer Charlotte Wessels be adult Hysteria’s voice, but her minions would be gryphon vultures. The first song off of their CD is called “Here Come The Vultures”, which I can without a doubt visualize Hysteria singing.
  • Vayn was then inspired by the gryphon from the awful movie nobody should ever see called “Quest to Camelot”, as well as my love of gryphons.
