Fell Star (WIP) [Updated 04/03/2022]

Fell Star is literally the embodiment of all the things I love in a game/story :face_holding_back_tears: :heart: instantly jumped to the top of my favorites list.

Keep up the great work and I wish the best for this game! Looking forward to knowing more about Asol, he is a character that really intrigued me–Shian too :slight_smile:

Okay, I do have one question. Is low sanity a requirement to become monstrous? Because I kinda love being monstrous.

And a question for the thread in general I guess, did you base your Harbinger on something/someone?

@Yachire Thank you for the lovely words and for your support~ I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed the demo in it’s current state and honored that you consider it one of your favorites. I shall do my best to bring the story to justice and up to par ^^

@Vitiate For Chapter One, Low Sanity is required for MC to just go crazy in general, as Sanity is what allows MC to be in control. With Low Sanity, MC isn’t able to control themselves as much as they would like and end up showing things about themselves they’re trying to hide (such as their multiple eyes, etc). MC can just be in their abyssal form any time they wish, although the public wouldn’t quite like that
 But there will be moments where High Sanity MCs can choose to show their monstrous forms when the time calls for it.

I would love to also hear what people made their Harbinger as well :eyes: Personally for me, I made one of my Harbinger look a bit like Aldrich with a mix of Gwyndolin from Dark Souls, and another of my Harbinger based on the style of the Abyssal or Awakened Ones of Claymore.

Was thinking of something like that, probably for Lunacy. Probably a cliche heh.
And for spiritualist, I don’t know - something white themed. Probably going to go for Gwyndolin with more wings or feathers or wispy bits because I’m boring like that.
For Elementalist something more naturey - green knightish. Like a mix between Malfurion from WoW, that one mounted golden knight bossfight from Elden Ring and Kars from Jojo part 2. Something really deserving of a memorable disney villain song :rofl: Might draw that.

The new update was so nice.
I have some suspects for the uname character at the end of the demo.
And I loved the different choices. We can really go one way or another and every time there is a logic.
Shian is so precious !!

i didnt really based my mc off of anyone since i usually just go like blank slate everytime or just make them as close to looking as my oc. i kinda sorta think of him as a plague doctor and the air of authority from a not really a ruler but the right hand man of that ruler. my mc carries himself with poised elegance and calmness. i imagine him using like very formal wording. i would like to see options for wings if its possible. maybe horns too.

i do wonder why asol reacted that way to the mc when he say their face. that scene has been stuck in my brain for so long. like did he see all the souls attached to the mc? was he just shocked and confused when the mc decided to just not fight back? also, did the sword leave a scar on the mc’s chest (or was it the stomach?) or nah? cause id definitely be jokingly (awkwardly trying to flirt more like) and be like, its ur fault i got this so now you gotta kiss it better

everytime i comeback here all i get are more questions and more simping for asol. im down bad :pensive:. asol on my mind 24/7. may u spare some crumbs for this poor asol simp, author? :pleading_face::palms_up_together: jk lmao

Okay, thank you! That answers it.

Also, my Harbinger is kind of based on the Yellow King. But seriously, I love the eldritch options.

I don’t have anything in mind, for now, I’m waiting till I see the options. But I’ve always been a sucker for wings-especially black feathered wings- so I guess I’ll go with that, but I also want a tail. Maybe a large black panther (imagine purring for Shian or the RO) or wolfish appearance.

My MC pre-death had a Dancer of the Boreal Valley look. Towering over all comers, covered head to toe in armor which was adored with flowing silk reminiscent of the souls they give form. The only thing unarmored was their face, which they left veiled.

Current day they’re a little cryptidy. Pale, tall and lanky. A mop of long black hair covering their four-eyed face. Moving like they aren’t use to their own skin (they’re too use to their armor, being out of it just feels uncomfortable to them). I think visually they’d mostly take off of skinwalkers or the Rake, just a little less monster and more human. They have a tendency to talk slowly with a smooth monotone.

Their eldritch form is kind of an eldritch skinwalker. Unnaturally large with far too many gangly limbs with too many joints that all end in clawed fingers. An antlered head filled with too many razor sharp teeth. Glowing eyes all over their body.

My Harbinger is “human” but more graceful like except for the third eyes conceal by a veil for a touch of mystery.For the human she seems like a dignified and mysterious not really human lady? Also I choose to be a Soulweaver so I guess they can see a sort of ghost court?
But for my headcanon the real reason is that she is really trying to remain polite when talking with human. But sometimes she’s so tired of listening to the same discours of " why she 's a evil being and it’s the final battle againt the calamity that she rolls her three eyes and would appear very bored without the veil.But she doesn’t want to ruin their big day even if they will die so she keep her real emotion behind it.
Her face is very easy to read so in the current situation she will trie to find a subsitute piece when things calm down.

Thank you everyone for sharing your Harbinger(s)!

It’s nice to see what players have chosen to make their characters look like, as it’s quite fascinating to see the differences and interpretations of what people like to have and make. Everyone is so creative and imaginative of what their Harbingers are, I love them!

@yb_minhee Aha, worry not. Many people are simping for the Templar, much to my surprise, as you aren’t the only one. The scar MC has is on their chest, as if MC were to romance Asol, I’m certain if MC asked, Asol would kiss the wounds he’d inflicted on MC with gentle caresses’ and touches. (He would melt if MC does it to him as well :eyes:)

We will certainly be able to have the option to ask Asol what he saw in MC before MC ‘died’ as a choice, as things will vary depending on the choices made during the course of the journey and the beginning.

If you wanna know a bit of what Asol was thinking, here are some spoiler perspective of what the Templar will think of MC, depending on the choice they chose in the prologue that has influenced his thoughts of the Harbinger


Scarred Eye Asol's thoughts

It’s impossible. You should be dead. Asol killed you, yet you stand right before his eyes. The man knows it’s you. The scar you left on him throbs, aching when he sees you. What he can see with the blessing that lingers within him, tells him everything. The very same essence that he saw before is the very same as long, long ago.

Volatile, wild, dangerous but also beautiful.

He knows well that he has lived far beyond his human years. Are you merely a shadow who refuses to allow him to rest? For years, have you haunted his dreams as they’ve been plagued with nothing but you.

Your face. Your words. Your voice. Nothing but just you. Asol cannot simply turn a blind eye, if it is truly you who stands before him.

Asol thoughts

How is it possible? You died. Your essence disappeared before his eyes. So how are you still standing? Identify yourself. Who are you to take on that persona? There is only one being that he knows who has the same soul like that.

That same, ravenous, desperate and exhausted soul. It isn’t your right to take that form when it belongs to that person who lingers in the back of his mind. Show yourself, imposter! Or, perhaps is this some kind of twisted joke?

No, Asol knows better than that. His eye tells him the truth and you’re truly the person he slew long ago. Even so, he doesn’t want to believe it. The words you said to him that fateful day still whisper into his ears. They haunt him in his dreams. He cannot rest because of you. But if you’re truly alive


Asol will judge you once more.

Nah. You’re not the only one. As soon as our power is back normal I’ll fight him the first chance i get. I wonder how his eye is since I blinded before dying

I forward to meeting him again just to see his reactions and if he still wants to finish what he started a long time ago. I want to know what he thinks about being alive and how he judges the group that did it

Eh, my Harbringer’s attitude is basically Asol had the power to kill him, so he did. That’s just how it works.

I’ve decided that his blue and orange morality is that it’s a sin to kill people who don’t give you permission to kill them. The people who attacked him, they volunteered to play the game, they knew the consequences of failure, they made their choice.

The Harbringer played the game, so Asol didn’t transgress when he killed Orion. Those are just the rules.

People who aren’t playing the game are off limits, though, including those who surrender or seek to flee.

So that’s how I view it- My Orion values life, but values free will even more.

Nah, what my Orion will be interested to know is if Asol has learned since then, or is he still trapped playing the hero in a story told by others.

I’d like to imagine that my Harbringer Yulia is built upon hatred as it’s all she’s ever known. I believe when one person shares their emotions and feelings with another, some of that energy transfers to the person who receives it. That’s why my Harbringer is just seething with hate and doesn’t trust anything having to do with humans or celestial powers. Why should she trust them or feel any other way if she’s been in an environment where hate is the only thing present? Like an animal, when you teach it hate it will reciprocate. Trick it over and over and it will learn to forever be distrustful—it adapts to that.

She wants humans to learn that hate breeds unnecessary death.

And for my Harbringer’s monstrous form I imagine her looking like this with a mix of a Xenomorph (love their boney-sharp tails) :slightly_smiling_face:
