rune was very briefly a pink witch before going tits out cowboy at an alarmingly speed (shit actually i need to draw more cowboy)
i will always find it funny how fast i also went from drawing like steven universe and cute magical girls to “i will now only draw my scrunkly as shit elf. they are literally the only thing i want to draw” and i’ve learned so much from that lol
i think it was literally like a month between cute witch and fantasia thoughts fffkfflff (that art is from like june, so here’s a more recent one cause i love comparisons :D )
rune is an alias they chose to avoid being tracked after leaving sharlayan, only to later find out no one had enough interest in their research to warrant finding them :| but they liked it so it stuck
they do have a proper elezen name but i keep changing it cause i’m indecisive, but also they’d only use rune around most people anyways so it’s fine fffff someone says they’re good at inscribing runes one time and they make it their whole thing
ooc reason is cause i name all my game characters some variant of rune aren after my first skyrim character so i don’t spend 6 hours on the character create screen and i didn’t think i’d like playing enough to worry about a lore compliant name OTL
I had rune around 30, then I mathed a bunch figuring out how long it took jannequinard and leveva to learn astromancy, and serendipity goldsmithing, how old they’d be at the sharlayan exodus, and how long it’d take to become an archon…to end up at 30 again OTL
oh I’m gonna be rune age next year fghffgfffgf
Lumi is 32 and had a similar thing but figuring out how old she’d have to be to have a red mage stone, and training in a bunch of fields. I’ve been thinking she should be a little older though…
rune is sharlyan. unfortunately. they love it. even after leaving they still eat it when they wanna work instead of make real food. eating a proper meal will make them sob with how nice it tastes, then later they’re back to eating the stupid loaf again.
their mum grew up near gridania and makes a somewhat nicer version without the fish. it still has most of the uh- qualities of a traditional archon loaf though
tryin to figure out how to draw these guys
