Veggietails

(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you)
<brutus - the buttress>
Based on my personal interpretation of animus magic wherein souls abide by the law of conservation. Ve is the coalescence of all expended souls since the phenotype of animus magic appeared.
ve/ver/vem + it/its
appearance
* intrinsically incorporeal but can manifest verself wherever ve finds suitable, effectively teleporting
* ambiguous hybridoid body, icewing-seawing-nightwing dominant
** ALT - smooth, featureless, ethereal blinding white
* it has four pairs of wings, but does not need them to fly
* cool-leaning palette: main colours are white with green, blue, purple
** membranes are translucent white with luminescent white runic 'markings' that follow vascular networks
** upper body: black and white, sand-ice scale pattern
** lower body: possibly mauve and indigo? (echoing blue/purple of head and neck)
*** somewhat warmer in tone
** probably can be depicted with ceremonial armour of sorts
* always represented in art with multiple halos of disconnected circles and planetary rings, at times interlocking
* millennia old
conduct
* rather unpredictable... ver psyche is not bound by logic and ve has poor reasoning; ve only acts and reacts, outside of any recognizable form of sentience. it is irrational and wrathful.
* very adept with words, at predicting and deciphering one's thoughts.
psyche
* no internal monologue. devoid of emotion, warm or cold. its wrath is an utter and total obliteration, a pure conclusion.
* solely determined to perpetuate and ensure its own existence, even if it is incapable of extermination.
* extremely self-centered.
abilities
* ve can not perform animus magic by verself, but is able to possess persons with weak resolve or self-concept
** ve can only take over one's consciousness if one is willing, and allow vem to enter one's mind
*** this allows vem to utilize the body as an instrument and expend its soul as fuel
** oftentimes the vessel will not survive, and will understandably burn up from having shared its presence with a god. if they do happen to survive, their mind will be desecrated, shattered beyond salvation
lore
* it is borne of souls sacrificed and wishes granted. intrinsically, it is neither good nor evil.
* that being said, ve is generally feared and despised by skywing society, for the use of animus magic means surrendering part (or all) of one's soul to Ve, which disrupts or removes one from the cycle of reincarnation. using animus magic means that one's soul will never reach spiritual peace through a natural and gradual ascension through the karmic cycle, and must suffer in eternity.
