“Acting for the greater good…as i have done all my life.” Entry 1: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/736778307/ +++ The promised 2nd entry for this char! ;w; click for next! 1 - scene of alister, I really love how this turned out! He’s travelling between his visions (he has the ability of foresight, its up to your creative interpretation which side is reality and which side is visions, or if they’re both visions :00) (ALSO YES I FORGOT THE STARS IN HIS TAILS AND HIS FINS AGAIN AUGHHH ;w;) 2 - same as 1, but without the glittery line in the middle 3 - same as 1, but without monochrome filter on alister 4 - alright so- Originally this entry was supposed to be a comic lol, i lost motivation for it when i realized the plot made zero sense in the way i wrote it lol, but I thought I'd just put this here since a lot of time went into the sketch and planning ^^’ oh and fun fact, the (kind of cheesy) quote at the beginning of the desc was supposed to go on the last panel of the comic, I just never finished it ;-;) Backstory (and a better version of what was supposed to be in the comic): ++++++++++++++++++ In an alternate universe where every intelligent being is given a special ability unique to their personalities, Alister is gifted the power of foresight. For as long as anyone had known him, he was skittish and reserved, with a genuinely sweet and gentle side that almost no one knew existed because of his shyness. From the moment he received his special ability, shortly after birth, Alister became blind in both eyes except for being able to see faint light and shadows, and the occasional blurs of colour. However, he didn't live life without knowing what it was like to truly see the world - when experiencing visions of the future, his sight would be completely restored (though according to those same visions, he would never truly gain back his sight in reality), and he learned what the world might be like through the lens of the visions. Apart from this, Alister had a happy childhood. Until it ended abruptly, when creatures discovered the ways they could use their abilities in increasingly more destructive ways. Not long after the first attacks, a full-scale war broke out, and the world Alister knew dissipated in a matter of weeks. A utopia turned upside-down. Desperate to maintain peace, Alister tried to use his visions for the greater good, to show others what the future could look like, if only they did the right thing. But hunger for power and revenge had consumed everyone Alister tried to convince, and he was ignored or shoved out of the way. Bruised and battered, and his spirits giving in to despair and the weight of so much failure, Alister hid his physical self away somewhere no one could find him, and his mind retreated into the depths of his thoughts, a nook in his mindspace where he was protected from the horrors outside. Here he stayed, for who knows how long. Until he woke up one day to discover that his tails and back legs had turned into a mysterious, jelly-like substance. Panicked, he realized that he had stayed in that place too long. He was slowly disappearing, his body taking the form of a spirit as proof. Still, Alister was hesitant to go back outside, when he could continue to remain safe here, even if it would eventually lead to his downfall. But he realized that he may as well be the only being that knew just what the world could be like - he could /see the future/. He could change the path of the universe, restore his homeland to the beautiful utopia he had known all his childhood. He just had to fix this dystopia first. He knew he could, if only he used the visions he had been given as a gift. If only he did something about them. So Alister pulled himself out of his mindspace, out of the consuming darkness of his thoughts. And, gathering himself, he set out back outside, into the wilderness - with a new purpose, a new mission - and even though he knew that he may not live to see the day peace was restored, it wouldn't stop him from believing that he could set things on a different path, that he could make a difference for the better. To this day, Alister continues with this mission. Some call him crazy for having such dreams of grandeur, but he continues to restore balance with his abilities, with the help of those who might listen to him. ++++++++++++++++++ I think that's everything, hope you enjoyed! :D
