Character Preview: Chanwe, Mother of Monsters (Patreon)

Out of the veil steps a figure, the air seeming to cling to it like a thick membrane. Only as the ephemeral skin tears do its features become apparent.

Its skin is an oily, iridescent black, dripping and congealing. Its broad chest surmounts a swollen belly that distorts and distends as it is pressed by movement within. In the place of braids, snakelike tendrils dance and twitch to a rhythm of their own. What remains of its robes are corroded, and stained a sickly yellow. Its eyes are pools of glimmering light, shifting and swirling, never quite taking a palpable form.

It extends its arms out wide, as though for an embrace, and speaks in a voice that carries the echoes of many others.

“We meet again, son of my son.”

Fourth of our new characters for Chapter 3 is... well, a little familiar, a little unfamiliar. Consorting with strange forces offers many benefits, if you're willing to pay the price. Mother serves as the spokesentity for the proteans, and welcomes new playthings for their many children.

Mother's character art will be done by Vira, but this gives you an idea of what to expect. Mother will be voiced by Midnight Iris, and promises to give me an aneurysm in post-production.
