Trilania with a katana held over the crook of her arm. She is in a drunken fist fighting stance surrounded by bubbles.
St Trina in adult form. She is wearing baggy black clothes and leather armour modelled after Thiollier's set. Her knee-length hair creates a veil over her eyes and is tied in three large braids. The colour gradually changes from silvery-lavender to a deep purple at the tips.
[A mock up of a Nightfarer's codex page for an Elden Ring OC] A rogue in leather armour and a mask, with their hair tied back and a sword at their hip. They have a curled feathery tail with leather pouches, knives, and clay pots strapped to the side. Text on the image reads: A wandering rogue that uses a vast collection of items and eclectic skills to escape danger and help those in need. Their propensity to disappear as quickly and quietly as they arrived has earned them the moniker “Padfoot.” An agile generalist who not only makes effective use of nearly all weapons, but can suppliment them with unique benefits while two-handing, charging an attack, or dodging. Preference: Straight Swords Passive Ability: Spirit Sprint Traverse silently with great speed and agility. Footsteps create no sound. Surge sprint costs less stamina and allows for the use of unique attacks and contextual movement options, such as a double jump. Character Skill: Aspect of the Crucible: Fine Feather Tail Manifest supple tail and fine wings to attack and enhance movement even further. The effect of this skill is contextual, and is altered when used in conjunction with specific actions, or if followed by additional inputs. Ultimate Art: Smithscript Arsenal Conjure forth a suite of items and enhance the effects of all nearby consumables and weapons. Hold to spawn items and weapons in exchange for spending more of the Ultimate Art gauge to activate. Use empowered items and weapon skills that drain Ultimate Art gauge based on equipment held. Activate again to resume normal item use early. Attributes: HP: B FP: C Stamina: A Strength: C Dexterity: B Intelligence: B Faith: B Arcane: A
Panel 1: We see a close up of Padfoot's eyes narrowing in suspicion as Ranni continues. "The talk, I surmise, is of thee. Thou'rt possessed of the power to call forth a spectral steed, no?" Panel 2: Padfoot folds their arms, unimpressed, and retorts. "Well, I doubt you just wandered aimlessly into the countryside to bother whoever you found there, based on a whim and hearsay. Be honest. How long have you been watching us?" Panel 3: Ranni's expression of cool indifference gives way to a flicker of frustration. "Quite the stubborn one, aren't we?" "I prefer 'pragmatically candid.'" Padfoot interjects.
Panel 1-5: "I am the witch Renna." Ranni continues, but Padfoot is only half paying attention, their focus shifting to take in the details of this visitor: Her doll's body, the headwear of a heretic witch, her manner of speech, and her wolf-fur cloak. "It is a pleasure to meet thee ...?" Ranni pauses, waiting for a response. Panel 6: Padfoot lowers their hammer and concedes to answer. "Padfoot." "...Padfoot." Ranni repeats, satisfied. Panel 7: Ranni looks down at Padfoot from beneath the brim of her hat. "Now. I'd heard tell of a Tarnished hurtling about with a spectral steed."
Panel 1: Ranni surveys the scene with apparent indifference and says "My... Thou'rt a wild one indeed." Panel 2: Padfoot responds with furrowed brows, smithing hammer pointed at Ranni. "I'm in the middle of nowhere and just got woken up by a stranger in the dead of night. I'd say I'm being pretty civil all things considered." Panel 3: From above in the church's ruined arches, we see Padfoot warily approach, hammer still raised, as Ranni replies. "Perhaps thine mistrust is to be expected. Allow me to begin again."
Alloyed Padfoot, the Tarnished, stood in green and brown leather, and light metal armour. In their right hand they hold a longsword wrapped in dull purple velvet. In their left, the hold a misericorde and have a crossbow mounted on their wrist. A crown of short horns frames their head, and their eyes are stained with violet nectar. Two sets of wings and a long tail protrude from their back. One set of wing are like an enormous dragonfly's, and the other are black owl's wings that protect them like elytra. The tail is serpentine, but covered in thick feathers making it look like a squirrels. A black cloak hangs off one shoulder and slowly fades into invisibility, partially obscuring some of these animal features. Nestled between the wings, Ranni sits side-sadle. One pair of her arms rest over Padfoot's shoulders, the other holds the Darkmoon Greatsword tucked to one side. Her long, tangled hair fans out behind her, and her spirit form is glowing pale blue. They are both surrounded by motes of blue and coppery light that shine out against a dark, nighttime sky.
Panel 1: Ranni's voice can be heard saying "Tarnished." Panel 2: Padfoot starts awake where they had been sleeping against the anvil in the Church of Elleh, and reaches behind them for the closest weapon available. Panel 3: Padfoot twirls a blacksmiths hammer and swings around, ready to defend themselves from their mysterious interloper. Ranni continues. "May I have a word?" Panel 4: Padfoot, now standing, points the hammer at Ranni, who is perched some distance away on the ruins of the broken church wall. They both watch eachother in silence.
Panel 1: Padfoot whirls around to look up through the treetops as a great gust of wind parts the golden canopy. A dark moon hangs silently in the air above them.
1/?? Panel 1: Pale pink light shines through a dense birch forest. Pink mist drifts through the air. Panel 2: Padfoot looks about with faint curiosity as a gentle breeze blows golden leaves past them. Panel 3: Padfoot looks up through a gap in the golden forest canopy. A streak of starlight can be seen suspended in the night sky. It points in the direction they are travelling. Panel 4: Padfoot's attention is caught by a distant voice on the wind that whispers "Tarnished..."
Padfoot does a silly dance to avoid Malenia's Waterfowl Dance
Padfoot with a large feather serpent tail
Padfoot the Tarnished stares ominously over Ranni's shoulder as she pulls her hat over her ears to avoid listening to them. Padfoot: Even your social avoidence provides information through which i can infer the depths of your soul Ranni: Nooooo
Padfoot with a little St Trina on their head Blaidd looks confused and exasperated Padfoot: There's a lady in my head who calls me studmuffin Blaidd: please leave me alone
[Elden Ring] Padfoot (the Tarnished) looks at the misty apparation of St Trina that has draped herself lazily over their shoulders, surrounding them both in a dreamy haze. Padfoot's brow is furrowed in mild frustration, while Trina wears a mischievous grin. Padfoot: Has anyone stopped to ask if we need another Elden Lord? Trina: Ahuhuhu~ I think we will get along juuust fiiiine~
A scribbly picture of Blaidd biting Padfoot's head. Blaidd's eyes are glowing red and he looks feral. Padfoot is covered in dog slobber and only seems to be mildly uncomfortable despite the teeth stuck in their skull.
Padfoot dances at a leisurely pace as Malenia zooms around at blinding speed slashing with her sword. Despite this, Padfoot miraculously avoids taking any damage.
Rede is struggling to read a map while a large harpy cranes over their shoulder. They are surrounded by snow.
A rogue in green leather armour and a half-cloak leaning over with a large, feathery, reptilian tail curled up behind them. Behind them text reads "Aspect of the Crucible: Fine Feather Tail" but fine feather tail has been scribbled over with red ink, and replaced with with the words "Big Slappy!"
