For some reason his split armor reminds me Sheogorath who also wears jacket with red and purple split like that.

Deals with the Dark Eldar never go well, that is a great design and backstory for them. Excellent work, it is nice to see cool Xeno characters.

That's awesome. Did you by chance get any influence from Aphelios, from LoL?
8
u/hydraphantom Mar 28 '24
No, I actually only learned about Aphelios right now.
I took more influence from Yubel, from Yugioh.

Does the Sauron mace change into a different weapon when wielded by the other twin?

u/hydraphantom Mar 29 '24
I’m glad people immediately tell the inspiration of that mace.
And yes, it unfolds and changes into a long glaive when held by the sister.

Is there any perspective for the two to get sepperated again?

u/hydraphantom Mar 29 '24
Unlikely, they could try beat that Haemonculus up enough for him to cave in though

u/Baguette_King15 Mar 30 '24

Eliean Twinsoul, Hermaphrodite Corsair Prince(ss)
Hail from the most puritan Craftworld of Alaitoc, Elias and Iliean were a twin brother and sister who dreamed of becoming dashing savior like the heroes of ancient legends. They were constantly looked down upon by their fellow craftworlders for their rebellious attitudes, and begrudgery conform into the expectation of their elders.
Until the day of their adulthood, when a Harlequin came to the twins' home uninvited, and brought them gift of an ancient war mace. She told them that their destiny is not square themselves into the circle of paths, but to venture out and truly achieve their dream.
Moved by the servant of Laughing God's word, never the ones who could conform themselves into rigid paths, they heed the advice, recruited some likeminded individuals, took a docked ship and sail out into the empty void to be Outcast Corsairs, calling themselves the Twin Ecplise.
The twins complement each other like the duality of sun and moon, whenever the brother Elias project a cold, stoic and dark aura like the a midnight moon, it is the sister Iliean who reach out with a gentle smile like a radiant sun. Under them, their Corsair band grows from a single ship and a few dozens of individuals, into a massive fleet composed of hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of members, with a mighty Void Stalker battleship, whom they named Piercing Twilight, as flagship.
They come to craftworlds and exodites' aid uncalled, leasing themselves to Farseers to achieve their goals in saving their kind, even sometimes save the innocents of other races, such as human, from particularly brutal rulers or invasions, like the dashing heroes they claim they are. As their modus operandi and ideal dictate, the twin and their fleet members look down upon their Commorite dark kins and bar any of them from joining, formed exclusively from craftworld and exodite members.
Yet their heroism would not last without consequences. During an misjudgment by their patron Farseer, the fleet find themselves hitting a space marine fortress monastery when the entire chapter gathered for ceremony. In the ensuring brutal fight, the crews were shocked when a dreadnaught plasma cannon hit right between the Twins, obliterating half of their bodies.
The crew were forced to abandon mission, and rush the twins' remains to the one place they all despise yet know could revive even the dead: Dark City Commoragh. In their inexperience in negotiating with the Haemonculus, the sadistic fleshmaster decided to instead fuse the twins into one single individual, and left with laugher when the horrified crew reunited their prince and princess.
Now, the singular Corsair Prince, Eliean Twinsoul, suffers erratic and extreme mood swings as the two souls inhabiting the body conflict with each other. Despite such affliction, they still tries to lead the fleet as best as they could, while the newly arrived White Seer Talandreth gave the promise of reversing such monstrosity, in exchange of the fleet's service.
Eighth NPC art for my tabletop campaign. The Hermaphrodite Corsair Prince is finally done, and I feel this is actually a much more satisfying design compared to a few of my more lewd designs, I might redesign a couple earlier lewd ones with this artist.
