DTA - Sonnari

<sub>Phew ;w; I spent all day and half of the night working on sketching, on and off x3 I like how you can track how I get progressively less interested in defining various snips of detail, and more interested in just getting the figure down xDDD I'm going to try and finish this before the deadline, but my wrist is half-busted right now, I managed to slip on the bathroom mat after washing my hands, and landed badly on it //sigh I'll have to limit my drawing time to 2 hour sessions, tops, with long breaks -_- I hope I manage to get it finished in time. In my mind, this is a comic strip/mini comic thing, dunno how I'll end up presenting it owo Hope you can read my handwriting, since there's a little quick tidbit about him, my excuse to draw cute >w> I LOVE Fennec foxes ;w; So cute owo I hope you can read my handwriting x3 Some photo refs used for the more complicated poses, quick grid method sketches, including a personal pic of my old babbu with his favorite toy; Sebastian, rest you in doggie heaven <3

Anyway. I ADORE this adorable little guy ;w; I spotted his DTA, and my mind immediately went WANT! xD He's perfect for a lore-intensive rp I have going on with =Artha-Amberose , so here's hoping <3 I'll put all the info I've thought through for him so far below, though I'll probably change up some details here and there ^w^~ Original design here (I haven't put on the main markings yet xD Just the forehead one for reference later owo)</sub>

Name: Sonnari, 'Ari', 'Yin', 'Harmony', 'Marble'
Age: As old as the current universe
Species: Primordial/Primal God
Forms: Can take on any, but has two main forms: a tailless, Fennec fox-like creature, and a humanoid form based off of it.
Spirit Energy: Androgene (Presents and appears male)
Element: Balance/Harmony
Magic enhancing medium: The orb that floats or is located by him at all times, as well as the koi inside it.

Personality: Sonnari is really hard to define; he is currently still recuperating mentally from his past, though he has no real recollection of it at this moment from the trauma he'd experienced prior. For this reason, the previously dormant, and mainly hidden playful, childish side of his personality is what is dominant, so he acts much like you would expect of a 10 year old child, however, need be, he can rather easily switch over to his serious and caring state of mind, concerned for the state of the universe. For a Primordial god, he is rather innocent, finding topics that are remotely sexual rather elusive and intimidating- needless to say, he has little experience in the department. Sonnari adores reading and painting, and has a rather pronounced sweet tooth, as well as an oral fixation. He is very active, and playful, often running around, and often ending up playing with the orb that floats around him, treating it like a ball.

History: As most of the Primordial gods in the existing dimensions of the universe, Sonnari was born, sentient, of the energy created by the big bang. There were many gods created then, of War, Air, Fire, Creation, Healing... Sonnari, in a way, was different from all of them. Each god had an individual ability, a purpose, if you will, and, at birth, was typically bonded to others, feeling family relations similar to that of siblings. Ari, however, was born without such ties, and his existence was dependent on the existence of others due to the nature of his being.

Things were....calm.... Life was rather enjoyable for Sonnari, life was just starting to form, and he roamed the growing Cosmos, watching the Creation Gods make celestial bodies into being, galaxies, stars, asteroids, and, eventually, mortal life. He traveled with no particular purpose, occasionally stopping in various Pantheons for a while to observe, then simply moving on some time later. Everything seemed to finally be sinking in to a semblance of balance, steadily, over time. However, harmony was not to be, at least not then...

As things started to settle out in the universe, certain gods, certain Pantheons started to desire more power. Things started out as mild disagreements, soon morphing into a full on war, most gods eventually drawn into the fray. Sonnari noticed that something was off at the very beginning, feeling the approach of something very wrong. Soon realizing what was going to occur, and what was causing it, he started his attempts to persuade the others to appease their growing anger and greed, trying to show them that all could live in harmony without need of dispute.

It was around this time Ari started to feel two densening balls of energy forming near the center of his being. He felt them growing inside of him, and, before long, they were ready to be born, to be separated from their bearer. The process started off without a problem, however, mid-birthing, he was interrupted forced to use what power he had control over to send off a hostile god that had somehow stumbled upon him. Unfortunately, this caused a hitch in his separation from his children, twins, a boy, and a girl. They would have been powerful, healthy young newlings otherwise, one of light, day, the other of dark-night, never truly born. They remained spiritually linked to him, more of sentient spirits, celestials, rather than newlings, manifesting as koi fish, what would later create the feng shui tie between yin yang and the koi. Distressed, and, knowing, that, while they had great power, power that would help him maintain the universe's balance, they had little way to truly protect themselves.

Determined, he created a near-impenetrable orb of a mineral-like substance that was both spiritual and material at the same time, containing his children within it, as well as a smaller, enchanted orb that would allow him to hide within it, need be. Both Yin, and Yang, as he ended up referring to his children, enjoyed the smaller orb, often playing with it as he traveled.

Unfortunately, Sonnari had spent a significant amount of valuable time caring for his children, while the war grew worse and worse. He didn't give up, continuing his ventures and attempts to patch everything up, but it was as if his words were lain on deaf ears. Before long, the discord of the sentient forces of the universe started to make him rather ill, spiritually and mentally, to the point where he started throwing up a strange, dark spiritual substance, and passing out from time to time, simply feeling unwell, loosing faith in resolving the issue, and seeing less and less of a reason to stop it all.

As a last resort, he traveled to a planet similar to Earth in a different dimension, hoping that granting the mortals there harmonic balance would help him improve his condition, give him more of a chance to resolve the issue in the large scale. However, at that stage, he was too far gone, and too weak to do anything. With a weary feeling in his gut, he entered his own orb, settling into a dormant, resting state within it, so that he could heal and repair himself.

However much time later, a monk found Sonnari's orb, and, believing it to be a guardian deity due to Yin and Yang still moving within it. He took it back to his temple, placing the orb deep within it, behind various form of protection magic. Offerings and prayers were made to it so that it would maintain the harmony of the shrine and temple it was located in. Generations passed, and, eventually, the temple was lost to time, the orb still safely hidden within the temple.

In the modern day, a god descended to that very same planet, traveling amongst its people. Right as he was about to leave, he sensed an odd energy coming from somewhere, deciding to investigate. Tracking the energy down to a abandoned temple, he cautiously entered it, locating Sonnari's orb before very long. Finding it an oddity, he took it back with him to his Pantheon. Several days later, he awoke, leaping at the god who found him with a happy cry of 'MAMA!', licking at his face, the feather-like structures on his back wagging like tails. Surprised, but not unhappy, the god took in what he thought to be a lost godling, caring after him as his own. Sonnari was happy, growing into the Pantheon, having no real memory of his past, destiny, or who he really was, but, at this moment, he has little care about it.
