Description

This boy here has been reborn into a new role now that he has stopped existing as a Nordanner, so here's his original reference re-uploaded with a quickly thrown together background because LOLdAthosetransparentbackgrounds.
Not much info about him for now because that would require me to spoil the plot for the Aksi/Flare storyline, but I'll update things accordingly when the right time comes.


Come quietly now, there is nothing to fear.

Common Tongue Names: Nighttide Delusions, The Kind Reaper, Merciful Demise, The Gentle Embrace, etc.
Real Name: Unknown
Breed: EmpyreanFlares Deity
Gender: Stallion
Age: Immortal
Color: Otherworldly
Height: 18.3 Hh (approx. 191 cm)
Other info: His mane and tail flow in a never-ending cascade of hair, clouds and stars that reflect the night sky around him.
Personality and Basic Story: A mysterious equine that is rarely seen by those in the land of the living. He is believed to be one of the faces of Death, and the one responsible for offering creatures the sleep of the dead in the most serene forms. It is said that the warmth of his body keeps the chill of the night away while his soft, cloud-like hair envelops the souls he carries in a comforting embrace as they peacefully depart to the afterlife.
He is mostly quiet and kind, unlike his counterparts. His presence gives off a feeling of tranquility and solace to those around him.

Can't really go wrong with starry pons! I have to draw him properly soon. Traditionally. With all the stars. And then shoot myself for even thinking of that.
Thank you so much <3

I'm glad I've found the perfect role for him now, I've always loved this guys' design and concept, so when the original owner put him up for sale, I couldn't resist buying him, but he never quite fit the breed, you know? Yes, you're pretty much free to whatever you want with your Nordanner, but the idea for the character didn't fit the breed concept so... I was never attached to him because of him being a Joker, so now he gets to be what I want him to be without any restrictions ^^ And it makes me happy <3

Well he definitely looks inspired now.  I'm so happy that you've found a place/purpose for this boy in your new story/plans for him.

Thank you
I deleted his original reference in a bit of a fit to remove his existence as a Nordanner from my gallery, and let him be completely reborn into his new role later. But since I really liked his reference, I was starting to miss it a little and my gallery felt empty (I have it set as my desktop image at home xD ). So I had to come up with something quick to re-upload it and put my mind at ease
