Lantern Keepers ::: Set 1 [Closed]by *Saibraeus

I tried to draw these small so that I could keep things simple and quick.....

That didn't work out very well.

Offer USD/points/art/customs/trades // I will choose an offer within 2-3 days.

Please respond to "offer for ____" comment.

I doubt anyone will, but offers $30 or over will receive a single portrait like these:

This is the ACTUAL SIZE. I'm sorry they're small-- Please keep that in mind when you offer ; A;

Please refer to my adoptable rules in my profile page.

You are free to use the following story or ignore it completely~!

_{I was curious about the original species type of adoptables so I thought I'd make a closed set myself.

These little guys are just called lantern keepers for now. They are guardians of a sort-- When they find a mortal that they wish to bond with, they become caretakers of the human's soul [To keep it pure; as such they usually bond with children]. That soul is transferred into their lanterns for safekeeping. Upon their mortal partner's death, lantern keepers act as guides and protectors to safely deliver that soul through the chaos of the other world, onto the human's next reincarnation. Once that's complete, they are absolved of their pact and are free to find new partners.

Lantern keepers are divided into four categories and are very status oriented.

The lowest tiers are the ones with the least powers-- they are new spirits, or more like 'apprentice' spirits. Their ability to purify is very weak and they're often overworked as a result of needing on-the-clock surveillance of their mortal. They can be recognized by having upward horns and a single pair of wings.

The middle tier is more powerful than the last. They have enough power to keep their lantern lit and purified for two or three days at a time. These are marked by backwards curved horns and two sets of wings.

The top and most powerful tier usually end up the laziest (but not necessarily), since they have so much power that it doesn't cost anything for them to disappear for months at a time. They are able to purify any level of corruption that happens to their humans in their absence. They can be told apart by their forward curving horns and triple seraph-like wings. They often carry more than one lantern because they are able to maintain multiple souls.

There is also a spellbreaker/binder, which doesn't exactly fit anywhere...... u vu They are marked by curled, ram-like horns and can take on any type of wing.

I'll put all this and some more info in a journal sometime, if people are interested.}
