Description
Update: Bid reserves have not quite been met yet - if not met, I'll be holding onto the designs.I'M FINALLY DONE \o/
Here are the promised Homunculus aetherlings! These are an exceedingly rare variety of aetherling with non-commissionable traits. As of yet, they are the only three in existence, and will likely be released only once or twice a year at most. Homunculi are aetherlings bearing traits deemed "Cursed", often man-made in origin and shunned by others of their kind.
These little guys have more in-depth stories than usual, explaining their (depressing) origins. The stories themselves are not tied to the design, of course, and can be freely changed by the owner if they so please! However if they are going to be used for group prompts, I'd ask that the owners pass any new stories by me first so that the homunculus isn't breaking too many rules.
The ABs on these children are higher than usual because of their excessive rarity.

Homunculus: Chimerical Construct
SB: $60
AB: $600
Owner: $400
Traits: Homunculus. Two essences (UNIQUE). Twin tails (cursed). Crystalline limb (rare). Sylph body type (rare).
Born from the cruelty and selfishness of a human alchemist, this aetherling came into the world at the cost of two living souls. A human scholar sought the recipe to convert lead into gold, and came into the possession of two rare specimens - twin aetherlings, each bearing one of these metals as their essence. He believed that by using their crystals, he could manipulate their aetheric conversion into causing the same effects for metals. When these experiments failed, he became frustrated - the aetherlings would not do as he pleased, because they were incapable of doing so. The human came to a drastic conclusion - to create a new breed of aetherling with two essences, capable of using its magicks to achieve his ends. He forcefully merged the two innocent creatures by placing them both in a flask and charging it with massive amounts of aether.
The resulting explosion killed the man and set his laboratory ablaze, and birthed a new creature - an aetherling of both lead and gold. The alchemist's surviving assistant, distraught by the cruelty of the experiment, took in the poor creature and raised it as her beloved "cat".
Homunculus: Corrupted Aspect
SB: $60
AB: $600
Owner:
Traits: Homunculus. Essenceless (UNIQUE). Massive, spreading crystal growths (cursed). Prismatic crystals (mythic). Drake body type (rare).
This aetherling was born from a curious scholar's attempt to create new life from the energies contained within aetherlings' crystals. With little understanding of the natural processes by which aetherlings are made, he falsely assumed that an aetherling was born from all magicks of the world, rather than that of a single essence. He spent years of his life harvesting the discarded crystals of thousands of aetherlings, assembling them all and charging them with enough aether to forcefully create a new being from the flames. The resulting aetherling was an unstable, powerful creature - lacking any single essence, its crystals draw from all essences surrounding it, causing massive amounts of aether to flow through its body at all times. This allows the aetherling to release bursts of powerful magic rivaling that of a Primal, but at the cost of its own health. If it does not regularly use magic, its bodily crystals will slowly spread and grow until the aetherling itself may be consumed completely.
Homunculus: Wayward Soul
SB: $50
AB: $500
Owner: $200
Traits: Homunculus. Defect crystals causing dissolution of body (UNIQUE). Large ears (uncommon). Multiple ear lobes (uncommon).
This aetherling is a natural homunculus, created by an Aether primal and born with accidentally defective crystal growth. As a result, it never materialized properly through the stages of its life, causing part of its body to constantly dissolve and leak away into aether. It must constantly feed upon its essence, that of lost souls, or else its body may fade away altogether. It travels in the remote areas of the world in search of the lost and unfortunate, and upon meeting them, it judges their worth by the purity of their soul. Those who are good of heart receive the gift of its companionship and energies, while those who are not are slowly eaten away...
Aetherlings are a closed species by kuritures .

These guys are so creepy in a beautiful way! 0-0 especially the backstory of Chimerical Construct is unnerving, and yet very creative and appealing. I love it! Great job! ^w^

I feel like the Corrupted Aspect is "so totally Kuri" so it's kinda nice to see you keep it.
I thought I commented earlier? Guess not, sometimes I get distracted when I'm checking how much stuff is going for. Love the batch! Especially Chimerical Construct. ^.^ All the themes felt appropriate and were well done!

Bid reserves are a secondary limit on auctions basically - in this case I decided to add them because I didn't feel comfortable selling these designs for a certain amount, or because of personal attachment (it's due to their rarity in this case). Basically it's a bar set on the auction value and if it's not crossed, the artist keeps the design, and if it is, it sells normally to the highest bidder!

oh!! so if i put a design up for auction that i really like,
and i feel that the highest bid doesnt amount to the value of the design imo,
i could keep it if bid reserves are in effect?

Alkemistry In reply to earthcult [2015-11-02 23:55:34 +0000 UTC]
yep! that's basically how it works. It allows the artist the option of keeping the design for whatever reason, while also letting people know that there's the option that it will be kept.

I feel uncomfortable publicly sharing bid reserve estimates for a reason - it's not an exact number and is more a ballpark range, as it's based on helping me pay for a vet bill among other necessities, I'm sorry! ;; I will let you know if the reserve has been met, however!

This might not hit the reserve (and my payment plan might not be acceptable) but in case it works out I raise my bid to 400
Either way thank you for the opportunity!
