Description
As the title says.Apsu has been said by some scholars to be the figurative granddaddy of the Christian Satan. He was only named as a deity in the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation epic, but sits beside Tiamat as one of the progenitors of gods in most Mesopotamian mythologies. See Abyzou for some very interesting tidbits of information~
I'm still working out how my head-canon regarding all this goes, but so far I've got a few ideas.
...I should draw Tiamat too...

Are you taking Religious study classes at college too or do you spend rediculously long hours on wikipedia?? XD some of the ideas and the things you find amaze me, and seem like they come out of text books. I'm going about trying to add Norse demons/gods and Homunculi and even then, my info is limited. Your dedication makes your fellow fiction writers envious, you know lmao. But it's inspiring all the same XD
This is a lovely picture of Suguro~! Love the outfit and the idea behind it. I'd like to see one of him all possessed and movin' in on Katsumi >w< And I really like his horns.... I'm not sure why, but those and his ears and tail are just staring me in the face like 'Praise our shiny blue genius, mortal' and I am succumbing to their will @.@ And Yes, Yes! Draw Tiamat!! I wanna see how he turns out too~! This is all so exciting~!

XDD Nahhh, I wouldn't have time to! It's Japanese all day every day I just get my info from loooooooooong wiki walks and other research materials 8D Research is too much fun, especially when religion is involved because there's just soooo much religion out there!
And thank you very much! *3* I had a lot of fun with those horns, believe you me~ They were sorta based on leafy sea dragons cuz the water link made sense at the time

Haha, I'll have to agree with you there. I have a bit of an interest in religion too, the only problem is I probably should focus more on my own >.>' on the other hand, I know more than a lot of people my age, so I guess that's acceptable lol. Religion is really cool~
Haha, I love dragons with horns~ Idk what purpose they are meant to serve, but they make excellent decor lmao. It's weird though, seeing it sometimes. I'm not used to it lol. I'm a Skyrim addict, so these days that's all the dragon's I really get to see haha.

Thank you! ♥ XD I can remember making up some story about Tiamat and Apsu waaaaaay back in primary school... can't think what I saw them in, but they've kinda been a fascination point for me ever since.

I think the whole Mediterranean area has great mythology before the Christianism period, all so captivating and so well developed

Nice story, so far. I've haven't read your "Forty Days" yet, but I think I'll go ahead and do it now.
By the way, Ryuji-chan looks awesome!

XD Thank you! I have no doubt that it will continue to grow and warp in my mind despite the fact that I really shouldn't let it
Ooh, when you do, can you tell me what you think of it? It's my first AnE fic, and I'm nervous about how in-character they all are...

Ooooh this is awesome as hell! I love the idea of Elder Gods and a third world, you could get so much out of something like that! epic story just waiting to happen! Bon looks so badass as a demon. Damn yeah, sexy forest camp boots!! <33

Kemmasandi In reply to Enjoumou [2012-05-28 02:32:12 +0000 UTC]
Thank youuuuu very much! To be honest that third world was a spur-of-the-moment decision- Gehenna and Assiah come from Hebrew scriptures, so I went and looked up if there were any other worlds, which happily there were~
Oh, it'll happen- after Forty Days is finished 8D
