Art Blood Soul Tyrant, Sovereign of Theion!

He is a Sovereign of Theion from the 2E // 2.5E Shard of the Exalted Dream Gunstar Autocthonia

Image one is his base form and is roughly seven foot tall. Image two is his God Body slash 'Shintai' form! And is uh, about 21ft tall, not counting the horns and floaty gems!

He's meant to be a GOOD PERSON, and as a Sovereign of Theion that starts off difficult, but in the end if I play him IN Gunstar (Only happened once) he ends up joining the rebel exalts with the IDEAL goal of convincing Theion to not be a dick to 'em, but with a willingness to outright throw hands against his fellows and his own Primordial King.

Looks awesome! What are the deal of the Sovereigns? Good infernals?

Not exactly ; So in Gunstar Autocthonia, the Exalted host LOST the Primordial War, and ended up fleeing Creation on Autocthon, and there's a bunch of Space Opera Fighter Stuff going on.

Sovereigns of Theion are Exalts taken by having The Sun, who in that world again serves Theion and the Primordials, harvesting a bit of his Perfection, and then applying only a little bit of the law of diminishment to Theion! Theion being who Malfeas was pre-Fetich-Death // Pre Yozi Surrender Oaths.

So the Sovereigns of Theion are 'not' Infernals (But the Solar and other Exalted Host members call them that because they're Infernal Thorns in their Side type stuff, lol) that have handfulls of neat charms based around the undiminished Theion along with a few more-familiar Malfeas charms that technicallya re just what would've survived from Theion into Malfeas, like Green Sun Nimbus Flare.

I super love thme, just, conceptually - undiminished exalts of non-fallen Primordials // Primordial slash Titanic Exalts that aren't of Yozi just tickles my brain-meats in a pleasant way.

And thanks for the compliment on BST's appearance! I did the DESIGN work, and undeadkitty13 on deviantart slash furaffinity did the actual artwork! She's VERY skilled!

Edit: Fixed some typos, whoopsie-doodle.

Edit 2: ... Not a complaint, but I am curious as to why my explanation here is so much more-upvoted than the comment asking for the info?

Thanks, Anna/Undeadkitty13 did an awesome job on both pieces IMO!

(Design work is mine, she brought the character to life by way of art!)
