my personal take on #OMElites Crowvaritia is that its capital is a display of neon cityscape. the city doesnt sleep at night, so they cover their infastructure with neon sign and have a festival-like vibe and energy that lasts until the morning (6-2-6 heh) +
the closer you are to the center, the brighter and more chaotic it is. there are a few shrines for the deities and they also adhere to the capital's night look, but most of these shrines are found on the outer region of the kingdom.
the locals worship their deities. they have authority on certain matters, but the prince stands as an equal with them (they both stand on a mediated peace, but there are times where this is challenged). as such, people still have to pay respects on a deity's domain.
Hyakki Yagyo (the night parade of hundred demons) occurs every 18:00, where the streets are filled with yokai for 5 minutes. it is advised not go outside until it is over if you lack protection or strong mental fortitude, or else you will be spirited away by the parade. +
over time, the capital city uses this event as the mark of the city coming to life (as there are also lots of yokai in there, as customers, dwellers, or even employers).
crowvaritia locals experience this phenomenon of having gold scars after their injuries heal. because of this, the people were influenced into repairing infastructure and daily objects with gold (though as time goes by this becomes a luxury). +
there is no definite explanation for this phenomenon, although many believe that this is a blessing from the prince, a manifestation of his desire to let his people know that they should celebrate their imperfections.
but until now, mammon says no confirmation for this.
There is a saying "descend and run amok to your heart's content" which explains the architecture behind arenas built underground. the bigger the arena is, the more dangerous the stakes are thrown. +
it ranges from money, favors, property, and in some cases body parts or living entity (old habits die hard, yokai or human). the most formal battle u can get on crowvaritia is a referee & betting pools frm the audience. aside from that, its noise is similar to a frenzied cockpit.
you can see the prince everywhere and no where at once. Mammon doesnt stay at one place, and while he likes the capital, he has more than three residences scattered throughout the kingdom. it seems that only his flagbearer and prefects can only get a hold of him.
anyone who wishes to meet will have to wait for quite some time. unless, the prince decides to see you. like they say, "you will meet the crow prince, if he wants to."
#OMElites short thread about how its better to confirm a rumor on your own than ask Mammon about it, or that’s what Ume learned the last she was on Crowvaritia.
it was a mistake to spill the beans to the prince about what she found out, that his prefect has a child and she left them alone at that atrocious kingdom.
the prefect even confirmed this, laughing and asking her if she would like to know who is the father of her “little apple”.
“this is a mistake” Ume thinks as she watches the prince announce himself with a bang of the door of the office.
“Kisa! why didn’t you tell me you were already married?! This is unacceptable! they need to meet their uncle!”
my personal take on #OMElites Serpenvidia is that the capital is enclosed on a giant bubble (just like OP's fishman island). its situated on the deep part of the ocean but has large pockets that cater drylands , a reason for the people to develop appendages that adapt to both +
environment (so either fins or tail to faster movement at the water and legs for walking). i also hc that their outifts are designed to be convertible when they become merpeople or humans for convenience. (just like in fishes, the colors are important too!)
theres a bridge that acts as an entrance/exit to the capital since the ocean is vast and it would be reasonable to be governed by multiple leaders that answers to the prince himself. these places each have a platform that connects to the surface when the people need go outside +
#omelites where a certain Iraflora joins crowvaritia's underground fightclub to fight the demon and win a favor.
property gets destroyed. a deal is done. someone gets interested with the other (happens in any order).
it all starts with a nameplate. wooden and foreign to the feeling, engraved with characters she doesnt understand. it fits right into her palm that she can snap it if she wants to. but this belongs to a familiar face, one she saw during a visit to the crowned prince’s grounds.
ume can barely call it a familiar face. she saw her twice inside diavolo’s mansion, at the hallway with a prince and minutes ago after they went through a portal to which she assumed leads to their home.
#omelites : i made ume at sept ‘20 so i got the gist of what i want on her as an om! character: a loanshark’s collector who well timed to be possessed by ifrit or a hell elemental (like less sentient and more essence of hell)
im not elaborating this but yeah its supposed to be a love 🔺
when i saw #omelites last year i already had an idea “ohh yeah ume would be on the wrath house” now it even compels me to do so. like Iraflora is particular with their prim image and being graceful without showing cracks and ume does the opposite of that. like all of it.
