A Piltover Character This Time.

This is my main Runeterra OC. And I shamelessly ship her with Viktor. No one can stop me. I’m in too deep.

I’m…*invested* in them.

Her name is Miraig. She’s an Ionian-born spirit mage who fled to Piltover as a refugee when she was very young. Obviously, having nothing, her family landed in Zaun instead. She used her magic to become a horticulturalist in the Undercity, but leveraged her creative skills in becoming a Data Visualization Specialist by lending a fetching art nouveau flair to the charts she’d create. Even when this skill curried enough favor topside, she was often treated as a cute novelty and more of a “pet” to those who employed her. Being treated like a person once she landed in the Hextech labs was a refreshing change of pace.

These are her “Arcane” designs. Specifically s1 act 2 & 3 and s2 act 3 epilogue.

Rest assured she has some “League” stuff, even though it’ll probably be reworked alongside Viktor.

I’m gonna miss the old version, not gonna lie. I started headcanoning him as The Shredder, but with extra steps and now he’s being Thanos-snapped.

Oh well. I’ll still be a raging Viktor Apologist so that’s what counts I guess.

My FFXIV character, Eyma Ronde.

This poor girl has been inactive since I finished “Endwalker”, bless her. 😔

Cameo portrait of Neeko with Ethiopian Opal and Passion Flower. I was playing her a lot in LoL at the time, ha ha.

If I had a nickel for every biblically-adjacent mechanical savior I attached myself to in fiction, I’d have two nickels. This is the first. KOS-MOS was a light of hope in the darkest time of my life and I couldn’t be here without the inspiration she gave me. I gave her Precious Opal and Hepatica. If you know, you know.

Another painted portrait of Miraig.

Vito.

Oh, what to say about Vito.

Vito is a scummy little man from the Undercity who’s quite adept at fixing a variety deals and somehow managing to keep it quiet that he’s the one that benefits the most from every arrangement he orchestrates. Sure, he may have lost a few toes to someone who grew wise, but by Zaun standards that may as well be a badge of honor indicating how slippery this bastard really is.

Those most well-acquainted with him know that his specialty isn’t scheming or intel - it’s his mastery of manipulation. He never quite lies, but carefully weaves clever half-truths that convince nearly everyone that he’s one of the “better” denizens of the Undercity. He’s skillfully lulled most of the people around him into believing that he is no threat to them - simply a means to an end. And that is a mistake on their part.

He’s no master of combat, but Vito does practice concealed carrying. His cane was built to double as a firearm, and underneath the brim of his hat, an array of throwing knives is nestled, waiting to be chosen by his hand.

This man is one of Miraig’s most staunch Undercity associates. A poor decision? Most likely. But if Vito were to give you an honest answer, he would admit he has a soft spot for her, as do his children. Too bad no one will ever know when it is he’s not turning lying into an unparalleled artform. On Miraig’s side, she does have some sort of twisted faith in him, however misplaced that may be. Luckily, even Vito has some measure of standards for himself, having openly admitted once that he may be a bastard, but would have drawn the line at selling out folks like Vander or Benzo to the likes of Silco.

The bar may be in Hell, but at least it exists.

Old canon Elined after Miraig and Viktor didn’t do the one thing she asked (( look out for each other )).

A high-effort shitpost. It’s just a screencap redraw from “The Road to El Dorado”—

One thing I noticed about MHA is that no one talks about what Mic must be going through.

Including him.

Repressing those feelings can’t be healthy…

Ibis headshots, during- and post-“Arcane”.

I kind of really love them.
