May 2024 Prompt: Pop Culture

5/1/24 - 7/1/24 11:59pm ET

Has your Edeia starred in a movie or have they been featured in a magazine? Do they have a celebrity presence, in person or online? Do they produce content for entertainment independently or do work for agencies, and - as beings without physical needs - do they do so without pay, or do they seek non-monetary benefits? Do they maintain their fame or only occasionally appear on a whim? 

Many Edeia are private individuals, but some may participate in "pop culture" - entertainment, news, fashion, and more. 

You are welcome and encouraged to create fictional movies, magazines, agencies, etc.; this may be better than using something that exists in our modern world, especially considering that the "present" of this world is 100 years in the future.

Art Prompt 1:
Create artwork featuring your Edeia on a magazine cover, movie poster, fashion photoshoot, or other similar media. 

The background can be simplified to something like a gradient; some text is required, along with a brief blurb explaining the context. 

Art Prompt 2:
Create artwork of your Edeia engaging in some activity related to pop culture, e.g. shooting a movie scene, posing for a fashion photo, interacting with fans, attending a fancy party, etc.  

Writing Prompt:
Write about your Edeia engaging in some activity related to pop culture.

Morph, Edeia of Gender Euphoria, featured on a (fictional) magazine called Euphoria, which reports on featuring genders, ways of gender expression, and providing resources for finding one's gender. Morph does not manage the magazine, but they provide much support to it. 

May 2023 Prompt: Turning Point

5/6/23 - 6/6/23 11:59pm ET

At that moment, observing him at the brink of death, I descended. I called upon some strange power welling up within me, a power I did not fully understand. I asked him, "Are you satisfied dying here?" I asked him, "Would you fight against death if you could gain the strength to help others again?" He said, "Yes. Yes, if I could." And at that moment, something seemed to fall into place for me. I will help him, I thought. I will help him sacrifice all he is to better the world. 

— Selva, previous form of Ascetic 

The road to becoming an Edeia is not a simple one. There are events in their lives that shape them into who they are - turning points that are a defining moment for their identity. What is a significant moment in your Edeia's previous life? 

Design Prompt:
Design your Edeia's previous form. It can be with or without the changes in appearance from their Idea magic. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork illustrating a significant moment in your Edeia's life, in their previous form. Was it a milestone in their personal journey? Was it their Actualization itself?  

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene illustrating a significant moment in your Edeia's life, in their previous form.   

May 2022 Prompt: Unity

5/1/22 - 5/31/22 11:59pm ET

The identity of an Edeia is the core of its being, yet from the very beginning, they could join with another to become a part of a new being.

Design Prompt:
Design a fusion. If it is between your own characters, at least one component must be an Edeia. For a fusion with another owner, it must involve Edeia from both of you. 

If you are collaborating on the design, it will count for both of you, but you must complete additional requirements: 

Art Prompt:
You have two options. 

1. Draw artwork of a fusion illustrating some of their character - doing something they like, being somewhere they like, etc. The minimum requirements are as follows, though you are welcome to do more:

2. Make an animation of your Edeia fusing. Minimum requirements: 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene involving your Edeia fusion. Perhaps they fuse for the first time, or perhaps they do some activity they usually do. Perhaps they fuse and unfuse and then discuss the experience with others. You may also write about fission fragments, so long as the fragments themselves are focused on. 

May 2021 Prompt: Mermay

5/20/21 - 6/20/21 5pm PT

Draw your Edeia as a mer creature, i.e. a cross between an aquatic creature and their original (or alternate) form.  The aquatic features do not need to represent a real animal, but can be inspired by any aquatic animal. 

Note: as Edeia can shapeshift, this can be a form they choose to take at any point, or you can just draw it for fun.

Design Requirements:
Design your Edeia as a mer creature, i.e. a cross between an aquatic creature and their original (or alternate) form.  The aquatic features do not need to represent a real animal, but can be inspired by any aquatic animal. 

Art Requirements:
Create an art piece of your Edeia as a mer creature, i.e. a cross between an aquatic creature and their original (or alternate) form.  The aquatic features do not need to represent a real animal, but can be inspired by any aquatic animal. 

Writing Requirements:
Write a scene or narrative synopsis involving your Edeia being shapeshifted into their mer form.
