Gorgon Parents
For my upcoming Resbang, I finally finished the design for my version of the Gorgon parents! Posting them as a little promo~ While I stan fankids, I also love the reverse way, aka designing parents for a character! Death’s dad is the next on the way~
Generally, against some theories I do NOT believe the Gorgon sisters are half sisters despite their very different colors and apperance. They all have the same 2 parents, it is just that Shaula and Arachne took more after their mother, while Medusa took more after their father.
That is why I tried to make the parents’ animal themes fit that of their daughters. Considering the Gorgon sisters’ mother role complex, I am pretty positive their parents haven’t been the best with them…
Myria Chilo Gorgon, a centipede witch. The HUGE venomous centipedes with a very painful bite. Originally she was “Morrighan Gorgon”, but I thought a crow theme would be unfitting due her daughters’ themes. What insect is long like a snake? A centipede.
She is a very aristocratic woman, looking down on others, especially humans. The Gorgon family comes from a powerful blood line that dates all the way back at the start of humanity, what Myria takes great pride in.
Her magic is based on mental manipulation, mind control and poison. So like Arachne’s and Shaula’s. She can also split herself up into multiple big centipedes. Myria is very tall and curvy.
Varamo Gorgon, a Komodo Dragon themed sorcerer. I chose that theme as komodo’s are largest reptiles aside snakes to use toxin. As Medusa looks so different from her sisters, I decided she simply came more after him.
Varamo comes from a powerful linage of lizard themed witches/sorcerers, which were however not known as known as the Gorgon family. Like his daughter, he is calm and collected all the time and is very ruthless to get what he wants.
The magic is fully offensive (he WILL make use of his sharp teeth and claws) and makes usage of powerful poison that he transfers onto his magic komodos or his own teeth. To make up for his missing lower right arm, Varamo can make himself a magic “prosthesis”. Like Medusa and Shaula, Varamo’s poison can kill an infected victim normally, when he wants, or just to turn them into a mindless slave.
