Bold Escape
In the early days, as Volpes and Azurium were establishing their operations, it was important to build up a reputation by pulling off bold, daring acts of rebellion against Oplentian authority. Azurium still had to work to maintain his cover as captain of the guard,...
Edmund, Eye of the Storm
This card was illustrated by Rerepop back in October of 2022. I saw a YCH from them and thought it would be the perfect art for an Edmund card. Unfortunately, I think it is my least favorite among all of the card designs I've ever shared...
Shock and Claw
This piece from Wolfgangcake back in October of 2022 is a crossover between my Edmund and a Ferris, a werewolf character owned by a friend of mine, ig88_0x. We collaborated to write twin stories telling the tale from our respective characters' perspectives. My half of...
Rabrandt, Sage of Etheirys
That artwork by Seiryuuden was commissioned for the express purpose of being on this card, representing my character as a Sage from Final Fantasy XIV. In game, Sage's a healers that primarily make use of shields to protect allies as the busy themselves mending wounds. At...

Not every job an adventurer can take requires a brute capable of dealing out or taking punishment, or a magician who can pelt their foes from a distance. Some require heroes of another type, who can deliver succor to the sick and wounded. And after his...

Rabrandt, the Reaper // Rabrandt, the Shrouded
About one year into Endwalker's release cycle, I had played enough Reaper to get a stronger idea of how it feels. With that in mind, since I now had art from LittleBadWolf of my character both as a normal and enshrouded Reaper, it felt appropriate...
Shrouded Justice
As a Reaper, Rabrandt fights alongside a demonic entry from another world, a voidsent. Their covenant empowers him beyond his normal capabilities in exchange for a portion of both his own aether and aether from the enemies he fights. For them, it is an equitable...
The True Criminal
This piece from LittleBadWolf in September of 2022 was the perfect compliment to a story I had been mulling over in my head. I wanted to show a more ruthless side to Volpes, to remind the audience that was an antagonistic and villainous force. The...
Volpes, the Revolutionary
While I'm happy with the design I originally came up with for Volpes's debut card, I had a problem with both the mechanical complexity and verbosity of it's text, and my playgroup had a problem playing against it. I wanted to solve both problems by...
