Goddess!AU: Divine Markings

EDIT: ADDED 6 MORE CHARACTERS!!! :3

-------

Jeez, I barely get any time to myself anymore, but that’s okay. I’m really enjoying school, and I feel like I’m getting better at art, so badabing! :3

ANYWAY. I received a question a while ago asking about the marknings the Divine have in the Goddess!AU, so I thought it’d be cool if I drew headshots to showcase some of them. :3 This is part 1 of a few, so be prepared for more in the future. In the meantime, here are the first batch of Gods/Demigods in the AU!

Every Divine, half-blooded or no, are born with these permanent markings on their bodies. Each god’s markings are unique to them and there isn’t any other quite like them. When the Divine is actively using magic, their markings glow, their brightness depending on the level of power is put into the magic. The markings also act as visual signs of emotion change. When angered, afraid, or in the throws of pleasure, the markings glow again, their brightness once again depending on just how intense the feeling is.

Spike is the only one here who isn't a demigod or a god at all, but he's a special special case. Here’s why:

Spike entered a Blood Pact with Twilight (blood pact is when one of divine blood shares their blood with one of mortal blood. In result the mortal gains magical power and abilities in return for their servitude to the divine-blooded one in question), which Twilight did to save little Spike when she found him dying of blood loss. She gave him the chance to back out of it since it wasn’t necessarily with his consent (it was to save his life, sure, but the point still stands), but he chose to remain within the Blood fact and as such is forever bonded with Twi until the day they die, or when he decides to revoke the contract.

Entering a Blood Pact with a Divine effects a mortal in that it gives them some of the markings of the Divine they’re entering the pact with, however theirs will be very faint (in most cases, the mark doesn’t show unless they invoke the Blood Pact’s contract). As far as Spike’s go, the Blood Pact allows him the ability to shift from his normal child body into the full-grown form of an adult dragon. I’d write more but I have class in like 5 minutes, so just let me know if you have any questions. Other than that, I hope you like the additional Divine!
