Atramenta's Bulletins
https://toyhou.se/18209408.adopt-pink-matrix-f2e
This character, previously an OTA adopt made for the launch, is now a F2E raffle! Simply follow the instructions on the profile to enter!
Welcome to a 24hr flash sale!
An infinite amount of slots are available to buy, so don't worry if you come in late! However, the form will only be open for (around) 24 hours.
Each person is limited to buying 2 slots maximum. However, if you would like to buy your slot as a gift, put the recipient's toyhouse username in the notes/comments section at the bottom of the form.
We've got T1, T2, and T3 slots up for grabs! No trait upgrades, but you can get those for free (and a little bit of artwork) with species currency!
TOS is included in the form. Please be sure to read them carefully.
Note that these slots, and all sales moving forward, are full price. The ones in the launch sale were half price.
You hear a dripping... A small sound that gets only louder as something approaches you. But... there's no one around!
The sheen of metal in a reflection. The dark sea of black hair.
"Marceau~! How dreadful to see you, here. You know, we really have to stop meeting like this! People will talk!"
"You're digging your own grave. Put the gun down and hear me out... For once."
For the months of November and December, we here at Atramenta incorporated (actually just me. sorry) are here to provide you, the community, with some lore and events!
As per usual, due to the nature of the 2-month long events, there will be a flash event in December! Look forward to it~!
The theme for this month is the Hunt. This will be reflected in the prompts, the adopts, and in the NPCs I'll be introducing through the month!
LORE BELOW.
If you want to opt out, that's fine! I've put it behind a spoiler for you.
"Hmm, what a weird group of people we have here. Half of you look like you stepped straight out of the Dark Ages, and the other half look like you picked them up off the side of the road. The hell kind of crowd is this?"
Enter: the Venator Cruor!
The Venator Cruor, or simply Cruor if you don’t have much time, are a group of mostly unaffiliated “blood hunting” groups made up almost entirely of human/oids. The Atramenta tend only to fear the Cruor, though some particularly weak or suppressed individuals have been known to join its ranks in one way or other.
Two of the largest groups under the Venator Cruor umbrella are the Sanguine Abactor and a group simply known as Deadeye, which are known to be in a bitter rivalry with one another. Interestingly, the leader of the Sanguine Abactor - Marceau Toussaint - is an Atramentum themselves, using their nigh-immortality to lead the group eternally. The Abactor are known to be a bloodthirsty group with a strict dress code, making them easy to spot (and run away from!).
The Deadeye are extremely elusive, with none of the theatrics of the Sanguine Abactor. They are mostly disconnected in terms of missions, but each member is provided two identifying items - a golden revolver and sherrif’s badge, styled depending on rank and skill. Some in the group take things a step further, donning full cowboy gear… One such individual, codenamed Eagle Feather (supposedly), is currently locked in an intense rivalry with Marceau… and they both take it very seriously.
Anyone can join the Cruor. These are not the only two groups among them, either! There are as many as could be imagined... though they probably aren't all in one place. The Earth is huge~! The Cruor could be lurking around any corner.
"Blood... what an interesting thing. How could such a meaningless liquid cause these people to go so far? Cause me to go so far? Wars could be fought over this blood. Countries could be birthed. Economies could be crumbled. I must take these things into my own hands. Though the blood of them is the same as mine, I feel no kinship toward them. I am I, they are them. The demons of this world must be quelled so that the holy may flourish."
Marceau is... a strange person. Though they are an Atramentum, they seem to only hold loathing for the Atramenta. They speak of holy fire and retribution, and hunt the blood of some of the most powerful Atramenta there are.
Their ink magic is publically unknown.
"You think I actually want this blood for myself? Nah, I just want the cash. Money makes the world go 'round, yeah? I couldn't care less about what the damn blood does. If it gets someone killed, not my problem anymore."
'Eagle Feather' is another odd one. His name isn't actually that, and there's no real record that he was ever officially codenamed Eagle Feather. Personally, I think he's just gotten way too into the roleplay.
He has a lot of respect for Marceau. They were able to gather a whole group of people under a shared goal, and he thinks that's commendable. In truth, he wishes he could be friends with Marceau... but don't tell anyone! That's top secret!
His real name is publically unknown.
PROMPTS
The Hunt is on!
For the November-December period, the prompt is Hunt! Any way you want to interpret this is valid, so long as it relates back to that one word.
However, I would like to encourage people to interact with the lore above! Whether it's by making an NPC for the Cruor, describing an encounter with a member of the Cruor, or anything else - but once again, you don't have to.
All art submissions must have "reasonable effort" put in. Not all art is created equal, but I would love to see you put your heart in! This means (roughly) the effort of a clean sketch and flat colours. What that means to you can be interpreted!
All writing submissions must be at least 500 words long, and have reasonable paragraph breaks so I can read it! (I have issues with unbroken text. ah)
I look forward to seeing everyone's work!
CALENDAR
Every weekend this month we'll have a GA adopt, done by the wonderful GAs that I've collected. Their adopts look wonderful so far, I'm excited to show you all!
On Tuesday the 8th of November there will be a 24 hour MYO slot sale. The slots sold will be of unlimited number, and up to T3 in rarity.
In December, we'll be having a flash event! More details will come out closer to the date, so look out for it!
That's all from me~! Happy Holidays (in advance)!
did you know matrix is a synonym for origin? well, apparently it is

You walk through an ornate wooden door, somewhat hidden away among the dark alleys of the subterranean metropolis. The handles glisten in a well-kept gold, and a faint violet light shines from within the building...
Rows of artists' supplies line the shop's shelves, everything from spare pencil lead to large, stretched canvases. A couple of old, used scraps of paper pile high on a desk in the centre of the room, behind which an Atramentum sits. You know this to be Valentina... strange, I thought her family was one of the prissy types...
"Oh, a customer! Anything take your fancy? Always good to have something handy for the road~!"
