Why Sniper And Spy Despise One Another

Why Sniper and Spy Despise One Another

The relationship between Sniper and Spy is a well-crafted one. Both are assassins who fulfil the same role and pride themselves on professionalism. It's their definition of "professional" where they diverge.

To Sniper, professionalism is defined by detachment and efficiency. Taking a life is serious business, and so the job is prioritized above everything, including basic hygiene and bathroom breaks. "Snipers don't muck about... we just take the shot."

To Spy, professionalism is defined by dignity and artistry. Taking a life is serious business, and so it must be handled with grace, even when fighting lunatics in the middle of a desert. "Six unstabbed backs... I do love a blank canvas!"

Sniper considers Spy unprofessional and cowardly due to his pompous demeanour and underhanded tactics. To find artistry in murder is psychopathic, to engage in trickery, dishonourable. Spy is an arrogant snake that gives proper assassins like Sniper a bad name. "Ya bloody backstabbing fraud!"

Spy considers Sniper unprofessional and cowardly due to his oafish demeanour and impersonal tactics. To murder without feeling is psychopathic, to attack only from a distance, dishonourable. Sniper is a tactless brute that gives proper assassins like Spy a bad name. "You disgust me, filthy jar man!"

It is done (enough)!

I would hype it up more but this is really really simple. It randomly generates a set of symbols, colors, and a word, and then the expected thing to do with those is you draw some sort of character based off the result you get. So it's just an art challenge toy thingy.

There are also some practical features like you can lock parts of the result in place to rerandomize the rest, or hide parts of the generation you don't care about (like if you want to pick your own colors or hate the words being there)

You can try it out over on itch.io!

It should run in browser, but there's also a downloadable version for Windows if you want to use it offline. (No mac/linux versions for now, because I don't have appropriate computers to test those on and I...don't want to deal with mac's developer accounts or whatever their problem is...)

Here's something I made from one of the results I got for the sake of example:

(It's a bit of a rushed drawing sorry I just wanted to get the actual generator out there)

I hope everyone has fun with it :]

I’m falling back into my mlp obsession— help me 💀

Main text reads:

- The tallest of Equestria’s pony races, Earth Pony’s are a proud folk with sturdy legs, thick necks, and classic horse-like ears.

- Earth Ponies most commonly wear their names + tails up and/or short, with long, loose hair typically reserved for foals and the elderly. - Leg wraps are worn by all the pony races, meant to protect from placing too much stress on delicate tendons/ligaments during strenuous activity. However, Earth Ponies are the only race who wear them for commonplace reasons, like decoration, as well. (Editors note: basically, earth ponies wear them as a fashion statement or while their out and about. Kind of like wearing a hat)

- While technically magicless, Earth Ponies are deeply connected to the earth. Most Earth Ponies are able to sense sick, or unhealthy, natural areas on sim level.

- Similarly, Earth Ponies are the most intuitive Pony-Race, the majority possessing an incredibly well developed ‘sixth sense’. As a result, Earth Ponies are typically the most attuned to dangerous situations, emotions, and nature. - It’s important to note that ‘Pinkie Sense’ is an abnormally strong variation of this sixth sense, and as thus is almost entirely unheard of. While the reasons for the development of such a strong sense is unknown, it could be indicative of a powerful magical lineage.
