Exploration Of Myrens Crest.

Exploration of Myren’s crest.

The glowing spots on each side of his body are not eyes.

Euryphon is infested with an anatomy that connects to different versions of himself through the liquid singularity that is the hyperspatial multiverse (Orthroheim). Through smooth processes from one point to another, his anatomy changes in specific ways. Despite this he is not a free shapeshifter - his dislodged position within hyperspace only extends so far in different hyperdimensions and extradirections.

Stress, most commonly fearful emotions, can trigger uncontrolled transformations while some aspects (like this throat worm) is fully controllable at all times. When the worm is out, Euryphon’s perceptive consciousness changes location from his average human head to the worm head. He doesn’t enjoy it, it’s a process that unsettles him deeply, but it is quite handy for when he needs to reach some place high up. Despite the grotesque sight, for Euryphon the process is painless.

The Man. I have drawn him four times in a row at the time of posting. I’ve now got the basics for body shape down and whatnot.

I will fiddle with some of the closer details.

Abyssal Disco Elysium Skills

Unique skills I’m devving for Abyssal Harry. Underneath the cut.

Part observational stuff from the game, part glitches and bugs, and part raw Abyssal fanfiction. Skill color is emerald green.

NEUROHAZARD

“Pull cursed knowledge from the elsewhere. Manipulate facts.”

Neurohazard is the ability to unconsciously keep your strangeness hidden from the fragile minds of regular people, and speak of strangeness in order to do mental damage. Abnormal manipulation of facts will allow you to force feed harmful information to people’s brains, forcing them to accept it as truth.

At too low levels, you will not be able to hide in plain sight. You will be unable to cause mental damage. You will not be able to tell interesting stories. At too high levels, people will barely notice you. Even the slightest whisper into their ears will stand the high risk of frying their neurons beyond repair.

COOL FOR - KILLJOYS, SNAKETONGUES, STORYTELLERS, SONG-SINGERS, BRAIN BOMBERS

METAMORPHOLOGY

“Be frighteningly different. Be unbothered by human weakness.”

Metamorphology is the ability to phase through matter (sometimes), be unaffected and completely immune to hunger and fatigue, and is the reason for your strange physical appearance. The less of a true human experience you have, the less human you will appear anatomically. Unique internal neural structures lets you channel strange physical powers.

At too low levels, you will appear normal but also become victim to hunger and fatigue. You will need to eat, drink, and won’t be able to run everywhere. At too high levels, your physical form starts to become liquid and subject to the whims of your will and emotional state. Keeping a human shape will be difficult.

COOL FOR - WEREWOLVES, FREAK CIRCUS MEMBERS, MONSTERS, PARTY-TRICKSTERS, ENEMIES OF THE PHYSICAL REALM

RADIANT SPREAD

“Love thy followers, keep them standing. Grant power to those worthy.”

Radiant Spread is the ability to share your strange power with the people around you. For short moments they will appear to be somewhat like you, for whatever reason is deemed fit. Your future partners will become most affected, as sharing is caring, and you need to care for your partners. Partners may be able to phase through matter and use light telekinesis.

At too low levels, you will be forced to let the people around you fend for themselves. You will not be able to help them. At too high levels, the people around you will have their essences become so bloated with anomalous power that interaction will become difficult.

COOL FOR - THERAPISTS, INFECTIOUS MEN, INVASIVE SPECIES, PEOPLE-LOVERS, FANBOYS OF HUMANITY

DIVINATION

“Close your eyes to the here-and-now. Pathfind and see the future.”

Divination is the ability to see the future within your dreams, and sometimes in waking life as well. It will allow you to prepare accordingly for possible future dangers and tests of skill, as well as let you find your way around places where you have never been before. If you cannot find a way to a specific place, then people will know to look for a different way in.

At too low levels, you will be blind to the future and purely shackled to the present. You will have no time to prepare for anything. At too high levels, your waking life will be intruded upon with visions from the future. You will be infinitely ready for what’s ahead, but you can’t see what’s in front of you.

COOL FOR - INSOMNIACS, WORRYBUGS, PSYCHICS, PREPARATION FREAKS, PATHFINDERS

SPACE-TIME POCKET

“Slip between the laws of space and time. Teleport and timetravel.”

Space-Time Pocket is the ability to create mementos, usage of hammerspatial pockets, as well as utilizing the physical slipstreams between specific points in Martinaise. Time and space, for you and your partners, will simply be a suggestion rather than a rule of existence. Store whatever you find out of sight and out of mind, no backpack needed.

At too low levels, you will need to get to places on your own. Whatever mistakes you make will be yours to keep, eternally. At too high levels, the concept of a linear timeline will become difficult to comprehend. You won’t truly know if you’ve done a specific thing or not. You’ll constantly wonder what day it is.

COOL FOR - TIMETRAVELLERS, IMPATIENT PEOPLE, HOARDERS, VAGABONDS, HUMAN CLOSETS

FESTER

“Feast upon experiences. Grow stronger from each word and step.”

Fester is the ability to truly grow from the experiences that life has to offer. It will allow you to harvest mental, physical, emotional, paranormal, and instinctual power from getting out there into the world and immersing yourself within it. Interacting with people, doing activities, and simply observing what’s around you will help you grow.

At too low levels, you will not feel the need to do anything. You will not be able to grow from what you do. You will be a true boring void. At too high levels, you will harvest too much and too fast that your power will outgrow what you are.

COOL FOR - SOCIALITES, EXTROVERTS, MARVELERS OF THE WORLD, SNITCHES, PESTS

A small guide to basic hostal designations in abyss-speak

In my tag “Abyssal Fanart”, I utilize terms in abyss-speak, which is a lingo I developed in early 2019 for myself in order to increase my enjoyment of fictional media as well as make it easier for me to create spooky fanart. Basic introduction.

Foreword; A “host” or “hostal manifestation” is essentially the abyss-speak term for a protagonist that is being focused on or played as. There can be multiple hosts in specific stories. Autonomo - You’re basically the stalker. (Example: almost all movies) Synchro - You’re the royal advisor everyone listens to, but have no grand say over overall personality and meat. (Example: Yakuza games) Silent - You’ve successfully infiltrated a place and the only way to screw it up is with speech. (Example: Half-Life games, except Half-Life: Alyx) Vaguetuned - You’re either the person who decides the meat and the clothes but not the personality, or you fill in for personality in pre-existing meat with pre-exiting clothes. (Example: Disco Elysium, Sunset Overdrive) Finetuned - You’ve created a meatsuit for yourself to pilot. You decide the meat, the clothes, and the personality. (Example: Dark Souls games, No Man’s Sky, Stardew Valley)

May or may not post more abyss-speak definitions in the future, we’ll see!
