OMG UI........... I SEE UI I REBLOG !!!! ALSO VERY VERY PRETTY DESIGN FOR WIND!!!!
If you’d like an idea for Chasing Wind in Eclipse, I’d recommend Saturn or Jupiter!
As gas giants with lots of windy storms on their surface, so I think they’d tie in well with Chasing Wind’s themes. Plus, they’re a little more distant from the Earth, Sun, and Moon, kinda like how Chasing Wind is pretty distant from the drama going on between the three XD
For Saturn, you could do some fun stuff with the iconic rings, while Jupiter could give you an iterator to rival the size of Annular Suns (given Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system), and you could also incorporate Jupiter’s Great Red Spot or it’s many moons into the design.
Just some ideas ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ awesome au and art by the way!!! Love keeping up with your stuff teehee :3
AHH! Saturn or Jupiter you say?
Let’s see… let’s go with Jupiter!
My main reasoning is not only do we have another tall Iterator lol but Jupiter is associated with the god of the sky! Sky also=birds, and I heavily associate GW with birds so it’s perfect!
Now to the art:
The bird features I’ve shown with the feather collar and sleeves. For the Jupiter features I added reds, grays, and tans.
For the red dot, I went with the (experiment gone wrong) thing and they ended up with a red scar afterwards.
I wouldn’t think Wind is all that built body type wise like Sig and Suns, so the cloak kinda helps with that. Kinda like gentle giant vibes if that makes since.
It makes them look intimidating but in actuality they are a literal grandma XD
Speaking of that, have a bonus doodle!
Pfft
Anyways, thank you so much for the idea! This helped a whole bunch. You are smart buddy❤︎︎❤︎︎
anyways here are more RC au UI doodles!!! don't really like these ones?? i mean they're drawn alright, just not as silly as some other doodles!
THEY ARE REAL!!!! IF THE DEVS DIDN'T BRING UI INTO THE GAME THEN I WILL!!!!!!!!
THEY'RE SO SILLY!!!!!!!!! SHAKING THEM AROUND!!!!!!! anyways! it has been a PAIN to figure out how to make this skin!!! but thanks to the help of some kind strangers i was able to do this!!!! thank you so so much for all of the help!! i am giving a hug to you all rn!!! (if ya' like hugs of course XD if not then giving you plenty of blankets and pillows and shiny trinkets!!
I SEE UI I REBLOG SHE'S SO SILLY OMG ....................... FAVORITE LITTLE THING ..........................................................
Planet Iterators (constellations too)
Since all of their designs are done and they are with their respected Planet/constellation I’d thought it would be fun to draw them with their said planet for the Eclipse AU
Annular Sun: Sun (solar eclipse)
Lunar Moon: Moon (lunar eclipse)
Pebbs: Earth
Sig: Uranus XD
Grey Wind: Jupiter
Unparalleled Innocence: Venus
Sliver: stars/scorpion constellation
decided to do an expedition with the UI custom skin i made!!! honestly pretty fun actually!!! except that lizards wanna maul me to death 24/7 :(
big ol' doodle post
UI after the new bit of lore for RC au drops ........................................................... (i am very sorry for kicking them with angst ..)
sorry for so much oc posts lately i have been cooking something up....
help!!!!! why are my iterators scavengers!!! help!!!
au where sliver doesn't actually ascend she just straight up almost died because of a void pipe rupture, she wakes up several hundred cycles after the incident to see that she collapsed, her systems automatically sent out a triple affirmative, and everyone thinks she's dead.
grahhh got a few ideas...
gonna do NSH and SRS later because my back hurts <//3 BUT HERE IS MOONIE.... I LOVE MOON.... she's so scrungly <3 .....
City au stuff
Basics
So city au is well.... city?? Basically a group of councils live in a city, NOT atop a structure.
Instead the city is more like our cities, except all around the city is a huge big wall protecting it from the outside wilderness. It's very rare for ancients to travel across cities, only the grand masters of cabinets do it really.
It's REALLY taboo for iterators to travel outside of the cities tho, the ancients thought that giving them the freedom of travel across cities would make them want to run off.
Speaking of iterators! off the string (I have mixed feelings about off the string, i believe that iterators aren't just their puppets, however I absolutely LOVE any off the string au)!!! the ancient lore is practically the same as in cannon except iterators: iterators will often accompany their admins to work, and will actively help with said work, they're like walking talking work calculators basically (example: iterator instructing the mechanic on how to fix the car) they are also sort of mascots for their council? not mascots actually??? but they are important to the council, they're sort of the representative of it along with their admins (usually high ranking council members) the high ranking council members all live in the council house (basically the white house), that's where the iterator is too! Then they go to work in the central council office, or the two secondary council offices for the low ranking councilmen, or the council labs! That's basically it!
Mass Ascension
When the ancients had mass ascension, they left their iterators at the cities since iterators cannot ascend the same way ancients can so now there's like a lot of half empty cities with iterators who are just trying to get by day to day life now.
Hi. I saw ur iterators and they look cool i wanna know the lore(tm)
OOO YES YES! Imma ramble about off the string au too, so putting the explanation of the au before oc lore, if you want to hear just about the oc, feel free to skip the off the string hcs! (note: a lot of my oc lore is rather long, and hard to type out in one go, i will most likely be typing up about an oc with shorter lore)
So first; how does off-the-string work in my au/hcs:
The consciousness and subconsciousness are evenly spread out throughout all of the iterator's systems and mechanisms! Usually the puppet is just used for communication, and to express the iterator's personality. Without the puppet it would be rather difficult to communicate. Now you see: the puppet can be detached from it's mechanical arm, this is most often done in maintenance or during really fancy ceremonies. To go off the string, you need to put your whole consciousness into your puppet, and then detach it from the mechanical arm. The structure would still be up and performing vital functions, however would be in a "sleep" state. You can still vaguely feel your structure if you are off the string.
Although this sounds easy, it really isn't. Since the iterator as a whole is HUGE, they'd need some time to adapt to the limitations of the puppet. They are now on the same level as an ancient, or the animals that walk beneath their structure, which can be rather difficult to adjust to if you're used to being a mechanical god. (think of it like putting all your consciousness into the tip of your finger, you're so so much smaller and vulnerable now) Note: the iterator is also now hyper-aware of their puppet since all of their consciousness, and thus attention, is in their puppet (instead of being spread out like in the structure). (Also another small note I am unsure of where to put: in my hcs, the iterators sort of have a connection to their neurons similar to bluetooth, which means that if the structure is still standing, they do not need to take their neurons along while going off the string, as they'd already have that long distance connection to the neurons) If a disconnection is done right, it is 100% reversible! Just attach the puppet back to it's mechanical arm, and everything would be just like before the iterator detached it's puppet. However if an iterator disconnected improperly, it will be rather difficult to spread their consciousness back through their structure. Also if you die off the string, your consciousness will simply go back to your structure, and you'd need to make yourself a new puppet.
As for why an iterator would need to go off the string:
Many many reasons, some iterators are just curious, others want to see if they can ascend (any void related death will cause ascension for ancients and biological organisms. Several iterators have tried to test if they'd ascend by losing their puppet to the void sea.), and some have been falsely advertised to. Not too long after Sliver's ascension, there was an event labeled the "Disconnection Obsession", where iterators would go off the string to test the aforementioned theory. However there was also a rise of false advertising, with off the string being painted as a vacation or a new solution, and of course you'd want a vacation after some real boring work. Unfortunately off the string is far from a vacation...
Onto OC lore:
I'll be talking about CV! As it's lore is currently one of the only things thats on my mind, and that I can coherently tell through one ramble. Following the disconnection obsession event, CV had gone off the string to test out if the theory of losing your puppet to the void sea will ascend an iterator (probably not be at least CV is being hopeful). Or well, it more so thought it needed to test out this theory. Unfortunately CV was brainwashed by it's council to have the extremist ascensionist views of the world. Deep down it never really had any interest in ascension, it had more interest in archiving religious history to be honest. So CV went off the string with it's neighbors (Visions of Issues Unforeseen, Grim Speculations), and originally it planned to go to the void sea, but overtime it wanted to stay with it's neighbors more (who it became rather good friends with). I nicknamed the trio "The half-group", since originally they were a separate group from DAWNS_ABOUND, before the two groups merged for political allyship back when the ancients were around. Putting this map here as well! The two collapsed iterators near the half-group are early prototypes, who collapsed even before GS (oldest of the half-group, the second model of gen 2 ever made) was built. Early prototypes never really have a long lifespan unfortunately.
Thats about it for now!
RC au reboot doodles also unsure if my handwriting is unclear, for this i will a transcript under cut
honk mimimi The reason pebbles has to carry the slag keys to moon only lets UI stick around because he can't survive alone. only sticking around because they wanna help moon & also they're very lonely enemies to "it's better not to argue while being chased by hungry vultures"
UI my favorite iterator............ i need more UI lore watcher dlc better get me more UI lore or else i am calling up video cult themselves and asking them about if they got any UI lore (JOKING-)
sketches
in the process, I came up with the idea "what if the fumes of rotting iterators are poisonous/radioactive"
