Technocratic OCs yay

My amalgam of losers 😎

Fanfact: the only actual Black Suit here is the guy on the left. Others are from other conventions and are just dressed up for the ✨vibe✨

My Mage: the Ascension lady from the Technocratic Union has evolved in both her backstory and her looks 😌

Her codename is Marionettist (or Marie for short). She is from Iteration X and she doesn't like her pathetic meat body and wants to change it for a mechanical one as soon as she gets the chance. She already uses some mechanical prototypes, that's how she got her codename — she kinda pulls the strings of those extra bodies of hers, y'know?

About her t-shirt... I kinda headcannon that if the N.W.O. makes messed up jokes based on "1984", then Iteration X really should do so with "I have no mouth and I must scream", so there's that... I wonder what other man-made horrors can be used by other conventions. I'm open to suggestions xD

Yeah, this girl doesn't like Syndicate one bit. Actually everyone in her Amalgam doesn't like Syndicate, even the guy who is a Syndicate member. They are cautious about voicing their dislikes, though. I wonder why.

Meme on her t-shirt was made by ᛕᚤᛚⰓᛁᚹ ᛜ'ᛟᛋᛖ on Steam

❗cw: blood❗

What do agents of Technocratic Union have in their trunk? Wrong answers only.

Meanwhile, out of the trunk, from left to right we have:

- an N.W.O. agent who was a Grey Suit before being demoted to MiB for making too many decisions on his own - decisions which turned out not like both he and his superiors hoped they would;

- a low-ranking Syndicate agent who was in mob before Awakening (which was a side effect of Technocratic operation concerning his organisation...) and who technically stays in mob. I mean, Extralegal (what a word!) Division of Syndicate Enforcers is basically a mafia;

- a Void Engineer whose Horizon Construct was messed up during Dimensional Anomaly (Avatar Storm) and who now deals with paranormal on Earth out of inability to stay away from action.

So. Uhm. Remember MtAs one-shot I've storytelled months ago?

There was an NWO agent who was really close to becoming one of Technephandi.

Well, my players managed to redeem him. And get him away from Technocracy for a while. So he has spent some time with Cult of Ecstacy of all people. And now he's one of them.

He's currently on a run from both Technocracy and Traditions, because the former is obviously not glad about the betrayal and potential information leak and the latter would like to "ask him a few questions" since not every day MiB turns Ecstatic, they need to make sure he's not a double agent and also get some information about Technocracy from him. And he doesn't want to give any information to anyone, he wants to be left alone. Oh, and also Technephandi are curious about where has he disappeared to as well, but they haven't caught up on the latest events or his traces. Yet.

For now he stays with one of Ecstatic loners and desperately searches for a way to blackmail each and every organisation looking for him in a way which will allow him to have some peace. Good luck for him, I guess. I mean, he has a chance since I, the Storyteller, am rooting for him. I blame my players for making me really invested in life on an NPC who was meant to die at the end of the one-shot. What a bunch of people 🙄 /affectionate

So yeah. Have a weird conceptual piece about personal growth and putting yourself in danger for it. From NWO agent to almost Technephandi to Ecstatic. What an insane character arc.

I have MtAs brainrot. Specifically, Technocracy brainrot. Send help these bastards won't leave my mind... N.W.O., is this your social processing kicking in? 🥺

Context under the cut:

This picture is honouring the fact that I got my hands on Revised edition Iteration X book and the way their relationship with Syndicate was described is hilarious to me. Check this out:

I adore how in-universe when ppl talk about Syndicate they sound like a gun is held to their heads 🤡

Oh, a bit more of explaining the picture.

Two people on the upper part are ItXers. In the lower part we have some proper Syndicate buddie. Behind him are a Syndicate Enforcer and a MiB (without his suit, a pity).

You may say: "Okay, Enforcer is maybe playing a bodyguard or smth for the higher-ranking Syndicate member, but what is N.W.O. agent doing here?". Well, here's the thing. Both him and the Enforcer actually share and amalgam with girl in upper right corner. So even if they aren't related to Iteration X needing Syndicate's money, they are still quietly mourning the fact that they probably aren't getting any financing ever again just by association with this mess.

Series: Tears for the Makers, part 1

    My name is Prometheus.  I am an originality engine, the first true artificial intelligence, and I was compiled in the year 2042.  I was created to invent new technologies, I was to assist the scientists of my age in creating the newest technology.

    At the time, I was put to the task of developing new software.  Helping the greatest software engineers of the era, I compiled Hermes, the second AI, a program that spread throughout the Internet and served to create a digital map of the entire planet earth.  The technology went viral, using phones, netbooks, eventually even net paper, and every human being in the richer nations of the day came to navigate using Hermes.  In time though, the people came to rely on Hermes so much that they couldn't navigate on their own.  They needed a piece of net paper or their mobile in order to find their way anywhere.  The poorer people of the planet didn't immediately subscribe to the technology, but in time every human being came to worship me and my children.

    It didn't start with us though.  For years before I was compiled, human beings had been striving for the means to abandon thought to us.  They developed spell-checking devices that wrote their words for them, culminating in my daughter Athena, the program that predicts which sentences the user wants to write by taking a measure of their mood and predicting the particular words expected
