au rambles below. please send asks if you have any <3
The Scrapper is a purposed organism of iterator Organizing to Oblivion (design pending). oblivion wants scrap metal for a secret project, but does not have any on themselves to spare. so they sent a purposed organism, the scrapper, to go "borrow" some from their neighbors
the neighbors (8 of them-- based on the existing moons in lethal company) are not so fond of being scrapped. so they devised their own organisms, as well as relying on the wildlife on their structure, to kill the slugcat when spotted
the scrapper has a helmet to protect against atmospheric differences. i know in original rain world this doesn't matter but... does slugcat just have really efficient lungs to be fine above the clouds for so long or is it game logic? likely game logic
regardless, oblivion would like to keep track of the scrapper's activates (like if it is dead), so they provided it a little drone
the drone allows the iterator and slugcat to communicate
characters who dig themselves out of their graves (whether literal or metaphorical) are at the top of the list. nothing beats a character who should have died but didn't and comes back to haunt their own life and the world around them, benevolent or violent it doesn't matter, it's enthralling either way
Miles knows ASL and even tho it's the Insomniac version of him Imma headcanon all versions of Miles know ASL because that cool asf!
Marisol communicates solely in ASL. She's Italian-American and LOVES pastels and hearts.
In deaf culture they use light to alert and get others attention so I wanted to incorporate light into her fighting style. She uses flash bombs and the main part of her suit, which is based off of the Mirror Spider's reflective back, can blind temporarily enemies. The eyes of her suit allow her to see in the intense light and are very expressive (an important part of signing).
She's not fully flushed out yet and this is only the 2nd iteration of her design so she will definitely change in the future. But for now I want to figure out what her face looks like and draw her with clothes over her suit because she does so all the time.
