i am askng about your rw ocs :eyes:
:eyes back:
you have blessed me by giving me the opportunity to ramble about these little idiots thank you very much >:D
claps hands together
So!
The lore of Ever Changing Fates is a total mess rn but it's very fun to just kind of mess with
I kinda like throwing ideas out there and just bouncing off people and seeing what they come up with lmao
The general deal is:
Fates is a newer generation iterator, probably around the same age as Pebbles. Long after the Ancients vanished, he kind of just went.
"Fuck it. Fuck all of this, I hate all of this. I hate being in a damn cage, look at that weird little cat. It looks happy. Why can't that be me? I wanna be a carefree little creature. >:(" (but in a more lighthearted joking way, as he always is.)
And then immediately proceeded to hatch the most unhinged plan and experimentation process ever.
As a result, his local group......... wasn't impressed. (I will detail more about his group later!)
He did not take the discouragement and lack of support well, and ended up isolating himself to continue his work without their constant messages trying to convince him to stop.
This totally didn't have lasting affects. Totally.
He succeeded, he managed to make alterations like the ear-like antennae casing (used to protect the fragile antennae, as well as used for communication and bonding with the scugs), and the tail (for storage of neurons and whatever else he may need).
Those went well. The removal from his can...... less so. (I do have some rough sketches of it, but I may leave it as a little surprise if I ever get around to writing a comic or little drawings as responses to asks maybe?)
Needless to say, as energetic and bouncy as this little guy is, he has some secrets he's hiding. And he probably needs to rest and take care of himself far more than he would like to admit
Lucky for him, he has his two scugs to take care of him!
They were originally designed as messengers, both with skills based on stealth to allow them to travel back and forth without having to worry about fighting predators much.
The white scug, inspired by white lizards, was created first; though after an injury, Fates created another to help; the black scug.
After seeing how dangerous the path was, he designed the black scug after a mole lizard to help it work best in a new path through the darker regions of his local area, which seemed to be less inhabited. It worked well!
And, after detaching from his can, the two sort of just became guards for him.
(They don't have names yet, but I'm slowly working on it!! Suggestions are totally welcome lol. I'm thinking "Light Refracted, Countless Hues" for the white scug? Not sure for the black scug though)
Aaand not only that, but there is another companion who joins Fates on his adventures!
So this is Silent Observation (a prototype design of them at the moment), an iterator oc my friend actually made!
For some info on them, Silent is an iterator who was not part of Fates' group, but a neighbouring one. Fates stumbled upon their can, and managed to convince them to join him. Silent isn't great at resisting curiosity.
Silent is an interesting little character, who is almost always mute after their vocal systems were damaged by a group of scavengers who tried to take over their can. Silent often uses overseers to communicate simple messages, and can still make little beeps and humming noises, but not much else. They CAN talk, and
sometimes do, though it is quite painful and tends to break and skip over itself. So, they usually let chatty Fates do the talking.
And yes. Gay robots. They're lovers and we've dubbed their little ship name as clairvoyance (yknow, perceiving (observing) the future (fate)? credit to my friend for that great name idea!)
So yeah, after Fates vanished, chaos ensued— is he dead? Is he alive? Is he hurt? Where is he???
And then the sightings began. Clusters of slugcats, rushing by. One always slightly taller than the rest, built slightly differently—with garments, clothing. Purple, in green robes.
It couldn't be...
Yeah, he became a cryptid. The talk of the town, if you will. I'm sure Unparalelled Innocence was LOVING the gossip.
Especially when reports of a second creature joined; antennae, familiar robes, familiar markings.
Imagine someone suddenly sprouts wings, teaches one other person to sprout wings, and then starts flying around in front of you.
Naturally, absolute chaos. It was like Sliver of Straw's death all over again—but instead of it being about death, ascension, it was about the opposite. Life, descension, yet freedom.
Groups were divided; Those who believed it was them, and they had found a way to free themselves. Those who did not believe it was them, but it was something to be concerned about, to investigate. And those who did not believe it was anything of note at all.
(Note: this is set in a sort of AU where they find a way to slow Pebbles' rot, to stabilize Moon to a certain degree, and the group is talking again but still. Not doing the best, panicking and trying to find ways to help the two. Fates' big background-event could be the lightbulb above one of their heads to suggest the idea of tearing Pebbles and Moon from their cans to save them from their own dying bodies. Thanks, Fates lol
This AU doesn't focus on the main group much, more just my OCs. However the idea of them interacting is very fun, and I'm sure Fates' actions reach back to the main group and begin an off-the-string streak or at least have some kind of big effects lmao)
But yeah! That's a not-so-quick rundown of the beginning of this little group's adventures. I'll probably share more and detail how their lives go, how their relationship is and dynamics and certain scenes I've written about them—if I receive more asks maybe I could even try a little interactive thing I've seen others do (though I am. not much of an artist so we'll have to see lol). Regardless, I am so grateful for the excuse to talk about them a bit and I'll probably add some more on the others in Fates' group later on >:)
