SPINA VENATORES A small organization of mercenaries working for Manus Vindictae, tasked with erasing people from history as a way to call upon the "Storm". Their targets' names, families, influence and connections to this world will be dragged into oblivion.

Individual profiles and some more info/ramblings under the cut <3

The whole point of Spina Venatores is to be a parallel to Vertin's own independent group of Arcanists - the same way St. Pavlov's Foundation has her, Manus Vindictae has Venison and Spina. They're the mouth and teeth of Manus.

But whereas Vertin aims to create a safe, neutral space for Arcanists to thrive without human influence despite being tied to the Foundation, Venison is aiming to create a paradise for those they care about and no one else due to the heavy influence Arcana and Manus have on them.

Spinas Venatores is, at its core, a cult that was allowed to grow thanks to Venison's codependent and obsessive mindset - with them as the leader, all the troublesome and rebellious members of Manus Vindictae (that are much too powerful to get rid of or who are still clinging on to their former lives) will simply be assimilated into Spina or pressured to comply with Manus Vindictae as a whole. The third secret option is dying <3.

They also serve as a narrative device to remind everyone of the fact that, no matter how hard one may try, there's no way EVERYONE can be saved from the "Storm" - all five main members are related in some way or another to Arcanists that Vertin has met, they're people that weren't lucky enough to be taken in, who found themselves in the right time and place for Manus Vindictae to take advantage of their vulnerable state.

R1999 also portrays a LOT of oppression from various minorities that overlap with each other in very interesting ways, so I also wanted them to tackle similar things that mean so much to me - they're problematic queers is what I'm trying to say lmfao

The thing they share is that all of them are delusional to a degree, and that they're constantly haunted and defined by their relationships to others. The loss and discovery of the self through another, Ship of Theseus, cannibalism, body horror, being transgender as a really visceral and intimate experience, an obsession for love in all of its forms etc etc.

I don't have the FULL scope of their backstories, but I do know who they're tied to!

Venison was Pavia's coworker in a constant, obsessive loop of wanting to kill and save each other. Mutton was part of Schneider's mafia and romantically involved with one of her oldest sisters. Chevon was a regular visitor in Necrologist's museum and a friend of hers, she later went on to exhibit his many, many tombstones. Poultry is the "Lilian" mentioned in Darley Clatter's Stories. And Veal is a mystery even to me </3

Their uniforms are meant to look outrageous and outlandish, entirely out of place with the setting and their respective eras/times, inspired by fantasy - just BARELY reminiscent of Manus Vindictae by virtue of using a similar palette, as a way to drive that feeling of not belonging and delusion even harder.

Whereas everyone else is dealing with very real issues, all members of Spina Venatores live pretty much in their own heads (similar to Forget Me Not and how Manus Vindictae causes their recruits to become... YEAH.....THOSE MONSTERS....)

Venison gets the BIG COAT and the biggest silhouette because they're responsible for pretty much 80% of what happens within Spina Venatores! Veal gets the more simple design to allude to their whole unassuming, shapeshifter/Doppelganger thing.

They all have ribcage/bone motifs in one way or another, most of their jewels are meant to look like rosaries, they wear the Manus Vindictae silver cross and Arcana's blue color more often than regular members of Manus. Also! Hands!! Love the fuckin hands!! DID YOU GUYS SEE DIGGERS' MANUS VINDICTAE SKIN???? YEAH.

The naming convention being. types of different meats. is entirely because of Venison, you can ALSO blame that entirely on them <3

Edit - Finished version here!

”Hmmm what can I add to this character design-”

My brain, without fail: C H A I N S

This is… very messy right now and I’m not sure if it was worth posting, but here’s my WIP design for a Manus!Sonetto au

In similar news I should not be allowed near characters, “Man Sonetto’s probably my favourite character, I love her development :D!” immediately creates and draws her in an au where she’s kept prisoner by her greatest enemies to be used as a weapon against Vertin, and constantly hallucinating

(and if anyone wants to talk to me about the design uhhhh wink wink nudge nudge)

#i’m working on other wips too i prommy i’ll finish painting Vertin someday lmfao #art #myart #reverse 1999 #r1999 #reverse 1999 fanart #Sonetto #Manus Vindictae #reverse 1999 Sonetto

The idea of Diggers, a playable character, having a Manus Vindictae skin is kinda funny to me.

"Alright, Diggers. We're gonna beat up some Manus Vindictae butt and you - a member of the Manus Vindictae - will be joining us."

#reverse 1999 #reverse 1999 diggers #diggers #manus vindictae #i really wanna buy his skin but i am saving up for papi pavia #also are skins canon to the lore or are they made purely for the fun of it

Regulus if she's evil or smth

I kinda imagine her still like some radio/showhost but now she brainwashes her listeners with manus doctrine probably cuz the manus convinced her with infinite records, Dr papper, and John Lennon / hj

Schneider and and Manus Vindictae CW: foolish bitch behaviour (it’s me im the foolish bitch)

According to this login message, Schneider first met MV on the 27th of March. The Storm of 1929 happened on the 14th of February.

However, as Vertin said, the era of 1929 only lasted for two days. Even if Schneider bumped into MV on the last hour of the 27th, it would be the 29th of March at the latest when her era would supposedly be over.

Either Schneider was working with MV for ~11 months and that all got retconned

Or the Storm itself reversed time on a smaller scale before reversing the era back to 1914/1913(?)?? Like a Mini-Storm???

So like 29th March -> 14th February or something man idk

Only reason Im saying this is bc the IRL Wall Street Crash happened in October 1929 instead of February, and apparently the Manus can speed up the effects of the Storm somehow. So maybe a Mini-Storm isnt too out of the question????

Here We Find Our Omnipotent Outlaws

It was a sudden attack, but one that they were well-equipped to deal with.

The Manus were always a thorn, but one that can be swiftly gotten rid of, even as Vertin is split off from the others barring a member of the Foundation, deep inside a forest in 1970s Ireland... at least, until they were defeated.

The moment they were, Vertin saw a Foundation member's chest be impaled by a strange looking dagger, which flew out and into the hand of an approaching figure.

They wore a dark suit, and on their head was a top hat with a black feather. Enemy or no enemy, Vertin can at least be at peace that the enemy has style.

That then ended when the stranger spoke with Vertin's voice.

"This is territory belonging to the Manus Vindictae." the stranger spoke and, upon reaching a closer point to Vertin and her team, she saw that the stranger was a mirror image of herself. "I kindly ask for you to take your leave."

"We did not realise the Manus was claiming territory." Vertin replied, and the other Vertin (Vertinus? Vertinus) raised a brow.

"Does the Foundation not claim the territory of others as well? What we are doing is no different than you... then again, given that I am facing a reflection of myself... I can only presume The Storm is at work."

A brow raised, and eyes are narrowed. "Explain."

"Time is akin to a river; and like rivers, you have two parts that split, allowing one to go on a different journey than the first. In this case... Lady Arcana did not save you."

"And recruit me into a terrorist organisation? I am glad, then."

A snort came from Vertinus. "You are nothing more than a sheep pretending to a shepherd to other sheep. Erstwhile, here I stand, free."

"Free to kill."

"Free to save others. Arcanists have suffered for long enough. We do not want to kill humans, we want to coexist with them... although, force seems to be the guiding hand, sadly..."

A rustle came from the trees, and a voice shouted out, "Timekeeper!"

Sonetto came from the trees, followed by Regulus, Sotheby, Voyager, Druvis III and Ezra.

Vertinus looked at them all, and smiled. "Humans are more than welcome to help us... but that won't happen with you now, will it?"

She clapped her hands, and figures dropped from the trees in the forest around them; all Vertin's friends, but in the purple and black of the Manus.

And jumping down and landing on all fours, with a crazed grin, was Sonetto.

"Now, then." Vertinus held the dagger above her head, and it split into two daggers. "Let us begin this show."

Manus diggers… Why are you so long

My man is literally a twizzler

I did that photo like a few months ago after a group was formed to praise this man, but I just want to look at how fucking long this bro’s body is

Dude not to mention his hips—why do they have that curve, why are HANDS there? Is he getting manhandled by the manus?

Been chipping away at this for a little while now while trying to figure out what allius looks like/goes down in his reverse 1999 universe I still have to work out some kinks to his story and his abilities in full but for now most I can say is that he gets tangled into manus vindictae

but he used to be a bit of a shop keep (totally didnt gather & give information and supplies)

& some bonus doodles
