This is an askblog for my (Luna's) Rain World OCs involved in the "Mobile Iterator Project" AU. This AU is NOT canon-compliant; expect minor-major deviations from Vanilla and DLC canons! I have a basic intro post for my OCs [Here]! I recommend checking out the [Pinned Post] on the Archive Blog if you'd like to learn more about the AU in general! (It also has CONTENT WARNINGS!) ⚠️ This blog contains sensitive content!
This blog is connected to a sister blog, which doesn't exist yet!
RULES:
-> When sending an ask, please specify which character you're sending it to! (e.g: "To Thorns...") You can send it to multiple, as well!
If you're sending an ask OOC, you can specify with "(OOC)..." or "To Admin..."
If you don't specify, I'll choose the recipient(s) myself. (or answer it OOC!) Please note I may sometimes change or add recipients for various reasons.
-> This is the "main" askblog featuring characters relevant to the "main" MIP Storyline! You can ask other MIP-related characters at our sister blog.
-> Please try to break up multiple questions into separate asks.
-> Please don't ask questions related to your own OCs unless I already know them.
-> Nothing NSFW or suggestive.
-> No "magic" asks (like turning the characters into different things). You can send items if you want, though
-> Please keep in mind that Frosted Briar is, for all intents and purposes, a child.
-> I'm not going to be able to answer every ask, and asks might be rejected if they make me uncomfortable. Asks may also take a long time to be answered. Please keep that in mind.
Assume that the askblog is its own sort of timeline / mini-canon. Things are generally consistent, but the nature of an interactive medium like this lends itself to details that aren't necessarily there in the main MIP canon. (like the existence of these asks to begin with!)
Characters You can send Asks to Here: Starlight Symphony (SLS), Legacy Of Famine (LOF), Perpetual Umbra (PU), Thorns Without Roses (TWR), Seafoam, Glimmering In Sunlight (SGIS), Frosted Briar (FB), Nascent Apotheosis (NA/99), No Cost Too Great (NCTG), Sand-Smoothed Reckoning (SSR), perhaps more later...?

"How much damage can a MIP unit take before they are nonfunctional? How much until they cannot be repaired? No particular reason for asking, just a curious observer definitely."
Another Strawpage Ask. I had fun drawing SGIS and TWR hanging out.
"thank you for letting me know that mip conversion isn't possible for a iterator, especialy a old model such as myself. I will continue repairs and devise ways to keep my function for as long as possible. ...why did i have to mess with my rot research side project... -Forgotten Wish" (Strawpage Ask)
"is there a conversion kit for regular iterator models so they can be mobile like the mip? if not can we manufacture it? my can is in a "suboptimal" state and id like to know my options. -Forgotten wish" (Strawpage Ask)
-> tl;dr no but transfers have been performed on Iterators before. Addendum Below:
Strawpage Ask I received about MIP Units and how they feel about being copies of their Personality Donors.
There are some Units who don't really care about it, too, like Plume Of Embers (corvus' little guy)... TWR, of course, as someone not based upon some random Citizen, views herself as superior to the rest of the Units.
also there was supposed to be text in SLS' speech bubble in the second image saying "I can't breathe..." but I forgot it
if nctg randomly exploded (read: i kill with hammers) who would secretly be the most relieved
SGIS: Please avoid such inquiries in the future.
Additional Response(s):
PU: Wait, should I record this as an actual threat of violence?
TWR: Are you an idiot?
SGIS: It's an anonymous hypothetical. Furthermore, the threat itself is nonsensical enough to be discarded. You may record it for posterity, if you wish.
PU: ...I'll write it down anyways, just to be safe.

Respondent(s): MIP_18 "Seafoam, Glimmering In Sunlight", MIP_23 "Thorns Without Roses", MIP_02 "Perpetual Umbra" (Transcript Only)
---------------------
Luna's Notes: I want to try doing more little... conversations like that in the future. Character commentary that doesn't fit within the drawings. It's easier to add more characterization in that way. haha
If you want an actual answer... Thorns, probably. Legacy most frequently wishes violence upon them, but they're not very likely to act on it anymore. Also, he'd still be worried for SLS and PU. It is very difficult for them to function without direction. SGIS would worry about whomever wishes to succeed their position. FB would be too numb to react for quite a long time. And 99....
it's hard to tell.
also I drew thorns' face shape a bit differently here. bit of experimentation
who is the tallest and shortest MIP and what are the theoretical heigh limits in either direction?
---------------------
[COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED]
Respondent(s): MIP_99 "Nascent Apotheosis"
---------------------
Luna's Notes: The height measurements are in brackets because these are internal measurements and I'm not 100% sure they're like. accurate to the world's scale.., shrugs. anyways I tried to focus on specific comparisons to give you a good idea of things. Also I think I'm gonna make Director a Little Taller than before perhaps. Just a bit. god theyre so tall
I thought I'd have mroe to say here tbh but I think I did a pretty good job outlining it ~
edit: I forgot to add this but SLS' height is 144 cm (so the lower height limit is 145 cm)
A Crimson red pearl was noticed amongst fresh delivery and it came with attached message to it:
"Greetings Perpetual Umbra, I hope Im of no inconvenience, but I would like to ask for the assistance. This particular data pearl contains valuable for me and my workgroup data, but in so far I was unable to decrypt and extract the data. Im unable to address my peers for assistance due to technical issues and I was hoping you might help with it"
- WSS
Pearl appears to be indeed encrypted, but on such surface level it was surprising "WSS" couldn't access it. With minimal effort data was extracted and it contained quite the volume of old, even ancient, star charts and maps used for navigation and constellation charting. But amongst this all there was also.... a hymn. Put on autoplay it ring damaged by time song and words. Despite the damage first words of the hymn can be clearly heard and understood:
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
The Mobile Iterator Project Askblog is now Permanently Closed. Thank you everyone for your submissions.
....not really. here's your response.

Luna's Notes: I wouldn't normally take an ask like this, but it spoke to me for some reason. ((the bit it was the bit it was the opportunity for The Bit)) . ask is of dubious canonicity as I'm sure there are methods of "trolling" within this universe but Rick Astley's famous song likely does not exist, unsurprisingly. 👍
