A long journey ahead of us

A ask blog for some of my OCs, ask them anything about the other side

[ask-the-other-side]

Welcome to the Other-Side

About:

The Other-Side is my own Rainworld AU which takes place in the areas around 5P and Lttm, and SRS and NSH. The Other-Side itself, the place, is the area between SRS and NSH, but the story itself spans across the areas mentioned above. The Other-Side is multiple stories within one, from the young slugpup Lume with his siblings to the messenger slugcat that came from a place far away Ravage, these stories all tie into one and tell a bigger story to paint a bigger picture.

Who is the Askable slugcats?:

-> Lume: A young slugpup that escaped their rot-infested mother. He can glow in the dark and even launch himself a short distant in the air like a cyan lizard. Was adopted by Harvest.

-> Vie: A young slugpup who is the middle pup of his litter, died by his mother before reviving again. He is infested with rot and is now a rotted long-legged slugpup that infests 5Ps structure.

-> Lily: A young slugpup and the oldest of her litter, she died from her mother and stayed dead. Lume sees possible hallucinations of her, looking like a echo and whispering to him.

-> Harvest: A young slugcat who got separated from her family as a young pup. She got adopted and raised into a tribe of "Spider scugs". She is now the leader of said tribe. She is venomous. She adopted Lume.

-> CoCo: A slugcat who's mate had killed her pups due to famine. She is now enraged and is hunting him down. She is able to fly with her wings and the end of her tail is able to glow like a firefly.

-> Marine: A young slugcat that lives in the waters of Lttm, she hopes to find a way out of the falling apart structure and able to find a new place to call home.

-> Cali: A young slugpup who has lost contact with her family during a migration, she is now wandering alone in the world, struggling to find food and trying to find her lost family.

-> Oculas: A slugcat that was made by an iterator called NH. The iterator fell and now they are wandering about, carrying their iterators rarefaction cell with them.

-> Ravage: A slugcat from a distant land that was sent to the Other-Side by their iterator to retrieve a rarefaction cell from a certain iterator. Most of his body has been replaced by robotics.

About the Author:

I am 16 years old, transmasc, and I go by He/they. I got into the RW fandom because of Pansear-Doodles (RIP I miss you lots) and I fell in love immediately. I love traditional art but mainly post digital art on my socials. I have a youtube channel where I post gaming videos and projects I am doing. Tumblr is the main social media platform I use to post my art and stuff. I enjoy voice acting, drawing, writing, gaming, and cosplaying.

Warnings:

There will be blood, body horror, death, RW cycles of death and life, insanity, murder, abandonment, explosions, and possible talk about a made up religion (RW religion stuff).

[Might have to add more, at the moment this is it]

Final Notes:

Thank you for reading this, hope you enjoy this blog, and welcome to the Other-Side!

HELLO RAINWORLD COMMUNITY!

I have come with a late Pride Month game~

RAINWORLD SHIP BINGO!

I have done this a LONGGG time ago, and I'm redoing it now!

This time with both Slugcats AND Iterators! [And four ~Surprise~ ships hehehehehehe]

SO

Without further to do: LET THE SHIPPING BEGIN!!

RULES:

Through ASKS (also known as my INBOX) guess a ship [ONLY one at a time!!!!!]

Guess ANY ship in the RW fandom ranging from Slugcats, to iterators, to obscure or rare ships (and maybe some with non-slugcat or iterator species >:D)

For whatever ship you guess, even if it's not on the bingo card, I will draw a fun little illustration of the two characters together :D

THERE IS NO POLYS!! (sorry poly shipsss not this timeee)

I will draw all the characters in my style/designs for the characters THOUGH I WILL draw in other designs (not styles) IF asked for, which ranges from your own designs to someone else's in the RW fandom, BUT (and the only rule to this) you HAVE to get perms from the person you want me to draw the designs of for the ship and give me proof (if it's not your own designs ofc) AND they must approve of allowing their designs to be used for the specific ship!!!!!

TY and I hope we can have FUNN!!!!

[ask-the-other-side]

Do most iterator made slugs know each other?

uhh if they are in the general area yes, or if their iterator sends the scugs to far away lands and that scug ends up meeting other messengers (example being ravage)

[ask-the-other-side]

The Luminescent

Character Info:

The Luminescent, also known as Lume, is a young slugpup who was born inside the dying corpse of Five pebbles. Some left over power of the dying iterator struck Lume when he was young, giving him full karma and the slight ability to do a weird brain pop (not as strong as saints, cant actually kill anything, only stun it). The rot was spreading and the food around the area he and his family lived was rotting but it was all they could eat. Eating the rot caused his mother, and his brother (and technically him), to become rotted. His mother formed into a rotted long legs first, killing both Lume's siblings, Vie and Lily, before Lume killed his mother in self defense and ran off.

He explored by himself for a long time before eventually falling down a large pit that led to the spider scug packs (now old) home, which is where he met Harvest, who become his adoptive mother. Harvest does not know about his weird brain pop stun, nor that he even is at full karma. She knows about the rot because of the rot that is actively on his back.

The full karma blocks the rot, which allows him not to become a rotted creature like his mother. He sometimes sees dreams, visions, or hallucinations of his dead siblings and he feels its his fault that they are now dead.

Special Abilties:

- Is able to turn his glow on and off (if off he just looks pitch black) - He can flash his glow in quick succession, causing a flash bomb like light show - He can ever so slightly thrust himself up into the air, like a arti boost, but not really a explosion, just able to jump ever so slightly further than a normal slugpup could - brain pop stun thingy :b

Current Time Period:

Right before Saint's timeline, the area is starting to get colder but he rot is still very much in affect and is thriving, spreading even into outer expanse.

[ask-the-other-side]

To Ravage, do you like your partly robotic body?

Ravage: ...No.

[ask-the-other-side]

Do you think Harvest would take Cali in her tribe?

Uhh, probably, yes :3 If they actually meet in new lore they definitely would, but in recent times the lore has changed so Cali is like YEARS ahead of Harvest wayyyy after Harvest has passed (please do not take the descriptions of characters as accurate atm, i'll update them once I'm done remaking them for artfight :3)

*I give CoCo a hug*

Coco: Ah! Uhh- Thank you? *hesitantly hugs back* (sorry for not drawing it, also sorry for the plain response, this blog has turned less into a ask-blog cause there wasn't much interaction + me changing the au immensely over the years)

[ask-the-other-side]

CoCo want hug?

I dont know if a hug will bring her kids back but go ahead :b

[ask-the-other-side]

CoCo mad

very random lol but yes, coco is a very mad scuggy

[unknownanomoly]

Lume :D

hehe, I love him lots :D

The Otherside: A Rainworld Mod

The Otherside is a giant Rainworld mod following the story of six different slugcats in a ever growing environment after the brutal ice age. The mod takes place post-saint, closer to The Watcher campaign.

Google Form Application Sheet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little about me: You can call me Mistaken, I go by xe/xer (but he/they is alright as well if neo pronouns are hard for you). I am 15 years old and I have a LOT of passions and such and a lot of projects I want to make happen (though it is kind of a struggle to find people who actually will help out and/or believe that the project will work out or go anywhere). 

About the OtherSide: It's gonna be a BIG mod- so most likely incompatible with other mods unless you want your entire computer to blow up! (Mine might even blow up- :b) I have been working on the story, and characters, for about two years now and from the get-go I wanted this to become a mod, but the original person that was suppose to be helping me code the entire mod become no contact with me (personal reasons, it was a nasty break-up) so for a bit I have had no way of coding myself, and I don't have the time to learn. (or the want- I really just want to make the art). The entire world is gonna be post-saint (so after saint) and technically after The Watcher as well (when I made the story The Watcher wasn't out yet, but technically it's still after them cause the ice age is completely gone). 

What am I looking for in people: I want people who are good at communicating (no this does not mean public speaking, just like telling me if something went wrong, good at reaching out and good at actually asking for help if needed). I also want people who are passionate that this project will actually work out and could become a good/great mod in the workshop for Rainworld. I also want people who are willing to give their own ideas for the project- new creatures, features, rooms, regions, etc. And finally people who work somewhat well in a team, and are a good sport and have a good attitude.

What roles am I looking for: I need coders, region/room builders, Music makers, sprite makers, and artists. Also co-directors for my project, I get stressed out easily when I have like ten different people asking me stuff and I'm trying to do my own things/figure out my own part but I also have to answer EVERY question, so having someone being the back-up/help in case I get too stressed and so then someone else can step in and take the role of director for a bit. Also any directors would be mods for the discord server, and help make sure everything runs smoothly in the server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Requirements (Base):  -> Discord (required to join server, required to be somewhat active/show your alive sometimes) -> 10+ (please don't be a brain rot child, and please be ok with working with children if your an adult, some of us aren't just little stupid kids that don't know what we are doing) -> Tumblr (Required to join blog, NOT required to be active) -> Knowledge on Rainworld and it's lore (because there WILL be spoilers for at least downpour) -> A good attitude

Requirements (Role specific): -> Artist - ability to draw in official Rainworld art style, able to send transparent PNGs/JPEGs of your drawings, ability to do digital art. -> Coders - ability to code (no dur) specifically in C#, ability to work in and as a team (probs will be multiple coders, maybe not, but probs). -> Region Builders - knowledge on how to make regions/rooms, good at making everything seem in place and not seem everywhere (let's try to keep making the map a easy task), ability to work in and as a team (probs will be multiple builders, maybe not, but probs). Individual builder roles can be discussed later (EX: one room creator, one prop placer, one lighting/special affects, etc.)

-> Musicians - knowledge on how to make music (specifically OST that fits in with RW itself), not having music that sounds the EXACT same every. single. time. and actually fits the region it's suppose to be in/for.

-> Sprite Makers - Able to make multiple different kinds of sprites (lizards, vultures, new species, scugs, etc.), able to make designs as close as possible with the limited pixels.

-> Co-Directors - able to take initiative when needed, help control the server and the project and make sure everything is heading in the right direction, somewhat demanding/assertive (not too assertive though, don't be rude/mean), true passion for this project and wanting to see it till the end.

My gangs and peps who enjoyed the Otherside- I have stuff set and shit for starting the mod- if any of y'all are interested in helping (even just playtesting, it's not a role stated on there but you could just playtest if you want) then consider signing up and/or messaging me and asking if you could join./

I can't thank you all enough with the support you guys have given me over the time I've had the ask-blog, and first made this AU, and everything- thank you all, I love all of you and I hope that this mod can become a actual thing so you guys can enjoy the story in the way it was meant to be! -Mistaken out, love you all <3

[ask-the-other-side]

Y'all-

I'm struggling with continuing this blog again- and it's not because I'm not in the art mood (complete opposite actually) but I just don't know WHAT to draw- HOW to continue- it just seems like the story is too fragmented and every time I have some idea, I don't come back to it till a bit later- and then I have reworked the characters again. Now it's always small updates- like how Oculus technically isn't suppose to be able to to talk anymore- but still, it ruins past asks- and past lore that has been set- and I don't know what to do. I also just have terrible motivation and the moment I want to continue this, two weeks later I'm interested in something else- So- this is a big maybe- because I would NEED- and I mean NEED- people to actually help out and see something in this idea. BUT. WHAT IF. I. MAKETHEOTHERSIDEINTOARWMOD-

Now- now- I know this is a big project- especially since there are multiple characters and we would need to make a new regions, iterators, mechanics, etc. But- if people are interested enough, and enough people would actually like to help me out with that project- then maybe- just maybe- it's possible to do it.

NOW. Before ANYONE asks 'Well Mistaken, how is making a entire giant mod for the actual game any better than just drawing a few pictures for your ask-blog', well dear user- I'll gladly explain how-

With the ask-blog I feel like I can't give the feeling and the story I want to give with my art- as well as some thing's are changing in the scug preview of everything. But the Otherside wasn't suppose to be in slugcat preview when I first made it- when I first made it, the entire thing WAS suppose to be an idea for a mod (But then stuff happened and the coder and me broke up and now we are no contact) but the story and characters I turned into a ask-blog instead cause I didn't have confidence that the mod could work out- (Also I know literally NOTHING about coding)

So- if I could get a team of people passionate about seeing my story through and wanting to help me out- then I could actually portray the stories I want to.

I hope this all makes sense- and if you want to help, or anything- feel free to message me- I have ideas on how the game could go, but I don't know if I can follow it through since honestly- I don't think I fully trust that people are THAT interested in my story to help make it the mod it was suppose to be and I don't have the patience nor time to actually learn how to code-

Thank you for reading- if you did- and I'm sorry for not doing much for this blog-

[ask-the-other-side]

You know- Don't think I'll EVER get the comic done- and honestly I think I keep pushing myself too much to try and do comics- so here- take this. It's a picture of Vie, Lume, and Liliy's mother befoer she got overtaken by rot fully.

[ask-the-other-side]

< El -> Oculus > [ Strange glowy thing? ] The lizard eyed the rarefaction cell the slugcat had, curiously, [ Is a food, or a toy? What does it taste like? What can it do? Is there another around to play with? ]

Oculus backed away, keeping the rarefaction cell away from the lizard. She tried to flare out her antennae to scare it away. "Back away." She said lowly, refusing to let the lizard get anywhere close.

[ask-the-other-side]

Lily! When's the first time you discovered a karma flower?

Lily: "Uh- when me and my siblings escaped... I woke up due to this sound, so I followed the sound out of the den and a few rooms away, there it was. It's one that I keep with me, it feels special, magical even!.... though Vie says I'm insane for thinking magic exists..."

[ask-the-other-side]

*What looks like a Red Lizard on two legs approaches, it appears to not be hostile.*

*They look at the three, not speaking quite yet. it appears much larger than them, about the size of a "normal" Red Lizard.*

-- @ask-the-scugzards (The Alpha)

All three of the scups back up, scared. Vie gets in front of both his siblings, blocking the way, hissing at the red lizard looking creature. Vie: "Back Away!" He hisses. The other two just look scared.

[ask-the-other-side]

Sorry for slow updates

Got into FNaF again, so it's gonna be slow for the next month or slow for updates, but hopefully in the next month, I'll get the comic done and the uhh (1) ask I've gotten so far, don't worry, I'll update this blog soon!!
