Okay, this VN was also very entertaining, and I couldn't resist Deiran; he's so charismatic and kept making me laugh. Can you blame me? I love gods of chaos ( ꈍᴗꈍ)💖✨
Don't Eat The Cashier is DEFINITELY highly recommended yesyeysyes
I've developed a greater emotional dependence on him than I'm willing to admit lol
(i was struggling with tumblr's format settings, so i gave up and wrote every funfact in a different block)
Data dumping because i'm too lazy to write fic at all *copypastes the notepad*
Random stuff:
-His birthday is july 28 (yes, his zodiac sign is Leo) (please, laugh)
-He is 177 cm (5'10" ft) tall.
-He mainly used he/him pronouns and is also okay with they/them. He isn't used to other pronouns, but if you persist he'll eventually accept them and adapt, prefers not to be referred to as it/its though.
-He chose his own name from the artist in a vynil record that used to play at his home. Before this he was just called "machine", "robot", "model" or "robot".
-Sunflowers are his favorite flower. His creator used to have a some in her greenhouse and he would watch them follow the sun in his free time.
-The favorite snack of its creator and her son Reese is roasted sunflower seeds, so cooking them was one of the first things they taught Leo to do.
-He has resting airhead face. It's the result of mimicking his brother's resting bitch face, but his eyebrows simply change the whole mood lol.
-In fact, Leo's face was directly based on Reese's.
-His software is Linux derived. He probably runs DOOM too.
-He's an innate information sponge, but also terrible at practical skills. His motor functions are barely good enough to walk without tripping over his own legs 😭
-His marksmanship is pretty good though.
-He's also terrible at fighting since his joints aren't designed to withstand heavy impacts, so the risk of something breaking or snapping is pretty high. To be honest, the only way i see him winning is if somehow lands the first punch to the face (nobody is prepared for literal metal knuckles).
-For this reason, he has to consciously control his strength when doing high-impact activities.
-He has good stamina and his handgrip is surprisily strong, this is because he originally was designed to walk long distances while carrying packages.
-Leo's a big fan of high calories foods, especially sweets.
-Greasy/oily food and citrus fruits are harmful for his system, however, he consumes them anyways. The only thing he absolutely rejects is soft drinks.
-He has no taste or smell sensors, so he usually describe the "flavor" of things by their color, context or a feeling. For example, "blue flavor ice cream" refers to blueberry ice cream, "birthday flavored cake" to a decorated cake, or "funny flavored fruits" to call any kind of citrus fruit.
-For this reason, he chooses his favourite foods by their texture or memories he associates with them. For example, his family has (very diluted over the generations) italians roots and they accustomed to share bagna cauda on Reese's birthday, since it falls in winter. On the other hand, pancakes were the first thing he ate after leaving his home universe (because the first game i played with Leo's name was To Eat a God xp)
-I wouldn't say he's a bad cook...but his ideas are weird af his family's diet was based on veggies and eggs they got from their greenhouse since they didn’t have access to daily and packaged food. So, when Leo discovered these in other worlds he wasted no time before he started experimenting lol
-But he's very conscious that's better let you spice your own plate xd
-Leo needs to eat and sleep just like everyone else. His body metabolizes food to convert it into energy, and his core uses that energy to grow within his body. Meanwhile, sleep is a way for him to conserve energy and regulate his internal temperature.
-Due to the water scarcity in the area where he was created, he was built with a liquid-free cooling system that relies on expelling hot air into the environment via fans and his breathing.
-And we care because that means you can hear his fans spinning when he's nervious :P
-This guy is like a walking heater; if you press your hand on his bare body you'll get burned. His body heat drastically drops when he sleeps though.
-His dreams resemble a space composed of low-poly 3D models generated by code that recreates Leo's memories. For reference, the aesthetic it's something like LSD dream simulator, ENA BBQ or Mama's Sleeping Angels.
-He gets really sleepy when it's cold and can enter into a state of "hibernation" until the environment heats up.
-Despite being pretty resilient to harsh conditions, extreme temperatures are fatal to him in the long run. In fact, sub-zero temperatures and overheating are among the few things that can permanently kill him.
-Of the two, overheating is way worse. His core already is a volatile energy mass that messes with time as self preservation mechanism, so let's say that extreme heat make it go kaboom.
-In cold temperatures is the opposite. The energy runs so slowly that it can't reach the energy shock needed to restore itself, so it just stops working.
-he was born already knowing a whole glossary of words. However, at first he had difficulties with sentence syntax, so he communicated using isolated nouns.
-Leo can say whole sentences backwards and modulate his voice pitch into a robotic one. He likes to use these as a party trick lol
-His little secret is that naturalizing his voice is a conscious act, so if he speaks robotically with you, it's because he feels comfortable and safe with you around <3
-Leo loves singing, even if his voice isn’t that good.
-He feels no physical pain, but his software has a damage control system that overwhelms him mentally when he is injured. Practically the same, but instead of burning on the affected zone, it's like lots of spam pop-ups lol
-He is a accommodating person with savior complex who's also afraid of commitment 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
-Although he feels comfortable surrounded by children, since he was never one himself, he is unsure how to deal with them.
-Although it can experience genuine feelings, its emotional range is not as broad as that of a human being.
-Bro still can't tell apart fiction from reality. This also applies to lies and exaggerations; in the first interaction, he'll always assume you're telling the truth.
-He has memorized 47 Pi digits (it's Reese's fault).
-He loves listening to people's stories and anecdotes.
-He has a very vague idea of what a country is.
-He can't clap his hands. When he tries, it doesn't make the right sound. The same thing happens when he tries snap his fingers.
-If somebody wonders what happens when you pull Leo's core out of his body:
Romantic stuff related:
-Touch is his more developed sense, in consequence, bro's extremely physically clingy xp.
-His favorite way to show affection is by caressing and playing with the hands of his loved one.
-He is not really into wireplay, but if you ask him for permission, he'll probably allow you touch him a bit. He's kinda curious about why humans crave for intimacy so much, I guess?
-Leo is capable of fall in love with any kind of sapiens lifeform (lol) but i think he has a preferences. His ideal type is a self-assured person with initiative and an interesting life with many stories to tell.
As for the physical appearence, he cares even less, but he is definitely fascinated by chubby/curvy people. As an inorganic being, Leo feels a strong attraction to the softness of human fat.
-Contrary to my creative liberties, canonically, Leo can't blush xd (do whatever you want anyways, i'll keep doing whatever i want)
When I started this piece I had this vague idea of Mike being figuratively trapped by both his family expectations and the memory of his sister's death. How much of him was truly "born evil" and how much of it was the humanity being poisoned out of him?
Sketch without a particular reason without a particular pose
I made this to kill time while i was waiting for a call xp Next, I'll be rambling on about Leo, probably with a lot of syntax mistakes adsjljsaladjdsl i'm tired but i love him so much
I think i've never said this, but Hatsune Miku was the trigger for Leo's first concept. Vocaloid was my main emotional support in my early teens and i've always been fascinated by the way the cryptonloids could be anything and anybody without losing their identity; Miku can be a princess, an assasin, a pierrot, a fujoshi or a girl lost in the woods, but all of them is still her.
I used to fastly get bored of my ocs because i'd get obsessed with a topic for a while and then drop it along the oc i made related to it. I didn't want it to happen the same with Leo, so I gave him the ability to jump to other universes so that he could adapt to my current interests. Just like every miku is canon, the Leo in each universe is the same person and has been in each one in the order in which I have played the respective game in which he is.
Saludations, people of tumblr, Since I have an account here, I wanted to share both a "storytime" post and an idea. I had a weird dream today where I was playing *Ultrakill*—specifically the Fraud layer, or so I assume, since it had the aesthetic of that level's hotel. At one point, I found a spiral staircase and decided to descend using a slam move; as I went down, the area inverted, and I ended up underneath the stairs (though from my perspective, I was actually on top of them because the room had flipped). After tossing a coin and killing the last enemy, the screen slowed down—like when you complete a phase or level—and I spotted a door. Opening it led me to the cinema area where "Geryon's" corpse is supposed to be. Upon entering, a message appeared on the style meter: "It's time to exterminate humankind." Immediately after, a creature named "Axon" appeared, followed by a red message on the style meter: "Vanish it." I remember approaching it, and it fired a blue projectile trailed by a beam of light—as if protected by an Idol—which don't allowed me to parry it back. It also fired standard red projectiles. The thing is, I woke up before I could see if it had another phase. The dream was so bizarre that it really caught my attention, so I sketched what the creature looked like. Judge for yourselves.
