I think I might retcon myself with Amelia. In The Final Mystery, I sort of chickened out of a darker reveal in favor of making her look better. But I can’t say “she wouldn’t go that far” because. Like. Yes she would.
Anyway here’s my “new” pitch:
Kirin has been with her for almost three years in Tyvia and doesn’t remember any of it.
She lies to him and says he’s only been there a month or so (refusing to let him read the paper, limiting his time out of the house, hand-waving his subtle aging.)
Truth is, the neural inhibitor she made is still in early stages of development. The only reason she went and snatched him from Karnaca (his HOME!!) was to use him to further the inhibitor project— which has been a failure previously.
Kirin keeps recovering… then relapsing. When he wakes, he’s back at square one and doesn’t recall anything from before. She catalogs his progress and treats him like an experiment more than a person. Keeping him in the laboratory, hardly speaking to him, subjecting him to cruel conditions. Only gradually, over the course of several weeks, does she start to grow fond of him.
But he doesn’t remember her at all— doesn’t remember any of her cold treatment or the pain she subjected him to for the sake of the inhibitor project. After several relapses, things become better for him. She lets him stay in his own room— which is already to his liking, stocked with books he’d chosen weeks ago and clothing that fits him and suits his style. She knows how to cook his favorite meals because he’d mentioned them in a past relapse. She knows how he likes his bath drawn and how strong his coffee needs to be.
And Kirin… Kirin thinks she’s just that intuitive! That she’s this perfect soul-mate or partner, someone of a like-mind, when she’s really just… imitating and immolating, as she always has.
So they inevitably get really close and start a romantic relationship. Then he relapses. And she tries to replicate those events over and over again with less success each time because she’s obviously getting desperate. And he’s keen and suspicious. And the inhibitor still isn’t working as intended, but what time does she have to work on it when she’s so obsessed with getting Kirin to fall for her bullshit again? And the high judges keep calling on her to report her findings and she’s ignoring their summons because she knows it’ll reveal to Jindosh how long she’s been toying with him. And when it all comes to the surface, he’s *pissed* bc of course he is! She’s a fraud in his eyes. A genius would have perfected the design by now. She’s no prodigy like he is, she’s just savvy and selfish and insane. Worse than he is, really.
And so he fleas to Dunwall in the middle of the night and spills all Amelia’s secrets to the crown and in exchange for a pardon for his crimes, the empress demands he build her an army. So Tyvia goes to war with Dunwall and there they are, the two of them, at the center of it.
I recently commissioned the amazing @arthmis / @newbordeaux for this stunning piece of em’s ( @tea-me-and-salt ) dishonored oc, elize, and kirin jindosh. as always, amina is incredible to work with and i cannot recommend her work enough! it’s always a pleasure working with her 💖
happy birthday @tea-me-and-salt 💖💕💖🥹 i hope you had an amazing day!
This is a fan art of Jindosh I drew a while back… Of course,I rarely make such highly polished illustrations in my normal/regular creative time — it simply drains so much energy.(•̩̩̩̩＿•̩̩̩̩) I have lot of unfinished sketches......
He'd run a deathtrap theme park full of rides that he designed himself (none of which pass any safety inspections) and all the operators would be automatons with an override code to disregard the sanctity of human life (its always activated) and once you're in the park, you can't leave until closing time. At which point you will have to try and locate the exit (it has moved) while being hunted by The Minotaur.
just played clockwork mansion for the ghost in the cogs achievement, and while it was very satisfying, the level lacks that extraordinary atmosphere when i dont have my piss boy being obnoxious over the speakers
Jindosh’s love language is maintenance. Making someone something helpful when he sees they need it. Spending his invaluable time working on trinkets and gadgets to make someone’s life just slightly easier. Paying enough attention to little details, noticing patterns, and putting his mind to good use.
