Are you sick of those freaks over at UrbanShade? Well, a former weapon manufacturing company turned testing facility has called you (the player) to assist them in an entity clean-up! Sounds simple enough, right? Just find that darned battery for the place and get out, yeah?
Yeah, right.
The player will find their way through the compound while facing characters such as the Morays, Animator, and Everest Eclipse. We here at RuralLight wish you the best of luck as you continue our search for the VoidStar!
We ask that you do not use our art without permission, whether that be heavy reference, reposting to other sites, feeding it to ai, etc.
vvv More important details under cut vvv
As stated before, welcome to RuralLight! A Pressure based blog for those who donāt feel comfortable with the characters and/or storyline after everything, and also for those who would like to join us as we develop our story! Posts may not be often, but we (the three owners of the blog, story, and characters) are trying our best to get a solid storyline and gameplay idea for RuralLights concept.
RuralLight is not a game, (Roblox or other), it is simply a pile of OCās and story based off of what Pressure had. We are simply re-writing the characters into our own (similar to what others have done already)
Ask rules:
No nsfw asks, our artist will NOT be having ANY of that
We take anything, from ideas, art requests, etc!
If you donāt have something nice to say donāt say it (be nice to us and others, asks and comments that are perceived as rude will be deleted or ignored)
Edit 5/29/26: Sorry we werenāt allowing anon asks! Thatās been updated!
Yes our artist puts an unholy amount of watermarks on the art please just ignore it, they get paranoid about their stuff being online <3
We are THREE PEOPLE! For pronouns we could care less but if we decide to share our blogs (or if you figure out our blogs) please respect pronouns (if we have any shown, tbh i donāt think we do, hey honestly just donāt be mean, respect peopleās pronouns, RuralLight is an ally)
We tag everything with RuralLight and pressure, and will tag characters accordingly (OC tag + what character theyāre based off of)
Tags is question:
rural light / rurallight
pressure (with various other pressure tags, there are so many)
my art
RuralLight fanart (if we get any reblogs will be tagged with this)
Character Ref
Everest Eclipse
The Cluster RuralLight
im going to stop adding tags here and start adding them to the tags of this post instead, weāre two characters in and Iām already getting annoyed
the little top banner of yalls in the notification popup is so aesthetically pleasing i love it
Thank you, we try our best <3 (though it does sometimes make it hard to tell which character is receiving notes in the activity tab, gotta stay aesthetic)
Sonar is one of our favorite specimens by far. She was raised from a pup by members of our staff, and helped us in our effort to add limbs to subjects! She was hatched as an altered filetail catshark who just so happened to be albino! Sadly, in our efforts to add DNA to her, she lost her vision about a year and a half into her experiment. After her eyes failed, she became much for jumpy and suspicious of us, so we ultimately had no choice but to change her handling to only Everest.
Her main mutations include:
Filetail Catshark (main host)
Beluga
glass-bellied frog
feline genetics (Cougar/Puma/MountainLion or other big cat*)
In the events that took place, she has been released from her containment and has now made home in [_______]. We warn new entries to be careful of this area.
Extra design notes below!
CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO SEE THE FULL THING!
From these images, if you have any questions please send asks or ask in the comments. They tend to be confusing.
*Uh so we really couldnāt decide on the feline that we wanted to mutate her with so you can really pretend itās anything.
Her design is very flexible! She doesnāt have to have that blue/pink shine but we added it to add to her character.
Most if not all traditional art you see of her was done with little or no reference and is mainly memory, always look back at her digital reference sheet for confident design details.
If youāre curious, traditional art is made with a multicoloured pen, a white-out marker, and highlighters.
She has FOUR front toes and THREE back toes on her paws! Of course this is altered with design but thatās her canon amount.
like said on her design sheet, her fins are transparent, but thatās completely optional when it comes to drawing her.
One last thing: Sonar was a replacement for Eyefestation but her final design ended up becoming a replacement Grand Encounter. Please expect to see a different replacement for Eyefestations mechanic.
Sonars tag - Sonar Rurallight
(in the tags here itās at the very bottom, sorry)
Anie is canonically just a computer, itās just that our reference sheet is her as a robot as a lot of people like to draw them that way. You can take creative liberties when drawing / imagining this character!
- - -
The Animator is a computerized* art and animation program made by [Classified] who was an asset RuralLight was looking forward to owning once we found out about its presence! Its creator spent years exposing the Animator to different places and experiences in order to allow it to produce art that looks as close to human-made as any bot has made. We had offered to purchase the machine off of them, but that was met withā¦ ah, unfortunate consequences when we were declined in said offer.
After bringing the program to our premises we planned to use the art it made for profit. Sadly, its newfound sentience made this a difficult task to complete, and ultimately we ended locking it into our heavy containment facilities after its results came back illegible.
[The Animator, or Anie as nicknamed by the creator and itself, goes by She/He/They/Any pronouns (going in order from most used to least, she uses she/her first, he/him second, they/it & they/them when absolutely necessary, and any others arenāt preferred but accepted!). Please please follow these guidelines for our little shehehehe <3]
Extra design notes are as stated below!
dream manhunt turned prison roleplay š
haha woah who said that? Anyways hereās the notes:
As stated before, SHES A COMPUTER!! She has a set (but flexible) anthro (?) design we made before her computer design, and our artist thought our extra references would be enough to point people in the right direction. Minus the āearsā (or antenna?) thatās basically his computer design?
You can see their computer design in both these notes and our banner image!
the bow is a very important gift from Everest, please try to include it if drawing Anie!
The Paws on her hands are just as optional as Everests, feel free to include or exclude them, your choice!
He can make any face! Either he uses the emoticons or she draws her own face, though it takes a lot of effort to do so! Usually they use the simpler option.
Uh Everest doesnāt call him āAnieā as a nickname but if you got this far we might tell you later š
Animators tag is as stated:
The Animator RuralLight (or) Anie RuralLight
Edit 5/30/26: *Changed it to computerized because I donāt know if tumblr isnāt pushing out our art as much because I had āaiā there? We HATE gen AI so please push us back out there tumby <3
After a literal day of talking, we finally finished our story for the Animator and theyāll be posted hopefully today or tomorrow! After that we have two ready characters and (almost) two reference sheets in our drafts!
We were not expecting the Morays to get THAT much attention (Thank you for everyoneās support so far). The Animator is the next character up on our list, though they might take longer to post due to their description/full story not being finished (if not animator we have other characters with almost fully finished story that we can write for instead).
Again, thank you guys so much! We canāt believe people are looking forward to this project.
The Cluster was found on site when we first started building the facility, though we hadnāt investigated until we were fully finished. They seemingly share descent with your average Moray eel. Other than of course the fact they are all bigger and longer than a school bus or two, they have just about the all same traits! They were found tightly curled to each other, like many moray species tend to do.
Originally we only found four of them together, Moray, CryBaby, SnapJaw, and Smokee (all generously named by staff), with the āSistersā found a ways away. They all seem to be dead and rotted versions of the Morays merged together by undersea bacteria and flora, and their smoke has a tar-like texture. They are kept in a separate containment.
Crybaby is the only confirmed female moray (other than the Sisters), and they all seem to be of the same clutch (meaning theyāre siblings!).
Extra design notes below!
That description might get edited laterā¦
oh ignore the sisters here, SOMEONE had to invade the canvas and attempt to draw the sisters (you know who you are)
Being completely honest, thereās a LOT to say about these, so if anyone has questions about designs or story please ask us and weāll try to help. Anyways these are important to drawing:
Snapjaw is LONG, much longer than his design sheet. Feel free to extend his āshadowā however much you want
the Sisters donāt look like they have eyes, but when she gets angered or spots prey they will drop down into all available sockets (of which she has three, her left on the middle head (HER left) and both on her left head (the green one, or HER left)). The eyes are off-white and foggy (as seen on our banner!)
They all have different muzzle designs, which Smokee being more flat and Snapjaw having the overall longest (heās just SO BIG oh my word)
they also all have different ānostrilsā and itās a small detail but our artist will giggle and kick their feet if you follow the guide (itās as optional as Everests paws by the way, we donāt care)
what isnāt optional is their gills, yes theyāre all different and help build head shape, please follow those guides
teeth design also matter (they donāt have specified colors so you can use the banner as reference, most of them are yellowed/grey/can be the same color as the moray itself)
the Sisters can have whatever you want thrown onto them. Theyāre a combination of three dead Morays and various other things that died, so you can include other dead sea creatures (like the fish fins on her ref)
Please donāt ask how they would traverse the facility, they consider that rude and would prefer you not talk about their size. They can fit through human-sized doors and will not tell you how or why.
They have a lot of tags, so you can check but their main one will be:
The cluster RuralLight
thatās when their all together (the cluster, May or may not be sisters), and each one will get their own tag (including name and RuralLight for clarification)
Everest Eclipse is our designated experiment feeder and handler. After being tested on himself in our experiments for possible gills and night vision in our soldiers, we exposed him to some of our other subjects, who all seemed to take a much greater liking to him compared to our former feeders.
Everest formerly was a dogsled musher, though that profession was quickly taken from him after he was blamed for a fire that killed almost a dozen and injured even more during a competition. RuralLight ever so greatly has taken his death sentence into our own hands, and heās been legally classified as dead for quite some time now. Alas, his life has been much more useful for testing future technology in our facilities.
His experiment consists of a multitude of species, including (most notably):
Sea Lion
Humpback whale
Orca / Killer whale
various species of fish
and more!
He was the main cause to RuralLights entity outbreak, and is to be captured or killed on sight.
Extra design notes are stated below!
Everests tag - Everest Eclipse RuralLight (may be shortened) (we added just Everest eclipse)
Intro post is out! Pfp and banner are changed for the blog!
Everests design and art will be out within the next week, along with Morays and possibly Animator!
RuralLight is almost ready (weāre sorry itās taken this long, we have a slow artist and still donāt have a permanent storyline. I hope people even find this blog)
Good news! We have two full character sheets done! It may not seem like a lot but once we have extra details done for this account Rural Light and its associates will be much more active!
Look forward for more about our lore and again, feel free to ask questions, give story suggestions, and force us to doodle more (we need to focus)
