hi, i wanted to know, is there an in-universe logic to your ocs not dying by just floating in space? i got the sense that their all dead because of that one thing about 1081 having the creepy figurine "since he stopped breathing" or something like that in the game, but since o54 does actually die i am kind of confused
hi that's uh. a Lot to answer. tysm for asking btw!!
first, they're not dead! (unless they died through the story), that's all i can actually confirm. in canon they can't die unless they're killed (which is why they can breathe anywhere), but that's only the focus of the first part of the story, and i haven't actually done anything for it yet. all the games take place in the third part as of august 2022.
the actual explanation i gave in the draft for 1081's comment (this one)
..is that it's just nonsense meant to make things more complicated. 1081 and Pr3tt do that a lot.
death in this specific oc project is weird, to say the least. it's no longer a given for the characters, but most of them are doomed anyways- o54 must die, the man on the sun must die, the world must end- and it does so three times (though you can only see two in the games). the story as a whole focuses on life rather than death and at the expense of it, so it IS a recurrent element, but it's not really feared as much as it is resented.
as for the skulls and the sun guy (who i am assuming it's the person mentioned in the ending of the third game), and just all the sun imagery in general, it's like a cultural thing in-game -for the time being. we'll see what i do with it next time i get the chance to make a little project.
does that make sense? keep in mind that i am just some guy and don't know much about worldbuilding and making interesting stuff. it's all for fun :]
