OCEAN THEMED AVATARS (because I don’t think Johnny used the ocean to its full potential)
A deep sea themed avatar of the Buried
the pressure is greater than you ever imagined crushing through your bones and organs and flattening you against nothing but water and pressure that feels like concrete and nothing can live down here but the things that were made to be crushed and beneath and never see the sky and there’s no air only water filling up your lungs and you can’t breathe and it hurts so badly
An ocean open themed avatar of the Vast
it’s so blue, where is the sky, where is the water, where do they begin and end? There’s nothing here, when was the last time you saw even the tiniest fish swim by? Your legs are cramping, you can’t keep swimming, but if you stop you’ll sink into the threatening blue below where the shadows far too large to be real stir and never stop
A deep sea themed avatar of the Dark
So dark. So cold. Even artificial lights are swallowed by the gloom. Sometimes you feel the water shift, see a blinking light of red or blue or green or white but the light only scares you more because you know it’s a distraction from what the dark is hiding behind it made of bristling teeth and gaping jaws
A deep sea creature themed avatar of the Flesh
Oh god, what is that? Does it even have bones? Organs? How many eyes does it have? Where are they? Does it even have eyes, or is it all mouth and a stomach? And when you bring it to the surface it explodes, becoming nothing more than a squishy flabby mass of shapeless flesh and what corrupted god created these things?!
A shark themed avatar of the Hunt
a drop of blood in a half a mile of water, muscles warm and powerful as you soar, slamming out of the waves and into the prey that never saw you coming, rows and rows of serrated teeth to catch and grab and tear and cut and rend and you’re shaking your head your jaw out of your skull and locked in place your eyes gone dark with pure feeding glee and then the water is red and the scent is everywhere and you’re nothing more than adrenaline and instinct and you’ve never felt more alive--
