energy using elemental force?

this is a very dangerous passage; what if people started thinking about trying to use visions as a source of energy since it can be used to channel elemental energy and is powered by a person's will?

— from rene's investigation notes

it doesn't really help that fontaine is facing a huge power crisis right now. 🤷‍♀️

A character named 'VO-53080' made for an upcoming DnD game, based off the ruin machines in Genshin Impact.

I tried to get it close to the in game style of rendering, but hand paint the textures was truly a grueling experience just to have most of the edge work covered with freestyle lines. :,] I think the end result turned out alright though!

Lore: Coequally known as a 'Ruin Drone' by the people of Teyvat, VO-53080 is a designation of machine from the time of Khaenri'ah. During this time, the people of the city began experimenting with elemental energy drawn from the Ley Lines, condensing it into an energy source known as 'Azosite.' The rise of Azosite heralded the rise of the 'Ruin Drone,' a specialized machine manufactured as the first complex, practical application for the new energy source.

This easy to produce, highly configurable machine saw many technological break throughs during its service. Elemental energy was able to be syphoned from the Azosite energy core using specialized coils on the its back, while focusing arrays distributed this energy throughout the system to power the machine and infuse it with elemental energy. The successes of the 'Ruin Drone' revolutionized understandings of thermodynamics and brought new perspectives to the people of Khaenri'ah. Unfortunately, the technology behind Azosite and its eventual phase out progressed rapidly, causing the 'Ruin Drone' machines to quickly became defunct and obsolete.

As a testament to the proficiency of the Khaenrian engineers, many of the remaining 'Ruin Drones' continue to function to this day. Though worn and rusted, the coils still maintain their ability to draw elemental energy from their cores; however, with the inhibitors that once regulated such intakes no longer functioning the coils now charge to an overloaded state, forcefully dissipating the energy into the world and making them a danger to both flora and fauna in the area. Adventurers are cautioned to stay clear, should they come across one of the few 'Ruin Drakes' still roaming the wilds today.

Through circumstances unknown, VO-53080 has formed a state of semi mechanical-consciousness after the fall of Khaenri'ah. Most knowledge of its life in the ancient city has been lost to time, though many of its core combat functions remain.
