She shuffled around in her seat, fruitlessly trying to press herself to the window to get a good view of the sprawling city before her.
"There in the middle, is that the Super Reactor? It's real?"
"Course it is," the rather blunt woman next to her replied, "It's our pride and joy for a reason. Mesmerizing, isn't it? I never quite get sick of lookin' at it myself."
The woman was right, she could barely comprehend what it even was. A massive pillar of swirling liquid and color, several hundred stories in size, so bright and illuminated even against the neon city of the future before her that it almost hurts to look at, said to be able to power the city for years, decades even, if it broke down. . .
All of it, the whole Reactor, an impossible marvel in engineering and magic, was real. Here she is, too, seeing it all for herself. In such a situation, she couldn't help but mutter;
i wonder if i should do the number thing again.
ehh, sure why not
hey!! you can give a number 1-25, and i'll draw the one it corresponds to on my "to-design" list!!
each correlates with a song oc to be designed!! so you get more designs, too!!
i have far too many idea swirling around in my lil head for various song ocs now. mostly based off of wacca songs. waaaaaa.
technically, lhaksha is actually the. third one i designed? i'll let you guess who the first and second ones are (hint: they're two boss songs that came out in a different update of wacca than lhaksha >>:)) )
but!! for now, enjoy me trying to make a very flowy design. i hope it worked.
(some intense rambling, as a treat, under the cut)
---------- oh look, a visual divider -------------
ok, SO
i kind of ran into the issue, when developing the world these lil guys live in, was "why are they based off of songs/have song based abilities?", as well as "what are these people based off of songs? are they human? something else? something in between?"
such and such like that
and my answer to that is: "they're enhanced humans, of some variety"
i decided to call them "Aspects", as in "they have an aspect of a song". for the most part, the world they live in is mostly made up of humans, with a limited number of these 'aspects' running around.
and, of course, these aspects have abilities based off of the songs they're based on (lhaksha here, for example, has healing based abilities, as well as a few. . . "quirks", let's say. lol.), the most powerful being aspects based off of boss songs (for wacca, that's songs like invisible frenzy, dangerooous jungle, dimension hacker, ephmr, crimson emperor, etc). most aspects are either born with or acquire their abilities, and those aspects can always be lost or even transferred into other people or objects (to which if it's in an object, it's an "Artifact" rather than an aspect).
so it's "a part of you" that can always be lost for a wide variety of reasons, and if you were to die, it's not destroyed either. it can be reclaimed or picked up by someone else, or placed into an object and made to have a specific function. no two people have the exact same aspect at the exact same time, but many people can have the same one over many years.
i specify this because some of this. actually happens!! at least. with my first few drafts i have in mind. (and cause i like thinking of everything. lol.)
but imma leave it there for now. i'll do more rambling once i finish cooking (drawing) the others. wa
