#kraizen check

[hypnofantasma]

viability check!!! Heres a ton of em lol

Nothin on psionics rn this is purely just... designs

(sorry for varying quality a lot of these are just concept sketches)

THESE GUYS ARE ALL SO COOL I love your art a ton!! They have such a fun flow and I love the shapes you use sm

The only viability note is with the final one- they're COVERED in Brands, where Vani only have 1 Brand or one "Brand Set" (like Xelzerin's horns or Insinera's remaining skin strips). With all of these Brands, this kwaiz would be VERY easily slain by others! That's a LOT of weak points.

Perhaps they're fake Brands? In that case, if you want to have fake Brands, you can help differentiate the fake Brands from the real Brand by shading the real Brand differently (because they lightly glow)! That, or depict the fact that the real Brand cycles like their eyes, while the fake ones don't cycle because they're just normal skin? Stuff like that!

The rest of them are A-OK! :]

hednlo viability check for verqivano perhaps?

theyre a wonder sembla and their quirk is that the faux mouth on their stomach is kinda as a hammerspace/magic hat type of deal that they can summon and take objects out of!

Looks good to me!! Verqi is juno APPROVED

i heard smth abt viability checks,,,,? (big squid guy's brand isnt visible in the drawing but he has one!!)

I THINK THEYRE ALL EPIC!! no issues here! :]

Viability check!

She's got this ruff of plants growing from her, having to do with her psionics (stars' vines). She's heavily inspired by the kudzu plant, and how it grows over everything it touches. I also took some inspiration from the Brillos whales from the visual novel South Scrimshaw, where the plants grow from a spongy patch of flesh on the Brillos. But, since Kraizenian internal temperatures are pretty high, I'm not sure how well that would work now. But, seeing as she's a smaller Kwaiz, she doesn't need as much energy. Thus, she has a lower temperature.

Still, I'm unsure.

Thanks for reading! Have a nice day, Mx. Saturna!

All Kraizen have that higher internal temperature that remains consistent across all individuals, and size isn't a factor into internal temperatures anyway (see animals like hummingbirds and cats, whose internal temperatures are higher than humans!). This high internal temperature is less an energy thing and more of a byproduct of their digestion system and such, which functions like a furnace or machine.

HOWEVER, their skin layer is EXTREMELY good at keeping all of that heat inside of them. In fact, ALL Kraizen are, to the touch, whatever the surrounding environment is. If it's cold, they feel cool, if it's hot, they feel hot. In a normal human household room, their skin would feel the same exact temperature as any random piece of fabric in the room.

A situation like the Brillo whales is actually very plausible! A thicker skin layer, which can allow for the rooting of plants, would be safe from their higher internal temperatures. So that's all good!

Only thing now would be HOW the plants stay, which I think is still good because if they're rooted directly into the skin, she wouldn't need to constantly apply psionics, which means she'll be safe from overuse.

I say she's all good then!! :]

Viability check! Heres my boy Yntryda he has Spirit as his Sembla, the blue slits on his neck are his equivalent to nostrils also neat little fact his mantis arms are switchlimbs.

Love this guy's vibes and color palette a ton!!

I was going to mention that all Kraizen need black pupils, but I think that's not an issue here. they're all good! :]

Okay now this is a viability check though in particular this is for ESP

Essentially Minasthos has some old burn wound scars on his wings and I was thinking of it being either Light or Fire ESP?? essentially if exposed to direct light for long periods of time he'll start to feel burning there as if he was being reinjured (though it's just the pain and it's not actually burning- sort of a phantom pain thing) the glowing part is sorta just design Flavoring to kinda show it but yeah

Sounds like Light ESP to me since Light activates it! I can def see it being an ESP manifestation

Viability check! My kraizen has a false head looking hand, It doesn't have eyes or nostrils, functions just like a normal hand/claw thing, but it does have it's own set of jestears. Just wanted to know if that part was allowed or not. It just uses its psionics to put people to sleep for a few hours, although its amplifier on the mercy Mission ramps this up to being able to put several people at a time asleep forever.

I like how the fake head still looks like a claw, and not like a literal head! Looks all good to me! :]

Side note, crazy coincidence with the name! An older canon Plume kwaiz was named Synfria!

[hypnofantasma]

unsure if this counts as a viability check or if it'd be something else but this is a kwaizified Big Bird from Lob Corp and I'm wondering if it'd need alterations to the design if I were to go full OC with the concept asking because I did give them a bit more development beyond just "haha funny what if design" and it feels almost oc-ish??? though idk the rules of AU-making dkjfldkfjldfkj (and also I don't think I'm gonna kwaizify any other Abnos??? so it'd be a one-off characters) mainly started because Big Bird is practically already a kwaiz in Lob Corp (ring eyes and has the exact same mindset as the Vani) and it was a silly because I had art block and then I gave them lore and a kwaiz name dlkfjdlkfdkfdkfl

If you wanna keep it as an AU, it'd be fine as is!

If you wanna make them a derived non-AU Kraizen, I'd further change some things up to change it from an AU what-if, to just an inspired design. Stuff like adding some details like jestears or horns, changing the body shape up, etc. Something that makes you go, "hey, they remind me of Big Bird!" instead of "oh, is that just Big Bird?" if that makes sense!
