not happy with the designs, but i like the idea that Priestess & Oracle / Doctor had friends before everything went wrong™️
ideas + canon references below the cut
Friston / The Preserver
also The Photographer [Friston-3 has a camera] [Friston-3 Trust Tap]
has a wife/daughter [Friston-3 Talk after Trust 3]
gold hair like his daughter (like Kristen) [Ep 15-11]
at least 60 years old [Friston-3 Talk 2]
I like to think his daughter would doodle often. Which is why Friston-3 makes use of “expression doodles”
Ed / The Security
Owned a restaurant. The last person to still slay and butcher animals [ARG#3 Oracle’s Voice Diary]
I like to think he’s one of the last (besides Oracle) to keep using their real names instead of codenames. Because “he opposed forgetting” [Oracle’s Voice Diary]. Because the PCS wanted to retain individual cognition and personalities, even if they were connected [The Masses’ Travels MT-9-Before].
Among all of them (besides Priestess), he and Oracle seemed to leave on the worst terms— at least based on Oracle’s tone in [Oracle’s Voice Diary]
I like to think she has long hair, flowing like water. I don’t think it should be tied up but (1) Priestess’ hair is already down (2) I legitimately cannot take the image of Limbus Hong Lu off her
Would be funny if she has weird eating habits like the Seaborn (and Oracle)
They seem to be pretty close even; Oracle’s gentlest when speaking to her [Oracle’s Voice Diary]
Probably willing to be sacrificed for the sake of others (like the Seaborn)
Ama-10 / Kal’tsit
i actually can’t tell if she was humanoid yet [Ep 15-8-Before has her purring ??]
But she definitely chose to take Terran / Feline features at some resurrection point
Kal’tsit i love you
Priestess
canon design surprisingly has subtle rhombus shapes. i just accentuated them
i think it’s funny if she and Oracle were disgustingly codependent. Even back then, they make their relationship (whatever it is) everyone’s problem
Priestess I hate you (i will do everything i can to understand you)
Oracle / Doctor
i will die defending they/them canon
Short, messy hair to contrast Priestess’
Hair has that weird 1 long strand at the side, like Kal’tsit
Predecessor coat design roughly from [Eclipse MV]
They seem to eventually feel alienated by their own friends [Babel BB-ST-3, where they mention that others preferred to call them Oracle instead of Doctor, aka a more grounded role which aims to save lives] (i will finish my analysis on this someday)
