Comic doesn't flow all that well, but I just needed to shit the idea out. So uh, my Cryptic fucking died in the span of two turns. Like, from full health to negative con score, aka straight up full on dead. So that was nice.
i really wanna kno why zen was created tho cause in-universe the omnic crisis was 30 years ago right? and zenyatta is canonically 25 right?? like who just allows omnics to be created 5 years after a world war against the omnics. i mean they're robots they can't be born accidentally, they have to be created for a reason. was zenyatta brought into the world Like That or did he have a life before becoming a robot monk? please blizzard none of this makes sense
iirc zenyatta is… 20… you’re right why does he exist. did the shambali create new omnics? are omnics just still being produced? also like what is the average lifespan of an omnic? do they ever die? when did they start being created? are they first-class citizens? can zenyatta vote? where does he get energy from, is he solar powered? does he need to charge himself up at night, like a phone? do they eat anything? do they pay the same taxes as humans? are omnics programmed with basic knowledge or do they learn along the way like humans? are omnic babies a thing? how far from the ground can zenyatta levitate? mr chu??
i like how the ow writers didnt explain zenyatta's powers because they want to "leave things to the imagination". like smh he can literally hurt or heal people by manipulating their emotions give us some lore about that!! for what purpose was zen created? what allows him to Do That? does he have hobbies besides meditation and Wise Sage Advice? also while were on the topic of weird magic whats the deal with the spirit dragons. like dont just put magic in your universe but never use it...
G-D I KNOW I GO TO HIS BIO SOMETIMES AND THEY ONLY TALK ABT THE IDEOLOGY OF THE SHAMBALI AND HOW SPIRITUAL AND MENTORY ZEN IS… MR CHU YOU HAVE A MAGICAL FLYING ROBOT WITH HEALING POWERS. PERHAPS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING INTERESTING WITH THAT.
Rare pic of natural haired Clo. Normally uses the Prestidigitation cantrip to straighten it-- Imagine how easy life would be with such a thing?
(also look at that cute psicrystal, omg)
On the Plane of Shadows and some ten thousand years after the devastation of the Great Magic War that ended with the death of the gods, one particular fetchling society developed into a corporatocratic empire.
Clo and Adriel Ferryman of the Ferryman Corporation, based in the Holy Umbral Empire. A couple of rebellious siblings from the Pathfinder+3.5 game I’ve been in for a couple years. Character summary bits below the cut~
Clo Ferryman was considered to have high potential and was expected to go into politics, but ze had no talent or taste for lying. Eventually ze went into homeland security and later rebelled against the empire because “oh noes, maybe fascism and slavery are wrong”. Tortured with the rest of zir allies but spared execution due to noble status and the family’s characteristic reluctance to waste a resource that could be married off. Later faked zir own death and fled to the material plane, determined to gather the power and knowledge needed to fix the problems in xir homeland and the universe at large.
Is currently a Magical Girl, is in relationship hell, has too much bloodlust for someone who tries to help and spare everyone, and is mutually obsessed with at least one demon problem.
Adriel Ferryman was born from the same mother and father, but was one of many who came out as a tiefling and was hidden from the public eye. Unlike the others, she looked fully human and could pass as a fetchling with “throwback traits”. Her horns are just barely visible under her hair. She spent her days locked in a lab and in isolation, working on projects and tending to a father who was either in his work or out of his mind. She views people as projects as well, and she tends to them with as much care and as little empathy. Clo is her favorite, so she went with zir into exile. She remained cooped up in her own lab while Clo went adventuring for months until she got a distress message about a bunch of nonsense and some sort of demon problem.
Is currently fixing an actual literal space ship, alienating everyone she doesn’t understand very well with her casual cruelty, and tending to her usual project.
