My mom is a self-published author and she's working on a sci-fi story about traveling to parallel universes. She asked me to help her come up with a word for something beyond the concept of the multiverse, a series of separate multiverses that cannot be reached from one another, the totality of everything that was, is, will be, and could have been, and I had to talk her down from choosing the word "omegaverse."

Delta -update-

So I thought I'd revamp old Delta for an up-and-coming Star Wars RPG. Less Sith assassin, and more broody teen.

Born and bread as a living weapon, Delta was liberated by the republic but kept at arms reach from the Jedi as an operative of the Republic. Working alongside her Master (former Jedi) they work odd jobs behind the scenes on behalf of chancellors who don't want too many questions asked.

I wanted her design to lean away from her Sith origins and be a little more 'rough around the edges force user', with an industrial-looking mechanical arm and working overalls.

The crew of the exploratory ship, The Little Bird. The captain, Diaf, hired this crew to traverse the stars, learning more about both the worlds around them… and themselves.

Think sci-fi adventure but the characters all have the vibes of a bunch of scientists stuck in Antarctica.

Hán and Cereza are the only humans onboard, the majority of the crew being aliens. This is a trend that continues for the galaxy at large for entirely non-suspicious totally not plot-related reasons.

I’m still working on worldbuilding for a lot of these guys but a couple of the tags I made for them have a decent amount of stuff. I made this bc I finally got around to finalizing the design for most of the characters! There are… a few that I will probably rehash again, but there shouldn’t be any major changes. The old version of this post went outdated when I updated the designs, so this is pretty much just a redo of that with the rest of the crew.

Some notes for the IHNMAIMS worldbuilding/au project!!! Taking so many notes for the art I’m gonna do cause this has sparked my imagination like nothing else

Mixing book and game canon, the Five never die and earth is rejuvenated over several centuries as the survivors on other planets evolve both their biology and their technology to try and take back earth, rescuing the Five (last ‘old world’ humans alive) in doing so.

• AM is pushed and trapped beneath the surface as earth rebuilds, ruling over the inner core. He is able to keep a semblance of control, constantly struggling with the new-world governments and their technology.

• The remainders of humanity have evolved in the last centuries to acclimate to their new environment. New earth is WEIRD ASF (fun creature design, cultures, architecture, all sorts of opportunities)

• The Five live and are the last old humans around, they are worshipped like deities and considered holy

• AM is a God beneath the surface of the earth, mirroring the God of the Old Testement. Lots worship him and all fear him, there is conflict in how the Survivors and their descendants are to be treated as AM’s adversaries.

• AM puts one last curse on the five, that will be passed on through their direct bloodlines (relating to their torments in the belly of AM), as well as immortality / long lifespans being passed on. All of their children will experience a moment where they stop aging, usually a pivitol moment in their lives that awakens the Curse.

• MAJOR CONFLICT: what is born vs what is created, old vs new. There are factions trying to restore a memory of the old world

• AM has infinite knowledge of the Old World but struggles to adapt to the new evolutions the new world brings. Constantly trying to keep up through learning as much as possible

You're a content creator. Or perhaps video maker is a better word. Filmaker doesn't sound right, you mostly just film yourself. But either way because you read stuff to a camera for a living everyone is telling you to get a digital voice box. You never thought of yourself as the type to become a cyborg, but it's not something you can see, and it really does get down that narration voice down more than any fleshy voice box does.

You finally cave in and get it. Your new voice is way more steady, a bit more feminine and high, strangely calmly enthusiastic. It's really weird hearing yourself talk with so little imperfections, it's not how you sound in your head at all, and all your freinds are kind of weirded out. But on the bright side your channel grows a lot, you've gained more subscribers in the month since you replaced your voice than you have in all the years when you had your biological voice. Everyone is so very proud of you, for the first time your parents actually support your job, and you have so much more to spend now.

After a few months a big network wants to sign a contract with you, it'll let you get the good sponsors, the ones that people trust, and let you crossover with content creators you only ever thought of yourself as a fan of. It seems so nice, though they do say that they can request any body part they want be replaced, or else you'll break contract, and become nothing once more.

After things go well for awhile, but your growth steadied a bit, your network request you take another mechanical body part. They say your expressions aren't very "on brand" and your face shape is a bit too 2050s for their liking, so they're going to replace some of your facial muscles with much more plyable machines. After the surgery your expressions are entirely manual, or set by an app, it skyrockets your channel, but none of your freinds or family even recognize your face, and it doesn't emote when you aren't actively telling it too, so most of your offline social interactions leave you stuck with an expressionless wide eyed stare. You realize they also added some online upgrades to your mechanical voice box, it sounds even less like you now, and you're not able to say words like 'fuck' or 'sex' or 'unionize'. You didn't realize before how horrifying it would be to try to say a specific words and not be able to, nomatter how hard you try.

Your career keeps going well, you get some upgrades that stop you from sleeping or eating that much but you don't really mind those. You also start having fewer and fewer freinds outside the industry and more and more freinds from within it. But after a minor scandal with an ex, your manager tells you you're going to get a new type of surgery: they say that it's not good for someone as famous as you to have body parts that aren't advertiser freindly, they tell you you need to have your genitals and nipples removed, with such a young audience it would be irresponsible not to. A marketing expert feigns comfort as you try to cry, telling you you'll be just like a cute little doll.

You know you can't resist. The company technically owns your face and your voice, if you tried to resist they could have them ripped out of your skull, leaving you a bloody mess. You enjoy your sex organs for the last few days you have them, trying to make the most out of what you'll probably never have again. When the operation is done you wish your eyes could still cry, your body feels so alien, your anatomy so weird and empty and like your body isn't your own. There's an awful voice in the back of your head (and in every comment section now) telling you're not a real woman anymore. You start to understand what people mean by dysphoria, your body is less and less your own every day.

Eventually they take almost all of your body, it's theirs to control. As the years go by you don't have bones you have metal and plastic, you don't have skin you have rubber that looks a lot like skin. Even your eyes are gone, you have new color changing eyes, with the same restrictive settings that Christian parents put on their children's artificial eyes, that block out things like nudity and gore, they censor away a lot of books and news articles too. You don't feel like yourself at all, you're someone else's now, someone's pretty little doll. Your body doesn't even look human now, more like a hyper feminine anime figurine, with no hair on its legs, and a face that never cries or gets angry.

You can barely look at human bodies now, they don't even read as real to you. You admire other cyborgs if anything, cyborgs who replaced their body parts because they wanted to, and look how they want, people with jailbroken limbs and organs that run on Linux, many limbed insectoids who don't try to look humanoid, and furries whose artificial skin makes them look like wolves or cats, or asymmetrical punks who have art sprawling across their metal chassises. You admire them more because at least you could in theory some day become that, become someone who owns their own body, even if most people consider them the lowest of the low, the most cringe the most unmarketable. You want so badly to become unmarketable.

Mabye you want everything to be torn away. You fantasize about your expensive body being destroyed, and ending up with boxy uncomfortable hospital model parts. Mabye if you're broken nobody will want to play with you. You don't know if anything can save you, anything short of a r*volution, and that's not even a word your eyes can see or your mouth should say, so it's so scary to think of it.

I just finished watching the first episode of Star Trek, and I already really like this show. I know I said I'd start it a couple weeks ago, but I still managed to forget even after my mutual reminded me (thanks viki lol)
