LAST LIFE APOCALYPSE AU DESIGNS

[notes. Lots of them. Undercut]

For an au that’s existed for ~2 years, here are the official designs of 16/18 of the main cast!

[note: Scar and Joel will have their separate post. They are m.i.a for a reason]

Focus this time was less in my usual figurative and more realistic when it came to the clothing (as if live action) — carefully considering what practical things and uses each person would have at the start of the apocalypse

At the same time using my artstyle the best I can to make otherwise mundane clothes interesting through how it is worn by each person, what silhouette and implications does it evoke.

Forgot to post my artfight card on here!! Was so busy with actually drawing refs it passed my mind!! Will try my best to revenge any attacks!! :D https://artfight.net/~theroboticscientist !

[mcytscienceside]

what kind of infection are these guys facing? Is it a classic zombie virus or something else entirely? Is there anyone so far who is completely gone?

Love the art, by the way

Ty so much for the question!! :D Happy to see people interested in this au!! @gearstorm actually has written up a whole document describing the infection from Pix's pov! I'll put the first part here but if anyone wants more information surrounding infection levels and the strange glitch itself it will be under the read more! --- Glitch Infection Journal Section 2; The glitch By Pixlriffs

Entry #1 stages, symptoms and tracking

It would be good to keep written documentation of what we refer to by many names, but mostly the glitch infection. Because we don't know where it came from, or why, or even how it works beyond observation. 

This ‘infection’ is a glitch that gets into the very core of a player's being and changes their mental and emotional state, only affecting the physical appearance slightly in late stages. We initially thought that those without symptoms were glitch free but using my watcher powers, I've taught myself and Mumbo how to see the infectious code separate from the player code it infects. And now we know that we all have it, but early stages are asymptomatic, treatable but not curable yet, and thankfully not yet contagious. Unfortunately it is also imperceivable without looking directly at the player's code, which is why it's so important that I maintain constant watch of the others with my powers.

I have made a scale to refer to it with. Who had it first and how they got it to the point of being contagious is unknown as most of the server had it by the time we were aware of it. 

A scale of 1-10, here is what each number means.

0, no one but Hermes is completely clean of the virus. He was lucky enough to not go near anyone who was infected to the point of being contagious when this started and has been kept safe since.

1-2, the infection is treatable. It will never go down to 0 unless we find a cure, but it will only go up when around those at 4 or higher and go down with isolation from those whom are contagious. Though it seems other factors affect this. I have no definitive proof, but the current hypothesis towards it is your physical health has something to do with it. Supporting this, is I have been sitting at 2 for some time now without going down but I am also recovering from severe injuries. Meanwhile Joel is suffering in the mental health department but his levels go from 1.5 to 1 at the same rate as Oli who is better off then both of us. 

3-3.5, you have gone past the point of natural recovery. I have yet the chance to observe if 2.5 is too far but do not wish to test it. This is when you'd first notice something is wrong, Shelby having been able to tell without my Sight, but it is subtle according to her. Like a slight itch or pinching in your chest. Easily missable if you weren't paying attention for it. You are unlikely to experience changes to personality at this stage and are not contagious. But your infection will now increase no matter what you do. Proximity to those who are contagious affecting the speed of your own level of infection at this stage remains untested.

4-5, early stages of the infection taking noticeable effect. You are now contagious. Your sanity decreases quickly and significantly, personality changes leading to inability to express empathy and masochistic behavior, and slips of memory occur frequently. As well as violent urges but these seem slightly less common depending on will power. Not being aware you are infected greatly increases vulnerability to these urges.

6-7, Most infected at this stage are unable to recognize bonds and connections to other players, exceptions occurring when the connection was built during early stages of sanity lost in which case they seem to become dependent on each other willing to do anything to protect what little they now hold dear. Players act in cruel and violent ways they never would have done before they got infected, such as building deadly traps and attacking one another on sight. Screaming matches, psychological manipulation, and violent attempts to protect their perceived territory are common.

8-9, all previously mentioned behaviors become even worse. Conversation only occurs when the infected is trying to manipulate you or harm you emotionally or mentally. Depending on what behaviors they have developed as forms of violence, they are likely to try to capture you either for crossing territory, being perceived as a threat, or in worst cases simply for being seen. And will not hesitate to torture you how they see fit when they have you. Their memories seem to become selective at this point, falling to madness and only knowing lust for violence and torment.

10, the only one so far I've seen at 10 is Jimmy. But opposite to Joel's Lore powers, Jimmy is connected to the powers of Law. The order of the world. Truthfully I do not know the extent of his power, but what I do know is the server is sick. Joel tells me Jimmy is likely reflecting the world itself rather than being infected the same way the others are. Fortunately, the world itself does not seem to count as being near contagious stage infection. Unfortunately, Jimmy himself is still contagious. Learned the hard way when we lost Shelby. He acts the most cruel of all the infected server members. I hope that when we find a cure, he doesn't remember what he's done. I don't blame him for what happened and don't want to see him blame himself.

Communication with the hermitcraft server is rough, being done between two watchers, one of which is not used to the abilities granted to him. Still this road of communication has led to a lot of insight into the situation of the other server. Pix continues to write about the survivors not only of his own server, but of Hermitcraft as well. Along with beginning to document the changes in those infected. This isn't everyone however, just the original survivors (and one infected grian), before a strange group from elsewhere inevitably comes to help aid the cause...wonder who that will be.

I’m very curiously looking at @mcytscienceside ‘s Empires infection au and felt like doodling Pix from it

[mcytscienceside]

It hit so suddenly, and without warning, an infection that ravaged the minds of people; Turning them into twisted versions of themselves. They will not listen, they only want to hurt, and with all morals gone the players of the server have split between the infected looking to cause as much harm as possible and the survivors attempting to locate a cure. It is unknown how the infection started, only that it's here now, and the small group of survivors up in Stratos attempt to figure out some sort of cure with their limited communication with an equally infected Hermitcraft. ---- Woowww! okay these took a while!! Been discussing with @gearstorm an infection au for Empires and Hermitcraft; This infection mostly effects the mind, making the infected incredibly hostile and aggressive, looking to hurt anyone just for the fun of it. This is the Empires team! Led by Joel and continuing to survive as they communicate with the survivors of Hermitcraft in hopes of finding a cure for all of their friends. (And just to say anything over 2.5 level infection is too late to turn back, everyone is technically infected in their code already, but it only becomes dangerous after level 2. :D )

THERE IS AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION THAT MUST BE DRAWN BETWEEN THE WORDS DISSECTION AND VIVISECTION, A DISTINCTION THAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE LOST ON YOU.

@mcythorrorgiftexchange for @theroboticscientist !!! something about the inherent psychological torture of not knowing whats under your skin. man. no one gets him properly he has so much horror potnetial in the grand scheme of things. not even knowing if youre real or anything? im insaneim crazay

[mcytscienceside]

*You pass by a painting, it's hard to make out in the dark, but You believe it is the demon and...someone else. Finally get to post this for the @mcythorrorgiftexchange ! My gift is for @mochitoaster ! Hope you don't mind that I went a bit more subtle with the horror aspects, but I think they still come through, it was absolutely a blast to draw this! :D

[mcytscienceside]

Been pretty quiet because of school and everything but will say i'll probably be drawing more hermit, sos, and other smp content for a bit! Qsmp will still be here, I feel like leaving all the art and au's I have in the works would be very hard, and I wanna keep making content for the admins and cc's who made the server the amazing place it is! Plus y'all on qsmpblr ain't gonna get rid of me that easy, i'm gonna keep working on royal au, and hey maybe if things don't pan out i'll make it an oc story with all of your guys help <3 In other words, sticking around, but probably gonna do more of other smp content in the meantime <3

[mcytscienceside]

May I ask for perfumes for some mcyts!

Badboy, jimmy, jaiden!

A nice trio for the soul hehe

GRABBING THIS, YOU, OUGH-

so considering I know who this is, the one for Bad we've semi-talked about before of course hehe, we agreed that he would most definitely smell in some capacity akin to baked goods. Like, yes traditional gourmands and whatnot for his perfume, but also something a bit warm spicy, grainy and smoky. In the past i've likened it to like, a well-baked focaccia. I'm thinking rich olive oil, (especially with its spiritual use and connotation, what better for a demon?) grain and pepper and of course the lovely gourmand sweetness. For him, I'll give Ade ale Van: Soul Tattoo - outlaw's elixir

Going to put the others under the cut (plus stressmonster as an extra, I saw someone tag stress and figured I'd add that here too!)

Okay, so jimmy to me reads so very much like warmth as well, but less of a spice warmth like bad and more of an 'oats and honey' feel. I am completely biased to sheriff and rancher jimmy though so- DFGHNMJ. Like, I'm thinking sun on skin, light grass floral, with heavy hay and rich sweetness. Like he totally just got distracted with work and sure, hes got a sunburn now, but all his hard work really paid off. For him, I'm going to go with Hayloft from Pineward Perfumes

Jaiden immediately struck me as two notes: iris and metal. WEIRD COMBO I KNOW BUT HEAR ME OUT. I miss q!jaiden a lot and I think the slight tinge of metal, maybe from being in the lab, along with calming/mildly suffocating florals, it just seems right yk! The sterility of the scent would be the key, and I think mixing something like ginger to elevate it would make it feel almost... dirty-sterile? if that makes sense. For her, I'm going limited complexity, DS & Durga's Spirit Lamp

Last one for the night is Stress! I saw whomever reblogged had said florals, and mud, and of COURSE that just seems like a given. For me personally, I of course am going to hc her as a monster and so she definitely has an air of 'wrongness' to her <3 I'm thinking dewy, muddy (of course) and heavy on the grass and floral. She packs a punch and she knows it. Rose Fantome by LVNEA

RAH this was really fun actually, I want to do this more, if people want to give me more mcyts in my askbox hehe. I have some more to respond to which I'll do after work :) gonna brainstorm

[mcytscienceside]
