#Alchemical Rebis (Headcanons)

((More Gender Things.

Most often, they are themself, which I've said before, but. Along with being Marika or Radagon or both, she is sometimes Radagon, and he is sometimes Marika. As I've also said, they're genderfluid, entirely so; though using the quote-unquote "opposite" pronouns is rare, it does/will happen at times. Sometimes they might use the same pronouns/presentation for an entire interaction; sometimes their pronouns might shift; sometimes their presentation might shift, with or without their pronouns, and vice versa.

I feel kind of like a broken record, but have this anyway.))

With Ridley Scott's new lore about Engineers and David and shit being implemented to effectively divorce Alien from the Predator universe, I have a headcanon about how and why the Alien came from multiple sources.

What if the Xenomorph is virtually a Rebis? "The perfect organism" as it is widely known. For those who don't know, in alchemical terms, the Rebis is the ultimate end product of all alchemy. If the Xeno is truly as perfect as it's hyped up to be then wouldn't it stand to reason that the ultimate end goal of fucking around with Engineer black goop is creating a Xeno?

This would explain why both the Yautja, Engineers and David managed to churn out Xenos independently of one another.

Happy Pride Month! I thought it would be a good time to ask for personal headcanons about Nosramus, LGBTQ+-related or general are both fine. I think the alchemist is pretty neat.

Happy Pride Month to you too! 💜

They're just general headcanons, but I headcanon Nosramus as originally being female and always having a bit of an androgynous edge to her. I like the idea of her being a gal because the first game doesn't have too many ladies, and I like the idea of a mysterious alchemist lady.

Through her studies of alchemy, she used her own body to create her magnum opus, the Rebis, and has both sets of sex characteristics, fully complete and functional.

The Creation of Life studies are related to her studies into the Rebis and the alchemical magnum opus. They probably would've come before the complete transformation.

I should draw Nosramus. I really love drawing long, flowing hair, and her Rapunzel-y white-gold hair would be so fun to do!

Sexuality and gender-wise, I can see Nosramus having an unspecified preference in partners of any sex or gender. She'd also not have a concrete view of her own gender, being fine with those seeing her as a man, woman, both, or neither. A very fluid and ambiguous sense of self-identity, I suppose. Her sexuality is "sure why not" and her gender is "cool wizard :)".

Which is kinda related to how I view my own sexuality and gender, but that's a topic for another time.

Anyway I'm also gonna plug a video I made on Marriages because it's related to this discussion. blease subscrub and ring dat bell uwu i love making videos

((I don't believe Marika orchestrated the Knight of Black Knives, or had anything to do with it, for that matter. However, it was what eventually cemented their decision to shatter the Elden Ring, since that night was what made them "search the depths of the Golden Order." I believe they discovered that removing/sealing Destined Death was a mistake, and that shattering the Ring to be Reforged by whomever became the next/Final Elden Lord was the only way to fix it. That said, I'm unsure if they -- in general -- knew/know what happened to Godwyn's corpse. Have to think about that more.))

((I go with a different translation for Radagon's Golden Order Greatsword. It only resembles the Full Moon Greatsword, the gift given to him by Rennala at their wedding, rather than being an altered version of it.))

((The first real crack in their faith in the Greater Will, came from being ordered -- forced -- to shun, cast out their own children. Themself chosen as Empyrean, a Numen leader, but otherwise seemingly unremarkable? Strange, but who were they to question it. A rival Empyrean, the Gloam-Eyed Queen, existing? Rattling, but simply proof that they must do better. But being told that their twin Omen children, their beloved first-born descendants, were to be reviled?

It was the seed of Marika's discontent, and Radagon's desperation.))

((Some Gender Things --

They’re usually themself, but sometimes specifically Marika or Radagon. (Asking for pronouns is best.)

They’ve always been themself -- even before the Greater Will quote-unquote "gifted" them physically seperated selves -- though reunification (and asexual reproduction) left them a bit disjointed.

When not masculine or feminine, their default state is an androgynous strawberry blond.

They haven’t considered a name for their (now slightly less than) fully merged self. "God of Order" is both a title and a placeholder name.

Pre-Shattering they were rarely their (mostly) merged self, though they’d still default to they/them pronouns.

Probably more to come.))
