#Amber Ogia

im patenting 'getting ogie'd' as the new term for getting amber ogia all over you

[aziulpre]

I have a doubt ,Benzarro did really cured Rook or did he just think he did? and Rook still infected

Benzarro was always in "denial", due of this he was able to find a cure.

As Gwen says, "there is no cure", but Rook had the possibility of being cured because his body was accustomed to Ben (so he was immune to getting infected) but the baby is healthy thanks to Amber Ogia so the change of "air" or atoms (something scientific) meant that Rook could become infected.

Having been injured and being in "the healing waters" meant that he was able to retain his consciousness when infected.

Every time he uses his omnitrix he infects people and feels weak because he loses consciousness. Gwen doesn't take him seriously because Ben knows he's hallucinating. Ben cured Rook but anyone would think not, since Rook would never be "normal" again.

With these alternative evil Bens comics… They are not supposed to be villains, society is the evil one.

Yes, Benzarro was born to have the Omnitrix, he was part of experiments with a bad end. Everyone hid things from him and tricked him.

But I won't solve anything or give a clear answer. Since the comic is free to interpretation.

Draal as a Plumber sounds super cool!

Maybe at training he meets Rook, the Revonnahgander helping him with the more technical side of Plumber training.

Maybe Draal acquires a taste for Amber Ogia 🤤

And maybe both develop a grudge against the Vreedle Brothers for blowing up the Plumbers academy and forcing the pair to take their the Plumber exams in a temporary trailer on an asteroid.

Draal and Rook are absolutely brothers in Plumber training. They always help each other out or share stories from back home. Both make an incredible team on the field as well. Draal absolutely loves it when Rook brings any Amber Ogia from back home since I can imagine it's like fruit jelly candies for trolls.

They really do despise the Vreedle Brothers. For Draal, it's because a lot of people no doubt got hurt while other trainees like himself have to suffer such a huge setback. Although it did set an opportunity for his fellow trainees to use the Hero's Forge back in Arcadia when Jim offers the idea.

Not only does Draal get to show his father his training progress and introduce Rook but it's nice extra credit for their public relations class.

Is the Proto-Tool powered by Amber Ogia?

That feels like something that makes sense, especially in canon

I could see that being the case since it’s used for fuel in canon if I’m not mistaken

[fiestylittlebeetle]

I am so so sorry for this but when I say you mention that you wanted Psychobos to help Secale the first thing that came to my mind was that one meme that’s like “me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic”

LMAOOOOO 🤣

Honestly the funniest part is he doesn't actually mean anything to her besides his knowledge to use amber ogia for mind control making him a decent pawn in her schemes

But she's real good at feeding someone's ego to make them more likely to work with her

She's that mean girl who makes you do all her homework while pretending she's interested in you lol

Not that he even realizes it

High intelligence low wisdom having ass

I wonder if Revonnahganders are unable to have certain foods that humans can eat, or vice versa. We’ve obviously seen it with other species. Also Revonnahganders are almost certainly omnivores judging by their facial structure, teeth and slit pupils (except rook for some reason, probably because they designed him first and never bothered to update his design). I also know we’ve seen Rook eating a variety of human foods. Can they eat chocolate? Real life cats would die from it but I don’t know if we ever saw Rook eating it. There could be other foods they generally can’t eat too, or even specific allergies. On the flip side, can humans eat amber ogia on a regular basis? Ben’s probably fine since he only ate it a couple of times and he has the omnitrix to heal him a little bit. I had an idea where due to certain chemical structures in it, regular long term exposure to and/or ingestion of amber ogia could build up inside the human body since the liver can’t filter it out, potentially causing severe organ damage or even death. Idk, it’s all headcanons.

Amber Ogia Theory

So, there’s a lesser-known fact about amber ogia, that being how attempts to grow it off-world always yield “a sickly and inferior version of the original plant.” This is even the case on entire artificial planets that were created for the sole purpose of cultivating it. But why is this? I think I might have an idea.

Firstly, there is the etymology of “amber ogia.” Apparently, “ogia” is derived from the word, “logia,” which refers to “communications of divine origin.” With this in mind, could it be possible that attempts to grow amber ogia have failed elsewhere because it is being taken, rather than shared, and it can somehow sense this? We see multiple attempts to exploit amber ogia in the show, and it is clearly a keystone component of Revonnahgander culture. Not only do their entire livelihoods revolve around it, but it’s of incredible cultural significance as well. In fact, the very first line of a Bi’nthakoid Ceremony is “by the fruit of Revonnah,” which presumably refers to amber ogia.

It is also important to remember that Revonnahganders are even more lesser-known than humans, with Rook being one of the very few to have ever left Revonnah so far. With this in mind, it can be inferred that Revonnahganders probably had no input in off-world attempts at cultivating amber ogia, nor is it likely that they consented to it. This fact leads me to my theory on why these attempts have not been successful. Basically, it can only be grown off-world if it is knowingly and willingly shared by Revonnahganders.

Say it with me. “It’s Hero Time!”

Rook 23′s Design belongs to @classynm

Headcannon Time:

I don’t think Rook 23 would have his Proto-Tool for a while, seeing as Azmuth 23 would hesitant to trust the newbie with anything more advanced than a box of matches if he’s going to be “hanging out” with the disaster magnet that is Ben Tennyson. 

So Rook continues to use the weapon he has been using- his Amber Ogia scythe from Revonnah. Space is dangerous for a teenager on the best of days after all.

While the blade isn’t indestructible, it is capable of splitting rocks as hard as diamonds if you have the muscle and leverage behind it. 

Ben 23 found out about Undertown when abducted (not all aliens have forgiven him for the bad rap he gave them). It’s how he met Rook- who was trying to restock on supplies from Packmar. 

He actually enjoys Undertown a lot, as it’s one of the few places where there aren’t camera’s constantly on him. 

However, many aliens feel far more confident picking a fight with him in undertown. Ben and Rook are far too happy to comply. 

These two give Azmuth many a headache. 

Also- while Rook has great respect for Azmuth, he is not above ignoring the ancient first thinker to pick the more “fun” route and can generally get Ben to agree with him. 

Ben 23, from his experiences with Ben Prime and Mad Rook and Rook Prime, tends to trust his Rook’s judgement completely, even when he really shouldn’t.

“For as long as they could remember, the Revonnahganders have always been into the culture of farming, and excel in it. Ranging from the rarest of fruits and vegetables, to raising many unusual farm animals, they experimented with anything they could get their hands on. Their prized creation is the Amber Ogia, the perfect fruit they spent years breeding and developing. It could be used in foods, mediations, clothing and even fuel, it was designed to do so many things, though it could only be harvested once a year, and they had to be smart about their supply of it. However, the rumours of this fruit, along with the amount of food and supplies Revonnah could produce, ended up attracting unwanted attention. For many years it became common for thieves, rouges, fleets and even passing conquers to stop by and help themselves to anything they wanted, with the people of Revonnah often struggling to fight back. While they had evolved many fighting styles throughout their history, they couldn’t keep up with the level of tech outside in the galaxy, which frustrated many elders who spent many years just to perfect these techniques, only for some evil aliens with blasters only to take them out in seconds.   Due to this poor relationship towards the outside world, Revonnah and it’s people didn’t appreciate outsiders, and were known to be cold even to those who were friendly. They just couldn’t trust anyone, as they always felt like they only ever wanted what their people harvested and made. Eventually the Plumbers arrived, stepped in, and began protecting them from outsiders who stole from them, and while Revonnah agreed to be under alliance and protection by them, they still weren’t fond of the Plumbers due to years of mistreatment. Nowadays, you’ll find that it’s the older members who turn away outsiders, while thankfully the newer generation has been taking the right steps into joining the outside world, despite the arguments it might cause between the old and the young of Revonnah. Part of this new generation is Rook Blonko, the eldest child of his family. From a young age, Rook and his father have had conflicting views about the outside world, and while the two love and respect each other, it’s a topic they could never agree on. Nonetheless, Rook didn’t disobey his father, and often looked up to him, seeing him as a hard working leading man, since beyond the elders on the highest hill, Rook Da often commanded the village they lived in. Sometime after Rook’s tail fell off, his father started sending him to learn under the elder, mostly by his old mentor, Kundo (Kooun-doe). Kundo was very much someone who voiced his distaste for other aliens, and the tech used across the galaxy, stuck in the old ways of life due to what his people used to go through. Rook was part of a group of students being trained under him, and despite what you might think, Rook was actually one of the worst students. He would stumble more often, struggle to handle Kundo’s rough words, and could never seem to master the tougher skills. It didn’t help that Rook could fight in his own way, and wanted to create his own techniques, but Kundo always dismissed the idea. Though, despite not liking these classes, something good did come from it for Rook, in a way. Everyday he would walk up to and from school, and on his way home once he encountered a young girl his age, who was struggling to round up a loose farm animal. After helping her out, she introduced herself as Rayona. They didn’t live near each other, and Rayona came from a much poorer family, not helping with the fact she would end up having 8 younger siblings that her parents couldn’t look after alone. But even with those hardships, Rayona was one of the kindest and understanding people Rook has ever met, and she was always willing to give people a chance and liked lending a helping hand. She was calm and wise for her age, and it didn’t take long for the two to form a friendship. Everyday after training from then on, Rook would always stop by and hang out with Rayona, and because of their friendship the two families would start talking and getting together too. Of course, no one was surprised when young Rook gained a massive crush on Rayona, and he eventually asked her out, which she said yes too, and they have been dating ever since, with both families approving. Rayona was always by Rook’s side to support him over the struggles of learning under Kundo, while he was there to support her when she had to take care of her siblings for her parents. The two provided each other a safe zone from all the stresses in their life. Then, one day after a long meeting with the Plumbers, parts of Revonnah agreed to let there be a few members in certain villages to keep an eye on things, Rook’s village being one of them. A man named Wat-Senn became their sheriff, and while the much older folk didn’t approve of him, like Kundo, he eventually charmed his way in and proved himself to most of the locals. Rook himself took a keen interest in him, because for years now Rook had been fascinated by the Plumbers and what they did, and was always interested in the idea of protecting people and seeing the galaxy, despite what his family might say. So Rook, on his spare down, would sneak off to go hang around the sheriff, who found Rook to be a nice young man, with a good dream to him. In secret, Wat-Senn would share stories about the Plumbers with Rook, even showing him a few things he learnt at the Plumber academy, a fighting style that Rook found worked better for him than most of what Kundo taught him. The only people aware of these visits were Rook’s siblings, and Rayona. Then came the day of the Highbreed invasion. Revonnah hadn’t been hit immediately, but they were near other planets that did, and knew it was only a matter of time until they were struck. They were in complete panic, even when people like Kundo claimed they could fight back. The entire planet waited for chaos...but it never came. Sheriff Wat-Senn received word that Ben Tennyson had stopped the invasion and saved the universe, with the Highbreeds changing their ways with their new leader, Reiny. Despite Revonnah’s lack of interest of the outside world, even this caught their attention, and many people saw leaked videos of the fight on earth, and eventually watched other videos of Ben Tennyson and his crew, Rook being one of these people. He was fascinated by the omnitrix, and Ben as a person, seeing him being a heroic hero in the face of danger. Regardless of it all, Ben stepped forward and saved the entire universe, with the power of many alien races, showing the importance and power they can bring together...and it was something Rook wanted to be a part of. After all that happened, Rook finally had the courage to speak to his father, wanting to now go to the Plumber academy. This did spark a discussion and argument, but Rook for once didn’t back down from his father, which his dad did notice. The fact that Rook was willing to stand up to his father like this, not back down, with such courage, did make Rook Da think about it...and while he didn’t like the idea of it, he gave Rook the approval to go, but told him that it will take him a long while to ever be ok with it entirely. Rook promised his father he would gain his approval one day, and after talking with his family, girlfriend and the sheriff, Rook eventually found his way to the Plumber academy, awaiting for the adventure in his future, and to be a hero just like Ben Tennyson.”

Notes:

Rayona studying medical practices

Rayona having an odd sense of humor (like ED from Mass Effect)

Cute cat traits (Sleeping in the sun, cuddling, staring at nothing.)

Sandra and Carl often inviting Rook over for dinner

Rayona and Rook being that lovey dovey couple

Both great with kids, given they are both the oldest siblings of their families

Both aren’t the jealous type

Rayona is the most equal and civil towards Ben, others either have conflict with him, or view him as a celebrity.

Rayona ended up actually being the best person for Ben to talk to about his failing relationships

Both already behave like parents

Rook struggling on what to do now that he’s a Plumber

Rook is secretly an extreme daredevil underneath

Rayona is great at singing, Rook is not (Sounds like a yowling cat)

While both have a protective side, Rayona is much more scary when she gets protective

Both overwork themselves

Rook cooks better than Rayona

Both have complicated relationships towards their parents, both for different reasons

This is really cool. Like I could totally envision a fully flushed version of this and like a whole dystopian world kinda thing.

BenZarro Dimension World Building: The Nemetrix Virus

   While Earth has been addressing the Zombie virus, there has been an intergalactic Pandemic taking planet’s by storm thanks to the Incursean Empires

   Known as the Nemetrix Virus, this nasty concoction of Dr. Psychobos’ was developed to build instant armies for any planet the Incursean’s happened to land on. Using the Osmosian absorption strain of DNA, the virus forcibly combines the victims DNA with whatever second strand of DNA is attached. The effects on the mind and body depend on the strain one is infected with.   

   The First Wave Nemetrix Virus (aka Nemtri-1) was an attempt to mimic the Omnitrix without need for a limiting device. Fortunately, seeing as the Incrusean Empire had recently conquered a new planet with a FASCINATING, one of a kind resource, there were plenty of “volunteers’’ to pick from for testing. Most were proven to be unsuccessful- Psychobos was never able to get a complete change without creating a corpse and most of the survivors remained stuck partially transformed and unable to transform back or to another form via the virus.

   Frustrated at the lack of the results and under threat by Attea, Psychobos went a different direction and focused less on copying the Omnitrix and instead focused on making the “super soldiers” Attea wanted. 

   The second wave Nemetrix virus (Nemtri-2) uses strictly predator DNA to mutate the victims. Most victims of the second wave virus are completely feral/mindless. They will attack anything they deem as a threat and can only be controlled by those wielding the Amber Ogia concentrate compound. Most are unable to shift forms, though it is said those who are strong-willed enough are able to.

   The only ones who seem to remain in somewhat control of themselves in the alternate, or “soldier” form of the Second Wave Nemetrix Virus, are those with a high concentration of Amber Ogia already in their systems at the point of infection or those already had the previous strain of the virus.

    Ironically enough, the only thing that has been proven to be completely immune to and able to kill off the virus is the Terran Zombie Virus currently being dealt with on Earth.

[fisksaturday]

its kinda crazy that like. in ben 10 (in a lot of alien media but im gonna talk about ben 10 here) a lot of the aliens are from planets as big or bigger than earth but its always like The Same Creatures all over the planet. like on revonnah there were the revonnahganders and the muroids and the amber ogia and that was like. it. like i just imagine an alien from one of those planets becoming a plumber and having to deal with the culture shock of like

humans? those are earthlings i know them. oh shit what the hell is a dog?? also from earth?? okay. what about this creature surely this one is from vilgaxia. ALSO FROM EARTH? A “””SQUID”””? okay i see but humans are the most advanced species and their culture is the most representative of earth yes?? what do you mean theres more than one culture

[kisathemistress]

New headcannon:

Revonnahganders love milk & meat, and are almost as viciously obsessed with it, as Albedo is when near an unguarded plate of chili fries.

Rook grew up on a very strict diet of Amber Ogia based foods, which is the only plant Revonnahganders can get all of their needed nutrients from on their planet, as before he was born his village vowed to become 100% vegan. Most Revonnahgander tribes and other communities on Revonnah are hunters, Rook's home village is one of the few exceptions to the lifestyle and preferred farming & gathering for survival.

The Plumbers only got in proper contact with communities like Rook's, because other Revonnahgander communities are too violent/primitive/xenophobic and just see the Plumbers as easy prey to hunt. The Muroids evolved to combat Revonnahgander hunters, by developing tough hides and foul tasting fluids being released upon death to keep from being targeted. Revonnah lacks a diverse ecosystem as most wild game had been hunted and the planet was heading towards a great famine in some areas, that is why Amber Ogia farming settlements were starting to appear and Muroids have become such a prevalent pest.

When Rook first tried a meat based dish, he almost went fearl and gave into his natural hunting instinct his species evolved. The Plumbers had to restrain him at the academy for nearly 3 Earth months, before he regain enough sense to stop acting on instinctive behaviours. When he transferred to Earth before meeting Ben, he had the nickname "Mouser" because he'd regularly catch rodents to satisfy his cravings and get embarrassingly called out on the behaviour by his superiors, which kept him in line. He was ecstatic to learn he could easily satisfy his cravings for meat through meat ball subs on Earth once he was allowed to roam freely.

He drank Earth cow milk which his body converted into a substance that acts close to how alcohol affects humans. After a bender that lasted three Earth weeks and ended with one of his stomachs being pumped twice, he had to attend an Addiction Anonymous program directed towards aliens that become addicted to foreign substances not found native to their home planet. By the end of the program he learned to control himself somewhat when drinking milk or having anything with dairy in it.

Ben finds it funny how Rook gets whenever he's "drunk" on milk, so he regularly tries to convince Rook to have a milkshake or "Milk Smoothie", whenever they are at Mr. Smoothies. He doesn't know Rook had to go to AA or that Revonnahganders have strong prey drives after being exposed to food containing meat. Rook never explained this to Ben either, since he still wants to indulge his natural behaviours without getting in trouble or shamed by a superior.

Since halloween is going to be in a few days, here’s what Rook and his little brother did for a week at the Tennysons while preparing for Halloween (and also Young one’s first halloween)

Rook: Ok, make sure to stay safe while carving these pumpkins. I do not want you to get hurt while doing this.

YO: I won't, but I might need some help with hollowing it out. And I think that having a few seeds with me might help with the fall harvest, these could be perfect as another ingredient in amber ogia pies!

Ben: Well, this will be pretty easy for me. Just a simple jack o lantern, like always!

*A few minutes later*

Sandra: Time for an ol' classic halloween movie! Any picks, minus alien.

Gwen: Maybe Hocus Pocus?

Ben: Nightmare before Christmas?

Rook: Casper?

Sandra: I guess we could do all three, if that’s ok.

YO: That’s alright!

*Two movies and a traumatic experience via oogie's death scene*

Rook: It’s alright young one, it’s just a movie. That wasn’t real.

YO: I know, but he was burning!

Rook: Well, at least the ending was adorable with both characters ending up together.

*A few days later*

Rook: Where is young one? He hasn’t came out of the guest room in three days!

Ben: He told me that he’s working on his costume, it’s supposed to be a character that he made. I think the character is named Haru or Hiro or something… But he also did tell me that his character is supposed to be the first alien ninja, I guess.

Rook: Well, at least he’s being creative with what he's gonna be for halloween

Ben: Yeah I suppose, but it’s practically a free cosplay pass for him.

*A few days later*

Rook: Are you ready for tonight?

YO: Yup! I’m ready for trick or treating!

Rook: To be honest, it’s sort of like the harvest back at home. Just instead of amber ogia, it’s just candy. Yet still people work hard for it!

Ben: Just head to the rich kid neighborhoods, they practically have the best stuff there! And some potential exotic candies too, maybe some from revonnah?

*A few hours of trick or treating later*

Rook: Ok, you might need to check them once in a while. One of them might contain anything sharp or poisonous inside, I might have to consider taking a few.

YO: I worked hard for this stuff! Now it’s time for a little bit of fun, maybe another movie?

Both Rook and Ben: Yeah I guess so.

YO: Good, now I'm just gonna have this weird skillet sized candy to myself while we just watch a few movies!

Rook: Ben, next time don't tell him the location of any rich neighborhoods.

More notes on Blonko Rook and revonnah in ben 10 delta (part 2):

After Ben and Kevin manage to catch Baby Blonko the others catch up to him and take him in. They go to Phil who helps with the omnitrix’s translator function and finally get some answers. For the time being they decide Blonko should stay with Phil (and Kevin, who is with Phil because fuck Kevin’s parents honestly) who has moved to Bellwood. He has to stay in quarantine for a little bit so that he doesn’t get sick from any earth diseases but Ben and Kevin still sneak in to say hi to him anyway. He starts to learn the language but he’s not fluent in it and so half the time he has to use a translator to understand anything.

The longer Blonko stays on earth the more upset he gets. Phil is frustrated too and it shows. At one point Blonko overhears Phil arguing with an incursean official to get Blonko home and they’re basically “yeah we can’t do that revonnah is isolated” “why???? Earth doesn’t know about aliens either” “it’s isolated he can’t go back” and Phil gets so mad he kicks a trash can over or something. So Blonko feels bad for complaining and comes out and apologizes and gives Phil a hug.

Weeks turn to months and a couple of things happen. First, Phil ends up taking in the rooters kids (which is its own post) and argit. Second is shortly after where he gets in contact with Azmuth for help because he doesn’t really know much offhand about revonnahgander biology or culture and who better to ask than someone who got a DNA sample? Azmuth shows up and teaches basically tells Blonko to take a bath, brush his hair, eat his vegetables and stop behaving badly (that last one is like 90% Kevin’s fault). He seems really curt and it’s unclear why.

Months turn into over a year and now Blonko’s getting REALLY troubled. He’s starting to get pretty okay at English and is almost ready to start human school with his brand new ID mask. But the thing is in addition to the obvious stress of having to hide his real face he’s also scared out of his mind that’s he’ll forget his own culture and language and turn human forever and never be able to go home. Ben’s like hey why don’t I use Grey matter to hack into the extranet and find COOL REVONNAH FACTS. And they come across lots of cool stuff like books, movies, even history textbooks and language notes. Except it’s all with technology WAY past anything Blonko’s seen on Revonnah, and he’s pretty darn knowledgeable about his planet for being a country boy. So what’s the big deal?

SURPRISE BITCHES. Turns out that Revonnah USED to be an advanced planet on par with earth, but Something Bad happened a century or two back and technology and culture got destroyed. It was so bad that the incurseans decided to put the planet under lockdown. The amber ogia? That was genetically engineered to provide as much nutrition and uses as possible in a single plant. The isolationism? Well part of it is regional but part of it is also enforced. There are plumber agents or whatever planted around the world to record information, and keep society from getting too advanced so Something Bad doesn’t happen again.

Naturally when Blonko finds this information he FREAKS. OUT. Ben is like “what the eff” and demands answers from Max and Phil, both of whom had NO IDEA this shit happened. But Azmuth did! He was alive when Something Bad happened and kept things quiet for whatever reason. Poor Blonko has a breakdown. Thankfully everyone is around to comfort him but just the revelation itself is deeply traumatic.

At this point he kinda gives up hope that he’s ever gonna go back to earth, but Ben’s like “no don’t lose hope!” And decides to learn as many COOL REVONNAH FACTS as possible and the language so Blonko doesn’t feel isolated from his culture and Kevin ALSO tries to learn stuff so he can be there for his adopted brother WAY COOLER THAN DOOFUSON. They’re pretty horrible at it but cornflakes have the right spirit so Blonko’s a little bit happy.

Anyway I’ll probably make a whole post for Blonko in the present of the story tomorrow.

Does Young One spend his break with his gay da—I MEAN, Ben and Rook? Or does he hang out with a foster family on Revonnah?

I was waiting for this to come up.

Young One as you know got lost when he was really little so he doesn't have a family to go back to on Revonnah but Ben called Rook and they convinced the Rook family to watch/take Young One in for any breaks

Getting them to agree was relatively easy because they get to teach him "proper" revonnahgander culture and traditions. And other things like harvesting amber ogia which he's only ever swiped and eaten for himself beforehand

Don't worry though he still gets to spend plenty of time with his adopted gay daaaaa- Ben and Rook
