Alright everyone, I made a Nexomon art piece within 100 minutes.

[player-1]

I know it's going to be a while for me to jump back to the Nexomon tag when the next chapter for my fic drops (and believe me, that's going to take a while), there's been a semi-crazy theory I've been going over since I was thinking of weaseling it into the fic (especially during the NexoLords Frozen Tundra arc) since it's something that doesn't seem to make sense in hindsight.

Namely with the NexoLords' attempt of reviving Omnicron, and even the earlier run-in with the goons holding a bunch of bomb-experts hostage and possibly planning to use the dynamite for their own plan...What if before the Guild stopped them in their tracks, what if they had a previous attempt to revive Omnicron, failed, and were trying to cover their tracks is the second time went bust? What if the NexoLords accidentally created a Tyrant that was nothing like the great King of Monsters but the heir of Omnicron's heir the first time around?

(Minor spoilers for Micromon, major spoilers for Nexomon 1, post-N1, Nexomon Extinction, and a bunch of rambling/theory crafting below)

TL;DR: Reverse doomsday cult in Frozen Tundra "accidentally" create a monster beyond their comprehension, abandoned it at Palmaya and perpetuate the cycle of neglect Omnicron started with his "weakest child" Metta, the one true heir to the King of Monsters...Then both their plans gets ruined by a blue-haired kid.

Like I made as a joke but already plausible theory, Omnicron's youngest kid Metta (the glass pinata with a titanium ego) would've been considered the king's heir due to his moveset following every bit of his power over all elements at once. But given Metta's (gestures wildly at everything) and not immediately putting the fear of Nexo-God onto humanity, he was ignored and cast aside as the lesser of Omnicron's children...Of course, until everything that happens before and after Nexomon 1. Apart from Metta being murked from Extinction's story due to the dev not wanting to develop his character further (or also from how congested the story is already with all the protags/antagonists); there are plenty of little easter eggs that still show Metta's influence on the world long into the Tyrant War and up until N:E's story. Like him previously making a resurrection machine to revive Omnicron and his siblings and his teacher/unofficial father-figure Malk having a database in a variety of "Nexomon" similar but unknown to the public (Micromon/Pixekai Project); ultimately leading to the NexoLords (and Lobo the ex-Guild Grandmaster) finding the machine's blueprint and Amelie and Logan finding the database and extracting the info to create a anti-Tyrant weapon to topple the war in their favor and end the mindless violence once and for all. And all of this was in the Frozen Tundra, mind you, and most likely in Metta's old home or in Omnicron's Tower/Tomb; though I'm all on the former being the case :).

Circling back to the NexoLords, obviously assuming they had a chance to revive Omnicron and "restore the world's order" with their new blueprints, jumped straight into building/testing out the machine in the tower where Omnicron was once slain long long ago. Maybe they used a Nexomon egg as the catalyst, maybe gathered some residual energy in the ancient site no sane person dared to venture to; but the Nexomon they got was nothing any of them had expected. It was something human-like but not, a Tyrant but not, and a Nexomon with stars in their eyes and a bright smile against the harsh and destructive world around them...

-That's right, this was a Byeol theory rant all along! And there's nothing you can do to stop me now!! >:D To try and make a more long story short, it makes some sense to me if the NexoLords (and by extension Lobo) made Byeol in their first and only known attempt to revive the doggo dad himself (going heavy in the copium since Omnicron's soul was completely destroyed after N1), so they had to work with what they had even if they had no idea what kind of ancient/primordial Tyrant they're channeling to achieve "world peace". Besides, even if Lobo was the ex-Guild leader and had every chance to read up on Omnicron's history, who wants to bet he had no idea that Metta existed if he was never considered a threat in the first place in the past? After all, Omnicron was a Normal-type and had power over all the elements, so why would he have a Normal-type kid as well? All of his children were killed off by Ulzar, so they had to go for the source of all Nexomon, the Normal-type monster, that's the most obvious choice! (/s) If that then applies to Lobo accidentally making Metta's Tyrant, then why is Byeol found in Palmaya and not Omnicron's Tower and/or the Frozen Tundra? Simple, the NexoLords really didn't want their token Tyrant being a baby cherub bird-thing and totally not Omnicron, so they dumped him at the one place that's "Tyrant-free" and getting the little guy as far away from their base of operation as possible.

But that's still a bit ironic, you know? Metta, abandoned by his father and siblings for not putting humanity under his thumb, eventually becomes the strongest Nexomon tamer in the world (aka the Nexolord) and putting together a plan to revive his dad to destroy humanity once and for all (and finally be his dad's special little boy :). Then there's Byeol, abandoned by a man with an Omnicron mask and his Children of Omnicron-styled lackeys for not being the true King of Monsters and ending the Tyrant War without anymore bloodshed; (fic-wise) becoming a beacon of hope in Palmaya and exploring the world helping those in need and avoiding Tyrant conflicts at all cost. Cause in Byeol's strangely starry eyes, his idea of world peace is for everyone to be nice and get along, human and Nexomon, simple as that.

Whether or not it if the NexoLords knew their "Tyrant" was being raised to be a goody-two-shoes is up to debate; but I really wanted to figure out someway to explain Byeol's existence other than "he's just a post-story legendary just because" or following the series' gimmick of using post-story 'mon for the next game, but the thought itself is pretty funny to me.

OHHHH I KNEEEEEEW WE WERE A TYRANT!!!!! I CALLED IT THE MINUTE I FOUND OUT DRAGONS ONLY ATTACKED TYRANTS

Ohhh our mentor is grunda isn't he....

[voidsentprinces]

I like that the Final Fantasy XIV narrative doesn’t let sleeping dogs lie.

Like, “Why isn’t anyone trying to become an adventurer?” They are. They either are worn out, forced to retire or killed by trying to do the same dungeons you are.

“Why isn’t anyone else trying to face down these raid challenges?” They are. The Omnicrons sent Omega with the task of capture Midgardsormr but also to face the strongest fighters in all dimensions to give their planet a future beyond conquest but also to face the end. But should Omega defeat us, it would of ultimately failed because by the time it returned to Omnicron’s planet, it would of been gone. Consumed by Meteion and thus Omega’s mission was doomed to begin with.

“Why isn’t anyone else trying to fix the corruption of the land?” They are. The Ascians are just trying to recreate their old world and hope to fix what happened so long ago. But in the process are destroying the very world they claim to love. And ultimately, because the Thirteenth Shard is “doomed”. No matter how they’re going about it, right or wrong their goal was unobtainable from the very beginning.

“Why wasn’t anyone else preparing for Meteion’s return?” They were. Sharlayan was. But they were going about it in the worst possible way and even if we had to flee via Moon. We were just delaying the inevitable confrontation with the Endsinger.

Literally, YOU, the Warrior of Light are the only future for the universe. Because YOU are facing down these dungeons that would get the average adventurer killed, YOU are blessed with the gift to help you fight the false Gods that not even the full brunt of the Eorzean Alliance can face, YOU are the one to break the stalemate of Eorzea and Garlemald, help break the shackles of tyranny and light the flames of Revolution in Doma and Ala Mhigo, YOU who will push out the old hundred year teachings of the Holy See and force Ishgard to finally rejoin the world, YOU who is the key piece in saving both the First Shard and the Source from an Eighth Umbral Calamity, and YOU who will face the ends of the universe and come out on top when so many others would and have failed to buck an all consuming despair.

And while you COULD face these all alone, you are not alone. You have adventurers novice to retired willingly to aid and test you, the highest ranking military and political officials to back you, from pirates to noblemen willing to ship you to and fro and grant you sanctuary in distant lands, a man enamored and believing in your old tale, he abandons his time line to save at least one of ours, the support of an old mentor and Goddess to give you one final test, and the support network of your friends and colleagues to light the way through despair and bring forth the hopes and dreams of the universe.

Cool, ramble ask: Omnicron

Okay. Omnicron.

(nexomon series spoilers)

So as previously mentioned, Omnicron is the character in Nexomon series on my 'just blanket evil' list. Even Xanders is somewhat understandable and has his own morality.

That being said, his character can be an excellent plot device. Need a big bad for someone to beat up? Omnicron! Need a reasoning behind the actions of Omnicron's children? Omnicron!

I have a few back-of-the-pile AUs where one or more of (non-Nara) Omnicron's children gets to beat up Omnicron. They are very satisfying. They also mostly involve time travel, because gestures at the plot of N1 and the fact the redemption arcs happened after it. The alternative is either earlier redemption arcs or a serious amount of canon divergence.

So my number one headcanon is that Omnicron is a terrible father. Probably physically and emotionally abusive too. He didn't want children - he wanted tools, he wanted weapons. That's what the Children of Omnicron are. They're living weapons.

But they're living, so they have their own opinions. Omnicron didn't like that. So how to solve this... simply make sure his weapons stayed sharp and loyal, using whatever he had to to do so. He didn't care about them at all.

I don't think Omnicron was cartoonishly, obviously evil. I think he had a scarier kind of malevolence - the kind that hides itself behind charisma, behind manipulation. Why else would his children follow him, despite everything?

I also think Omnicron deliberately tried to freak out Ulzar, and n1 protag too. A last revenge, or an ambition to someday return and leave the humans weakened? Who can tell. And it worked, too.

It's interesting to compare this to Metta. I think Metta was the most loyal of them all, and I also think he was the one Omnicron was most scared of. Because they're really similar. Both carrying all the elements. Both (in my headcanon) holding ambition and charisma.

I think Omnicron sees Metta as a threat, but doesn't want to act on this because at the moment he has Metta loyal to him and he doesn't want to jeopardise that. I want to do something fun with this someday (mostly make Metta realise this).

But the difference between them is that Metta actually cares. Not about humanity, but about Nexomon, about his siblings, about anyone other than himself. Omnicron doesn't.

Didn't.

Because the other thing about Omnicron is that he's dead. By the time of n2, he's well and truly gone, but the world will never forget his name. Never forget his terrible legacy. Even dead, even with his very soul eviscerated, he's still causing unrest and strife simply because people remember him. And they know how evil he was.

He's a mere object of scary stories, for some, dead and gone. For others, he's a reason to distrust Tyrants. For the Children of Omnicron, he's their traumatic backstory, who moulded them into weapons and they're still trying to erase the marks he made.

For Solus, he's a cautionary tale, a worry in the back of their mind. They're definitely not the only one to make the connection, but they do make the connection, and they'll do all they can to prevent another Omnicron situation. (As, possibly, will others.)

Though evil, Omnicron shaped this world in so many ways, for better or for worse.

Official File #1 - Managerial Staff

Manager F - He/Him

“The Manager here at Omnicron, F can best be described as…eccentric. Speaking in a fanciful manner and sometimes not making much sense…but beneath that lies a terrifyingly competent man who is extremely crafty, intelligent, and cunning. He cares about all the Agents in Omnicron, which…will totally not lead to problems.”

-He is fused with the DNA of an axolotl, which also him to breathe underwater and regenerate lost limbs.

-His eyes are able to move like a chameleon’s! What they look like as well as individual fullbodies will be under the cut.

-He was biologically created just to run the facility, though…he wants a purpose other than to just run a facility. This will totally not cause problems later.

-There is an Abnormality Core inside him.

Manager’s Assistant Omnis - They/He

“A no-nonsense abnormality, Omnis is the complete opposite to F, though despite that, the two are extremely close. Omnis takes his job as Assistant Manager very seriously, and sometimes gets frustrated with F due to his many antics. They do find them fun however, being able to meet Agents (somewhat) face to face.”

-An ZAYIN abnormality, designated MA-02-1111.

-His core is the one inside F, as a measure to limit their power.

-They are a non-corporeal entity that mainly resides in the computers of F’s office, though he can travel through any computer in the facility.

-To go into the real world, he has to basically possess something in order to do it. He can also manifest himself for a short time but it takes a lot out of him plus it’s only like. An intimidation tactic.

-Is based off of the Yellow Dragon from Chinese Mythology.

Honestly dude, I would not be able to tell you how much time I left pondering what happened to him, but that is now his title. Yoink.

Petition to give a title for Metta being :

"Metta of the Prismatic Light"

[crystalelemental]

"anacharafan: Also as an additional piece of trivia, someone was writing an x reader with the Nexolord so they asked if the Nexolord had an official like, human name. JV very obviously jokingly went "James." As a joke, I mean very much so, person complained that's like one of their childhood crushes jokingly and JV went "yeah definitely James then". So like a ton of the fandom saw that and RAN with it. If The Nexolord is anywhere and named he's named James.

Funnily enough someone asked like seriously if his name is actually can only james and JV went "that's the joke one. Nate was the intended one but still unused" which is so funny because nobody calls him Nate. That is James right there."

I think my absolute favorite part of this is that neither of those feel right. Like, sure dude, the children of Omnicron. You got Merida, Ulrich, Fenrir, Nadine, and James. Like, on the one hand, this does not at all fit the style of the other children. On the other, his is literally the only name that fits in with humans.

Did I get bored and decided to walk *(= perma peloton, sprint where possible, porters uses where applicable) from the final dungeon of Shadowbringers to the final dungeon of Endwalker? Yes, yes I did. And I already know how I could have gotten this sub 40.

Disclaimer: I used both the airship from Eulmore to the Crystarium (needs the Kai-Shirr custom delivery completed) and the A4-Research Portal (Unlock Omnicron tribe) in Ultima Thule to save some time.

I used the Porters Wright to Eulmore and from Camp Bluefog to Ul'dah. I should have also used the Labyrinthos porter but forgot to check them.

Time was taken when entering loading screens and upon touching the first Elpis flower.

No combat abilities or Class mobility (Dancer's dash, dragoon back jump etc) were used.

FFXIVWrite 2025 Prompt #25: Perpetuity

Somewhen, somewhere, if those two things actually exist in the oops-all-dynamis landscape that was Ultima Thule, Xiao settled down with a fishing rod. Ostensibly, it was to help out the Omnicrons, but fishing was fishing. For Xiao, it meant that you plunked a line with a hook and maybe bait at the end and waited for something to pop up. Generally it was a quiet and passive, if boring, way to reliably obtain sustenance. Rarely it was weirder.

Xiao knew of several folks who were very serious about the weirder bits to the sport and did a lot of trophy fishing. They were all about the way the Calamity surely affected the trout population and speculated about the ways that the deep ocean and undersea aether currents could change fish. They strove to find the perfect conditions to fish up monsters and rarities. She appreciated and respected the passion. She just didn't have the patience or headspace for it.

At least out here, all fishing was weird fishing. She'd bring back everything she could catch to the Omnicrons and see if they could make use of it, with only test bites in a few of the "fish" to test their edibility. Sometimes the ones that still looked like fish looked somewhat appealing.

After hooking up some thorny multifooted segmented worm and chucking it into her bucket with the rest, she wondered if Zenos might have enjoyed this. Perhaps it would have struck too close to the ennui that he was afflicted by to be entertainment, but he certainly had the passion, the obsession, to be a big game fisher.

Speaking of headspace and not having it...

"...That's not just in here, is it," Ardbert said, looking up into nothingness. He was also sitting in nothingness. This didn't really exist. Well, to be fair, nothing out there really existed either, in a manner of speaking, so who could say really.

Esteem flicked a lazy eye open from where she was leaning against, well, you get the idea, "Nope. Xiao wouldn't be able to remember the lyrics that well, nor carry the tune, even with her bucket."

He groaned, "How is that still going?"

"Considering that there's a landscape made out of sacrificed Scion aether still here when the Scions, former Scions, are all aetherically hearty and hale back on Etheirys, I would hazard that things simply continue without rhyme or reason out here."

"...I tried for a little rhyme."

Esteem sat up, sort of, "I for one at least believe you did very well for someone who hardly exists anymore."

"It really is like that, huh. How much of us is dynamis?

"Us? I, for one, am a manifestation comprised of much 'repurposed' aether, excuse you."

"Come now. You absolutely aren't manifesting at the moment."

Esteem shrugged her nonexistent shoulders, and smiled.

Ardbert looked back up, conceptually, "I suppose the borders between real and unreal are weak here. 'Twould explain much, like how sometimes the fish that Xiao catches don't exist until she reels them up."

"Perhaps one of the Sharlayans, say Xiao's darling, would have insightful commentary on the horseshoe nature of aetherically dense creation magic versus aetherically thin dynamis horseshite. But that is beyond our speculation."

They both sat for a moment with the song.

"...It's looping."

"Does it really bother you so? It's not like anyone else has the means to come all the way out here, if here even quite exists. The Sharlayans certainly aren't giving guided tours."

"Fine. But the dragons and Omnicrons and the lot certainly exist somewhat, and surely they all hear this. All the time. Constantly."

"And?"

"...Haven't they suffered enough while they lived?"

"Do you see them suffering? I believe them grateful to still exist, even if their existence is so marred by this song."

Ardbert did as close to a full body cringe as he could manage without a full body, "It was just supposed to be a little encouragement for Xiao! In her time of greatest need. I couldn't just pop up to walk alongside her like you could!"

Esteem shrugged again, comfortably smug with the knowledge that she was the superior nonexistent manifestation of Xiao's aether, or whatever category it was that both she and Ardbert barely existed in.

She looked over to where Ardbert was, well Ardbert wasn't, and she couldn't look, but regardless, "...Look, at the least, Xiao doesn't mind it. She's even humming along to it."

"I never trained as a bard! If I had known it would be permanent, I'd have just kept quiet."

Esteem sighed, "I'm sure all present, for a given amount of 'present' and 'presence,' all appreciate the song. 'Tis as much of a sign of your love and devotion as the aether sacrificed by the Scions."

"...You really think so?"

"Aye, and look how it transcends time and space and the very definitions of existence themselves."

Ardbert turned his head back up, or at least if he had a head— you know the drill, "I suppose that's not so bad."

They both watched on while Xiao hook in another oddity as the chorus surged. Impeccable timing, or just how the place worked?
