#Chimeric&Dad

[badgerofshambles]

I am rapidly becoming the hairiest person in my immediate family and I think it’s fucking hilarious. Look at my fur coat, boy

How does Goldie feel about Noah Ikumelo?

(Tiny gold ghost plushie. Double naps.)

So!! I'm endlessly fascinated with cases of Chimera twins where the surviving twin has a child but ended up passing the deceased twin's genes instead of their own. This idea that they ended up living on in someone new when they never got a chance to exist? Amazing. I love twin science. It's like cosmic horror. Since John and Goldie are identical twins, their chimerism is essentially undetectable (identical sets of DNA being mixed)- but that doesn't mean a part of Goldie doesn't pass on genetically to Noah.

Speaking of Noah! Here's my take on him! I aged him down to 14 and went for a younger look (the artists couldn't make up their mind with what his face and especially hair looks like so I went with a combo of his hairstyles but also something new). Noah doesn't know Johnstantine is his dad- that's still a secret John keeps to himself.

OKAY! It’s time for the Chimera Baby Lore Post!!

🌼 How did you come up with the OC's name?

In both a meta and non-meta sense, Chimera Baby’s name is probably the most notable part about them. The name Chimera Baby is a reference to m-flo and LiSA’s Tripod Baby, ft in the game Shadow the Hedgehog. For over 6 months that was her official non-official name, as I couldn’t decide on a name for her. I received over 15 name suggestions, but in July I ran a poll at which point she was dubbed Mira!

As it turns out, Mira happens to be the name of a binary star system. Two stars in a dance doomed to end in supernova—rather fitting for a chimera character, wouldn’t you say? I like to imagine Shadow was the one to name Mira something meaningful and space-themed like that, meanwhile Sonic named the other child something totally arbitrary (“His name is Mochi because he's white lol”)

On that note, I’ve also decided Sonic calls Mira “Chili” exclusively, because its silly and he would. So Mira, Chimera Baby, CB, and Chili are all names she goes by!

🌸 How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

I like to depict them anywhere from baby to teenager, but in their most recent incarnation I’d say they’re somewhere between 15-17

💖 Do they have any love interest(s)?

At the moment no. She’s generally too aloof and off putting for anyone to approach her with romantic intent, but maybe in the future….

🍓What is their favorite food?

Strawberries and Triangle Chao Fruit

⭐️ What do they do for a living?

💥 Do they have any hobbies?

Besides combat training, CB enjoys the occasional outdoor activity. Sometimes her friends goad her into a game of soccer (which she is an absolute beast at), but she generally prefers solo sports such as archery, rock climbing, or hiking. Sometimes her brother convinces her to fish with him, but she finds it pretty boring (but would never turn him down)

💃 What do they do best?

Mira excels at hand-to-hand combat. As the reigning champion of Chao Karate, Mira takes their martial arts training very seriously. They also possess exemplary control over chaos energy, and incorporates this into their technique. While they may not be as fast as their fathers, they make up for it with not just raw power, but an extremely disciplined technique.

Her skills also happen to make her an amazing breakdancer, but she’ll break your face if you ask her to demonstrate.

☀️ What is one of your OC's best memories?

A tie between making her baby brother laugh for the first time and the time she drew first blood for the first time in a fight with Shadow

🌧️ What is one of your OC's worst memories?

The aftermath of almost drowning as a child after she saved a chao friend.

✍️ Is their current design the first one?

For the most part—I did redesign their shoes because originally they were rocking some McDonalds drip.

💡What originally inspired the OC?

This post i made ^^

Basically its a mix of me poking fun at the phenomena of Sonadow fan-children all looking kinda similar, and this plush reminding me of actual chimerism in animals and wanting to create a character with that characteristic! Over the months my ironic love for her has grown into genuine fondness—so while she remains primarily as a parody, she’s also a character I’m having fun exploring concepts with <3 Much like both Shadow and Sonic the Hedgehog, you can take her as seriously or not seriously as you wish!

👾 What genre do they belong in?

PS1-era graphics Jet Set Radio game

🏳️‍🌈 What is your OC's gender identity and sexuality?

Non-binary and trans (you decide what direction). And she’s bisexual bc i love bisexuals <3

🍃How many sibling does your OC have?

One little brother Mochi—he is a perfect angel who is also her closest friend. She adores him, but you wouldn’t know from seeing them interact.

⚠️ What is the OC's relationship w/their parents like?

So I mentioned that Mira was reared in a chao garden, where her dads basically only visited once every couple days if not longer (Sonic and Shadow are not very attentive parents, go figure). However, this was honestly a perfectly fine arrangement as I headcanon mobian children don’t need the same level of parental contact as human children (Hell, Cream is kind of an outlier FOR having a present parental figure in her life).

That being said, I imagine Shadow spent more time with her when she was really young before stepping away, which made her really latch onto Shadow more than Sonic during that time. Especially seeing as Sonic is the most laissez-faire parent ever but simultaneously was the type to abandon her on a floating platform in midair with a trail of badniks so she can learn how to homing attack.

Much like her father before her, her latent Black Arms genes have caused her to develop a burning desire to destroy Shadow—a fact that Shadow seems strangely indifferent about. While this fact has pretty much wrecked their previous relationship, there are circumstances where Mira will put aside her goal and work with Shadow against a common enemy or towards a common objective (of course, this doesn’t stop her from trying to stab him in the back during these operations).

Her relationship with Sonic has remained mostly the same, with Sonic treating her much more like a friend or little sister than a daughter. They have lunch together at least once a month, and usually she’ll go to him for advice on any social interaction matter—conversations that have become much more frequent now that she’s begun to make friends.

💗 What do you like most about the OC?

I think I popped off with her design—chimerism is such an interesting concept and I loved balancing her two sets of genes without making it seem too busy. I also love her dynamic of trying to kill Shadow and how you would think her growing up in chao garden basically alone would have contributed to that, but that's not the case at all she’s just like that <3

‼️ Who is your OC's arch-nemesis or rival?

Shadow the Hedgehog is her self-proclaimed nemesis, but she makes a fair share of enemies and rivals wherever she goes due to her punch-first-ask-questions-later attitude. One notable rival is another OC of mine named Sauvik the Badger—another cold and brooding anti-hero much like her. Sauvik and Mochi are something of a team, but being a protective big sister she wants him to stay away from her brother. This generally leads to a fight that Mochi is inevitably forced to break up.

⏰ How long have you had the OC?

She was created in January of 2023!

That’s all! Feel free to ask any other questions and remember to vote for her here!

Oni!Kafka

A thought for a different idea that quickly became its own thing. Thus this very page as I rather keep stuff like this separate. Other species swaps might also get their own info posts. Let's get started.

All it takes is a gift bottle of mysterious booze on a 30th birthday party to turn Kafka Hibino's life upside down. In a world dealing with kaiju, discoveries like magic being real are still plausible. Or in this case: curses.

Thanks to cursed liquor, Kafka has become a Liquor Devil that rightfully earned the title of Oni for how disastrous his first night was. A 10 ft aqua blue scaled beast with chimeric traits like long teal curved back horns, caracal ears, long tongue with harmless(to humans) cat papillae, sharp clawed fingers, teal hoofed tiger legs, black bat wings, teal lancehead viper for a tail and finally thick obsidian fur covering his lower legs/upper back/wrists/chest. (He still retains the dad bod but has extra muscle.)

Oni!Kafka is venomous with two types of poisons he can wield. The one in his claws act akin to Cane Toad venom which causes hallucinations and an almost drunken state within victims. It's the tail that needs to be avoided as the fangs of the snake hold Golden Lancehead Viper venom.

Oni!Kafka runs pretty hot in temperature so it isn't uncommon for cold blooded animals or those seeking worth to flock to him seeking warmth. Well his tail does need a warmer since it's the only part that's cold blooded. Otherwise he's warm blooded in nature.

When it comes to Oni!Kafka, you can say the himbo's manchild nature has ramped up. It's very easy to grab his attention. Anything that interests the human side like food, drinks, playthings, etc will work very well on the devil half.

What really gets Oni!Kafka's attention is anything with nostalgic value. Even if it's an old childhood friend that he lost contact with. Best be careful as the Liquor Devil will kidnap or steal his current interest(much to the human half's embarrassment.) *looks at KafMina enthusiasts specifically*

Oni!Kafka loves to play with willing playmates. He usually chooses child games like tag as not everyone is super strong like him. If they are then roughhousing will be something the devil will request instead.

Despite being venomous and intimidating, Oni!Kafka is quite friendly in nature. Best not to interrupt his games or cheat at them. That's one of the few fastest ways to garner the demon's fury other than harming his treasure and stealing from him.

Kafka's tail has a mind of its own, usually responding to the name Hissy. This serpent is a tsundere that doesn't let just anyone touch it nor easily show they like pride and affection. The viper won't bite a nonthreat but will head bump or slap them instead.

Anything Kafka likes is added to his 'hoard'. It doesn't matter whether it's objects or people as all of it are considered treasure to him. Both forms are possessive with the devil side being the most.

Kafka has to drink a special elixir on a bi-weekly basis in order to live a normal life. There are times where he's required to transform and thus kept busy by his companions. Also he has to be very careful around alcohol.

Due to being a Liquor Devil, a certain amount of booze will trigger his transformation into Oni!Kafka. It takes severe exhaustion or another elixir for him to revert back to human form. He suffers a major hangover afterwards as transforming can be compared to being heavily intoxicated.

Oni!Kafka sheds on a daily basis but does molt three times a year. If it's the latter case then he's stuck like that until the process is over. The devil is extra moody and irritable during this period so ice cream, movies, or light alcoholic drinks help keep him content.

Oni!Kafka's wings are a bit ticklish thus it's quite easy to get the fella laughing hard. Absolutely loves himself some chin and behind the ear scratches. Guaranteed to get the big guy purring very loudly within seconds.

The Monster Sweepers had some difficulty dealing with Oni!Kafka on the first. Partly because they were freaking out especially Toku as he gave his friend the bottle in the first place. It was a huge relief to know their coworker is still the same albeit more childish.

The apartment got wrecked because Oni!Kafka wanted to play tag and the place was obviously too small. Board games were too boring while his fingers weren't suited for normal video game controllers. It took a few hours of insane tag to exhaust the demon.

Finding the recipe needed for the special elixir obviously took time. Medicine to help with hangovers did suppress some of Kafka's demon side leaving him in a half state. It took going to an occult store to find a few ingredients for their concoction.

On some occasions, Kafka will become his demon form if hungry enough. He has a preference for meat and often hunts kaiju to satisfy his hunger. The man requires enough food to feed an adult family of five to sustain himself.

Meals heavy in fat and sugar reduces the amount he needs to eat though. Food cooked with alcohol also helps but Kafka has to make sure it's diluted. Signs of a transformation about to occur are the same as someone getting drunk.

Increased talkativeness, boost in confidence, etc. The only inhuman warnings are the appearance of bumps on the forehead/back/tail bone, skin greying, and extra hair. Rice water or foods that help with hangovers can reverse these symptoms if caught quickly.

Only permanent visible change to Kafka's human form is his teeth are now Oni-like fangs. The other alteration involves the man's liver becoming immune to the harmful effects of alcohol. In fact liquor provides extra nutrients and even an adrenaline boost during high stress situations for him instead.

Oni!Kafka is semi-nocturnal so he's prone to sleep during the daytime when there's no work to do. He either sleeps in a loaf like a cat, curled up, or if possible upside down akin to a bat. Only sleeps on his back should a friend/family/mate wants to rest atop of him. He's a cuddler otherwise when sleeping next to someone.

If my brain lets me then expect a drawing of him. Other than the crossover idea, there would most likely be two more ideas with him. Amongst them is one where someone else gets Kaiju No. 8 instead and Kafka is only a devil.

If you are wondering, there isn't a demon based on alcohol sadly. Believe me I checked so Kafka is mostly his own thing with an Oni basis at the core. Want to a crack at your own version then go ahead.

Merely link this page here so everyone else can check it out too!

[sefusneezed]

I just want to say first off today was kinda blehhhh and your art with Kat and Lyrane and all the shenanigans with her dads and uncles (especially her dad keeping her original arms) really made me laugh and brought the serotonin levels back up Your art's an amazing and wonderful contribution to 40k fandom so keep it up! Also one lore question. Is Lyrane's chapter a BA successor? Part of me thinks their a later founding Iron Hands chapter, like 3rd or 4th founding, descended from the Red Talons.... Anyway have a good one!

Aww thank you so much!!!! Im glad my goobers made your day better 💖💖

Lyrane's chapter lore is a mystery even to me 💀 I always imagined them having a chimeric geneseed. Maybe between Blood Angels and Iron Hands or something. They're up to reader interpretation tbh there's no set lore on their founding and they're a little weird anyway. They're just The Vermillion LancesTM and that's it really.

[mossymandibles]

Does Kraw shave or does he just not grow facial hair?

As of right now he doesn’t grow facial hair, just his head/neck, armpits and pubic region. It’s more like fur really and his head hair is like a mane.

Who knows though, hypothetically he could even get feathers, like his dad. Chimereals are near impossible to gage in terms of gene expression and life stages.

It’s funny to picture him with a beard though. Maybe I’ll draw it lol

[thestalkerbunny]

Eulogy's 3 very important Daughters who for some reason are all cats/cat coded.

The Mesoamerican Goddess who takes mortal form to know her people better, Plume of Feathers; The literal monster also from the same place as Plume, Baby the Jaguar Displacer Beast; and the chimerical Tabaxi with severe memory issues-MAGGIE.

To say Eulogy seems to be both a Girl Dad and a Cat Dad is a deep understatement.

Also, I call this style 'Dogman'

WIP Wednesday

i got tagged by @saltymaplesyrup (why will tumblr not let me tag wtf) for wip wednesday. i dont have any new writing bc uhhhhhhhhh reasons (yknow my. dog) but i do have some art ive been working on

veeeeeeeery rough atm. like a lot of my art at first HGHGBRHGEBGH

this is actually nerevar! i have a hc he's part nord, with a chimer mom and nord dad. in my fic it's established nerevar's dad went back to skyrim to settle an inheritance dispute and uh. died. and after his mom found out nerevar was already like, 10. so she just up and left him in the care of his maternal uncle.

but i was thinking what if his dad hadn't died and he was raised in skyrim? he would be in the rift, bordering on the velothi mountains, only hearing about skyrim and seeing the stray cliff racer. after his dad dies for real this time his mother takes him to resdayn/morrowind

idk i just kinda like the idea of fur wearing, axe wielding, braids in his hair nerevar. in a lot of ways he'd be different and in others he'd be the same. definitely still hot tho (imagine voryn getting a look at him and immediately dropping everything in his hands to stare LMAO)

this also works for moon and star for uhhhhh reasons. i can explain how this would end up happening if you ask ha ha i dont want this post to be even longer explaining a lil sketch

tagging: @your-talos-is-problematic, @boethiahspillowbook, @mulberrycafe (do u like tagging games. i dunno. if not u can ignore this bghgbreh) uhhhhhhhhhh idk who else wants to that hasn't been tagged yet........ anyone reading this can def do it i wanna see ur stuff :>

[morihaus]

my first "elder scrolls phase" was completely isolated as a tween playing skyrim on my dad's computer. i found a super underbaked custom race mod that was literally just dunmer but red with forehead horns

they were just called "red elves" and the creator did not even write any lore for them. i made up some (i vividly remember learning about the chimer on skyrim fandom wiki) but it is ALL gone to me.

i just checked and the mod came out in 2012 on the steam workshop and upon closer inspection was made by the Son of the person who owns the steam account. it is the account's sole upload.

[dxwnfxll]

Stayed up all night working on this so I hope you all enjoy my version of the Dagoth family

So here's Ma Dagoth (Merva) and all the bros (Araynys being the oldest and Voryn being the youngest)

I apologize for the doodles in advance but i'll explain them better don't worry lolz

These are pretty much my ocs at this point

Gilvoth, Uthol and Voryn are full blood brothers (as i have it in Chimer culture it's very common to have open relationships/multiple partners. Especially if you are a part of one of the major houses, it was only after the Tribubal began their god hood that Dunmer began to practice monogamy as the tribunal kinda pushed it onto them)

Gilvoth is the eldest and Voryn the youngest between these bros (and to explain the symbols, i decided to have it that the symbols represent their magical abilities which i may explain in a different post)

Gilvoth is a gay man who has an unrequited crush on king Dumac, he also doesn't get along very well with Tureynul (why? Nobody knows anymore)

Uthol is Bisexual and has a dwemer gf named Tann, He's a big mamas boy similar to Voryn. He's terrified of Voryn at times

And Voryn, head of the Dagoth house, councilor and a spoiled lil kid with a crush on his best friend. Do NOT trust child Voryn with scissors if you value your hair.

They both come from a Chimer father (don't have any info on the dads yet so)

Next! Endus and Odros

They're twins! I thought it'd be a cute idea to do so lolz

Both of them are very talkative, love throwing parties and are chubby boys!!

They both hail from a dwemer father who isn't really in their lives much (mainly due to distance + working under the previous King)

Tureynul isn't full blood related to any of the other bros, and somehow he's worse than Voryn at times. Very snobbish and uptight, kinda sour he didn't get picked to be the head of the family

He hails from a snow elf father! Which people are almost confused on how they're related since his dad is super sweet

Vemyn is adopted!

Thought it'd be funni that Uthol just found him on the street and dragged him back home like 'can we keep him pls?'

Possibly the most sane of the brothers, He's just chilling in the corner

And finally the oldest Araynys who was stuck on babysitting duty for a good majority of his life

And is also sour that Voryn got picked to be head of the house, he also has a small big crush on Almalexia. He's currently glaring at Nerevar lol

Tired older bro

They all love their ma !!

I have it that Merva is a very caring and loving woman, though she can be 'mean' at times when it comes to those 'messing' with her family (ex: She wasn't fairly kind around Tann or Nerevar for a bit, until she realized they weren't just trying to get into their house)

She's very proud of all her sons no matter what they're doing with their life, she's a good ma to her sons and to her sons friends

In order from first born to last

Araynys, Gilvoth, Tureynul, Uthol, Odros, Endus, Vemyn, Voryn

“Divine Beast” Erin Newgate

Self insert/girl failure. We are cringe and free here.

Lots of info under read more:

(Straight up self insert)

“Divine Beast” Erin Newgate is a 24 year old, college drop out that lived with her parents until being reincarnated/isekai. Girlfailure.

Found by the Whitebeard Pirates, joined and was apart of the crew for 2 years. Takes Whitebeard's last name after being accepted into his family, self proclaimed, and because she hates her real dad. An alternate universe where a hella more people live.

Erin is trying to navigate being in an anime and is failing her way up. How she managed to survive this long is by pure luck (she’s managed to survive 5 years). She’s trying to save characters from dying. She particularly close to Ace, they see each other as siblings nothing romantic. Eventually sees Luffy as her crackhead younger brother. Somehow she changes canon in weird ways.

Erin goes off with Ace for two years, remaining hidden and seemingly dead to the world.

After two years Erin and Ace meet with the Straw Hat Pirates under the personas Helios and Selene respectively; and join the Straw Hats.

She made note to collect any devil fruits she finds from characters who die or find. So far she’s collected:

Sara Sara no Mi, Model: Axolotl

Yuki Yuki no Mi (Snow-Snow Fruit)

Fude Fude no Mi (Brush-Brush Fruit)

Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Yamaha no Orochi

Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Vermillion Bird/Suzaku (given to Ace)

In the Wano Arc, she accidentally becomes a rebellion symbol. In Wano (this au) a Kirin is seen as good fortune, seen as a sign of the arrival of a great leader or passing of a ruler.

This leads to anyone from Wano treating her like a goddess, much to her displeasure and annoyance.

Affiliations: Straw Hat Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates (formerly)

Occupations: Boatswain; Negotiator; Pirate; Only Sane Person

Origin: Unknown

Alias: “Selene”

Epithet: “Divine Beast”

Age: 24 (post); 22 (pre); 19 (when found)

Pronouns: She/They/He

Birthday: March 11

Height: 160 cm (5’3”)

Bounty: $ 1,100,000,000 (current); 124,000,000 (first bounty)

Devil Fruit: Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Kirin

Type: Mythical Zoan

This fruit enables the user to turn into a kirin—a legendary hooved chimerical creature, and a human-kirin hybrid. As mentioned, the kirin is a type of chimera (諸雜獣).

キメラ Kimera, literally meaning "Various Mixed Beast"), a mythical creature or monster comprised of parts taken from various animals. In this case, it has the the body of a horse, the horns of a deer, the head and tail of an eastern dragon as well.

In full Beast Form, the user transforms into a gold- furred and scaled kirin with a flowing white mane, growing to rival a house. Human-Beast Form is slightly larger in comparison and, in shape, comes closer to Human Form, with gold scales on the arms, torso, back, and legs well as horns on users head, equestrian-like ears, fur on the elbows and ankles, and a long tail.

Usage

Grants user immense physical abilities in terms of strength, speed, endurance, and defense in both hybrid and full beast form. As a mythical creature it makes the user much stronger than a normal Zoan (said to be able to be stronger than a dragon). While in hybrid or full beast form, the user gains the ability to control fire elements. As well as “fly” which is just walking on extremely thin clouds, the ability to walk on water/air, which allows for transportation without means of boat.

The user has a uncanny ability to judge whether a person is good or evil in addition to see through lies and deceit. The users attack also deals stronger damage towards an enemy judged “evil”.

The Kirin has the power to change fate at the cost of the health of the user.

In addition the user’s life span extends dramatically to at least over a thousand years.

Previous User of the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model; Kirin: Su Yasuke

Su had connections to Oden and Kaido. Now Arin has no idea how to live up to her name.

AU Changes:

Fishman Island Arc remains unchanged.

Punk Hazard Arc remains unchanged.

Dressrosa Arc remains unchanged until Luffy reunites with Sabo. As now Sabo knows Ace is alive, Ace gives Sabo permission to eat his devil fruit. (Minor AU Change)

Ace is revealed to be alive to the world. (Major AU Change)

Zou Arc remains unchanged.

Whole Cake Island Arc remains unchanged.

Pedro lives. (Major AU Change)

Wano Arc Changes

Ace is able to reunite with Tama and later Yamato. (Major AU Change)

Tomo lives. (Major AU Change)

Ace now has the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Vermillion Bird/Suzaku (Major AU Change)

Izu lives, remains in Wano for the time being. (Major AU Change)

Yamato joins the Straw Hats instead of staying in Wano. (Major AU Change)

Carrot joins the Straw Hats instead of returning to Zou (Wanda takes her place). (Major AU Change)

Abraxasverse Headcanon(s) - The Skull Island Kraken

Some thoughts I had about how the Kraken from ‘Skull Island’ could be adapted into the Abraxasverse, not least when musing on its chimeric fish-cephalopod-lobster-bird design and origin, and its psychotic personality. ;)

What if the reason for the above two things is because the Abraxasverse version of the Kraken’s design doesn’t turn up in the world for the first time until the 2020s. (Of course, this would have to mean that if the events of the 'Skull Island’ series DO happen in Abraxasverse, they’ll probably have to have another Titan or at least Titan design in the Kraken’s role, like you said about wishing the Kraken’s design in the show had been more like a 'Gamera’ sea monster. ;))

Why the dating change? Well…

What if the Abraxasverse adaptation of the Skull Island Kraken is the result of a Many remnant assimilating various animals and/or Hollow Earth Titans/subtitans - mostly sea creatures like octopi, fish, squids and crustaceans, and also a bird - into itself, and then with time and some other influence, the Many instance’s DNA and biology stabilised into a permanent, fully-realised and fully-functioning organism?

Obviously, if the Abraxasverse Kraken still has its canon personality, then it very much succeeded in taking after Dear Old Triple-Dad Ghidorah.

Maybe the Ghidorah-like personality in the Kraken could also be because the Many instance which ultimately became the Kraken was part of the Many that were involved in transporting MaNi’s unattended-to head away to safety after Abraxas sucked MaNi dry and MaNi’s head ran out of power, and that Many instance had enough Many-ish physical contact with MaNi’s head before separating to permanently soak up some of the personality that had been inside the head?

---

This would certainly cleanly explain the Kraken’s bonkers design and overall being Like That, and massively up the stakes regarding Mike’s poisoning and uncertain fate in the series, not to mention a huge bump in the danger everyone on Skull Island is in!

(Also you know damn well that an AbraxasVerse take on Skull Island’s events would absolutely ensure Dog gets out of that mess safe and with his best friend Annie because I love Dog and I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t give him a happy ending! He’s a good boy!!)

lore drop: reader and noritoshi kamo end up having 4.5 kids.

Satoshi Kamo who later takes the surname Itadori. Conceived in the culling games arc, miscarried, kept in a tube like the Death Paintings, later given physical form and raised by Yuuji (I'll battle canon if I have to). to their dismay, they look perfectly like a 50-50 copy of you and noritoshi. Despite the male name, they are genderless (miscarried before the sex organs were formed, so biologically female ig, but they aren't into the concept of gender) and swing wildly between pansexual and asexual. 'Satoshi' carries the same characters as 'Satoru', meaning 'wisdom, enlightenment, bodhi, clever', being named in his honour (Satoshi doesn't really like that tbh). Satoshi was blessed by Gojo while they were in the womb. As they were conceived and 'born' during the culling games, they have an insane amount of cursed energy, inherited both blood manipulation and distillation (chimeric soul), can do RCT, domain expansions, barriers and new shadow style techniques. They're one of the strongest sorcerers of the post-modern age, far bypassing their parents or siblings. They prefer alt/emo fashion, and really enjoy trying new foods with Yuuji. Even though they're a bit shy and reserved at first glance, they actually have a chibi sunshine personality. Satoshi, having been an incomplete foetus in a jar for a decade, really loves living life to the fullest. Fav food: anything new. will happily try weird food combos.

Naomi Kamo-Zenin, born at a time when reader and Kamo have left Shinjuku and are residing in France. They were unsure if they could go back to japan at this point of time, so they gave her a western-sounding name with japanese characters, meaning 'honest/direct/candid beauty'. technically their firstborn, since Satoshi was miscarried at birth. higher CE than younger siblings. inherited blood manipulation. She likes to go shopping with Chihiro, hates studying (weak at stem subjects), but good with people. She's been raised with the tacit expectation of leading the Kamo-Zenin Clan as the next head and takes it seriously. Looks more like you than Noritoshi even tho she has her dad's personality. Fluent in Japanese, English, French and Mandarin. Fav food: Slightly bitter things like dark chocolate and americanos.

Chihiro Kamo-Zenin, first child born back in Japan. his name means 'a thousand, generous, gentle, wise', with the character 'chi' = blood to represent the newly rebuilt Kamo-Zenin clan, tying them back to their old pure blood and of course, the esteemed blood manipulation technique that he also inherits, along with RCT. he was born at a time when his parents are doing their best to rebuild japan, and was raised by mostly nannies and Naomi in his early years. He's a shy young boy who likes to read books rather than go out, very obedient, intelligent and sensitive. His face is an exact copy of Noritoshi's. higher CE than younger siblings. The higher-ups want him to succeed as the clan head instead of his sister, even though he has no plans to do so. Vey close to Naomi. Fav food: anything dino-shaped.

Elder twin Asahito Kamo-Zenin, 'rising sun'. Younger twin Tsukiko Kamo-Zenin 'daughter of the moon', also named to honour Tsumiki. Megumi was staying with your family at the time of your difficult pregnancy with the twins. After their parents, he was the first person to hold them, and is very attached to both of them. the twins share both their (kinda low) CE and CT, i.e. at any point of time, only of them can use the Ten Shadows technique, which was a surprise to everyone including Megumi, who had to teach them how to control it. the twins are attached at the hip to each other, read each others minds, and do their best to be absolute menaces, being the only extroverts in the most introverted family. They haven't tamed anything other than the divine dogs yet. They mostly look like you but with their father's eyes. Fav food: Asahito likes crab platters and Tsukiko likes cold soba noodles.

I think my favorite thing about the Cytos kids (really the HIGHWIND kids, now) is that they're all different flavors of impossible.

"the healer who, with bloody hands, stops the corruption of the soul of the world"

"the storyteller who, with endless rage, keeps the light alive at any cost"

"the shield warden who, with timeless hatred, fights for a world where war does not wage"

"the hacker who, with renewed determination, has figured out how to recode time"

"the alchemist who, with disturbing normalcy, has figured out the line where mortality and monstrosity blurs"

Luka made a real functional panacea, but because he has been taught that "repeating something makes it real" (aka if you can't do it twice, it's a fluke), he doesn't consider it a success.

Aryin can full stop prevent undead from being made if they stop to give rites for the dead, to a point that they have been hunted for it.

Ariel can and has rewritten the function of time in order to be a nuisance (and to collect info for their dad and bestie/mom).

Zack is known as the "Hatred of the Deceived", because of how he always seems to know exactly when he's lied to and uses it against you in the worst way possible.

Kae is an alchemist who has figured out how to full stop create functional life from different pieces of it without it going chimerical.

The Limits of CHIM

Short fic I did, prequel to the entire "Dagoth Ur Dad" series. This is from my Ao3 page (got it to actually loading something, yay!).

Vivec gets CHIM and realizes it doesn't mean jack when you're still technically in the dream.

-------------------------------------------------

High Hrothgar is quiet.

The Greybeards mistrust him at first, but they allow him to join their order. It is exactly what he needs, considering all that has failed to happen. How it did not end with zero sum, Vivec was unsure, but...

...here he still was.

He had realized this was all a dream, seen the truth of it, rejected it, everything he had expected it to do. He could change things in this world, shift them about, add those who once or never were to a place and time they were never supposed to be, produce companions of any stripe, obtain anything that ever existed, and yet...

...and yet he still slept.

The sky itself mocked him, told him of his limitations. To be aware of the dream did not mean one was unbound by it. He could scream to the heavens of the injustice, but it did nothing.

The world itself was shrinking, limiting itself. Morrowind was vast and expansive. Cyrodiil was still grand, and yet, there was something it lacked. And Skyrim...

...Skyrim was the bleakest of them all.

Do the gods beyond even care for us, if this is what they are willing to do to us?

Mehrunes Dagon had been a threat, he had seen the Oblivion gates himself, had even closed a few. There had been a certain thrill in it--but the dragons, the dragons two hundred years later! How could it be a world ending threat and yet seem so much less than?

Time moved forward, and forward only, yet the numbers meant nothing.

Baar Dau. The Red Mountain. The Red Year.

Vivec could almost hear Dagoth Ur's laughter ringing in his ears. Surely this was much more a victory for the devil of Dagoth than anything he had himself dreamt up!

But still, this was the world. And Vivec waited in High Hrothgar, following the Greybeards and their Way of the Voice, hoping it would give him something. Some insight, some explanation, as to why the gods beyond the dream stripped more and more away from the world. Those gods would never reply, however...and he knew better than to mention such things to the Greybeards. The Dragonborn he avoided entirely--they were aware, of course, but the question would always be by how much?

They did not know.

They could not SEE.

Not even Paarthurnax on the very peak could--or if he did, he did not speak of it.

Alduin was defeated. The petty Civil War was ended.

The game was over, and all that remained was to wait eternal for something more to happen, for more of the world to be peeled back in the name of efficiency.

But one day...one day, high on the peak of the Throat of the World...

I know this presence.

Whether he was awake or dreaming, it did not matter.

What do you want?

A vision stirred in his mind. A stained glass man with the head of a dragon, but at a turn it was instead that of a bearded man. One limited in the same way he was...and yet, not quite in the same way.

The words arrived in his head, and Vivec's ears would be certain they hadn't been spoken. He replied in thought, thinking it better that way.

You want to send me back?

A lift of a hand, the wave of a sword. A sweeping gesture at the landscape of Skyrim.

Amaranth?

The word was all-consuming fire, but he persisted. It was not the worst of pains, but it burned like a void in the soul.

What do you want in return?

The aedra could be kindly, the imperials always said such things of Kynareth, of Akatosh, of Mara most of all, but he knew there was no gift given too freely, and this was a god he had never prayed to, not even in his Chimer days.

This dragon-god owed him nothing. The request seemed almost an odd one...

Very well. I will ensure the House of the Emperor does not fall.

And then, finally, the dragon-god spoke aloud. His voice was like thunder, and shook the ground beneath and the air around.

FENJUNTIID! MIIRAAK TIID BEX! VO!

And he understood, through long study with the Greybeards. Akatosh commanded time itself to open, to make a way for him.

And suddenly, the Time-Wound was not a scar, but open, gaping, bleeding from its edges, and Akatosh addressed him one last time.

PRUZAH WUNDUNNE...DAHMAAN.

Vivec would hardly say this would be good travels...but it would be certain that he would remember.

He could begin with Morrowind. He would give this gift.

And all Tamriel, all Mundus, would no longer be limited by the gods who wrote the sky, the gods who cared nothing for them.
