Horizon AU: Twin Flames - Isaac's final armor and weapons variations (Zero Dawn Act). Text transcription under the cut after the images!

REPOST, EDIT/USE OR FEED MY ART TO AI ISN'T ALLOWED

Edit: Updated some text on the Oseram and Banuk arts.

You can read Isaac's lore here: [LINK]

Will he use those variations in the story? Yes! :D hehe. Also, in this AU only Aloy wears Oseran armor while only Beta wears Carja armor, because Oseran's armor is too heavy and noisy for Beta's stealth strategies, while Carja's armor is too weak for Aloy's melee fighting style.

This AU has an ongoing fanfic! You can read on Ao3: [LINK]

Text transcription:

Ravager's cannon: It gives Isaac the ability to fire rapidly like a Ravager can, but with much more precision. It can also do charged-up shots for more heavy damage. This is the most noiseless ranged weapon from Isaac, allowing the charged shot to be used for sniping. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Stalker Blade Tail: The swiftest and lightest melee weapon from Isaac's arsenal. It's the best pick to fight against lightweight machines and stealth attacks. Its thin shape and ability to spin and move up and down (at an angle of about 120 degrees) can also be used for precision attacks (e.g., to take off machine components or stealth-stabbing humans).

Nora's stealth armor: The natural materials of this armor allow Isaac to camouflage better within the natural landscape. The lack of metal pieces also helps reduce noise while moving. This armor is resistant to shock and ice damage but weak against fire and corrosion damage. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

Thunderjaw’s Disk Launcher: Isaac can use the disks like a Thunderjaw can or launch them at a high speed. It’s not an easy weapon to use, as its recoil can destabilize Isaac if he’s in movement, and it has a very slow recharge, but it’s the heaviest damage dealer from the arsenal. Its firepower can make big explosions and great area damage. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Thunderjaw’s Tail: It is the second heaviest and slowest melee weapon Isaac has, but when used correctly, it can cause great damage to his targets, destroy some types of human constructions, stun machines, and even kill humans on the spot. Its shovel-like shape also allows Isaac to throw objects away (with very poor precision) or even yeet Aloy and Beta to help them reach places or to aid in some fight strategy.

Oseram's tank armor: Made of the best Oseram hard leather and steel, this armor greatly protects Isaac, making him much more resistant to various damage kinds. However, the materials weigh him and consequently slow him down, thus making him sink underwater, and he needs to use more energy for his leaps and high jumps. This armor is highly resistant to corrosion and fire damage but has some weak spots for ice and shock damage. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

Bellowback’ Snout: This weapon is an adapted version of the Bellowback’s ranged elemental weapon for Isaac. It gives him the ability to shoot fire or acid projectiles. It can also be used as a close-range defense weapon; hence, it can be used as a flamethrower or acid jet-like gun as well. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Stormbird’s Tail: Isaac can use this weapon like a Stormbird: an electric whip-like melee weapon, still keeping the shocking damage but in a much smaller range and potency. However, if not used cautiously, the whip can get stuck in places or be grabbed by bigger machines. This tail is also useful for Isaac to balance himself while climbing or walking in places such as metal columns in ruins. Isaac must have this tail equipped to be able to swim underwater correctly.

Carja’s speed armor: The sisters arranged the traditional Carja clothing adornments in a way that makes Isaac more aerodynamic, and the lightness of the materials also helps Isaac run faster, leap further, and jump higher than he normally could. Although pretty, the materials of this armor aren’t made for battle, leaving Isaac vulnerable to all kinds of damage - especially physical damage. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

Scorcher’s Mine Launcher: Aside from the normal mines a scorcher can use, this version of its weapon also has the option to use stick mines. Either version of ammos can be used on battle strategies of timed controlled explosions, as the mines won’t explode until they get hit. These mines have two versions: fire and electric explosions. Up to two coils can be equipped.

Frostclaw’s Front Paw: The closest Isaac will get to “grabby hands” so far. It’s the biggest physical damage dealer but the slowest melee weapon due to its heavy weight. Isaac can not just inflict heavy damage but also use the big hand to grab huge objects and machines way bigger than him. This weapon is so heavy that it may destabilize him during curves at high speed, compromise his balance while climbing, and increase the needed energy to sprint, jump, and leap.

Banuk Power Armor: The Sobecks learned with the Banuk crafting how to improve the energy flow and distribution on a machine. This armor increases Isaac's total stamina energy and reduces the needed charge to sprint, jump, or leap. The improved energy flow also helps increase the damage from Isaac’s melee and ranged weapons. However, the increase in the energy flow makes Isaac heat up way faster if not used correctly. Up to three weaves can be equipped.

nora's dreams are more strict; it's more like her gem is replaying a memory as a movie so she is forced to faithfully enact whatever happened. generally she doesn't mind too much, she finds her mother's dreams interesting and comforting (like a part of her is with her, still.)

Transcript

1-2: Nora is speaking off-screen, the panel is a side view of Greg and Pearl about to go in, stopping because Nora has drawn their attention. Leads to a bird's eye view of the group and the area. Nora: uh… Actually is it ok if you guys wait out here?

3-4: Greg and Pearl take a beat to look at Nora, then each other, like they’re confirming this is happening, and both look a little surprised.

5: Both turn their head back toward Nora before responding. Greg: We can do that. Pearl: Are you sure?

6: Nora lets Amber go for the first time in a while, Amber turning slightly to look at her as she’s being let go. Nora: Yeah.

7: Nora: I'm an adult, I should be FINE, right? Nora gives a thumbs up, looking less than confident.

8: Nora: And if I’m not, you can just follow the sounds of hyperventilating to find me! Nora walks into the doorway Carnelian following. She says forcibly laughing, clearly trying to make a joke of some sort. Silver Pearl is not going inside and looks bewildered and concerned over the behavior.

9: Pearl and Greg look concerned; the joke did not land.

10: Carnelian gesturing Nora walked by the stairs

12: Close up as Nora and Carnelian walk past the Blue Diamond mural.

13: Nora looks up at the mural of her mother.

14: Nora turns her head away looking more determined then before.

15: Shows the entryway to where they are going, but the light shining out is too bright to see anything just yet.

I know it’s Emmy Wemmysday but my dear beloved Fiona needed to be drawn

I do believe that Theo would remove his hat specifically around Fiona to ensure she doesn’t accidentally damage it.

I also had a brainstorming moment while working on this that isn’t as cute ;( tw for strangulation mention (oh and Unwound Future spoilers)

A running headcanon started by @speedygoreman states that Layton was strangled with the scarf thing he was wearing when he was assaulted, and it gives him major PTSD to have anything wrapped too tight around his neck. Ties, ascots, tight turtlenecks, and of course, overexcited little 2 year olds who haven’t been able to hug you for a month. Poor girl :(

They figured out what the problem was of course and Fiona got to hug her Uncle Teddy again :)

Wanted to try my hand at a Nora Universe AU attempt!

I think Nora would have a mix of influences in the way that she presents herself that I wanted to explore, so it was fun trying to design a concept that incorporates all of that! In the way that Steven leans into feminine presentation at times, I felt really strongly that Nora would play with her hair in a way where she could style it more masc/gnc at will! With amethyst being her sister I think she'd also take a lot of influence from her, and feel more comfortable showing her gem openly even when she's younger. I liked the fanny pack as a nod to amethyst's pilot design a lot, but with rose's colours.

Fanart for @amaryllidae 's Diamond Pearls AU! And how I think how the meeting of Nora and Pink Pearl(here Pink Diamond) would play out.

Pink doesn’t actually hate Nora, in fact she sees her as poor, innocent victim of Rose Pearl, she knows that Nora isn’t her original Pearl, but thinks Rose just has a child to her so she can run away from her problems, something that angers her since she wants Rose to deal with the consequences of her actions.

Some quick studies I did of buff Aloy in this alternative universe a time ago. This is how she'll look on the Forbidden West act in front. I'm using real professional wrestler women as references for this.

Also, yeah, in the FW act she's tired... like, really mentally tired.
