Horizon AU: Twin Flames - Isaac (Zero Dawn Act) final concept/design.

*texts' transcriptions under the cut after the images*

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

Read about Aloy, Beta and Elisabet in this AU [here]

omg... I thought I would never finish this... BUT YAY! Here it is finally! Isaac's final design and concepts!

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

Text transcription:

First image:

Isaac - Roughly 3.2m/10.4' -Unknown age (probably just a few months).

Isaac is an original machine character in this alternative universe.

Isaac is the loyal machine companion of the Sobeck family, serving as both a traveling and battle mount. The sisters unintentionally created him while trying to figure out a way to increase the machine override time. The process they applied in the -back then- simple Watcher rebooted their AI and programming back to its essential functions and disconnected them from their original master, HEPHAESTUS. Once he received his name from Beta, the three family members became his new masters, which he unthinkingly obey to.

Due to his blank AI, Isaac is developing his own sentience and personality by absorbing his masters’ traits and behaviors and learning their morals and concepts. He also downloaded all of the sisters’ Focuses’ data to have some initial communication and works as a backup, so he only knows what they know.

He can speak with anyone with a Focus through its text-to-speech function by sending text messages to them - thus, people who don’t have a Focus only hear his Watcher noises. He can still communicate with other machines normally, so he also works as an information gatherer to help in missions and studies.

Second image:

Once a simple Watcher, now a super advanced mount and best friend of the Sobeck family.

Isaac's customizable body can adapt him to travel in any terrain, even underwater. He's able to reach high speeds at a low energy and heating cost - he's also lighter than it seems. His sleek, almost snake-ish, body shape makes maneuvering more dynamic for his rider.

His propulsors give him the ability to do long leaps and high jumps, helping the sisters get to places they wouldn't be able to reach by themselves. But a repetitive use of said skills in a short timespan can drain his energy and overheat him quickly.

Like his owners, he's not adept at using one single type of weapon. Isaac's tail ranged weapons and armor can be changed to better adapt to the situation. However, he hasn't developed efficient battle techniques yet, as he's still learning with the Sobecks. Note that his Sawtooth's sabers aren't intended to be used to fight but to climb and carry objects.

Melee Tail Weapons: Thunderjaw's tail, Stalker's tail blade, Stormbird's tail (also used to swim), Frostclaw's front paws.

Ranged Weapons: Thunderjaw's Disk Launcher, Ravager's Cannon, Scorcher's Mine Launcher, Bellowback's Snout.

Armors: Nora (stealth), Carja (speed), Oseran (tank), Banuk (damage), Old World (mixed).

Isaac is a mount adapted for two people: One is the rider, and the other is the cannoneer. He syncs with them through their Focuses, so his responses to their commands are more instantaneous. The rider directs Isaac where to go and when and how to use the tail weapon. Meanwhile, the cannoneer controls the ranged weapons and propulsors.

Only those who have a Focus can see his holographic face. The images shown are a collection of emojis the sisters found in Old World Ruins (which they update when they find more). His three "horns" also can move solemnly to make him more expressive.

Being composed of many different machine parts makes Isaac the first machine chimera to exist - still keeping the base shape of a Watcher, but huge. He was customized by the Sobecks little by little through the Cauldrons they visited on their first journey.

He can still stretch his neck like a Watcher can normally do.

His eye received enhancements to better aid the Sobecks in their daily life and journeys - such as infrared, thermic, and ultrasound visions.

He also has in his head a sound device to play audio files, such as music from the Old World, and a holoprojector.

You mentioned a Book during the stream. Could you share the Book name, Author and Book edition?

I did!

So that is @hypnoobiwan's book called Mind Play. Get the most recent edition, I think it's the 2020 edit of the book? Most online bookstores will show you which version they have in stock and hopefully it's the current one. It's a really great tool for beginners looking to learn hypnosis and useful for those wanting to know how this works, why and how to do it.

There are other books you can also check out after Mind Play for those who are a bit more experienced that I didn't mention in the stream but I will talk about them here:

@h-sleepingirl has a couple, Kinky NLP and the Brainwashing Book which is more advanced imo and for people looking to get into the more conditioning side of hypnosis. I've started reading both and I find them to be really inspirational.

@theleeallure has a book on Hypnotic Amnesia (named just that) which is transcripts of sessions she had with DJ Pynchon, as they worked through how to get amnesia to work at various levels. It is a masterclass in hypnotic technique and really helpful for those both looking at doing some amnesia play and those looking to level up how they word suggestions. It's also just fun to see how someone else does this and learn from their experiences and notes.

[cbts004]

I was asked to make a transcript of this post. There are also a very few minor edits.

SCALE OF MAGICAL INCLINATION (there are exceptions, this is more of a general tendency)

'Matter' is focused on a mastery of the body and the physical world, honing was does exist. 'Mind' is focused on more classical magic in media, energy derived from ones imagination.

Most inclined to Matter: Demons, Beastgirls, Demihumans

Middling: Humans, Elves

Most inclided to Mind: Magis, Nymphs, Angels

OTHER SPECIES OUTSIDE THE SCALE:

"Fabricated Beings"/ magical dolls Shells for magical energy to be honed into. The creator casts a part of themselves into it, at the cost of a permanent handicapping to their magical output. Very advanced and & risky to make. This is strictly a technique for Mind users.

Basically, you have 100% magical power, you permanently lower your furute output to 50% if you make a doll.

(this ratio can depend, the stronger you want the doll, the more magic you hone into it.)

"Lunar Buds" / anastasia's sisters Magical 'sinks'; untalented in magic but can gain some magical mimicry by absorbing spend energy from opponents. Tend to copy/mirror movements,-- like those bosses in videogames that are evil versions of the player character.

NOTES ON SPECIFIC SPECIES

ELVES elves have a variety of unnatural skintones. Elf babies will have a skin color tht is their parent's colors blended.

(i.e., one parent has red skin, and the other has blue. Their baby will be purple.)

Even among siblings colors can vary. Of the children of the red and blue parents, some have purpley skin that is more towards violent, and some more indigo.

Elves are known for:

working white collar jobs

fine craftsmanship

being snooty, but ultimately kind.

NYMPHS "embodiments", nymphs are various concepts of the natural world made manifest.

Character examples: Ricochet, an embodiment of the concept of inertia. She removes inertia from herself and enemies, erasing all friction and making them bounce around wildly as if on ice.

Bile Poisonmicron, poison. She is immune to all poisons, and consumes a high amount of it, making herself toxic to the touch. Her saliva and other bodily fluids are toxic to others.

Nymphs are similar to our modern concept of the fae/fairies. Trickstery, but innocent. They love to play pranks & be difficult, but are also are very generous. Very fickle, easily bribed with gifts.

They don't always have wings, but nymphs always have the ability of flight/hovering.

Nymphs have mastery of the magic from birth, but their magic is slightly weaker than that of Magis who spend their whole lives honing their craft.

Nymphs are polyamourous & very rarely know who their biological parents are. Baby nymphs are raised by their villages.

Nymphs don't need to eat all that much, subsisting mainly off dew and photosynthesis. However, they do like gifts of food. Nymphs living arounf other species will also eat food more often-- do as the Romans do. Nymphs after eating feel sluggish, like humans do after eating a very large meal.

NYMPH VILLAGES are where they convene, raises babies, and have parties. Nymphs will grow up to leave, taking their own turf that they defend, visiting their home villages from time to time. Some will choose to never leave home, but it isn't all that common. (But not super rare either)

Some very powerful Nymphs (like Ricochet) will move far from home for their turf. Powerful Nymphs will be more volatile in personality, and are hard to get along with, even amongst other nymphs.

Powerful Nymphs are full of themselves and pushy. They love to show off their abilities.

MAGIS a species of hermit-mages uniquely talented in magic

Magis are a highly isolationist bunch. Generally shy, quiet, nervous, but highly intelligent. Sometimes look down on other species.

cultural garb is long, flowing and body hiding robes, paired with pointy hats (essentially cartoon wizards). Styles can range widely and some Magis do like to wear more modern clothes.

All Magis have long tails and ears. Magi ears are longer than elf ears, and can even be droopy on the ends.

Magis in wider society are known to be scientists, judges, scholars, and of course-- highly powerful magic users.

Due to their cultural isolation, Magis take roles as judges because they are seen as 'uniquely detached' compared to other species. While widely held, this is a false belief.

Magis have high political power among other species-- because of the idea of their unique detachment and wisdom. Many of their small population are greatly encouraged to seek this power as to lend more power & influence to the greater Magi populace.

Young Magi do often cave to their cultural pressues, but there is a pushback among the younger generations.

Magis in ancient times were more isolated than today, but over time began to integrate into wider society. Their education & power allowed for an integration into high position in outside society. Much older Magi (and there are quite a few, Magis have very long lifespans in comparison to other species-- living up to even 1,000 years.) do not really approve of this social climbing, and would prefer to encourage hermitages and dedication to singular study throughout life.

Magical ability for Magis at birth is low, but carries high potential. Through their long and intensive educations, Magis grow into their powers and hone them to great effect.

ANIMALS animals like in our world.

Beastgirls can communicate telepathically with animals. The telepathy is not with precise words, but more of an innate understanding of emotional state/ desires.

While they can communicate with Beastgirls, animals cannot understand advanced concepts like societal rules, technical ideas like artithmetic, etc… Beastgirls can never hope to communicate these ideas to animals.

Animals do not have magical abilities.

Carnivorous species of Beastgirls still eat animals. However, Beastgirls deeply respect animals' cycle of life and honor them-- using all parts of their bodies.

Animals are not raised for food by Beastgirls, they are only hunted. There is some contention with Beastgirls and species that do eat meat without the same respect for animals.

CREATURES beasts that are like mythical animals in our world (Unicorns, Manticore, etc). They all have innate magical powers that vary depending on what kind of creature they are.

Creatures can commune with any species, but are choosy about who they speak to. They will most likely be willing to speak (telepath) with Beastgirls or Nymphs. However, there is always room for exceptions. Creature telepathy does come more directly in the form of concrete words, but can also be more of a commanding of concepts into the conversation partner's brain.

Creatures are capable of understanding advanced ideas, and do have knowlege of the socities that surrond them, but choose to abstain. Creatures tend to see all the various species' socities with contempt.

Creatures can form pacts with individuals the like/ respect. These pacts allow the indiviual to use some of their powers, or summon the Creature at request.

Animals and Creatures have the strongest ties to Beastgirls and Nymphs, as they are the most nature oriented species.

this isn't even completely meant as an insult but ascendance of a bookworm's worldbuilding really isn't that deep, it just has a few clever elements to create the illusion of depth. the biggest thing is in fact the idea of noble euphemisms. creating a social structure where characters communicate in obscure references to their mythology lets you 1) provide a convenient excuse for characters to exposit every time there's a new one, 2) motivates your readers to memorize at least the more common euphemisms, and 3) gives the impression that this is a world with a deep enough culture that they can communicate through references to other things that have happened. this is despite the fact that it's actually very easy to do, all you need is a list of gods along with everything they're the god of, and then whenever you want to create a euphemism you ctrl+F relevant nouns and then add it to a separate list so you can stay consistent. outside of that and "climbed the towering stairway"/"to the distant heights" and "offering flowers" which are direct translations of the simple concepts "he died :(" and "women being offered for sex", you can actually just say "the other nobles euphemistically said OOO" or use the overly flowery speech that exists in your native language. and there you go, convincing vibe of a very socially complicated and obtuse language without actually having to create a language beyond individual vocabulary words and a psuedolatin alphabet!

i think i would like noble euphemisms more if it were... more, or more accurately part of something more. i get that calque idioms are generally pretty cringy so people tend to be hesitant to adapt theirs, y'know "ザンツェの手(て)も借(か)りたい", but there's actually a secret third technique called "making up entirely unique idioms". you can even still use rozemyne and the readers' lack of common sense to have her occasionally mistake an idiom that isn't explicitly mythological for a thing that happens in yurgenschmidt or vice versa. especially if yurgenschmidt actually did have dialect and generational differences!

in a rewrite i would have rozemyne creating books in different dialects rather than standardizing everything in the sovereign royal academy prestige dialect but just like the modern version of it. to revisit a historical example, one of the biggest advances in public literacy were books being printed in the languages people actually spoke instead of exclusively classical languages! basically what i'm saying is that the dunkelfelger translation should've been a team effort between rozemyne and dunkelfelgerian scholars and it should've come with a glossary of common dunkelfeger terms and idioms. AND they should've had an argument about whether or not to phonetically transcribe the accent and if so the creation of a that accent transcription should've been its own chapter. yes this will be on the test

Why I think it came from a lab

Note: before you judge me for what I'm about to say, just know I am speaking from a scientific and biological standpoint. I'm a cell biologist who works in virology, and have a BSc in Anatomy and Cell Biology and MS in Neuroscience. I'm a scientist, not your 40 year old conservative MAGA uncle on Facebook. I absolutely hate how the pandemic was politicized as you should never introduce bipartisan nonsense to indisputable and factual matters like science and diseases.

So coronaviruses are nothing new. There have been previous coronavirus strains that infected the world. There is the one that caused SARS in 2002 and the other that caused MERS in 2012. And yes, bats do spread them. They are species capable of zoonotic infections (between species), including rats (spread the bubonic plague) and cattle. However, COVID-19 was a lot more devastating than the other 2 outbreaks. With all the modern knowledge and technology we have on disease prevention/control and vaccines/drugs, the fact that this outbreak was devastating to the point of causing a global pandemic is suspicious. There is no way something as cataclysmic came from nature given our current immunological and microbiological advancements in the 21st century. And judging how bats have spread coronaviruses in the past, it was never this catastrophic.

This leads me to think there was gain of function research involved using animal models in a lab (the Wuhan Institute of Virology). I do have a theory as to how they conducted their research, but it could be wrong. But gain of function research was definitely taking place. I believe they had animals in the lab that were positive for coronavirus (either bats or rats). They took nasal swabs and/or saliva samples from them to be able to harvest cells that had coronavirus RNA replicated in them. One strange thing about some viruses is that they do not possess any DNA. They contain RNA, which is the nucleotide chain that is generated from DNA during a process known as transcription. And most RNA sequences are converted to proteins via translation. Why some viruses lack DNA, however, I never really knew why.

Now in this day and age, we have the technology to modify the sequence of DNA/RNA. This process is known as gene editing. You would have to cut the sequence at specific nucleotide junctions, either insert or remove nucleotides, and then glue the sequence back together. One famous method of doing so is using the CRISPR technique. But there are many other ways to modify DNA/RNA sequences. These modifications do have an effect on the function of the virus. By editing the virus' RNA sequence, you can either cause the virus to weaken (loss-of-function) or to strengthen (gain-of-function). Some modifications lead to no changes in the viral strength and activity. Weakened viruses are used in traditional vaccines, so this is when RNA editing can be beneficial. However, I do believe gain-of-function gene editing was performed in the lab by using the coronavirus RNA sequences harvested from these animals that tested positive for the virus.

This is one theory as to how the gain-of-function research was conducted. There are many ways to do it, we can never be sure as to how it was exactly performed with these coronavirus samples in the lab.

Now how it spread from the lab to the rest of the world, I have no idea. Obviously, infections spread between people who interact with one another. How it expanded from a single lab to the whole world is a complex process to understand.

So this is my theory as a cell biologist regarding the origins of COVID-19. Yes it came from a lab. I fail to believe something this infectious and destructive came naturally from bats. We have the technology and immunological knowledge to aid in minimizing the spread of illness and creating effective drugs and vaccines. Looking at previous trends where bats have spread coronaviruses to other animals and humans, they did not result in global pandemics to this extent. So I think the virus was genetically modified to become more infectious. What was the reasoning behind this? What was the hypothesis they were trying to test? I don't know.

Here in the US, there are strict regulations as what type of research you can conduct in a lab. In theory, you can create almost anything in a lab, from drugs, to explosives, to deadly bioweapons. However, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. While that strictness is enforced here, it is not in other countries unfortunately.

I am devastated by the destruction the pandemic caused. From a single viral outbreak, to illness, disease, lockdowns, crashing economy, closing of small business, politicization of science and biology, anti-Asian hate, etc... Had we had the knowledge beforehand, this would have fared better for us.

Magic and the Second Realm (Part 1)

The following document is transcribed from the heavily damaged original printing of Divine Theory, etc., By Magnus Helderon, Pioneer of magical research. This is the translated and abridged introductory section, for the magic lithograph, and unabridged text, refer to the branch headmaster of the Tarbrind Royal Library, Historical Division.

Introduction to the Text Magnus Helderon is a difficult to track figure. No one knows when or where he was born, or when he died. Only a single small portrait of him was made during his brief visit to Tarbrind. His grave is located in the royal crypts, after his exhumation from an obscure village in western Dragonspine area in 1368.

Magnus, a "folk wizard" hailing from the relatively unsettled southeastern region, was, by most accounts an "esoteric madman" who practiced some slight degree of what is commonly referred to as folk magic. He was reportedly taught by his grandmother to cure warts and witch for water and rain, among other things. He is believed to be the first person to discover the utility of the "Ember" found scattered across the world after the great cataclysm in 1253. Rather than share his findings, he delved into hermitage and studied the phenomenon ceaselessly. Despite having almost no formal teaching, He produced a 1758 page codex known as the Divine Theory, Of Magics, Embers, and Dragon-bone. It was written entirely in the Oldspeake, and was nearly unintelligible in handwriting. He personally delivered the book to the miniscule magician's guild of Tarbrind, only six months after the conclusion of the great famine, where it sat in storage for nearly a decade, completely unread.

The tome was recovered while the guild was preparing to relocate, its numbers bolstered by the recent emergence of ember magics following the incineration of Horus Tob some 18 months prior. By this time, the book was heavily water damaged. It rested in the hands of the Scribe's guild for nearly 3 years before the readable portions were translated and compiled into the Theory of Magics, a textbook used in teaching the fundamentals of magic to this day. (approx. 150 years later)

The first section, and final third of the book, some 700 pages total, were completely beyond recovery for several more years, before more advanced recovery techniques were developed. While some sections remain lost to history, What was recovered changed the fundamentals of magic forever.

Here is an audio transcript made with ElevenLabs. AI was NOT used to write this document.

Haskos

AN: I realised when putting this post together that when I re-jigged the order of the advance posts I accidentally took out the context to why the war memorial was something that both Marcus and Sarah were concerned about. I am too lazy to figure out how to explain in the story but basically if Charles and Vic had gone there, it would have been a PR disaster at home - something along the lines of the soldiers they would be commemorating were fighting against an alliance that included Illyrian soldiers, so more than likley killed Illryian soldiers.

Previous| Beginning  | Next

Transcript under the cut

Ken - Lets depart for Mt Wellington, in the lunch traffic it will take at least 30 minutes-

Sarah - I think we should pause on this section for now as I have concerns about this engagement-

Esther - Do Their Royal Highnesses not want to recognize our fallen soldiers?

Sarah - I-

Marcus - It's not that at all sir. Since His Royal Highness has done no military service, I- we- believe that a visit more aligned with their goals would be more appropriate. 

Ken - Well like what then? We don’t want this visit to be yet another stuffy tour, we have had hundreds of them. Haskos is turning a corner as a nation and we are wanting to cement our place on the national stage 

Marcus - Well …. I think that, well that is to say we would prefer…

Sarah - I think Their Royal Highnesses would enjoy a visit to something uniquely Haskos. What sets you apart? An innovation perhaps?

Esther - We are known for our orchards, fruit is one of our major exports

Ken - What about that new farm outside the city? They are coming up with new green farming techniques. Would that be of any interest to Their Royal Highnesses?

Marcus - That sounds perfect.

Predict your future success rate of Real estate Case

AI can predict your future success rate of real estate cases by analyzing large amounts of data related to your case and identifying patterns that can help predict outcomes. There are several ways AI can be used to predict success rates in real estate cases:

Data Analysis: AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of data related to your case, such as past court cases, property data, zoning laws, and market trends. By analyzing this data, AI can identify patterns and correlations that can help predict the outcome of your case.

Natural Language Processing: AI can analyze legal documents related to your case, such as contracts, deeds, and leases, using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. This can help identify potential legal issues and risks, as well as opportunities to strengthen your case.

Predictive Modeling: AI can use predictive modeling techniques to estimate the likelihood of different outcomes in your case. This involves creating a statistical model based on historical data, which can then be used to predict the probability of various outcomes.

Sentiment Analysis: AI can analyze social media and other online platforms to gauge public sentiment and attitudes towards your case. This can help you understand the potential impact of public opinion on the outcome of your case.

By using AI to predict success rates in real estate cases, you can make more informed decisions about how to proceed with your case, including whether to settle or pursue litigation.

Process How AI Can Start Predicting for any Real Estate Case

The process of how AI can start predicting for any case involves the following steps:

Data Collection: The first step in using AI to predict the outcome of a case is to collect relevant data. This includes data about the case itself, such as legal documents, court filings, and transcripts, as well as external data sources such as news articles, social media, and public records.

Data Cleaning and Preprocessing: Once the data is collected, it needs to be cleaned and preprocessed to remove any irrelevant or redundant information and to ensure that the data is consistent and accurate. This step may also involve transforming the data into a format that can be easily processed by AI algorithms.

Feature Extraction:Feature extraction involves identifying the most relevant features or variables in the data that can be used to predict the outcome of the case. This may involve using techniques such as natural language processing (NLP) to extract information from legal documents or sentiment analysis to gauge public opinion.

Algorithm Selection:Once the relevant features have been identified, the next step is to select an appropriate algorithm to analyze the data and make predictions. This may involve using machine learning techniques such as decision trees, logistic regression, or neural networks.

Model Training and Validation: The selected algorithm is trained on a subset of the data to learn the patterns and relationships between the features and the outcome variable. The model is then validated using another subset of the data to ensure that it is accurate and robust.

Prediction and Evaluation: Once the model is trained and validated, it can be used to make predictions on new data. The accuracy of the predictions is evaluated using metrics such as precision, recall, and F1 score.

Refinement and Improvement: As new data becomes available or the accuracy of the predictions needs to be improved, the model can be refined and improved by incorporating new features or using more advanced algorithms.
