[raintailed]

Huh??? Where did these guys come from... (hides my drawing tablet behind my back)

the list!

Oysterpaw (they/them), a water-type abra. They are based on rili orange shrimp because shrimp are cute

Altitude (any pronouns), a water type eevee designed by WhippieKippy. They's a rogue and are very scared of the clans, but they're decently well-known amongst outsiders bc they will heal pokemon in need

Ferris (he/him, they/them), a slime eevee! He is a very spoiled baby

Locustpaw (he/him, they/them), a funky zorua who can change color. He's a medic apprentice :] and yes he always looks somewhat sad

Second palette for Locustpaw because I couldn't decide

Galepaw (he/she/they), a squawkabilly that doubles as a living tornado terrarium. He bullies Sesamepaw and Maskpaw but grows up to be way more mature and mellow

Blotpaw (she/her), a slup (fakemon) found by Pheasantpaw! They have an older/younger sibling dynamic. Also Blotpaw has a habit of climbing up stuff and getting stuck

[aecholapis]

Thanks to your reblog, I went digging for your OC blog + list that I vaguely recalled seeing before, because I somehow missed the fact that you also have an OC named Zenith.

Tell me more about this little sparkling with a most excellent name :D

GLADLY :D

Zenith is a curious little thing, a newspark that was forged in a post-war Cybertron and spared all the trauma and hardships everyone else has been through. It lives a comfortable life as the mentee of both Azimuth and Exopulse and as the sibling of the adolescent Sparkeater twins Munchy and Chomper.

Its friendly nature makes it easy for Zenith to befriend others, a quality Azimuth is trying to erase because that also makes it more susceptible to abuse, betrayal and the likes. He and the twins argue about this often. Azimuth should never be given the sole custody of a child. Ever. But Exopulse is also there and has to play the negotiator. Zenith has come to like Exo a little more than Azimuth and it kills him inside. He's trying to teach all three mentees about life in the only way he knows, but his rigorous mental gymnastics exercises might not be the perfect mentor-student bond building activity. Some of his teaching sticks but it doesn't make him more popular with anyone.

As the student of a ship technician and a professor of mathematics it's not a surprise when Zenith starts showing interest in the more technological side of science. The next part is the least thought-out section of its story and likely to change. Zenith changes its mind later when it realizes how the twins must mask themselves in order to pass in society. Sparkeaters aren't welcomed by everyone on Cybertron and for a very good reason. Most humans wouldn't want to have zombies in their vicinity either. But Zenith wants to change the people's perception of them and goes into sociobiology.

A sketch of Zenith going on a walk with Munchy and Chomper where Zenith is holding their servos.

*Background information that may be good to know:

Many years ago, Munchy's and Chomper's underdeveloped yet infected protoforms had been extracted from an abandoned neutral outpost by Decepticon researchers. Early on, they noticed that their newest test subjects were docile (unless provoked) and so they decided to run a little experiment and try to assimilate the two Sparkeaters into their ranks. Each chose a mentor to learn from, but they never finished their education. Even as their frames stopped in their growth and hardened out into their adult forms, they were not yet mature by Cybertronian standards. When the rogue Sparkeaters attacked their ship and hunted down every spark on board, the twins hid and waited for help to arrive.

[The rest of the story was part of a fun RP I did with @cyber-streak-2 (who I also share creative custody of Munchy and Chomper with, they're its OCs as much as they're mine).]

Exopulse and Azimuth found the two in the wreckage of their home, a Decepticon research vessel that was now overrun by those hostile Sparkeaters. They helped the twins fend off the other Sparkeaters and took them back to Azimuth's ship. Azimuth and Exopulse became their new mentors, teaching them about life and telling them stories of their achievements. Then they landed on Cybertron and with the war over and the Quintessons defeated, everything seemed to go back to how it was before (that's both a good and a bad thing). The twins now have to mask their ghastly features with kibble that Azimuth has kept, which once belonged to his brother. They visit higher education, as does Exopulse (who has been constructed during the war; he is a technician but he wants to become a mechanic too for which he needs a different skillset), while Azimuth goes back to teaching mathematics at a university.

But the twins aren't quite as happy as they hoped they would be. They ask their mentors if they can have a little sibling and after a while they agree on the terms that they take care of it for the most part. So the four of them go to the Well of All Sparks together. Azimuth and Exopulse harvest a developing spark, picking it right out of its orbit, while Munchy and Chomper gather enough metals that the spark can bind to itself.

Zenith looks nothing like its mentors and siblings. However, it looks a lot like Altitude 😏 That's merely a coincidence, I just thought it would be funny to have it resemble Azimuth's long dead brother for no particular reason.

🤍 Altitude Sickness in Whump 🤍

Altitude sickness occurs when ascending to high elevation, especially when it is done too rapidly or by a person who is physically weak. Low pressure at high elevation causes low blood oxygen levels and other very unpleasant effects on the body. In general, altitude sickness occurs in three stages:

Stage 1: AMS - Acute Mountain Sickness. Symptoms: headache, lack of appetite, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting.

Stage 2: HACE - High-Altitude Cerebral Edema. Symptoms: above symptoms plus altered mental status, ataxia, confusion, and drowsiness. Coma can occur within 24 hours of onset.

Stage 3: HAPE - High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema. Can occur after AMS/HACE, or by itself. Symptoms: chest congestion, cough, exaggerated dyspnea on exertion, decreased exercise performance, and coughing blood. Can be rapidly fatal.

Why a character might ascend too quickly:

Being on the run/desperate

Being forced to do so as part of a task or game

Being forced to do so as deliberate torture

Being overly eager to reach the goal

Scenario ideas:

Whumpee starts to develop symptoms while separated from the group or lost

Whumpee tries to hide symptoms to prove they're strong enough to endure the climb

Whumpee forced to do heavy physical labor at high altitude

Whumpee panics, making breathing even more difficult

Caretaker desperately calling for an airlift

Caretaker carrying whumpee down the mountain

Caretaker is also altitude sick, but must carry whumpee anyway

The information comes from the CDC, where you can also find more about treatment, risk factors, etc.

[l-rigel-rp-l]

So, you want to know about the star-people. Well, you came to the right place! My name is Rigel, and I’ll be your guide to the Stellaman species!

Stellamans are roughly 4 times the height of an average human. They are mechanical beings, robotic creatures powered by an artificial star in the place where a human head would be anatomically positioned. We are known by many names, not just the Stellamans. Star-people, the Occult Stellaris Gods(or the OSG) , the Andruids of Space, and the Flame Beings are all names that our ragtag group has gone by.

There are only 12 of us in total, due to the fact that we aren’t natural beings. We all live on a spaceship called the Altitude. It is a large, sphere shaped spaceship with a single dome shaped thruster on the side. The ship is equipped with some really neat technology, which helps it do things that most starships can’t even dream of doing.

Note: Since my old masterlist is getting notes again (and I'm hosting @tbb-appreciation-week this year), I thought it's a good time to release a new version with a lot more resources. If any of you know another site or thing that it's missing from the list, let me know and I'll include it!! [Altho, I'm getting this close 🤏 to the hyperlinks limit on this thing 😆]

Note 2: To avoid tagging the 3 people from whom I got multiple resources repeatedly, I've placed 1-3 asterisks between square brackets after the links, depending on the OP. I give the respective credit to them in a legend at the end of the post.

WRITING IN GENERAL (For those who don't want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I've ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, with +20 different in-depth reports, for only the first 500 words. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn't mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you're writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit it too.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the word limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence (3 a day), even if it doesn't raise any flags; it's very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

I can actually explain this. Areia is a multi-moon planet. Resulting in tectonic and weather activity being more erratic and extreme than that of earth.

Areians were split into multiple subgroups/subspecies because the extreme nature of the planet led to multiple groups becoming isolated. Thus, evolving differing traits such as height as a result.

As this pre-industrial society is just coming out of an ice-age many of these disparate groups/subspecies are finally interacting for the first time.

Clara-Marie is a Mountain/Cavern Areian. This group evolved at high peaks and within the many caverns of the mountain ranges of the planet. They possess impeccable hearing and thick fur. Their eyesight isn’t as great and their eyes often appear to lack pupils because they spend so long in darkness.

I decided to try and add my AU height guidelines to your characters and:

Ahahaha! 😂 Clara-Marie is so tiny compared to everyone else. Which is probably why she still felt distant from them even though they all grew up together. I had a headcannon that Beaumont called Clara-Marie “Little Lady” and now I see why he would do that. This was fun to mess with.

Bro even the kids are taller??? And I though Beaumont was a shorty

Corbin would be one of those folk who get a little self-conscious about the height difference. He wouldn't really know how to handle it tbh and he forgets sometimes that Clara-Marie isn't Scout. Reynard and Scout are pretty chill though lol

I wonder if the height differences across killer folk are more exaggerated than humans. Like how dogs can be completely different sizes and shapes but humans have less variation. It's the Qu's fault tbh

[aecholapis]

[rnlacc]

I calculated the relative altitude difference between Atlas and Mantle, it is around 10-12,000m. According to the formula, the temperature difference between the two cities is 78 degrees Celsius! And as we know, the Solitas continent is located at the northernmost point of Remnant, which means its average temperature can drop very low, if compared to the Earth world map, the location of Atlas (in terms of longitude) is equivalent to Denmark - where the annual temperature falls between -16 oC and 6 oC. Atlas is at such a crazy altitude, so its temperature is even lower than Mantle. Assuming they use dust heating system, we have the next problem, which is the air density at 10,000 - 12,000m (I won't bring up the sea level here because I don't have specific data on Solitas' altitude relative to sea level)

I tried to calculate the oxygen density at 12000m and it is completely impossible for humans to breathe and live. So heating is meaningless if humans can't breathe.

Okay, these will give us the following possible arguments:

1/ Remnants (especially Atlesians) are capable of surviving and consuming oxygen in impossible conditions.

or

2/ Atlas has a skydome, allowing them to regulate the oxygen level to suit humans.

or

3/ This is a complete mistake in the worldbuilding of the Remnant world.

So what does that mean?

a/Ironwood's plan would have been possible if he had raised Atlas a little higher and run away from Salem.

or just

b/RT writers completely screwed up the worldbuilding and tried to make Ironwood "kick the baby, kill the dog".

And in short, what did you realize?

1/You can't apply the laws of physics in the real world to attack people who think Ironwood's plan is possible.

2/Accept the fact that your writers aren't perfect and stop attacking others.

Everything I said here is a testament to your lack of reasoning about "Ironwood isn't the villain from nowhere, a lot of ditactors did the same thing in the past." Dear, you can't apply the rules of Earth to Remnant.
