Clone OCs, pencil sketches

I sketched these half a year ago for my Galactic Horde fic(s). Mainly character concepts for future digital works. They are rough-ish, and no exciting action poses. 😂

Hordak's cadre of Brother-Knights. My pre-banishment Horde (the Holy Order of His Immortal Majesty) was inspired by Knights Templar and Arthurian legends, and features differently engineered clones from several generations. Young Hordak/Light-Bringer serves as Prime's second-in-command during a time when greater individuality for the clones was allowed. Characters from right to left:

Warmaker: chief weapons-master.

Lore-Gesith: Hordak's mentor. Close to the end of his life span at around 3400, he can no longer fight. Hordak, whom Prime originally created as a companion or the equivalent of a son as an experimental clone, was decanted with a juvenile mind in the body of an adult. He needed some common sense and manners hammered into his skull. Reprogramming was rarely practiced in the Order.

Left Hand (of Light-Bringer): programmer, one of the best fighters in the cadre, and sports a questionable sense of humor. C. 500 years old. He was not originally decanted as a Brother-Knight, but gradually rose from the lower ranks.

Light-Bringer, c. 200 here.

Right Hand (of Light-Bringer): grumpy military tactician, possibly a Horde priest. Over 3000 (changed his age recently), yet still an agile menace on the battlefield.

Victualler: chief supplier of materiel.

Archiater: chief physician.

Yes, two of them have beards. 😂 The entire generation of Lore-Gesith harbored genes for facial hair growth. Victualler is much younger, but emerged from a small experimental patch whose DNA was mixed with older genetic material.

---

A possible outfit design for Lore-Gesith.

Circle-Closer is a Horde mortician. Also Wrong Hordak in a previous, much darker existence, before he was reprogrammed over and over again after Hordak's exile and lost his old personality. He's either a lower-ranking Brother-Knight or belongs to the Brother-Captains, which is the tier just beneath.

L'ARCHIATER

Pochi lo sanno, ma nel 142 d.c., venne istituita, in tutto l'Impero Romano, per ordine di Antonino Pio, la professione del medico municipale, chiamato archiater, ovvero il medico pubblico cittadino, insomma il medico della mutua degli antichi romani. Naturalmente il medico stava in città, per i villaggi invece i cittadini malati dovevano raggiungere la città più prossima, il municipio più vicino. Il medico privato invece era chiamato medicus.

Ne ebbero diritto tutti i cives romani, pertanto esclusi gli schiavi e gli stranieri, ma vigeva per tutto l'impero romano, da occidente all'oriente, dal settentrione europeo al meridione africano. Mai stato fece opera tanto grandiosa. L'architater faceva diagnosi, dava le erbe e le medicine, operava chirurgicamente, curava i denti e le ossa rotte.

I Romani infatti avevano medici, medicine, chirurghi e dentisti, anche se non si conoscevano nè batteri nè virus, scoperti solo nel 1800, per cui erano sconosciuti il contagio e le cause di molte malattie.

Tuttavia i medici romani, anche se non sterilizzavano, tenevano in gran conto la pulizia, tanto che avevano bende pulite e cofanetti e cassette ove tenevano gli attrezzi ben puliti e, se erano di ferro, ben oliati con puro olio di oliva.

Anticamente la medicina proveniva dalle erbe, e la loro ricerca era affidata alle donne. Anche se teoricamente doveva essere il pater familia a prendersi cura della famiglia e pure degli schiavi, in realtà erano le romane a prendersi cura dei familiari con impacchi, decotti, impiastri e tisane dei malati in famiglia, ed erano sempre le donne a fare le levatrici.

Catone si irritò molto per l'uso di valersi dei medici, soprattutto quelli greci che avevano invaso Roma, trascurando i buoni usi antichi e ci ha tramandato che la medicina domestica si basava essenzialmente sull'uso del cavolo, del vino e sul pronunciamento di filastrocche magiche (formule o invocazioni). Egli sintetizza così la cura del pater familiae:

 "Forniti di una canna verde, si reciti la formula "motas uaeta daries dardaries, asiadarides una te pes" e si canti ogni giorno "haut haut istasis tarsis ardannabon" e si guarirà così ogni male"

(Marco Porcio Catone, "De agri coltura", 160)

Per fortuna però c'erano le donne della famiglia e poi i medici, e per ciò che riguardava invece le malattie più gravi o la chirurgia, gli uomini che ne avevano possibilità andavano a studiarla nei paesi più progrediti in materia, in Grecia e in Egitto, ma esisteva anche una progredita medicina etrusca.

Nell'ambulatorio veniva attrezzata una piccola farmacia dove le sostanze semplici erano collocate in scatole di legno o vasi di terracotta o di ceramica sigillata (aretina) con l'indicazione del contenuto. Anche nelle case si attrezzarono minuscole farmacie, con cofanetti in metallo, osso o avorio, con diversi scomparti, con bende e medicinali di base per un pronto soccorso.

Averhill Episode 68: In the Palace of House Umber

Mel was soon visited by the Archiater of House Umber, Elsarwyn. She appeared strangely young, younger than Mel herself, and asked her to submit to magic that would compel her to tell the truth, reluctantly Mel agreed.

Elsarwyn asked Mel’s name, how old she was, where she was from with a strange urgency, and only then did she ask for more details about their quest. Mel was reluctant to explain but when she described where the salts were from, Elsarwyn was horrified; They Abyss is a place of pure evil and corruption, and that influence had now infected Sehanine’s very home.

Sehanine herself was no longer responding to prayers, and her home in the Spire of Joy was now in house Ardent territory, beyond the fog of war. They had sent petitioners regardless but they had not returned.

With the corruption spreading no one could be truly trusted, but Elsarwyn was most concerned about the Candlemaster, who had been in charge of developing uses for the salt. She said she would help them escape rather than let them go openly and Mel asked her to get them their weapons back. She said she would.

Ris meanwhile used her cloak of blink to try and get out of her room, but the barrier extended into the ethereal plane. Her frustration brought the guards running and she was able to slip past them. Ris explored the palace looking for Lusan and by the front doors she spotted the Candlemaster and Trina, who was clearly less than happy to see him. He insisted on entering the palace and speaking to the Archiater and was reluctantly let in, with attending automatons, including a clockwork beetle.

Eventually Ris found a young elven girl who appeared to be looking for someone. She turned out to be Archiater Elsarwyn and looking for Ris herself. She explained what was going on, and promised to move Lusan to the library.

The rest of the party meanwhile were served dinner, and Mel’s came with a side of giant magical emerald.

The crew of the Tibor was also marched through the palace as well. Wrath managed to have a brief message exchange with one who informed him that Silas had gone to seek help from Nepril.

Time passed, and Flick noticed something climbing over the wall, the guards running. Elsarwyn sent a message telepathically to Ris that the time had come, and she lowered the force barriers in front of the rooms.

There were still guards in the hallway, however and Ris tried to distract them with ball bearings. She got their attention at least.  She tried to break down Wrath’s door, and the guards, clearly under orders to try and avoid harming their guests, used a variety of charm spells to try and keep them from escaping. Eventually, even with Wrath still charmed, they ran low on magic and decided to raise the alarm rather than fight.

Wrath had a plan; he roped the party together and gave them invisibility, and they went in search of Lusan. The alarm had been raised, but they found the library, and added Lusan to their invisible conga line. Next Wrath said he wanted to return to the Hall of Navigators. When they arrived he took down the portrait of Ris’s father and they started cutting it out of its frame. Eventually a pair of automaton guards arrived and Wrath distracted them and led them away long enough for the others to obtain the painting. Now looking for an exit, they tried to find a garden, and instead entered a room with a vast waterfall, the falling water directed carefully to shape the form of Sehanine herself. The party moved to cross the room, and the water started to rise, filling the chamber, and then a whirlpool formed, and only Flick was not drawn in. Through magic and muscle, the party swam, and pulled themselves and each other out of the water and up to the gallery level of the room.

As they were doing so, the Candlemaster himself located them and teleported in nearby. He fired a lightning cannon at them as they fled, counterspelling Wrath’s attempt to fireball him back. As soon as they were out of sight, they quickly healed somewhat and reapplied the invisibility spell to those who had lost it.

Andromachus (#greece🇬🇷 🇬🇷  Ἀνδρόμαχος; 1st century) was the name of two Greek physicians, father and son, who lived in the time of Nero. Andromachus the Elder, was born in Crete, and was physician to Nero, 54-68 AD. He is principally celebrated for having been the first person on whom the title of "Archiater" is known to have been conferred, and also for having been the inventor of a very famous compound medicine and antidote, which was called after his name Theriaca Andromachi, which long enjoyed a great reputation. Andromachus has left us the directions for making this strange mixture in a Greek elegiac poem, consisting of 174 lines, and dedicated to #nero .Galen has inserted it in two of his works,[and says that Andromachus chose this form as being more easily remembered than prose, and less likely to be altered. #pharma #discoveries #biotech #medecine #research #apothecaries #chimist #drugs #nantes #heritage #loireatlantique (à Archives départementales de Loire-Atlantique) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQPCN2pg8t2/?utm_medium=tumblr

doctor (n.)

c. 1300, doctour, "Church father," from Old French doctour and directly from Medieval Latin doctor "religious teacher, adviser, scholar," in classical Latin "teacher," agent noun from docere "to show, teach, cause to know," originally "make to appear right," causative of decere "be seemly, fitting" (from PIE root *dek- "to take, accept").

Meaning "holder of the highest degree in a university, one who has passed all the degrees of a faculty and is thereby empowered to teach the subjects included in it" is from late 14c. Hence "teacher, instructor, learned man; one skilled in a learned profession" (late 14c.).

The sense of "medical professional, person duly licensed to practice medicine" (replacing native leech (n.2)) grew gradually out of this from c. 1400, though this use of the word was not common until late 16c. The transitional stage is exemplified in Chaucer's Doctor of phesike (Latin physica came to be used extensively in Medieval Latin for medicina).

That no man ... practyse in Fisyk ... but he be Bacheler or Doctour of Fisyk, havynge Lettres testimonyalx sufficeantz of on of those degrees of the Universite. [Rolls of Parliament, 1421]

Middle English also used medicin for "a medical doctor" (mid-15c.), from French. Similar usage of the equivalent of doctor is colloquial in most European languages: Italian dottore, French docteur, German doktor, Lithuanian daktaras, though these typically are not the main word in those languages for a medical healer. For similar evolution, compare Sanskrit vaidya- "medical doctor," literally "one versed in science." German Arzt, Dutch arts are from Late Latin archiater, from Greek arkhiatros "chief healer," hence "court physician." French médecin is a back-formation from médicine, replacing Old French miege, from Latin medicus.

Phrase what the doctor ordered "just the thing" is attested by 1914.
