"Separated"

(Should I put hastag for everyone...)

[worldless-daily]

Okay, I will probably get some lesson about how is not possible, but how about we see your idea of an Edda x Aven fankid? Will they have both of their parents powers? Will its color be a mix of their parents? Or will it be green since the start? Bonus if we see them in a family activity! (maybe even visiting grandpapa Summum!)

Day 23 // "The Child"

I am honestly not very creative when it comes to things like this, so I went with the simplest idea that came to mind at the moment...

Yeahh I don't think starfolks can reproduce like that but I do love and adore the idea of a wholesome little family dynamic🥹🥹

I also had another idea, that the duo just somehow formed a found family dynamic with this little sentient fusion star, instead of Seth being Edda and Aven's biological child. It's more possible, me thinks.

Roman Sculpture of Arimanes, The Yorkshire Museum, York

Arimanes was the devil who fought Mithras. He is shown with a lion's head, wings and a snake around his middle. He holds a staff of power and the keys to his kingdom. Volusius Irenaeus commissioned this sculpture after Arimanes helped him to successfully complete some unknown venture.

Il Leopardi che mi piace, radicale nel suo pessimismo. ❤

Inno ad Arimane

Re delle cose, autor del mondo, arcana

Malvagità, sommo potere e somma

Intelligenza, eterno

Dator de’ mali e reggitor del moto,

io non so se questo ti faccia felice, ma mira e godi, contemplando eterno…

… Natura è come

un bambino che disfa subito il fatto.

Vecchiezza.

Noia o passioni piene di dolore e disperazione: amore.

Te con diversi nomi il volgo appella Fato, Natura e Dio.

Ma tu sei Arimane.

Taccio le tempeste, le pesti, tuoi doni, che altro non sai donare.

Tu dai gli ardori e i ghiacci e il mondo delira cercando nuovi ordini e leggi e spera perfezione.

Ma l’opra tua rimane immutabile, perché natura dell’uomo sempre regneranno l’ardimento e l’inganno, e la sincerità e la modestia resteranno indietro, e la fortuna sarà nemica al valore, e il merito non sarà buono a farsi largo, e il giusto e il debole sarà oppresso.

Vivi, Arimane, e trionfi, e sempre trionferai.

Invidia dagli antichi attribuita agli dèi verso gli uomini.

Perché, dio del male, hai tu posto nella vita qualche apparenza di piacere? L’amore? Per travagliarci col desiderio, col confronto degli altri e del tempo nostro passato?

Io non so se tu ami le lodi o le bestemmie. Tua lode sarà il pianto, testimone del nostro patire. Pianto da me per certo tu non avrai: ben mille volte dal mio labbro il tuo nome maledetto sarà.

Ma io non mi rassegnerò.

Se mai grazia fu chiesta ad Arimane concedimi ch’io non passi il settimo lustro.

Io sono stato, vivendo, il tuo maggior predicatore, l’apostolo della tua religione. Ricompensami. Non ti chiedo nessuno di quelli che il mondo chiama beni: ti chiedo quello che è creduto il massimo de’ mali, la morte (non ti chiedo ricchezze, non amore, sola causa degna di vivere). Non posso, non posso più della vita.

Giacomo Leopardi

Mh...........

Edda is comforble

Also they kept the Ariman and named him Gerald

[occasionalflicker]

If Aven's scarf can stretch infinitely, would it work with Edda's hair?

Behold and kneel before her absolute greatness (and fluffiness)

Il risvolto positivo.

La miniserie su Leopardi mi è piaciuta molto.

Confermo ciò che già pensavo. Giacomo Leopardi ha avuto una mente e un'anima gigantesche inserite in un contesto mediamente composto da persone ottuse, a partire dai suoi genitori. Cresciuto rinchiuso in una casa, la sua mente e la sua anima già viaggiavano oltre.

La sua anima inquieta e il suo essere un tipo fragile e solitario non hanno fatto altro che concorrere alla formazione del suo assoluto genio poetico e filosofico. Giacomo nei sui componimenti non metteva tuttavia in risalto solo tristezza e malinconia, ma anche bellezza e amore.

Approfondirò sicuramente in misura maggiore questo grande genio. Merita assolutamente.

Request: The duo finding a place that is the equivalent of the Habana/Cancun/Florida whatever, relaxing at the beach! Bonus if starfolk from both sides (maybe even from the greens) are there too and are like "Yeah, war can wait, this Copacabana beach fun can't!"

Day 14 // "Beach of Peace"

I got really lazy and couldn't fit many starfolks in this one but I hope this is alright!

RP session w/ @ask-hellenzkrodile

Ariman takes a small group of his soldiers with him to explore new universes in order to collect resources that will help his technological advances and make the Imperial Federation not only grow as a powerful Empire, but also turn it into a galactic power.

He and his soldiers board a spaceship that has the symbol of the Imperial Federation engraved on it, and then open a wormhole that teleports them to the Invaders' universe, teleporting them directly to the terraformed Venus.

Once Ariman and his group land on the Venus, they begin to explore the area and use scanners that help them visualize the terrain in a 3D holographic visualization. It was at that moment that Ariman visualizes one of the Flying Shelt, which catches his attention. So Ariman orders his men to capture the Flying Shelt to investigate and study the creature closely. But at that moment, a group of Invaders who were in the area realize the situation and at that moment is when they decide to capture Ariman.

Upon noticing their presence after receiving news from a Heaven Globule herald, the Invader King instructs the warty, liquidy sphere that his subjects will capture Ariman for questioning. The Heaven Globule herald then gathers a horde of Invader Drones, Morph Changers, and Parasites to deal with Ariman and his soldiers. After sharing direct orders from the Invader King, the horde sets out on the hunt. It's a massive horde, presumably larger than the group Ariman compiled for his expedition.

A small group of Morph Changers leads the charge, commanding their comrades through a series of gurgling sounds, raspy breathing, and expressive body language that they seem to clearly understand. To aid these militaristic aliens if needed, a few Hunter Walkers, Smashers, and Crab Tanks are being deployed.

Ground and winged Invader Drones and Flying Parasites surround Ariman and his soldiers, staring them down like delectable prey. For some odd reason, none of these insectoid extraterrestrials seem to be armed. However, a small handful of Invader Drones are piloting Invader UFOs, which carefully close in. With cautious examination, they scrutinise Ariman and his team of soldiers with ferocious intensity.

A particularly battle-hardened Elite Invader approaches Ariman and emits a guttural growl, accompanied by a high-pitched chirp and a subtle, deliberate gesture with its bulbous head. The Elite Invader appears to be gesturing towards its comrades as if indicating that Ariman might need to be escorted somewhere.

Hi!

I have a question about the names of transcendence enemies.

Quimera was formed through failed absorption of Moon by Ariman, so question is: did the other light and dark halves of transcendence beings, like Duality and Adaptation, have any names?

No, I’m afraid not.

[octahedral-chaos]

So... What's up with Bob? Why are they freed from the conflict?

Well... you see...

Worldless' initiation of the conflict is a bit... interesting...

It's less "Starfolks got their minds taken away by them" and more "Worldless clouded their minds and essentially made them into puppets." They could break free from the metaphorical strings, but this is extremely difficult due to the mind haze and Worldless' powers.

The most sure-fire way to break out of the "Puppeted" state is to transcend. The second best way is to kinda... try to fight the mind control AND strings.

Bob is an extremely lucky little ariman

Starfolk Lore!

(I'm stealing this term, if you don't mind >:D)

Anyways, Worldless lore! Because lore is my favorite part of every game.

From what we know, there are two main natures -- blue and orange -- that are constantly at war with each other. Once one wins over the other, the victor absorbs the loser, taking their energy and shifting both of their forms. They then swap natures, and the victor goes on their way while the loser bums around, probably out of exhaustion or smth. Blue starfolk tend to have either lightning or ice natures, while orange starfolk favor wind and fire (because colors~)

However, rarely, the absorption results in a sort of merge where the combatants fuse to become a single green starfolk. This is where Adaptation, Duality, and Yin-Yang come from, and you can see it happen in the Eastern area of the map. If I remember correctly, it's a crescent and ariman(?) that forms Quimera.

These merged starfolk gain an incredible amount of power, as the most powerful enemies in the game (*cough* Summum *cough*) and can be assumed to be a sort of ascendance, as they no longer obey either of their original natures. Also, from the character designs, it appears that the more green a starfolk has, the more powerful and "near-perfect" they are, hence the extreme difficulty of Summum's fight. The sole exception to this appears to be Edda and Aven.

While yes, Duality has two individual, fully-functioning parts that each have at least some independent thought, Edda and Aven are two completely separate beings. They are physically separated, even though you never see them next to each other unless it's in cutscenes or in special moves, unlike Duality who clearly merges to perform their giant star attacks. Part of that is logicked away to the functionality of gameplay controls, but still. There is no evidence of their merge until they touch, in which green light covers the screen, or the giant sword from Unified Division appears. We are clearly told that whatever they have going on is special in a way that has caught the eye of what is closest to a god in their universe (which is a whole other can of worms that I'll write about later). Either way, they're much stronger than the traditional green starfolk, as seen by the fact that people can beat Summum in 4 minutes *Gestures at speedrun video*.

Now, I also want to touch on whatever the heck is up with Edda and Aven's absorption. We can see in the background -- within 3 minutes of starting the game -- that whenever a starfolk is absorbed, they swap natures and are distorted beyond recognition. However, whenever Edda (and later Aven) does the same, they remain perfectly untouched while the enemy is completely obliterated. I, personally, think this is an ability granted to them following Aved's failed absorption of Edda at the start, where the two are something like a "ever-strengthening" or "consuming" being like how Adaptation is the "ever-changing" and Yin-Yang is the "stable yet unstable" being. Their initial merge is also probably why their own kinds attack them, which took me embarrassingly long to realize.

That's all I can really think of at the moment, but I might write more later.

Please let me know if I messed up or need to add stuff! I'm writing this all from memory!
