Clairvoyance in Bygone Wisdoms (OC)

I was going to share my more normal iterator OCs first but I haven’t finished drawing them, meanwhile this has been sitting around for a while, so you’re getting my most canon non-compliant asshole lizard iterator first sorry lmao Their (uses any pronouns) name is Clairvoyance in Bygone Wisdoms, if you want more info it’s below the cut (which is below the image description)

[Image ID: Facing left, an iterator with a lizard-like design that has four arms and two legs, each with three fingers tipped with metallic gold claws. The pads of its feet and hands are vibrant red and yellow. Its body is primarily navy blue with a cyan underbelly which extends to its jaw and down its long tail, where it transitions into vibrant red and yellow before flaring out into a ribbon-like black fin with wavy metallic gold patterns. This motif is also seen on its crest, which is attached to a large red, yellow, and blue forehead horn before extending, decreasing in size, down to the base of its moderate-length neck. It has a long snout tipped in yellow and red, with two nostrils and three round black eyes on each side of its head, and long golden antennae styled as horns. It has long whiskers which extend from its chin and back of its jaw. Starting from its forehead to halfway down its tail, it has wavy glowing yellow stripes. It has a metallic arm and wires connected to its back. End Description]

So let’s start with why they look like That; CiBW is a later generation iterator, the first to be constructed in a previously low-priority area (due to difficult terrain) which was only utilised as space began to run out. Both her name and puppet’s design follow the idea of looking for a novel solution stemming from a lens of tradition, a view which became somewhat more prevalent as a fatigue from no solution being found set in. The puppet is designed around a creature from mythology local to the area where he was built which would purportedly grant ascension to those who had broken their five natural urges, as well as an additional sixth criterion chosen by the creature; failing to meet these requirements would condemn you to the great cycle forever. The puppet’s colouration is a combination of the original mythological beast’s rich colours as well as the known visual properties of void fluid, an artistic representation of CiBW’s name and goal. The puppet is partly biological, but primarily mechanical. The former is limited to a small amount of musculature, skin, adipose, and their eyes (this being an artistic decision taken by the Ancients so that CiBW could ‘see the world as they do’ such that it may metaphorically inform their work rather than any functional purpose). Light entry into these eyes is controlled by external sphincters rather than internal irises. The nostrils are for show only. Everything required by the organic parts of the puppet is provided via a tube attached to their puppet (alongside their arm and umbilical), those required metabolites produced by specialised bacteria.

They are very conservative when it comes to their purpose and goal, something which has caused tensions between her and the youngest iterator in the small group (which has only four iterators). CiBW perceives finding the Great Solution as their ultimate moral duty and will do whatever it takes to ensure that goal is being pursued to the greatest extent possible by himself and fellow iterators, utilising whatever measures may be required to achieve that (including less-than-ethical ones). There’s more I could write but I think I’ll leave it off there because I’ve been procrastinating while typing up this post, lmk via reblogs/asks/etc if you have any further things you want to know

Based on a conversation with friends, OC vibe alignment chart (whether by personality or just the form of affection, mostly a combination of both) based on the nonsense words I've incorporated into my regular vocabulary from tumblr (ft. only the OCs I've been thinking about recently). Plus a template for those interested below the cut

ugh I wanna share and talk abt my iterators so bad but every artwork i start of them i never seem to finish (not in a reasonable timeframe at least) so i never get a platform to jump off and start talking abt them

here are their names, maybe throw some asks at me and i might answer with a doodle or smth. Or you can just send an ask as if it were an ask blog to one (or more) of them

The only ones i've somewhat fleshed out at the moment are these, which are all in one group. They are listed in descending order of seniority.

Clairvoyance in Bygone Wisdoms (Any) - Group senior

Wades through the Current (He/She)

Perceives One's Shadow (He/Him)

Enduring Veracity (They/Them) (they're the one in my pfp)
