#dream smp veernumbra

[raisans-art]

Will anyone care about this? Hah, no :) But I made a ton of sketches and this AU base has been my child for like 3 years now so guess I’m sharing.

This AU is based around a concept I made called Veernumbra. Veernumbra are creatures that are comprised of magic and a smokey black gas. They can solidify their form into different creatures they see, though their eyes will always be black and white and their forelegs/arms/whatever appendage will be black claws. That’s more-or-less the jist of it without me going into the magic system, the societal conditions, culture, language, diseases, stagnation, and every bit of lore I’ve made for this fricken concept.

If you do want to know more feel free to ask, I would be thrilled to answer (I’d also make little sketches for them too to help explanations)

Enjoy sketches

Ok, that Veernumbra au (hope I wrote it right) looks really interesting, can you explain it a bit more? Maybe the magic system? I always find those really cool.

Magic system! I’m particularly proud of this! I think it’s real unique to my knowledge. I won’t go into how the magic works within the Veernumbra anatomy so here’s just a rundown of the different states(types of magic that exist within a creature).

There are 4 different states: Terch, Reicho, Heilm, and Kiln

They all interact with each other negative and positive ways

Terch: the strongest of the states and used as offensive magic. It’s negated by Heilm and works best against Reicho.

Reicho: the toughest state and used as defensive magic. Reicho can only be harnessed instinctively unless one spends years and years learning to control it consciously. It is negated by Terch and is effective against Kiln.

Kiln: the weakest and most abundant state, and is the magic used for day to day happenings. Kiln also can dilute other magics to make reserves last longer or to lessen their affects. It’s negated by Reicho and effective against Heilm.

Heilm: the state with the smallest resivoir and is used as healing magic. It’s negated by Kiln and effective against Terch.

In veernumbra, are Tommy and wilbur still Phil's au?or they don't really exist here?

This was really confusing but I think you were asking if Wil and Tommy were Phil’s kids? If so, yes! Techno, Wilbur, and Tommy are all Phil’s Sprites(what Veernumbra call their offspring).

Since techno is a former stagnumbra, and can’t shift very well, the rest of the family will shift into pig forms for family photos

@kenji-arts got hissy that I didn’t mention the angst so here’s the angst you big piss baby (jk ily)

What they wanted me to share was the Veernumbra version of the exile arc summarized nicely by this:

Dream be using this exile as a way to get high quality drugs from Tommy’s gas since Tommy has high levels of Terch in his system and thus would heighten Dream’s Terch far more than Eret’s gas (which has been doing previously because he’s a prick).

Due to the constant withdrawals from his form, Tommy has gotten significantly smaller

Which leads to...

Pain.

There, you happy kenji? Everyone blame kenji for making me reveal the cold reality.

Flight sketches 3: Veernumbra AU

A couple of stagnumbra stuff that’ll make sense to no one and Dream having a bad time in prison

Have fun with this

[raisans-art]

Hello I have veernumbra au questions because I’m starved and I miss it

1. How exactly did Jack dying and coming back to? The same as canon? Did he just lien almost stagnate but refused????

2. Would Las Nevadas exist here?

No cool monster design, but I did have it so that during doomsday, he took a nasty blow to his core and he now can’t generate an arm (I’m gonna design him a little prosthetic later and think about the technical aspects of how Veernumbra prosthetics work

As for Las Navadas

Sure

[raisans-art]

More Veernumbra? More Veernumbra.

So Wil and Techno.

Look at those lads.

These lads are twins which is incredibly rare for Veernumbra and even rarer for both to live past Spritehood. Twins occur when a sprite is being formed and as it is, the Central Core System(CCS) begins to split and what would normally be a solid sphere becomes two fractured bits of the whole while any smaller bits disintegrate far too soon after creation for any sentient being to form.

Due to the broken state of the CCS that the two new sprites have, they incur a slew of health problems. The sprites will often have contrasting effects. If one is unable to use Reicho magic but is a master at Terch, the the other will most likely have a greater proficiency in Reicho while they are lacking in Terch.

Looking at Wilbur and Techno

Techno has some visual impairment in one eye, was born stagnant(don’t worry about that), only has small gaps in his form that he is unable to fill, and his CCS is always exposed.

Wilbur has a lot of gaps in his form that he is unable to fill (he wears human clothes to hide the pockets), is incredibly deficient in magic (particularly Terch and Heilm), and his CCS is in a constant state of instability (don’t worry about this either).

They are a pair of messes but Philza loves them anyway.

Due to his stagnation (don’t worry about it) Techno can’t shift his form without pain and incredible concentration, so he stays in his pig form nearly all the time. To make him feel better, Wil will also shift into a pig form since he is much looser than Techno.

(This is when Wil shifts clothes onto his form instead of manually wearing clothes)

Whenever Phil, Wil, and Techno would go out to any formal event, taking a photo, or are consciously meeting someone for the first time, they will all take pig forms so that they can cement themselves as a family to new people.

I believe in pig phil supremacy.

Tommy does this as well but I didn’t draw him so pllllllbbbbt later

I hope you liked this little au ramble. It was a lot of worldbuilding things and info that I tried not to go too far into as to not take up your entire day

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to invade my ask box

It’s missing veernumbra hours

maybi request some tubbo and Fundy hunter shenagians? Or perhaps some veernumbra Foolish?

VEERNUMBRA

I will always draw Veernumbra :)

[raisans-art]

Is it okay if you can provide a list on who's Veernumbra and who’s human?

Humans:

Veernumbra:

Anyone not mentioned can be assumed to be human until I state otherwise! (Except Foolish I just forgot to draw him he’s a Veernumbra;w;)

In the Drugs animatic you can see full Veernumbra Ranboo in the background but after some thinking I thought it’d be cooler if he was a Humabreed like Fundy so we got two halfbreeds running around.

So just ignore the Ranboo in the video

[raisans-art]

May I ask about the stagnumbras? I'm real curious about causes and/or how they work. Also, Idk if I got it right, but in a drawing of Veernumbra Techno there was a stagnumbra behind it that defnetly wasn't Tommy, and below that there was what I guess is Tommy "talking" to it... Is that Ranboo? Memory boy also is a stagnumbra? Or did I misunderstood and it's someone else/they can be manually made (since Techno has this Wither thing and having a beast as a kinda pet/friend is very Techno like)

Ok. Ok I think this will make sense

And as for the other stagnumbra displayed

Well

It’s our favorite lil gentleman

He had a fast-acting stagnation as a result of his explosion of l’manburg that took only 3 minutes to complete.

Here are two more sketches of the boy

[raisans-art]

How will the others react to stagnumbra Tommy? (Idk if I brote it well)

They’re terrified

[raisans-art]

In veernumbra au,how would be the "racooinit" first encounter with technoblade?

Pretty typical

[raisans-art]

Veernumbra AU question because I have done nothing but look at Stagnumbra Wilbur for the past three hours.

What’s like the general situation surrounding him? Like, he stagnated after the explosion of L’manberg, does that change how people see the event or do they still ultimately hate him?

What do they even do with him following the event? Does Techno manage to calm him down or anything?

Sorry for all the questions I’m just in love

(I finally worked up to the Veernumbra questions I’m so happy)

If anything, they hate Wilbur more now. First he blows up their country, then he stagnates and is now going to kill them?(not true. For the most part, Wilbur is a docile stagnumbra unless he’s cornered(which he does get cornered quite often) but we’re working with a mass stigma and stereotype of stagnumbra here)

Nearly everyone watched the stagnation happen and saw Wil lash out against Phil (since he cornered Wilbur) and immediately began hunting him down

(Nothing short of terrifying)

Techno does manage to find Wil first and since he is a former stagnumbra

He’s able get Wilbur to safety

[raisans-art]

Where does techno finds stagbur (stagnumbra Wilbur) and where does he hides him?

What did Phil do the first time he found both stagnumbra beings (Wilbur and Tommy)?

Techno found Wilbur in the forest around his house and has him living in the basement. Wilbur isn’t really hiding since they’re far enough away from everyone that people won’t run into him so Wil kinda roams as much as he wants before coming back to Techno’s house

As for Phil’s reactions to Wil and Tommy respectively

Phil was a bit more collected and ready when Wil stagnated since he was right there when it happened.

Although Tommy’s stagnation was slow-acting, Phil was not at all prepared for the vicious, hungry monster that left the prison.

[raisans-art]

will dream get any trauma from the whole being torn apart by Tommy thing?

Oh yeah you don’t get absolutely fucked by a giant multi-armed monster and come out it thinkin about daisies.

It for sure wasn’t what a recovering addict needed

Thank you @cyan-id-e for giving the song to me for me to hyperfixate on.

Dream is an arsehole

Look in the tag “Dream Smp Veernumbra” for more au info

Hope you all enjoy the animatic and the end credits scene :3
