Questions (and answers) that I used to make Tinker

Wow, finally some canon information. (Under cut). This could be edited at any time, but for now it's canon yay. Except it's just answered questions... so... Uhm, yeah.

Where were they born? Walter Manor, 1895

What were their childhood experiences like? He remembers only a few things about his “childhood” after his memories were corrupted and lost after being updated to QWERTY software when he was discovered, but most of the experiences we’re overwhelmingly traumatic such as being abandoned for more than 100 years in a bunker and having his core shattered and mixed with the wrong matter type.

What significant events have shaped their life? Most of the memories stated above shaped him but also the fact that he is powered by a wind-up mechanism where every time it clicks it adds another 10 minutes to his time functioning (in actual acts he will break down randomly to be wound-up by a Walter Worker or nearby bot.

What does your character want? To be seen as an equal and loving individual, capable of great things despite his malfunctions.

Strengths (Physical, mental, emotional) Good at comforting, resilient, can self-reconstruct if taken apart due to strong magnets in his joints, intense loyalty, good with children and animals (as well as adults, but mostly teens and kids)

Weaknesses (Physical, mental, emotional) Self-doubt, irritable, frequent trauma flashbacks if he’s in the wrong place, has to force remorse, needs to be wound-up to function, fear of abandonment, unspecified tics

Are they introverted or extroverted? Ambivert/Depends on the situation

Shy or outgoing? Kind or selfish? Outgoing, kind

Create a list of traits that describe their character. Conscientious, clumsy, silly, thoughtful, sympathetic, doesn’t understand empathy, impulsive, blunt, impatient

Do they have a specific way of speaking, 

A unique fashion style, About as steam-powered robot fit you could get

Or an unusual hobby? Bakes, collects things in nature (especially feathers and pinecones), bird watching, singing/humming, and imitating bird calls

What are their relationships like with family, Extremely friendly and a bit overwhelmingly affectionate with his robot siblings, he feels in debt to VI in a way and always makes him gifts and food despite VI saying he doesn’t have to

Friends, He’s extremely loyal and will do almost anything if he thinks it’s in a friends best interest (and his)

And enemies? He lives by “keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer”, he tries to know everything about his enemies and wants to be able to verbally attack them if needed

What inner struggles does your character face? He has a fear of abandonment due to being left in Walter Manor’s old bomb shelter until only a couple years after the band was started and he was discovered by VI.

How are they around new people?

He’s pretty friendly and ready for anything when meeting someone but actively looks for red flags so that he can get out if he needs to.

Do they speak in an accent?

He speaks in an American accent with a slight English twang.

Have they tried learning a new language?

He’s fluent in bird calls.

How many languages do they know?

Three, English, bird calls, and a bit of Spanish.

What is a song that will always make them cry?

You Are My Sunshine - Johnny Cash, Put Your Records On - Corrine Bailey Rae

How do they cry? heaving? silently? sobbing?

Heaving or sobbing, he cries loudly and shakes and goes full on mental breakdown. He only cries silently when he’s holding back tears.

What is the first thing they notice about a stranger?

Eye color and face shape, he analyzes a lot of things, though, as he wants to remember everyone.

What is their humor like?

His humor is a little blunt but he also makes silly puns, lighthearted jokes, and tries to hint at dark humor at times, not getting too deep into that, though

Who would they quote?

He frequently displays signs of echolalia and quotes pretty much anything he’s interested in and his family.

What could make them change their mind?

Hardcore evidence and reliable sourcing. Our trusting someone way too much…

Who is the first person they'd call?

If in trouble, probably VI or Spine, but for a sleepover… Everyone.

How are they around animals?

He absolutely loves animals! Especially birds, his favorites are scarlet macaws and cockatoos!

What is something they've never told anyone?

I wouldn’t break my boy’s trust!

What are habits they've picked up from other people?

He frequently picks up speech patterns, nervous tics, and facial expressions, but he has mostly picked up Rabbit’s stature, nervous tics, and even a small stutter on the letter S.

What are their guilty pleasures?

Hair styling- He loves to braid and comb hair and play with color and shape and Rabbit is happy to volunteer.

What is something they're staunchly against?

Discriminating against someone’s differences!

Do they speak a certain way?

He doesn’t really speak “a certain way”, he just has some unusual speech patterns with echolalia, vocal tics, and a small stutter.

Can they fall in love?

He frequently falls in love, just not romantically. He’s platonically in love with most of his friends and alterously is in love with tons of things.

What would they rather die than do?

Hurt somebody the way he’s been hurt. 

What is their biggest mistake?

Not believing in himself and thinking Peter Walter I would come back for him.

His key can forcefully be turned so that he can’t move, but he’s extremely sensitive about it and only his close friends know about it as it’s associated with a lot of his trauma.

When his time runs out on his wind-up maneuver, he doesn’t “die”, he can still talk, think, see, and hear, just not move.

Was never actually built with a way to “turn-off”, he just gets… stuck. So yes, he remembers almost every year (the ones not deleted in the system transfer) stuck in the bomb shelter.

I'm gonna go off on this-

OKAY LETS GO THROUGH THE ROBINS-

Dick - There was a LOT of reasons Dick left being Robin. One was because Bruce stopped listening to him, but also because he realized he and Bruce didn't see eye to eye, and he needed to get away to figure himself out. (Revision version of Dick is "I was forced into this" but reality says "Dick was going to murder Zuko if Bruce liked it or not, so he had to learn to NOT-")

Jason - Jason didn't listen to Bruce BECAUSE HE WANTED TO FIND HIS MOM, went to iran, and was killed.

Tim - Tim was a great Robin, and Bruce ACTUALLY did Listen to him! Tim would tell him he needed to sit this out, and HE WOULD LISTEN! Bruce did have a few problems about ya know, Jason's Death, and would call Tim "Jason" sometimes, but yet, he got better. In the end, Damian was the one who tried to force himself to be Robin, Bruce said no, but after Bruce's Death, Dick forced Tim to get rid of the Robin Persona. (Not Tim's Choice)

Steph - I love Steph, but gosh darn it, she was Robin for 4 days and NO ONE LIKED WORKING WITH HER- SHE WAS FIRED!! Tim's dad learned he was Robin, and a week later, he died. Tim was forced to stop being Robin, and during that time Steph was Robin. Max she could have been Robin for a Week, BUT we know she didn't last that long, because Tim came back and even during Identity Crisis he was Robin again. A LOT happened that week.

Duke - Duke just got here.

Cass - Cass has never listened.

For Damian, my friend thinks he thinks this way because Dick was his Batman for a while, and that's probably how Dick saw things. So yeah. That's what got me thinking this chapter.

Mor'iargalthil: Some Garb & Lore

Mor'iargalthil is an imagined place in the northwest Grahtwood region during the Third Era, based off of ESO's established lore (which I have not played because I'm not super interested in playing a TES MMO, no shade tho).

The "av Mor'iargalthil" of Zath's name means "of/from an inhospitable grove" in Bosmeris (non-canon extension of canon language). Here he is in traditional Galthili garb, though he would have been much younger the last time he was there. He doesn't have antlers of his own like some Bosmer do btw, those are just sewn into his hood.

To make a long story shorter, Mor'iargalthil is a small clan of descendants from Gil-Var-Dell survivors who retreated to more isolated places. They're generally a dour and wary group. Galthili Bosmer observe the Green Pact, but are more entwined with neighboring Wood Orcs than other Valenwood Bosmer. This cultural exchange unexpectedly resulted in Galthili Bosmer incorporating Mauloch/Malacath into their pantheon alongside Y'ffre. Their traumatic history with Daedric Princes instilled a complicated mix of reverence and hatred, but Mauloch resides in a grey area and is an exception. His fables speak to them as people who feel they too were "consumed and twisted" by another force.

Here's some extra doodles and more clothing details under the cut.

Those aren't permanent tattoos, they're more akin to henna. Zath was born under the Serpent and it affects many aspects of his life, so he often adorns himself with the inauspicious sign.

Zath's hood is separate from the rest of the bow sleeve and can be attached to the beaded leather mantle instead.

Speaking of the hood, it has openings for the ears to keep that super cool merrish hearing unobstructed.

His thumb guard is made of mammal leather - I imagine most Bosmer use thumb-draw instead of finger-draw so that they can move around while keeping an arrow nocked.

These Bosmer use a lot of reptile parts for their leather and shells. Gators, turtles, etc., perhaps even the occasional Daedroth since regions of Tarlain Heights likely still have remnants of that influence.

The front half of the foot is exposed for tree-climbing, but the heel remains cushioned in soft leather. Bosmer unfortunately refuse to put those dogs away cause they gotta grip that tree bark.

As for the horn bow, I'm pretending Bosmer do some Special Stuff to make the horn more flexible, or it's just Magical Creature Materials(tm).

E3 is a Multiversal consuming monstrosity hellbent to make anything and anyone his plaything~ :3

My biggest art piece so far. Took me around 12h+ working on it

E3 as the Owl is simply a shell he uses to interact with people

Shedding that skin reveals the Eldritch “Godlike”Body underneath sculpted for devotion and faith as a religious symbol of sort.

And going past that all the way up we get the Celestial. A Swarm of all kinds of universes melded together fueling this universe eating furnace as it spreads the influence throughout the multiverse devouring worlds on the regular.

The purest form of his Instinctive need to devour symbolized as this huge towering behemoth of worlds, stars etc.

i think the fact that i have so many song recs on kab really conveys the fact that a lot of the music i like listening to is in line with more conspiratorial stuff and the like lmao

[spookythesillyfella]

i really wanted to mention this at some point and . while i would've rather done it in writing . because i have no motivation to i guess ill just post this to my tumblr

hv brendon and shrig are essentially two sides of the same coin – hiding a core part of who they are from family

however ...

one of them is fine with this . instead blaming his environment and the people surrounding him for being unaccepting and forcing him to pursue interests he has no sort of actual care for – this retaliation is brendon

the other is ashamed of this – this isn't who you "really" are ; you're so much better than this "you" who wants to make music . "you" are flawless . "divine" – it's all your fault that you ended up like this and you have to fix it – this retaliation "is not" shrignold . it's just a "delusion"

Sometimes I see things pop up in tags or on tiktok and man I will never understand what drives folks to push Purity Culture vs Irredeemability on flawed and problematic characters in the Flawed and Problematic Characters Learn To Do Better As A Primary Story Mechanic fandom

[igneouswyvern]

making content exclusively for yourself is all fun and games until you make smth you're proud of and you turn and look and there's literally not a soul who actually cares

some random OC picrew stuff, haha. someone recently found an old post of mine on my archived blog where I used this particular picrew, so I felt like revisiting it with Khalan and Antony since they didn't exist at the time I made that original post!

got two variations on Ravenwood RP Khalan, as well as his edgy Hatif persona from Codename: IRIS. for Antony, I went with both his Primordial SMP version (struggled with the outfit, not super happy with it but i couldn't figure out how else to make it mimic his tunic/sash), and also his Ravenwood version :'0

if anyone wants to add onto this with their own OCs, feel free to do so! I can't say I've ever seen any OC-centric picrew posts, so maybe that'd be fun! :D
