Hermit Craft Rising AU: HC OCTAGON

A gigantic, octopodal octagon-shaped weapons platform developed by Architech Worldwide that far outscales any other Hermit Craft. Equipped with a lightning-storm generator, feet with gigantic retractable blades, and railgun cannons, among other less noteworthy but just as deadly armaments. Designed to completely bulldoze and level densely packed buildings (such as industrial complexes or urban zones,) OCTAGON was created by Architech Worldwide (based on plans stolen from Dr. Manfred) with the express purpose of countering other Hermit Craft in combat by any means necessary short of a thermobaric nuclear bomb. Initially designed as an unmanned HC, the final iteration required a pilot. Capable of tunneling but rather slow at doing so.

The counterpart to MG EXCELSUS, this was inspired by not only the Season 8 Octagon build by Ren and Doc, but also LaxyDaxy's reimagining of it (albeit rotated by 22.5 degrees!)

Gem, to Pearl: This chicken nugget is shaped like a heart. That's how I feel about you!

Pearl: *starts crying and hugs Gem*

Ren, to Doc: This chicken nugget is shaped like New Jersey. That's how I feel about you.

Doc: What on earth does that mean

[foolofatook001]

the DocM77 Effect: similar to the Grian Effect, except in this case you start watching all the other hermit POVs because you need to see a normal minecraft player reacting to the latest insanity that he’s cooked up (with the greatest of affection lol)

Ever since we found that crystal, purple’s been all the rage

Ren stood in front of the  mesh of tracks, the railroad like tracks spread off into the distance, under the half built dome.  Rows upon rows of them, stretching into the distance slightly merging if he let his eyes rest in one spot.  Among the wood and iron, picked out in gold, something that looked like an eight-sided knot.

As he stared at the odd, nearly mansion sized, array - a few flaes of snow floated down into Ren's hair.

Ren's partner in whatever this was, Doc, had said that this was supposed to bend "the fabric of space-time"? as he called it.  

Well, given the season - this was as good a way to test it out as any.  

He carefully smoothed out the bow on the top of the paper wrapped parcel, just the size of his hand and placed it in the chest.

6.12 miles away somewhere, resting on a high peak with snow blowing in his face, Doc felt something settle into his pocket.

He pulled it out, avoiding the bow and shredding a corner with his clumsy paw until a purple glittering piece of glass fell into it.  The note read. "Ever since we found those crystal's purple's been popular! This should fit into your cane - or the robo-leg. <3 Ren.

He scribbled a note back. "Check the kitchen." and placed it into his pocket.  6.12 miles away, the chest filled again.

I love hermitcraft, obviously, my main blog is dedicated to them specifically

Hermit seasons I’ve seen

Season 3-the start of something great, while not best as big in scale as later seasons, the hermits focus more on community events pranks etc. 7/10

Season 4- everyone settling on or around the mesa biome made the world seem far more connected, and the introduction of the shopping district made for great interactions 8/10

Season 5- while most episodes were focused on one hermits project and the vast majority of the series felt like single player, with exception to some of the convex stuff and other collaborations. season 5 also featured some of the craziest, large scale building projects to date. tangos base, scar, cubs color wonderland, Mumbo Xisuma and everyone’s base easily make season 5 amazing, albeit living up to “hermit” part of hermitcraft. 7/10

Season 6- you know why this is here. The introduction of Grian, the Architechs, Sahara. Really solidifying Hermitcraft where it is today. While I didn’t follow most of the major plot lines at the moment, all that they did for Tag, the Prank War, Star vs G team, Area 77 and the 1.14 area, the mini games, and Demise, truly a great season. 9/10

Season 7- any complaint on season 6 is non existent in season 6. season 6 was too long, well season 7 while being slightly shorter does not overstay its welcome, it relishes in its quick pace, quickly after starting the shopping district we get the headhunt, the diamond pile being strung in, without effort. Hermit challenges being one of the most bizarre and funniest things I’ve ever seen

Interactions? Season 7 has them in spades hearts and diamonds- did I say diamonds? Oh yeah the diamond throne being the centerpiece for the mayor campaign over the shopping district being equal parts hilarious and absolutely the best thing I have ever seen in hermitcraft. The other plots are just as engaging, as Grian builds up his barge, until the mycelium restitance really gets going.

Also bases?? You liked the great bases from season 5? Go check out False castle, Grians mansion, Scars forest and mining base, literally Cub the desert king, spent his entire season for his base to look like a chunk error on a map. I could go on…. The pace, the interactions, it is just perfect 11/10

Season 8- everything great about season 7, but turned up to 11, the jungle bros from season 7, but now they share their base. Boatem being entirely too cursed as the season progresses . While the short season may feel like a cop out, the short duration makes every episode feel more and more hectic, the boat war with Tango, evil X returning, the Octagon rivalry, just amazing. Especially moon big. What a concept the only possibly bad thing was it being a short season 9/10

Season 9- I have watched very little of season 9, yay being in another country for two years ….. but solid hijinks 8/10

Hermit Craft Rising AU Masterpost

Introduction & Links

Hermit Craft Rising (formerly Hermit Gear Rising: Revengeance) is a totally unauthorized and completely ridiculous but-for-fun scenario that projects the plot of the 2013 Konami video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance onto the Hermitcraft SMP series. In the process, the story of MGR:R is reimagined anew in the context of Hermitcraft and related series.

Mind if I cut in?

General

Plot Synopsis

Character Bios & Art (more coming soon)

HC OCTAGON (The Octagon)

"Scarlet" Pearl Maynard (PearlescentMoon)

MP Taylor "Gemstrong" Gemma (GeminiTay)

Solomon "Impulse" Vanderbilt (ImpulseSV)

RD-82g, the "Cyberdog" (Rendog)

Tango "Hurricane" Travis (Tango Tek)

Grant "Glen" Collins (Grian)

Disclaimers

What this project is not

This project is not:

A means to imply the Hermits are how they are depicted here in-game, in real life, or otherwise at all.

Meant to offend or infringe on anyone’s rights.

Something to be taken seriously.

Trying to be a social commentary. That’s the source material’s job (the Konami game, not the SMP… although one might argue otherwise.)

Ruin, attack, or otherwise deface the legacy/reputation of either source material.

A rigid story narrative. There is a detailed story outline, but nothing is set in stone, and creative liberties can be taken.

Always following the narrative of MGR:R with 1:1 complete substitution: Due to the rather heavy nature of the original plotline, the intent is to create something that heavily resembles it but with some deviation to make it PG-13/T for Teen instead of M.

Meant to be thought about too hard. There will be plot holes.

What this project is

On the other hand, this project is:

For fun

A challenge to bring together two highly incongruous subjects and mash them up into something unique.

An overly complicated shitpost

Fake logo designs of various districts/companies in Hermitcraft S8! Something about Hermitcraft brings out the graphic designer in me (*cough* it’s because I love worldbuilding and making tiny details in a world) anyway!

Design notes under cut! (Alongside some headcanons - it is quite long)

Horse Head Farms: this is the logo that started this idea basically. I got such a cool image of an eclipse with a repeated b+w horse head pattern and I really wanted to make it happen. M.C. Esher has done designs like these but as tiles, which I used as inspiration. I think I could have made it look a bit clearer but for my first time drawing something like this I’m pretty happy. The text is from one of the default Procreate fonts and kinda makes HHF look like a law firm (which is the vibe I was going for, soul-stealers and lawyers are often sorta linked in fiction, and supposedly xB and Hypno are their own legal team). xB and Hypno are the only employees other than the people they blackmail into doing stuff for them.

Big Eyes: I wanted a red eyeball as a reference to Tango’s amazing prank on Boatem and I imagine it’s a goofy little mascot for the company. Some big goofy text felt fitting alongside this. I wanted to make a Pass n Gas specific logo too but I wanted to focus on the main “districts” rather than specific shops. I feel like this is kind of obvious but in-universe Big Eyes are VERY unsuccessful and actively losing money.

Hohenzollern Castle: not really a company but Joe and Cleo are cool so I wanted to include them and I had a tiny bit of blank space left on the page so here we are. I actually really love how the sign looks, the wood texture came out nice. They don’t have a logo as much as they do a sign outside their area, created by Joe, with the text written by Joe’s dyes. The “Hohenzollern” is kinda squished because he began to run out of room but was too stubborn to split the word in half. Cleo argues that it isn’t a logo and is just a sign with the castle’s name on it. Joe argues back with a deconstruction of “what is a logo, really?” and something about companies and capitalism and Cleo doesn’t care enough to respond.

Octagon: I am a fool who initially thought it was spelt “Octogon” and had to fix it well after I finished. Oh well. I wanted this to have a very evil look about it. You can instantly tell they’re the evil tech company running experiments on the quantum realm or whatever in a Hollywood movie. Between the unsafe work conditions and the tax fraud, it is a miracle they haven’t been shut down (reason: the government is scared of Doc)

The Evil Empire: the “the” wouldn’t fit so I had to make some sacrifices. Evil Xisuma is dramatic and edgy so he wanted the logo to be in fancy black calligraphic medieval looking text. It fits the evil castle aesthetic the whole area has pretty well too. The Evil Empire is kinda like a Hot Topic store and a Renaissance Fair combined, but it is also involved with Crypto. Despite being so weird it has a perfect niche of marketing to edgy teenagers so it is quite successful. The employees hate it there because their work mandated uniform is to “dress like an evil minion”. Jevin is a slime monster, Wels cosplays a knight and Beef turned into an alien so they thankfully didn’t have to change.

Boatem (BTM): heavily inspired by Grian’s simplified logo he made in Minecraft, where he shortened it to BTM. Despite already having a reference to work off, this was the hardest design. I knew I wanted it to be simple, all-white and leaning back dramatically but I spent ages fiddling with it. Boatem is the most successful company, being perfect for the general public and their shopping district a tourist destination in of itself. It nearly went into bankruptcy when Mumbo was CEO but has been very successful since his Robot took over.

Zedaph Laboratories: my favourite design. Hand writing the text was a nightmare but it came together nicely other than that. Sheep symbol because sheep are his brand. I used the same colour palette as his laboratory. “Laboratory” is misspelled for two reasons: 1) I realised my mistake too late to change it, 2) I think it is completely in character for Zedaph to not know how to spell laboratory and only realise after Tango points it out and be forever haunted by his mistake. Don’t let the sleek corporate design fool you, Zedaph is still wild and is the only person in the “Zedaph Labratories”.

does every hermit on tumblr know that

season 8 is not a bad season. where did you all get the notion that season 8 was a bad season. i was obsessed with season 8. i had a notebook that i mapped out every hermit's location and who they lived around and i strategized the best order to watch them so i wouldn't miss a single thing. i left family events to go watch hermitcraft recap. season 8 was a masterpiece of storytelling and building and i miss it so much. the boatem hole, zedaph's lab, false's eagle, joe and cleo's castle, the big eye crew, potato boy, the octagon, no wings vs yes wings, tegg, big moon, it was such a good season i miss it

and also that i love them :)
