#inscryption ideas

[stargazingdruid]

This was a response to @fruit-sy! :) What do you all think of this?

I truly believe that Kaycee started the fire out of a temporary bout of insanity. She's been sleep-deprived, driven to several mental breakdowns and is fully aware that she "knows far too much" in the sense that her employer is going to respond...not so favorably. She's probably been harassed by Kaminski through phone calls.

She hasn't answered the texts or emails from her fellow devs out of sheer paranoia that they want to hurt her. I'm pretty sure even "Amanda" is involved in this, though I haven't thought of how. Kaycee feels backed into a corner with no way out...but she knows they can't have this disc back. Buries it in the woods, the coordinates on a card in a resealed pack (in my headcanon, given to her unsuspecting younger sister), then went to work as normal.

Whether it was Kaminski or another Dev sent by Kaminski to corner Kaycee after work to retrieve the disc (I like the latter with the idea that this dev and kaycee were once very close). She's tired. She's not in her right mind. She knows that this will not end well. How she started the fire, I'm unsure, but I'm convinced she did. Whoever is cornering her, throughly disturbed by her response, flees to not get trapped in the fire.

Kaycee comes into clarity, realizing what she did. Somebody made sure that she couldn't get out of her cubicle, and even if she could, the fire is now too great. She knows she's trapped. She knows this...but she hopes that the disc, that Leshy remains safe, and that nobody EVER sees what's hidden beneath the surface of Inscryption.

(As for the headcanon of Kaycee having a younger sibling- the thought of her having a little sister who she did care about, but still gave her the coordinates to the disc unknowingly was very fun for me to play with, especially with the multi chaptered story I'm working on. The sister never opened the card packs, mainly out of grief and anger for losing her older sibling at the place where she worked and not even wanting to LOOK at the cards, but still hanging onto it as a last memory of Kaycee. Time goes by, she kept the card packs in her bedroom and went off to college, soon moving out of the house. Her mother is cleaning out the rooms for a garage sale, sees the card packs and seeing that it was a painful memory of her eldest daughter, threw them into the garage sale and not even caring what she was paid for them....

And in comes Luke Fucking Carder, Kaycee's sister unknowingly passing her torch of burden to a guy who once won against Kaycee in a game years before.)

I'm still pretty new to chess, can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do if my opponent plays the Eight Fucking Bears opening? I'm really having trouble.

1 am experimenting

[stargazingdruid]

On my headcanon route of Luke Carder being alive, I just really like the idea of him owing his life to some nonbinary redditor and Podcaster who was only out in the daylight because their fans really wanted them to go get some exercise and fresh air.

This introverted goblin gender didn't want to be out there, did it for the fans. Literally watched some girl force her way into a house a block away after *firing a fucking gun* , tried to film it on their phone for evidence (while questioning why NOBODY ELSE WAS OUTSIDE HEARING OR SEEING THIS), saw Luke's nearly dead body and practically had a panic attack calling 911.

The next title of their podcast: I'm NEVER listening to YOU people again. Guest Talker- the GUY I saved from getting SHOT. *Not Clickbait*

i took the switcheroo week as an excuse to finally try my hand at some scrybeswap designs! got a bit carried away as you can see, i love doing character design so much

decided to keep their species/major design elements fairly consistent (e.g. grimora's makeup, mag being vague and indistinct, leshy having nonhuman legs, p03 only having one arm) while still switching up their aesthetics as needed; super happy with all of these as a result!

design notes for each scrybe under the cut! def open to any further questions or curiosities, i always think way too hard about characters while designing them lmao

P03:

scrybe of the dead: i went for a possessed tv vibe; he's still mechanical but those bones do have a living soul trapped in them...also shoutout to @squid-hug for suggesting the x-ray machine, i was very tickled by that lmao

scrybe of beasts: overgrown old bot was kind of a given for this one, but i was also thinking that the plants are part of what's keeping him running somehow

scrybe of magicks: the magic eye is the core powering that top monitor, and the two side monitors display what he's seeing with that eye at any given time

grimora:

scrybe of beasts: she's a witch! like a chill terry pratchett kind of witch, she works with a lot of herbs and such; also her makeup is meant to mimic blood drops

scrybe of magicks: magick grimora is more of a warlock type, her magic is a lot more sinister and she almost never opens her eyes (whereas her third eye is basically always open)

scrybe of tech: tech grimora is kind of a wacky machinist-flavored dr. frankenstein; she inscribes by writing on circuitboards!

leshy:

scrybe of the dead: this leshy is a gargoyle/vampire hybrid! i thought a mirror would be fun for him bc you can get two different cultural refs; medusa (bc stone gargoyle), and the idea that vampires don't appear in mirrors!

scrybe of magicks: i decided to make him a bird guy (kinda harpy-esque) bc he's basically a more whimsical baba yaga hermit; the baba yaga thing carries over from slavic folklore obvs. also he has polycoria!

scrybe of tech: tech leshy was super fun, bc he's steampunk! rather than animal legs i gave him digitigrade robot legs, but other than that he's the most like, normal human guy here probably lmao; despite his well-adjusted appearance though i still think he's got a bit of freaky wonk in him

magnificus:

scrybe of the dead: this one was very ring-inspired lol, got those clump of hair you found in the shower drain vibes

scrybe of beasts: bush magnificus real! i think he'd be a bit more quirky trickster fae in this form

scrybe of tech: one of my favorites; tech mag is an emaciated cyborg draped in so many loose cords and wires that you can't tell what he looks like anymore. a lot of those cords are connected to him, and he plugs them in wherever as needed! he also has a drawing stylus, making him just an average art student tbh lmao

I completed Inscryption and my favourite part of the game was watching P03 plug its cable into things for card modification.
