#lobcorp der freischutz

[maskerat]

[astranauticus]

ive had this thought trapped in my brain for like a week by now i just cannot fucking think of a way to word it properly but like is it just me or does yi sang's fell bullet ego have really strong selfcest implications if you like. think about it

[yisangyi]

i wanna post my lobcorp nuggets guys look hehe

[multitrackdrifting]

love how lobcorp der freischutz is like oh the devil is gonna make me kill one of my loved ones? ok lol kills them all first

der freischutz: are you here for my soul? the devil: nah youre cooked motherfucker, what? der freischutz: alright, peace

[reveriesmetamorphosis]

id still fuck der freischutz. the lobcorp abnormality

[warriorfujoshi]

Similar question to the last nugget one but how would ya recommend picking your nuggets ‘canon’ outfit n gifts if you do multiple runs? I’m only on my first run rn and I’m p attached to their current gifts n ego but idk how that’ll change w a new set of abnormalities

there’s no rules that say you can’t have nuggets wear multiple sets of outfits and gifts~ (courtney hogs three ego suits on their own…) so just play around and have fun! lobotomy corporation is the world’s most stressful but cutest dress up game to me 😤✨

what normally happened is we picked based on what looks best or gameplay needs and we got so used to seeing it on them… then when I want to deepen their character I use symbolism from what abnormalities I associate with them (which can come from what abnos they work with but also what ego they wear) (or for ego gifts it can just retroactively become a part of their body that was always there like stubble, or a design aspect with no symbolic meaning)

ah.. but for the extremely special case of robertus, we decided to make the big bird suit and ego gift their canon outfit after their dramatic character defining moment bc it fit them symbolically … ah…

advice for picking appearance wise: you can literally go to picrew, search “lobotomy” in english, and a whole bunch of em will pop up~ have fun~! however, there’s a lot of fun in randomness, so you can choose to do this after you’ve mostly decided your nugget’s personality and just want to try out new looks heeheehawhaw

you can also think of it like pokemon evolution lol (?!) like this is my nugget’s HE form and this is their ALEPH form~ because you’ll naturally get better stuff as you progress~ e.g., Sergey started out with Wellcheers → Der Freischutz (what they wore most of the time) → Mountain of Smiling Bodies

don’t be too worried about setting things in stone immediately! lobcorp is quite a long game, so take your time, notice if you think anything looks particularly good on your nuggets or if its symbolism resonates, and follow your heart~

[vexarii]

i havent been playing much lobcorp recently and still havent done tipereth suppression but every time i try i play for like 10 minutes and then all my employees instantly die to something random and then i sit there and go "tch. mannnnn." and lose all motivation and alt f4 for example literally 30 seconds ago 3 of my best employees died to a completely random shot from Der Freischutz even though LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENED THAT COULD'VE POSSIBLY LOWERED HIS QUIPHOTH COUNTER COME ONNN I DIDNT EVEN WORK WITH HIM

guys how do you do tipereth suppression i am going to cry my best employee wearing Nothing Here's full ego gear died to literally nothing and i just seem to lose to random chance

Can you do headcanon of Der freischütz being partner with the employee he really trust with, like being best friend?

Mist man! Unless that wispy appearance is more solid or fire-like? Either way, here you go with some hcs. Hope you enjoy, and thank you for your request!

Der Freischütz with an Employee Partner/Best Friend:

In Der Freischütz’s flavor text it does say that he doesn’t remember anything positive, but I’m going to say that doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t experience it. I think it’s more that he no longer knows the word and classifications for what he defines as positive, rather than incapability to feel it.

It’s a rare thing, few and far between, but he knows it’s not negative, he knows it’s not a bad feeling. It’s like fondness, but he doesn’t know that it’s called that, so instead it’s just sort of this vague ‘not negative’ feeling.

He may not feel as strong of emotions as before, but it’s not as though they’re all gone. I just think that they’re very stifled, and mellowed out. A big part of this contributes to his patient and calm personality.

He’s not one to underestimate or irritate, but it will take a lot to actually get him annoyed. Not that I recommend trying. It’s equally disrespectful and dangerous to attempt something like that.

I believe that he’d grow some form of ‘attachment’ to employees who frequently visit him and respect his boundaries. I put attachment in quotes, because he doesn’t really know it’s that, it just feels like he’s more inclined to listen to them and learn more about them.

He’s actually a bit stubborn. Unlike some of the other silent abnormalities, he just straight up ignores people sometimes. If he doesn’t know them enough yet, or it’s just a topic he couldn’t be bothered to care about he will just sort of check out.

It’s not like anyone’s gonna be able to tell the difference anyways. He always remains in the same still, quiet, observing pose unless he’s using his gun. Though you might get an idea on how he feels about you depending on if you get a good or bad result.

I think he’d also be particularly interested in someone who had also been the reason for why they had lost certain loved ones. It doesn’t necessarily mean the loved ones had to have died, but perhaps they got angry and left because of your own fault.

While not the same, I think he could relate and connect a bit between how his own selfishness has led to the situation he’s in at the moment. I think he’d also find it a bit interesting that you’re so openly discussing this. Many people hide behind their mistakes, not bring them up as a talking point.

Honestly even if it isn’t something to do with losing someone you cared about, just bringing up a mistake in general that you made and being upfront about how it was your fault and how you intend to improve may interest him.

You’ll know you’re doing something right when he gives you his E.G.O gift. Shortly after, management assigns you to the appropriate gear and weapon, and you’re able to come into the containment room and share your matching outfit in all its glory!

Even if he isn’t the most responsive you don’t take it as an insult, you weren’t expecting some giant reaction.

I think that he may hand out his hand and motion towards your weapon at some point. It sort of comes out of nowhere and you need to take a minute to realize he’s pointing at your gun, but when you do you hand it over.

He lifts it up to inspect it, seeming to compare it to his own weapon in both size and similarity to design. He’s careful with it, and it’s honestly quite similar to his own besides a part or two and some alterations in color choice. That, and the fact it is much shorter.

Before he hands you your weapon back I think he’d actually let you take hold of his own. Compared to you it’s extremely long, and you couldn’t really see yourself actually using it functionally on the battlefield, but it’s an honor that he’d let you hold onto it in the first place.

I think this would be one of the biggest indicators of trust he has for you. That weapon is extremely powerful to take hold of, and his prized possession, so if he’s letting you see it then he definitely has some form of favor towards you.

While he eventually swaps the weapons back, taking his own and giving you yours, I don’t think that would be the end of the surprising and almost uncharacteristic actions he has to offer.

Lobotomy Corporation surely offers some form of training before an agent is given an E.G.O weapon of varying types. It would be reckless to send someone out who doesn’t even know the potential and danger they have within their hands after all. But I still think Der Freischütz would offer his own form of ‘training’.

By this I mean that he would help you with your position and method of holding the weapon. He’d do this by holding you in place and helping raise the rifle and your limbs to the correct areas they go.

And it actually helps out! Even if you weren’t bad beforehand, taking advice from the abnormality that the E.G.O was actually sourced from helps quite a lot. It may be a bit of a gradual process, but it pays off.

I think it’s obvious to everyone at this point except himself that you’re the favorite. I mean between the offers to help that haven’t been observed with anyone else, and you in general just getting a better reaction from him than anyone else, it’s clear where his preference lies.

If ever you’re in danger from a breached abnormality and nearing a critical state, you notice that there just coincidentally happens to be a blue portal that opens up and a bullet that shoots through your enemy.

Much to the manager’s dismay his cliphoth counter seems to conveniently lower whenever you could use some help. From this, there just happens to be a luckily positioned bullet that passes through and hits whatever is harassing you at the moment.

This wouldn’t be such a bad thing if he didn’t have a general disregard for the other employees. While you are spared, he has killed clerks and agents in the process as the magic bullet passes through the hallways.

I’m assuming that because he has the ability to summon a portal exactly where you request in the game that he has some form of omnipotent overview of the facility. Enough to know vaguely what’s going on at least.

You’ll thank him for the help, but also probably bring up how he should try not to hit the other workers. He does not take note of this and continues doing it anyway.

Besides this though you’ve noticed you can actually ask him manually to help too. Maybe it’s not you in danger, but a friend of yours. He’s willing to comply as long as you give him the details with really no cost at all. There’s no energy consumed from it, it’s just something of his own volition.

I don’t know to what extent the portal-like magic he has functions, if he can use it as a means of transport himself, or if it’s something that purely serves useful for his rifle. That said, I believe Der Freischütz would be willing to show you any other ways he used it if you asked nicely.

Even if it’s not something that can be utilized or useful to you, it’s still a mythical sight with the electric blue color it lights up.

Can you write general headcanons for Der Freischütz? Would love to see your take on him~

You mean the devilishly attractive marksman that nearly everyone is head-over-heels for? I'm glad you asked.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

⸸ F-01-69 (Der Freischütz) -- Base Headcanons ⸸

(He's hot. He's powerful. He also has a long stick that will shoot you down, and not in the good way.)

"Just as the Devil said, the bullets will puncture anything he pleased...forever."

Everyone knows the Sharpshooter, but I wonder just how many know of his legend beyond the data entries?

Not that there is anything you need to know beyond the fact that he made a deal with the devil in exchange for absurdly accurate bullets, but depending on which variation you heard, there are many ways to interpret his character. Isn't that the fun about folklore?

But of course, since this character is Project Moon's retelling of the character, I would still stick with what they have written.

That is, a man who killed everyone he loved.

"The last bullet would puncture the head of his beloved. The moment he heard that, he sought and shot all the people he loved. Then he told the Devil, 'This magical bullet can truly hit anyone just like you say.'"

⸸ Because of the quote above, I interpret him as being...afraid of attachments. It would certainly explain why his Attachment work has been replaced with Request.

⸸ Perhaps that isn't the case now that he is a Devil, but certainly when he was a human, and his incapacity to bond is just a bonus to his supernaturally accurate rifle.

⸸ Another theory I have is that the Marksman had always been incapable of it, even before the contract. A psychopath, essentially.

⸸ All we know from his entries was that he killed all of his loved ones, but even then, it is up to debate if he truly ever loved them, if he had a differing definition of 'love' is, or if he was hesitant to kill them.

⸸ That, and we can surmise from his flavour text that his seventh is the one currently still lodged in his heart.

⸸ And now that he is a Devil, there is really nothing stopping him from doing whatever. At least when he was a human, he would have been inhibited by human laws. Not anymore.

⸸ F-01-69 (hahahahaha funny internet number. I'm an adult, I swear) came to Lobotomy Corporation because he was bored...or feeling lazy. Why do I think so? Because I really doubt the facility captured him.

As one could see from his ability, he could shoot from anywhere in the facility through a portal that he can summon at will. For all we know, he could just walk right out of that place.

⸸ I don't think he is completely devoid of emotion. He can still feel them, but it is very weak and fleeting. At most, he would feel irritation, contentment, disappointment, and contempt...but never the strong ones that most of us value--and loathe. Happiness, love, hatred, grief, and hopelessness are all alien to him.

⸸ I like to imagine him having a sort of professional rivalry with Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary. Both are mercenaries with a lust for blood and violence, but are polar opposites in everything way.

⸸ Both are masters in their art, the difference is their style. ⸸ Little Red is reckless and explosive, and her attacks are always a barrage of different weapons. One moment, she is using her sickle swords. The next, she is shooting large holes on the walls with her dual shotguns. ⸸ Der Freischütz is controlled, and only ever uses his rifle. Because of it, he never misses his target. He isn't responsible for any of the casualties, that is their fault for being in the way.

⸸ Rivalry doesn't mean he dislikes her, though. Yes, he finds her methods ineffective (because surely, there are better ways than shooting bullets allover the place like a blitzkrieg). But out of everyone else here in the facility, she is the most competent, and similar to him.

⸸ If he ever finds an Agent similar in mindset to him, consider that person his new friend rival, because honestly, there aren't a lot of people who can keep him entertained for long, and likewise, there aren't that many he's willing to spend his time with.

every time i see a like. "you're now the person in your icon" post its immensely funny bc the character in my icon is my lobotomy corporation oc phylum, has been for a while, and like. he's got such a fucking life

he's adopted 3 birds as his "children" because he loves birds and animals, even though they do not know the concept of family or understand english ( probably ) and would kill him without remorse. he knows this and just acts like he doesn't . he also gives them live human sacrifices if they want it and kills people without any hint of remorse or care for them

he's dating a guy who sold his soul to satan for a gun, and satan told him the last bullet would kill someone he loved, and with this info he then killed ALL OF HIS LOVED ONES and went "huh. cool" . phylum knows this yet still dates him. hope thats working out for you ( it surprisingly is and der freis hasnt shot him in the head point blank yet )

also he works at lobotomy corporation in general as the info team captain, but regardless. lobotomy corporation is a deathtrap and employees are essentially fodder and meatshields for higherups. somehow, he hasnt died yet.

i dont know if this would be the funniest life to live or the most objectively terrifying. probably both. if i were phylum i would be dead, tldr.

[uniquezombiedestiny]

i don’t know a thing about lobcorp but you could draw ur favourite abnormality?

drew our little red riding hooded mercenary + der freischutz fictives! theyd also double as my favorite abnos bc of their requests its sooooooo fucking useful. thanks me >:D -little red

[buzzsawbrando]

love your lobcorp ego hc. 🔫 give me more lobcorp hcs

yess YESSS

allow me to go unhinged for a moment, i'll list just a buncha HC's in no specific order or organization

-Netzach states something about all of the Employees at Lobcorp being on Enkaphalin to some degree, which tends to allow so many to be desensitized to the Abnormalities and such. I headcanon that Enkaphalin, at least for humans, effects them in a multitude of different ways which can also change depending on how much someone can even take. For some Employees it might make them generally stronger physically, desensitize them to sights like corpses or more terrifying Abnormalities, or perform tasks better (almost putting them on a sort of 'autopilot'). A common trait that comes from taking Enkaphalin for all Employees I feel would be the fact that it can suppress pain (which is a real thing that the actual Opiod its based on does).

-Personally, I believe all Abnormalities have a sense of sentience to some degree due to Abnormalities originating from humans at their core. Even the objects to some extent. I feel like many of the Fairytale oriented Abnormalities especially believe they're the only 'original' selves if that makes sense, due to the fact so many Fairytales over the years have so many interpretations.

-Speaking of Fairytale abnormalities, I really love the fact that in Wonderlab it's confirmed all Abnormalities have 'variants' to themselves, meaning there's multiple versions. Especially since in Wonderlab, we do see a Little Red variant! Because of that I also headcanon the reason Abnormalities have variants in the first place is due to the fact humans tend to make so many interpretations of things, such as Religion and Fairytales. Also because of that, I feel like Little Red and the variant in Wonderlab totally had some kind of scuffle in the past LOL

-Kind of expanding on my idea of the 'personalized EGO' relating to those who wear it, I feel like for most employees the EGO looks the way it does either due to internal stuff relating to the specific employee (symbolism or general 'how cool can this look' factor) and/or their own 'connection'/how much an Employee worked with an Abnormality (or Abnormalities). An example being that one of my Employees' designs has a mix of Nothing There/Der Freischutz EGO. The same can apply to EGO weapons too! (Which, one of these days I'll draw out for a few of my Employees).

And to top off my current insane ramblings with some smaller Headcannons mostly relating to the Sephirah and some Abnormalities,

-Binah and Angela are gay married

-I think Yesod is very transgender

-Chesed and Netzach smoke weed together

-Ayin is the only cishet (DEROGATORY) in Lobotomy Corporation ever. Like the kind that would go "of course you have blue hair and pronouns"

-I think Funeral of Dead Butterflies and Der Freichutz are gay too

-also Little Red and Queen of Hatred. I think they're also very gay

-I hc attachment work on Nothing There specifically is interpreted as giving them headpats like a dog and nothing else

I think that's about it, if i think of anything else I'll just reblog this post and add on to it but I think that's all my tired brain can muster atm.

[boatslut]
