mechverse?? do you have mech pilot ocs? may i hear about them?

yes! mechverse / comatose machine is a verse centered around mech pilots set on another planet. the planet is incredibly large, far larger than our own, and one of its most prominent life forms are known to the humans as Omicron, fantastically large aliens that are very, very hostile to humans. the humans occupy a very small portion of land on the planet, leaving the rest to the Omicron and the natural fauna and flora of the planet, because Omicron seek out and attack human settlements - making it dangerous for humans to strike out and live in undefended areas. in order to counter the threat of them, huge mechs piloted by teenagers, connected by a fluid known as lambranide, fight the Omicron.

currently we have 3(4) main characters:

willow/will: he's a young prodigy, talented at managing the software and ground control parts of fighting. he loves fashion and video games and mechs, and finds it very difficult to talk to people or make friends with them. he's essentially on his own and has been for years: he was abused by the previous director of the base he works on, and this has made him suspicious of adults. although he cares about the pilots, he feels too alienated from them to fully exercise this care, and is often the target of bullying from them. and he's very much in love with leo. he's obsessive with the handful of interests he has (kawaii things, fashion, video games, mechs, and leo) and will go to great lengths for them, but he can be bitter, jealous, and spiteful when provoked.

asphalios/leo: he's the oldest pilot on base, at the decrepit age of 18. his older brother was also a pilot, and he resented him for many reasons, until he died piloting and his father immediately drafted leo into the pilot program. he was also abused by the same director who abused will; it's how they first got to know each other. despite the fact that they killed him together, though, he has little love lost for will. leo is not a great offensive pilot, but he's an excellent tank/defender/support, diverting aggro for the other pilots he's working with so that they can score kills. as such, his kill score is very low, but he's one of the most valuable pilots on the base. being older than most, the other pilots also look up to him outside the field for the attention and care they can't receive from their families anymore. however, long-term piloting has taken a toll on leo's body, and he's chronically sick & in pain. despite this, he forces himself to maintain a calm, supportive outlook at odds with the constant crisis he's having on the inside.

alexander/alex & xan: alex is a prodigal young pilot with so many issues. he's obsessed with his kill count, with battle, and with fame, and finds it impossible to connect with anyone, even the other pilots. he's reckless and a little bit stupid, putting himself in risky situations that can have terrible outcomes for him without regard for the consequences, and in some cases because the consequences are liable to be catastrophic. he thinks piloting is amazing and easy and the best thing ever, but he's desperately afraid of people finding out that he doesn't remember a fucking thing about his own missions, because;

his alter, xan, is the one actually piloting. xan hates it, though, and finds it agonizing to kill the omicron. he does it because he doesn't have a choice and he knows it, and because when he's on the field, the path to success presents itself clearly to xan, but he hates it to the core. xan is incredible at connecting with his mech, because he's unafraid of - or eager, in fact, for the depthless surrender that syncing demands. xan is ruined by the fact that he can't do anything but pilot and he hates that thing. he's more socially perceptive than alex but keeps the majority of his observations to himself, and doesn't front unless he has to. not even alex is aware of xan's existence. xan yearns for invisibility and oblivion, freedom from pain and desire and death, but he continues to exist despite his best efforts.

mechverse / CM is a WIP, which means these characters are less than a month old and will probably change a lot over time. these aren't even all the characters we're going to have, though we don't yet know what the future holds :3

as always, these ocs are made in collaboration with my dear friend @checkers-dance

Back to mechverse one of the main characters name is victoria leonne, shes been a long time mech pilot and is considered a legend among other pilots for her exceptional skills on the field and keeping a cool head during high stakes missions. At the same time her legend status is pretty infamous for having a cold and aloof attitude towards fellow pilots and teammates, only hanging out with her mech and the whole baggage of a goverment that has declared her as dead in every official document after mission gone wrong where she was the only survivor.

You absolutely should. Mechs and edlritch horror or even sci-fi tech and eldritch horror aren't talked about nearly enough.

My siblings and I have an ongoing world building thing about a group of mech companies (in the military sense, not the economic sense) all named after flowers. The "company" I'm responsible for is just one guy who may or may not even be alive. His company is called Corpseflower and the logo is often spray-painted over the logo of another company.

He specializes in programming and salvage, salvaging destroyed mechs from other companies and programming them with basic AIs for general operations, and enabling him to remotely control them when more dexterity is required.

While most other companies consider salvaging destroyed mechs to be distasteful and offensive the the pilot who died in it, he follows a religion or set of beliefs that sort of says "every atom that makes up your being isn't yours, it's just your time to use them". The pilots and mechs have had their turn with their atoms. However, that doesn't mean it's okay as a finite being to erase the traces of what had been. That's time and the universe's job.

That explains why he doesn't sandblast and repaint the logo, as well as why he doesn't just break down and completely rebuild mechs either. That would do too much to erase what once was.

i should talk about my eldritch horror mech pilot ocs sometime... one of them is literally rotting alive lol

mile, qué decís de una chica mecha mezclada con carne? onda eva

Que es la chica mas hermosa que haya visto y que la trataria muy bien si fuera mi novia

No pero fuera de joda la combinacion es super interesante, donde termina la carne y donde empieza la maquina? No es el cuerpo de carne y hueso una maquinaria mas? Es una relacion conjunta que en teoria no deberia pasar y algunos lo llamarian un experimento depravado. Por el otro lado, otros argumentarian que es un paso mas adelante pero a que costo? En fin, es antietico y poco moral pero es alto concepto

[brainfondue]

I dont know whats better a mecha thats merely an emotionless intrument or one that gets to have a consciousness/ai/personality?

[brainfondue]

So what ive been thinking as some ideas for the mech girls is that one of them is a still bright eyed pilot who has been quickly climbing ranks and is one of the youngest pilots to get to the mech program and the other one is a more experienced pilot with a strong reputation, treated more as a myth but resigned to just being a tool for war kept under wraps

I really have a nice time with sketching these beings constantly, they're just all in my head and I need to let them out of my silly brain.

I need to focus on lore tbh.💀

[newtsalty]

Haven't posted in a really, really long time (probably due to school😭) but, here's another poster of a oc universe, I'm making. Also I've been doing alright so far, in the terms of a few weeks.

Decided I maybe would post another universe, since I am just starting out on tumblr. The au I was posting, is more of a once in and a few weeks thing if I am interested in it but this universe I'm more consistent with, or plan to be consistent with.

It's called MechVerse, though I feel like I could possibly write about it (I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THAT☝🏽‼) But yeah💀
