#odil lore

[mafiaamongstus]

Character Information: Odil

Name: Odil

Rank: Officer

Designation: Silver

Gender: Female (She/Her)

Affiliation: T̸h̶e̴ ̵G̴o̷v̶e̸r̷n̸m̵e̷n̸t̵ The Fungle

Cause of Death: Burnt Alive

Personality:

Odil is very kind. Even as she joined the military alongside her brother, Odil always prioritized doing what was right. Despite her rather…menacing appearance, she is something of a cinnamon roll. She enjoys helping others, and she’s definitely the softer of the pair. 

Story:

Odil was born a few minutes after her brother Jitil, and the two were thick as thieves from the start. Sadly, the two were also placed into the foster system at a young age due to their parents' arrests. They had to fight to stay together, though it got easier when they would cause problems whenever attempts to separate them were made.

Thankfully, neither of them ended up on the streets, however they did eventually age out of the system. Odil, the caretaker of the two, suggested that they join the military, since finding a job with their scattered record would be…difficult to say the least. 

They enlisted together, begging to be kept at each others sides, and whether it was because the recruiting officer had a soft spot for kids or because the two had literally nobody else, they were assigned to the same base camp on Earth. 

As they finished their first enlistment period, they decided to attend Officer Training Camp, and they spent some time there. When the war against the Imposters broke out, the siblings, with nothing tying them to the planet, shipped out to space to fight against the aliens.

The siblings hopped from ship to ship, heading exploration missions to try and locate the Imposters home planet. However, they were eventually reassigned to Polus after their failures to find a planet of Imposters. They served under Commander Olo, and grew close to the man who acted as a father figure to them. 

Odil spent most of her time on base in the laboratory, studying the movement of planets and inspecting the samples other soldiers would bring her. She also served as Rouvan’s aid whenever he needed help with the medical equipment.

After the war ended, and the soldiers were recalled to Earth, Odil and Jitil were split up for the first time in their military career. Odil was assigned undercover to the Toppat missions, where she ended up being assigned to the Submarine Art-ica. The mission was…simultaneously stressful and monotonous. The days blurred together, even as people were quite literally being sacrificed to the ocean and murdered during the night. 

Thankfully, Odil was able to get her intel and deliver it, being taken off the mission and awarded a “vacation” with her brother and Olo. Said vacation may or may not have been escorting a prisoner on a cruise liner in order to keep anyone from knowing that said prisoner was onboard but c’est la vie.

However, the cruise liner was attacked by a long-range Toppat missile, and the Odil found herself on a tropical island along with her brother, Olo, the prisoner, and a handful of civilians. Let us not forget that said island was also inhabited by a parasitic mushroom that was spreading across literally everything that moved (and even the stuff that didn’t).

Thanks to her military-grade equipment, Odil managed to delay the Fungle from infecting her for quite a while, however, after the Commander was infected and Odil knew his body would need to be killed to prevent the mushroom from using it. As she and Jitil killed the Commander’s body, the Fungle was finally able to spread to her and her brother using their contact. And when they realized just how much of their mind was still intact, despite the calm and peace radiating through them from the Fungle Hivemind, well…they didn’t get much sleep that night, instead washing his body respectfully so that he could go home in dignity.

However, their plans to bring the commander home were foiled by a rather fire-happy individual who set them on fire, using the mushroom spores to accelerate and fuel their flames.

Hii can I get some uhhhh toxic yaoi? However the chef wishes to prepare it

Day 100: Princess and Knight AU

Or Day 81, but my brain took the prompt and ran with it.

Lore. or something:

In a world where the Island is all good and well, has a monarchy ruling over it and Siffrin is the heir to the throne. Cracking under the pressure of their position, Siffrin wants to escape, but is unable to leave his position empty, so in desperation he makes a wish for a "perfect replacement", except who could be a perfect replacement if not, well, themself! Loop is made, in that moment a being that has all of their knowledge and experiences but isn't "them" (point of view) seems perfect, they will do great! And Siffrin leaves, only to later realize that, hey, that's like them, literally them, they abandoned themself to a life that both of them hate.

Fast forward a couple of years, the Island is in political turmoil, the heir to the throne, Loop, is kidnapped by King, a member of an offshoot branch of the royal family that demands for a transfer of power. His base is in Vaugarde and outside of the Island's legislation, unable to send official forces, the royal family instead issues a notice "the one who saves the heir will get their hand in marriage", but as it goes with the Island it's not just a motivation for some hero, it's a wish, one made to keep the heir alive for that to happen.

Enter Siffrin, who became a wandering knight after his escape, currently travelling with the party (assembled for different reasons than canon). He catches word of what is happening with the island right now and well, he never stopped regretting what he did, but at some point all the marks left by the life outside the castle became too much to be able to seamlessly return to the life before. But isn't marrying someone you don't know, with no way to refuse just the worst? It's high time they stopped running running away from their responsibilities. So he dons his armour, leaves camp in secret under the cover of the night and goes to rescue.

When they see him, Loop is livid. Siffrin left them all this time to deal with his shit just to return now?? They reconvene with the party and it's time for the road to the Island, very tense and heartbreaking conversations, living up to responsibility, healing and severely confused onlookers.

Extraterrestrial Satellite Communication | Loop

"Oh? So you don't follow the script, and say your lines exactly the same way every time, to make sure your party doesn't think you're acting weird?"

Or a small thought of a hsr and isat crossover lead to me trying to imitate the style of character announcements!

From my notes Loop starts as a 4*, one that'll always be there to help if needed, almost Asta-like, but has an optional Two Hats related 5* that's actually changes the path to Hunt similar to Siffrin's base path

In case of Siffrin he's like Trailblazer in that regard changing path at least once Story-related reasons

Like becoming Lightning Nihility at Act 4-5!

I honestly just had fun sorting and imagining everyone in that setting

Just im case non-hsr players wonder

But in Loop's case they follow Elation actually, but that's not a playable path, so it's a Sparkle situation basically

Or at least that's what I thought of when thinking this up shruggs

Apparently my OC x canon ship pisses people off so I’m going to post them more :)

They are t4t !!

[that-guest-named-pie]

does monarch odile ever think back to before? when she thinks of what could have been, what is it she sees?

Sometimes when she closes her eyes she sees herself sitting on a picnic blanket under the stars. There is a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. There are others around her, a small one is loudly announcing all the dishes they made. She is happy

Sometimes she sees herself watching a group hug from afar. She smiles fondly, sometimes reaching over to ruffle the one in the middle’s darkless hair with her hand, to remind him he’s not alone. She is happy.

Sometimes she sees herself lovingly teasing the rock of their group, because even months later he still gets so giddy to hold his crushes hand. She is happy.

Sometimes she sees herself adamantly talking about horror books with the timid one, while the other three look on in confusion.

She is happy.

Then the dream ends.

In this world, she has no choice but to be the monster.

Weresif?!? Incredible though I am curious as to how fast did the craft take hold? Was it a slow and steady sorta deal and eventually Siffrin left the camp/tent randomly and was found later by bonnie? What triggered Siffrins full shift was it his fear of being abandoned, or a near death experience of himself or his family? I am very curious.

CRACKS KNUCKLES SO FUCKING LOUDLY.

Okay so lot of loredump and rambling incoming you have opened Pandora's box~

So!! The Craft took hold over the course of a few weeks after Siffrin was injured in a fight against a very strange very agressive very large animal, later discovered to be a high-ranking member of the Beastblessed Cult tasked with gathering more members.

Starts out with him just feeling... a tad off. Restless at night, hungrier than usual (which is already super hungry seriously how does a tiny thang like that eat so much) and just all around Weird Abnormal Feeling you Can't Quite Place until one night it just....

...happens.

Mirabelle is actually the one who noticed Siffrin was missing from camp first, being a light sleeper their abrupt exit started her awake, but she wasn't quite fast enough on the draw to see where they headed. So, impromptu midnight search party! Which Bonnie insisted on joining, and...

...well, they TECHNICALLY did find him.

Just not how they expected him to be.

Bonnie runs back in a panic, Siffrin chasing them, and after a brief standoff Odile (being the braincell of the group) realizes that white hair + black tips + one eye + specific shape of scar = siffrin and stops Mirabelle and Isabeau from royally beating this thing into dust for hurting their friend. And that's the story of the first half-shift~

As for the full shift, that doesn't happen until a while later.

During a discussion on how to best track down the Beastblessed, tensions boil over and result in Odile and Isabeau throwing hands out of misplaced frustration. While Mirabelle takes Bonnie aside so the Old Lady and The Fighter can vent their frustrations by fighting eadhother, Siffrin has a little [very large] panic attack because "wuh oh your family is fighting and it's because of you!!!! its your fault Siffrin!!!!! your family is hurting eachother because of you!!!!!" and ends up fleeing for the inevitable stress-induced half-shift... which progresses into a full-shift because of the intense emotion and now theres a whole other problem aside from Dile and Isa beating eachother up.

It ends up alright but in the moment? shits fucked!

and yeah that's part of the weresiff lore can you tell im deranged

"she'd do anything to save her family. even this."

thinking about how most people in the In Stars and Time fandom probably experienced a voiced playthrough of the game through JelloApocalypse, but I wanna highlight the way I did, via DesigningFor!

It's a far smaller channel but I've been following them since before the streams, and by sheer coincidence, the main member Pyrrhickong is also a stage actor(+teacher) that uses he/they and has such a good voiceover feel that I STILL hear most fan content in their voice

(even though they have to voice everyone unlike Jello's stream, but it works for a lot of them!!)

Seeing how people "enter" a fandom is fun no matter which one I'm in and i thought I'd highlight this one. Pyrr's Siffrin narration is also incredible but don't just take my word for it, have his Act 4 bathroom monologue:

[siffrin-brainrot]

Follow up to Dragon Isabeau & Siffrin! Like promised here's the rest of the squad (I might draw Loop too later. Loop got Dragon-fied a lot,let the others have fun too)

Also special thanks to everyone who gabe me.ideas for their designs, you guys rock!

Odile is a fiery red chocobo Gabriel had found in the outskirts of Coerthas, battered and weary, but fierce as a flame. He had gathered she must have lost her way and ventured there from the Shroud, vastly underestimating he true length of the journey she had taken and the turmoil she survived. He had never worked with feral beasts before, but could not help but provide her with the care the Holy Stables deemed her beyond.

Far from the prized noble Ishgardian breeds with their luxuriously dense plumage and calm temperament, she was wild, capricious and ready to sink a talon into anyone’s eye if they so much as coughed in her direction.

For several seasons, he treated her exactly as he would a broken individual in his care. He would not step closer, but let her control the distance and close it herself. Neither would he step away until she decided to. He would not reach over to her until she raised a beak to his shoulder. He would sing to her in hushed tones, and eventually even brought out his panpipes. She gave her verdict. He no longer owns panpipes.

Over time, she warmed to his company and eventually came to be a loyal companion, though she’s yet to let him ride her, and he was perfectly content simply to let her walk alongside him on their daily strolls.

Far less familiar with avian health than spoken, he has spent quite a few moons with her at Treespeak Stables for professional care and rehabilitation, and even then she would not let any but the gentlest hands tend to her, in addition to his. It was there that his suspicions were confirmed by chocokeep Vionne that Odile did indeed exhibit behavior not unlike that of war-scarred men and ought not be expected to be a riding chocobo for the remainder of her life, if he valued her well-being as well as his own.

Since then, Gabriel’s work with her was never aimed to tame her in any functional sense, but to attune to her and simply provide the containment for her to grow more sociable and at ease around perceived threats like heavy weaponry, crowds or loud noises. Odile was possibly the one to ignite his desire to provide therapeutic treatment and counseling to all survivors of violence beyond the walls of Ishgard and the Dragonsong War.

One day, Gabriel was watching as little Yuuko played with Odile, now perfectly safe company if supervised. He watched as the bouncy lalafell tugged on her down feathers, attempting to climb up. He leaned forward instinctively and observed, noting that Odile was observing him just as intently. He returned her bid with a gentle nod and watched as she slowly bent her legs and lowered herself for her little friend to climb atop her back, letting out a quiet chirp– almost a playful one. The sight brought more joy and warmth to his heart than the eloquent bard could find words for.

Of course, she just as easily strutted off and let Yuuko fall to the ground and scrape her knees.

Ah... her first battle scars.

Alas, his fiery red ladies demand his constant care and attention. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

YELLS AT YOU TELL ME THE LORE

JESUS CHRIST HI ASTRO /SILLY

OKAY OKAY SO. ive mentioned this in towering paradise ithink so ill do my best to make it concise HJHAJEHJAHJA - Guardians in Equilibrium are unique in a few ways (more resistant to corruption, stronger, some have abilities depending on the island they live on) but an INCREDIBLY important one to note is that all guardians, regardless of location, double as a ‘seed’ of sorts. At any moment, if the Island’s Tree should fail, then it will rely on the healthiest Guardian as a ‘willing’ sacrifice to become the next Tree. Now this has its reasons for existing; corruption in the AU is a constant threat, constantly destroying and invalidating trees across the world. HOWEVER; this has its drawbacks as well. More often than not, this ‘seed’ mechanism will activate on accident due to excessive divine energy. This can be because of Pure Corruption, which I’ve mentioned in TP but not on Tumblr for spoiler reasons, or simply due to an extreme overstress of powers (Although that’s more likely to kill a shape, as opposed to activating the mechanism.) And once it activates, it can be slowed but not stopped :< leading to Guardians often losing their lives, becoming Trees. (This isn’t to be confused with Plants however; who naturally turn into actual plants at the end of their life cycle <3) On the bright side, if you think bout it this means that an island with multiple tree’s is extra safe :3 Anyways; on to Tessie/New Sanctuary specifically :> New Sanctuary is a unique case; for generations its Guardians, a lineage named Musique, have a habit of going insane due to an unknown reason and becoming trees. It’s gotten to the point where those Trees have created their own grove, outside of the capitol. Tessie’s mother, Polaris, unfortunately was one of the previous Guardians who became a Tree :( Tessie, Odile, and Fozel are the latest three Guardians; three cousins tasked with protecting their island, and hopefully solving a generations-long quest: what the actual fuck is killing all the guardians oh, and none of those three know HOW to be a guardian since nobody before them has been able to stick around to teach them. — fun extra thing if anyone’s read this far (/silly) New Sanctuary and its inhabitants is based off the games Super Hexagon and Open Hexagon! Polaris is based on the level Bipolarity Tessie, Odile, and Fozel are based on Courtesy, Otis, and Focus and once i actually GET to playing open hexagon (sighs agressively at its joystick controls being fucked) therell be more worldbuilding to it :3 @hermitcrabcross obligatory hexagon content ping /silly

[sketchz]

aaaa I've always wanted to do one of these!! My blorbos over time my beloved....

I grouped em according to some stuff, labels under cut:

[swansong-if]

Does Odile have a "supernatural" hearing? Can xe hear MC's heartbeat (when they are flustered and so) 💓

It's not something that I had considered in particular mmh, what I have thought about is how fae definitely perceive things that humans can't but that doesn't necessarily translate to supersenses 🤔 and being only half fae I imagine Odile's case is more of a *extremely perceptive/notices people's reactions* situation! So in my head, it's less likely xe'd hear mc's heartbeat and more likely that xe'd figure out mc's tells and clock in on signs of them being flustered.

that said, i don't plan on outright ruling it out in text so you're free to headcanon supernatural hearing/senses! 💖

Things about early drafts of Fakir I’m haunted by:

was referred to for an unknown period of production as “the black prince” (to Mytho’s “white prince“), including during the development of the 2001 trailer. (source) (source) (source)

machine translation of the last source: “Since the character of Fakir was still in the process of being set up, the "black prince" image that director Kawamoto had in mind at the time can be glimpsed in the [promo]. The deep V-neck was also in line with the concept.”

is presented as not just a (less tsundere and more, uh, aggressive) romantic option for Duck, but implied to be a romantic rival on the same level as Rue and Duck for Mytho’s affections in the 2001 trailer

production sketch of Fakir dancing with Rue, as Kraehe, when they have never once been on good terms in the actual final show: (source)
