More mutabilis demons lore!

Shifters are pure conduits, which means that they can channel/conduct, amplify, and even store magic, but they cannot generate it themselves. This does not mean they do not have magic within them, just that they do not have enough to cast spells on their own

Pretty much all creatures fall somewhere on a spectrum of caster to conduit. Slimes are also pure conduits, succubi, incubi, and pixies would be somewhere in the middle, and creatures like elves would be closer to the pure caster end of the spectrum

(Mentions of sexual biology below cut. Nothing explicit, just an explanation of biological traits)

These demons are one of three sexually fluid races, the other two being succubi and slimes. Of these three they are also one of two that have what is called "true sexual fluidity"

Sexual fluidity is the ability for one to change and alter sex characteristics without the need for outside magic like potions or spells or medical intervention like with transition

Bimodal fluidity, which is what succubi have. It means they can change their sex on a bimodal spectrum between male and female. They cannot do things like alter their breast size or genital length/size/shape

True sexual fluidity means that the creature is not limited to the bimodal distribution for sex characteristics like other creatures. They can change the size and shape of primary and secondary sex characteristics. As such these races can have many biological sexes that they can change and adjust as they please, but simultaneously none as well

What are Mutabilis Demons?

Mutabilis demons, or shifters, are a race of shapeshifting demons that were originally a single devil named Mutabilis.

Mutabilis's core was found and shattered when they sided with the nephalem daughter of Truth and Lust named Shade, who tried to overthrow the gods and establish herself as the only god of New Earth. (She will be her own post)

The shattered pieces became the cores for new demons, making them the youngest race on New Earth (all the shifters that are main and secondary characters are the third and youngest generation).

They are untrusted, especially in the after realms, due to both their history with Shade when Mutabilis was whole and the fact that many have formed cults that worship the imprisoned nephalem. This leads to unfair discrimination, especially when it comes to them taking positions of power, where one can be seen as untrustworthy for even knowing a Shade worshipper regardless if they themselves take part.

Shifters come in many shapes, sizes, and forms. They are so diverse that there are only three defining traits for them

1) they will typically have at least one body part that is disconnected from the rest of their body, but still functions like an attached limb. This helps with energy preservation and management

2) they have a crystal-like core they can revert to if their body is greatly damaged or they lose too much energy. Shattering this core will kill the demon instantly

3) their blood can come in many colors and will float in a way similar to water when it's in space

They can combine to create stronger shifters, though this is not the way they reproduce nor is it related to how they reproduce, it's an ability that comes from the fact that they originated as a single being and therefore can become one with another. Many of the cults of Shade even believe that combining enough Shifters would make them whole again and revive Mutabilis in way.

There is little known about them since they are relatively new to the world, but biologists on new earth do their best to learn how these curious demons work

I am not okay don't touch me

[robotspock]

nutrek doesn't understand spock they play him really stiff and closed off but when you watch tos he is EXTREMELY open in his body language, and even though his idiolect is a bit formal he also is very relaxed when he speaks. nutrek has essentially just reinvented tuvok bc that's NOT spock

Fernando 2012 Chair Lore (source: me)

So I've been thinking a lot about Fernando sitting in this particular chair in the Ferrari garage in 2012 for [redacted] reasons:

Originally I just wanted to find more pictures of it for reference, and then went down a rabbit hole of 2012 pictures, trying to figure out when exactly the chair came to be. There's so many pictures of him in it, and it's so funny to me to imagine them hauling this super villain chair all around the world for him. And so now I'm obsessed with the evolution of it:

Pre-Chair - Australia to Bahrain:

He just had this little stool, well I should say big because it somehow still manages makes him look small. Clearly not comfortable; to paraphrase @sweatyflytrap, it's not conducive to his inner Shakespeare villain monologues

The Chair Appears - Spain

He suddenly now has this, aforementioned, super villain chair. Several things, why is it like this. It looks like a sim chair almost ngl. And then the weird plexiglass support is confusing me, like where did they get that. It furthers my narrative they just had this chair that they couldn't put in a car so they put that clear bottom on it. Anyways yes good, now he has somewhere to brood

The Chair Evolves - Silverstone

Look!! They gave him a booster seat!!!

The Chair is Now Here to Stay :)

I downloaded a truly horrible amount of pics him in this chair, so now you all must also look at them >:)

*he still had the chair in 2013, but I think they took it away from him in 2014 :( Is nothing sacred in this world??? I hope he got to take it home hahaha

Solibri Woman WIP

[maxiezone]

Really wanted to draw something in this friend group meme after I saw @skipppppy do it with the Scooby gang, and I got inspired randomly to do it with my Ben 10 oc’s

[abbidavisart]

Oneiroi Infographics I've been developing this idea for a few years now and finally decided to share! I've done a few more but these two are the most polished.

[rose-of-strangers]

I wanted to share some more lore stuff for me and my partner's fantasy world. We made a design change to one of our races called Almacks. They now have a sail fin-like tail to help with temperature regulation, and they have some rules when it comes to the colors they can have.

The temperatures around the mother during birth dictate the color the baby will be, ranging all colors from darker colors for cold and warmer colors for hot.

Also made a chart of height and age for all the races in the world (the height is their average height and the age is the max age that race can live to)

[puffpastrycrimewatch]

I drew a few of my fictional races....I got tired I'll doodle the rest of the races next time (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

(I wasn't gonna post this at first but screw it!!)

So Reindeer's are natural born hunters, they like to use their prey like features to lure predators, they mostly hunt brugmansia's monsters and help make sure forests are safe for their kin, they really dislike the Goddess Brugmansia and Erklings. The Raindeer are known to not worship any god.

Erklings are folk that live and breathe the wilderness, they can live for as long as a tree can, their skin resembles the grooves and color of a tree. they were born in Brugmansia's image to look like her children. They worship Brugmansia and Tentsosra, and have a feud with the Reindeer folk for hunting down Brugmansia's creatures.

Imps are refugees of Gahenna, they were forced to leave their home when an unknown evil was threatening their lives, they mainly blame this event on another race called the Vacuus, who were imps until they were cursed to never see the faces of their loved ones. Imps have forked tongues and a poisonous bite, their skin color varies from red, blue and yellow.(mixed babies skin can be different like red and blue baby would be purple)

Hey folks! This post is the post regarding the lore of each of the 'races' currently in WHTPA ! If you'd like to read the first post I made about the lore, please check it out here! Same as before, all lore will be under the cut!

So before going in depth about the 'races', I should explain why I'm putting quotes around the word! For my lore, I'm really using 'race' in a way DnD or other TTRPGs may use it, where things like robots and other inorganics are considered as such. There are distinct human races in the story, though they are completely different to the races of Earth, so while humans look like they do here, they will have different names, cultures and languages, due to the differences between Ezex and Earth ! That being said, lets get into it!! Humans

Humans are one of the main eight races in the current lore of Ezex, and are as you expect, at least visually! There are cases of humans having traits from other 'races' (for a variety of reasons) but for the most part, they are as you imagine, with little differences to this Earth visually! Necrobots

The Necrobots are essentially humans brought back to life by mechanical means, in a Frankenstein's Monster type of way. A family member or loved one can sign a form, giving the Hawkes Corporation permission to graft skin and hair the best they can to the robots and “rebuild” the loved ones, giving them “renewed life”. There are still a lot of flaws in the Necrobots. A lot of them come back with trouble processing thoughts or emotions, lost memories, or in some cases experiencing intense and untameable agony. There have been issues in the past, especially with the first Necrobot, or Proto Necrobot as he is sometimes referred. Dolls

Dolls are entirely inorganic clockwork creatures, most commonly made of porcelain, but also made of brass, copper, gold, wood, glass, and plastic. They do not need to eat or sleep, and can not feel physical touch, though many of them engage in these activities for their own enjoyment. Dolls were originally designed and created by Lady Juliette Howlett (he/him), though are now more frequently made by Lady Howlett & Co Dollmakers, a company Lady Howlett runs, but is not directly in the product line of unless it is regarding new material for the Dolls. Vampyres

Vampyres are a race of energy and emotion feeders. No one knows where they came from, but considering they are yet to cause many problems, no one really questions them or their motives. Originally thought to be the vampires of Ezex myth (hence the name they have adopted), Vampyres feed not on blood, but on intense emotions or on the energy around them, most often steam energy. They are very similar to humans, though they can have nonhuman aspects, such as claws, pointed ears, and unnatural eye colors. Lycanthrope

Lycanthrope are a race of animal like folk, often with more hair on their bodies, tails, pointed ears, padding on the feet and hands, claws, unnatural eyes, and fangs. Commonly canine in appearance, though coming in many different shapes, Lycanthrope originally hail from Ivorham and Meckburn, some of the colder parts of Ezex. Lycanthrope are known to be faster, have more sensitive senses of hearing and smell, and tend to hold heat more than most other races do. They speak a language called Lycan Tongue. C.H.A.Ps and B.L.O.K.Es

C.H.A.Ps, or Collection and Helper Automaton Pals, are robots built by Cogsworth Robotics to help those who aren’t able to help themselves (disabled, the elderly, young children ect) and are built to do little tasks like getting food, delivering packages,  getting clothes and things of that nature. B.L.O.K.Es are similar, but are more personal, around the house helpers, built to do more heavy duty tasks like Gardening, cleaning and house repairs. It is generally accepted that if a C.H.A.Ps or B.L.O.K.Es shows up to collect something for the person they are helping without funds that you hand off the goods anyway.

Peacekeepers

Not much is known about the Peacekeepers. Organic or inorganic, from Ezex or not, all that is known about the Peacekeepers is that they showed up in many of the major cities one day, dubbed themselves Peacekeepers, and starting protecting the people of Ezex.

DnD Looore art for the upcoming animation! Roughs are taking forever, but they're happening!

I was GOING to post some animation wips with this- but tumblr keeps hiding my post when i do so.. i guess you have to check out Ratreon for those. bummer-

[thegreatyin]

So considering u did the secret route did you see the grandma? I still have no idea who she was.

oh yeah, i talked with @superoffbatter about it.

secret iceberg route spoiler discussion below the cut

we're pretty certain she's the thief of faces. the portrait she used is from an earlier ES where she's also hypothesized to appear (the waltz that moved the world, to be exact), and based on dev quotes from around the same time as the ES dropping + the way she uses "grandchildren" in connection to the lifeberg, it's not likely to be anyone else.

Baseline sketch for commonly found races in Audite(working on giving them clothes).

From left-right we have an elf, tiefling, lizardfolk, triton, gnome, and halfling.

Other races associated with Audite include, but are not limited to, satyrs, firbolgs, minotaurs, goblins, and humans.

(I know the red line isn't straight don't come for me)

[reagan-the-saunders]

Soooo I may have just added to another one of my Oc's lore.

Again.

While I'm supposed to be writing about Vyeshna.

Anyways, yeah Marina is part Nord and part Altmer, in addition to her like 80% Bosmer blood. Gotta think of how a conversation about her Altmeri blood would go over with Cary, and Tally come to think of it. Hmm...

[j-esbian]

(one of) the most frustrating parts about the portrayal of drow society is that it wants to create Reverse Sexism without uncoupling itself from some. pretty foundational patriarchal ideas. it ascribes to the (tired, essentialist) notion that men are inherently good at certain things, and women are inherently suited for different things

but rather than the basic subversion of “women are warriors and men are the homemakers” or even early feminist thought experiments like “traditionally ‘women’s priorities’ are given importance over ‘men’s’ (ie things are governed by council, importance is placed on childrearing, etc)”, menzoberranzan is “this society still holds to patriarchal values and women are not as good at these things which is why it’s demonstrably worse”.

the biggest tell is that they have to control the male population to maintain female dominance, the implication being that in a fair fight, men would easily overpower them. it assumes the misogynist ideas as fact that “women are inherently weaker” and also “women are duplicitous” so the drow fighting style is based on stealth and sabotage rather than “”honorable”” face- to-face combat (letting lie also the assumption that the only avenue for ambition is through military violence, and therefore still making it so that they are reliant on men, even as disposable shock troops, for their success).

the only things that keep women in charge are by stacking the numbers on a systematic level, and through sexual domination on the individual level (because clearly the only real power a woman can have over men is her sexuality).

it is a society where “men act like men” but women don’t act like women; it is evil because an act of god created an aberration against the “natural order” of things, and there is no one to tend the hearth (because if the women won’t do it, no one will)

[plutoniumpuddle]

I'll eventually do all of them but this just to give me direction.

The lore drop will include art and whatever fun lore I've come up with for that race as well as the basic info. The changes I've made aren't meant to be for players, the changes I've made are for my dnd inspired story
