#phalanx oc

[lilies-and-laughing-gas]

Yes I went to Alton towers for Halloween, yes I'm obsessing over the cool lore for the roller-coasters, yes I decided I wanted to make an OC because of that.

Say hello to The Custodian, an ex Phalanx worker who was infected by nemesis during an explosion in the egg containment sector. And their companion one of Nemesis's spawn they tend to just call it kid.

[downi-go]

the sillies! TW:language and cartoonyish blood and wounds

Top is my phalanx/ subterra oc Simon rae. Middle is Levi.d. My oblivion. And bottom is apocalypse. By Drayton manor apocalypse drop tower oc.

and before oblivion and Simon grow to become fond of each other. They start off despising each other. Since he may have shot oblivion straight through the stomach *my coaster OCs. Know as spirits. Cant die. Only be brutally injured ☹️)

He still flirts with her. But she doesn’t really pay it back. until. Some stuff happens. Some one dies. And relationships change 😘

and apocalypse. Just enjoys watching them be dickhead to each other.

I'm very normal about your towers ocs rn. Would you drop some fun (or not so fun) facts?

You betcha anon!! Aaaa I am so flattered, I'm happy you like my little squad 🧡

This got a bit long, but under the cut, it is TRIVIA TIME:

The Nemesis DNA occasionally sparks some predatory animal-esque instincts in Tempo. Raw meat triggers her appetite something fierce. She has to reign that in sometimes, so she doesn't embarrass herself.

Tempo also lives up to her name by being damn good at rhythm games. Catch her throwing down in the Forbidden Valley arcade. You will NOT beat her at Guitar Hero. (It's hand-eye coordination training, she says, as if she's ashamed of being a gamer)

Tempo and Altair are pals! They may not know all the ins and outs of each other's situations, but they definitely share a "something happened to me and now I'm Changed and this is all very stressful" comradery. Pass the Nemesis Lager, I'll drink to that.

Altair almost always sleeps with the lights on. I wouldn't say they're afraid of the dark, but the pitch black makes it easier for their mind to play tricks on them, and can feel a bit too much like the darkness of space. It makes them nervous.

Altair has an incredible bullshit radar. When they heard about a certain Ministry that specializes in making people happy-- with scientists that focus on the idea of oblivion, even?-- they got curious, and went to see if there might be something there that could help them with their existential anxieties. But they took two steps into X-Sector and could immediately tell that the Ministry was up to some questionable stuff, and that marmalisation was NOT for them, so they turned right back around. This little venture is also how they first met Cass.

Their bullshit radar also applies to Cass. They see through his fancy facade to an alarming degree, and are one of the few people that can catch him off guard with their brute honestly and spot-on assessments of him.

Cass is all about his image and reputation, but he does have a secret comfortable and sort of goofy side, that very few people get to see. It mostly comes out when he's at home by himself.

Cass very much dislikes the cold. He gets chilly easily, catch him bundled up most of the time.

Cass makes a damn good omelette. Breakfast is the meal he most often has company over for (make of that what you will), so he's learned a few good recipes and is happy to whip up something yummy, with mimosas to top it off. But when it's just him and he's off to work, his staple is black coffee and sugar donuts.

Cass has a huge dumb superiority complex, but overall he IS fairly pleasant to the average person, if you can stand him. He's got the charisma to carry a conversation, for sure, and generally comes across as quite charming. But how he acts around you is also partially dependent on what he thinks he can get out of the interaction. If he doesn't like you, he simply won't put in the energy. If you get on his nerves he may also be downright nasty to you, though this mostly applies to Kipp (who doesn't seem to realize that he's being snubbed, much to Cass's annoyance).

Kipp thinks Oblivion is a bit of a downer (pun intended?). It looks fun, but everyone is so SERIOUS over there. He'll happily stay over at The Smiler, thank you very much.

Kipp is an early bird and a little workaholic. He'll be up at the crack of dawn to make sure The Marmaliser is in full working order for the day, and he'll stay late to do extra little tidbits like polishing or fine-tuning. To him it's like spending all day with his best friend, and there are very few places he'd rather be. Something something they say if you love what you do

He's also been known to fall asleep in the maintenance bay, and if he wakes up late enough-- or if Asher doesn't come find him and scoop him up and take him home-- then he'll just stay there overnight.

Asher is right up there with The Marmaliser as things that Kipp loves and that make him happy. Asher is so so so good for Kipp, in a lot of ways, but especially because he shows Kipp genuine, tangible affection, not something imagined. And Kipp returns it in spades! He's very affectionate.

Kipp's apartment is MESSY. He isn't unhygienic but he's horribly unorganized, there are tools and clothes and whatever everywhere. He really only spends time at home when he's there to shower and sleep, and doesn't tidy much. To him, it's organized chaos. He knows where things are-- mostly. But to an outside eye, damn bitch, you live like this?

Kipp also cannot cook. The most you're getting out of him is frozen pizza rolls, this guy lives off of snacks and food truck food. He'll also put mustard on anything that makes sense to.

“What is it?”

“Hmmm?” Trollex broke from his reverie. Pulling his attention away from the pups farther down the to look at Reeve. Only to be met with that same worried expression that turned up when he’d spaced out. 

”It’s nothing… don’t worry about it.”

He caught the way her fin lights flickered into lovely shades of red and green.  So often in the palace she kept a tight lock on her colors but here in the wilds she felt no compulsion to hide her anger or how his avoidance made her nervous. 

So, that had been the wrong thing to say…

“It’s the dreams again, isn’t it?” She pressed. An edge to her words.

Trollex just lowered his frills until they were almost even with his neck and turned his head away. Not wanting to see the melting pools of orange displeasure in her biolights cut through with night time purples of care. Making her worry was the last thing he wanted but… 

“Trollex…” Reeve’s voice had gone soft. As much hurt as it was concerned and it tore him up on the inside.

Swiping a hand up into his hair he relented.

“Fine. Yes. It’s the dreams…” Trollex heaved a sigh and roughly thumped his hand back onto the soft sand of the overlook. Sending them into a pointed silence.

Something they sat in for long enough he debated apologizing. He hadn’t meant to snap at her. She was just worried. And he’d been out of it here lately and he usually needed a push to talk about things.. 

His spiraling thoughts quieted as a hand laid on his back. Trollex peaked up to see Reeve had shuffled closer. Her thigh nearly brushing his side and her hip fin draping over his lower back. Lavender and dawn pinks whirled amidst her scales. Complex subtleties of teal and green and yellow stuttering between.

He tried to smile and rested a hand on her knee. Pulsing his own lights with blues and purples that were almost dark enough to blend with his natural colors.

“What was it this time?” She asked softly.

He had told her of his dreams before. The only one he had even mentioned them to. But even with that… trying to articulate what was in his head seemed like too much. Too wild and off the wall as he explained all the voices and snippets that made up some elaborate dreamscape he’s had since he was thirteen.

His eyes slid to the side and back down to the pups in the ravine below. Watching them play under the careful oversight of the local ferals. He couldn’t be sure any of them were the parents but that didn’t seem to matter among them. 

“We were talking… About the kind of life we wanted and being… parents.”

There wasn’t a need to explain ‘who’ he had been talking to. It was always the same mysterious troll. There were sometimes other voices in the mix. A rougher feminine growl here and there, another with a pleasant drawl, one that made his nerves sing for how high it got. And more beyond that. But a single constant was his sweet, soft spoken, singer. 

And the life that Trollex could only imagine through the conversations they shared. 

“Oh… Trollex.” She never laughed at him for what he said. Never told him he was losing his mind or needed to get over whatever hallucinations filled his head when he slept. Never wrote it off as just dreams to shrug off. And sometimes that made it worse. Because he knew the sympathy in her words wasn’t just the pity a parent felt for their child with a nightmare. It was genuine in the same way empathy was given to a friend that had lost a loved one.

“It’s okay… Don’t worry about it…”

It's hard to deal with a life you have no way of touching. One you can only piece together through soundbytes. Still, what a pretty picture it paints.

Honestly favourite video I’ve taken so far. He’s so fun to cosplay. Yes his lore is messed up. But he’s just so silly

[coulrosaurus]

Tempo is a Phalanx guard that ended up being used in one of those sketchy experiments at The Compound. She survived getting Nemmy DNA'd and is currently under close watch as part of their weapons program.

She also gained a slight connection with Nemesis, like a very light mind link. Not enough to clearly communicate, but they can pick up on each other's vibes way more clearly than before. She has NOT told higher ops about this.

The Nemesis DNA does weird shit to her, sometimes. When she loses her cool she sprouts tentacles and spikes and whoops she's a monstergirl.

Overall, it's a bit terrifying to her. Not only because of the immense physical changes, but because Nemesis is so often viewed as something to be feared. And now that Nemesis is part of her, she fears herself in a way, too.

But because of this, Tempo has gained a genuine empathy for Nemmy and doesn't really know what to do about that. She's secretly on Nemmy's side, for sure. "Seek the Truth makes some good points," she thinks, but does not say, lest the nearest Phalanx sniper immediately take her out.

But she also can't LEAVE because she is essentially Phalanx property now. Living classified data. Also if her condition gets worse, the Phalanx scientists may be the only ones who can save her life or whatever.

Nemesis thinks she's mid.

In the newst post there were showen two Techno Trolls but they have tails, are that because they are ferals or hybrids?

They're hybrids. Not a common sight and hybrids are often abandoned in techno society due to various factors. However, they are pretty safe in feral territories due to the fact that feral technos look after all children, not just their own. Someone's always watching over them, protecting them. Even when it might not seem like it.
