who took a picture of my ts ocs
#atropos' design is still somewhat incomplete because there are details i want to add#but for the most part their arms and legs are the ones sporting armor (and decadent ones at that)#because their only worth is the part of them that can partake in action. that can kill and chase and maim and just Do#you wouldn't keep an old hound around in a world like this out of pure sentiment - no. it does its job well#and you'll run it's snout into the ground before you lay it to rest#and they don't have armor on their viral organs because they simply do not care if they die. in fact - if there's anything strong enough to#even NICK their vulnerable body parts? they'll count that as a luxury. better to die a soldier's death than to die discarded#alas... no one or thing has been strong enough to truly challenge their lax approach. yet#lachesis is decadent to the max - they sport jewelery of all types. they are gold and ivory. they are glory in every detail#because its human geniusry they're wearing. and they can only bathe in it as an untalented curator indulges in a gallery of masterpieces#maybe if they shroud themself in enough detail then you'll miss the rot in their sclera and hands. the unblinking smile#the 2 faces beneath their veil#clotho is supposed to be a LOT more gaunt than i draw them im still trying to figure them out#as in. they're literally just skin and bones and rot. all their flesh melted off#they swindle themself in simple cloth to portray themself as assuming and innocent#as trustworthy and pure. to hide the sharp edges beneath linen#they take such strong inspiration from a character inspired by plague doctors despite being an obstetrician#they save lives. in every way of the word. they midwife to birthing mothers and they expel sickness and disease#and they bring your dying self back from the dead. not truly. not wholly. but still - you still serve some use.#theirs is not the sanctity of life. but rather the utility of it
