So, ive recently gotten back into Protocreed and a what if..? idea i had was:

After Abstergo recovers Desmonds body, they experiment with his DNA and Blacklight. Resulting in him being revived after an outbreak and breaking free.

It could even be the assassins fault that the outbreak happened!

.

In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed the body dissapearing. It's only after the outbreak was contained and culled that Subject 17 was noted as missing. With all the footage being destroyed it is impossible to tell what happened to it, but the general consensis is that one of the infected ate it. It is a crushing blow to their research, but thankfully they have plenty of samples stored in a different facility, so all hope is not lost. No one thought of the possibilty that a repeat of Alex Mercer's revival could happen. Subject 17 has been dead for months, the body is simply too old. So no one thought too look in the shadows of the city, where something lay lurking. Tracking. Hunting.

Hungering

So I have a ProtoCreed idea similar to this that I posted here.

The comments/replies have more details on how it would go but, in a nutshell, Blacklight is a failed/abandoned Isu project headed by Tinia (so we can have a little hehe moment with Alex being called ‘Zeus’) and Dr Mercer is not a Templar but he’s still a piece of work.

And Desmond’s Isu to human genes ratio + his Bleeding Effect screwed up the virus that he still has the superhuman feats that Alex has but he can’t morph his body to have weapons or anything like that.

Instead…

It’s like he can spawn three specific humanoid figures made of the black and red writhing flesh which only has one specific goal: keep Desmond safe.

There’s more details in the link above but the main point is that Desmond’s virus makes him be able to ‘summon’ his ancestors who holds a piece of Alex’s OG abilities and it’s unclear if they are mindless or if their connection with Desmond keeps them docile because when Abstergo try to cut their connection (which are tendrils of red and black connecting the creatures to Desmond’s shadow), the creature goes berserk and attacks and devours everything around until Desmond reconnects with it.

So we have:

Altaïr = Blade

Ezio = Hammerfist

Ratonhnhaké:ton = Whipfist

Ezio gets Hammerfist because the sword of Altaïr is iconic so Altaïr gets the Blade and Ratonhnhaké:ton had the ropedart so he gets the Whipfist. XD

Although, in my original idea, Desmond keeps his memories (thanks to the Bleeding Effect) but if you want to go down the route of Desmond being ‘incubated’ by the virus during the story of Prototype and waking up afterwards, we can easily do that and the incubation period is actually what corrupted Desmond’s mind.

So in this situation, Desmond would be more like ‘Eve’ from Parasite Eve, the new origin of an outbreak (and everyone believes it’s Alex’s fault which will lead us to a modified setup for Prototype 2 and Alex and Desmond having an antagonistic start).

But the outbreak is strange because it seemed… targeted.

The ones to be hit first were Abstergo facilities or facilities under Abstergo’s shell companies.

And the spread only began when these facilities had fallen and the barricades have been breached, like… it wasn’t truly intentional but more of a ‘side effect’.

So now we have Alex trying to figure out what this new outbreak is because the ‘children’ for this one are faster and more cunning, using their surrounding to hide and wait. And these children seemed to be taking orders from three creatures made of darkness and blood.

(Or, if you want to preserve the Assassin white and red color scheme, it’s gonna be grosser with them being filled with pus and blood instead. The pus could be a sign that the virus is being combated by Desmond’s Isu genes though and that could be a clue for Alex)

And any time Alex tries to eat any of them, he only gains snippets of the memories of the same person: a man named Desmond Miles.

The three commander creatures also seemed to travel via shadows, being able to melt into the shadows before Alex could ever destroy them completely.

Later, he would realize that the whole city (whichever city we’re planning to set this on) are filled with what looked like lines all over (maybe one would say that maybe it’s the ley lines or something and Alex would say that it looks more like… veins…) and these veins are actually how the commanders travel all over the city.

At the center of the veins is a cocoon…

Ghost Guide Altair with Ezio (AC: Revelations)

Yes I know it's probably not so much a ghost as something else but I just really enjoy trotting alongside him with Ezio. I also love that he waits so patiently while Ezio loots the bodies XD.

[drunk-on-starlight]

As a general rule I dislike the whole "wasted potential" criticism when applied to anyone, but I think that Origins!Layla had such a strong start that Valhalla proceeds to throw in the trash.

I saw someone’s Nintendo direct leak image and they had Assassin’s Creed Unity on it and I’m like I’ll believe when I see it.

THE TORCHBEARER WAS SIMON NOGUEIRA!

Simon is a parkour athlete, and a French/world champion.

He is part of the French Freerun Family (3F), a pillar of parkour and a direct descendant of the Yamakazi spirit (the founders of parkour).

Simon actually performed officially for Assassin's creed before, as Arno and others. He was also part of a lot of artistics projects around parkour.

You can find a lot of the 3F videos on Youtube, as well as the AC collabs. Go check his work if you can, it's amazing

The studio that made fucking Peepoodoo of all things released a show on netflix yesterday featuring a bunch of Ubisoft properties and it's one of the most insane things I've ever seen. I'm only two episodes in and… I think?? I think it's good??

Assassin's creed is represented by a frog. It's explicitly queer right away. There's furries everywhere. Rayman is there and he swears a lot. The animation and art direction is downright incredible.

How did this get made. Who's the audience for this. What's going on anymore--

I did not edit this screenshot.

Spiderman : "You seem tired, Mister Moon Knight."

Moon Knight: " …Steven is keeping us from sleeping."

Daredevil : “Why ?”

Moon Knight : “He wants to play his video game.”

Deadpool : "Oh ! Little Stevie is playing video games?!"

Moon Knight : "Steven. And actually no, he asks Jake to play because he's not very good, but he watches and gives directions."

Daredevil : “What game ?”

Moon Knight : "Assassin's creed origins."

Spiderman : “The one in Egypt, right ?”

Moon Knight : "Yeah… I told him we could go to Egypt, but he wants to see ancient Egypt, with the pharaohs, while Jake shouts in Spanish because he has to be discreet to kill his targets, and Khonshu is screaming because it's not realistic at all."

Deadpool : "I see. Hard to sleep with all the noise."

Moon Knight : "…No, I could, but I want to see the endgame."
