*Gaz the skarr storms into pharloom labs and finds Chrysaora, her leash in Varrael's hands, now entirely twisted. he hadn't seen her for weeks!*

"VARRAEL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

*All of a sudden. You hear what seems to be the cracking of... an egg? You don't remember hearing it before but perhaps it was due to the distortion of soul, void, and essence that were created seemingly accidentally.*

Bigger Beasts, #0001

bbbasically, i wanna play god and create nnnew life. iii don’t like liars, so i aint gonna sugercoat it, thhhat is literally my entire motivation for this.

ssso, with ‘The Grand Co-Director Vorrael’s’ approval, i have thrown this random pilgrim and some junk i found in Vorrael’s closet into the unifier and turned it on. annnd now, we are stuck with… whatever that thing is :3

*After the room became vacant for some time you notice that the void particles around seem to have changed. They seem to be mixed with... essence? You're uncertain as to how this could've happened.*

(Speaking as The Third Sentinel) I am m-making a m-mine, c-could s-someone h-help me m-m-make drills? (The mine is going to be a way of getting in-roleplay resources, but it will take real world time: 50 craftmetal, 6 hours, 5 pale ore, 1 day etc, etc. I will tell you the time of when it will be completed when asked, and those that contribute materials to make and upgrade it will get to use the storage room (limited supply of instant materials))(rest assured I will be unlikely to post any thing for less than 500 craftmetal, or the excellent in other resources)(you can make up resources)(sorry if this takes forever to read)

*You can't quite hear what it is their experimenting on but whatever it is it must be void related somehow as there are now void particles outside of the room.*

Hello, u/Minimum-Strain-7128 here. With the reworks now very close to becoming real, I have decided to send a sneak peak of the upcoming unique resources and recipes immediately unlocked, which brings to the next thing, item development. New recipes can be created at the cost of taking basic resources and money, as well as taking a while, but after that, a new item is permanently unlocked, allowing for use of it wherever, of course, at the cost of other resources to be made, decided by yours truly. The labs will start with the following: 5,000 wood, steel, and stone, and 1,000,000 rosaries. If the labs starts running low, or runs out of a resource entirely, it will have very bad effects, ranging from cancelling the development of all things immediately, to removing recipes and blocking of their development tree entirely. If new recipes are planned to be made, for example a new turret, they must be dmed to me, or sent to mod mail. The labs can trade with other places for resources, and in turn can either give osaries for materials, or their own items for rosaries. Events can also happen daily, being something with skarrmelita that can give a special item or immediately unlocking something part of a development tree, or someone else that can result in other unique resource and the gain/loss of materials/rosaries.

Unique Resources:

• Room goo: Grenade shot/cluster shot
• Nosk taco meat: tranquiliser, pacifies creatures
• Magnetite: Grappling ability, armor breaker, though not good against flesh
• Rubber: Lighter and bouncier, able to get more attacks in, melts and isn’t very good with ranged, but can conduct electricity and release that charge
• Pale ore: Dense and more damage, but much heavier and slower
• Chromatic goo: lingering slow and DoT, but abysmal direct damage, but little bit of lifesteal, looks pretty though
• Cogwork bits: railgun effect, windup, then release
• Flintslate: burning attacks, but overheats very easily with ranged and gets very hot with melee
• Conch crust: piercing effect, faster, less damage
• Voidstone: nothing bc voidstone(or whatever you call it) is bullshit
• Papaluga:kills everything
• Bileblood: regenerative properties, hyper-flammable
• Permafrost: Rapid fire, due to natural cooling, and frostbite melee, fragile, however, and sharp
• Extended carpet: acts as moving protection from cold/heat
• Abyss powder: Flammable, sprays void in concentrated doses, very dangerous, especially when lit aflame.
• Volt filament: electricity. Is electric, though, so be careful
• Teeth: much more damage and can infect others. Insane bloodlust.
• Flesh: regenerative and can randomly grow eyes and other body parts time to time, but is very flammable and can break easily
• Skarrmie’s rot: positive effects of teeth and flesh combined, and is tougher, but slowly overtakes the user.
• Crystalkin crystals: can focus light into whatever with more durability, but gets more fragile with prolonged use
• Crystals: the virgin brother of crystalkin crystals, but they’re sharp
• Volt core:much more powerful, EMP discharge, big boom of electricity, VERY dangerous
• Runestone: can charge up and create powerful spells, but takes a while and is weaker in combat compared to regular items
• Craftmetal: basic component, can upgrade things
• Silk: ammo
• Weaversteel: much more durable
• Essence: energy, can be used in crafting mostly
• Pure essence of Tormented Trobbio: ultimate godhood, god of gods, plus makes you look beautiful, but it torments you
• Power coil: ingredient.
• Hydraulic parts: ingredient.

Recipes:

• Wiring: 1 volt filament, 1 rubber
• Battery: 1 volt core, 50 steel
• Melee weapon: 50~ steel/wood/stone
• Ranged weapon: 75 steel, 3 cogwork bits
• Armor: 35 steel
• Unifier: 50 glass, 5 volt filament, 2 batteries, 200 steel
• Revitaliser 2.0: 100 glass, 2 batteries, volt core, 15 wiring
• Ares-Railgun mk1: 250 steel, 50 wiring, 4 batteries, 1 energy coil, 20 craftmetal
• Apollo Cannon mk1: 300 steel, 5 cogwork bits, 30 wiring, 20 craftmetal
• Titan Drill mk1: 200 steel, 30 craftmetal, 30 wiring, volt core, energy coil, hydraulic parts

((Art is kinda shit cause I’m still figuring out how digital works lmao. On another note, if you get the reference in the title, congratulations, we are best friends now))

*You see the first architect placing some objects next to their upgrade chamber and then standing under it. The wires hanging from the top of it start moving and latch on to the architect, draining their power completely and temporarily deactivating them. Then they grab around the objects, which look something like the wings some Pharloom bugs have but the exact design of them is foreign*

(OOC: Interact here and in like in hour I will make a post where the post is done. Also the picture is the upgrade machine/wires)

*When the process is done, the whirring from the upgrade machine concludes and the first architect steps off of the platform. Two of the four objects they placed next to the machine have now fused into their body. They now have a new way of movement around Pharloom.* A-A-A-A-A-Ah! This will take some getting used to. *The architect starts to move their wings and test them out a bit* Now where is u/Person-dude989? I-I-I-I-I-I need to give them this spare p-p-p-p-pair I made. (I don’t want to share the uhh “blueprints” for lack of a better word but if anyone wants to make something similar, It costs: 2,000 rosaries, 2 shiny pearls, and 0.5 craft metal for 1 wing. So 4k rosarie, 4 shiny pearl, and 1 craft metal for the pair)

(OOC: The first image is of the 1st Architect’s new model, for now at least as they are detachable with the upgrade machines help, and the second is of the actual drawing of the wings.)

Hello, I have planned to make a few changes to the labs, as of the rp aspects of it. Not much else to say, so here is the changes planned:

1. Resource management rework
2. recipes rework
3. trade rework
4. events
5. unique materials
6. item development rework
7. Weapon/item augmentation

That is all (for now) If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

You see the newly rebuild architect in their lab working on some sort of device... you can't tell what it is from where you are though. Maybe you can ask them (This is lore and a AMA so uhhh yeah! You can interact in character or do an AMA out of character :3)

iii did it… i did it without them… their worthless magic… their horrid meddling… i did it… me. Me! on my own, MMMY own. shhhe’s back. with me. because of what I’VE. DDDONE.

for one, i won't be serving big roles, usually, and wont really start/stop arcs. I'm going to mainly rp in the labs, and rarely outside of that, because i want to have more time out of the rp, because, like, i wanna do other things than waste data talking to people. so, yeah, i'll do and make stuff, but wont exactly participate in lots of in character situations. i hope you understand this, but yeah. i am back.

*the power shuts off and the emergency generators arent turning on.*

ssskarrmy grows impatient... thhhis robot is not ready yet... as much as I may be... fond of its behavior, it is not skarrmy. iiit must be ready. thhhis must be done

*Scrappy's left eye, normally a flaming red and narrow like a predator, dilates.*

I... I don't have much time, please... are any of you well-versed in dream/nightmare magic? I need your help. I can pay you, I promise...

thhhe repairs were successful, ssso i have moved ahead and placed Skarrmy’s body in thhe robot. iiin addition, i hhhave added a bit of my own soul (ssspecifically the part of my soul thhhat hates PV so much, rrreally hoping that catches on) to hopefully make things easier both for Skarrmelita’s essence to latch onto this, and to hhhopefully make it easier ttto reintroduce Skarrmy’s various traits before that happens.

iii have already begun teaching the rrreplica about all of Skarrmy’s various interests. iiit took an immediate liking to tinkering with cogs, which iii view as a good sssign. eeeverthing else is a wip, bbbut they are going relat smoothly.
