a comic featuring two of my ocs, ril & gherio.

working on a redesign of pearl. i really adore her, and i like some aspects of her design, but other aspects felt a bit generic to me. oswaldo schneider had sanitized benzaitengoku into planarcadia, but pearl has demonstrated interest in the planet’s original culture. intellitrons are known to hold little attachment to their physical body. they reshape themselves to fit the roles given.

so, pearl, a robot trying to imitate humanity, may emulate whatever she thinks the ideal steward, “daikokozu”, of the planet should be, but without losing the fact that she is representing the IPC. i tried to bring in more edo period elements without having it take over the design completely (since she can’t openly go against the IPC). you can see my research in the images, but i’m mostly looking into kosode or adding junihutoe-esque layers. in game, pearl’s mannerisms are still japanese with how bows frequently and at very specific depths (pay attention during dialogue cutscenes and you’ll see!).

i also wanted to make her seem slightly more inhuman. pearl loves humanity more than most intellitrons, but she still recognizes she is something other. her body is clearly robotic, but her canon face looks completely human. no fun! let her look totally unique, just like lygus and screwllum do! so i’m experimenting with her having a mask painted like makeup typical of the edo period. i’m not sure what i want her hair to be… fabric? sculpture? artificial hair like in dolls? most intellitrons have sculptural hair…

hey did you know that. anaxa is my favorite hoyoverse character ever actually. and i love him so much? I'm not even mad that he's dead because it was so in character. who or what could have even stopped that from happening. mr "survival priority approaches zero" was gonna sacrifice himself no matter what we did

[[here have a tierlist of my favorite hoyo characters per game . it is LONG and DETAILED and there are MANY npcs :D]]

Now I will compile a bunch of Anaxa quotes I really like

“Watch as I turn this farcical world upside down.”

"Alas, I am a human, standing tall on two feet, possessing both intellect and pride."

"When I was a child, I lost someone dear to me. When I was a teenager, I lost my faith. A while back, although you saved my life, I also lost my soul in the process... Now, I'm merely forsaking my body. What's the big deal?"

"This is but a necessary sacrifice on my path to transform into the purest of them all."

"If my hypothesis is correct... it means that I can actually ascend to godhood and reshape this absurd world that you all have created."

"When imitating divine evil, there's no reason to invest reason most pinnacle." 

"The most important quality a scholar must possess is foolhardiness. If you are overly cautious, then you'll never have the gumption to make the first step, and change will never come."

"Flip your perspective around and ask yourself this instead, "What should *I* do to ensure that the world doesn't stray from the correct path?" That is what you should be thinking about."

"All is science, and human wisdom knows no bounds. Both martial prowess and emotions are knowledge that can be found."

"Nothing in this world is ever born fixed."

"If this road is easy to walk, then future generations will not praise my name in piety."
