messing around with art program and drew waster's inner thoughts in that last page at the Flowerbed Fortress lol (I'm joking but it was funny so i made it)

I'm so excited to be able to finally start using more Streetcleaner OCs~

Cameos by: EMJMM - @polumesyatsgay B1 - @evactouch Ultrakind Team - @birdsmybeloved

If I have borrowed your OC you can obvs request me to adjust so that:

I stop using them entirely

I can only use them as cameo background appearances with credit

I can use them as a character with speaking and all (tell me about your OC i wish to know all the things please. Lore dump on me. Tell me things)

Our first Scout Point! The Flowerbed Fortress located in 1-3 is a large structure. As with almost every other Scout Point you will find multiple factions / multiple different teams that have agreed to a ceasefire within the grounds. Sometimes it's just a quick stop for fuel or other business. Other times some remain for a long period of time. There is no set duration of stay required.

More headcannon lore / worldbuilding below the cut

i'm also shifting away from the sketchy lineart to still sketchy but now a more solid line style because its annoying me how much it can take to get a solid enough line with the sketch brush sometimes.

I decided not to be hard on myself as this is supposed to be a low pressure fun thing with no real standards so after being so busy IRL have a text heavy page lol

pssssst

I heard you like asking questions about ultrakill ocs,,,,,you can like,,,,,check mine out if you'd wanna

it's more than just these two I just thought this would be a good image for an ask :>

Hello! Yes! Good! Sharing time! I thought folks would want to hold up their oc blorbo and be like 'this is my son with every disease' and I ask more but this also works lmao

So you have a bunch of V-series OCs from what I can find on your tumblr, right? I dig the idea of V-model enemies being created after Hell gets to witness what V1 could do. Let alone that V2 had been down there first already entertaining Hell and the Terminals.

At least that's what I'm assuming lol Time for Questions!

First, am I right? Did hell decide to take up more robotic parts and fusing them to husks and hell mass to create these false V models?

You've given them all the insect abdomen was it purely stylistic or have you come up with a function that explains why each one has it?

Do they run on blood like other machines in the ultrakill universe or if they were Hell made do they not need any because of Hell Mass?

V I has a virtue. Tell me things I wish to know more how did they get that? The virtue is communicating with V I is that a development after it was captured? was the Virtue a creation of whoever made these Models?

Does the Virtue have a name? If they were captured, do they try to escape? Do they still rally their power to attack the VI or are they infected and on board with VI's desires?

C-4 uses the sand and I can only imagine they are either super popular or generally disliked. They can offer extra protection for others by making them unappealing targets. How do they regard others? How do they choose which ones they protect? Does C-4 Get that choice or are they commandeered as someone's personal tool to help themselves and don't care much for what C-4 wants.?

V-5, what is their story? How did they lose their head? were they designed like that? How do they function or is this hell nonsense? Did they name their skull lmao

V0 is interesting as a concept. The mirror reaper was a single instance and specifically inherent to V1 as implied by the narrative. Especially with the presence of the office of the new peace with the breakdown of the OS and the single instance of it and the whole layer being the first big emphasis on reflection and looking at yourself (as V1) and "reflecting on you" on multiple levels of meaning. The husks are heavily implied to be possibly related to the creation of V1. So then to have V0 be a combination of both concepts fused into one beast... are they a enemy to all? do they go after machine and husk and angel? Do they try to tear into the layers of Hell itself

Now, a second question, also fueled by curiosity:

What are your streetcleaners' "brains" flesh-to-electronics ratio?

Thanks for the questions!

So in general for flesh to mechanics/electronics I don't really see it being any more or less than an average in game streetcleaner. Perhaps there's a bit extra fleshy bits for specific batch type subclasses. (EX: defenders with extra armor having extra fleshybits through their body to help support and move it as necessary)

We don't really know what the canonical meat to bot ratio is when it comes to software brains for all machines. Given that in the Fraud layer we can see there are regular computers that look like our world's. It's possible they're just all software and electronics with some blood in the mix. It's also possible there's half a brain in there.

Our biggest clue to possibly how computing occurs is from Benjamin (the Earthmover from Violence). below the courtesy cut for length

I ask forgiveness if this sounds foolish eidjjekd.

no that's an excellent question that didn't get much thought initially for me, but boy am I thinking about it now!

So canonically we don't actually know, so I'm gonna just talk about my headcannon. TL;DR: I think their vision is mechanical and a combination of cameras in the head eye slits that move independent of each other, thermal sensors, and a radar like capability.

The longer explination and justifications for that answer are below the courtesy cut lol

A Streetcleaners primary purpose is the removal of harmful substances or ones that could fester into disease vectors. Primarily they use fire. So between exposure to these substances and the smoke and release of chemicals from the burning it doesn't logically make sense for them to have flesh based biological eyes. So their vision is from mechanical sources.

I think it's a multifaced function for them honestly. In my mind, the actual "brain" of a streetcleaner exists inside their chests hence the extra plating (that bit with the warning stripes) and their heads are full mostly of thermal sensors to monitor the output of their flames and identify areas yet to be cleaned by fire. basically the front part of the snout.

Uhm

Give me... Probably a week or so to thinking about em more and come up with the answers !!!

I do promise that i shall reply though

[for future me this is in regards to THIS post]

Oh word, no rush on any of it and if your answer is "i don't know and don't really care to figure it out" that is perfectly acceptable too~

... Tho uh. There is no art yet and. I put nothing down actually because i trust my memory too much.

... And the concept is kind of cringe. Something like a prototype streetcleaner that survived until now cuz it was a museum piece/owned by a private collector.

Fist off, aw yay! I'm glad to give you a boost towards creativity!

Secondly:

Did you forget you are on the hellsite of cringe is dead long live the cringe? Do you seek to kill the joy of whimsy? NAY! Bring forth thy inner child and play!

Now tell me things I have questions.

Do they have a name / designation? Pronouns?

Are they functional, malfunctioning, or functionally malfunctioning?

Have they been active this whole time or did something happen on the surface to activate them and then they made their way to hell for blood due to the lack on the surface?

How do you regard their memory? Is it like they knew the world as the burgeoning or entering its prime time of the New Peace and then suddenly the next day the world is dead on the surface?

Did they download data from something to give them all the context they need? Are they needing to learn from other street cleaners?

Did their time as a museum piece affect the organic fleshy bits that we know machines have inside them and does that need to be addressed for them? or were they preserved and thus not have to concern themselves with it? Have they used hellmass as a substitute and does that impact their behavior or personality?

Do they have Opinions (TM) on the other Machines that would have been created after their time and are new to them?

Where do they live? Where do they spend their time? Do they stay on a layer or level? do they wander?

Are they social? Are they able to connect with all machines or do some of the newer ones have translation or remote connection errors due to technology incompatibility? if so would they willingly scrounge parts from other machines to improve?

Are they ashamed at their old technology self? Do they shake their fist at a cloud going on about how kids these days don't know how easy they have it?

Can they carry as much fuel as newer Streetcleaners or are they more limited due to being a prototype? or the opposite? do they have more but it's a hindrance in some way as the design was being refined stil?
