#ghoust oc

These questions occured to me when i wanted to rethink my phighting OC, Paths, after i actually found info about and looked into the lore of Phighting (I prioritized making a phighting oc of a gear i actually remember and fondly used. Coil used to be one but.. well- im not challenging the devs they did so much better than what i had in mind.)

mainly my info is sourced from these videos (by TheNamelessAccount) (by manta_mari) thank youuuuu :33

originally, my idea was that Paths was able to generate paths because they owned a crystal. And they're like a shows-person like The Flipside or whatever. I didn't rlly think much for them at all bc i didn't want to set anything in stone without knowing any of the source lore

After knowing what little lore about phighting crystals, i was ready to implement it to Paths until i wondered - does the crystal REALLY make her paths?

First off, every Demon in Inpherno spawns already with their gears and basic knowledge in how to use them

Second, pretty sure not just anybody can have access to it!! There's only one, and the only one's who we know has access to it currently is Subspace

Third - i dont even think materializing is something the crystals do.

but enough about my oc - heres one things about the crystals i noticed.

The way to use a crystal is smth smth yada Horn smth smth idk the fuckinf words leave me alone

: The two phigters we know has a piece of the crystal is Subspace, Medkit and Coil.

For the first two, it being that shiny thingay between their horns.. its cool that Medkit's is shaped like a diamond while subspace's is like a star, and those being the shapes recurring in their design.

I cant tell if the crystal shard has ALWAYS had that form.. (it'll be especially interesting of Subs' shard was always like that) if Subs' was modified, or if they just overtime morph to the shape befitting its user.

(coil art by EasternightF on Twitterx)

for Coil, it being a shard between the bump on his right horn! If you look at the other coil colors, you'll see that it's actually a blue-ish / gray chunk lodged into his color-changing horn

semi unrelated but - what if it doesnt work on his left horn bc his left horn isn't REALLY his horn..? its just a prosthetic decoration so he doesnt stand out.. i mean if it IS his horn, it should've changed colors with his gear shouldn't it...? or maybe im looking too much into it idk. His bandage and clothing change colors too so 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

And the Biographs technically doesnt count? the crystal is used as its core and im pretty sure the horns are only accessory to make them look more demonoid

i THINK the crystals work by concentrating the summed power/effect of its user's gear? If we're thinking that their ultimates are the result of the crystal's enhancing and thats ONLY what it does

If not, they also enhance by giving buffs to both its user and their surrounding(s) probably. But also idk much abt any of the phighters' abilities.. and also, again, Biograph.

i want your guys' thoughts on trhis......

i rlly wunna finally be satisfied with Paths but before designing her i rlly want to get at least some part of her lore figured out and for that i feel like i have to figure out the crystal thing too decide everything else 😭 (among other things like what even IS their gear...)

eurgghh brain dead.... I'll come babck to. this........ skmetime idk....

Definitions of everything lore i talked abt

(1) Demon: the species all the horned humanoids in Phighting lore is called. Has nothing to do with biblical demons (yet)

(2) Inpherno: the place(country? world?) Phighting takes place in. It contains The Crossroads and the Four Factions. Very big and large (pause. -dont say it.)
