•Q: Where is Its mouth?
A: He's now eldrich god. he doesn't need it.
If it has one(or many), it might be beak. Not a mouth.
(Cause my Zahndrekh design's motif him was bird–especially peacock.)
•⬆️Oral structure motif. Nature is always good muse...

•Do not expect granpa Zahn's grace to it. This thing is him but not him.
• Yes he is lovecraftic monster god or something now but I think.... he don't know what he exactly is(and he was) and don't know how strong it is. Like nowday's AIs does. And yes, it can do miracle but it won't know the fact it did that by itself. I cannot imagine how it think about itself cause.... you know, he is broken by error occured while GS.... I can't think him without his mental disease.. He's a character whose appeal is heavily influenced by his mental disability, and I don't know who he'd be if I took that away.🤔 Maybe it's okay to let him keep living in wonderland just like when it was mere metallic doll.. Till the end of the everyting and also after end of the everything......
•Unlike other trencendent C'tans, I think it talks sometime. Cause HE DON'T KNOW HE IS GOD NOW. For same reason, I think it usually takes visibly SMALL form just like it once was.
• The Clarity / The Madness. Yes, it will suddenly appears in front of you and give you some advice to win. But that advice might make you crazy and have to roll 2d10 for Sanity check when you trying to analize. So don't try to analysis its advice. JUST DO IT AS WHAT IT SAID
• Unlike That one in TIATD, I think it does and trying to do chitchat with lessers. I think its chitchat is totally sounds/feels/looks like simillar with wernicke’s aphasia patients those, Or sometimes they are riddles that make sense but are extremely difficult to interpret. Maybe, perhaps he don't even know what he even saying although there is the sapient in it. Only it will know....or not. But somehow you might understand it's word. But BE CAREFUL, IT IS INSANITY ITSELF although it is clarity too. Long-time chitchat or trying to fully understand it's saying make you gone insane.
• You might able to heard/feel/detect some strange, regular electric sound or waveform that simillar with heartbeat when he is near with you.(~00:24)
•Its body color is not white. It's cosmic latte(fff8e7). The average color of stars of the universe and the evidence of the universe is dying.
• Q: Why infrared tone is there, not green?
A: Severed hit me hard.....Aaaand also I put it for representing blood. (You know, he is a (transnecrontyr)robot but not a robot in a way)
• It walks with toe's tip, and because of that, its center of gravity is tilted backward, like a bird. It doesn't really need to do this anymore because he's no longer physically bound, but let's just call it is its characterization.
• Q: Does He remember his (once-)varguard?
A: I personally Being C'tan is more similar w/ rebirth. Not a mahoshōchyō transformation. So, no. I think he can't. But I think echo of memory is might be remain. Y'know, cause they have been tween flame for a looooong time........ At last it will not trying to use him as a tool or eat him. Maybe.
•I was actually planning on mixing the design of this with Obyron cause official confirmed they are... you know. But I just stopped. This is pretty extreme to do/be and before those, dead should stay dead(Again, cause I interpret transformation as rebirth.)(According to TIATD, After the ritual, it seems like the one who transformed almost completely loses memories of their relationships with others. Like rebirth. Think of ■■■'s case. it could still remember its rival's laughing sound, but it couldn't remember who was that rival. I see "transformation" as the death/change of the self that has been constructed in the relationship. And.. If you want to be a god, then you have to die.) and the alive should keep live on. If both are alive as a one entity, that will be quite boring. in my oppinion.(SORRY I LIKE ANGST)
•I feel like I've done something I shouldn't have done to Obyron.....🥺<YES you shouldn't have done this.
