i love this guy, the bat

She's a devarian plant sembla vani based on the kudzu vine, and she's kinda got them growing out of her skin like a long mane. it covers her face and most of her body and that serves to show how kudzu takes over any nearby surface.

she was still a child when the brandshock happened. ~30 or so cycles old. lived in an orphanage on a mild planet where the stars were always in view.

the brandshock affected her in an... unusual way. she doesn't really understand or remember what happened. she doesn't want to die, but she sure isn't happy.

when a group of vani started 'mercying' the others in her orphanage, she ran and barely made it out alive.she's been trying with all she can muster to escape from all the misery and violence and despair the brandshock caused. to maybe find someone else who also wants to survive.

it's relatively easy to hide her brand, though. she can just tuck the fleshy "vine" it's on into her tangle of vines, so despite her smaller size, at least her major weak spot is less visible.

so ye!

Nothin on psionics rn this is purely just... designs

(sorry for varying quality a lot of these are just concept sketches)

THESE GUYS ARE ALL SO COOL I love your art a ton!! They have such a fun flow and I love the shapes you use sm

The only viability note is with the final one- they're COVERED in Brands, where Vani only have 1 Brand or one "Brand Set" (like Xelzerin's horns or Insinera's remaining skin strips). With all of these Brands, this kwaiz would be VERY easily slain by others! That's a LOT of weak points.

Perhaps they're fake Brands? In that case, if you want to have fake Brands, you can help differentiate the fake Brands from the real Brand by shading the real Brand differently (because they lightly glow)! That, or depict the fact that the real Brand cycles like their eyes, while the fake ones don't cycle because they're just normal skin? Stuff like that!

theyre a wonder sembla and their quirk is that the faux mouth on their stomach is kinda as a hammerspace/magic hat type of deal that they can summon and take objects out of!

I was wondering how vitality sapping could work in this universe, but after mulling it over i could see it tbh

how that'd work via toxin, i'm not sure, but i could see it!

Konrolo sits in a little warehouse underground and has monitors set up in various different places around the world- courtesty of the shadow vani, silohwu.

Does the wonder sembla have a radius? Could Konrolo look at the monitor of new york and go "hmm i would like that building to be eviscerated", and then an army of gators crawls out of the sewers and starts destroying the place--- or does she need to be in that area for it to take effect?

Does wonder have a timer? Does it happen at a random time after the user wishes it to be or does it happen instantaneously? How much control over this would the user have?

Can a wonder user just... wish for something to happen at any given time and place to anyone and have it happen? Like "i wish Ranodio would just fucking. Explode rn" while she's on the moon and he's on earth?

How much focus and willpower (as well as psionics) goes into that?? What's the limit for it (like how plasma users can't.. summon a star.)

ALSO SORRY THIS ASK IS FUCKING GARGANTUAN i just dont wanna mess up her writing cause shes such an important character and id hate to spread misinfo on a semi public project /gen

1) Radius - All psionic abilities have a ranged radius based upon visualization, which also means they can affect areas they see in live cameras. The absolute cutoff is anything on different celestial bodies- you cannot be on the moon and affect something on Earth. HOWEVER- even with the ability to affect things via camera visualization, it takes more Will strain. The effects will be weaker and/or cause more mental willpower on the user, and likewise anything that's closer and in a tangible proximity will be stronger and use less willpower.

2) Timer - This is down to energy vs matter manifestations. If psionics conjure something that requires constant application, like a fire, a bolt of lightning, or otherwise doing an effect that's an energy, it will have a "timer" in the sense that once it is cast, it is done and cannot be repeated. If Wonder conjures a physical object of matter, the object stays until someone else removes it- same goes for every other sembla that summons energy or matter

Wonder also can't fully control the effects. Whatever's summoned will be summoned and "aimed" towards the desired task, but after they've been conjured, anything can happen and they can't be redirected or controlled directly

3) Wishes - Wonder cannot control the means (only cause Some Thing to happen), and the more specific and extravagant the desired outcome, the more strain it causes the user and the more focus it'd require. also like above, the absolute range cutoff is celestial bodies, so you can't be on Big Rock 1 and affect someone on Big Rock 2

4) Willpower - The more willpower one has, the more Big Things their manifestations of wonder can be. Wonder is commonly cast in the form of sudden small weather events, animal swarms, some piece of the room warping, a freak yet realistic accident, a freak UNREALISTIC accident due to warping, clownish shenanigans (like pulling 30 fuckin miles of cloth from your pocket even though that shit wasnt there before), something in the room suddenly gushing water, etc. of course, they get WAY more dangerous and complex, but thats the general common gist

ACTUALLY for a good example of media using Wonder - think of Discord from MLP as a VERY VERY strong Wonder user! also maybe the entirety of Alice in Wonderland. that'd be a whole Wonder user get-together

i heard smth abt viability checks,,,,? (big squid guy's brand isnt visible in the drawing but he has one!!)
