I’m a lil curious what’s up with the Landmark Au cause it sounds pretty interesting and cool!!
The monster designs are really fucking cool holy shit…
HIIII THANKS FOR ASKING!!!!! im placing this under a readmore for politeness
LANDMARK is an old webcomic series i made in 2015! its world is currently being rewritten a decade later because i have cooler ideas now. the new look is kind of sci-fi / fantasy and indigenous futurism. ESSENTIALLY a fantasy world with solarpunk cities and robotic monsters.
the earth is populated with 5 sapient species: - humans - you know the drill - standards - fully mechanical robots - primals - robots with natural armor like clay, stone, fabric, and pelts - ringers - evolved robots with organic, meaty insides and artificial outsides. slight shapeshifters (side note, im on the fence about the name. its been the same since 2015 but im not ready to change it) - kazmic - organic, electric creatures born from lightning that need to live inside a machine or they'll fizzle out. most often inside machines or bodies specially designed for them. also naturally parasitic to ringers
the species dont live in harmony, but there is a huge overlap in larger communities. ringers arent barred from humanoid society, but they arent always accommodated for, especially if they're over the size of a bus.
where the X au fits in, the maverick hunters are called rangers and they are kind of like the monster hunters in the universe. all ringers have the sapience of humans, BUT a majority will act like monsters. rangers are sent out to reason with ringers causing problems like pollution, destruction, or disease. if they won't cooperate they're forced to drive the ringer out of the area!
zero is the only high-ranking ringer on the team, there ARE ringers who are rangers but he doesnt see them often, they also are more monster shaped than he is. he doesnt feel connected to monsters because he was raised as a human, AND he doesnt feel connected to humans because he knows he isn't one.
x is a human with a cybernetic arm, i havent fleshed him out much yet. axl is a kazmic and usually lives inside an ATV if he isn't in his body. i havent decided if sigma is a human or a standard, but thatll totally depend on how i feel about his interactions with zero.
other notes on this AU- the rebellion army are almost entirely ringers or primals, redips is a kazmic but is disguised as a standard. his "god redips" form is his true form overtaking the tower he operates from and turning the entire thing into his body.
some designs! most of this is in the old style, i havent started working on the new style yet.
zero and master x, god x, harpuia leviathan, axl, zero and axl epsilon, god redips
