Serina: A Natural History of a World of Birds.

So I had been thinking of the concept of "What if the headset somehow appeared in other worlds and timelines, and other sophont species had put it on, resulting in them entering The Amazing Digital Circus?" In this case I had imagined it being a Thalassic Gravedigger from Serina, and since TADC mind scans were designed for humans specifically, I imagined that it glitched out when it scanned the bird and so it's avatar is just how the Thalassic Gravedigger naturally looked. I suspect it would certainly be an....experience for them, a species who essentially lived in mesolithic conditions now suddenly finds itself in a "circus" and encounters beings it'd never seen before. Plus Caine would probably just consider it to be another human guest and solved the language barrier by suddenly making it able to comprehend english and speak it with a simple snap of his fingers (which would absolutely cause distress).

If the Thalassic Gravedigger managed to adjust to the immediate chaos of the circus, I wonder how it would interact with the circus cast, since it's not human and never was, but is still a distinct sophont of its own right. Since their species is highly cooperative as a rule, highly religious with an emphasis that every living thing is important, have a deep fascination with nature, are quite pragmatic and artistic animals, and seem to be at least somewhat introverted, I suspect it might have these kinds of relationships with the characters: Pomni - Likely positive, though not quite sure how exactly they'd interact. Ragatha - Would likely have pleasant conversations with them, but would likely need to take breaks since Ragatha is pretty extroverted and thus could socially overwhelm them in prolonged talks. Would likely be curious about Ragatha's farm animals and talk about it's own domesticated fauna back home. Jax - Would absoluely despise Jax due to how little regard they have for others and their jerkish attitude, plus Jax would likely try to punt the Thalassic Graverdigger as the bird is just around 2 feet tall. Zooble - Would likely enjoy being around them since they spend most of their time just quietly hanging out and not participating in Caine's adventures, plus absolutely disliking Jax would be something the two would absolutely find common ground on. Probably curious about their tattoo art and might talk about similar art their daydreamer neighbors would do. Gangle - Likely enjoys her company as well, and the two especially would likely bond over doing artwork. Gangle would likely introduce them to anime and after the inital weirdness the bird might come to like it a lot. Kinger - Probably cautious around him at first due to his generally wacky attitude making him come off as unpredictable, though the trusting nature of other circus members would likely help them somewhat relax around him. Would absolutely love to talk with a lucid Kinger about philosophical topics if the two offically met. Caine - Absolutely fears this thing, seeing it as some unnatural thing that seems in control of everything around here, including how they made it suddenly understand and speak an entierly alien language to it. Plus Caine's lack of regard for it as a distinct species and just calling them a human would get on its nerves REALLY quick.

Hope y'all enjoy this general idea I had thought of, might sketch more of it at some point but I wanted to show this off since I don't think many people have considered how the cast might interact with sophont beings who AREN'T human OR A.I. Also here's a piece of the Thalassic Gravedigger having a conversation with Annabelle from the TADC story Ctrl+C made by @thwarp! Really big fan of that story, and I sort of wonder how the two might interact since Annabelle is pretty different from Ragatha but also similar to her in some ways.

Sorry for the late date. I had a busy week and this next one will also be quite busy.

Now about the artwork. For motives, I saw NazRigar post two renditions of this meme and I went "Maybe I should join this art trend too." Second, originally the species featured were supposed to be somewhat to scale but the miscalculation on my part made it impossible.

One last thing, originally Conquest was supposed to be a Continental Leucrocotta, but then I realised there's a Daydreamer subspecies that's called Warmongers... whose look is quite threatening... and that one part of their culture was ritual scarring... and one prominent individual was BLIND ON ONE EYE... The're were to many paralers to ignore.

And without any further ado, let's go to the characters:

Thragg with the skull of Argall - Steppe Sylvanspark of the male protector form, holding the skull of Fork-tailed Babbling Jay - the first sophont of Serina

Thula - Thalassic Gravedigger

Anissa - Reaper, a sapient subspecies of Aukvulture

Conquest - Daydreamer whaler

Lucan - Woodcrafter

Kregg - Woolly Wumpo

A viltrumite woman - Whisperwing
