Anon, i say this as lovingly as possible i swear, but u are a fool to ask me to unleash my Solis autism ( i thank you for it so much but you're gonna get hit with a literal lore bible's worth of world building ) .
. . . I don't draw it too often purely out of shyness, I've backed out on so many loose comics. But I'm trying to be better about it. Regardless, the original Solis lore bible is 25 pages ( currently on major revision 4 ) , and is incomplete. But in game and story terms for sake of ease, there are :
1 major NPC with story relevance
2 major NPCs with background relevance
3.5 organizations ( .5 bc one of them is my partner's OC's, which isn't as fleshed out iirc )
8 mavericks ( which I believe 6 out of 8 have developed histories )
Solis + his desperation form
Elaborated on political structures
Reploid specific districts and how they function in a human based society ( for ease, I'll just call it Apollos City )
Characters that aren't mine but still very story relevant : 3
Touches upon themes of : what happens when an oppressed class gets so angry at injustices that they decide that going the peaceful route is no longer an option ? ESPECIALLY given the severity of the abuses put forth, while also REFLECTING back those same abuses on not only humans, but reploids too ( it's Solis. Solis, you are my baby boy, but wow he is genuinely not a good person reploid )
Also reploid indentured servitude that reflects coping with it by : becoming reclusive and closed off as a caged bird, or through learned helplessness by fully embracing it as the only option you have at your disposal as the sacrificial lamb, bc you were commissioned for one purpose and are fully deluded in that cause ( Solis antics yet again, he's Genuinely not a good guy in places, despite wanting the best for reploidkind ) .
How mental illness can be so self-destructive when not treated with adequate care, not to say it's the cause of things, but man. ( Solis. And his older sister / prototype Cat's Eye, they both reflect these aspects in opposite spectrums. But mostly, it's just Solis who's genuinely angry to the point of irrational desperation, bc he knows he never should have existed and tried to off himself, his creators, and any prototype like him bc his existence conflicted with the third rule of robotics as a premise. )
Admittedly it is going through it's 4th major rewrite to be more cohesive, so a lot of aspects may be grazed over — but, I was literally writing the political structure in a societal caste in this AU and I —
I'm sorry dawg I am a yapper supreme who researches mental illness,religion, socio-political aspects in depth, how historical oppressions have shaped how we view other people / our biases, and how learned helplessness fueled with the cultish antics of angry echo chambers can lead to some very messed up things.
