We had the honor of designing a human-turned-Sentient character for @charchop! It was incredibly fun for us to put on our character design cap for this; we're so happy with how she turned out :D

If you'd like to check out more details on this commission, our VGen page is live at vgen.co/leolithe. We're steadily building up our portfolio!

so, my understanding is this:

Sentients, originally, are like Hunhow. Bighuge space ships that have a consciousness

these Sentients each have their Hive. A Hive is the smaller units each Sentient "spawns" on its own. Hive units are like cells being automatically reproduced, and serve like extremities do - the bighuge Sentient can do stuff without them but it's the equivalent of opening a door by bumping it with your shoulder instead of using your hand to twist the handle

Sentients can have Children. Children are not Hive. Children require (at least) two bighuge Sentients to conceive as "parents". Children are born from the "manifold", which is either a name for a part of the bighuge Sentient or some kind of special birthing... nest? den? location.

Natah is a Child. Erra is a Child. Adis is a Child.

Children do not seem to need Bloom to remain individuals - they can still consume it, but are not dependent on it. Putting both Natah and Adis aside for a moment, Erra seemed to remain an independent individual until his "death". He even superseded a "need for orders" by rebelling against Ballas.

Hive units only stay individuals as long as they consume Blooms. Blooms seem to have an addictive effect. Without them, units revert to becoming part of the Hive mind - which seems dead and/or dreaming (very Cthulhu) of the Old War; so, they go "mad" if they are Bloomless

or do they? Brysko referred to it as a "Bloom habit". Meaning not having a "habit" is possible? Are there active bighuge Sentients whose Hive mind does not drive units crazy? Are there alternatives to Bloom to retain individuality? Are these alternatives the ones used by Sentient Children?

I'm absolutely *obsessed* by the new announced Warframe Tau content. Seriously!

So for whatever reason I wanted to create a Sentient OC.

Their name is Nerai, they are a Tau-born Sentient who's profession is the repair Sentient bodies and cores, also called a lattice mender. They maintain a small clandestine clinic in one of Fornax’s poorer districts, treating laborers, addicts, damaged constructs, and anyone capable of paying in components, favors, information.

SENTIENT LANGUAGE IS MUSIC. I KNEW IT. SENTIENT LANGUAGE IS MUSIC. LISTEN. LISTEN TO ME!! OH MY GOD..!! AHHHHHH SENTIENT LANGUAGE... IS MUSIC..!! SHE'S PLAYING IT LIKE A FUCKING HARP!!

NO, HEY- DON'T DRAG ME AWAY-!

They were created to terraform Tau, and as a preventive measure, Perintol added a designed flaw: the Void hurts them... Lore-wise we know they become "barren" [Lotus] when they were exposed to the Void in their travel back to the Origin system.

Recently, in Jade-2 quest, we learnt via design that a sentient core is a "void spark". So, Void is the sentients creatures' essence. This makes sense and explains a lot about those attack of the sentients we find along the game: blue teal beams or powers with "sentient" status that work similar to Void status. Caliban is holding his 2 parts with small balls of glowing blue-teal power. Revenant has this green-teal colour that comes from eidolon energy [fallen sentient], which always reminds you to the Void powers of the operator in other scenes. Natah holding her fragmented body looks similar to the bits of Voids that keep Xaku in one piece. Every time you see Void, you also can see it in the sentients' powers or their design [Adis' arms, for example]. This discovery retroactively adds a clear meaning to previous design choices.

But my main issue is that if the core essence of a creature is made of an energy which hurts them... why they even exist? By design a sentient should be hurting constantly, as Void energy comes from their inside, damaging them. They should be always "barren" at least, yet we know they were not, as Hunhow had his kids.

Crinoids..........

Anyway, a Crooner is a type of singer who performs with a smooth, intimate style that originated in the 1920s. Said style was made possible thanks to improved microphones, which picked up quieter sounds and a larger array of frequencies than before, which allowed the singer to access a greater dynamic range, and allowed singers to exploit the proximity effect.

Either way, i would still see nothing wrong with depicting her as a sex worker, and calling her a hooker is distateful, and i think the person who called her such should be ashamed.

And yes. I am vauge posting, no i will not give out names.
