repent, harlequin

Wanting to give Setsu alternate forms like Yuri has, but they are so ironclad about not wanting to be seen as either a man or a woman that it didn't feel right. Instead I guess the three genders are "pan (default)", "leji matsumoto character", and "bounty hunter".

Swordtember: "Fossil"

A fossil of a giant salamander was found in Öhningen, Germany. The naturalist who made the discovery believed it to be the spine and pelvis of a diminutive early human, perhaps a child; thus he named them Homo diluvii testis, or "man, witness of the Flood".

Swordtember: "Bell"

CRAVENLY DRAG YOURSELF FROM THE WATERS OF YOUR BIRTH,

YET THE WAVES WILL ALWAYS DRAG YOU BACK WHERE YOU BELONG.

PRAY THAT THE FRAGILE ARMOR YOU'VE WOVEN WILL NOT FAIL

AND RING THE BELL OF YOUR OWN DEMISE.

ALTERED HUMAN: DESIS

---

(This is the most diverted-from-the-theme yet, but taking the opportunity to do some design for a tokusatsu-insp project i've had sitting around. Explanation: The character was initially based on diving bell spiders, and spiders in the genus Desis have very similar behaviours in terms of living and hunting for prey underwater, and storing air in a silk bubble. While it WOULD be extremely true to the genre (see: ryuki's kamen rider femme) to have a heroine titled "belle", "desis" works better for various reasons that are irrelevant right now.)

Swordtember: "Scale"

In the middle of a dried-out lake (or so it was at the time), there was a statue of a giant. The stone plates balanced on its dual blades were each large enough for a grown person to stand atop them, and back then they were hopelessly crooked. The plinth beneath the giant read: ONLY A TRUE MONARCH MAY BALANCE THE SCALES.

Many people took up the challenge over the years: Good men, arrogant men, both the ambitious and the innocently-curious. None could make the statue budge even an inch. One day a king arrived with his hunting party, and he ordered his retinue to lift him onto one of the plates.

Miraculously, the uneven stone blades began to move. As the king's side began to reach equilibrium, the empty plate on the other side began to fill -- slowly at first, and then with unnatural volume and speed -- with bright red blood.

Swordtember: "Automaton"

The king's paranoia only became worse when the royal children were born. He insisted they learn to defend themselves, but couldn't find a single swordsman he could trust to leave alone with the children -- an armed person! a hostile stranger! perhaps even a spy! Thus he commissioned a machine to act as both teacher and bodyguard. But the king soon mistrusted the new fencing-master as well, and (after a certain incident) ordered that most of its combat protocols be restrained to the point of uselessness, until it was finally dismantled.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

When you click the first link gemini.google.com/extensions, you need to click on the setting icon at the bottom, then choose "Extension", like this:

Scroll down a bit, you will see the options, turn them all off.

Then, you click on the second link myactivity.google.com/product/gemini, you'll see it tells you that it's already "turn off". NO! IT'S NOT! You have to click on that "Turn off" option, it'll drop down a menu like this:

Turn that thing off. Until that button shows you have to click to turn it back on like this:

And then, click on the delete button down there too, even if it says there's nothing to delete, just do it as a caution.

After you's done with those two. You go to your Drive, find the Setting button.

Click on the "Privacy" tab, choose the button "Manage Workspace smart feature setting"

Tick both of those off, then click Save. Or if you still want to use Google AI assistant for some reasons, please read the fine lines very very carefully.

Only then, you can feel safe enough with this force AI assistant bullshit. FOR NOW 🤡 All these steps still can't get rid of that Gemini blinkblink icon though >:(((((

if you already had your google account on the highest privacy settings possible (as i did with my main), gemini is off by default, there won't be anything in the extensions tab and you don't have to turn it off

Swordtember: 3 + 4. Cursed Relic + Divine Relic

"Among my grandfather's belongings, there were two artifacts of note: The Sword of Drowning and the Sword of the Anchor. According to his papers, the Sword of Drowning was forged in the blood of a dying god, and thereafter no amount of mortal blood would be enough to quench its thirst. The Sword of the Anchor was washed in the tears of a grieving god, and can only be wielded by one meant to end the sorrows of the world.

The problem is, for the life of me, I can't figure out which one is which."
