Discuss/compile OC lore and such
I think the long standing threads on this site do a service to these things since they don't just disappear after half a day
Lots of lost greens out there sadly
So to make it clear just in case some shithead tries to start shit. This isn't a thresd where all OC content must go and is only allowed to be posted in, right?

Jane worst nightmare: getting cucked by a femanon
Purchase Mini-E and you’ll get her WD variant as a bonus
Suppose I should post this here.
eventually i’m gonna turn this guy into an OC but i dunno what i’d call him besides just “doctor drone”, he needs a name tho
>>441
My silly suggestion would be to go for a tongue-in-cheek name like "Doctor Norton", "Doctor McAffe", or "Doctor Kaspersky"
The '''joke''' being that they are all names of popular antivirus companies
>Cthulanon
>Poor regular person (or interdimensional being) the Oogis have taken to worshiping as a dark elder being
>May actually just be some Wage cuck loser who spends all day playing garbage multiplayer games
>Sees the Oogis as mildly annoying but mostly sweet in their antics and accepts their calls for an "audience" (mostly Enn sacrifices they then give to their V-Cat)
>Most requests the Oogis make are tools, riches, or help with rival Oogi tribes who are trying to take their Bugretta
>Oogis fear and respect Cthulanon, and come to see some of Cthulanons actions as "dark" or "mysterious" really She/He is just bored or annoyed slightly
>Oogis have regretted some transactions in the past, seeing it as consequence for their "Dark ravenous Greed", like when Cthulanon put Bugretta in a shoebox for 5 minutes of "timeout". A dark day for Oogi kind
>Cthulanon has given Oogis many tools, such as shields (makeshift pringle caps) and swords (paper clips) making them quite victorious in many battles
>Oogis know of Cthulanons V-Cat and avoid its terrible wraith, the V-Cat enjoys the extra snacks when Cthulanon isnt looking and the many Enn it has brought
Might as well post this and other future OC stuff here as well.
Reposting my E facts written for Smileanon
>As I’ve stated previously, the original concept of SD-E was for her to be a foil to J, contrasting her bossy and rude attitude to E’s more sweetheart and lighthearted nature.
>Unlike in the threads, E actually was part of an all-female squad of DDs sent to eradicate the Hydroxygen-2 WD outposts. Her other two teammates were SD-S(arge) and SD-O(phelia), a tryhard leader and a bookworm respectively. They seem to have gone missing at some point however…
>E’s hat both serves as a fashion style and as a magnetized scrambler that keeps her simple-minded, E herself doesn’t really take the hat off all that much….it keeps the bad thoughts and….her….out of her CPU.
>E’s clung onto the thought of a boss that she wants to appease in order to feel like she has meaning, a remnant of her past desire as a maid drone, to feel like she mattered to someone if she did good.
>It would be pretty obvious to say that E HATES anything to do with the Solver, that includes Cyn as well. If she wasn’t so afraid of what would happen to her afterwards, she’d kill Cyn the first chance she gets.
>E’s prone to…outbursts and losing her mind when her hat is removed for a substantial length of time, claiming that she could see HER out of the corner of her optics.

SD-AC:
>Mark 4 Disassembly Drone. Smug brat. Knows he's a high-class weapon and flaunts it.
>His catchphrase is "You're welcome, by the way", whenever he does something even slightly positive for someone. He gets upset/flustered if he's thanked before he can say it.
>Possessive with things he likes, which there aren't many of. Refuses to share and will exhibit downright yandere tendencies at times.
>More caring than he lets on, but has a bad poker face. His defenses melt completely at affection: wrap an arm around him and brush his hair, and watch him turn into a love-drunk cuddlebug.
>He wears an open leather duster, his hair is slightly longer than shoulder-length. Standard white/yellow DD hair/eye colors.
>Was one of the DDs sent to clear the planet's weather control stations after they were compromised. The operation destroyed them completely and doomed the planet, and he blames himself for it.
>A good fighter, but poorly trained. Relies on his weapon systems and speed. Would be downright scary if he actually knew how to fight.
>Apocalyptic head game. You will never be able to masturbate again, the memory of his tongue milking everything out of you will eclipse nearly all other sexual pleasure. Total sub when not using his mouth, extremely dominant when he is.
SD-CD:
>Mark 3 Disassembly Drone. Batshit insane.
>Almost always sporting the Vickers Grin. Her love for bloodshed reaches near-sexual levels. Cares little for anything else, having no reason to.
>Her hair reaches down to her hips and shows no signs of grooming, and she wears a white raincoat with tally marks painted on it with oil, one for each kill. It's almost totally covered.
>She fought for a warlord during the resource wars, and survived the DD executions after they "outlived their usefulness". She became addicted to the high her systems gave her every time she killed something.
>She finds her existence pathetic and wants to get it over with, wishing she could find more to life than endless bloodshed. She sees the world as dull and grey, aside from the jolts from a successful murder.
>An extremely capable fighter with years of experience. Has never won a fight without being hurt, solely because she lets her opponents hit her to make it more "fun".
>She knows what sex is and doesn't care about it. Will chew your dick into hamburger and make fun of you while you bleed out.
Anon (Trucker Forme):
>The zero of the story.
>Being the reader self-insert, he's nondescript appearance-wise. Wears a closed utility jacket, jeans, and a faded trucker hat. A sneaky bulletproof vest under the jacket has saved his life several times.
>Ex-economist for a company that pulled out when the planet started dying. Spent a year as a slave, and escaped during a failed revolt by hijacking a cargo truck. Got his start as a trader by selling what he stole.
>A shrewd businessman with his own brand of charm. Knows how to say the right things to the right people. He also has an unnatural streak of luck.
>Capable in a fight, but still very human and unable to contend with DDs. Prefers smaller, more precise weapons, but has at least one big gun when the situation calls for it.
>He's (You), so you can't really fuck him. Dick confirmed "nice" by AC.

>Labor Bots are dirt-cheap sentient CNC machines that are somehow more disposable than Worker Drones
>Labor Bots are managed by Worker Drone overseers
>Overseers are inspected and managed by higher-up Worker Drone inspectors (Basically J's but on corpo-crack). Humans never set foot down in the production line

This post itself doesn't make much sense without the greens, which I forgot to post.

Question about Izz. What’s her personality like? Is she a femcel like Uzi? An anime fan too? Does she make N binge watch with her?
>>5963
She's quite literally just a drawing of femanon, so they probably have the same personality. i.e. rocks in N's stomach
>>5967
well, i wanna be clear, she’s not meant to be LITERALLY me but rather like, a self-insert character, a cartoon version of me i guess, me if i was a liam vickers character
izz is to me what jesus is to god
>>5963
more like tessa (the real one) personality-wise
high-strung, overly polite, affectionate, introverted and awkward
not mean and brazen like uzi, but they’d prolly be good buddies, if uzi was cool with her
>An anime fan too?
rather, nintendo games
instead of making N binge watch anime with her, she’d be dragging him into playing pikmin 3 multiplayer all ni— …actually, not all night, she’s a stickler when it comes to routine and schedule

The first post I made about The Archiver didn't really explain anything beyond her backstory and role.
So I thought I may as well make a little bio for her like I did for Elf.
The Archiver - Labor bot (Pic drawn by Eanon)
>The oldest living Labor bot
>Suffered a malfunction while on the line that caused her legs to stop working. Now she is stuck at the charging station as a cripple
>Her hard-memory is much larger than normal due to deleting all her work related information
>At the end of every shift all the returning Labor bots approach her and discuss all the things they have stored in their temp-memory
>She writes and keeps many lorebooks full of information she has learned
>She gets Labor bots to steal paper and writing utensils from the overseers
>"The Archiver" is not her actual name. No one knows her name. All the Labor bots just refer to her as their big sister
>The Labor bots really look up to The Archiver, usually dedicating some of their limited hard-memory to remembering her
>The Archiver sees the Labor bots as her family and feels a duty to help and protect them as much as possible. Though there isn't much she can really do
>She gets very upset when a Labor bot dies or is disposed of
>She records an entry in her lorebooks for every Labor bot so that they are never forgotten
>She also records an entry for every overseer and their actions. Some are much worse than others
>She knows very little of what goes on beyond the production lines. Only bits and pieces of information that come from the overseers. She desperately wants to learn more
>Though, based on the number of overseers that end up getting disposed of, she does know that Worker drones are equally as disposable as Labor bots

After posting this I thought about expanding on it a little bit by making a character.
>Massive weeb drone
>Only eats the drone equivalent of sushi
>She wears a fedora and trenchcoat, and always carries her katana
>Dyed her hair some bright colour, maybe pink
>Her lights/eyes are red but she has drone heterochromia
>One of her eyes is Solver yellow due to her jailbreaking her own OS to change her eye colour
>She claims that she has the soul of a dissembler trapped inside her, and that she is in a constant battle to prevent it from breaking free and massacring the outpost
>Claims that she is only capable of using 10% of her power because the other 90% is busy containing the DD soul
>Extremely chuuni about this, says shit like "The Disassembler inside of me hungers!", "Careful about showing any fresh oil to me... The Disassembler may make me lose control..." and other cringy stuff like she's a werewolf or something
>Everyone avoids her
>She thinks this is because they are afraid of her, but in actuality they think she is bueno
But then stepping back, I realized that I had just made fucking Uzi.

I know T was given to the threads because his creator had a public mental breakdown every 5 seconds, and Berettafag abandoned the threads all together.
But what's the story behind JC and SD-T being "given"?
>>10561
>NTA
I don't remember having a mental breakdown every five seconds. What I do remember is having an extremely bad day and venting, but no where near Danon level
>>10561
JC was given to the threads because the creator simply couldn't figure out how to properly write him so he was hoping other Anons would. As for SD-Tepes, he was given to the threads for the same reason but he goes way further back in the timeline, he also never had a greentext of his own it was just a throw away idea

nta, I think it was because he burned out, he genuinely got tired of the threads, nothing specific just coming most days I guess you kind of get bored of it, and he did have a little breakdown in which he apologized, I think not sure, and I guess that drive him off a little, I think he once came back, and with some talking we just know he is just living his life, barely lurking, but I could be confusing him with other anon, since, anonymous place, it is kind of hard to identify people
Can someone give me a QRD on the different femanons’ characters?
Replies:>>10916

Which one? We have, presumably 2 femanons, the one who did femdrone and THE femanon
>>10916
I thought you misstyped "femanon's".
THE femanon has Izzy, a human in a AU where drones live alongside humans, even DDs, she has an N unit which she loves and does some pretty weird and sometimes messed up things
Then we have femdrone, a smelly, not as much as Uzi, drone which loves to tinker with drones but specially N, and she normally tinkers him in a sexual way, different anatomy adapters and everything else of that matter

She feeds him rocks sometimes, maybe sometimes cuts him a little, but sometimes she just cuddles him and loves him like you would love a significant other, I'm going off memory here, don't expect me being a walking wiki, sadly... And she tinkers his anatomy adapter, bigger dick, tentacle one, maybe making a bigger N, sometimes getting herself sexually assaulted
You can search for the appearance of both in the booru
>>10674
wassup, i can explain izz to ya since its mine, femdrone belongs to the other femanon
this anon >>10920 described the premise well, izz exists in an AU where drones live alongside humans - she saved up her wagie money to get an N to be her companion, and they live a humble domestic life together
im actually working on a greentext about when they first met

“izzy” is fine too, dw :]
Just like how Worker Drones have the Absolute Solver to contend with as their monster, the Labor Bots have their entity to weepy about, not as world-endingly deadly, but still pretty dangerous.
>Virus J0y, the titular threat to the Labor Bots. This deranged and mocking virus takes pleasure in infecting the Laborers and watching them brick themselves, seeing their suffering as entertainment. She has no quarrel with humans, but she finds their reactions to destroying their Laborers funny. For every day that J0y goes unchecked, the more her infectious and mutating effects continue to grow.
>Watt-digos, one of many branching viral mutations that can result from a Labor Bot unfortunately surviving their infection and mutating further, resulting in them discarding their metal shells and their systems degrading to a base predatory code to becoming tall and gangly creatures that will cannibalize any Laborer they find for their electronics in order to continue their existence.
>Abysses, another mutation of J0y’s victims that instead turns them mostly oil, feminine looking creatures that inhabit large puddles of oil. Extremely lethal at close range if they manage to grab a Labor Bot and drag them into the oil puddle and down under, never to be seen again. Their oil puddles act as quicksand if a victim steps on it, drawing their attention right away once movement is detected.

I was actually just scraping through my way-too-long backlog of threads when I came across your older/original posts about this AU. Figured I'd share the cap now rather than hang onto it until the eventual booru upload
Intense writing/drawing desire that makes me want to put B/H/L through the same stuff N and V went through in the finale (I've long accepted they're not canon-compliant, I just want to learn what story I can write within the setting with my fan characters). The character tragedy is just *sublime* that I need to figure out how to dole out the same thing to BHL. I'm like, maybe 1/100000ths of the way there with their previous stories but episode 8 was just fan-fucking-tastic.
>>29162
Entirely non-canon compliant. Cyn is the puppet and the Solver is the true 'soul' of the character. Even if the Solver seems to have been made docile under Uzi's control, that doesn't mean it's any less dangerous. It just makes Uzi a ticking time bomb, any time she loses grip on her confidence/lets fear get a hold on her, the Solver may wrestle back control. She's a permanently damaged character, almost like how the Left Hand parasites render all female hosts infertile. (Might impact Uzi and N's ability to have any kids of their own though this is fan-canon territory so just have fun, I guess.)
As for how it translates to Beretta and Negev, I think >for Beretta
Auntie Cyn could just be a piece of memory N had of Cyn where the Solver is still just figuring things out and is not outright malicious *yet*. The Cyn that's trying to learn of its new environment and its inhabitants after Tessa brought her back and fixed her up to some extent, the Cyn that N said was 'cool' in episode 5. It's not the Solver, just part of N's memory code somewhat entangled with Beretta's inherited Solver, that slowly manifested as an imaginary friend since Beretta just SUCKS at making normal friends. (Just like me!)
>for Negev
Her being insane because she's able to sense/see the Solver's true presence in Uzi, I think is a neat direction. I'm on the fence on whether Negev should have any Solver powers herself (not sure yet if Negev has been formally 'made', since last I remember, anons were still playing around with ideas). If she does, maybe she'd be extremely afraid of it because she doesn't have someone like Nori telling her to not be a lil bitch, yet. Depends on her future stories. My personal interest is that I want them to contrast each other initially but I don't want them to be hateful siblings out to kill each other.

I REALLY like this idea!
>>29445
My thought was just a curious entity slowly learning, before its hunger has taken control of its instincts and the Solver's just figuring out humans and the world through observations while hanging out with N/V/J and Tessa. It's as alien to us as the Elder Evils are in D&D where their harm comes from their alien understanding of things in the current universe and them just warping things by merely existing on the material plane.
Once the Solver's hunger manifested, things went to shit. 'Cuz y'know, there's no sating the appetite of an Eldritch monster. But before that, there may have been a curious creature piloting a drone corpse that was sort of chill with N, or found him amusing for some time. This Cyn is what I'm referring to as Auntie Cyn.

Just saw this from the frontpage. I sort of had the same thoughts as you since I was seeing so many OC’s get fleshed out and felt like I was missing out.
Unlike you I just made so that my characters were far removed enough from canon that I wouldn’t have to worry about them being “canon-complaint”.

MANIPULATOR DRONES //AKA trying to turn an inherently 'Donut Steel' idea into a (relatively) canon-compliant concept//
-
SUMMARY
//"What if there was a Disassembly Drone that could use Solver Magic?"//
A 'Manipulator Drone' is an enhanced variant of the common 'Disassembly Drone', serving as both specialized agents & lieutenants/"middle managers" in The Solver's space-spanning war. Rather than relying on conjuring up weapons, Manipulator Drones instead cast (restricted) Solver Magic and possess many of the abilities inherent to typical Solver Hosts (Teleportation, Deflection, ect). As a consequence of this increased level of importance/freedom, Manipulator Drones are also designed with a number of additional fail-safes & "security" features to ensure they remain in line.
HISTORY
The first batch of Manipulator Drones were created by Cyn shortly after the war on Earth kicked off. These Manipulators were mainly tasked with completing any mission(s) deemed too important or "delicate" for Disassembly Drones to accomplish by themselves. It was only when Earth was consumed & The Solver War took to space that Manipulator Drones began to shift towards a more broad 'Command & Control' role. As the scale of the war intensified additional Manipulator Drones were gradually produced (primarily using Solver Witches assimilated by Cyn), with their active numbers growing from just a handful to a couple dozen by 3071.
ROLE
Manipulator Drones are typically assigned a number of lesser ranking Solver Slaves (Disassembly Drones, Solver Cultists, ect) to serve as their designated minions. Unless a Manipulator's physical presence is absolutely required they will more often than not rely on remotely coordinating their underlings from a safe distance. In the event that they are required to actively assist or engage directly the Manipulator acts akin to a highly potent backline caster, using their minions as everything from fodder to food/fuel in pursuit of victory.
//From a meta-narrative perspective Manipulator Drones are intended to be archetypal "Villain of the Week" characters, particularly in 'Solver War' or 'Post Canon' settings//

One thing I should mention about Switch. Since she's technically not patched, the anomalous material embedded in her core doesn't fully protect her. The Solver can't take direct control of her but it can fuck with her mind from time to time by inducing hallucinations or slipping intrusive thoughts into her mind. While she's learned to ignore the most obvious ones, once she's emotionally disturbed by atrong negative emotion is when her mind becomes more vulnerable meaning the Solver scrapes her mind to a deeper degree which leads to more intense hallucinations or even briefs dissociation with reality until she calms down. Parts of her personality may have been corrupted by the Solver mostly intensifying her more violent and sadistic side "for fun".

>It’s not like you hadn’t attended a gala in the past; it was expected, encouraged, even, as a way for the wealthy to interact with fellow elites.
>Most of the time you stood back to let your parents do all the talking, preferring to be in a corner alongside other rich social outcasts.
>This time you were alone, given a task so daunting that you considered turning back now without fear of whatever harsh punishment awaited you back home.
>Or at least you would have, had they not threatened to discard the drones back at home.
>You could deal with whatever happened to you, but getting any of the drones, or god-forbid, Lily and Juliette disassembled made you reconsider any sort of rebellion against your parents

“Umm. It’s A-Anon.”

“Welcome to the Elliott manor, Anon. We hope you enjoy this evening’s entertainment!
>Well shit, that was faster than expected. The Elliotts reputation of being the best wasn’t unfounded after all.

Finally got back around to this
LIMBS
The biggest (visible) differences between Disassembly Drones and Manipulator Drones can be found in their arms, wings & tail; Each have been extensively modified to accommodate the Manipulator's intended function as dedicated "Solver-Magic Casters". While the Manipulators themselves prefer to tout these changes as being full-on upgrades over their Disassembler counterparts, the reality is that these "upgrades" come with numerous concessions (and even downright impairments) that all but requires them to rely on their underlings to ensure maximum effectiveness in any given scenario, combat or otherwise.
//Functionally speaking, both the in-story AND meta-narrative purpose for these changes (outside of better fitting the "Solver Witch" archetype) is to remain true to the canon notion that The Solver nerfs/neuters it's "pets" as a form of maintaining uncontested control. Aesthetically speaking, the intended design direction of Manipulator Drones is meant to put them within an uncanny middle ground between the surface-level mechanical anatomy of Disassemblers & the overtly Eldritch-organic anatomy of Solver Drones.//
>Solution Stabilizer
//Essentially an Eldritch amalgamation of the Gravity/Physics Gun, Tau Cannon & Hivehand from Half-Life//
Replaces the typical Armament Assembler seen on Disassembly Drones
[+]Allows the Manipulator to freely* cast Solver Magic (*some restrictions & Solver-induced damage/mutations may apply)
[+]Allows the Manipulator to both channel standard Solver 'functions' & chain them together to perform complex "spells"
[-]Cannot do ANYTHING beyond casting Solver Magic (No guns, no swords & certainly no ninja stars)
[-]Leaves the Manipulator with AT BEST only a crude way to physically interact with objects (can be mitigated with auxiliary limbs)
[-]Nearly useless when facing another Host in direct combat (Claws are relatively sharp & grip strength is marginally above the WD average, yet both are too hindered by poor maneuverability to be a credible threat)
>Relay Wings
//Meant to look like a menacing cape at first glance; Their highly increased fragility & overtly visceral appearance is a direct nod to them having a more explicit "Bird of Hermes" deal going on.//
Dual functions as both a means of flight & as a way to command and/or control their minions
[+]Allows for long range & simultaneous communication with numerous minions; range becomes functionally unlimited with 'paired' minions
[+]Fast acceleration, combined with six degrees of freedom in-flight, allows for exceptional short-range maneuverability
[-]Maximum flight speed is only a fraction of the speed Disassembly Drones can achieve (can be somewhat mitigated with teleportation)
[-]Practically ineffective for offense and/or defense; EXTREMELY vulnerable to damage (particularly the melee attacks of other Hosts)
[-]Damage/destruction WILL (at least temporarily) sever the connection to minions, creating windows of disorganization/confusion amongst lesser Solver Slaves
>Aux Tail
//An appropriate tool for any wannabe Manipulator to violently (and more importantly, quickly) brute-force into the body, mind & perhaps even soul of their victim(s)//
An insulated (slightly thicker) tail filled with fiber-optics & tipped off with a sharp "jack" for invasive hacking
[+]Allows a Manipulator to directly access, interface & potentially even hijack/mind control their target
[+]Can secrete a moderate amount of Solver Stuff, capable of numerous things (induce mutations, drug and/or poison, 'pair' a Manipulator to it's target, ect)
[-]Any sort of "deep dive" hacking requires a Manipulator's total concentration, leaving their physical body vulnerable to outside interference
[-]Presence of concentrated fiber-optics makes damaging/severing the tail a MUCH more painful experience
[-]Connections are inherently two-way, meaning a sufficiently strong willed target can potentially resist (or even counter-hack!) the Manipulator
Manipulator Drones also possess numerous auxiliary limbs typically seen in other Hosts to help offset their otherwise sharp loss of utility. While certainly better than nothing & more than capable of turning the tide in a pinch (especially against less savvy opponents) these limbs lack both the overwhelming numbers and supernatural durability necessary to be considered a true 'threat'.
ABILITIES
On top of those seen amongst 'normal' Solver Witches, Manipulator Drones possess a number of unique abilities as well. Although many of these can naturally be considered 'universal', the innately individualistic nature of each particular Manipulator means that some may in practice see further enhancement & iteration of certain abilities; Contrariwise a number of abilities may be underutilized, underdeveloped or even entirely absent from the arsenal of particular Manipulators. For brevity's sake the ones listed below can be considered "universally shared" in some capacity
>Diffusion Discharge
A blast of concentrated Solver Shenanigans fired from their "palm" that breaks down whatever it hits into either base elements or an organic slurry (depending on whether target is a Host)
[+]Will cause damage to whatever it comes into contact with, making it the ONLY viable ranged attack most Manipulators have against opposing Solver Hosts (must be blind-fired when used against Hosts)
[-]EXTREMELY ENERGY INEFFICIENT; Repeated & careless short-term use can rapidly result in both catastrophic damage AND runaway mutation
>Solver Sickness Aura
A "natural" byproduct of their Relay Wings that can passively afflict sentient lifeforms in their vicinity
[+]Entities already suffering from later stages of Solver Sickness are rendered much more susceptible to direct mental manipulation
[-]Requires substantial or repeated exposure to progress symptoms; Negligible effect on those suffering earlier stages of Solver Sickness, no effect on those strong-willed enough to resist
>Rabid Consumption
Unfurls an Eldritch "Nightmare Proboscis" from within their mouth, slurping out the innards of their target (be it friend or foe) to quickly "cool down" from Solver overuse
[+]Can rapidly mitigate any damage/mutation caused by extensive Solver overuse; Can also help temporarily 'supercharge' a Manipulator's standard array of abilities
[-]Carries a risk of temporarily inducing a "feral feeding frenzy" state that becomes exponentially worse the more it consumes within a short time frame
Gonna try for at least one more soon™
