#college of statics

Also while I'm thinking about it, before I forget: the three asuran personal story inventions and the three colleges and the fact they actually kind of mirror one another a bit pretty well.

So the three colleges, as we all know, are Synergetics (the "what if" college), Dynamics (the "YOLO" college), and Statics (the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" college).

The three inventions are, in order, the Infinity Ball, the Transatmospheric Converter, and the VAL-A golem.

Looking at each one, they slot in really well with the core tenets of one of the colleges per invention, and I swear I'm not just Pepe Silvia-ing my way through this-

Anyway.

Starting with the Infinity Ball. This strange contraption allows its user to peek into the mists to see other realities, potential futures, and all sorts of other things (it can also tear holes in reality). This ties in neatly with Synergetics. Defined by Word of God as being basically nuclear engineering, Synergetics students are known for speculative science more than anything else. The what ifs, the great mysteries. Blending asuran science and philosophy. And what better gizmo to test such theories than something that lets you view hundreds of outcomes?

Next is the Transatmospheric Converter. This device was intended to control the weather, with the player character specifically making this comment regarding it: "It was pretty rough, but it worked…mostly." Considering the proclivity of the College of Dynamics, described by Word of God as being best compared to chemical engineering students, to seek answers to questions no one's even asking, and their tendency towards highly unstable inventions that may or may not work as intended, this sort of thing falls directly within their purview.

And finally, the VAL-A Golem. Simple, practical. Designed entirely to focus on menial tasks like cooking, cleaning, organization, and more so that the user could focus on their scholarly pursuits, it was a simple but effective creation. Which takes us to the College of Statics, considered similar to civil engineers by Word of God. Tending towards the practical, improving on systems that exist and already work, is the bread and butter of the Statics student, and so a device that serves a practical purpose and allows its user to focus their attention elsewhere? Exactly the sort of thing you'd see from them.

It's fun to roll around, really.

Prompt 164

“Dude, of course you’re having rage moments, have you like, ever gone back to the Zone after you got revived? Or at least like, found a familiar to take the edge off all that excess ecto of yours?” 

“... what.” 

“I’ll take that as a no, come on. My Dad can open a portal and we can find you a friend if you’re gonna’ insist on being in the living world!” 

“Wait a fucking minute- what the fuck-”

I get nervous when I get my blood drawn, so this time I decided to brainstorm some affirmations with the phlebotomist, as a bit. I came up with the following:

"I am so full of blood"

and

"Draculas love me"

then the needle went in and I woke up on the floor

saw one (1) post about star wars series' art styles n how the clone wars style has been used a lot lately n veriety n stuff and suddenly im filled with the urge to pull out, dust off, and get going on my old 3d modeling skills to see if i could make something with a fun style to it (i promise nothing)

Sometimes a warmup drawing is a bunch of circles

Sometimes it's some simple poses
