#homeworld cataclysm

[grayrazor]

Hey guys, I found this weird geometric object floating in space. Should I touch it?

[ideas-on-paper]

So I was watching a Let's Play of Homeworld: Cataclysm, and there's this fleet from the Fornax system.

And I was like "Wait a second..."

Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Villain: Qor'ivel, Faulted Brilliance

An extradimensional mage who sought godhood only to have his ambition literally blow up in his face, the shrapnel of this calamitous act of hubris is now scattered across the planes, just waiting to be discovered.

Being born to rule an empire was not enough for this genius mage, who bent his talents and the strength of his nation to establishing dominion across the whole of his world, and then to other worlds beyond.

As the product of generations of careful mutagenic engineering and magical enhancement, the depths of Qor'ivel's intelligence seemed to truly be fathomless. Through reason alone he seemed to be able to divine the innermost thoughts of his enemies and the outcome of future events, to say nothing of his arcane abilities. It took him only a decade to establish his rule over multiple planes, and in another five years he'd calculated a path to cement that rule through godhood that'd take just under a century.

He was wrong of course, you don't need to be a genius to know that there's more to being a god than being the most right all the time. The brilliant mechanism of Qor'ivel's mind realized that truth a fraction of a second before it ruptured like a collapsing star, distroying the world that was the seat of his empire and scattering fragments of his consciousness across the multiverse. Now Frozen in the moment of his failed apotheosis he exists as a mad titan rampaging across the cosmos, fleeting moments of lucidity drowned out by amnesic empire building or senseless cataclysmic fury.

Adventure Hooks:

Qor'ivel makes a great archvillain for a spelljammer campaign or any adventure that's going to touch on the astral sea. The ruins of his empire are a great backdrop and his mindshards can end up anywhere, influencing anyone, acting as mcguffins when needed. His changeable nature means he can serve as both scheming mastermind and looming apocalyptic threat, and the factions that want to ensure he stays one or the other make for great secondary antagonists.

Though they might be mistaken for any run of the mill sort of glowing magical crystal, the shards of Qor'ivel have a power all their own, still somewhat alive possessing fragments of the great mage's consciousness and the power it commands. They can function like any sort of magic item, though usually wands or ioun stones, though creatures that attune to them tend to start thinking and acting a lot more like the sundered sovereign, indulging in pride, power and imperial ambition. The more powerful shards possess fragmented consciousnesses of their own, and may use proxies to set up petty dynasties of their own.

Once governors, aristocrats, and magistrates of a worlds spanning empire, the remnants of the Vaqol people and their decendants found themselves in a lurch when their god-king detonated and took their homeworld with him. Many were cast out by the peoples they had subjugated, while others hid themselves away or made themselves useful to the ascendant regimes. In the present day a fraction of these remnants still hold loyalty to the faulted brilliance, or follow his example in using their magical talent to set up their own dominions.

Fragments of the Vaqol homeworld drift through the multiverse, sometimes as reefs of rubble, sometimes as wordlets, sometimes as streaking projectiles that make calamitous impact on other planes. Adventurers of all kinds can be tasked with hiring , though whether its those wishing to recover/collect ancient artifacts, or lay their hands on Qor'ivel shards is up to you.

Tcf part 2 and 1 spoilers for kim rok soo & earth 1

It just clicked for me why ppl in korea started getting abilities

So in p2 we find out that worlds are sentient (at least some of them are)

Kim rok soos world was also probably sentient considering it was registered as "earth 1"

And every world with a name so far has been able to communicate at some level

While the world cale henituse lives in isn't registered under any name and never showed any signs of sentience either (as far as we're aware. Plus the world tree said it was complete darkness when she first started existing)

For some reason the world can't communicate with the people living in it, maybe the hunters cut off that connection so that they could plant the god of despairs temple/creatures there?? And spread more despair?

So, earth 1 started giving people abilities in order to survive the attack

Maybe the deal earth 1 made (cuz it was a non-fantasy world before the cataclysm as krs states) forced it to go into hibernation

For now we know that earth 1 wasn't razed completely to the ground because krs told us society was slowly getting built back up

It'll be interesting to see krs revisit his real homeworld and not just an alternative version of it that the god of despair showed him during the tests

It also makes sense why some of the abilities are personalized and some aren't so much

The important figures received more attention from earth 1

My review about Miraculous World: Paris, Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noir

This is a (first) review about a Miraculous element (especially an episode form Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir).

This post contains spoilers.

Today, I've watched the Special Episode. I am prepared for the watching. I will reveal my aggregation in the end of the post.

And now, time to read:

Plot:

This happens in the same moment (at the night) as the episode Destruction (5.03). After Monarch has been cataclysmed at the left arm and before he configurates the stolen Miraculouses.

In a parallel world, a Butterfly superhero named Hesperia (Gabriel Agreste/Gabi Grassette) who is helped by Alya, Nino, Max and Markov, leaves his homeworld universe for escape from Shadybug (Toxinelle) and Claw Noire (Griffe Noire), two evil versions of Ladybug and Cat Noir. When the three characters come to the Ladybug and Cat Noir main universe, Hesperia teams up with the two titular heroes for make the ShadyClaw duo into good people. At the other side, the evil counterparts try to steal the Butterfly miraculous to Hesperia (and later to try to combine the Ladybug and Cat powers for make their wishes).

I've learned about news elements in the Miraculous lore by watching the Special:

They exist some billions an infinity of Parallel Worlds in the lore.

Each Parallel World is home to one Tikki and one Plagg (so One Ladybug holder and one Cat holder).

The inconvenients from the Ladybug's and Cat's powers (secondary effects)due to their excessive using. Shadybug and Claw Noire cause their own deterioration in their bodies by using their power for the evil.

The morale about the hope in dark and sad moments (Thanks, Hesperia.)

The parallel world (ShadyClaw/Hesperia's world) is a dystopian world ruled by the Supreme

Hesperia's, Shadybug's and Claw Noir's backstories

What I liked:

The Hesperia opening in the intro (that was WTF but that was fun)

The coming of Shadybug and Claw Noire, their odd relationships

The Claw Noir's lines and moments

The Kamiko (good alternate name to Akuma)

The akumatization forms: Chat Céleste (Cat Noir) and Ubiquity (first Alya and later Ladybug)

Ladyfly (Marinette with Ladybug + Butterfly unification)

The travels across multiple parallel worlds (Hi, Scarabella and Kitty Noire. Hi, Mister Bug and Ladynoire.)

The concept of Re-Verse (the idea of what would Marinette and Adrien have looked like if theirs lives had been different from the Canon)

The thing how Monarch has failed (again) to take the Ladybug and Cat Miraculouses when he travelled across parallel worlds.

What I disliked:

The lack of end post-credits scene: I would like to see what happens in the Hesperia's world after the battle (interractions between the reformed Shabybug and Claw Noire, Hesperia, Alya ans Nino about reconciliation ans reorganisation of the Resistance against the Supreme).

The absence of other Miraclass counterparts, Luka, Kagami, Félix, Zoé, Chloé and Lila/Cerise (Only Alya, Nino, Max and Markov from the class appear in the episode as parallel counterparts)

The missing full appearance of the Supreme (his/her appearance from the shadow for reveal himself/herself/themself to spectators could make the cliffhanger effect for a sequel).

What I want to know for the future:

The most intriguing point, for me, is: The Supreme (This hidden character I have just mentioned in this post)

Who is the Supreme ? Human or Deity ? Big Brother (1984, George Orwell) ? How do s/he looks like ?

All I've learned about him/her/them is:

The Supreme is an entity/being who rules the Hesperia's homeworld (possibly the Hesperia's entire universe).

S/He is a tyrant, a dictator (worst than Chloé, possibly more machiavelic and charismatic than Cerise, more dangerous than Monarch) on this Earth (or simply Paris).

S/He hates the Love, the Freedom/Liberty, the Justice, the Happiness, positive emotions and particularly the superheroes.

It's him/her/they who is THE overarching antagonist of the Paris Special (even if s/he is only mentioned many times). S/He's so more antagonistical than Monarch.

S/He makes Hesperia and the Resistance from this world (and by extension Ladybug 2 (former Shadybug) and Cat Noir 2/Paw Noir (former Claw Noir)) as Outlaws.

It's him/her/them who given the Ladybug and Cat miraculous to Emo Marinette and Emo Adrien. Ironical and Ridiculous from the Supreme !

S/He is too powerful, too surnatural and too overcheated: s/he has a great control on the Miraculous Ultimate Absolute Power. S/He has implanted a blockage spell on Tikki and Plagg for prevent anyone to summon Gimmi.

ML theory: I'm thinking the Supreme is probably a evil type of Guardian of Miraculouses. A Fallen Guardian (NOT Master Fu NOR Su-Han). S/He has many knowledges about Miraculouses and their using + the Absolute Power.

My personal aggregation on the Paris Special:

I've enjoyed to see the episode. The narrative is excellent. The idea of Multiverse in the Miraculous lore is well found. The various animations from the episode are fun. Miraculous World: Paris, Tales of Shadybug and Claw Noire is a wonderful episode.

Result: 10/10

Anyone else getting Homeworld vibes from Challia Bull’s “stranded over Jupiter” flashback?

[demon64]

So... wanting to go over some more ideas for a Guilty Gear/Marvel crossover, I did have the idea of imagine if the 2099 characters were part of it... then remembered that I gotta refresh my Marvel 2099 knowledge. I will probably try this idea another day. So! Going another route, I want to try going over how some Marvel things I am a bit more knowledgeable of could potentially fit. More in a lore sense than a gameplay sense.

First! Locations, as I'll probably go over less of those than I will characters.

NEW YORK CITY: Has been through a cataclysm and rebuilt stronger. Home to many humans and some mages, with others appearing as well.

WAKANDA: The once-hidden African nation bursting with advanced technology. Wakanda would embrace magic like the rest of the world, but also like the country of Zepp would not outlaw technology from before the discovery of magic, or "Black Tech" as it's called.

ATTILAN: The home city of a chunk of the Inhumans, at the very least home of the Inhuman Royal Family. Located on the Blue Area of the Moon, it was secret and has a tense relationship with Earth people. Still uses "Black Tech" as the Inhumans prefer to follow their own rules, though do use their powers as well.

KRAKOA: Country founded by mutants, founded leaders of both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. Run by a council. Prohibited use of magic and technology, as mutantkind has found their own ways to advance as a unique civilization, primarily through their own use of their powers.

ASGARD: I imagine it could be a realm between both Earth and The Backyard, explaining why it is more naturally acclimated to magic. Same could go for the other realms that are not Earth, such as Alfheim, Hel, and even the other mythological worlds of other pantheons.

Next! Let's try going over how I would differentiate between Mutants, Gears, and other beings.

MUTANTS: Naturally occurring, generally humanoid beings who are fully biological. Powers start occurring generally around puberty, though some can show at earlier ages, with physical differences appearing at birth or puberty.

GEARS: Created artificially, through a combination of magic and technology, are technically comparable to cyborgs. One can become a Gear, while Gears can also be born, hatching from eggs. Appearances can range highly, from humanoid to what others would call monstrous.

VAMPIRES: Naturally occurring, magical beings who are fully biological. One can be turned into a vampire. There are Nightwalkers and Daywalkers, with natural weaknesses varying from vampire to vampire.

WEREWOLVES: Naturally occurring, magical beings who are fully biological. One can be turned into a werewolf. Can change form, though reasons vary for transformation. Natural weaknesses vary from werewolf to werewolf.

INHUMANS: Created artificially, through experiments by the Kree on Neanderthals. The process to create Inhumans has been destroyed, as the project was seen as a failure of the Kree scientists, so most Inhumans are born naturally. Gain their powers through Terrigenesis.

Now, onto some characters!

DOCTOR STRANGE: Stephen Strange, once a famed surgeon, he lost the use of his hands in an accident and went in search of miracle to fix them. Finding the hidden Kamar-Taj, he would learn more about magic and how to properly utilize it to its fullest extent, becoming the new Sorcerer Supreme in the process.

SPIDER-MAN: Ben Reilly, clone-brother of the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker. Lives in New York City and helps keep the people safe. Nobody knows what to consider him beyond a "hero".

THE HULK: Bruce Banner, scientist that specializes in Gamma Radiation. College buddy of Frederick Bulsara. Considered a Gear despite not being of the same means. Seemingly disappeared, rumors floating around that he may have been sent into outer space.

NICK FURY: Current head of Strategic Homeworld Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division, or S.H.I.E.L.D. for short. Has a tense relationship with the Secretary Of Absolute Defense, Goldlewis Dickinson. Knows more about forces beyond Earth than he lets on.

T'CHALLA: The current Black Panther and King of Wakanda. He is empowered by a serum made from a special herb that only grows in Wakanda. Still considered human despite his superpowered nature, as no Magitek has was used.

STORM: Ororo Monroe, wife of Black Panther and Queen of Wakanda. Mutant born naturally with power over the weather. Minor practitioner of magic. Acts of mediator between Wakanda and Krakoa.

LAURA KINNEY: daughter of the original Wolverine, Logan, who is believed to be dead. Currently acts as vigilante/bounty hunter with her boyfriend Hellion, with her clone-sister Gabby and pet actual wolverine Jonathan acting as back-up and/or making money in other ventures.
