[littlebirdssinging]

I was rewatching Anthem ep. 1 as research for a fic and I realized Pyke said he’s died before? Like he literally told Waxley “it’s not the first time”. So, clearly this is a Pyke Thing, but not one well known enough for Waxley to have heard of it. But we do know that Solari are fairly rare (at least according to Overture, idk if they changed that for Anthem), so information about them may just not be common knowledge

I feel like in Overture there was metion of Rex being jealous of Pyke for having his star powers with the gauntlet and Pyke being Leo Khan's favorite or getting special training/treatment after those powers awakened or something.

If true, this could mean that all of the star powers are just a Pyke thing, or are rare for Solar elves, but this was before Anthem and the creation of Solari as a race, so it's possible that this was added as a species trait later on or that they tweaked it so that all Solari have Pyle's gauntlet blast powers now.

Anyway, Pyke has serious Main Character Energy so I wouldn't be super surprised if he was blessed by the stars or the subject of a prophecy, but it all may just be new Solari traits.

I was thinking (big mistake) and came to multiple wild scenarios due to Pyke’s phoenix features, since im really into fire themes I was really hyped when I heard anything about a phoenix (fave fantasy critter) but the more I think about it the wilder it gets. Because there are two options to this, one this is just a solari thing everyone can do and two this is a reserved for a specific group of people.

When watching the second episode it is described as just a solari feature which I guess implies that it is something everyone can do and that is so freaking insane. Imagine a whole planet, a whole race of people who don’t die when they’re killed, not only that but they IMPLODE with radiant light that DAMAGES people in a 30 foot radius.

That’s crazy, I’m sorry, yes it’s not a lot of damage and yes they don’t come back at full Health but as they grow and become stronger they come back stronger and deal more damage that’s like,,, crazy. I wonder if it’s a widely known fact or if the solari are secretive about it, if because of that maybe it’s uncommon to see them around or smt.

Does it affect old age? Like do you die bc you’re old and then you come back for a little to fix some of your shit and then the grim reaper comes for you again? In the technical sense the player can choose whether to do it or not but in the context of the universe do the solari themselves do it? Can you go “yeah this is it”? Or does it just happen sometimes and sometimes not.

How does that affect their society, their religion, culture I need to know please.

If it is reduced to a certain amount of people though is it like a recessive gene or is it tied to Pyke’s training? Or both? Is there a congregation that searches for those with this special ability to nurture them? To keep them safe? Who knows!

If this is the case it might not be widespread knowledge so imagine the outside world’s reaction to this shit.

Imagine poor Rett, he’s in the middle of a fight and suddenly this man he’s been working with for a while falls, and Rett’s seen dead bodies he knows and it’s a shock and it’s surprising and scary and brings back terrible memories and just as he’s beginning to compartmentalize, to shove it all down for now so he can focus on getting to Pyke and administering medical attention there’s this massive surge of light.

It’s bright, it’s hot, more than hot burning and it’s coming from Pyke? The fuck? Suddenly a goddamn explosion of radiant light fills the room, the enemy staggers back slightly confused and the same man he just saw lying dead on the floor STANDS BACK UP ready to keep on going, I’m sorry??? I would scream.

Andy says that Rett’s tech scares the shit out of Pyke because it’s a controlled black hole who wouldn’t be fucking terrified of that shit, but I feel like it’s mutual because what do you mean you can die and sometimes come back what do you mean.

Because death is one of the few constants of the world and he’s SUBVERTING IT took the tight line between life and death and began using it as a jumping rope.

Now picture the prison. Imagine a group of prisoners gang up on Pyke and beat the shit out of him, the guards dont get there in time, his body goes slack and everyone just kind of stands and waits for a moment in shocked silence.

Then light, tons of it, radiating like solar waves and suddenly the guy bloodied on the floor is taking in gasping lungfuls of breath and all the hair on your face got singed. The inmates are stumped, the guards are stumped, the medics are like he did what now? Me personally I wouldn’t bother that guy anymore idk about y’all.

I know that stardust is generally a soft sci-fi system so it might never be explained in detail but I personally would like to know a little more about it. Be it that it’s actually important to Pyke’s backstory or just during a QnA my brain begs for more information with its grubby little hands.

This is on the same being of Pyke just fucking sprouting wings, like even if the whole explanation is that there is an old ass legend or smt about a blessing, or that they have a connection to the stars, or that they have some inherent restorative magic that only works on themselves im really curious,,,,

Anyways give me ur theories I want to know what people think.

i did not edit this. HOW did he make that sound.

[echopaulens]

Welcome to my AU called "I throw Overture Rex and Pyke into Anthem because I can", enjoy some stupid shit

[ouaw-facts-i-just-made-up]

Every night Rett goes from room to room of the Rhapsody crew and just. Watches them sleep awhile. If he notices that someone’s laying in an uncomfortable position on the bed or isn’t covered up he’ll very gently tuck them in. Doing his very best to keep quiet.

He’s a dad now. And he loves his children dearly

This is a true fact.

SOMEONE needs to make sure everyone else isnt shrimp moding and/or cold. He's not a step dad he's a dad who stepped up.

with given me the host money as bribing is NOT Ok

To artist am cool being used as Art gallery for this contest art

Ok, to explain more how bribes me works if one of your choice PC lost a round, then you need to give me a good case and a compelling bribes, then l let's lose go to next Round instead

What's the Rett? You bought Pyke his first meal out of jail?

You also got his first cigarette? HUH?

GONNA GIVE HIM HIS FIRST SLOPPY TONGUE AS WELL?

[dark-twist-fairytales]

No, now I'm thinking about it too much.

Modern day AU: Briggsy is the captain of a ship and crew for some company (fully projecting that it's a tug boat company), well known that to the point companies don't want to lose him. Seriously, they'd do anything to keep him around.

Rex is a well known racer. I'm thinking more of an auto racer (either sports car or stock car (listen NASCAR is engraved in my soul, I'm sorry)), but a racer nonetheless, and their paths cross. Either because Briggsy's company is Rex's sponsor, or the sponsor of another racer- They cross regardless.

Rex is on an adrenaline high from a race well done, Briggsy is just impressed with the show (he gets limited time off, so any chance to relax is a chance he'll take), but he also wants to get under his skin. Just watching, before saying something so simple to nudge at Rex, a simple question or statement, but it gets Rex's attention. More than a smirk, more than just a remark, but a jab back.

They get on each others nerves in the best way possible, because they don't know each other. They can jab and poke fun -"That your best racin', mate?" "Better than whatever racin' ya do on sea."- and they can explain to each other. They're both showboats, wanting their names out there, and in their own worlds: They are.

But to mix and meld those worlds together? Now that's something.

"Those characters would never interact with each other in canon, why would you-?" Because it's fun and I like a little whimsy in my life.

Anyways, Rex/Briggsy, they would get on each other's nerves in the best way possible.

[fuckitpossumorb]

Any pointers?
