My newest OC and Self-Insert! EMP Mine!

It uses It/Its pronouns, and is eternally fatigued! Fond of tabletop games, reading, and rookie user of whatever the Tumblr equivalent is.

EMP is... Powerful in a way only something that can disable a Gear can be. You fight with your Gear predominantly? Not anymore! You got you Gear forcibly dismissed and cannot summon it for a period of time and now you're being beaten with a metal rod!

EMP and Coil are competitors. Yes. Subspace hates EMP more because it walks up, turns off the Biograft, and takes the crystal before moving to the next one.

Ghostwalker totally has no idea what this thing is but he's wary.

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

I got Mage of Breath/Mage of Light, but I think Breath is more accurate.

I'm not. Good at interacting with people. I can act close enough for everything else.

Homestuck Title Test

Who doesn’t want to know the Homestuck Title they would have in the game? 

EDITED: Added more Aspect info, Changed how Rage and Doom work, and added one Syllable Titles!

Edit 2: Added A better 1w9 title, and one syllable ones for different genders if needed. 

More edits: Alt titles added

This is something I’ve been creating for a long time, and finally got to a place where I feel like the test is pretty solid. 

The Test is 3 parts long.

Your title is based off your enneagram type and wing. You can take the test here(first test/button): http://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test.php

When looking at your results, it is the first result in the form #w#, rather than Type #. 

However, if you already know your enneagram type and wing, you can skip taking the test!

The Titles are as follows (6 are non-canon):

1w9- Spark(alt:Fiend original:Agent) 1w2- Heir 

2w1- Maid(male:Serf) 2w3- Star 

3w2- Prince(female:Queen) 3w4- Thief

4w3- Page 4w5- Soul (original:Poet)

5w4- Seer 5w6- Mage

6w5- Knight 6w7- Witch/Ace

7w6- Bard(female: Voice) 7w8- Rogue

8w7- Chief 8w9- Sage

9w8- Sylph(male: Duke) 9w1- Monk

The next part of the test is determining what level you are in your enneagram type. 

Go to http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/ and click on the number that corresponds with the FIRST number from your title.

For example, I got 4w3, the Page, so I’d click the link to 4- The Individualist.

Scroll down to the ‘levels’ and choose which one sounds like what level you are at.

I am level 3. 

The last part of the test is your Aspect, based on the cattell 16 factor test here: http://similarminds.com/cattell-16-factor.html

Here’s where things get a bit complicated.

First, look at Tension and Anxiety. Take your score in Tension and subtract it from 100. This is your new Tension score. Do the same thing for Anxiety. 

(Ex. If you got 30% on Tension, use 70% as the number representing it.)

ONLY TENSION AND ANXIETY ARE WEIRD.

For picking your aspect:

If you were level 1-4, your aspect responds to your highest factor.

If you were level 5-9, your aspect responds to your lowest factor.

The aspects are as follows (4 are non-canon):

Warmth - Light /  Intellect - Mind 

Emotional Stability - Blood / Aggressiveness - Blaze

Liveliness - Life / Dutifulness - Form

Social Assertiveness - Breath / Sensitivity - Heart

Paranoia - Keys / Abstractness - Space

Introversion - Void / Anxiety - Doom

Open-mindedness - Hope / Independence - Time

Perfectionism - Zen / Tension - Rage

So, since I scored highest on Open-mindedness, I am the Hero of Hope.

After finishing the test, I am the Page of Hope! (Jake’s Title yay!)

IN THE EVENT OF A TIE BETWEEN ASPECTS:

If they tied for highest, choose what you think is your greatest strength, or what you think represents you best. If they tied for lowest, choose what you think you need to work on the most to grow.

Symbols for the 4 non-canon ones here: http://thepageofhopes.tumblr.com/post/14384024069/here-are-the-4-symbols-for-the-non-canon-handles

Costumes provided by the lovely seyvee here: http://seyvee.tumblr.com/post/23967844858/god-tier-request-list-closed

So what does all this MEAN?

Kanaya remarked that the titles were meant to CHALLENGE. The game of Sburb is all about growing up and becoming the best you can be. 

What do the Titles mean?

The titles represent what you need to learn through the game.

Sparks need to work to bring change and to set a good example for others

Heirs need to learn to communicate and organize and work with others to get things done.

Maids/Serfs need to take care of others, even if they go un-noticed. 

Stars need to learn to share their talents without getting caught up in self-importance or narcissism.

Princes/Queens need to learn to become less image focused and less narcissistic.

Thieves need to learn to trust others and become less image focused.

Pages need to learn to get out of the background and showcase themselves.

Souls need to learn to focus and expand/utilize their creativity.

Seers need to learn to utilize their intuition to guide others.

Mages need to learn to realize their skills and not get caught up in self-deprecation.

Knights need to learn to stand by their friends and remove the mask they put on for others. 

Witches/Aces need to learn to inspire and motivate, as well as stay optimistic.

Bards/Voices need to learn how to spread mirth and help others enjoy life.

Rogues need to learn control and independence.

Chiefs need to learn to channel their aggressive nature productively and to coordinate others.

Sages need to learn to calm their aggression into silent power and wisdom

Sylphs/Dukes need to learn to take care of others with their inner strength and power.

Monks need to learn to balance between others and teach others.

Well, where do the aspects tie in then?

FIRST: I don't particularly like the names the test site gives the 16 types. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Personality_Factors gives better names and descriptions of what each factor is. 

So, after looking at your factor:

For levels 1-4, it means utilizing what you are best at. i.e., Feferi, the Witch of Life utilizes her high liveliness to motivate others and stay optimistic. 

For levels 5-9, it means growing in an area that you need more of. i.e, Tavros, the Page of Breath needed to get out of Vriska’s shadow and come into his own by growing more bold and standing up to her. 

For Doom/Rage, it works a bit differently as well. 

For levels 1-4, Not having much Tension/Apprehension is a double-edged sword. Being completely laid back doesn’t get much done, and not having any apprehension means leaping into things that might cause big problems later. For these, you are not only utilizing your LACK of Tension/Apprehension, you also have to learn to grow some of it.

For 5-9, it means gaining control over said Anxiety/Tension: becoming more confident and less stressed. 

Other examples-

Eridan, the Prince of Hope needed to be more open-minded to the changes happening, like how the hemospectrum became obsolete. If he had done this, and become less narcissistic, he would’ve been able to better handle the challenges the game presented him with. 

Dave, the Knight of Time, needs more independence (Terezi mentions this a couple of times) so he can better stand by his friends and eventually remove his 'aloof cool-kid’ mask. 

Now go! Reblog what your title is! I’m quite curious to see which ones are common!

Hopefully, this gives you stuff to think about! Enneagram and the 16 factors are interesting to look into!

I am currently writing a fanfiction that is a battle royale between every god tier title. Maybe yours is there, or will be next!

Sometimes I feel like a mass of ever shifting shapes and other times I feel like a pile of stardust and other times I feel like a ferret.

And sometimes I feel like some other thingy.

[luminesce-pv]

Love how my kin is just entirely inconsistent. I am me and not a person but other than that it varies wildly. I'm not even sure how it works.

[luminesce-pv]

it/its but in the dehumanizing way. it/its but in the way that an animal is called an it, a creature born from nature. A creature that is beautiful and special in its own right, something not to be seen as lesser but equal in its own unique ways. " oh but it/its isn't dehumanizing !!" it CAN be to those who want it. Being seen as something nonhuman does not immediately equal lesser; there are beautiful things that are not human. You ever seen some sick tropical birds with its plumage, or the familial ties a bear may have to its cubs, or the dedication a lion may have to its prey. It/Its but in the way of appreciating the unhuman, but not subhuman.

[luminesce-pv]

"why would you WANT to be called it/its" why does anyone want to do anything. stop thinking so hard just live

[luminesce-pv]

New addition to the identity list!

I was staring at Tumblr posts tagged #kobold and saw some dragonposting things. I then decided to go check the definition of otherkin and guess what.

It matches. I have no clue what specifically I identify as beyond vague details tho. Never been good at that.

Everything I know though specifically is that I am non-human (obviously), no requirement for empathy, maybe several perspectives? Physical form is entirely inconsistent but internal organs are excluded. They don't make sense. Maybe a species composed of a singular mind with several bodies and mitosis?

Magic is immediately recognized as edible.

I am not meant to be restrained to one thing at a time because I keep bouncing around myself. Also gender is switched from Agender to Kingender because it was really only a method of separating myself from ordinary humans.

Yippee! Whole post is in the most deadpan voice possible.

Space colors seem the current vibe. If this doesn't change in a month it's gonna be solidified. Well really a week.

[luminesce-pv]

Also have some Scug HCs.

Scugs have both beaks AND radula! They're slightly exclusive, as more carnivorous scugs have more developed beaks and less developed radula and vice versa.

Scugs lay eggs. And are hermaphrodites.

Scugs all have... Fur? It's really more of firm bristles. They're part of why it's hard for a scug to back up!

Lineages can happen to anything! Variations of scug first started as a result of them!

Scugs tend to develop a shared attunement to the cycle far easier than other creatures, to varying levels. (Jolly Co-Op kinda rules)

Glitches are entirely reasonable you CAN ploink.

Scugsign is simpler than scugspeak, but contains most of the important words. Carnivorous scugs have deeper voices, and have trouble with tone as a result!

Scugs hoard instinctually.

Slugpups are running on scav programming for a short while. (They want all the shinies)

City Scugs

So I got bored. And was in one of my Hyperfixation transition phases. And this time it was Worm and Rain World! With a side of Isekai. So I'm just. Making Scugs for Discord friends that I wanna yeet into Brockton Bay. And a couple that won't be.

Some of the most fun people to chat with are trans so this deserves being reblogged. How else am I gonna get stimulus? You should totally reblog this.

[luminesce-pv]

I live in a small corner of five Discord servers normally with occasional excursions into a few others.

But in the two that form the core of my internet cave because I am a burrowing mammal even online I have done many things. Bullet post list of notable things I've done in the core den areas.

Convince the owner to make an entire category thing for D&D that got consumed after being left to mostly rot so we just have a single D&D channel now.

Do the Hanz Challenge and end up a maid for a thousand days, forget what day I'm on, and end up just going "This is my boss Sue, I follow any command within reason."

Disappear for three months and accidentally deadname someone before immediately apologizing and correcting myself.

Get called mom and immediately roll with it.

Get married.

Get divorced.

Adopt a kid to go with the one that imprinted on me.

Teach kids to kill Rain World Vulture.

Learn Jack, owner of the server in the first post, is buff and wears glasses.

Complain about things that would generally be venting in other people but aren't because my standards are legitimately just "Okay-ish? Not dead" and that just means constant access to stimulus.

Gain an archnemesis. She tries to kill my character but we have agreed that if any fight is interrupted to immediately tag team whoever did so.

Superpower AU fixation.

Learned about fanfics after a complicated journey through Original Species servers.

Learn I absolutely am the goat at grammar and structure but suck horribly at writing anything that isn't crack or lore because I don't know how emotions work.

Get locked out and alert people I'll be gone for a bit through Roblox of all things.

Get people concerned after a long conversation on how fun it would be to hunt people like someone from a horror movie. (I have no morals but understand consequences)

The moment I get back I'm gonna just dump all the saddening bits behind spoilers while also showing off my Open Species I made when bored. And also the numerous Scugs I have made for buddies.

Completely ignore a sleep schedule and surprise people because I pretty much don't sleep and am somehow active every second I'm not doing something.

Get immediately pinpointed as the friendgroup's bloodthirsty mimic.

Show off that I'm surprisingly good at building a character that's made to work as a tank and circumnavigate problems despite my Twitch Chat thought process. (Pokemon Unite Falinks build. Trevenant was easier but I love Falinks.)

[luminesce-pv]

What the fuck is this gender thing. I don't get it. What is it. I use It/Its to establish a difference between me and people for mental health rather than solve my self confidence issue.

Also what is with this correlation between a fruit and fornication. It's interrupting my manual search of every fix on a tag on aooo.

Already got through Rain World.

Scugs are great next post is maybe Scug related. Gonna banish a bunch a people to Scugs.

[luminesce-pv]

This fucking camera is so horrible I have to use the reverse in order to get a single picture.

Anyways this is my Starbound character I'm actually playing, Lumi! It's a neutron star, and the ponytail is cause I got fairy wings literally within ten minutes and the color matched and the hair options weren't good enough.

Lumi's got a lime Snugget, and kinda just. Woke up after crashing onto a planet. It's got a surprisingly good memory for a Novakid too! (Personality relevant info and the gist of what happened in the week broadly, mistakes are personality relevant)

Lumi also doesn't have a west accent, it somehow got a pirate one. Uses a mix of British, American, High Seas, and Wild Western slang, with the occasional bit of Ye Old English.

Still has Blue as a rival. She still tries to murder it. Blue's a blue giant and uses a riot shield rigorously. She's also aggressively Wild West. No brand, just square glasses. No frame on the top of the lenses.

[luminesce-pv]

I got bored so I made a Starbound OC, this is S-417, also know as Salt!

It's got a habit of using any firearm it can find, but prefers stuff like rifles. Absolutely loves messing around with a Novakid rival it somehow made, who's named Blue! She keeps trying to kill Salt.

Salt also has a habit of using an almost entirely separate tech standard as a result of it wandering across a gravity based FTL method somewhere and refusing to use any others after reading something on 40k.

Salt also speaks almost entirely monotone as well. It somehow works.
