JRPGs are rich in story and visual as a game genre at a low development cost. I sincerely hope that More Than Meets the Eye can be adapted into my favourite game genre.

Delphi

Barbara x Tucker

Barbara had been chatting with Pharaoh for almost as long as she had been Oracle. He was another hacker, one who she had struck up a friendship with and genuinely cared about. He told corny jokes and complained about how pushy his vegetarian friend was, but despite him being a hacker, he was her closest non vigilante friend.

So, two days before the tenth anniversary of her becoming paralyzed, she gathered her courage and sent an email about what happened. (She might have unloaded more of her emotions than she thought, but she was kind of emotional.)

She didn’t hear anything back, and it put her on edge. Pharaoh always responded within 36 hours of any email, but he didn’t respond to this one. (A part of her wondered if she had gotten too real, said too much, if she had done something to alienate her best friend.

The morning of the anniversary, she woke to chaos and jubilation in the streets. She opened her phone to hundreds of notifications. However, the news headline caught her eye first.

Joker found in full body Paralysis! Doctors say there is no chance of recovery!

Barbara blinked, and then a notification from Pharaoh caught her eye.

The Clown is never gonna walk again. He’s not dead, but he won’t be able to move anything below the neck ever again.

Hope we can meet up while I’m in town.

Hey guysss so Grey (my cocreative director/programmer for “Criminally Yours”) made their own Oracle the default name “Delphi”.

I loved their design sm that I adopted them as my own oc as well and our sprite artist was kind enough to draw her 🙈 we are so blessed, and we’ve never understood Nik more than we do now.

Apollo as an Oracular Deity

Epithets

Loxias: Interpreter of Zeus’s will

Delphinius: Derived from Delphi, where Apollo has his Oracle

Eutresites: Derived from Eutresis, where Apollo had an Oracle

Patareus: Derived from Patara, where Apollo had an Oracle and where he was said to vacation for six months during the winter

Puthios: The Pythian, in reference to the python slayed at Delphi and established his Oracle

Thearius: Of the Oracle

Proupsius: Foreseeing

Clerius: Distributing by lot

Cledones: Omen in words and sounds

Apollo, as a god of prophecy, was seen as delivering the Word of Zeus to mortals through his Oracles. Most famously, Apollo reigned over the Oracle of Delphi which was said to be gifted to him by his grandmother, the titaness Phoebe. However, there is archeological evidence that the site was initially sacred to Gaia, perhaps until priests from Delos arrived. The Pythia is the name for Apollo’s priestess at Delphi who served as the Oracle. Little is known about how the Pythia was chosen and how she operated, but it is believed she would inhale psychoactive gases from the caverns of Delphi and enter into a trance, uttering words that could only be translated by the priest. She could only be consulted once a month and only during warm months since Apollo was believed to have abandoned his temple during the winter. 

Ways to connect with Apollo’s Prophecy aspect:

Learn about different divination techniques

Try different forms of divination 

Don’t overdo it with divination, i.e. divination in moderation

Design your own tarot/oracle cards

Create your own divination tools
