Vincent's New Kid Just Dropped CH 13: Deepground Flashback and Present Day, Sephiroth and Cid get a little screentime

prev. chap

RATING: this is a pretty teen-and-up chapter

WARNINGS: disgustingly fluffy family stuff, gratuitous reading of Loveless, Genesis being the world's best onii-chan, referenced torture, phantom pain, PTSD, Vincent being an old man, canon-typical Sephiroth sadness

HE'S JUST A LITTLE GUY

brothers 🖤♥️🤍

also keep this outfit in mind

“Self-care is an essential life skill,” Genesis was saying, as he sat at the table, in Weiss and Nero’s room, gently pushing back Rosso’s cuticles, with a tool from the manicure kit he’d produced from a coat pocket. “We don’t groom and dress for others, but for ourselves. Even if you’re not going out, on a given day, you should take a little time to make yourself feel beautiful.”

“I am not going out any day,” Rosso said disconsolately. “And I don’t care about feeling beautiful, I just want to kill things.”

“Well, live your truth, darling, but self-confidence is an essential battlefield tool. Good grooming habits are a foundational element of self-confidence. Even on the front lines, I always kept my manicure kit with me.”

Rosso appeared skeptical. “You really did?”

“Mn,” he nodded, as he smoothed the rough edges of her fingernails with the crystal emery board. “I consider it a necessary item for survival.”

“A necessary item for survival…” she repeated, gazing dazedly at her newly manicured hands.

When Genesis was satisfied that the girl’s nails were as good as they were going to get, he stowed the tools and zipped up the little case, which had obviously been custom made for him, with an ornate apple tree embossed in the red leather.

“You know what? I want you to have this,” he said, holding it out to Rosso. “You can use it to establish your own pre-slaughter self-care regimen.”

Rosso’s eyes went wide, and she glanced over at Nero and Weiss, who were paying no attention whatsoever. “Me? I can’t…I can’t take such a nice thing, from you.”

“Nonsense, I have a hundred manicure kits. I insist,” Genesis countered, pushing it firmly into her hands. Seeing that she was still hesitant, he added, in a softer tone, “Every girl deserves to have pretty things, little sister.”

That master stroke thoroughly conquered Rosso, who had never been spoken to so kindly, before, let alone received a gift from anyone. She accepted it without further protest, blushing nearly as red as the manicure kit, in her flustered state. “Thank you, b—brother.”

“Don’t mention it. Now then, I think it’s high time we…ahem.” Genesis planted his hands on his hips. “Little brothers? I do admire your unquenchable passion, but if you could remove your tongues from each other’s mouths for long enough to have a conversation, I’d be much obliged.”

“We can talk without our mouths,” Nero informed him, through the darkness link.

“But our sister can’t,” Genesis said aloud. “It is rude to exclude her.”

“They are watching. And listening,” Weiss replied.

“Are they indeed.”

Genesis stepped to the center of the room and scanned the area, quickly spotting the concealed cameras and listening devices, in addition to the openly visible ones. Then he wheeled about, smiled directly into the primary camera, in the ceiling above the door, and raised his middle finger, before he tossed out a sparking and snapping thundara burst.

Rosso gasped and the two boys gave a jolt of surprise, as it struck the camera dead-on, and went crackling along precise and specific paths through the metal walls, instantly frying all the surveillance equipment, while leaving the lights and other systems intact.

“I do dislike being spied upon,” he sneered, dusting off his hands. “Now, tell me why the hell I can hear you two in my head. And why I get such a strong feeling, as if…I don’t know. As if we’re all actually blood related.”

“We don’t know, either,” Nero answered truthfully. “Weiss and me are half brothers, by our mother. We can talk to you in our heads because the darkness thinks we’re connected to you by blood. Rosso, too, but not as much as you. That’s why I can’t use it to talk to her, without hurting her. But it hasn’t ever thought anyone else is connected. Only us four.”

“Hm. You wouldn’t, by any chance, happen to have a parent from Banora, would you?” Genesis put forth.

Weiss shrugged. “Maybe. Our mother was a scientist here, but we don’t know anything else about her. She could have been from there.”

“I don’t know anything about my parents,” Rosso said, in answer to Genesis’ questioning look. “I only know I was born in Deepground.”

“You were all born here, then. That makes sense for the three of you, but how do I fit into this little chain,” he mused, tapping his chin with a perfectly manicured finger. Then he shook his head, with a sigh. “Well, speculating isn’t solving anything. I shall have to do some digging around, on my own. I have a sneaking suspicion that behind this thread there will be a much bigger knot, to untangle.”

Weiss studied the young man surreptitiously, as he arched his back in a stretch, then carded his fingers absently through his auburn hair.

His red coat and leather waist armor hung on the hook by the door, and he’d removed his gloves, before working on Rosso’s fingernails. Now, in only his sleeveless SOLDIER uniform top and trousers, it was suddenly apparent how very hard and muscular his body really was.

His long, streamlined trench coat, with its black, scarab-wing epaulets, had a minimizing and slenderizing visual effect, on his tall frame. It was the opposite effect to Sephiroth’s huge, white pauldrons and exposed chest, which made his lean and agile frame appear bulkier and more imposing than it was. Sephiroth was almost half a foot taller than Genesis, and somewhat broader in the chest, but the two were actually fairly comparable, in terms of muscle mass.

If Genesis and Sephiroth were built like swordsmen, however, Weiss was built like a heavyweight boxer. He needed no creative costuming whatsoever, to make his body appear more tank-like. The researchers liked to say that all the boy had to do to gain muscle mass was eat and breathe, which was fairly close to the truth.

“So, you want to fight Sephiroth,” Genesis said, sensing that he was being sized up. “How very amusing that will be. If he doesn’t just kill you, I mean.”

Wiess gave a snort. “Unlikely.”

An auburn eyebrow arched. “So confident. But take care it isn’t baseless arrogance. Remember, we trained together. I have sparred with him, on many occasions. Not to compliment him unduly, but I will tell you now, he is the strongest opponent I’ve ever faced. There is no way to describe him but…monstrous.”

“He is a monster because he is impure,” Weiss said, unconcernedly. “I am not. The corrupted can never triumph over the immaculate.”

Genesis squinted doubtfully. “Purity is a rather esoteric principle. I do hope that’s not all you’re basing your self-assurance on.”

“One way or another, I intend to defeat him. Is that a problem?”

“Please,” Genesis scoffed. “I would like nothing more than to see Sephiroth taken down a peg or two. His ascendancy has gone on quite long enough. But, you’ll have to forgive me for doubting your ability to do that. You may be naturally gifted, but he has years of experience in real, life and death combat.”

Weiss only smiled. “You doubt me because you’ve never fought me.”

“True enough. I suppose all will be revealed when I test you, tomorrow.”

“My brother is the strongest, you’ll see,” Nero put in, proudly, which made Genesis smile and ruffle his black hair.

Rosso said nothing, but quietly hoped Weiss was not making a serious miscalculation. She still wished he wouldn’t do this mad thing, but he was the leader and he’d made his decision. She had no choice but to trust him, and hope for the best.

All that afternoon, no one came to see about the damaged surveillance equipment, and when the handlers delivered evening meals, they didn’t mention anything about it. Genesis imagined that Hojo was probably fuming, but he seemed to have an understanding with Weiss, and there was no way he was going to risk a full-scale disaster, at this point, by interfering with a bunch of teenaged weapons of mass-destruction, at their slumber party.

Much later that evening, Rosso had gone back to her own quarters, leaving the other three to themselves. Genesis was seated on the bed, reading aloud to Nero, whose ink-black head was nestled in his lap, and to Weiss, who was snuggled up to him on the other side, with his snow-white head resting on his shoulder, gazing curiously at the first ink and paper book he’d ever seen in person.

“There is no hate, only joy. For you are beloved by the goddess. Hero of the dawn, healer of worlds. Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul. Pride is lost. Wings stripped away, the end is nigh.”

“This isn’t a very nice story,” Nero grumbled, from his lap, rolling his shoulders with their bare brackets, since his metal wings were hanging on a rack on the wall.

“Not every part of a story can be nice, little one,” Genesis explained. “They’re a bit like life. If there’s nothing sad or bitter in them, how can we fully appreciate the sweet parts?”

“Hmph,” was all Nero said in response.

Genesis chuckled and petted his head, then returned to reading.

Despite Nero’s initial grouchy declaration, both boys eternally endeared themselves to the famous SOLDIER, that evening, by listening attentively, through the entirety of the meandering and abstruse narrative, all the way to the end. Even Sephiroth had only done so once, in all their long acquaintance, and he’d fallen asleep halfway through.

“My soul, corrupted by vengeance, hath endured torment to find the end of the journey; in my own salvation, and your eternal slumber. Legend shall speak of the sacrifice at world’s end. The wind sails over the water’s surface, quietly, but surely.”

As he wrapped up his reading, Genesis heard a sniffle and looked up from the book. He was astonished to find Weiss wiping away tears, from his silver-blue eyes.

Weiss saw that his unwonted display of emotion had been noticed and scowled sullenly. “The end is too sad. I don’t like it.”

“But it hasn’t ended, yet,” Genesis pointed out. “How do you know it’ll be sad?”

“What do you mean? There’s no more written, after that. The pages are blank.”

“That is one of the most intriguing things about this work. It was either left unfinished by the original author, or that part of the text hasn’t been discovered yet. Who can say what the ending will be?”

“It doesn’t matter if we don’t have it written out. I know it’ll be sad,” Weiss maintained. “The end will be about sacrifice. That’s the theme, the whole way through. Even if the world is saved, someone will have to die saving it.”

Genesis tilted his head. “And that makes you sad?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Weiss paused, struggling to clearly frame his ideas. “Because…only someone who deserves to live would give up their life for the world’s sake. Tragedy is inherent in the very act of heroism. It makes me sad that someone so strong and brave has to die, to save all the weak, undeserving people, who will never know, and never appreciate it.”

“Hm. You are very astute,” Genesis remarked. “It takes most people much longer to decipher the themes in this work. But, might it not be the case, that true heroism lies in self-sacrifice, for its own sake, without expectation of recognition or reward?”

“Maybe, but that only happens in fantasy. I would never sacrifice myself or my brother, for the world’s sake. Even if we didn’t deserve life, I’d take it for us, with my own hands, and destroy anyone and anything that stood in the way.”

Genesis smiled archly. “I think, little brother, that would make you a villain.”

“I’ll be the best villain, then,” Wiess declared staunchly. “Being a hero sounds stupid, anyway.”

By way of reply, Gensis laughed aloud and leaned over to press a kiss to his cheek.

It was the first time anyone but Nero had dared to so boldly assail his person. Weiss was startled by the gesture, but found that he didn’t exactly dislike it. No, in fact, he rather liked it.

He nuzzled his head back into the crook of Genesis’ neck, to conceal the color that had risen in his cheeks, and mentally added him to the list of people who were allowed to touch him in a familiar way. It was now up to a grand total of two.

Nero, meanwhile, not wanting to be left out, sat up and presented his face for a kiss, too, which was duly granted. Neither of the boys had any way of knowing that this was the most affectionate Genesis Rhapsodos had ever been, with anyone. Including his own parents.

That night, the three newfound brothers talked and debated and laughed, well into the small hours, and eventually fell asleep together, in the narrow bed. Three heads lined up on the pillows, white, black, and red, with little Nero in the middle, safely enclosed in the arms of Weiss and Genesis.

Some time in the early morning, Sephiroth appeared silently, to check in on Nero. There he still stood, as the indigo sky lightened with the approaching dawn, gazing down at something, with a strange expression in his catlike eyes.

On the bed, his little half-brother was sleeping peacefully, in the arms of their father, who was also fast asleep. Two pale, beautiful faces, in repose, so like to his own and yet so unlike.

Sephiroth had never dared to touch his biological father. Never dared to reach out, to ask for anything, to make even the slightest nuisance of himself, for fear of shattering the uneasy peace, in which he was somehow allowed to remain here, with his infant sister.

But his brother, who had done nothing but kick and curse, and make his detestation of the whole household loudly known…he was embraced. Held. Soothed and comforted. Nero was treated like Vincent’s son, while Sephiroth was little more than a lonely specter, haunting this happy home.

They were wary of him, he knew, and viewed all his actions through a lens of suspicion, because of what he’d done. It would be useless to explain that he had been out of his mind, possessed by that creature, and deceived into committing atrocities. The atrocities remained committed. Innocent people were still dead. Exculpating his own guilt would help no one and repair nothing.

Ironic, that they should fear him, having no idea that the most dangerous man on the planet spent every moment paralyzed with fear, of being cast out from among the only family he’d ever had. Of being cut off from humanity, left to drift through existence, alone and untethered. To become a real ghost, and eventually to fade away.

His entire body and soul ached with longing to be embraced by his father as well, but that was foolishness. He needed no such coddling, he reminded himself. He was a grown man and Nero was a child. Younger than Cloud, by several years.

His cold, flickering body warmed and became more tangible, at the thought of his fiery-tempered and sharp-tongued darling. The only one who had held on, through the madness, and refused to let go of the man.

Cloud was all he needed. Cloud’s love was more than enough to keep him alive. He didn’t need his father’s love, as well. That would just be childish greediness. Tacit acceptance of his presence was all he could hope for. It was far more than he deserved.

Like a little alarm clock, always set to the same time, he sensed Ollie begin to stir, and knew that it was six-fifteen on the dot. With one more lingering glance at his sleeping father and brother, he vanished into purple-black vapor, to retrieve the warmed bottle from the kitchen, and begin his daily tasks. Quietly attending to the things that would otherwise lie neglected, in a house full of men.

“Yeah, I seen ‘em, plenty of times. Usually they’re bein’ used to couple old tech to new tech, where there ain’t compatible connectors.”

It was a little past noon, and Vincent had come to find Cid, in his workshop, out back.

“Newer OS uses a emulator program to talk to the old tech and make it all synch up.” Cid ran a hand back through his hair, giving a shudder as he recalled the metal brackets in Nero’s back, surrounded by deep, ugly scars. “I guess hookin’ up a human body to a machine is pretty close to the same principle, but…god damn. You’d have to be a sick fuckin’ bastard to do that shit to a kid.”

“Can you do anything?” Vincent asked.

“Don’t know. Maybe. There any way to find his wings?”

Vincent shook his head. “They were obliterated with everything else. I wish I’d known this would be an issue. I’d have been more careful not to leave them behind.”

“Only other way would be to get into Deepground’s system and look for files or anything that might have info on the design.”

“We should contact Reeve, then. He downloaded Deepground’s entire database, wanting to study its AI program. If there is anything about the prosthesis, he’ll have it.”

“Oh great, he’s studyin’ the fuckin’ AI. Just what the world needs more of,” Cid grumbled, as he lit a cigarette.

Vincent tilted his head to one side. “What’s wrong?”

“I just…I don’t get how ya can be so calm about this, Vince,” Cid answered, blowing out a plume of blue-white smoke. “That’s your kid in there, out of his mind and in constant pain, ‘cause of some monstrous shit Shinra did to his body, without—” He broke off and looked away, clearing his throat. “Sorry. Sometimes I…I let myself forget they did that same shit to you. If I didn’t, I’d be angry all the goddamn time.”

“You are angry all the time,” Vincent said affectionately.

“But like, even more angry all the time.”

“Thank you for worrying about Nero. I know he hasn’t been easy to deal with.”

“He’s your son, baby. You’re my husband, so that makes him my family, too. That’s the deal. That’s what marriage is.”

Vincent only answered with a stiff nod, but Cid was well aware that in Vincent-language, that meant he was suppressing some strong emotion, that he was unable or unwilling to express, at that moment. That worked out fine for Cid, because it usually meant he’d express it later, in private, which was bound to be a lot more fun.

Unable to help himself, he hooked an arm around his husband’s narrow waist and pulled him closer. Vincent’s long hair hung loose and free, half over his face, and he had his red headband on, like usual, but he’d started wearing more ‘normal’ clothing at home, which today took the form of a red v-neck, haphazardly embellished with a number of inexplicable and completely unnecessary zippers, and with a long, frayed and torn hem (all of which made it look suspiciously like his cloak).

His clothing items almost always featured similar signs of damage, despite the fact that he’d created them himself, in the moment, and it was literally impossible for them to have collected wear and tear. Same with his faded, black jeans, which were slashed all over like they’d been in a knife fight. He looked a hell of a lot like one of those guys on the rock’n’roll posters, in the 80s, come to think of it.

“Hey babe, y’ever listen to Guns N’ Roses?”

“No. I assume it’s a musical group?” Vincent ventured. “Rock’n’roll, from the sound of it?”

Cid snorted with laughter. “Fuck…you’re such an old man. They’re only one of the most famous bands of all time. Hottest shit goin’ in the 80s and 90s.”

“I spent the 80s and 90s sleeping in a coffin, under Shinra Manor.”

“Ain’t no excuse for cultural illiteracy, Vinnie. Specially since ya look just like one of them rock’n’roll dudes.”

“No, they look like me,” Vincent scowled. “I’ve looked like this for thirty years.”

“Mm, true. Who knows, maybe Axl Rose wandered into the basement and saw ya sleepin’, and it inspired the fashion of a whole generation.”

“Hmph. Axl Rose is an absurd stage name.”

“That’s his real name, sugar dumplin’.” Cid searched up a picture of the band on his phone and held it up for Vincent to look at.

“Oh. That does look rather like me,” Vincent admitted. “Does he also wear his headband to conceal a scar?”

“Maybe. I never seen him without one.”

“Cid…why did you say the person who attached Nero’s wings would have to be a sick bastard? I understand it’s gruesome, but we’ve seen many such things. You seem especially upset by it.”

Cid hesitated. “It’s cause…in order for the nerves to be spliced in right, they’d have to do it without anesthetic, and keep him awake, the whole time.”

Vincent’s black brows drew together. “Oh. I see.”

“I’ve seen a lotta shit, but never anything that fucked up. Fact the kid lived through it is…I can’t decide if it was a miracle or a cruel joke.”

“It was Chaos. His regenerative factor comes from the darkness. I wouldn’t call it regeneration, so much as indestructibility. More like my body, than a SOLDIER’s. But he does feel pain, normally. If he is like me, he does.”

The mood was growing heavy, so Cid changed tracks, to lighten things up. “Since we’re on the topic, you think you got a lot more kids lurkin’ around, out there?”

“There’s no way to tell,” Vincent said, shaking his head. “My DNA was taken and used without my knowledge. But, knowing Hojo, I somehow doubt Sephiroth and Nero were the only ones. He liked to have backups. The question is, whether any others survived.”

“If so, we’re gonna need more space. And, even if Seph and Nero are the only ones, Ollie’s gonna grow outta that nursery pretty quick. So, I was thinkin’…maybe it’s time we started fixin’ up the old Valentine property.”

“You hate that place,” Vincent objected. “You called it a creepy Dracula castle and said even ghosts would be afraid to haunt it.”

“I stand by that. Didn’t see any ghosts, there, did ya? Point proved.”

“I don’t think that’s logically sound.”

“The point is, ain’t no sense in just lettin’ it sit there gettin’ dustier and creepier. ‘Sides, it’s your family’s home, ya know? Wouldn’t it be nice to have it all cleaned up? Just in case?”

Vincent very nearly smiled. “Of course. Just in case.”

The Growing Demand for Luxury Employee Welcome Kits in Hyderabad

In the corporate world, first impressions matter. From the moment a new hire steps into the workplace, their experience shapes their perception of the company. With businesses in Hyderabad growing rapidly, organizations are realizing the value of providing a premium onboarding experience. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through a luxury employee welcome kit in Hyderabad. These high-end kits are more than just a collection of items; they serve as a statement of appreciation, a morale booster, and a reflection of the company’s commitment to excellence.

The Evolution of Employee Welcome Kits

Traditionally, an employee welcome kit contained a few basic essentials such as a notebook, pen, and ID badge. However, with Hyderabad's evolving corporate culture and the increasing competition for top talent, companies have started upgrading their onboarding process. Now, businesses are focusing on luxury employee welcome kits that enhance the new hire experience by including premium products, thoughtful gifts, and personalized elements.

A well-crafted employee joining kit in Hyderabad is no longer just a formality—it is a strategic investment. It sets the tone for an employee’s journey, increases engagement, and helps build a strong employer brand. Hyderabad-based companies, particularly in the IT, fintech, and pharmaceutical industries, are prioritizing high-end welcome kits to differentiate themselves from competitors and retain top talent.

What Makes a Luxury Employee Welcome Kit Stand Out?

A luxury welcome kit is designed to leave a lasting impact. Unlike standard onboarding kits, these high-end packages feature premium quality items, unique branding, and personalization that resonates with new hires. Here’s what makes them stand out:

1. Premium Stationery and Office Essentials

Luxury welcome kits often include high-quality, branded stationery such as embossed leather notebooks, metal pens with the company logo, and high-end planners. These items not only add sophistication but also provide new employees with the tools they need to stay organized from day one.

2. Tech Gadgets and Accessories

In today’s digital workspace, tech-friendly items make a great addition to any luxury kit. Companies in Hyderabad are including:

Wireless charging pads

Noise-canceling headphones

Ergonomic laptop stands

Bluetooth keyboards and mice

These tech gadgets enhance productivity and show that the company values employee convenience and efficiency.

3. Customized Merchandise

Personalization adds an exclusive touch to a welcome kit. Companies are investing in high-quality branded merchandise such as:

Embroidered company logo jackets

Personalized travel mugs

Engraved nameplates

High-end backpacks with corporate branding

These items not only make employees feel special but also create a sense of belonging and pride in the organization.

4. Wellness and Self-Care Products

Employee well-being is a priority for modern organizations. Luxury welcome kits often include:

Organic herbal teas

Aromatherapy candles

Smart water bottles

Gym memberships or wellness app subscriptions

Providing these self-care items reinforces the company’s dedication to employee health and wellness.

5. Exclusive Employee Perks

In Hyderabad’s competitive job market, additional perks make a significant difference. Some luxury welcome kits feature:

Exclusive dining or shopping discounts

Free subscriptions to professional development platforms

Event or entertainment passes

These perks not only enhance the onboarding experience but also add long-term value to the employee’s tenure with the company.

Why Hyderabad-Based Companies Are Investing in Luxury Kits

Hyderabad has become a hub for multinational corporations and innovative startups. With an increasing focus on employee experience, HR departments are realizing that a luxury welcome kit can make a significant impact on retention and job satisfaction. Here’s why companies in Hyderabad are opting for premium onboarding kits:

First Impression Matters: A high-end welcome kit conveys that the company values and respects its employees right from the beginning.

Stronger Employer Branding: A thoughtfully curated kit reflects a company's culture and commitment to excellence, making it an attractive workplace for future talent.

Higher Engagement Levels: Employees who receive luxury welcome kits feel more motivated and connected to their organization.

Employee Retention: The initial onboarding experience plays a crucial role in reducing early attrition rates, making premium welcome kits a worthwhile investment.

TruArt Wood Burning Kit

Our Rating: (4/5)

This model features a dual power mode, and a fixed temperature setting, which is different from the other models on my list. This is also a fixed temperature model, which may be a deal-breaker for the artist in need of a more versatile pen, one that offers precise temperature control. The pen can switch from thirty watts of power for wood work, to fifteen watts for leather work. The barrel is made out of stainless steel, which can make it uncomfortable and difficult to use after more than an hour. This will be another issue for the serious artist. In this package, you’ll find a total of twenty-one tips, stencils, and other extras that the beginner will appreciate. Given the temperature and power limitations, I would not recommend this model for experienced users.

Pros

Includes twenty-one tips

Dual power

Lightweight

Low price

Cons

Steel barrel is uncomfortable to hold

Fixed temperature can be very limiting for some users

Conclusion

This lightweight, durable fixed temperature pen and tip set are designed with the beginner in mind. The dual power mode will allow you to choose the power level based on application, which can be a plus for some users. However, the barrel can be very uncomfortable to hold for most artists, especially since it lacks any type of padding or support. Considering the limited temperature and tip options, this set is a much better choice for the beginner on a budget, instead of the experienced artist in need of a more versatile wood burning set.

Wood Burning Kit Buyer’s Guide

If you’re interested in delving into the art of leather or wood burning, then you need to use a pyrography pen, also commonly referred to as a wood burning tool. This art form can be used on leather, wood, canvas, gourds, and paper. Wood is the most common material used, which is why so many people refer to this medium as wood-burning.

Hobby or craft, wood burners offer a unique and creative outlet for any person who wants to develop their artistic flair or learn a new craft. As a hobby, it can be a fun way to further develop your artistic skills as you learn how to decorate around the home. Whether you’re new to pyrography or you’re a seasoned artist, to perfect and perform this medium, you need to use the right type of tools. For the best results, you’ll need to use quick heating tools that come with adjustable tips that can burn at different temperatures. But finding the right set can take some research on your part. The tools you use should match your skill level and should come with all the tips and equipment you need based on application type, and your budget.

Benefits of Using Wood Burning Kits

A pyrography machine is used to burn designs not just into wood. It can also be used on gourds, canvas, leather, and other types of natural materials such as bone.

You can use these tools to experiment with a wide range of materials, for different types of art projects.

This medium is very versatile and is often used by gourd artists, woodcarvers, and woodworkers as well as pyrographers.

This is also a very beginner-friendly art form, and one that’s relatively affordable.

Other Features to Look For

When you’re shopping around for a new set, there are many factors that you’ll want to consider before you buy. These factors include intended use, skill level, and your budget.

This art form is practiced with a wood burner, which is a heated pen that comes with different types of tips that allow you to achieve different brushstrokes and effects that are burned into the wood, paper, and other types of materials.

Types of Wood Burning Kits

A traditional kit will come with this pen-like shaped tool that’s very similar to the type of pens used for soldering when working on circuit boards or for delicate glasswork. Using this type of tool will give you more control over your work. The pen-like shaped tool comes equipped with a handle that’s shaped like a cylinder, a tip that’s used to draw on the material’s surface, and a heating element of metal. Some kits will come with a transformer. The transformer works by monitoring and maintaining the temperature that you have set.

When you’re shopping for a new set, you’ll come across two types of pyrography pens:

Solid-point

Wire/Variable temperature

Solid-Point

This type operates and looks just like a soldering iron. It comes equipped with a brass tip that’s heated by an electrical element. These pens work at a fixed temperature.

Wire/Variable Temperature

These tools are often the type preferred by the pros, since they offer variable temperature controls. The tip is heated via an electrical current that passes through it directly. Some models will come with a few interchangeable tips, which will allow you to use different burning effects. The wire points can be molded for a variety of tasks, providing the type of versatility that most artists are looking for. When you’re shopping for a new kit, check out the tips and look for ones that can diversify your shading, allow you to create fine line work, increase your texturing options, and tips that make calligraphy easy. Many models will come with built-in thermostats, which will provide better control over the temperature. You can also purchase a wide range of interchangeable tips including down feather tips, fish scales, and other types of specialty textures.

Kit Contents

In a traditional kit, you’ll find a selection of tips, in addition to a wood burning pen. Higher-priced kits will come with stencils, stamps, fingerguards, a case, a stand, and more. When you’re searching for a new kit online, you’ll find a large selection of tooltips with assorted shapes. Each of the tooltips is designed to create their own effect and performs different functions.

Weight

Some people will prefer to work with a heavier pyrography pen, while other artists prefer lightweight models. With practice and more experience, you will learn which type of tips and pen suit your artistic style and which type is more comfortable to work with. Since you’ll be holding this tool for a long period of time, it’s important that you use a model that’s not only comfortable, but easy to control and manipulate.

Power Options

Many manufacturers will tell you that the more power a kit offers, the better. When you’re working with paper, this is very true, since the hotter the tip the faster you’ll be able to work. However, too much power can cause an undesired blackened look and can even cause your system to overheat.

Power ratings for these sets are often presented in watts. If you’re looking for a faster tool, then purchase one with more amps, as opposed to a model that just has a high wattage. Voltage should also be considered.

Three-volt models usually come with wires that have heavy gauges. This can result in less detail in your work. With a two-volt system, the wires feature a finer gauge, which allows for more detailed work. A three-volt system is usually categorized as a craft-style burner, while high-end two-volt models are often associated with variable temperature pens.

Tip Styles

The tip of the wood burning tool is what makes the impressions. Because of this, it’s very important that you choose the perfect tip, one that will work for your vision and artistic style.

Interchangeable

These tips can provide the type of versatility you need to create more detailed work. They can also allow you to work with fewer pens since the tips can easily be swapped out for another.

Non-Polished

This type of tip is considered a little rougher, which makes it more likely to drag on certain types of materials. The result is more imperfections and a less refined look. These are usually included in a craft-style wood burning kits and are perfect for making huge dark surfaces.

Polished

A polished tip is very smooth. Its smoothness will allow you to run them cleanly over most surfaces. They offer more detail and are usually used with variable temperature models.

Fixed

This type of tip has a reputation for heating up quickly and offering a more uniform look.

Comfort

As I mentioned earlier, comfort is everything. How comfortable or uncomfortable a pen is to hold can have a big impact on your work, especially if you plan on using the tool for a long period of time. Typically, the craft-style pens usually come with the largest handles, which can make the pens uncomfortable to hold and harder to use.

Variable temperature models will come with handles that are significantly smaller, making them much easier to draw with. This will allow you to hold them for longer, comfortably, without the fear of your hand cramping up.
