After learning that they're a clone of their original self with their old memories poorly copied in and experimental cybernetics tacked on, Unicus is informed by ILLUME of the killswitch by their heart that their employers will activate immediately if they knew Unicus learned this.

Fortunately, ILLUME can guide Unicus through the delicate procedure of removing it on their own. Unfortunately, ILLUME is a fucking dick.

Another day, another dinosaur. This time, it's the small but fast Velocisaurus unicus 💨

There aren't many specimens of this dinosaur and I haven't drawn an abelisauroid, let alone a noasaurid ever, so I went for the cartoony style to hide any anatomy mistakes xD

I'm happy to learn more so if you have any info or advice, let me know! ☺️

It’s been 10 years ever since the bizzare-headed marine reptile Atopodentatus unicus, which lived about 247-240 million years ago, was discovered from the Triassic rocks of China, and it still continues to bewilder and fascinate many a paleontologist and paleo-nerd to this day.

My magical girls!!

Me and my friends created our own nagical girl OC's. I worked so hard on these designs, so they would feel unicue yet similar.

codex unicus is an insane concept. it means this text survived in a single copy, a single manuscript. any other copies went lost, were destroyed, were scraped clean, burned, rotted, or, in the most fabled and most comforting option, are still hidden somewhere in a cellar, in an archive, in a private collection never accessed before. do you want to check if a word really is an error? you can't. you want to confront a sentence with the one in another copy? you can't. you want to find out what the illegible ††† part means? you can't. it's lost. unknown. because the manuscript only exists in single copy, and we are so lucky we even have that.

im already curious abt the new OC!! Ingrid looks so lovely~

what inspired the head shape, btw? im also very intrigued by the "one grade ahead" comment... lil Avery in school :((((( /pos so adorable

Hello! I am touched by your interest in her, thank you! 💙 She is based on cirrus clouds, pictured above.

I'm going to infodump a bit here, because clouds are my special interest (shocking nobody, haha) and all of my characters are based on real science. I'll put it under a cut, because I know not everybody appreciates my long-winded expositions, and that's perfectly okay. 💙 I'll talk a bit about your second point toward the end.

I'll start with Avery, since he's the one you know!

Avery was inspired by cumulonimbus clouds, which are the only genus of cloud that can produce all types of weather conditions. While nimbostratus can produce rain, snow, and sleet, only cumulonimbus can create thunder, lightning, and even tornadoes (if they get angry enough). All clouds can fluctuate in size, but cumulonimbus are able to grow larger and are physically stronger than any other genus. Cumulonimbus clouds, like all genera, also have their own species; Avery, specifically, is a cumulonimbus calvus (flat bottom, puffy top). If you were to touch Avery's skin, you would be able to feel that there's a storm inside of him. Looking closely, you would see that his internal "texture" is always shifting and moving. Cumulonimbus clouds always have a mixed composition (a mixture of water and ice crystals), and they can span all layers of the troposphere, so their internal temperate can fluctuate.

Worth mentioning here is that being of a specific genus or species does not mean anything for a cloud's personality; they can vary as much as human personalities can. It would be wrong to make assumptions about a cloud's about disposition based on their appearance (which, by the way -- any cloud can have any body type. The form/shape of their body is not determined by their genus or species, only their head shape, physical abilities and composition).

That said, all cloudkind are generally friendly and altruistic; they exist in a society that is based on compassion and interest in the welfare of its members, not competition.

Ingrid is based on cirrus clouds, specifically, cirrus unicus (pictured above). In Latin, the name means "curly hooks"; they are generally thin, whispy clouds, sometimes also called mares' tails. Cirrus is the only genus that contains the unicus species. Unlike cumulonimbus, cirrus clouds can only form at high altitudes and are composed of ice crystals, which is why she is always cold and would be cold to the touch, too. Optical phenomena, like sun dogs, halos, and cloud iridescence are often associated with cirrus clouds. They cannot produce weather phenomena, but they are often an indicator that stormy weather is coming soon.

On Avery and Ingrid's relationship, they grew up together, and their families are very close. Education is incredibly important in cloud society and is, of course, free and accessible for everyone. I'm planning on writing more about them and their friendship in the future. :3 I think they would have been so cute as kids, too! Personally, I have worked around children for much of my career, I have a huge heart for kids and find them fascinating.

Importantly, if I ever draw my characters as children, it will be for storybuilding purposes only and will NOT involve tickling. Canonically, tickling does not even exist as a concept in Cirropa, and Avery is the only cloud who has ever left.
