Xenoblade X posting like it's 2017,,,,,,,

This is a gift for @jammboe who is a wonderful friend that I got to know because of this game~ (pls check him out he makes art too and is very very good at it!!!!!) In general I made so many amazing friends bc of XCX, which is why it will always have a very special place in my heart

(I've recently been hit with major emotions over it and I've been playing it a bit again just to exist in its world, and it's been so much fun! Even though I barely have anything left to do in it whoops)

CT-2505 | "Brainstorm": engineer with a knack for designing weapons that will probably never see practical use. firm believer that the ends justify the means. mentally removes himself from the destruction he enables. advocate for ethically dubious experimentation in the pursuit of scientific advancement. assumes he's the smartest person in the room (note: false bravado? unclear.). poor* judge of character.

partially blind in right eye. frequently cycles through glasses. heavy right-side scarring from laboratory explosion. teal left-side facial tattoos.

hands you him

I live for this interaction. The unexpected jab at Renan armored soldiers in this place of peaceful coexistence. The implication that Dahnans call Renan soldiers good-for-nothings behind their backs. the possibility of a low-key rivalry between the armored soldiers and the royal guard. hehe >:)

i gave in and bought premium credits just so i can give my agent Jakob a nice outfit. the shoes change from a pair white (yet stained) sneakers, a pair of brown boots, and a pair of black highcut sneakers.

this is the outfit you'd see me wearing if you ever come across me irl. the game's outfits are mostly tactical with casual clothing underneath but i'd prefer something even more casual. i'm glad this shirt in particular omits the armor.

Remember the Battle of the Bulge: December 1944–January 1945.

Following the D-Day invasion of June 1944, the Allies broke out of Normandy and advanced rapidly across France and Belgium.

Hitler aimed to halt them through a surprise Blitzkrieg. Several armored divisions massed in the Ardennes with the goal of breaking through Allied lines. American forces held on stubbornly in spite of heavy casualties—more than 19,000 died. The Germans had limited supplies, and could only fight for a few days before fuel and ammunition ran out, so the offensive soon ran out of steam. Allied lines bulged, but did not break, and hundreds of thousands of reinforcements poured into the area. Afterward, Germany lacked resources for another offensive. The end was inevitable.

Like it is PROBABLY a suit like you said but for some reason if I imagine Gabriel's skin as not looking like his suit it feels wrong??? But that's on me tbh. Also I've seen too much fanart where it's his skin U_U

gonna smack in a screeny of the tags on the other post for context

thing is I personally also see it as skin because it is simply funnier to me to imagine that this guy is running around in basicly full plate arms and thigh high boots combined with a battle skirt and that sad excuse of troso protection.

The thing with me hoping that it would be a body suit is really just a "if this guy is anything like humans I'd hope he'd be smart enough to wear one" type thing because, as a human, that would not fly at all but personally I like to believe that as an angel it doesn't really matter as much (I like to headcanon that angels can change their appearence to be more palatable to the beholder. Like that's just an angel headcanon I have for all angels in every franchise unless it is specifically stated to not be the case. In gabes case I think he just chose to look like that for the street cred and the fashion bc he's a dramatic bitch <- affectionately)

Blank metal on skin is a recepie for disaster and additionally his chest plate cuts off at such a weird spot that if he were to bow down just a little he'd kinda stab himself in the tummy with it (I'm looking at his official renders rn). Like it ends in a point at the bottom, considering that he's allready having his waistline all out and about it would have (from a a real life armor logic standpoint) at that point just been smarter to make it have an upwards curve at the bottom that kinda follows the line of the ribcage to allow for more articulation. Also I just noticed that, on his sides, almost all his ribs are exposed and the thing that goes under his armpits is not straps keeeping two plates together but SOLID METAL??? Gabriel baby girl what are you THINKING??? Just get one of these chainmail bikins in gild and silver by that point holy shit that is just asking to be stabbed and don't even get me started on the under arm chafing and the constant metal screeching of his upper arm plate rubbing against that torso piece.
