#dp: Prototype Angel

[if-divinepunishment]

Hello~ I'm new here :D so of course I stalked the entirety of your blog and came across the post where MC possibly being transphobic to Cazine was mentioned in the ask about what the ROs want/need/dread to hear

And honestly I feel like MC is more likely to be confused by the existence of gender roles more than anything 💀 They are a divine being and a hella old one at that. "Why does being a man or woman matter....? Literally anyone can do that-" - MC probably.

I think they'd find the concept of gender roles to be fucking stupid 😭

hiya Anon, thanks for the ask and welcome!

I agree with you, the likely hood of the MC ever being transphobic would be impossible not only because i wouldn't allow it but also because their own creators gender is simply not that simple. Aquine is literally every gender that her followers believe they are. Not only that but the angels learn how to change parts of their body as they mature anyways so they can literally change their perceived gender. I do think the idea of MC being like "just change your body lol" to Cazine is very hilarious and I want to implement flavour text for the MC specifically about gender roles. Especially if the MC does change their body/gender upon maturity.

I think playing around with gender dysphoria or simply wanting to change aspects of your gender (without the dysphoria) would be really fun for me to write especially with the angels in mind, so I am going to do that.

I know your ask wasn't really about that, but it opened the flood gates for me to talk about gender fuckery (my favourite topic) soooo yay.

the mc would for sure find the concept of gender roles to be so unnecessary. Which Cazine would appreciate. I could also see the MC observing human gender roles like how we observe animals through a nature documentary. The idea of MC being like ah! this is how the humans do things is really funny. And the idea of the MC trying to imitate human behaviour (especially if they suck at it) would be funny.

Thanks for your interest in the story! I always appreciate getting asks they are so fun to write about.

hc. erik // main timeline 

ALRIGHT this bad boy is just over 1700 words long but I urge you to read it if you’re at all interested in interacting with my Erik. He is extremely canon-divergent in that DoFP, XMA and DP did not happen. I used to be fine with both DoFP and XMA but the more I think about them the more I’m like “wow, those plots are fucking ridiculous” and I’ve chosen to uh, throw them out the damn window. DP on the other hand was just unabashedly horrific fcKJNFKDNF.

TW: Non-graphic mentions of the following: the Holocaust, kidnapping, child abuse, child death, burning alive, imprisonment and isolation, and murder. Ya boy’s been through HELL but these are just mentions, as in ‘this thing happened- moving on’.

Early life // v: doomed from the start

December 31st, 1929

Erik Magnus Lehnsherr is born, presumably somewhere in Poland, to Jewish German parents. His mother nicknames him ‘Max’ when he is very young, and his father and friends soon pick up on it too.

He befriends Magda Eisenhardt at school as a young boy. The two become close, but are separated during the war, long before Erik is taken by Schmidt. Each assumes the other to be dead.

September 1st, 1939

Germany invades Poland; WWII begins.

Erik’s mutation manifests in short bursts throughout the next few years in moments of stress or anger, made worse by the overall traumatic and stressful living conditions associated with being Jewish at this time. His parents are the only ones to witness his mutation, and are desperate to keep it hidden for Erik’s own safety. Erik’s mother considers it a gift from G-d, and one he must use wisely.

Unknown date, 1944

Erik and his family are sent to Auschwitz. Erik’s mutation manifests fully when he is separated from his parents, distorting an iron gate in an attempt to reach them. He is subdued by the surrounding guards via a blow to the head and taken to Klaus Schmidt (later Sebastian Shaw), a German doctor and mutant. 

Schmidt instructs Erik to move a coin as proof of his mutation, shooting Erik’s mother in front of him when he fails. Erik destroys the surrounding room with his powers in a fit of rage, as well as killing the guards present. His rage quickly turns to grief, however, and he breaks down, allowing himself to be comforted by Schmidt, who claims they’re going to ‘unlock his gift with pain and anger’. Needless to say, the resulting years in Schmidt’s grasp are not pleasant.

 The Schmidt years // v: doctor’s orders

1944

Erik is held captive by Schmidt for the next six years, subjected to frequent physical and psychological abuse in order to ‘strengthen’ his powers and improve his control over them. By the time he is seventeen he is capable of harnessing his abilities to perform to Schmidt’s standards, but lacks fine control over his mutation when not in a heightened emotional state. Throughout 1944 he is forced to work as a Sonderkommando alongside this. At the end of the war Schmidt takes him to a private facility in Germany, where Erik remains captive for the next several years.

Despite severe conditioning and traumatic bonding towards Schmidt, he makes a number of escape attempts throughout these years, as well as at least two attempts on Schmidt’s life.

Late 1949

The facility is bombed for reasons unknown to Erik. Erik escapes during the chaos, using his mutation to destroy anything and everything that stands in his way. As he flees, he looks back to see Schmidt absorbing an explosion. This is how he knows Schmidt is still alive afterwards, as well as having his longstanding suspicions confirmed that Schmidt, too, is a mutant.

Recovery and family years // v: we will not suffer here

1950

Having been on the run lest Schmidt attempt to track and hunt him down, Erik finally stops running for one reason only: by sheer chance, he reunites with Magda Eisenhardt. Both are overjoyed to see the other alive, and they marry the same year. Erik begins using the name Max Eisenhardt instead of his birth name. The two are impoverished and starving half of the time, but they make it work: Max manages to find steady work here and there, and the two settle in Vinnytsa to build a home and a family together. 

Summer, 1951

Anya Eisenhardt is born. Max takes work from anyone that will have him as he struggles to keep the family afloat, but the sheer relief of being alive and in a position where people may help them if things take a downturn is more than worth the struggle. Later in life, Erik considers these years the happiest of his life.

Late 1956

Their home in Vinnytsa is set on fire after Max magnetically hurls a crowbar at his boss for refusing to pay him when he and Magda are desperate for the money. Max is not present when the fire is first lit: he runs home upon seeing the smoke, and discovers that Anya is still stuck inside the house. Max attempts to save her, using his powers to tear the house apart, but it’s too late. In his grief and rage, Max lashes out with his powers, murdering his boss, the people responsible for the fire, and numerous innocent villagers in the process. When he calms and tries to go to Magda, she flees in terror, calling him a monster. Unbeknownst to Max, Magda is pregnant with twins at this time.

The Nazi-killing years // v: red right hand

Early 1957

With nothing left for him in Vinnysta and at a loss for what to do with himself, Max opts for the thing that living with Magda and Anya had allowed him to set aside: revenge. He begins his hunt for Schmidt, reclaiming the name Erik Lehnsherr in an attempt to shed the ghost of his former life with his family. He resolves to find Schmidt or die trying, and becomes unable to visualise a future outside of that.

Unknown date, 1957

Somewhere far away, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff are born, without Erik’s knowledge. Magda Eisenhardt dies soon after giving birth to them, and they are taken in by an elderly couple who raises them as their own.

1957-1962

Erik tracks Schmidt by hunting down former Nazis associated with him. He leaves a bloody trail across Europe in his search, leaving no survivors, and never settles in one place for long.

 XMFC timeline // v: first class

Early 1962

Erik attempts to kill Schmidt, now known as Sebastian Shaw, nearly drowning in the process of trying to drag his submarine up from the depths of the ocean. He is saved by Charles Xavier, working with the CIA. He allows Charles to bring him on-board the CIA’s ship, practically refusing to speak to anyone other than Charles and questioning him endlessly on his mutation as well as other mutants.

1962

Events of X-Men: First Class. Erik and Charles work together to locate other mutants, and the first group of X-Men are formed. The mutants work to hone their abilities, primarily with Charles’ assistance; Charles teaches Erik that pain and anger are not the key to unlocking his gift, and to help him, accesses a memory of Erik’s mother - one that, along with most of Erik’s memories from before 1944, had been repressed. Erik also forms a bond with Raven/Mystique, claiming that mutants should not have to hide who they are in order to be accepted by society.

October 28th 1962

Erik kills Sebastian Shaw with the coin he was ordered to move as a child. Erik proceeds to form the first incarnation of the Brotherhood of Mutants, taking the name Magneto. 

 Brotherhood years // v: rise up!

November 20th 1962

Magneto and the Brotherhood free Emma Frost, who joins them.

Following the events of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy administration authorizes the Central Intelligence Agency to establish Project WideAwake, a covert task force to investigate other X-Gene cases and their prevalence across the United States. While its mission strictly revolves around identification and research of mutants, it exercises paramilitary autonomy from the President’s mandates.

Edwin Partridge, a former Major General in the U.S. Army and a far right-wing activist, gains (through his contacts in the military) proof of mutant involvement during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

July 1963

Azazel and Angel are killed by Project WideAwake agents. Emma Frost is later killed by Sentinel prototypes.

November 22nd 1963

JFK is assassinated. Magneto has nothing to do with this because frankly it’s a stupid plot point, but is wanted for various terrorist actions related to pro-mutant shenanigans.

January 22nd 1964

Project WideAwake operatives are tasked with locating and apprehending Magneto. He is captured soon after.

February 11th 1964

A private trial takes place, which Charles Xavier and Hank McCoy are present for. Magneto is sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in a federal correctional facility without the possibility of parole, sparking the ‘Free Magneto’ movement.

 Imprisonment // v: isolation

1964-1973 Erik is imprisoned with only brief escapes over the course of nine years.

Early 1971 Having destroyed several prisons during the 60s, Magneto is finally permanently subdued by Trask Industries. He is placed in a specialised prison in the Pentagon, 1,320 ft below the Earth’s surface. It is composed of industrial-grade polymers and concrete.

1971-1973 Erik is kept in solitary confinement in prison (though he has been more or less stuck in one prison or another since 1964). He begins to speak almost exclusively in Yiddish and German, conversing with what he believes are ghosts of his parents (for whom he speaks Yiddish), and Schmidt (for whom he speaks only German). These are, of course, hallucinations, which he has experienced throughout his life in times of intense stress.

 Post-prison recovery years // v: the quiet years

1973 to unknown/variable date

Magneto escapes, somehow. He goes into hiding for a long-ass time and attempts to live a quiet, ordinary life, whilst also recovering from the isolation/prison-induced trauma of the past nine years. Charles Xavier is aware of his escape but chooses not to reveal it to the world so long as Erik does not resume his previous occupation of, uh, global mutant terrorist. At some point, Erik secures a safe haven for mutants on the island of Genosha, where he helps to build a self-sustaining community there.

Default timeline, aka mainverse // v: mutants are the future

Unknown/variable dates (these can literally take place at any time period after 1980 or so; the default is the present day)

Erik acts alone. The Brotherhood no longer exists, and Erik no longer lives in Genosha, though he visits it frequently and assists with its upkeep and maintenance when needed - as well as being more than willing to defend it, if necessary. Erik deals with threats to mutantkind as he sees fit, but is generally not the uh… comic-book villain he was post-XMFC. He and Charles Xavier are in contact with one another, and in some instances, Erik visits the school for a multitude of reasons.

20 years of artemis camera stabilizer systems

Celebrating the 20thanniversary of artemis camera stabilization technology, now part of the ARRI product family, and Arri Signature Primes its contributions to creative image making. In 2021 artemis celebrates 20 years of innovation in the field of camera stabilization technology. For the last five of those 20 years, artemis has been part of the ARRI product family, during which time it has reached new heights and been embraced by some of the world’s top filmmakers. The flagship product is TRINITY, the first hybrid camera stabilizer to combine classic mechanical stabilization with advanced active electronic stabilization. Complementing TRINITY are artemis vests and spring arms—all part of a complete and ever-growing system.

The driving force behind the development and success of artemis is Curt O. Schaller BVK, SOA, who is now Product Manager for Camera Stabilizer Systems at ARRI in Munich. Back in 1998, Curt was tinkering with his first artemis model and trying to generate interest in the industry. A key moment came when he took his handiwork to the Showbiz expo in New York that year, and was approached by Michiyo Funayama, who today, by a twist of fate, also works for ARRI—as a Local Business Development Manager at ARRI Japan.

In 2000 artemis was acquired by the German grip company Sachtler, and with the help of Sachtler engineers, the system was made ready for its full market launch at NAB 2001. Not only was artemis the first complete system of arm, vest, and rig manufactured in Europe, it was the first stabilizer designed for HD digital cinematography globally, using a patented HD wiring loom. Efficient battery management was also critical, since an HD camera drew around four times the power of a 16 mm film camera.

This HD capability, as well as the attributes Michiyo had recognized at Showbiz, helped artemis establish itself in the Japanese broadcast market, which was leading the world with HD capture. In collaboration with Japanese broadcaster NHK, artemis rigs were used at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

That same year, with the system gaining greater traction in Europe, a DP/camera operator named Igor Savatovic SOA took notice: “In 2004 I went to IBC to buy my first big stabilizer rig,” he says. “I saw Curt on his booth with the artemis and asked if I could try it out, and immediately he started putting the vest on me! The thing I remember is that he completely disassembled it first, and then adjusted it strap by strap as he helped me put it on. Nobody at any of the other manufacturers’ booths had done that, and for the first time in my life I felt completely comfortable carrying a rig. Having used his artemis rig for a decade, Igor Savatovic was shown TRINITY when it was still a prototype, but it was such a new concept that for a while he wasn’t convinced. Eventually, though, he decided he had to have one. “I had been operating for 20 years and it still made me happy, it’s all I want to do,” he says. “If you ask me, the last great job in the industry got an upgrade when TRINITY came along. I moved to Dubai eight years ago and working here has really proved the reliability of artemis and TRINITY. Sand gets into every part of the system, you just can’t prevent it, but the TRINITY has proved itself in all situations as a reliable tool.” Arri Alexa Mini Lf Rentals - ESPN was the first broadcaster in the United States to produce sports programming in HD, and artemis started to gain utilization on the east coast. An early adopter in this market was operator Frédéric Chamberland SOC, in fact he was the first North American to buy the complete artemis system. “It was my very first rig and one of the biggest purchases of my life at that point,” says Frédéric. “Naturally I was anxious about making such an investment without having seen the artemis in action, but I remember speaking to Curt on the phone and he answered all my questions. I bought the rig and am still operating an artemis TRINITY system today, with beautiful results. Curt has always stood by his products and I have to thank him for creating a system that evolves with the operator, and not the opposite.”

At the IBC show of 2015, the new artemis TRINITY stabilizer, developed in cooperation with FoMa Systems, caught ARRI’s attention and Curt found himself hosting a crowd of ARRI senior managers and engineers at the Sachtler booth. At the same show, ARRI was showcasing its new ALEXA Mini camera, which was a perfect companion for TRINITY, so the timing was serendipitous. ARRI entered into negotiations with Sachtler to acquire the artemis product line, and the deal was finalized in time for ARRI to display TRINITY as an ARRI product at NAB 2016.

Thanks to the partnership with FoMa, extraordinary products such as the ARRI SRH-3 and the SRH-360, as well as the high-performance external wireless modules ERM, have emerged over the past five years. The cooperation between ARRI and FoMa focuses on maximum functionality, with optimized workflows, in order to perfectly master the increasingly complex requirements of the cine and broadcast industry in the future.

In residence at ARRI, artemis has influenced other developments, such as the ARRI SAM plates and the decision to construct ARRI Signature Prime lens housings from magnesium to make them as lightweight as possible. Expertise in efficient battery management has also benefitted ARRI’s wider product line. All in all, artemis’ move to ARRI has been constructive for both parties. “ARRI has brought artemis to a level that nobody else could have,” says Curt. “We’re part of a bigger team here—a collection of smart people that you can talk to and collaborate with.” From its earliest days, artemis has been committed to education, not just sales, and always ran about six training sessions per year. The 20thanniversary is a celebration of the results of that training and assistance as much as of the products themselves. Many operators were helped into the industry by artemis, and have stayed loyal to the brand throughout their careers. This is a point of pride shared by ARRI, which also forges career-long relationships with filmmakers and nurtures emerging talent through the ARRI Academy and countless local initiatives worldwide.

Happy anniversary, artemis!

Back to the 50’s. Action From America’s Largest Street Rod Show.

There is no angel hair at Back To The 50’s. No velvet ropes and stanchions. No carpeted display areas or mirrors. Nobody goes home with a 3-foot-long cardboard check for $10,000 in prize money. In fact, there are no awards, trophies, plaques, or prizes at Back To The 50’s. There are street rods and street rodders—more of them than at any other enclosed event in America. In 2018, approximately 12,000 cars and trucks rolled into the Minnesota State Fairgrounds for the Minnesota Street Rod Association’s 45th annual party in St. Paul.

All those participants, combined with the commercial vendors, the Sunday swap meet crowd, and all those spectators, guarantee that for three days every summer, Back To The 50’s is basically the third largest city in Minnesota.

Back To The 50’s is not strictly limited to street rods. The show also welcomes customs, classic trucks, sports cars, Gassers, street cruisers, exotic cars, and a few that defy categories—as long as they are of 1964 and earlier vintage.

The 1964 cars and trucks that make up the newest participating vehicles were only 10 years old when the MSRA held the very first Back To The 50’s show back in 1974 in a shopping center parking lot. That premiere event, with approximately 150 vehicles, is a familiar part of Minnesota street rodding history now. It didn’t take long for the show to outgrow its original venue.

STREET RODDER was there in 2018, as we are every year, to take in all the fun and enjoy the cars, in addition to finding 10 outstanding rides for the Painless Performance Products/STREET RODDER Top 100 program and one Blue Oval vehicle for the Best Ford In A Ford program. Back To The 50’s is also a popular location for the STREET RODDER Road Tour every year.

Sunday Swap Meet The swap meet is a one-day-only part of Back To The 50’s. For sellers, it’s a chance to unload some unfinished—or unstarted—project cars. For buyers, it’s a chance to find parts for a homebuilt project, or to find something they didn’t know they were looking for until they saw it on a table or on a trailer. For us, it’s a chance to see potential rods of the future. We hope the raw material in these photos will be finished cars someday, displayed at shows and driven on the street.

STREET RODDER Best Ford In A Ford A Coyote-Powered, Homebuilt, Factory Five 1933 Roadster

When it comes to choosing Ford power for his street rod, Greg Root, our Best Ford in a Ford winner from Back To The 50’s, didn’t need persuading. Greg, from Lake Elmo, Minnesota, worked for Ford and Roush building prototype vehicles. His Factory Five 1933 Ford replica is the most recent of many Ford-powered FoMoCo vehicles he’s built and driven.

We encountered Greg’s Coyote-running roadster next to the Ford Performance Parts rig. With its pearl white ’glass body, contemporary wheel and tire combination, race-inspired cockpit, and modular engine, it’s a modern interpretation of a classic hot rod.

Greg likes Factory Five’s offerings and originally intended to build a 427 Cobra reproduction. Instead, he decided on the 1933 Hot Rod, which has a little more room inside. He said the styling and the fact that you don’t see many of them around, is part of the appeal.

Along with the body, Greg used Factory Five’s chassis setup, featuring a tubular frame, A-arm and coilover independent front suspension, and three-link rear suspension with coilovers. The Ford 8.8-inch rear with 3.86:1 gears and brakes came from a 1989 Mustang. Wide 255- and 305-series ZR-rated Nitto tires roll on 18- and 20-inch Super Nova 5 wheels from American Racing—complementing the contemporary classic theme of the roadster.

The interior features Factory Five’s race bucket seats and banjo-style steering wheel on an ididit column. Greg built the center console and dash and added the Racepak digital instrument display, push-button ignition switch, Vintage Air controls and louvers, USB ports, and Pioneer Mixtrax AV receiver.

Greg pulled the Ford 5.0L Coyote and six-speed from a 2014 Mustang. Troy Knutson fabricated custom mounts to perch the engine and transmission on the Factory Five ’rails, and DP Performance used SCT Performance tuning hardware to get the engine running perfectly. An active online community of Factory Five owners helped with suggestions when questions came up.

Greg enjoys showing and driving the roadster—but what he enjoys even more is turning wrenches in his basement shop. His mind is already onto the next project car. Maybe a GT40. Maybe with a Coyote engine. Definitely Ford in a Ford.

Nuff Sedd Customs honored Stack Calhoun’s request to build something “timeless” and “classy;” ’70s-era C10 olive green paint and cherry bedwood add to the exterior appeal. Two-tone pleated vinyl covers the bench seat. A 450hp 355 Chevy moves the C10 down the road at 2,000 rpm at 75 mph with the A/C and stereo blasting. “It sounds like a muscle car but drives like a Cadillac,” Stack says.

I wonder how old is the MC?

Very old. Centuries like around 800, however most of it was spent going through extreme trauma they don’t get to grow older than 45-50 before that occurs.

I would say the player character looks 25-35 depending on certain appearance choices.

I could maybe add the option to look older than that?

[if-divinepunishment]

Quick question as the angel of rage could you please tell us what are the prototype abilities?

Hello thank you for the ask!

A few of the prototype's abilities are -

The ability to influence other's and their emotions (specifically anger, rage, wrath and frustation. Especially in regards to Nyneve.

Ability to convince others to do things out of anger.

Depending on emotional state the prototype can experience surges of power, speed and enhanced senses.

Ability to overload ones senses (depending on willpower) and impact their ability to make decisions and fight back.

Unfortunately, this is the most I can provide at this time. A lot of the prototype's cooler abilities are locked behind spoilers.

[if-divinepunishment]

The MC/ The Prototype's playlist is now out, more song will likely be added soon!
