B4r-b1e wakes up from cryogenic suspension with a steel-reinforced spine, a metal jaw, indestructible limbs, infrared eyes, an internal UI, and little left of her humanity but the will to survive. She remembers a cul de sac. A beautiful house. A man…Ken?
This is Iri (they/them) they were born on the Stratospheric and they want to be a teacher

Iridescent (Iri)
Name Origin: having a shimmer that seems to change colors at different angles
Augment: Heightened empathy
Iri has always had a deep fascination with everything the world has to offer, and a never ending desire to learn. Iri is the type to remember insignificant things about another person, the way they fiddle with their fingers or how much sugarbug syrup they want in their blep tea. They love everything, from the smallest bug to the biggest stars. As much as it seems like it, Iri doesn't go through rose tinted glasses, they simply choose kindness as a form of resilience.
Iri is always there as a shoulder to cry on, but because they know the weight of other's feelings, it makes it hard for them to do the same.
looking at fanart of the presaux team together is so funny because you'll be like omg look at them all!!! there's mensah, that one's pin-lee, and that's ratthi of course. and there's arada and overse, you can tell it's them cus they're posed together, probably also next to ratthi, no clue which one's which but they look great,
A ruthless mercenary, skilled enough to solo an entire Spaceport of MCs and other ACs, demonstrating what makes them a feared and high priority target amongst the PCA.
Or...
A brain-fried nobody who just found a chainsaw in the trash an hour ago.
Just finished this painting of Atropos, sandsurge tech enthusiast! I adore augment as a gene... its so cool... and I love the goth gloves it gives Sandsurge!! Atropos shows them off very well here.
//I am alive, but I am also in graduate school... I’d love to write more, but to be frank...
I’m, as mentioned, in graduate school and also work in association with that.
I’m staunchly 2011 Viktor, which is now two Viktors behind the current one. (Let’s not kid - even if 2016 is still the most recent non-Arcane lore, everyone assumes Arcane is canon or will be, and Prototype Viktor being classified in the “Otherroads” skin category, alongside things like Tyrant Swain and Redeemed Riven, does not inspire confidence.) Interest is low.
I’ve unfortunately had some unpleasant experiences on Tumblr, which make me not very inclined to reach out to new individuals that I haven’t seen around or know as a friend of a friend.
I’m not closing up shop, of course, but it’s hard to do blog housekeeping or do updates when you’re trying to get everything offline in order... If there’s worldbuilding questions people have, I’d love to answer, if there’s RPs people would want to have, it’s worth a shot to reach out. I’m just, ah, tired. The last year has been quite intense both from a League and a real-life perspective.
I adore how unhinged Garak is about the people he likes, because there's this theme of them being similarly unhinged. Like that colleague from the Order in Second Skin that he had to shoot and was like, "Aw :( ...Well Anyway" about. Or like Tain and Mila, both crazy bitches, imo. Or his last remaining contacts on Cardassia who he called up in In The Pale Moonlight who were all down to raid the Dominion’s underwear drawer at the drop of a hat. Like that's what Garak is used to. He likes excitement, he likes a bit of malice, he likes some cunning. And that's part of what makes Garashir so goddamn funny is Julian is actually a bit of a cunning, malicious little shit sometimes. If you watch the series knowing Julian's an augment, these moments come up all the time where it's clear he's fucking with people for his own amusement. Taking people for a bit of a ride just to see what happens. Then ofc there are all the gross incel fuckboy moments, but.
I just love the idea of Julian going on some insane borderline villainous monologue about something or other and Garak sitting there with hearts swirling around his head. Don't get me wrong, Garak loves Julian for his goodness first and foremost, but Julian's not perfect and I think that makes the ship so much more interesting because I can't really see Garak finding most of Julian's worst flaws anything but thrilling. We go on about Garak loving Julian's infodumping and argumentativeness, but after the augment thing comes out, I think he equally enjoys watching Julian play dumb with people and Knowing he's playing dumb. It compliments his own Just a Simple Tailor routine so perfectly. They're just normal men. Just innocent men.
