Some shots of Venus-

[agentldiddy]

The latest warframe update just made me realize how hilarious a lot of the worldbuilding for Deimos sounds. To count:

-it is the moon that holds the one power source for your main tool in the game

-it is completely infected by the cyborg disease that turns you into a flesh monster. To the point it has boils and organs

-one of the only safe spots is the home of a family consisting of members of a superhuman race that ran the most oppressive empire possible

-the family are all sticking out of giant flesh flowers and act like a sitcom about the least functional family possibly

-one member of the family helps organize a small guerilla warfare group that regularly sabotages the remnants of a cult that briefly took over the solar system (through what’s essentially future discord/zoom)

-another member bought a series of vents on a space evangelist’s slave colony on Venus so the homeless kids living there don’t have to worry about being evicted from there so they can continue setting up street races

-deep below the surface, the boyfriend of the family’s distant patriarch who discovered a parallel dimension that warps space was snoozing for millennia.

-said boyfriend is currently helping organizing a lab manned by talking animals made to safely send the patriarch to 1999 in order to distract an eldritch entity from the realm he discovered and fight off said entity as he sends his minions to tear the lab apart

-the only person who knows about this lab is a robot servant based off the boyfriend, who has a human skull embedded in him and a split personality that speaks through cracks on his back made to look like a face

-this planet lets you get mechs (with human skulls in the cockpits)

-during the event where a different member of the superhuman overlord race usurped an army of a vengeful robot race to take over the solar system, they completely avoided this moon like the plague (which is technically is)

-upon finding the lab you are given a book of spells

ranking up with the syndicate system in warframe feels so good. everyone likes me so much :) the people in the fishing village are nice to me and appreciate my help. people in the labor union on venus are getting out of debt. i’m a family therapist. i’m a research assistant. i’m a kaiju-ghost hunter. i’m the guiding light that keeps people from fading. i’m a cool older cousin to some hoverboarding kids in the air vents.

I was just thinking about the Warframes which are most within reach for new players and something dawned on me.

Venus has five warframes.

Most planets only get one or two, and some don't have any.

But Venus has FIVE warframes. Rhino, Garuda, Hildryn, Baruuk, and Yareli.

Why are there so many warframes on Venus?

How far are you currently with warframe and are you enjoying it? I saw that you started playing it/ wanted to start playing it, but didn't see any updates since then

hi! i'm enjoying it a lot! i'm still doing a lot of the early mission (like a few days a finished the quests from Saya i think so i can go to Venus) but it's toooons of fun :3

[riftwalker-limbro]

in the World of Warframe there's humans (or. adjacent) on pretty much all the planets, right? there's bases of grineer, corpus, presumably at one point of orokin, pretty much everywhere

and there's the difference of a closed-off, controlled base (ships, gas planet bases) versus one built on a planet that's like. tolerable (venus, earth, mars - the rocky boys. it's been too long since i've been to mercury perhaps that one too)

so wouldn't it be fun if there was like. a difference in the immune systems of people who were raised in completely controlled environments. versus those who were raised somewhere where there are uncontrolled spaces where. oh i don't know. germs and such could flourish

jupiter-born-and-raised jay would have SUCH a time adapting to rocky deimos is all i'm saying. yes it IS tiny enough to have (require) climate control like a ship. no it's IMPOSSIBLE to control All the rocky nooks and crannies. also that's a uni planetoid you're not telling me those snotty students aren't importing their germs from all over the solar system

pule who's from venus is torn between laughing his ass off at jay's third cold that month and being Genuinely Concerned (he does both. he hands poor jay the hot chicken soup Before he loses his shit)

ffxiv mod project, maybe?

there is a sizable mod scene for FFXIV, which primarily leans on Dalamud, a third party launcher which is able to hook in custom code to the game as it's running. it's crazy impressive, honestly - there's no dev kit because modding is against TOS, and everything about how the game works had to be reverse engineered from the binary.

the maintainers of Dalamud, understandably nervous about the risks of doing something that is against TOS, are pretty strict about what plugins they will distribute with the program. it's mostly limited to things like UI adjustments.

built on top of Dalamud is another layer of mods, particularly model and texture replacers. there's a stack of mods (Penumbra etc.) that set up this functionality, helpfully collected here. they will let you do stuff like replace your character model, replace gear, replace everything really on a per-character basis. of course there are a lot of nude mods, this is a mod scene and this is ffxiv - but i'm struck by the different sensibility that ffxiv players bring. frustrated by the lack of fat body types? you have several few options, plus the ability to scale parts of your character's skeleton to adjust them further. want a fluffier tail on your catgirl? want your character to be trans? someone's probably got you covered! have a look through aetherlink, xivmodarchive, glamour dresser and (of course) nexus mods.

compared to what we had back in the old days of Bethesda modding, it's an incredibly sophisticated system.

the jewel in the crown of all this is Mare Synchronos, which allows you to use mods to customise your character with new models and the like, and then synchronise your modded appearance to other players using a third-party server run by the devs. when you sync with another player, Mare Synchronos will helpfully download those mods into a folder, and set up your client to apply them to that player. so, this lets you have your modded appearance be seen by others, and only with your explicit consent. you can also create 'syncshells' which allow a whole group of players to synchronise; and many RP venues will run a syncshell.

so, naturally having encountered all this, I start thinking - can I make a mod?

as it turns out, Dalamud plugins are written in good old C#. this is the language I use at work in Unity (for now - Rusty days might be on the horizon), so getting started on this should be a piece of cake really. the question is what I want to do with it once I have got stuck in.

my biggest problem with FFXIV as it stands is like, having two characters interact through animation is a total jankfest. if you want to hug someone, you have to carefully line up your character so you're slightly clipping into them, and then hope that you're positioned right so that when your character hugs the air it's kind of around them. if you want to dance together, you need to try starting repeatedly until you happen to sync up.

in general though, getting two characters, whose sizes and positions are unpredictable, to interact in a realtime animation system is a surprisingly difficult problem.

in games like Dark Souls, when you backstab someone, both characters snap into a backstab position until the animation is over. doing this ensures the animation always lines up properly, but it does look a little silly when the enemy abruptly stops moving and slumps into their 'I am being backstabbed now' state.

even if you do this, animation is so finicky that it's easy to mess up. in Warframe, you can have a pet alien cat dog on your spaceship, and like all modern games must, you can pet the dog, which gives you a short cutscene. but even though the game has full control of both you and your dog, often this animation doesn't line up properly and your character will awkwardly wiggle their hand in the air a few feet away from their pet. this is partly because Warframe has to accomodate a huge range of different sizes of character model, but often it seems like the pet just ends up in the wrong place due to some other game system interfering with its placement.

in theory, you could improve on this by modifying the animations in real time using an Inverse Kinematics (IK) system to adjust the animation and make sure a given bone is in a given place. however, IK is more computationally expensive, and it can only go so far.

for an RP system, I think the way it would make sense for this to work is that you would grant another player consent to take temporary control of your character's animations when they play an emote. Then, we can author some specific multi-character animations, such as hugs, handshakes, dancing together, picking a character up off the ground, and so on. (the obvious use for this is ERP but like, there's way more you can do with it.)

to make this work, we send some kind of plausibly deniable signal through the game that the mod is able to pick up, such as a specific string in chat - or alternatively have a side channel like Mare Synchronos does, but using the game would be a lot easier if you can avoid detection. then, on a modded client, the mod would temporarily override your character's animation data to show you the modded animation, and relinquish it afterwards. to unmodded players, there would be no sign of the mod being used.

conceptually it's simple enough; the devil would be in the details. FFXIV players have already figured out how to modify animation data ingame in GPose, so looking at how that's done would be a good starting point. then, we need to load animations, intercept the game's rendering, and override the skeleton data. that's going to take some digging. we also need to figure out the right way to synchronise it and handle network latency. probably using /tell between players is the right way to go about it: the mod could intercept and remove its messages from the log, and noone else would see it. but this problem might have already been solved by other mods. we could also replace the game's existing emotes, e.g. replace hug with a custom hug.

after that, we'd also need to setup a format for loading sets of animation data, and making sure both players have the data to hand. (this could hook into mare synchronos, hopefully). so we'd need a protocol to handshake two modded clients.

along with all that, we'd need some actual animations! I could come up with a bunch, but to really thrive there would need to be an easy way for other animators to create and share their own.

but like this shit is literally my job lmao so I think I can probably figure it out. i'm gonna try and find out where the ffxiv modders hang out - and if I get anywhere with this project, I'll let you know...

[operat0r]

The Tenno holds no memory of who or what suggested he pay Cetus a visit. Were he the sort to gamble, he may have begrudgingly placed his credits upon the Lotus, who remains ever eager to tug his strings one way or another across the stars. The particulars of this memory escape him, as so many others do, and it is only when he is attending to his weapons in orbit of Venus does the thought of passing nearby Earth even occur to him.

Conferring with Ordis confirms that his docket, nebulous as it has been these past days, could certainly allow him a detour from wherever it is duty takes him next. The Tenno considers it while he oils the barrel of the Vectis he's taken to lately. Slowly, slowly, his ship crosses into Venusian night.

New Loka can wait. The thought of dealing with the Perrin Sequence agitates him more than he thinks he can bear. Of the Red Veil, he remains uncertain and uneager for rendezvous, overdue as it may be. So, the matter is settled.

"Set a course," the Tenno says aloud in a ship near silent as a grave, and he prepares himself for planetfall.

-------

The very last thing he takes note of is the smell of it all.

Fondness for Earth is more instinct than anything. It is the home he cannot fully recall, the mother he knows only through hearsay and missives and histories available to him only by other accounts. Its atmosphere is bruised with toxins yet to heal, ugly whorls that, he is told, once existed only in cautionary tales well before planetary invasion was ever a possibility. That the planet is now infested by Grineer boils something deep within the Tenno, hateful without truly knowing why. This, too, is an instinct so deep it may as well be primal, and as the orbiter peels beneath atmosphere and crosses before the face of a singular, tremendous tower of suspiciously Orokin design, he prepares himself for the worst.

He hears the ocean before he disembarks. He hears other things, too: the barking of people from across the settlement, the shriek and laughter unmistakably belonging to children no older than he himself once was before the Void cracked he and so many others open. The Saryn he commands this day, jet black and indomitable in combat, barely makes it off the landing pier before he is rushed by young faces - young human faces, who babble excitedly at him in a language he does not recognize. And when they are chased off, herded by an older woman built like a barrel, thick in the middle with arms that look as though they could bend steel, the Tenno can only stare. Dark smears of blue enshroud bright, steely eyes, as well as a brow the Tenno only belatedly realized is arched, unimpressed.

She lifts a meaty, beckoning hand, and then she is gone, swallowed by the course of natives and travelers both that pour into Cetus.

Outside his consciousness, the Tenno hears Ordis chirp, "Oh, doesn't this seem like fun?"

-------

The sight of other Tenno has long since ceased to fill him with wonder. Not that it really ever did after the first few encounters: the novelty of their misfortune and the realization that it is shared lost its luster quickly enough, and when he crosses them in the field or upon the relays, he himself tends to keep his distance.

Here, they are impossible to avoid. It is a far cry from the clinical cleanliness of the relays, with their broad bulkheads and pristine corridors. Here, the ocean itself is drowned out by more chatter than the Tenno can remember hearing in his life; here, the narrow passages between tables and stalls and craftsmen hunkered down on small, rough-spun rugs are teeming with Warframes and people alike. Someone cries out about knives and dashes of viridian, cerulean, the colors to make the eyes of a lover shine bright and brilliant. Another hoists a sliver of some sort of flesh for the Tenno to presumably appreciate, though the color of it is immediately off putting. People in bloodied aprons cry over people with sharp blades, and then the people with pottery and stoneware and small jeweled keepsakes join in the cacophony, loud as seabirds, louder than the sea itself.

It is alive in a way the Tenno cannot immediately parse. This small settlement persists at the very edge of a world that, for all the galaxy knows, no longer welcomes them. Yet still they smile and laugh and raise their hands to greet the metal-and-curse beings that mill amongst them, weapons of war with weapons of war strapped to their spines. Yet still they live.

It is unlike anything he can remember. It is too noisy and too wet and there is a smell, he realizes, of salt and animal blood and sweat and strange fruits and hearth-fire, a bouquet so strong compared to the sanitized and recycled nothing of his vessel that he genuinely fears it will imprint upon and stain his senses permanently, that anything and everything forever more shall be overpowered by the smell of Cetus.

Another Tenno, cloaked in the form of a Rhino, gently buffets him aside. He tracks their form to a narrow stall near the center of the thickest part of the markets, where a young human is masked in the crude but unmistakable affectation of a Trinity. Behind them, rows of other masks are loosely hung upon a rack, where the Tenno can recognize Volts and Mags and something else, bulbous about the brow like some deep sea fish. The Rhino gestures, says something the Tenno cannot hear, something that makes the young stall-keeper laugh bright and loud and shameless.

There are worse smells, the Tenno decides then, watching small, delicate things pass between hands both living and false. The Rhino holds a Volt mask with care, as though it were still a living thing and not just carved from formerly living things. There are worse smells, the Tenno decides, than salt and sea and life.

Crumbled up note with 'wlw and mlm dumbass solidarity'

Long standing Warframe OCs given actual (personal) canonical depiction - due to Duviri/New War giving a lot more leeway to preserve previous fan concepts intact and can play with canon easier. c: With 'Operator' as in-game storyline, and 'Tenno' as an alternate timeline where-in the results after the Zariman's return came out differently. Orb pondering rambling below -

Above is three depictions of Paeva 'Corvin' and Diviyoni-Jacob Warren; as operator, as drifter, as Tenno; with Warren's each having different 'called' names to better distinguish between them. Operator Warren is Jacob, Drifter Warren is Arali, Tenno Warren is Diviyoni. All are vertexes of Warren, but each having their own 'piece' in the story. They all were the son of a public figure and a military pilot, raised solely by their father, and stood alone on the Zariman and faced TMITW. Futures frayed, Arali cast to the drifts holds the remnant of the suffocated possibilities, and makes the link between Jacob and Diviyoni.

A lone fray links (operator) Paeva's involvement decided fate - and Diviyoni is what becomes if Warren hadn't been taken under Margulis' wing. Of many on the Zariman, few survived for it to break through, and fewer to be directly protected by Margulis as the Old War raged on. As Jacob learned by careful tending nurture; Diviyoni learned by brute force and unabated trauma.

Too long to pin in the details, the later was already subject of a nearly 183k word fanfiction series [ found here as Warren: Sprout ]. To draw it short, Diviyoni would only later be taken into the fold of the Lotus' system wide network in his late teens - where (tenno) Paeva would be his direct contact to learn the ropes. In this time he better tended to his psychological and emotional issues, and persuaded his interests in warframe morphology and finding ways to help severely wounded ones recover (especially those not tied to a survivor of the zariman).

The most prominent ones were; Kiln - a towering Oberon that waited beside their deceased operator in a severely damaged Orbiter with their companion warframes too far gone to save. Arkis - a less-than friendly asocial Nova he rescued from a corpus stronghold after an argument with his father-figure; and Malaphin.

Most of following also found on [ Diviyoni's Toyhou.se page ]

(Tenno) Paeva was strict under the Lotus purview, she was a loner through-and-through but was asked to mentor Diviyoni on procedures as they were still recovering from Lua being pulled from the Void. And thus Diviyoni hid a second vessel from her to help foster a home for warframes to retire from the constant wars. He held up taking missions between working on it, but as he took preoccupation to ease Malaphin from the ties of corrupted arboriforms, it became more noticeable he was abandoning his post.

They fought. Tempers, philosophy, morals, and fists until Paeva's chosen frame stepped in - Varik, a beefy Nova she had a close bond with. As being Unairu, tempered to endure and keep standing, Diviyoni won out. Even if it was an underhanded tactic to override Paeva's somatic signal, it was to protect those he cared about.

Paeva left, tail between her legs, and chose to vanish. And re-evaluate her choices.

Between then and the Heart of Deimos, Warren would hone his abilities to repair Malaphin whom he became close to. To where the 'second vessel' outgrew him, and he would set out with Malaphin to take odd jobs in the same venue his father figure (T'viska) would.

[ Following goes over the events in 'Within the heart of Deimos, and soul of the void' fanfic on Ao3]

At Deimos, he would face the prospect of his history as being the son of a public figure of the dead Orokin empire. To confront the phantom that hung at the edges of his vision since he was swallowed by the void a second time by the explosion of a liset. Arali, the haunting in his vision, held all the pain he swallowed down through his torment through the Old War, were a fraction of him torn by the void. He stood before his reflection in the void, held out his hands, and embraced the pain that stood before him.

And after, he would settle into the arms of his companion, his partner, his lover, Malaphin once more.

Arali would give him his arm in trade to help their younger self, reluctant, but settled as it means Jacob would be spared of further childhood trauma as they had not a father figure in a loki - paternal love not tied to enduring the trauma of repetitive deaths as warframes - but in a mother figure in the echo of Margulis, in the Lotus whom cared for every single one who survived the Zariman.

Hey I’ve realised something kind of terrifying that could potentially happen in Psychonauts

So, we know that in Psychonauts, the brain and the body are separate entities in a way. Everything that makes a person who they are is stored in the brain, and that can be removed, in which case the person stays where their brain is and their body goes on without them

Alright, stay with me here. I don’t know much Warframe lore, but the little I do know is about this city on Venus called Fortuna. Everyone there is a debt slave, and their body parts and organs are repossessed when they can’t pay off their debt. It can eventually get to a point where they get brain shelved, which is exactly what it says on the tin. Their head is removed and put on a shelf, and their body is left as a mindless drone. Idk if I’m getting that 100% right, but that’s the general gist of it

That could theoretically happen in Psychonauts. If someone were to steal a lot of people’s brains and figure out how to manipulate the bodies in some way, they would end up with however many mindless drones to do whatever they want with. If there hasn’t been at least one supervillain who’s tried this, there should be

About OC ask

2, how they hugging (if they even hugging with someone. And why if they do not)

Sorry for taking so long!

So since its more of a question (and I couldnt really figure out a proper situation where this character would express it as a journal entry) I'll directly answer it by saying that no, he does not hug other humans due to his...rather reclusive nature.

However, not to leave you empty handed, I have written an entry that I originally inteded to be the answer, before realizing it doesn't really fit the actual prompt given, alongside a small character summary. So, without further ado:

A chronicler's research notes

Chapter: Orb Vallis/Venus

Cycle: 54

Research subject: Common Vallis Kubrodon

Begin note recording in 3...2...1...

*click*

(sigh)

Venus, a place of many test...One day, It is one's cold tolerance. Another...one's bargaining ability with local Corpus forces to ensure their neutrality. But on days like this, I really wonder...

(a multitude of low, non-aggressive barks can be heard, echoing against the cave walls)

I consider myself a Kavat person. How could I not, faced with their serene beauty and graceful, yet lethal nature? And yet, the Vallis seems intent on breaking this conviction of mine, like it would break the body of a soul used to warmth...

(a singular bark can be heard, followed by a whining sound)

Yes, yes, little one...Fret not, you will get your share as well...

(The sound of objects clattering against the floor, followed immediately by the sound of bone beinf crushed)

The local Solaris wildlife expert warned me these creatures were agressive and territorial and that they only show respect to, and I quote, 'the strongest of the strong'. I will probably have to ask him to arrange follow-up consultations to discuss such...abnormal behavior. Though, there is another possibility...But, surely they cannot be so perceptive as to-

(The whinning sound returns, with a few intermitten a few barks)

What is it you seek now? Can't you see I'm-

(Again the sound of skittering paws, followed thump, a human yell, and the sound of something hitting the floor)

Ow...You little...

(Another bark)

Fine, but you should consider yourself fortunate that It would even cross my mind to give you affection after these shenanigans! At least Kavats don't throw you to the ground as a gesture of friendship...

(A bark)

Hold on, first I have a recording to conclude...

Ahem, it would appear that...unfavorable recording conditions have been reached. I will continue once I return to Fortuna. As for this video, hopefully I remember to set it for deletion. What a waste of memory...

*click*

Summary: The Chronicler is a pseudonym known by many local experts across the System. Be they Grineer or Corpus, Ostron or Solaris, most have heard of a certain Tenno seemingly uninterested neither in loot nor bloodshed...But rather in preservation. When asked, he simply shrugs, replying that he considers it his 'duty' to record and chronicle the many wondrous events, regions, objects and lifeforms across the System. Questions regarding his true name or even Warframe have similarly yielded little results, implying this Tenno child possesses neither. Most perculiar of all though, is that no other Tenno, even those whose memories from before The Collapse have remained intact, seem to have any idea of who this Chronicler figure is, leaving many to ponder at his true identity.

I should do stuff in character or smth

Write about my Operator (Gamma) and my Drifter (Steel) or something

But also I gotta actually nail stuff down for them. All I have is that they're from Venus (Gamma's first like... Augmentation were her eyes) and that Gamma prefers a Necramech to a Warframe (she uses the Bruntspar Voidrig and Gauss Nitrolyst)
