"She's A Walking Fucking Warning Is What She Is. Something You Can Tell Your Kids About So They Don't
"She's a walking fucking warning is what she is. Something you can tell your kids about so they don't go fucking with the transport vehicles, so they stay away from the facilities. I mean, she should have died, but I guess this makes a better story, huh?"
Desmona (she/her), the outcast turning to the desert to survive.
Info:
Was the third to join the group, initially it was just her, Sprocket, and Glass
Used to live in a mining town where they were drilling the liquid, magical energy substance that sits mostly under the surface of the planet
During an accident where one of the vehicles transporting this substance crashed, spilling out its contents, Desmona came in contact with a high amount of it
Instead of killing her, as it most certainly should have, it became a part of her
The energy is wild, impossible to control. It bursts out of her randomly and destructively, and she was driven out of her town as a result
Sprocket and Glass found her not long after
Glass is immune to the magical energy she can't help but wield, and Sprocket is somewhat resistant towards it
She latched onto them quickly because of that, glad to be around people she couldn't hurt
Sprocket and Glass eventually made the armor that can help contain the magic
Desmona is fairly withdrawn, especially around new people
When the group needs to travel into towns, she usually keeps to herself
She knows her mask makes her look somewhat strange and off-putting, and she's VERY happy to lean into that
She's very sweet though, despite all that
She gets along well with both Sprocket and Glass, but she's especially close to Glass
Since Glass is very curious about humans and different cultures and food and languages, Desmona is happy to teach em what she knows. She picks up on sign language pretty fast so they can talk without having to go through Sprocket.
They do a lot of cooking together
She also learns how to wield a spear from Glass
Desmona is very much a pacifist, but she knows it's important to protect herself, and it feels good to be able to do that in a way she can control
She doesn't want to hurt anyone, and hates the fact that now it feels like some kind of default state for her

I was scrolling through your blog and saw a yellow themed ask game. Are you still taking questions for that?
Yeah go for it! I don't really consider ask games to have an expiration date, as long as I remember what you're talking about lol
So it looks like NaNoWriMo are happy to have AI as part of their community. Miss me with that bullshit. Generative artificial intelligence is an active threat to creativity and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people in creative fields.
Please signal boost this so writers can make an informed choice about whether to continue to take part in such a community.
Hold my hand
Ooo baby it's a long way down

Some scattered thoughts about Desmona's mask, why she wears it, and how she got it.

Lineart for what will eventually be a painting of my latest DnD character, Xylem!
Xylem is a wooden robot traveling through a post-apocalyptic, mushroom filled landscape. As they go from town to town, they write down what they see, interview locals, and record the story of a world living in the shadow of what it once was. She's accompanied by a weevil friend, Phloem, who has decided she's close enough to a tree, and bores holes in her outer casing to reside inside.
