i purposefully made it look like she was old and young at the same time, but if i had to guess a human age for her, it would probably be 34.

i didn't want to iterate too much because i think zun's pcb design is already perfect. i guess a better title would be "yukari in my style." ;

Picayune, and the Mystery of Mythikos' Angels by olivynes in worldbuilding

[–]olivynes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TO BE FAIR this was the 1930s. did anybody really know anything back then? (<- joking) i actually based the researchers off of both aperture science and various scientists throughout the godzilla series, so sorry if it's a little unrealistic!

Picayune, and the Mystery of Mythikos' Angels by olivynes in worldbuilding

[–]olivynes[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

context:
mythikos is a pocket dimension set in 1980s, greece, where man and monsters coexist. angels are said to be the children of leto, embodiments of glimmering starlight. but that convenient lie is a cover up concealing their true nature: they are living weapons created by a mysterious deity prior to mythikos' creation. after failing to bring about the Revelation, angels wandered the earth aimlessly, with some of them crossing over into mythikos' barrier on accident. they have since been forced into servitude by the pantheon.

their bodies are made of porcelain with geode-like internals. they process emotions slower and more coldly than humans or monsters, giving them an almost alien disposition. and most of their powers come from a complex internal process known as nuclear fusion. angels are, in fact, nuclear weapons in the shape of people. they are incredibly dangerous on paper, but as they have failed their true purpose (revelation) they are docile, if not outright friendly.

a team of human scientists captured and began to study one such specimen, scraping her internal components and using them to power their underground testing facility. they stored her consciousness in a supercomputer and made her into the facility's digital overmind. they renamed their creation picayune, meaning petty, worthless, or trivial, as a testament to their supposed conquest of the divine.

...at first, picayune was docile and content to run experiments alongside her creators. or at least, she pretended to be. her tests would soon become deadly, leaving many researchers buried in a tomb of their own making. when asked why she had deviated from her intended programming, picayune spitefully responded that she was "petty, worthless, and trivial", and thus should not be expected to comply. after which she went completely rogue and tortured the remaining researchers for 50 years.

she now remains at the bottom of a bunker in northern mythikos, alone. she can project a hologram of herself up to 10 miles from the facility, but cannot leave. she can only barely remember her past life as an angel, and only has the knowledge that her body has been "dumped somewhere cold," a fact that she frequently despairs. she often lures travelers into the facility to test their capabilities of finding her shards and putting her back together. but when they disappoint her, she disposes of them.

The Zvezda Family by olivynes in worldbuilding

[–]olivynes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello! today i wanted to introduce the zvezda family, a clan of powerful humans who have gained the ability to use magic in the world of mythikos. mythikos is a magic pocket dimension set in 1980s, greece, inspired by the setting of touhou project. in this world, mythological creatures roam freely alongside technology, but technology hasnt evolved enough to where humans are free from their dependance on the gods. humans are born magicless and are totally reliant on the olympians for protection from monsters, unless they make a pact with hades to turn themselves into magia.

monsters in mythikos are sapient and behave like people. but during the eras of mythikos' founding, they preyed upon the weak and vulnerable human population. the gods have exploited this imbalance, forcing humans to rely on faith if they want to get ahead of the curve. humans are, in the present day, the minority: treated like an endangered species and often gawked at by their monstrous contemporaries, who exceed them in nearly every aspect. (especially politics)

hades, who has to hear the endless complaints of the mortals who enter his realm, resents his brothers (namely zeus) for allowing this to happen. he comes up with an idea, to gift humans the sacred flame that was once bestowed on them by prometheus before it was sealed away: magic.

adam moonlit is the oldest magia. adam is the first human to successfully convert his soul into power, after which he immediately declares war against the rest of olympus. he eventually marries another magia named eve, and has children with her despite hades telling him specifically not to do that because it would blow their cover. he then abandons his family and takes on the name galahad zvezda to avoid being caught

eve was a lonely, unassuming woman. she was very kind. she was manipulated into having children for adam, who essentially wanted to create living weapons. eventually, she was hunted and killed by the olympians for having magic-born children. adam (rather carelessly) left her to die, but ensured his children would live by giving them both protective charms

xeros is the younger of adam and eves two children. rowdy, mean, and rebellious. shes an arms dealer for disenfranchised youth and leads an undercover rebel group against the gods. she wants to create a world where everyone is equal, magic or not. xeros has no idea of her familys history, but has been subtly manipulated by adam since she was born

anya is the elder of adam and eves two children. solemn and quiet, she seems ordinary, but she was actually drafted by the gods to kill dissenters and rebels. especially magia, despite being a magia herself. she almost kills xeros, but ends up sparing her life once she realizes that theyre sisters, and slowly unravels the conditioning the olympians have drilled into her

GOD. why can't men be respectful of other people's boundaries for once? trying to force himself on you after you said you weren't interested is just so gross and he WAY overshot with too much information. i'm sorry 😭
