click to continue! hopefully updating with more art/details shortly Music is Pyrefly Forest - Cat's Cradle from the Omori ost ------------------------------------------------- Fortress Angel: The angel is a mechanical marionette and a generator that may be drawn upon to enhance the effectiveness of tools or armour worn by others within the tide faction. It does not fight unless under attack, and does not collect cores. The Fortress Angel keeps itself to a large chamber underground which it does not leave, though it may be stationed elsewhere if defending something other than its core takes higher priority. The angel's location is exposed to whomever may vie for this core, but those that would seek the ward core, the heart of the Fortress Angel and a vow of protection, should expect it in turn to be well defended. ------- Voiyot: Voi is an ecstatic program who orbits the Fortress Angel. They show up in random places a lot, whether as a messenger or by their own curiosity, and are very unlikely to attack. If explicitly targeted, their screen can be destroyed fairly easily, but they are always quickly reconstructed by the angel. The contrast between the two has occasionally called into question the FA's dedication to and reasoning behind rebuilding Voiyot at all. ------------------------------------------------- Star marks: Stars, upon infliction, are permanent- though they do not do anything to the bearer and are rendered effectively invisible whenever the bearer is not in proximity of the Fortress Angel. Every time a star is drawn upon to power something, the energy left for subsequent uses from that star halves. The fortress angel does not function very well on low energy. ------- Sword: An adjustable sword made effectively weightless by the disconnect between its blade and its handle. Stars formed from harm caused by this weapon usually retain higher concentrations of energy.
