i learned that Binghamton University researchers have been working on a self-healing concrete that uses a specific type of fungi as a healing agent. When the fungus is mixed with concrete, it lies dormant until cracks appear, when spores germinate, grow and precipitate calcium carbonate to heal the cracks (x)

Trying my hand at some Chain OCs (loosely based on a couple of characters a friend and I made years ago)

The Twins (Mercy and Truth)

Tieflings 

No consensus who is Twin 1 and who is Twin 2

Met the Chain of Acheron in Alloy towards the end of the Company’s time there; it’s unclear how long they had lived in the Burning City, and some things indicate they’ve also spent some time in Hell

Tend to wear loose fitting, light linen clothing indicative of Alloy (unless Matt Colville specifies otherwise)

Heavy accents (Infernal and Primordial)

Will talk about their past, but it usually sounds absurd and the story is often left unfinished as one of the twins will either trail off or be interrupted by the other (but as crazy as it always seems, they haven’t contradicted themselves yet)

Like to tease each other and bicker a lot, but are extremely protective of one another

Trust Issues (but the Chain is growing on them)

Don’t like to stay in the same place for too long, and are generally excited to travel to new places and see strange things

Don’t actually like taking orders and will be petty about it

Afraid of heights

Such stupid kids tbh

Mercy

Phoenix Soul Sorcerer

Chaotic Neutral (Evil leaning)

5’, she/her, unnatrual white skin, silver hair, black horns that start at her temples and sweep back along the sides of her head, magenta eyes with black sclera, tail that tapers flat like a thresher shark

Eyes occasionally glow, the center of her irises turning white, fading to yellow, orange, and finally back to magenta (as per her subclass flavor)

Burn scars

Nicknamed by her brother sarcastically and now she’s stuck with it; “You may call me Mercy, but don’t expect me to have any.”

A little sadistic, but can be kept in check (give her a reason to and she will set you on fire though)

Sites her brother as her moral compass

Honest (unless she’s covering for her brother)

Reckless

Smarter than her brother (by like 1 but likes to remind him of it)

Cheeky and likes to get the last word (occasionally by any means necessary); particularly sharp tongued when on the defensive

A good bet if your goal is destruction

Would call Big Cat a pretty kitty

Truth

Inquisitive Rogue

Chaotic Neutral

6’1”, extremely dark grey skin, black hair, bone white horns that start at his temples and arch up and curve over the top of his head, magenta eyes with black sclera, tail that tapers flat like a thresher shark

Missing a chunk of one of his horns

Nicknamed by his sister sarcastically and now he’s stuck with it; “You may call me Truth, just don’t expect me to share it with you.”

Compulsive liar, but doesn’t lie to his sister (not as of yet anyways)

Huge flirt (his sister sometimes plays his wingman)

Sneaky son of a bitch

Somewhat cautious

Older than his sister (by only a few minutes but likes to reminder her of it)

Definitely knows Mercy’s True Name

Has a misshapen pearl earring he got when he beat Mercy at chess (or Orden equivalent) as she was using it as her queen; he claims it reminds him of her

Some songs that give me vibes for these characters:

Hey Brother - Avicii Alone Together - Fall Out Boy Heathens - Twenty One Pilots Red Hot Lights - Moon Taxi all the good girls go to hell - Billie Eilish Horns - Bryce Fox The Patron Siant of Liars and Fakes - Fall Out Boy

Chain of Acheron, Helltrooper Paisley. “Sometimes the only way to win is to not play at all.” Riojan Human Illusionist. NG. Raised in Capital. Just his luck that he’d be dragged back. Spellbook is half old notes, half trial and error. Lucky that he was born Riojan, because at least he can poke some holes in people when his parlour tricks don’t work. Joined the Chain to distance himself from who he was in Capital.  Stuck in Vasloria, looking for a) more surviving Helltroopers and b) a captain who’s not too fond of Ajax and is willing to cross the Bale Sea. One heckin’ lanky boi. Singer, Art Snob Extraordinaire . Wore a stupid fucking scarf the day he joined and now its a Signature Look and he Can’t Escape It.  Big Older Brother Energy. >”I swear, you should have seen my swordsmanship when I was a young man!” >Is still a young man.  Includes the Khoursirian Demon of Fog in his prayers; spent too much time with that mystic not to at least say thanks. Radiating Aura of Self Confidence (Unique Riojan Passive) I don’t do moodboards, but since I’m not an artist and I felt like giving some rough notes on the aesthetic I thought why not. So I was going to type out a huge chunk of backstory I had for this character, but then I realied a) that wouldn’t be fun to read or write and b) it was kind of missing the point to write about small details of who he was before, because Helltroopers leave that behind. Anyway, to those who know me it won’t be a surprise that this character is an Illusionist, seeing as that is my favourite class/subclass. The name “Paisley” for a Wizard, and even some of the broader strokes to the backstory, were bouncing around in my head for months before the Chain, but there was something about reading Matt’s document he gave the players for their character creation that made me go “Oh fuck, there’s so much that works in this,” so this is what took form, really. The concept of an Illusionist being told by loved ones to leave a Machiavellian city of the Great Game to deprive any player of a potential piece has kind of stuck with me as a PC idea for a while, and Capital is 100% the kind of thing I was imagining.

good news everyone. crows no longer need instructions to build tools and have started building them from memory, as well as passing the knowledge onto future generations of crows. oops!

be nice to goblins or taste my blade

love the idea that infernal is a language tieflings don’t have to learn, they just have it built in from birth, and they quickly discover that they can say anything they want out loud in infernal, since almost nobody else understands any of it.

thieves have thieves’ cant, tieflings have the secret language of satan
