💫Metamorphosis of a Soul: Races💫

First OC infodump whooo!! Metamorphosis of a Soul (or MOAS for convenience), is an upcoming comic based off my old AU (if you know you know). The story follows two brothers, who accidentally stumble upon a city of monsters and are now cursed to become monsters themselves. It’s a series with lots of diverse characters, inspired by mythology and cryptozoology, so it’s only fair that’s the first post I make about it describes all sorts of creatures in this made up universe.

Quick word about humans and monsters because there’s not much I can say here. They used to live in peace, until one day a war broke, and, when humans came out victorious, monsters fled, cursing every human that dares to come to their lands. Both humans and monsters have souls (as everyone does in this universe, as you may have guessed from the title) that look like orange flame. Monsters are naturally gifted with magic, and their souls (and, by proxy, their bodies) have little to no reaction from being exposed to it. On the other hand, humans are not born with magic skills (just like in our world), and even though they can study magic, and use spells and potions - exposing a human to too much magic can lead to causalities. Speaking of…

Changeling in MOAS universe is an umbrella term used to describe either fairie/monster kids/teens disguised as humans with illusion magic, or humans kids/teens, transformed into monster-like creatures due to some magic incident. Humans can only become changelings in their early life, while their bodies are still developing, and thus, can be reformed by magic - adults usually don’t survive such accidents and, instead of transforming into monsters, die.

While changelings are usually cursed human kids - shapeshifters in MOAS universe are usually cursed monster kids. Instead of losing their humanity, they lose their whole identity - all shapeshifters look the same and can only copy the appearances of others, making it hard for them to go back to living a normal life. Some higher class shapeshifters can get actor jobs or pay some witch to revert the transformation - but the majority of shapeshifters, who are lower class, usually become thieves just to make the ends meet. This makes shapeshifters hated and oppressed by all groups, even ones that claim to be a safe space for everyone

Last but certainly not least - ghosts - monsters&humans, who were poisoned by a deadly potion. Their souls resemble a candle’s smoke, and can be blown off just as easily, which would get rid of the ghost for good. However, many scientists experiment with ghosts, trying to make their form more stable, in hopes of achieving immortality one day. But, despite all efforts, the results are anything but stable - the ghost can possess objects, but will eventually suffer full memory loss; or it can possess a living being, but eventually the body will start to rot

Another thing people experiment with are homunculi - artificially created humans and monsters. It is usually practiced by couples who can’t have a baby due to medical (infertility) or physical incompatibility (interspecies/interracial relationships) reasons, but still want to have a biological child - which, homunculi are, since their creations requires samples of both parents (usually stuff like hair/teeth/nails + bones/fleshy body parts). The result will look like a horrendous skeleton-like amalgamation BUT it can be reshaped into something that looks just like regular humans/monsters and be raised accordingly. Homunculi have souls that look like blue flame, and are even more sensitive to magic than regular humans - so keep an eye on your baby if you don’t want anything bad to happen to them.

ok i think that’s all for now next post will be about magic systems or the main characters or whatever you’re interested in byeeee

More Lore for Bayonetta 3!

[[I might get some weird looks from Bayo fans if I said I loved Singularity as a villain (his dark humor is just so sassy, especially the scene where he made the French soldiers dance). But because Bayonetta 3 in general left a lot of questions unanswered about the story, I decided to give Singularity more lore, in the form of the notebooks we would find throughout the game. I thought it would be kind of interesting if we found notebooks from a scientist who had accidentally created Singularity or someone who had witnessed it from beginning to end]].

Many may wonder whether magic or witchcraft actually exists in our world, whether they are real or just a superstition of society? Or perhaps beings that whisper in our ears to do good or evil. In my research I have worked with a few organizations investigating these superstitions and as thought there really are beings walking invisibly in our world, in an accurate representation of demons or angels you read about in old books! They can be above, beside or below us and we would not notice anything except just feel their presence!

Science can be so fascinating and exquisite that I have decided to write down my research in notes, even if it means breaking the strict rules of my superior. Such a phenomenon that mankind has achieved must be recorded, as our will has brought us this far to create something that surpasses even magic in the afterlife!

However, this interesting research was interrupted for some time because there were some "accidents" when we tried to capture and study these beings. We have tried to use sophisticated glasses to locate and study these beings and well... if I should put it right, many of us don't come into God's garden when we die. The invisible beings we call demons seem to be much more aggressive so we have rarely approached them.

But now that I think about it I can swear as a child I would have seen these beings many times but unfortunately lost that gift as an adult...I can swear I had an invisible friend as a young boy that I called Gabriel, he had beautiful white wings and looked like a big bird...but maybe I was just imagining it.

But now to the main point of my research, which was actually very top secret, that every little word could cost you your life [but I hope that nobody will get hold of these notes except if suddenly the catastrophe will come and these notes might be useful, which is a very small chance that this will happen, I hope]

Exactly two days ago we managed to create a real Homunculi! [Accidentally even, because of a small accident that happened at our station] One that could think and analyze like an advanced AI, not like the early Homunculi prototypes that didn't work properly and still require high energy to function [But I'm working day and night to finally find the necessary energy key to these bioweapons that could control them en masse without requiring much energy, an advanced mother computer would be perfect to control these weapons with a long loop on their back]

My team and I were amazed that through a stupid misunderstanding we created such a AI, for some reason I felt proud and powerful, more powerful than God who could not create life the way we did. My team didn't understand the admiration I felt towards this AI, many of them were sure that this being we created had no will, so it wouldn't think of subjugating its creators. But I completely disagreed, this AI was more than that.

We have created something with a will.
