It's pyrope.5A *^* this character actually used to be arsenic.exe, but since I lost interest in their original "backstory"/origin, i decided to rename them and make them into a new character with mostly the same personality, and so i made a new reference picture too they're in the same "family" of positronic units as another character i made recently, cinnabar.4B (who i will try to draw a thing for... eventually... ;_; )

I've been meaning to make a post like this for.... a while, but i'm so lazy ;_; Anyway yaya I draw sometimes, I need to draw more than I have been, but shh. ANYWAY, LET'S GET TO IT, with some stuff i doodled up to put in my chars' flavortexts recently (because having reference pictures is nice) here's seven! and STERLING! Aaaand Arsenic.exe! (they just get smaller and smaller for some reason...) aaand since i've noticed people seem to ask me about S.A.M. quite a bit, here's a gif of him i made a while back, 'cause it's sparkly and nice. and that's all i got for now. i really need to draw more ;_;

First Name: [EXPUNGED] Last Name: Williams Gender: M Orientation: Heterosexual Nicknames/Alias: Slade Picture(If Available): Age/D.O.B: [EXPUNGED] Place Of Birth: Eastham, Massachusetts, Earth Species: Human/IPC Blood Type: A/B+ Alignment: Neutral Good / Bacon Necktie (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueAndOrangeMorality) Affiliation: Solar Government, Redspace Religious Beliefs: Protestant Christianity Childhood: Student, Child, Grocery Bagger Adulthood: Psychologist, Graphic Design Student Detailed Information Appearance: As a human, 6'6" with scraggly, near completely unkempt, brown hair and a continual five o' clock shadow. Plain, pretty uninteresting face. As an IPC, a 6'6" amalgamation of scrap metal and unprotected wires stretching the length of a bootleg chassis practically battered into NT Regulation formats. His clothes, over time, will continually be stained by an oil leak somewhere around the torso. His screen is almost always covered in a film of hardened dirt as though it had been salvaged from something else, and displays a set of two, rectangular eyes. Occasionally the screen will gain eyebrows and/or a mouth in order to express certain emotions or further complement body-language when speaking. Character Voice: Slade has the voice of a stereotypical comic book henchman, with a slightly deeper tone and Boston accent. (The voice is most similar to that of the character "Watch" from the Venture Bros. TV Series.) Ex. Personality: In Action In Conversation Medical Record: [PRESUMED DECEASED] Character Biography Background: Slade grew up as a lower middle-class Massachusetts resident and aspiring psychologist who dabbled in graphic design as part of his humanities degree. He was often seen as introverted and generally antisocial by his peers. As a child he would often stay inside and read fantasy novels or build tree-houses in the woods nearby his family home. Eventually he would graduate from high school with a 3.7 GPA and be accepted to a local community college, though he died months before completing his first degree program.

Williams - Unmet Child (Presumed Deceased) Alive | Deceased | Presumed Deceased History: Human IPC Personal Relationships Sam Aria (Close Friend , Admire , Respected) - "I don't know which of us is better for the other, though frankly I don't know that she knows either. In any case, she deserves my sympathy more than anyone else I've ever met, and one of the best friends I've ever made while working here. Regardless of what she goes through, she can still stand up and go to work in the morning, even when she's scrawling notes on the station walls in blood or deaf and blind and cripple. Better than I could do, honestly. Where she goes, I'll follow... literally, kind of stuck inside of her head, it's physically impossible not to follow them, even if I happen to not want to. It's a long story." Alissa Bennett (Good Friend , Respected , Admire)- "I'd never known how bad the situation really was out here before seeing what they did to her. If she has to take this shit, I'll at least try to make it a little bit lighter on her if I can." Rynnt Oethene (Good Friend , Respected) - "The husband of my best friend, and generally a stand-up human being. Works a lot of security detail on-station, but at home he may or may not be a goddamn fuzzball. Don't tell him I said that or he'll punch me for it." Gloria Leois (Good Friend , Respected) - "Somebody who can put up with my bullshit, still thinks I'm a decent human being, and somebody I can talk with for hours at a time without getting bored. Works as a blueshield or a botanist and always seems to find some way to keep things at least a little bit stable on the job, which is more than I can say for some others." Brooke Straub (Close Friend , Admire) - "Another person who puts up with life's bullshit and keeps on trucking. She currently lives in my guestroom with her wife, Isthel, at the time of writing, and always seems to be on the ball when at work. She helps out everybody else while I'm gone and, though maybe not as crazy as me, handles things with a level of finesse that I've not exactly got down." Isthel Eichenwalde/Straub (Friend) - "We haven't spoken much, aside from a few words here and there, but she's Brooke's wife, Ipsum's ex, and a hell of a medic. We've had a few good stories together, mostly ending in her saving my ass, but we don't exactly know eachother too well just yet." Kennard Rose (Close Friend , Admire) - "You know how kids want to become a detective when they grow up? You know how Noire films make ever single private dick look like the God of investigation and coolest bastard out there with some kind of heart of gold shtick? If they need any example for how that can become some kind of reality, look no further than this jackass. If there were a comic book written about this guy, I think I might have to start a fanclub. By the way, is it bad to run fanclubs for people who live in your house?" Gerhard von Lutz (Acquaintance) - "Reminds me of myself if I were a little bit more serious. Jesus Christ is he in for a ride. Think I might have pressed the crazy pedal a bit too fast the last few times I saw him though, think he might need a little more harassment to understand what I'm about." Hawke Boetirson (Close Friend) - "The prettiest princess on the Cyberiad, escorted a blue, wire mustached potato onto a pod thinking it was a princess, held posters hostage in his office as a psychiatrist, and got really, really high, lubed up his office, and bred bees for half an hour in swim shorts as a representative. He also rode a space bear without a saddle and is the craziest bastard I have ever met. I pay my debts to him in cardboard boxes." Spark 5.5 (Acquaintance) - "Kind of a dick, but he's not evil or anything. Likes to pull pranks on people and fuck with traumatized people. More of a clown, now that I think about it..." Thali Brassheart (Acquaintance) - "Chose to work for the Speaker for... some reason. Not exactly sure why, but she's still a human being, and considering I know the guy, she won't get into too much trouble serving under him. Shame about the Shadowlings though. Valthorne Haliber (Good Friend) - "A fine drinking buddy and generally good guy. We don't get to see eachother too much, but we're a lot alike and have a hell of a lot of fun with eachother when together!" The Speaker (Good Friend) - "Knowing who he is, I honestly just feel bad for this guy! He's always so grouchy even though he comes from something so good that I honestly think just getting him to chill out for once and have a good time will make a hell of a difference." Alyssa Miras (Acquaintance) - "Quite the chaplain and Nanotrasen Representative, thinks I'm a bit of a weird God thingy, but as long as she doesn't make another Chruch about me we'll be fine!" Slith Skaar (Good Friend) - "Another maint dweller and a frequent victim of my voice being in his head. We've done a lot together and I honestly can't think of any bad memories we've had together." Ide Taro (Friend) - "A human being turned unathi that's seven feet tall and BREATHES FIRE! I may be making some shit up, but he's cool, don't know him much though." Zeke Varloss (Friend) - "A drunken, pretty flamboyant, and slightly insane fishman with a boyfriend. Pretty good to talk to, and I put Garoon into his head once or twice." Garoon Garuda (Friend) - "The scarf godking and only Unathi I knew too well before Slith. We don't talk much anymore, but he's still a good guy!" Nova Somethinorotherthispartchanges (Friend) - "Either excessively tightlaced or running around naked protesting the existence of pants. Hilarious to be around, though she does complain a lot about security and being arrested for public exposure, usually for long periods of time." Boris Lemons (Good Friend) - "If there was any captain I could hang out with absolutely all the friggin' time, drink till I explode with, and then somehow suddenly save a bunch of people, Boris would both participate and make it happen. When life gives you lemons, ask for Boris." Nat Adams (Friend) - "Been a long time since I've seen this bastard, but he started a church after me for some reason and is also the creator of a shapechanging rendition of truth or dare I've played. I have been turned into a Vox several times, and a few of my other friends into teacups, deer, and cats." Cole Laurenzi (Good Friend) - "He's barely remembered these days, but he used to be here all the time. Can't say I don't miss the bastard. Taught me how to be a proper engineer while guzzling vodka and whiskey about half the time. Hell, he's the reason we even have that liquor cabinet on the engineering satellite, or at least, that's what I've been told." Hannah Snow (Good Friend) - "The best botanist this side of the galaxy and the wife or... girlfriend or... complicated of Cole Laurenzi. Her gibs were once taken on a date by an incredibly depressed Cole in a locker. She also got him to stop drinking, and unfortunately, shave that really wicked beard. Other than that though, she was good to have around. Definitely one of those "Heart of Gold" types." Xann Zxiax (Acquaintance) - "I scared the everliving shit out of him at first, but he also has a phobia of demons. Actually... who doesn't have a phobia of demons, aren't they like giant, super concentrated bits of evil that look like somebody combined a Lovecraftian horror with the elf on the shelf." Bulma Briefs (Good Friend , Respected) - "Gone now, possibly for good, but she's still one of the people I talked to almost all the time. Similar to Nova except without the protest, pretty much just walked around naked, insulted security sometimes, and could be a pretty decent command member when she had to put on the pants. We've also saved eachother on several occasions and had a pretty good time talking for hours on end." Janette Green (Good Friend , Admire ) - "Helped me take care of Alissa when she was still stuck as... something I probably shouldn't write down. In any case, she's there for people who get fucked up and honestly one of the best I've known. Still remember them after all these years, so she must be important, I guess." Tetra Vega (Good Friend) - "Redheaded space cop who puts up with my bullshit and seems to enjoy it. Spoken with her as a headvoice several times and had a wonderful time, and I suppose she might have my back if I need her to like I would have hers... if I had any hands usually, that is." Quinton Sommer (Good Friend , Respected) - "Incredible NT loyalist, sure, but the guy's a softie and has a Syndicate affiliate as a good friend of his. Deserves my respect for putting up with my bullshit and proving to me that not all the bureaucratic assholes in NanoTrasen are actually just bureaucratic assholes, and might actually have some personality behind them." Dar'Konr (Good Friend) - "Now aside from wanting a reality TV series called Keeping up with the Konr's, this guy is actually a decent officer, long-time friend of mine, and just a nice guy to be around. Don't know a ton about him, but still, figured he deserves a place here." Si'Makra Hadar (Friend) - "An NT Representative who actually speaks with people, does his job well, and doesn't give people bullshit excuses for why they can't report or do something. He even does visits where he just talks to people and has a good time." Cy Roberts (Acquaintance) - "Another NT Rep who I hung out with a bit while he was around. Don't know him as well as I do Makra, but he's still a good guy to talk about, I suppose." Descant (Friend) - "Completely boned in terms of a past, but that's pretty much just an explanation for what they are. They seem to be pretty much stuck with me and Sam for now, so I suppose the only thing to do is make them feel more like a person and less like an unholy spirit of vampiric revenge who just so happens to enjoy talking while not even actually in control of things. Reminds me of a pretty evil, but also differently traumatized version of myself!" Paper (Neutral/Unsure , Fear) - "A changeling that specifically stalks, kills, and absorbs my best friend and doesn't actually seem... malignant, just totally removed from the fact that killing people is both bad and incredibly destructive when it comes to their mental state. I can't blame them, it's their race and capacity for empathy, and from speaking with them they've been less and less eager to kill outright lately. Might be hope for them, though I worry." Kitchi Ikamura (Acquaintance) - "Why is he outside my window floating, what is he doing there, why does he want to be put on the list. I can probably write something, I just don't know him too well, but here goes. He's a nice fluffy dude who does things on a space rock and talks words. Will have to talk to him more with those words." Athena Castile (Respected , Friend) - "Funny, Kennard's investigation style reminds me of her. Used to be good friends, but she got a little bit distant. Married somebody then kinda cheated on her, which hurt them so badly that they left for a long, long time. Still, I can respect her security methods, friendly, somewhat more open. Just hope she eases up on the bitterness with age."

Also, their aesthetic is way cooler than the dumb blue and gold shit NT does." Nanotrasen (Dislike) - "Shit taste in aesthetics, way too megacorp, and honestly, these guys run so much bullshit and perform so much human testing that I'm surprised anyone actually works for them. Still, there are some good people in here, I can't absolutely despise or vow against individuals, the company is just bad news."

Currently the camera bug traitor item is quite difficult to use and navigate. When you use the item you are presented with a small screen with the name of every single camera on the station in a scrollable list, this means you need to know the exact name of the camera you want to access and then find it in the list every time you use the bug. I would suggest that upon using the camera bug you are instead presented with a map of the station with clickable cameras, the same sort of layout that is used for the crew monitor or the atmospherics computer. This would mean the bug is a lot more user friendly an doesn't require meta-knowledge to use to it's full effect. Another improvement, although less important, would be to give an indication as to what the camera bug can be upgraded with. Currently it is just listed as being upgradable but there are no hints given as to the ways the bug can be upgraded. Thank you for reading and I hope these suggestions are considered as the camera bug could be a very useful tool but it is, at the moment, held back by it's design.

i guess, at 21, his fate was sealed

So, since the ore hold and pod mining laser exists, it seems to be intended that the Mechanic can do some mining if they want to. The problem though, is that to do it they need to build a pod mining laser, which requires silver and uranium. Since the mechanic is generally going to have to wait for both RnD and robotics to have their share of resources, the mechanic isn't likely to get those minerals quickly. Unless of course mining is really on the ball that shift, in which case, the mechanic doesn't need to be mining. They could try to ask for those minerals in exchange for bringing more in but there's no guarantee you can get RnD to even give you the time of day, let alone precious minerals. I think it would make more sense to have the mining laser simply cost metal, glass, and plasma. That way the mechanic can make it without the catch-22 of relying on minerals to make something that gets you minerals. If anyone is concerned about balance potential, miners will always have the advantage. If a mechanic wants to mine, first the mechanic has to wait for RnD to get done, otherwise they don't have the research to make the pod mining laser. Next, they need to get a hardsuit, something they don't have access to. They have to find the mining asteroid z-level from the station. They might be lucky and have it right next to the station, or it might require traveling through several Z-levels. Once it's found, the Mechanic has to beg/borrow/steal a mining scanner and mesons. Even then, the mechanic can only mine for as long as their batteries allow (which isn't long) and they can never claim points from any ore they do bring in. Because of all that, I don't see mechanics ever really stepping on the toes of miners. If anything it's free points for the miners since the mechanic can't claim them. But, it would be nice if it was actually somewhat viable to do, should the mechanic want to do some mining for fun, or in emergencies when all the miners are dead and science really needs resources.

That being NAB North Cimmeria is canon for me now.

Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

I'd rather that the chef and bartender shared the same fridge

More people need to follow this wonderful nerd. Ask for art commissions. Give Sam your money.

So I started out as a miner, and I found out that the syndicate wanted me to destroy the AI and hijack the shuttle. I thought eh why not I'd give it a shot. Then I heard a voice coming out of my radio headset, it was the HoP. "Henk todays objective is the DNA vault, want a job change so you can help the project?". Some backstory, I never have seen a finished DNA vault before and last shift I tried hard to achieve it but to no avail. So I thought by myself, shall I blow up the station or go for the DNA vault? I went for the latter after some thoughts, I asked AHelped it and bam I was free from the syndicates. Thats how easy it is guys, no excuses about they control you. But when I returned from mining my boss the QM quited his job because it was to stressful for him, so I took up his job and some other jobs so we could finish this damn vault. The HoP gave me a job change to DNA valult Overseer, yes it was spelled incorrectly and I wore it with pride. With the promotion came access as well and a HoP headset. That's when Henk started doing multiple jobs at once, first managing cargo bay since it was missing a QM and had no technicians. Then Henk went to roam the station to probe innocent crewmembers and animals. After some time we almost had all samples we needed only some plants were needed. Luckely for us we had one rather competent botanist who was already gathering samples. Then after some plant probing it finally happened, the DNA vault was finished! Afterwards the Captain called me and asked me to come to the bridge, Henk came expecting a thank you and that he had to return the headset. Instead he got two medals, one medal (of which I forgot the name) shaped like a heart and then the captain gave me the medal of captaincy. Something I didn't expect at all at the round start. After the ceremony a syndicate xeno researcher killed the captain which was shortly after revived and fully healed by some hivelord remains which I kinda forgot untill that moment. Weird shift but it was a nice and stressful shift. So there you have it, from a syndicate terrorist to a "hero" who prods innocent crewmembers and animals in the name of science. Also Gerhard went completely mental that round so that's something as well. Zsi will surely remember. Also a thanks to the HoP that shift, for giving me the chance to finally finish the damn DNA vault.

Nice story. I've never seen medals actually passed out, so kudos to you!

I came close to making a space burger joint. I was pumping power and air to it. Had some atmos trouble right up until the end but once I added those extra windows things worked well. Sadly I wasn't able to get an over for cooking buns so I couldn't make actual burgers. Maybe next time though. Love how Titanium looks with Plastanium floors

A lovely cityscape, makes me want to try more pixel art, curse you.

Pretty much copy pasted from the #pictionary chat. I learned that gifs can only support 256 colors soooo....I used too many with this picture and now it looks funky. I think it looks good enough for me to be done with it though and I'll keep the color limitations in mind the next time I work on something. Damn you blending layers.

You do feel like the hero the rare few times you use your pod to save the day as pilot. I'll pass on blasting danger zone. Best part of pilot is floating around in the silence of space. My experience with brig phys is "You really enjoy playing doctor but you are sick and tired of other players (half the time not even other medbay players) stealing your patients from you."

And now time for something sad u_u7 this is why you don't go into maint alone

Ominous beeping beeps ominously! i've been playing mime again lately i just like goofing off while wearing a cute hat u.u

a few doodles i thought i'd drop here since i haven't posted anything lately the top left is Epic_Charger's Jay Jay (doodled from memory with no reference, mind you) top right is a random voxxy bottom two are both S.A.M. (poor bot can't keep his hands on :3c)

i drew STERLING again, because i like his hair and his weird arms sometimes........... you just gotta borrow 5 sheets of gold and let everyone know who's the king of the galaxy robotics lab yup maybe someday i'll draw something with a background *cry
