| Hazardous Duty Fram
Obsidian 2014/3/26 21:14

| Sometimes tasks need to be performed that require more meticulous detail than current drones can accomplish yet are far too hazardous for living beings and the cost for large quantities of well programmed androids is very prohibitive. Enter the "Frame" a hollow shell designed to house a human essence. The living subject is downloaded into the frame and essentially posses the machine. The pi;lots original body is kept in stasis until the end of the assignment. While in the frame the pilot feels no pain or any sensation of any kind nor does the pilot require food or water. For all intents and purposes the pilot is a machine and subject to the same physical limitations. Prolonged confinement within the frame can cause a detachment from humanity and drive less willed people insane so it is common practice to screen applicant thoroughly before transfer.In the event of catastrophic destruction of the original most contracts include a genetic clone clause to replace the original body. Typical contracts last up to 5 years and as one might expect the frames are reusable and can be used by multiple clients though only one pilot can occupy a given Frame at a time. |

| I did this picture a few months back but some things about it bugged me... The Camera angle, Lighting and the wolves. The wolves I used were low poly poser pro BS. But today while going through my inventory I discovered I had the AM Wolf...with fur. I wanted a fur effect and tried to do one on my own to no avail... Then I saw these and I was like WOW! I knew what I had to do so I reshot the image and I hope you like the new version as much as I do. BTW Keep an eye for new posts of Old characters... Lots of updates coming. |

| Species Equinos
Obsidian 2015/9/27 17:54
1781 3
| The Equinos people are a proud and noble race of Demi-Humanoids with the head and hooves of a horse with giant feathered wings. They believe that their species is divinely chosen to serve the gods of light and to further the causes of said gods. To attest to this all of their warriors are paladins, and all of their spell casters are priests, the many gods of light are represented on their planet and one can always find food, shelter, and healing on their world. Their technology is the match for any in the five galaxies. Their warships are easily a match for anything found anywhere and while elegant in appearance are deadly in function. Equinos, when encountered off world are typically on crusade, or are on pilgrimage to earn a name for themselves and demonstrate their worth. Pilgrimages only end when the Equinos has performed a heroic task worthy of note, such as saving a large population, recovering some significant relic, or defeating some great evil. Many Equinos remain on pilgrimage for years sometimes decades, with a life span that rivals the Luminesti some have been on pilgrimage for centuries. Pilgrimages can end whenever the individual chooses and there is no shame and they may even take up another later. However, it is considered a great accomplishment to complete a pilgrimage and the individual is considered a person of high honor. There are of course those that are on Missionary service and may be establishing a monastery in some remote region of the five galaxies. In any case even the weakest among them are considered highly skilled warrior and that includes their spellcasters. |

| What does that
Obsidian 2017/6/3 2:40
1781 2
Back aboard my ship I'm left with more questions than answers. Not the least of which is how does an energy blast put a hole in a material that, by it's very nature, absorbs energy? Absorbium is no joke, if handled improperly it can absorb the electricity right out of a living organism, which as one might assume is quite lethal. That android or robot or cyborg or whatever it was, just punched a hole through it which should be impossible. Then somehow the nano irises which govern the rate of absorption and do so very precisely were overridden and closed. I cannot go into a conflict with beings who can do those sorts of things without having some sort of defense.
After staring at my armor for an hour or so I call Sabrina, hoping maybe my chief engineer might have an insight into exactly what does that to my armor.
Sabrina is all business which is what I like most about her, she greets me with a "Sir" and it feels right.
"You wanted to see me sir?"
"Yes actually. I wanted to pick your brain and see if you could help me find a defense against this..."
I gesture to the large hole in my armor and Sabrina looks at it like a star struck teenager.
"I-Is that what I think it is?"
"Um if you mean my armor, yes."
"No no no no, I mean under the upper layers...that is...No it isn't."
"Isn't what?"
"Well at first glance one might mistake this underlayer for Nano-weave circuitry, but it isn't...this is even smaller...subatomic? That would explain the precision in your holomatrix and your ability to control absorption. For that purpose Nano-tech would be crude at best."
"Really?"
I always thought it was simple nanotechnology...and some magic. When Ray built the prototype it was awesome...but the Black Mantis had a hand in my current design...more bang for my buck as it were. I've never gave a moment's to having to do major repairs but this situation changes everything. We're getting off track though.
"Tell me Sabrina what kind of weapon can do this type of damage to Absorbium 80?"
"Well Absorbium is vulnerable to freezing, acid and general chemical and physical changes save for kinetic energy and impacts, it has a high tolerance to oxidation, it can be cut with the right tools...but I don't know of a weapon that does this to it...certainly not an energy weapon."
"Yeah, well that's what happened."
"Perhaps it was...what about an EMT?"
"A transporter beam?"
"Well you've used them before and we know they work on the armor and all of you armor IS designed to allow them to work unless you actively absorb the energy used during the conversion process."
"So you think that the android used something like that?"
"Yes but something more localized, to not transport away but convert the suit's matter to energy...I'm not even sure what to call that?"
"It's called a Disruptor."
A voice says from the behind us.
"And it isn't supposed to exist."
Standing in the doorway of my shop is none other than the Black Scorpion...formerly the Black Mantis's duplicate.
"Karr, this is unexpected....wait...How do you know about this weapon."
"Because I invented it."
"Saywhatnow?"
I can scarcely believe what I'm hearing. If these guys built this weapon how do I stop it? Moreover how the held did an android get it's hands on it?
"I'm afraid you have me to thank for these machines."
"I'm all ears friend do tell."
"I created the weapon to use against the Black Mantis, it was design with Infinitium in mind since the only way to affect the metal is to rearrange it's structure on a subatomic level. It goes without saying that it would be equally effective on Absorbium. The beam is essentially a an Energy Matter Transporter that has been set to displace the material it affects rather than send it somewhere. It disrupts the material structure and mangles it. On organic beings it is especially vicious and cruel as it mangles beings while leaving them alive in pure agony."
"Why would you create something like that?"
"As I said, it was for the Black Mantis."
"Geez, that's...twisted. But how did these machines get their hands on it?"
"I had to test the weapon at some point and these machines were perfect for that, they were malevolent and mindless assimilating whole planets and decimating any resistance."
"So you killed a few. Still doesn't explain how they got your weapon."
"They must have somehow relayed the beam's specification to their core intelligence even as they we being eradicated by it. it wouldn't take much to duplicate if one had EMT technology...which they did. I didn't leave any stragglers or survivors so it's the only explanation I can think of."
"What about the machines themselves? What can you tell me about them that might help me against them?"
"They are like you, energy is nearly useless against them. They're highly intelligent in groups but not when alone. As single units they possess an impressive AI but it's not until they get together that truly become formidable. In groups they're able to link their collective intelligence and computational power and they each benefit from it individually. So instead of fighting a group of advanced AI's you end up fighting a group of Highly advanced AI's."
"So we whittle their numbers down and they become less effective."
"Exactly. There is one thing more."
"What's that?"
"They are advanced AI's, they don't need those bodies, those are only mobile platforms. If they get into a computer system it's a wrap, they'll take over every subsystem in seconds...they can control entire ships or something as large as a space station." Worse yet, on a planetary level they can use internet and externet to take over far more than that. Our people are on this, but we're gonna need you to do some leg work...again."
"Crap...well, in for a penny. etc etc. Looks like I'm working for you guys...again. You know this was supposed to be a simple job." |

| A lone signal in the depths of space is picked up by the SS Lillun. Obsidian Mask investigates only to discover the signal is quite ancient and the lone stranded survivor who sent it is no more than bones and dust. It is a sad lonely sight on this barren wasteland of a planet, with few resources the castaway could not have lasted for more than a few months. Within the emergency shelter are dried food rations and the nearby water would is clean enough, but without a Matter Replication unit there was little hope for long term survival. The items will be cataloged and since this is an earth vessel the IGFW will be informed and allowed to enter Sathari Space to retrieve the escape craft. Odd though, this barren rock is several hundred light years from any Earth colonies how could it have drifted so far away and how long was that survivor in that pod before finally landing here? Some questions will have to be left to the experts. Obsidian will simply call this one: Case Closed. |

| Enter Nechronos
Obsidian 2015/8/1 2:35
1775 1
Across the universe and throughout time he has existed, what are his motives? None know it is said his ideals are beyond the understanding of mortals, But obsidian Mask is no mere mortal. Nechronos is a spellweaver, and Time Master one of the last of his kind. His people ascended long ago to become one with the cosmos, and infinite realities. Through their archives he has learned of the destroyer, and worse yet, that the destroyer is here in his reality, threatening it's very existence. But the diabolical madman has no intention of doing anything about it. No he intends to find this destroyer and glean whatever knowledge and resources he can from such a powerful being, but how? Yes how can he even dream of pulling the wool over the eyes of The Black Mantis! It matters not to him how, because he must first find the destroyer's weakness...Every creature has one right? But the tomes of the ancient archives give no clues, there are only rumors now, and is plans are being interfered with by that bothersome elf Obsidian Mask, no matter he at least can be disposed of. Razor will see to it in their last encounter Razor brought back his arm, he will bring his head eventually. The mad Time Master's thoughts wander and then suddenly, a tome mentions a prophecy, no, not a prophecy but a myth, a legend. The Time Masters mention a simulacrum, a clone, an artificial life brought forth from the blood of the enemy, one who is close to the destroyer but who could it mean? Over and over a reference to the Dark hood and Dark Shadow, it couldn't be...could it...The bothersome Elf is close to the destroyer? Pah many beings wear black and call themselves the hooded one and so forth...but this is too much of a coincidence for Nechronos' comfort. Razor kept the arm as a trophy, and now it may serve a better use...
The mad Time Master summons Deathwing, his loyal dragon, and with an incantation as old as time they vanish in a violet mist. |

| Unicorn Comics Assassin Wars Rd 3 - Bloodbath vs Cutter

| Castle Necrom, Transylvania - Up until now Cutter had been lucky in his matchups. He easily out muscled Edge in round 1, and Venegeance could not match his skill level in round 2. Oh, and they both were human! Now for the first time he faces a foe with powers...powers of the undead yet! Cutter knew his only chance was to strike before his foe awoke..so he quickly flew to Bloodbath's crypt to catch the creature unawares. Too bad he didn't count for the time difference in Europe. He knows he's late and really begins to worry when he opens the crypt and finds it empty. Or is it? Seems like he forgot about a vampire's ability to turn to mist. Can anyone say sneak attack fail? |

Her command over the Undead is absolute.
I have posted several images using iray, but this is the first to render to a complete 100%
It is worth noting that this was done on a system that is pushing 8 years, in a 673 x 621 resolution, Only the character, clothing, hair, and 3 lights. This took my system around 26 hours to render. The results are worth the wait for me. So if anyone is thinking of working with iray, here are results of my own work. |

I get a call from an old friend, like me he was trained by the Oni, but was not born Oni. A Solaran by the name of Saito Nakamura. He is a high ranking member of the ninja clan that trained me. I know why he wants to see me, it's because I broke ties, and now they want to let me know what the deal it now that I'm not part of the clan anymore...seems word of my fall form grace has gotten around. No doubt there's gonna be some payback for my threats...and vulgar display of power...but they don't know I am a Scion. Saito wants to meet on the planet Dagus 4 a hard hit world during the Millennium Wars abandoned by settlers after the Stakahn poisoned the entire planet's water making it uninhabitable. Saito asks me to meet him in and old shopping district away from prying eyes and in a place where he can basically ambush me. Normally i would agree to meet in the open but I'm not frightened of mortals at this point and they have no idea of what I am now capable of. As I approach my scanners pick up no less than 17 additional life signatures besides me and Saito...yeah those numbers won't help them.
In the center of an old dilapidated shopping mall Saito stands...no mask, but armed to the teeth. The mask is a sign of respect, it also shows that you're not afraid. Well that's nice but I'm not taking a bullet between the eyes for anyone.
"Obsidian san Hajimemashite."
"Mae-govannen Saito"
"I believe you know why we are having this meeting."
"The clan wants to tell me to come back or else?"
"Something like that. You know many of our secrets and as an outsider your actions are of special interest to the clan. They are concerned about your leaving and possibly bringing the clan great shame, embarrassment, and undue attention."
"Did you actually say the word 'embarrassment'? First of all I am highly skiled, and I have never let anyone know what clan trained me, and lastly I am NOT the guy who brought 17 men."
"Fair enough but you know, that honor must be satisfied? You were very disrespectful to our leader, and she didn't take it very well, she believes an act of apology is necessary."
"Did she mention at the time that I was a god? As such I simply put her in her place. Now I see though she wants to return the favor and put me in mine?"
"Again, something like that. She wishes you to perform and act of humility to demonstrate your loyalty to the clan."
I reach into a compartment and pull out a note, carved in pure infinitium. At the top it has symbol, and for as far back as I can remember it has been a symbol of fear, no, terror for my clan. It wasn't until i was in the company of the one who this symbol belonged to that I understood why the symbol was something of such great dread. The symbol of the Black Mantis to those who know it is a thing of absolute fear...his power is legendary and his empire is known to but a few but to those few he is like a force of destruction unparalleled in the annals of anyone's history. The gods themselves fear him..and now as the look on Saito's face turns from serious to horrified, I explain what the situation really is.
"Take this to your Jonin, tell her, that as of this day I operate under this banner, and that as the betrothed of the eldest of the Black Mantis's house I am no longer bound by the decrees and loyalties of the clan. I will respect our clan's secrecy and I shall not bring any dishonor to the clan name. However, if one of you idiots ever challenges me again, I will bring the full might of the Black Mantis clan down on your heads and destroy you to the last man. Is that understood?" As I ask I look to where each of my former brothers believes themselves to be hiding. Saito places his mask back on, and I nod giving them their leave. For just a moment I thought I was going to have to nuke the place to make a statement, but Moonshadow's plan was better than mine. I must remember to thank her properly when I get home.. |

| A day at the beach
Obsidian 2017/4/22 17:48
1764 1
The Ferusian continent of Galeria has some beautiful coastlines and I had long ago taken it upon myself to build a vacation home far from the palace that I lived in during my tenure as High Justiciar. The place isn't as grandiose as the palace but then again that's not my style. Built into a cliff about 100 feet above the beach in a little cove it is the perfect place to get away from it all. My wives and I along along with Aini, take the next few weeks to get some sun and frolic in the waves like children. I enjoy snorkeling so we also spend a great deal of time checking out the nearby reefs. The sea creatures of Ferusi are something to behold, both exotic and beautiful to behold most of the eas life is quite colorful. I have given my crew paid furlow and basically run of the place and so they've scattered to the four winds. Normally someone like Shadawar would be a rare sight but since the Sathari occupation of the planet there have a been a few positive changes the presence of aliens being one of those. it's a gorgeous day for swimming and and I am just getting ready to take the boat out to the reef when I hear a someone yelling from above on the cliff. I can easily magnify my vision with my cybernetics and what I see is a buzz killer. A Sathari officer, what could he possibly want? If Analaeus wanted me he has a direct line. That being said this seems like personal business invading my personal life. The gentleman makes his way down to the beach where the girls and I are and marches towards me. The entire time I can't help noting how out of place he looks on a hot summer day in full dress uniform on this sandy beach. As he approaches, he says something that gets my full attention...he says my name.
He salutes like a pro and says:
"Indor Rusquion Tura, I have been sent by his majesty the Emperor Analaeus Sathari to secure your cooperation in a very delicate matter."
Indor is a title given to high ranking former officials by the Sathari government. It's a title I appreciate but few people use my actual name. It's so rare sometimes I forget I have a name other than Obsidian. Handing me an official "sealed" document which opens only upon confirmation of my DNA (LIke my clone couldn't have opened it) I am stunned to discover that it contains only a set of coordinates with no instructions. I'm guessing the vacation is over.
Analaeus is a friend and I don't let my friends down when they need me. I'm sure there is a good reason for all the secrecy.
"Okay, um what's your name?"
"High Cano, Vel Revv sir. I am commander of the Fekthir. According to my orders my ship and my crew are at your disposal. We will take you wherever you need to go."
"I have my own ship, thanks."
"I know sir, it is currently in my ship's docking bay ready to go when you are."
"Damn your ship must be huge."
My ship is easily the size of a small cruiser the Sathari really go overboard with their designs.
"My ship is the largest in fleet. We have been ordered to remain at your call at all times. These orders come from the Emperor himself. This mission is of the highest secrecy. Even High Justiciar Harley has not been informed."
Okay now I'm worried, it's not normal to bypass the chain of command. The girls and I pack up and I send the all hands on deck signal and end several vacations at once.
"It'll take a a full day to reassemble me crew, I'll sinal when we are ready."
"Very good sir, we'll await your call."
he heads to his shuttle atop the cliff and I suit up. I ask the ladies to remain planetside for this one...I've held enough memorials for a while I haven't the stomach to lose more family. Whatever this is about it won't be fun and games.

| Jennifer Brooks was supposed to be one of a set of triplets, when a energy-matter transporter accident interacted with her Genetic Aberration as an instinctive fail safe the three fetuses merged into one. This fact was unknown to doctors who were dumbfounded. All of the experts consulted said that the missing two fetuses were simply gone...they were mistaken. Later it was believed that Jennifer suffered from schizophrenia, and when examined by doctors at the young age of 13 it was discovered that her brainwaves were erratic, not because she was mentally ill but because she had 3 separate minds intertwined into one. The merged minds of the three form a fourth separate being, this is Jennifer. Jennifer has no extraordinary powers skills or abilities. When separate the three personalities are known as (Mystria, Whylma, and Amethyst) each with it's own powers and skills and all aware of the other. It wasn't until the day of her prom when her date tried to "Go too far" that she learned the three personalities could personify and materialize into three separate beings. Artemis ( Whylma) the Warrior, Vex (Mystria) The Mage and Korona (Amethyst) The Psionic, unfortunately for the young boy he met primarily with Artemis who beat him almost to death. Each one of the personalities has her own mind and her own will ,dreams, and desires, and each one represents an aspect of Jennifer's own personality as well. So what keeps them together? If they should move farther than a mile from each other they will each grow weak, the extent of this weakness is suspected to go so far as death but this is not known and they refuse to test it for obvious reasons. They also cannot remain separated for longer than 48 hours without the same sickness which will again affect all of them. Jennifer herself is quite weak and so to protect her the three girls employed the services of a combat drone. Pretty, pink, cute, and armed to the teeth Malibu Bambi (aka the A-46 combat drone) has an advance self aware AI who looks after Jennifer like a kid sister...and boys beware she is very suspicious of men. Unless necessary or at Jennifer's behest Bambi will not engage in combat not involving the immediate safety of Jennifer. Bambi's personality matrix is one of the most advanced in operation, despite the fact the she has been obsolete for over a year now having been replaced by the now more popular A-47 combat drone. Together the three girls are known as Triple Threat though few if any are aware of the girls' true nature. |
