First order of business...I made Armored Cores for each of the Shapen Sisters + Principal and Mauve. I finally have a place to put em 😈
crisp aurora
Pilot: Watcher
AC Name: Blue Communion
Name meaning: Originally a drink meant to celebrate her first communion, it gained a negative connotation to her after Fixer's apparent betrayal. What better name for an Armored Core? Every time she gets into it, someone dies.
Description: Equipped with lightweight tank treds, this allows Blue Communion the ability to utilize heavier weaponry, with a preference towards laser weapons. It is equipped with a laser lance to rip targets apart with a piercing blue blade, a laser rifle to throw damage while at a distance or close up, the aurora light wave canon as an experimental gift from long ago, and the ORBT launcher to summon a little guy to shoot lasers at the enemy. I also put a little green in the palette because Fixer.
Combat style: A mid range AC that whittles down the opponents before attempting to laser lance them. Hekki ALLMO.
Pilot: Fixer
AC Name: Wrench
Name Meaning: Originally, it was because it was what she used to 'fix a problem'. After the timeskip, it's name is the same, but now it's more throwing a 'wrench' into Principal's plans.
Description: A bipedal AC with medium legs, it's able to endure the weight of the chainsaw it has on it. Equipped with an electricity gun made specifically for rendering enemy ACs inoperable, a drone launcher to overwhelm the opponent with hidden allies, and a missile launcher that deploys delayed explosions on the path it takes, it's designed to overwhelm in every category, with pulse armor to protect from any enemy attacks.
Combat style: Overwhelm the enemy and then chainsaw them.
Pilot: Knower
AC Name: Librarian
Name Meaning: A relatively simple name, she takes pride in her role and uses her organized information in the most optimal way. She Knows.
Description: A quadruped build, this AC can hover and utilize the various plasma weaponry it's equpped with from higher, more varied angles than other ACs can. A plasma back launcher, an electric needle launcher, a plasma mine launcher, and a two-stage plasma-laser rifle. Energy hungry, but able to control the battlefield from on high. ( Also, the two-stage rifle she has might be a little nod to the previous watcher, cough cough )
Combat Syle: Aerial superiority with superior firepower. Raining plasma from above to control the flow of combat and render the enemy silent.
Pilot: Healer
AC Name: Hippocratic Oath
Name Meaning: An ironic name, as there's no real way to 'heal' in a giant death robot. Thusly, her role is to prevent 'undue suffering' by finishing engagements quickly and professionally. There's no way to follow the Oath when in her AC, so its the best say she can.
Description: A lightweight bipedal build designed to 'get this over with'. Armed with two shoulder-mounted pulse guns, a pulse gun in her right hand, and a laser knife in the left. Also equipped with an AOE shield to protect allies. It's lightweight frame means it can quickly surround and overwhelm an individual target, strip its shields, and surgically put it under the knife. High speed and evasive actions, but low energy reserves.
Combat Style: Overwhelm, de-shield, and cut out the problem.
Pilot: Bang Bang Fire
AC Name: Last Resort
Name Meaning: Getting into her AC is a 'last resort' that she'd rather not have to do. Getting in means all other diplomacy has failed. Getting in means someone has to die. It means she has to become a murderer.
Decription: A reverse-jointed build designed to leap around the opponent, this AC has some of the benefits that Knower's has, but without the downsides of a heavier AC. Unique in the fact that this AC has no shoulder weaponry, it's instead equipped with an energy shield to 'parry' certain attacks, two hand canons, and a unique one-shot shotgun designed to end things quickly.
Combat Style: Shoot the enemy in the face from as many angles as possible.
Pilot: Principal
AC Name: The Long Game
Name Meaning: Iterpreted by the Sisters as 'she's played her role for a long time', the true meaning is obvious once her true motives are revealed. She's been playing the long game to get her revenge.
Description: A bipedal unit equipped with all manner of experimental technology, her AC is top of the line. In the Armored Core Lore, her weapons 'Manipulate Coral swarm intelligence using energy to produce chain explosions', and coral is essentially alive. She uses this coral weaponry like she used sisters in the past to get right where she wants to, and with no other AC able to defend against such damage, she executes her plans with brutal efficiency. Right hand is a three-stage rifle that can be charged to a massive beam, left hand is a coral 'plasma' gun, left shoulder is a pulse wave sword, and right shoulder is a coral rocket launcher.
Combat Style: Blast the enemy with 1000 years of suffering.
Pilot: Knower
AC Name: Secret Lament
Name Meaning: She does what she must to survive, but those 'feelings not worth being incinerated over' still linger inside. She's sentimental, and keeps that side secret.
Description: Essentially Librarian with a coat of red paint, she was given a bit of power by Principal; a coral shield and a coral sword. Her other weapons are the same, showing that she's still Knower under all that red dye and paint...
Combat Style: Overwhelm with aerial superiority, and coverup the stragglers with a flash of red.
Pilot: 'Mauve'
AC Name: Capital Red
Name Meaning: Her name isn't Mauve.
Description: An old scouting AC repurposed into a weapon for Principal. Equipped with a shoulder-mounted rocket salvo, two flamethrowers, and a shotgun for executing those who defy against the Red Guard.
Combat Style: Sisters must see fire.
That's all I've got...I hope this was Something 🫡

im putting the 1kxr x outer wilds dream in here because it is important and also very yuriful because it was literally a fixerwatcher dream.also spoilers for both 1kxr and outer wilds
okay so! in this dream i was watcher off exploring the solar system. after a while she finds ||the eye|| and everything starts happening there, but also it acted like a communion; it showed disjointed rooms between endless darkness that showed memories from both watcher's life and the communions. one was just the surface of another planet, another was the outer wilds museum, one was the classroom from the first communion. i was physically jumping between them looking at memories, and after the classroom section there was one where it was just me ( as watcher dont forget ) and fixer. unfortunately i dont remember much of what happens there but i blinked and suddenly as in a different universe as a 'different' person, like reincarnated.
the landscape was like a combination of a few different outer wilds planets and a little bit of 1kxr. the 'me' i was was sad and mourning, but didn't 100% know what. think ||blue|| where she just knew something was wrong. they went to a friend who was working as like a secretary or something behind a desk kiosk thing and vented their feelings a bit, with the last line being "i just miss her". literally the most vivid thing i remember after that was "come on, don't tell me you don't recognize me?" and fixer popping up from another seat, but her design was a blend of her and principal, mainly red this time. i tried to climb over the desk to get to her but she stopped it and explained something about the rules needing to be followed and to follow the path. so off i went on a quantum puzzle.
then i woke up. SUCKS
limber hatch
Yuriful.......
crisp aurora
yuri so powerful it invades my dreams and overcomes quantum mechanics
jaunty radish
principal but if she was really bad at disguising herself in the first communion

this is still so good, love the scene match ups, like iris falling over at 1:14 and and the subsequent transition to blue falling backwards scene

might mess around and make some in character yugioh decks...i'll post 'em here when i'm done 🫡
echo juniper
That's all I've got...I hope this was Something 🫡
Your AC designs are incredible! You put a lot of thought into them, especially into the names
I especially like your BBF design and the idea behind the name, you nailed it
crisp aurora
Yours are good too, I love em 🫡
echo juniper
I think I could have done better on some of them, mainly when it comes to the names
But thank you nonetheless, it means a lot to me

i have made the shapen sisters in elden ring......i shall start posting them soon with explanations on my choices just like the armored core ones. no dlc items yet but if i lock in and get em then i shall update them if i feel they fit 💪 also ignore the stats i was too lazy to remake them every time
first up is watcher!
build is an int / dex build with focus on sorceries with a little faith for the skull spell.
right hand is a crystal sword so she can have her funky little secretary shard. could've been crystal dagger but that sucked
lusat's glintstone staff for the spells and because the description fits her well methinks :)
spell selection: the two primeval sorceries to show her forbidden knowledge, crystal blast to relate to the sword, carian slicer and spell at the bottom to show that while she has this knowledge, she is still rather immature as these are low int / beginner spells, and the rykard spell to represent fixer
armor is the black knife assassin chestplate due to the godkilling thing, gauntlets are the blackflame monk gauntlets for the same thing, and teh greaves are something like that too. talismans are focused on using her sword with godfrey icon helping the spells.
the item slots dont matter so ignore those going forward
next, fixer.
str / faith build with an incant lineup focused on the 'others' in the game; forbidden giantsflame, the old crucible, the ancient dragons, and the beastly spells that helped kill gods with the influence.
right hand, usually two-handed, is the brick hammer. awesome description that fits her good methinks. ash of war is either stormcaller to break poise, or cragblade to do the same but with big bonks.
left hand, gurranq's seal for the str scaling and bonus beast spell buffs
spell selection: flame grant me strength to boost physical attacks and her other fire spells, beast spells, the charge crucible spell to surprise people, the lightning to have a quick spell, and the two flame spells are forbidden giantsflame spells for sisters must see fire and such
the chest armor is rogier's set, the desc being Rogier spent his entire life behaving with utter detachment. No one noticed the anger, grief, regret, or fear that existed along with it, so i think it fits well. normal gloves and the pants are godskin pants.
talismans are generic melee build with boosts for the ash of war and stamina
healer's up!
faith / dex build with a focus on parries and crits.
right hand, misericorde. that description is goated. ash of war is blood tax for getting health back on hit.
right hand, buckler for that faster parry, and a base two fingers incant thing that i totally forgot to equip but pretend its there
spell selection: healing spells, buffing spells, a debuffing spell, and two offensive spells. mostly would be used to distract the enemy to prepare for the cut.
armor was hardest for her and knower since there is ZERO pink options and basically no purple so i wanted the vibes of her in-game outfit.
talismans are all in on the crits and getting stuff from critting.
knock knock, whos there? bb!!!
str build with a little int to use the ash of war.
right hand, helphen's steeple. the ominous bell tolls and it tolls for THEE.
left hand is an offhand hatchet for quick attacks between greatsword strikes. probably the most competitively viable weapon setup between them all.
spell selection: none. she's ballin with a greatsword
armor was fun for her. the cleanrot chestplate describes 'their inevitable fate makes their battles the fiercest of all'. bloodhound greaves as they describe dedication and loyalty to a cause despite all else. probably cleanrot gauntlets too
talismans are juicy too. first one is for breaking through blocks, second one is for recieving more damage, third one is dealing more damage when p is low, and the last raises poise so she can tank said damage. basically she gets hurt more in these fights but won't stop until the end
knower? i hardly knower! wait
int / dex build with focus on precision.
right hand rogier's rapier, a fancy ass weapon with its own magic ash of war.
left hand cleanrot sword for the dual wielding and as a backup weapon. also symbolises how she's a survivor because of the cleanrot knight lore said above with bb.
spell selection: mostly carian blade sorceries because funny secretary shard. glintstone wave to show a connection to watcher, comet azure does that too, but she has terra magica to buff it. she also has a night sorcery to allude to her being an 'assassin', aka just a double agent.
her outfit is basically focused on sorcery too, her torso clothes emphasising Even if their fate has been long severed from the stars.. her gauntlets are glintstones, showing her dedication to the knowledge of sorcery. again no purple so its mostly blue which could be the previous watcher's influence oooo
talismans are purely all in on sorcery, though some have debuffs which leave her vulnerable to those who know her weak spots.
finally, principal! her hair isnt in the game dont blame me
balanced int / dex / faith build
right hand is moonveil for her fuckass weeb katana she has in her office. why do you have that girl
left hand is the prince of death's staff to show how the 'dead' drag her down even now, and an erdtree seal for the few spells that need it
spell selection: death spells. all of em pretty much. ghostflame spells to chase down enemies with the dead, fia's mist to kill those who linger in those feelings with nostalgia, icecrag to make them feel the same lonely chill she did, and eternal darkness to swallow any countermeasures up without the light of day seeing them. there's also the 3 faith spells she has. blackflame blade for god killing, unendurable frenzy for how she started fraying at the seems from her schemes, and inescapable frenzy because well. look at that description. :)
her outfit was hard to choose but i did for the description in the image. also black knife gauntlets for the yknow. stabbing god in the back and such
talismans are mainly focused on sorcery too, but with an added focus on keeping her FP up for spells.
