Yeah

split mortar
#

We dunno
Prob exo something due to them still having the exo resonance

icy veldt
#

Neither does not murdering civilians for worshipping gods, so maybe the Plague is a bit misjudged XD

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

the clues we have are that miracle matter is a combination of exhausted exo prisms and a bunch of metals

icy veldt
#

The word "not" is important

split mortar
#

Ah

#

Missed that

icy veldt
#

Wow

split mortar
#

Putting my keyboard in a bath for that mistake

astral coyote
icy veldt
astral coyote
#

Are there popular fan reworks of calclone

cloud ibex
#

calshade i guess

#

kinda stretching the definition of "fan rework" but you know how it goes

astral coyote
#

Huh okie

#

What was draedon working on when he was making the cloning tech?

icy veldt
astral coyote
#

Just art

#

Idk where in the timeline draedon makes the exo mechs in relation to when he makes calclone

split mortar
split mortar
astral coyote
#

Huh interesting

#

So draedon just makes those cuz he's curious about us

split mortar
#

@limpid saddle clone mentions btw

astral coyote
#

Not for yharim

split mortar
astral coyote
#

Yea

#

Okie

limpid saddle
#

Well he didn't construct the Exo Mechs specifically for the Terrarian to fight, the Terrarian just happened to be the perfect opportunity for a test run

split mortar
#

^

limpid saddle
#

He naturally made the Exo Mechs as an evolution of his prior designs

split mortar
#

Multiple birds one stone
Test terrarian
Test exos

astral coyote
#

Huh he just made god powered mechanical monstrosities for fun?

split mortar
#

To push his limits in technology

astral coyote
#

Alrighty

limpid saddle
#

ok well

astral coyote
#

What sort of tech did he have when making calclone

dusk laurel
#

they arent god powered but

limpid saddle
#

Technically?

astral coyote
#

Powerful as gods

dusk laurel
#

exo prisms are from sea prisms

astral coyote
#

Not powered by gods

limpid saddle
#

cause the crystals formed due to otonilou

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

which are essentially infinitely charged crystals because of the goddess of electricity

limpid saddle
astral coyote
#

Oh yeah what gods are still alive after we fight scal

dusk laurel
#

slime god

dusk laurel
#

providence

#

uhhh

limpid saddle
astral coyote
#

That's so funny

dusk laurel
#

technically silva since shes just gonna regenerate back anyways

split mortar
#

Slime god and providence are optional
Silva cant die
Xeroc has the sun and so cant die either basically
Idk anyone else

limpid saddle
astral coyote
#

That's hilarious

#

Is there any other lore around her to go off of

limpid saddle
#

then Scal broke her out & Calclone accidentally absorbed some of her brimstone & went crazy

astral coyote
#

Oh okie

limpid saddle
astral coyote
#

Was she finished when scal broke her out or was draedon still tinkering

limpid saddle
#

I believe due to her underdeveloped mind & lack of will she could take in far less Brimstone than Scal before losing it

limpid saddle
#

Dumped in a vat somewhere probably

astral coyote
#

Ah I see

#

Successful just unable to harness brimstone till scal broke her out?

#

What's the deal with brimstone anyway

split mortar
#

Only once she was broken out did she get powers

astral coyote
#

Yea that's what I mean

split mortar
limpid saddle
astral coyote
#

Interesting

limpid saddle
#

Which leads some (me) to think Calamitas's capacity to absorb Brimstone/potentially Elemental magic is genetic but wielding it is not

split mortar
#

Scal sponge theory…

astral coyote
#

Hm

limpid saddle
#

Cause we know Calamitas only gained her magic after coming into contact with & doing battle with the Brimstone Elemental

astral coyote
#

What is brimstone really

limpid saddle
#

& Calamitas Clone, similarly, only gained her magic after coming into contact with Calamitas

split mortar
limpid saddle
limpid saddle
split mortar
astral coyote
#

Huh okie

dusk laurel
astral coyote
#

What's the deal with the constructs?

split mortar
#

For scal she summons her undead brothers to help in the fight
For clone she is mimicking that with magic puppets iirc

astral coyote
#

Are they her actual brothers?

limpid saddle
limpid saddle
astral coyote
#

Hm okay

#

Okie

limpid saddle
#

The constructs are crude recreations

astral coyote
#

That's rough buddy

limpid saddle
#

yeah

astral coyote
#

So theoretically

dusk laurel
#

a policy i have with old content in regards to lore is basically completely ignore it unless said by a dev otherwise because the entire mod is basically being remade

astral coyote
#

Calamitas clone would look like a crazed version of calamitas who had been roaming on her own
She'd have unstable brimstone powers and likely be attached to some kind of vat or some other draedon tech

pliant ruin
#

Not necessarily

#

Dunno if there's anything implying she needsa ny sort of life support like that

#

She isn't a failed clone

#

She's a perfect biological clone of Calamitas

astral coyote
#

That's less cool though

pliant ruin
#

The "failure" is simply because she dosen't have any of her powers, since Calamitas's powers aren't biological

limpid saddle
#

Yeah that's why my design looks like that

pliant ruin
limpid saddle
#

just calamitas who's gone through a really bad week

pliant ruin
#

I think people actually entirely miss how much potential calcone has a character

#

Because they just think the most interesting path to take her is body horror monster number 300

#

which is actually imo one of the most boring ones

#

Calamity has, alot of those as is

astral coyote
#

Awh man

pliant ruin
#

And really, you have a character who's a literal clone of someone else

#

And you decide to go with body horror?

#

Really?

#

Not existential dread, identity crisis

#

Body horror ,e ven though there's like

#

6 other body horror bosses?

astral coyote
#

There goes my motivation to respite her out the window

split mortar
light linden
#

personally I always thought cal clone was like

pliant ruin
#

Ravager is by far the best yeah

dusk laurel
#

ravager and perforators

pliant ruin
#

Ravager is goated

dusk laurel
#

i love new rav

split mortar
#

We dunno perfs tho…

light linden
pliant ruin
#

Calclone works best imo when she's much more of a psaychological chrisis and an actual character than just another monster for you to fight

pliant ruin
light linden
#

and the robot thing outside of her-

#

oh

astral coyote
#

Awh

#

Welp

#

Gotta come up with something else to sprite

dusk laurel
#

i wonder if the mech brother idea will go through

pliant ruin
#

An idea i like for calclone is that she actually dosen't use much brimstone magic at all

split mortar
#

I should make a folder with concept arts now i know how to…

pliant ruin
#

Instead relying more on her own ingenuity and survival skills

#

Not only due to the toll brimstone magic has on her but also

#

Due to the fact it's associated with Calamitas

#

she dosen't Want to be Calamitas she wants to be Herself

light linden
dusk laurel
#

oh my god

pliant ruin
#

the horrors

limpid saddle
pliant ruin
split mortar
light linden
#

jokes aside are they getting resprited with the other plague stuff?

dusk laurel
#

i dont see why not

astral coyote
#

Mech brother?

#

The plague stuff is getting resprited?

limpid saddle
pliant ruin
#

You can assume most things are until said otherwise

split mortar
light linden
dusk laurel
#

the mech brother idea is that instead of clone having really bad copies of cal's dead brothers she instead was given a mech that would be her brother that she sticks around with

dusk laurel
#

hpu sprites

astral coyote
#

Mkay

light linden
#

what happened to hpu?

dusk laurel
#

but plague will still get resprited'

pliant ruin
#

Instead of just bootleg version of the actual Calamitas's brothers instead calclone' "brother" would be a construct that, much like herself, was a "failed" creation of draedon

dusk laurel
#

she left

light linden
#

any public reason?

limpid saddle
#

in that she is a test-tube baby, grown in a vat with zero reference point in life outside of the scarring visions of memories that aren't her own living on survival instinct & fear

pliant ruin
#

And they form a bond together on their similar origins, working together to survive in a world that isn't very Kind to them

dusk laurel
#

she retired bcuz she overworked herself

light linden
#

got it

astral coyote
#

Hm interesting

pliant ruin
#

calclone is genuinely the single character in the mod that i think, atleast in my opinion

#

Gets consistently fumbled when it comes to redesigns or interpretations of her just because again i really dunno why people

#

really, really just lean into body horror for her

light linden
#

personally while I think more calclone stuff is neat

limpid saddle
#

thats true

light linden
#

I want more info about other continents in game first

astral coyote
#

Typically

pliant ruin
#

I guess it's probably just because the old scrapped redesign by iban was popualr so that left an impression on people

limpid saddle
#

I think a redesign should have elements of that, like with the exposed burned muscle on the face in my design, but should lean more into looking like Calamitas but, cruder, more primordial & violent

astral coyote
#

I wanna learn more about stuff so I can try making some sprites

dusk laurel
#

thunder we're getting other continent info next update!!!!! this is not relevent to clone getting more fleshed out lore

pliant ruin
#

I think calclone shouldn't look like a body horror monster but she should look like someon who's had it Rough

#

Like homeless bum that fought a bear the other day

astral coyote
#

If draedon was making her for a fucking furnace why is she a perfect human clone

limpid saddle
light linden
#

I still wonder why draedon thought it was a good idea to make essentially the ultron virus in the biggest ecological hub on the continent

split mortar
limpid saddle
#

not like, a screaming torso or something

astral coyote
#

Weird

pliant ruin
#

He wanted to replicate Calamitas's magic os the

#

natural first guess

light linden
pliant ruin
#

would be to replicate Calamitas

#

the problem is that Calamitas's power weren't biological to begin with so

#

The result was just

light linden
#

just away from 90% of living things

pliant ruin
#

Calamitas! except shes.l a normal ass person

#

or well

#

"normal" ass person yk what i mean

#

shes normal in that she dosent have fuckass powers

astral coyote
#

A blank slate with trauma

#

Hm

pliant ruin
#

anyawys shower time

limpid saddle
light linden
limpid saddle
#

go get clean

astral coyote
#

What would be cool to sprite

#

Yharim ig

light linden
split mortar
light linden
#

what about the dragon of flame?

astral coyote
#

Yharon?

split mortar
#

Also true

light linden
dusk laurel
#

yharon is not the dragon of flame

light linden
#

yharon is the dragon of rebirth

astral coyote
#

Right

light linden
#

the dragon of flame is tied to providence

astral coyote
#

Who is the dragon of flame

split mortar
#

Yharon is rebirth
Flame was eaten and consumed by providence

light linden
#

we don't know much about them currently

astral coyote
#

Huh okie

dusk laurel
#

the dragon of flame is a fucking evil dragon that was killed by providence

astral coyote
#

Interesting

#

Is there much to go off of

limpid saddle
#

no

astral coyote
#

Do most dragons look like yharon

limpid saddle
#

They were a Fucking Evil Dragon that got murdered by a lesbian polycule

dusk laurel
#

and probably the only dragon i would consider to look like the typical evil fire-breathing european dragon

limpid saddle
#

thats like all we know

dusk laurel
light linden
#

outside of providence's design not really

split mortar
#

If you want a more concrete design thing then look at ravager concept art

dusk laurel
#

all auric dragons are different

light linden
#

even then we don't know how much a dragon's design is tied to the god

astral coyote
#

That sounds easier but ravager is also a lot bigger

dusk laurel
#

the design of a god depends entirely on how much they are defined by their godly power

#

for example otonilou didnt really change physically at all when she ascended

#

and then theres sg

astral coyote
#

Hm okay

#

I will see about ravager

dusk laurel
astral coyote
#

Yep

light linden
#

the first part reminds me of dnd mimics

astral coyote
#

Yea

#

Idk if I can make that guy he big

#

I'll think about it later rn I gota to go mtg :>

plucky juniper
#

i myself should know well about transforming an existing character into a body horror version of themselves

cloud ibex
#

ok but you don't need to make just calamitas again you can make disheveled even more homeless calamitas barely keeping it together

plucky juniper
#

thats

#

calamitas

cloud ibex
#

she could be doing worse

#

that's what clone is

pliant ruin
#

The humble artificer trash goblin calclone

plucky juniper
#

but then again, if we're going off of ideas by triangle, you dont need body horror

#

you just need a sufficiently terrifying mech

pliant ruin
#

i mean yeah that's kind of my entire point

#

i think body horror is unfitting for calclone

plucky juniper
#

i think body horror is unfitting for calclone herself

#

is what you should be saying

#

becuase yknow

#

the constructs of her brothers

pliant ruin
#

I think a common sentiment i see echo in some places is that "its just a person, thats boring" and icl i find that to be a very annoying take because it really just boils down to

#

you like creature design more than character design

#

whic his liuke, fine

#

People have their preferences for what they have a interest in or like working on

#

I myself like both

#

But people who act as if character design was just inherently less valuable because "It's just a person" really miss how much nuance you can show off in character design

#

THe entire point is telling a story through visuals after all

#

creature design in of itself is a form of cahracter design but it does have a few distinct principles at times that i think make it worth separating the 2 in a context such as this

#

For me character design is when you want to tell a character's story, personality,past, or anything like that through their design
Creature desing is when you want to communicate more so a being's "nature" throguh a design - What does it do, where does it live, how does it act, etc

#

Atleast how i see it anyways maybe i'm just spouting nonsense i'm not an art student or anything

#

Not even much of an artist myself i just like good designs (tHO I'VE been trying to get better at the whole art thing)

icy veldt
#

Could always use biomancy to turn people into fucked-up flesh abominations, if you're so inclined XD

plucky juniper
#

its optional, sure, but it is doable

#

for instance:

thick slate
#

people are boring

plucky juniper
#

or yknow what

pliant ruin
#

for me creature/character design distinction usually depends on what it is youre making a design for

plucky juniper
#

to be fair, that is moreso combining creature and character design

pliant ruin
#

yeah

#

like devourer of gods is a combination of both

#

statis is just character design

#

desert scourge is just creature design

#

imo,a nyways, but again, semantics

#

ultimately

#

all of them r character designs, objectively

abstract hedge
plucky juniper
#

thats why he got the harpoons

astral coyote
#

What is poltergast really

eager bluff
#

so polterghast is what happens when you kill about probably ten thousand people and stick them all in a hole and then watch as they all get very very angry and their souls merge together into one superentity that really wants to kill you specifically

robust osprey
#

basically undertale amalgam but angrier

Horrible idea

visual cipher
#

How old is scal exactly?

#

I dont remember if she joined early on in the crusades, or around halfway though

#

based on which she should be between around 50 and 70 years old, right?

real glen
#

20s

thick slate
#

shes 20 seconds old

#

youngest person ever

real glen
#

dude

#

😭

visual cipher
#

shit she is

#

what the fuck

real glen
#

Shes 26-28
She was like 12 when joined yharim

visual cipher
#

man she joins the crusades really late

#

when did her brothers die?

#

as I understand it the catastrophe and cataclysm we fight are reanimated corpses

robust osprey
#

probably in the azafure incineration

#

which was when Scal was like 10 iirc

pliant ruin
#

She left while she was still not an adult iirc, somewhere around her 17s?

#

Her narrative would be alot harder to construct around if she had been working with Yharim and killing innocents regularly all the way into her late adulthood

robust osprey
#

how old is this thing atp can I check let me check

#

Is polterghast gonna get a resprite?

sinful adder
#

Someday yes

#

But that's a long time off

#

All the bosses will from what I understand

robust osprey
#

I heard exos levi and scal wouldn't? but that was with fab idk if that is still correct

thick slate
#

scal dont need one

#

neither do exos

#

levi too big

#

aint nobody spriting allat

robust osprey

it's true

Ive only ever played Fire Red, and didnt get past the elite 4 or whatever they were called. and my favorite is rayquaza

I hadnt really grown my grinding instincts yet atp, so I couldnt be bothered to grind to level up any of my pokemon, thats why I never beat it

Fortunately my roster seems pretty varied

For this rp, I have a dream mage, an angelic spirit, and a half-dragon goddess
With the secondary characters being a heavy axe warrior, a clairvoyant summoner, an Auric Dragon and two regular people

For future rps I have planned a weaponmaster artificer (Neoptomelus), a Radiance-style higher being (Lady Saturn), a dragon cult mad scientist, a greatsword warrior lady, and a Chrysonne cleric

plucky lichen

It’s repeating shit

I’m so fried

You won't see them on my profile

That also means you are friends with them if you see them on someone's profile

It's in the settings somewhere

I forgor where

hybrid barn

Makes sense, I guess there's just a lot of settings

It's under content and social

Anyway lore

long scaffold
#

Is Yharim and his army more powerful than Xeroc?

cloud ibex
#

no

long scaffold
#

(in his prime)

dusk laurel
#

also no

cloud ibex
#

still no

long scaffold
#

Did Xeroc just... watch?

cloud ibex
#

unknown

dusk laurel
#

yharim had no chance with killing xeroc and its probably a reason why he gave up at the end

cloud ibex
#

it's possible that they chose not to involve themselves with what happens on the planet

#

or that they were busy with something else

dusk laurel
#

there wasnt much else he could do, not much time left to train since he wouldnt be in a prime state for long, there were basically no other gods he could walk up to and kill without them running away, etc

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

yes

long bloom

the army is not what it used to be though

dusk laurel

SCal, Permafrost, and Draedon could probably leave a dent

ehhhhh

split mortar

Permafrost is not a combatent

long scaffold

Ah, thought he was

split mortar

Draedon did not have the exos back then

scal and exos combined are roughly equal to yharim iirc

and he can't do shit

Fair

split mortar
long bloom

i may not recall correctly

split mortar
#

I just flat out disagree with that what
The exo upgrades would be carrying HARD if he is that strong

long scaffold
#

Anyway, one more question:
Are dragons or gods with their Auric souls stronger? Does it depend on whether the Terminus was used?

wanton pendant
#

Only Auric Dragons have an Auric Soul.

long bloom
#

gods are generally stronger than the dragon they ate

wanton pendant
#

Gods have Godly Souls.

split mortar
#

The terminus is for perfect ascension

#

So uh

#

Not much of a data base since only silva and xeroc are the ones to have used it

wanton pendant
#

There isn't much data on perfect ascensions, but the ones we know of are quite strong.

#

You know, since one of them is literally number one.

dusk laurel
#

xeroc is the strongest being in existence

split mortar
#

Silva is third strongest god

long bloom
#

but again, their domains are life and the fucking sun

split mortar
#

Zeratros also had the fucking sun and was not xeroc level

dusk laurel
#

cancer beam or i dissolve your lungs choose

long bloom

cosmic zenith
#

I think a good lot of gods are stronger nowadays just cause gods have more reason to hone their abilities combatively then dragons did

This is a massive, arguably the biggest, reason Gods are often stronger than their respective Dragons

long bloom
#

yeah that

#

the dragons were pretty complacent

wanton pendant
#

Dragons didn't go to the gym.

dusk laurel
#

that is true

wanton pendant
#

Are they stupid?

the dragons were unified and mostly chilling, as opposed to the gods who were much more individualistic and most likely sometimes at war with each other

pulsar ocean
#

is the xerock canon what even is its lore did the rock see how xeroc ascended

hybrid barn
#

I think it's a random rock from the Aerie

#

So actually, it might've

dusk laurel
#

yeah he broke it off the aerie sometime after ascending

split mortar
#

Unless xeroc went carving more rocks its probably the only bit of damage the aerie has endured ever iirc

dusk laurel
#

i mean, the terminus also seems to be made of the same rock

#

when it was carved out i have no idea

pulsar ocean
#

how much xerocks do I need to rebuild the aerie and summon yharim

dusk laurel
#

we just know it was around when xeroc ascended with zeratros' soul

#

judging by the fact that xeroc was only able to do it with the rock after ascending, and well the dragons would be too busy dealing with ml during the invasion

#

its not unreasonable to assume it could be older than like 900 years

hybrid barn

plucky juniper
#

the dragon aerie is actually just the singular block of infernal suevite

pliant ruin

Draedon and Calamitas working together could probably reasonably beat Yharim i feel

however

Draedon working with Calamitas? Maybe

how did azafure/illmeris get breathable air?

especially the former

since there isn't any sunlight for the plants to photosynthesize

eager bluff

there are still things that consume carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen without photosynthesis

hybrid barn

cosmic zenith
# light linden how did azafure/illmeris get breathable air?
  • Azafure: firstly, it's likely the Azafurians are adapted to a lower oxygen level. Secondly, the higher pressure of the underground means there are more oxygen molecules per unit of volume. Thirdly, the Underworld probably has its own climate. As an extra, it's clear there are plants in Terraria that don't need sunlight.
  • Ilmeris: Ilmerans appear to be very versatile and efficient at breathing; their biology is a lot less clear due to the fact they are so different and probably magical.

draedon doesnt give a damn and calamitas does not want to see him nor draedon

pliant ruin
#

Yharon couldn't defeat Yharim

#

Like Yharim's just stronger

agile matrix
#

really?

#

im shocked

pliant ruin
#

I mean

agile matrix
#

i always thought they were on the same level

pliant ruin
#

If they were on the same level

#

Would Yharon be 2 tiers earlier in progression? hdflr

hybrid barn
#

Yharon used to be stronger, but between Yharim's training and his attunement to Yharon, he got to be pretty damn strong

agile matrix
#

hm

plucky juniper
#

honestly i think yharon should be the last boss before yharim

agile matrix
#

i mean he's guardianing for a reason i suppose

pliant ruin
#

Yharon and Yharim are on the "same level" in the sense Yharon isn't Yharim's pet

#

They are friends wit hmutual respect for eachother

agile matrix
#

yea

pliant ruin
#

Yharon is not Yharim's "underling"

#

but

#

in terms of actual power

agile matrix
#

they're two incredibly powerful beings

pliant ruin
#

yeah Yharon's just stronger

agile matrix
#

yea

pliant ruin
#

Yharim*

#

brain fart

agile matrix
#

whichever

#

they're the same

young socket
#

TUPID

#

TUPID CHEESE

pliant ruin
#

no they're really not the asme

plucky juniper
#

it just feels better because yknow, yhar the on is the closest friend to yhar the im, and also is why the latter went on his whole god genocide thing

agile matrix
#

idk man if you asked me which was yharon and which was yharim i could reasonably call the other the first and vice

pliant ruin
#

me when their names are almost the fucking same for some reason (fabsol

eager bluff
#

see we need to use jrr tolkien logic here

pliant ruin
#

Like ok

#

Not everything is fabsols fault

#

but this one . this one is yeah this one is his fault

agile matrix
#

i feel like yharim being less named as yharon would be nifty

pliant ruin
#

Yharim isn't his real name

#

That was the explanation given as to why it's Like That

agile matrix
#

since yharim just feels like "omg........ kawaii..... thank you for saving me........"

eager bluff
pliant ruin
#

He reanmed himself in honor of Yharon

#

Which works as a explanation by all means it'sa good one

agile matrix
#

its a good reason to have that name

#

but also like

pliant ruin
#

It just dosen't change that making them basically the almost same name is confusing :sob

#

But it's not really

#

something that can be changed reasonably

agile matrix
#

sure you can

#

resprite yharon and then also give him a mild rename it'll be okay clueless

eager bluff
agile matrix
#

ill take the fall

pliant ruin
#

maybe if Yharon and Yharim weren't two of the most iconic characters in this entire damn mod and the fact that renaming either of them would actually be a bigger issue than the confusion caused

#

by their names being similar

#

It's like changing dokuro themes its really not a good idea

hybrid barn
# pliant ruin but this one . this one is yeah this one is his fault

This reminds me of a conversation I saw on the subreddit, where one person was talking about how a lot of the shakier parts of the mod's general quality are in some way a result of Fabsol, another person came in to say "Oh, I know he was a bad person, but we shouldn't blame everything on him just because of that"

And overwhelmingly, the response was just "Yeah...but those are still his fault"

eager bluff
#

me when i want to talk about yharim but the nefarious one letter over on the keyboard

agile matrix
#

see its really funny to blame things on stuff the person did not infact do, because they did so much wrong

#

like yes fabsol crashed my car ofc they did they're fabsol

pliant ruin
#

No, not everything is fabsols fault

hybrid barn
#

But some things definitely are

agile matrix
#

not EVERYTHING but a lot of it is

pliant ruin
#

Blaming everything on him can actually be more harmful than positive

#

But at the SAME TIME

#

Uh yeah like. uh

eager bluff
#

this was him

agile matrix
#

i do it ironically

pliant ruin
#

yeah most of it is his fault

cloud ibex
#

not everything is his fault but a surprising amount is

agile matrix
#

im aware of the fact that some of the mod is not actually his fault but a lot is

#

more is his fault than is not

eager bluff
cloud ibex

for someone unfamiliar with fab it's surprising
