Arcane Abyss Sea, the Atlantean Infection AU

mirage you smell like a filthy clankerbrain

The trick I use is to be so autistic and cringe that it couldn’t possibly be A.I., because A.I. is way too mundane to make anything remotely as weird as I do.

oh my god guys look what i found


totally not 2 minutes in snipping tool

with the Vastus athena wisdom, do you think there is a chance we could find a pure blood vastus as a rare miniboss/boss in the dark sea? Or even have 1 show up in abyss sea as a major threat

okay but what if

Vastus killed a Goliath and now wears the Goliath stone as armour after hollowing it out

or they both come to the war seas from different directions and eventually have a fight that destroys a bunch of shit
(Imagine the stepstones fully collapse also releasing Ormolu while isolating the sky islands from the sea, and since curse power has become more unstable in abyss sea Ormolu would be a lot more chaotic and unpredictable as the powers just short circuit)

I don’t think those Vastus will still be recognisable as such, we’ll just prob see an enormous Atlantean instead

Did the vastus have anything else to them other than just being, like, big huge people?

Because if so I could definitely see it being them having a different set of mutations from the dark sea compared to normal

Uh, no… They’re just big people who got access to magic before humans did

Explain them that according to the square cube law, they shouldn’t exist or at least have a hard time getting around and they’ll take care of themselves

Guess they lived with magic’ assist

Also considering how the magic mutation makes normal atlanteans bigger, do you think there would also be larger versions of mutated Vastus in farther areas? (if they are not made exclusively for the farther zones anyway)

Vastus are already pretty big, imagine if they got bigger. Would also be cool to have a miniboss/boss that isn’t just a random sea monster in the middle of the ocean and instead something you could find on land

Aren’t that what dragons are supposed to be?

And yes, I am certain Vastus would get bigger the more atlanteanified they are

yeah but most of them will be able to fly and flying enemies can be annoying to deal with compared to other enemies (one of the mentioned possible mutations for dragons on the trello also said smth abt crippled wings for the further ranges in i2+ along with whatever buffs the dragons may get)

Would still be nice to have variation to the kind of boss enemy you could get

Skyhall is so cooked for this, if you look at the stats for the region skyhalls army is like sub 200 soldiers :skull:
Like just imagine waking up one day and instead of the blue ocean it’s all just purple water, with slowly raising clouds coming towards you

oh damn

the sirens are gonna start feasting ig

Monos island is only beat by Orthys for this one… think…
+Fresh water & fish
+High elevation
+Easily barricadable areas
+Apples and mushrooms (unlike Orthys)
-Bear
-Low army

I think the bears (both Atlantean and normal) will attack the atlanteans

On the bright side there is no Atlanteans

Atlantean Sirens out in the far reaches (Everyone is already eaten before they get there)
