@Ashevelendar@dragonmancer Do you both want to do a collab post, or just each of us put up a separate post before transitioning to the next day?

@Riffus Maximus

You should shamelessly shitpost in the Discord until one of our resident artists caves in to your demands.

@January

Who wouldn't want an awesome pic like this one:

Aaron Erikson

While the ride in the truck, the laser light show put on by the two Precursors, and the shadowy and deadly nature of the monsters that seemed similar to those of the Precursor named Menagerie (who he had heard of in the news years ago) had all been interesting twists along what seemed to be a "bizarre" sort of trip to the facility they were being taken to, Aaron had hoped that once they had arrived they would at least be able to get in quickly so they could get through the entrance things and maybe get out of the cuffs they were all inked together by. If nothing else, he had hoped to get into one of his games and maybe cook some fried chicken to try to help him adjust once he got the chance to go to whatever room he was assigned to.

Yet this did not seem to happen as he had hoped. Upon being walked into a containment room, threatened, and then having guns pointed at them, multiple people in the "chain gang" they had been all strung up in decided to do some things he admittedly thought were nothing short of "stupid" right now. From a Irish-accented girl shouting random words, which for all any of them knew were how she used her magic, to multiple people barking out and snapping back at the armed and dangerous people pointing guns at them, Aaron felt it possible from what was happening alone that a number of the people around him seemed (to his perspective) wanted to "die" or get one of the others killed. Personally, he really did not want to die because of that. He really, really did not want to die because "Mr./Ms. Gloom and Doom" and company shouted out at the people who seemed more than willing to kill any of them. For pity's sake, to avoid himself or his own mother being shot by some person he didn't know just because Aaron himself had become a "subnatural" was one reason he had come here willingly and voluntarily.

If nothing else, though, Aaron felt it was interesting for a moment when the one girl in their chain gang slipped off her cuffs somehow, the skinny, amber-eyed boy leaning over and looking at her with a raised eyebrow in slight surprise at the scene, before pulling his head back to avoid possible bullets and letting out a sigh. Looking at the person to his immediate right in their chain gang after this, he looked as the seemingly terrified and quivering boy spoke about just getting the ankle cuff and not being killed on the spot. Unlike like some of the other people it seemed, to Aaron, that this was among one of the few people who did not want to die here. Sure, to Aaron he looked like he was about to "pee his pants" if anything went down, but at least he seemed to have a little sense around him at this point in time. Beyond that, a better look by Aaron down both sides of the chain gang allowed him to see a few more of the people who seemed to not be speaking out or doing random things that could get them killed.

"Can i please not be shot for what the others are doing?" the brown haired boy said, raising a hand in a cautious manner, a light clank of his own cuffs and chains happening as he did so as he spoke to the woman with a gun who had been speaking to them in a rather threatening manner, "I'll take the ankle cuff willingly as well, just to be clear on the matter."

'And hopefully i don't get a bullet in my brain in a moment. That would probably be the best thing right now, eh?' the boy thought to himself afterwards, a displeased look working its way onto his face as he glanced back at the slight bit of chaos going on with his fellow "chain gang members" at the moment.

Can someone please put up a link again to the Discord here by the way?

Also, as things have worked somewhat well today, i am currently working on a first post for Aaron the RP. Though still, i will not be here Saturday due to going to my sibling's wedding, and now might not possibly be here Friday as well now since a couple of wedding preparations for my sibling's wedding this Saturday require some more "hands on deck" to make sure it's all ready in time. :/

Aaron is a firstly someone whose personality, like his appearance, can usually be described on first glance as "chill", with him seemingly on average taking on a more calm and relaxed approach to things in general. While this generally leads many to think he does not like to speak or could possibly be lazy on first glance, Aaron is someone who will also not hesitate to speak up or even be blunt about his opinion if he feels like it, and he believes in working hard to get better at anything he needs to do or sets his mind on doing. For him, though, one "something" he really enjoys honing his skill at is video games, a thing that due to the nature of his magic has extended to him practicing using his magic and enjoying doing such due to the nature of his magic. However, beyond this enjoyment of video games and his magic Aaron can enjoy a good book or two, and admittedly once in a while enjoys writing a poem or two (a trait gained from his mother), though he does not usually speak about this "poetic habit" at all and would be embarrassed to admit this to anyone else really.

Usually he does not mind hanging/being around people or being friendly to those people he feels are worth the effort, and could be a generally good friend to those who get close enough to him who is good at listening, is a shoulder to cry on, and is able to give an honest opinion when it comes down to it. As a person he sees "no point in moping about things" and feels it is important to "forge ahead" without looking back too much at the past beyond what he feels a person needs to learn from it. With that in mind, dwelling too much on the past (whether on his part or audibly on the part of someone around him) can drive him to irritation and frustration. He can also become quickly irritated, frustrated, or possibly even angered in the presence of overly-pessimistic, "edgy", "overly focused on the past", "jerk", and otherwise "dark" individuals, whose "doom and darkness" according to him is something that just gets under his skin. He also tends to find it hard to let go of a grudge against those who harm those he feels he has a strong/close enough romantic, friendship-based, or even familial-like attachment to. In fact, he is willing to throw himself into a literal inferno or the very jaws of death if it meant saving those he cares about most, something that could perhaps honestly come to bite him in the butt or even kill him depending on how those situations go down.

ℍ 𝕚 𝕤 𝕥 𝕠 𝕣 𝕪 :

Aaron was born and originally lived in the Deep South, specifically in the state of Alabama in the United States. He was fortunate in that he lived a mostly calm and good live among the overall chaotic world he lived in with his family in their suburban home until things eventually changed. Finding his town caught in the midst of an attack by a large, oddly tentacle-utilizing monster that seemed right out of Lovecraftian lore, his home was destroyed and he and his mother were the only two survivors among his household of five people. Despite this happening at the ripe and young age of eleven, the boy lived with his mother in a new town until the age of fourteen, with her teaching him to "keep moving forward no matter what" and leading to him gaining his current disposition by the age of fifteen when he underwent his awakening two days before his sixteenth birthday. The next morning after that fateful night of his awakening, he arose to find a certain white mark on his face, an though his mother asserted she would not turn him over if he wanted to hide, he chose to turn himself in so his mother would not suffer the stigma of having a "subnatural" living in her home. In return, his mother promised to stay in contact with him if possible and promised that she would always still love him.

Now Aaron's here, a willing volunteer to go to USARILN East along with the menageries of other students brought there for various reasons and in various different manners. To him, it is at least an interesting prospect that, if it does not kill him first, could possibly become the most interesting part of his life.

Clockwork Genesis

Aaron is able to summon/generate small, clockwork creatures from thin air, and can summon anywhere up to three of these clockwork creatures at a single given time at maximum. Each of these clockwork creatures summoned can be up to the size of a large dog at most, and are summoned in "batches" ranging from one to three clockwork creatures per batch. However, each "batch" takes five minutes to summon, regardless of how many clockwork creatures he is summoning in a single given batch. These clockwork creatures, deadly and rather durable themselves, can also be summoned with one or many more "mundane" attachments on them such as guns, flamethrowers, functional flying mechanisms or wings, and things like having chainsaws for tails depending on what Aaron wills them to be summoned with. It also goes without saying that he can summon clockwork creatures of vastly varying appearance and shape, from the natural to the supernatural in terms of appearance.

Yet these summoned clockwork creatures have no intelligence or autonomy, having to be individually controlled by Aaron. This control is done via special controls panels, one appearing for each clockwork creature he summons, that appear in front of him and float in the air when his clockwork creatures are fully summoned. These control panels will follow him around as he moves around, but only as long as he is making some kind of physical contact with those control panels while he is moving. These control panels each control like video games, much to his delight, and to facilitate controlling his summoned creatures at a distance and even from long distances a translucent "screen" appears in the air over each control panel (moving with each control panel they are attached to if Aaron moves) that gives Aaron a rotate-able, 3rd person perspective of each clockwork creature as he controls them.

Control panels can be destroyed as well, however, which would mean the creature under that panel would also collapse and fall apart and would need to be re-summoned once more since parts of destroyed control panels and/or summoned clockwork machines cannot be "recycled" in any manner by this power. It also goes without saying that if a clockwork creature is destroyed, its accompanying control panel is also destroyed as a result.

He was walking down a corridor composed of a walkway on the bottom, surrounded by whirring, spinning gears, gadget, and gizmos all made of clockwork.

Small, clockwork creatures ran to and fro between their legs, scurrying about like happy children on a sunny day. Eventually, he and his companion emerged from the end of the corridor, and before them lay a sunny, warm landscape with cities, grasslands, and a sort of peace that a world without monsters ravaging it could perhaps attain someday.

Was kept up late doing some last-minute homework i received today, so i decided to take care of something here before getting off for the night.

I have sent a response in the PM to make my choice and ask a few questions for the sake of clarification in regards to my choice if that's ok.

So with this said, i shall finally head off to bed! Night!
