hello friends, this is the nicest thing i've drawn for a long time, it's my glorious oc dys abandoning all pretenses of being human!! what a blast!!

here's some world-building that you can feel free to skip.
anyway what dys is is not human. you could call her the embodiment of wrath/chaos if that's what you want to do. boyo she adores chaos but not humans, really, so she likes to watch them die. she can spend eternity in the 1800s watching the chimney sweeps die and die again. how powerful is she, exactly? well i don't really know, i haven't thought up a decent limit on it yet. she can time travel and she can create life, probably some form of shapeshifting, and?? and what. who knows.

of course she doesn't care about humans but she's gotta pretend to be one. so imagine her like a video-game glitch, clipping through walls and getting those weird distorted limbs when she thinks nobody's looking. she loves to incite chaos too, but she's the shittiest strategist you've ever seen, so she made her right hand to help her. you remember remember Thrass? of course you don't, nobody cares about my ocs. anyway she made him to help her strategize for further chaos in the future.

Thrass hates his existence because he literally should not exist (how the hell is a centipede with human arms supposed to survive, exactly) and is a freak of nature, but he hates it in a very tired, bored way, and only helps her because she'll destroy him again later. he can't destroy himself because lucky for him, she made him invulnerable. anyway. they plan and strategize and with his help dys does a few covert assassinations there, a few substantially less covert attacks on other things, oh and we can't forget the occasional trip outside this dimension to start tearing apart the fabric of reality (eventually she gets bored of having to do this by hand and creates smaller minions to do this for her (i haven't created their species yet shut up) and of course so much fucking jumping around in time. do one thing in 1992? gotta jump forwards to about 2075 to make sure it has the desired effect and see what the repercussions are. you don't like that? go back and don't do it again. doing two things now, make sure they don't interact with this other thing. dys hates this whole mess, but as the jumps to 2075 show a more and more apocalyptic earth, she slowly gets more into it.

enter diorr. you remember diorr? of course you don't. anyway, around the time that dys finally completes her perfect apocalypse, diorr's in the hospital. gotta get a prosthetic right arm and part of her leg because car accidents still happen in 2075, except the cars are fancy and shit and are magically non-polluting! assholes still go drag racing on public streets though and people sometimes happen to be walking on those public streets and they end up in the hospital. i haven't done a whole lot of world-building on this almost idyllic future time because it doesn't last very long. diorr's just been stuck in a cryo/time/something bubble for accelerated healing when dys's massive plan finally comes together.

the fabric breaks - in spills the void in thousands of little occurrences worldwide, and it doesn't destroy, but it corrupts. incidentally (re: thrass planned it this way) the corruption somehow manages to target every single AI Nexus in the world. The robots go haywire, and about one fifth of the world's population is eliminated in the first wave. by this point the void has seeped far enough underground that there a few days of fantastic earthquakes and volcanoes and general, non airborne natural disasters. most of everything is in ruins. a few rich people took to the air and they relax in magnificent floating air palaces. a real luxury. but those on earth, let's say maybe a third of the ones remaining died. but that's not all! the broken pieces of robots lying around like metal corpses rise again! not all of them, though. in sort of a gross parody of the previous systems, the AIs forge their own Nexus creatures (big amalgamations of liquid metal that ooze and slip and if you touch the metal it sinks into your skin and settles and spreads and grows) and they hunt for people to feed the nexus creatures. those who get the metal on them are shunned because those with the worst of it lose their minds and become akin to the robots. the robot phase doesn't last very long, but it's efficient at getting rid of people. then the energy is diluted out and the robots shut down for good, the walking liquid Nexuses shut down where they stand and slowly melt into a puddle. and like water, these puddles slowly run down to the deepest places they can, like how water collects in lakes. eventually whole sections of cities and houses are flooded.

survivors realize they need to close the portals to make these stop. they're briefly barricaded to try to stop things from coming out. mirrors seem to be slightly more effective at stopping things, but only slightly. eventually all but the largest shut on their own (the pressure from this realm irritates the void creatures, they reach out and close it from their side, so they could open it again at any time should they want to or so their young can come), and the largest ones are gated. who puts gates on the void portals? who knows, i haven't thought that out. the ones in the AI Nexuses are eventually destroyed by the firewall, and the energy that exist on the human plane are eventually diluted out. this takes, about, let's say a month.

survivors start rebuilding, and either attack or avoid any void-infected/metal-infected people. the most of the metal people eventually die, since they can't function normally, the mesh between metal and flesh is pretty sloppy. a few that have alright meshes manage to survive, but are persecuted. the void people & their rot are contagious, brainless, pretty much like zombies shambling around searching for people to spread their disease/rot (eggs) to, and usually are killed on sight. except they don't really die, you see, they've become the host for parasites and they can't die, the eggs of void creatures that vent off them, and eventually a big creature explodes from whatever remains of the void people. it's black and slickery and has too many eyes and wings and either slithers into a dark corner to try to snatch people to eat, or they take to the air and are never seen again, or they find their way through the gates back into the void. a real apocalypse.

our lucky heroine diorr pops out of her bubble from her pastel-colored utopia and into this world, completely buried. she's spared by a lucky few beams creating a little tent area over her, and there's a few cracks of light so she knows how to get out. in a blind panic, she digs. and she comes out, blinking, into the dusty sunlight, clad in only the hospital gown, and she sees her new prosthetic limbs. and she sees that they've escaped just being prosthetics, and they've climbed up her and her entire right half of her body is coated in metal. and an alien voice in her head takes her right arm and puts it to her still-human neck and tries to kill her. (fortunately for diorr, her robot counterpart is magnetic. she sleeps on magnets and pins them to her body and the AI on the other side of her head tries fruitlessly to break attraction but can't.) and she lives in this world, and eventually finds out who engineered this (dys & thrass) (how does she do that? through mires, who used to be someone that she knew, and some vestiges still fired in his brain and the void parasite in his body takes a liking to her and all that combined manages to get the knowledge to her) and along the way she manages to befriend her cyborg half, and she journeys through this world to the largest Void Gate she can, and she goes through. and hell happens. but she finds dys, the resident queen of this world's chaos. she demands the return of the world she once knew. and then? dys, who's been tracking her through this entire time and was highly entertained, says "sure!" and grants her a day of the world she knew, with the friends she made, and her AI is there, and everything is perfect. and she goes to sleep, surrounded by her friends. and she wakes up, buried in the hospital bubble and some sort of pleasant dream melting in the back of her mind. and dys laughs because in the end, she won, she gets to watch this exciting little pawn move through her adventure again and again and again - and every time diorr enters the void and finds dys, enters the palace of chaos, dys restores her memories. diorr suffers again and again and again and there is no escape from this cycle.
and dys laughs.
