Description
Io (like the moon aye-oh) is my Alien-universe OC. She's a teenage drama queen. Ha, see what I did there?
Actually her story is a little bit involved, but it has to do with the Alien: Resurrection experiments. It's like, some people years later found the old lab and got all interested and started to renew the research with better technology. More or less there was an accident, and the lab director's young daughter got facehugged. They would have done immediate surgery, but this time the little larva thing was a young queen, and even though daddy was like "It doesn't matter, get it out!" the "company" was like, "Nah, we gave you millions in funding to get a queen, sorry dude, shouldn't have brought your daughter to work."
So she dies in his arms and they keep the queen. But, thanks to the new tech, the queen isn't as blarg-killer-animal yet (or else she'd be boring lol), and they study her. Her intelligence, body shape, and maturation rate are more human than previous subjects, so she actually has an intermediate stage between young and reproductive adult, which is where the bulk of the story takes place. Basically, the daughter was like 15 or something, and when the queen, Io, reaches the equivalent of a 15-year-old maturity-wise, her growth halts for a while, and they realize that the most recent memories of the daughter were imprinted on the alien fetus, so this whole time Io has been growing up thinking she was some twisted version of the daughter, which explains why she wasn't violent towards the dad scientist, unlike everyone else she would try to kill. So, then he's all sad, and secretly attempts to come up with a serum that would block maturation, so Io never became reproductive and therefore a threat/experimental subject. But, time is running out, for once she and he form some semblance of communication, the more she remembers about the daughter's life, the more accelerated her maturation becomes. So, she wants to remember, but it's bad to remember, so she has to try not to remember, which makes her remember more, and dad is trying to help, but also wants to find out how much of his daughter imprinted, and it's a mess.
In the end, dad kinda goes a little nuts, a explosion releases Io who is on the brink of being able to lay eggs, fire burns the lab down, and he has to shoot Io in the face to kill her and save the world. Dun dun dun.
The end XD

Neill Blomkamp (the director of D9) was heavily influenced by Alien Being a megafan of both myself, that's not surprising.

She's very elegant looking, good work on the design. And the story based around her sounds like fun - just how the cruel alien universe works.

As much as I love and respect the original alien design, it's refreshing to see a well-crafted, re-imagined design and personal touches like yours here. Her story is very unique. Are you or have you been writing her story? If yes, I'd be excited to read it.

I don't write much in story-form, I just jot down the ideas so I don't forget. I should commission a writer or something, because I have so many ideas, and though I am a pretty good writer myself, it's not something I really enjoy XD
Thank you! If I ever write more, I'll be sure to let you know!

oh no, that's adorably sad… I was a bit iffy at first about the design, but reading the description it seems you've got it all figured out. I hope you do something with her in the future!

It's almost too human, I admit. I was going through old sketches, and this one is at least a year and a half old if not a full 2 years old. I would definitely make some changes if I were to redo it, but I was fond enough of this original that I left it alone. If I could do it again, I'd still leave her fairly human, more so than the canon alien queens, but ever so slightly more, idk, dinosaur-y?

Yeah, that's why I tried to sound it out. She was named after the Galilean moon, but in some fonts you can't tell if it's an uppercase I or a lowercase L.

sorry,not me it means ''i'' i am italian,so i can't write in english,as you can see.In fact,GethEngyneer is also my origin name,so when i play i am GethEngyneer.But with the ''y'' because Origin thinks ''Engineer'' is an offensive word.

Ha, coulda fooled me! Your English is better than a lot of American natives. That's so weird about "engineer," but I could understand if it didn't allow "therapist" because if you split that up... yeah....

GethEngineer In reply to Techta [2014-07-09 22:21:18 +0000 UTC]
Coulda? Is that "it could"?
And split in what way? I don't get it...oh wait you mean the...and the other word...because i heard that word...but i need to go and look what that means...
