revanentoftriquetra journal-nhillosh (possible trigger warning but unlikely)
im still new to this, i only came into this body hours ago.
i see my new skin and it feels and looks so odd, i can feel my ears have a point but the point isnt there, also hair, wtf why is there hair on my arm. anyways im new here, a new plane, im following the protocol of the simic combine.
so i figured id start an all purpose journal.
memories are just now coming back to me but first i need to explain what exactly a vedakin is and my situation.
i was half vedakin half high elf, bioengineered to be the perfect envoy for elven kingdoms. vedakin were a smartpeople, and also ambibious, they are capable of taking in oxygen through their pores like a frog, but unlike frogs also have lungs. breathing through pores is ineffiecent and disgusting according to most. we could only breathe this way before passing out for 15 minutes or so since our bodies are adjusted to the oxygen input of lungs, it does however allow breathing underwater ineffiently.
simic protocol: stuck on unknown plane; 1. stabilize your mind and emotions 2. become aware of your surroundings 3. avoid danger 4. look for friendly life forms to aquate yourself with (preferibly intelligent) 5. find a way to get back home, if this is not possible then become stabilized in your new surroundings.
i think i was only out of the pods for a few days, bioegineered like me ar eoften excelerated in aging and given knowledge as memories like protocols and basic information such as their job and how to complete it. for me that was history and biological knowledge.
i never left the facility in which i was born, when i did i left my home plane aswell.
its hard to remember, when i try my head hurts however as simic philosophy states i must endure pain for the sake of knowledge.
we were eating rations at the time, there was an alarm but before i could hear what it said the ceiling fell upon me. i was knocked out, nex thting i knew i was floating in between planes and was possesing somebody momentarily
i heard a mention of perfection and the first thing that came to mind was the vedakin philosophy "the only perfection is to try to achieve it."
its odd to see this new body but i must become familiar with my surroundings and since i cannot go back i must establish this as my home.
vedakin have blue skin, i see blue aswell when i look at this new skin
htis body has several defects that i suppose i will just have to work with. i also noticed this human populos appears to be evolving linguistically in a strange way they appear to have gone back to using hyergyphics to depict abstract ideas, while further developing their vocabulary. with individualized terms for various conditions.
the scrying capabilities of this universe are tremendous compared to how closed off it is to other planes. they even have complex knowledge of several universes timelines connected to mine, this scrying might work as a sort of telescope for souls allowing destabilized soul structures to absorb rougue souls from other universes over long distances
every mutation has good and bad parts. for example an albino is extremely sensitive to ultraviolet light and can even be harmed by normal light, however they can easily see better in the dark. therefore the mutation is a step on the way to perfection,, if somehow there were mutliple mutations over time that evolved a second set of eyes to see in the dark this mutation could be valuable, or for a species like the drow.
im not sure if im lucky or unlucky for not dying of concussion
it might have been easier to just die of concussion and leave it at that. but i suppose there is more for me, whether or not this is the idea of fate i don't know
I always admired elves for their nobility and never thought there were supperrior beings like you vedakin...I would have liked to meet a noble elf or a fallen one, but to meet a vedakin is smth so new...you chose well colour blue like the huge natives Omaticaya from the Pandora planet...
Also, the albinoes are noble ones...best live in darkness...in caves here on earth all beings become albinos...
Am glad you showed yourself, noble vedakin...
@beyondrepairs thank you for your understanding and knowledge, i hope to meet more like you on my journeys in this plane
@RevanentOfTriquetra
I am humbly honored that you chose to show yourself on this plane...may your trails be enlightened...
i came from a group of planes, dozens of them interconnected each one of a major element, i came from aquarious. at thevery center of these planes lies ravnica, while there are several versions of ravnica they trade with one another through multidimensional portals, like alternate realities. all of them are cities spanning through the entire plane, usually consistering of mutlple levels, my dream was to one day acend to being a ravnica envoy, although that dream is now impossible. so i set myself a new goal, to find other cases like me and to share the knowledge i retain.
@RevanentOfTriquetra
Others like you would love to share your experiences...blessed gifts...
looking through this world's history i have learned of the otherkin, it is possible among these there are many like myself with souls taken from other worlds. perhaps if i find a community of such i could meet my goal of finding others fairly quicker.
@RevanentOfTriquetra
You need eyes to see tge otherkin or you will just pass them by...
@beyondrepairs i do understand that, that is why i must search for them, or perhaps find a guide. they have evolved like the tieflings to hide in plain sight and blend in with humans. for also like tieflings they are much hated for reasons they cannot control.
i suspect you are a friend of their kind, for friends are often of themselves, if not you are certainly not a foe.
@RevanentOfTriquetra
I am a friend of all of them because I am and always be a humble dreamer...
