Oh look some Mr. Pilot! stuff.

I have no idea why I decided to try updating the art/alien designs for my marshmallow as hell sci-fi thing, but I did or sorta tried.  I overhauled Kyr’s species to be capable of more practical movement.  I think his species looks nicer now, but that could just be me.

The Greys also got a little redone in that they are less fleshy and more segmented and generally more like insects- because there is no such thing as TOO MANY BUGS IN SPACE.

The Qintae (Dr. Naquir) have a bizarre setup in that yes, all three of those belong to the same alien race.  I’m still not sure on the overall color scheme of their species yet. I’m leaning towards how the Vach look but I’m still not sure if that should apply to the whole race or if these selections of colors are possible across all three.

I actually haven’t checked if their base uniforms will even match any of these color schemes, barring Versh since he’s always been associated with that sort of yellow and because the uniform is generally kind of dark anyway.

As for actually updating Mr. Pilot!, ahaha, sorry, I don’t think I can pick it back up again (yet).  I feel I still need to overhaul the aliens and nail down some more of their details.

Typically I wouldn’t post this but I ended up farting away my day working on this and getting distracted by the internet instead of working on another DeSTRESS page, OOPS.  Anyway, this is my boringest presentation of sci-fi things ever (bullet points are pretty boring!) that spawned from me checking if the sihloettes were decent or not. I also came to the rather slow realization I seem to like doing arm-y designs.

I guess this is pre-planning for Mr. Pilot! if I ever get around to it. (It’s MOE MOE sci-fi slice of life! Not really.)

Enjoy I guess?

*Also that image is horizontally really long! (Please note that the information is not complete! These are just some bits of info I wanted to list out.)

The FAILED February Challenge, I died out at Feb 9th or something.  Uploading it now for your enjoyment!

General information of personnel is public (on-base).  Some of this public information is: name, rank, unit (if applicable), status (active/inactive), active time (how long they have been on base) and their “Message Box” which is a form of email.  Information that is still considered “public” but a little harder to find would be a photo of what they look like, their race/species, sex and address of their personal quarters.

Medical information is only available to medical personnel and on a mission/assignment-related basis.

Uh, I guess a female (human) Azure Pilot and a female gray (probably the same host-unit as Versh’s)

Who knows when they’ll show up.

Who knows when I’ll draw them with effort? )8

The Mess Hall functions much like a cafeteria, food is labeled by species so that food can be picked out more efficiently. None of the food served is deadly to any of the other species (as part of dietary screening), however certain foods have favor and health relevant to the species. (ie: A Gray might get aged/raw meat, a Human would get relatively fresher and cooked meat.)

From the Mr. Pilot series.  …Uhh one of the other aliens on-site, debating if she ever appears or not.

Feedback on design please?

One thing that is certain is that the “R” symbol stands for RESEARCH.

“Matestare” is a rough equal to “oh just fuck already” but stated in a (in Kyr’s head) far classier manner than the f-bomb.

The concept of extended silent starting/glaring is an act of displaying an interest in mating or territorial aggression in Chevaas’ (Kyr’s species) culture, though typically this act goes on for several more minutes, not just (this instance of) awkward silence.

While it may seem trivial, the use of the language is indicative of how Kyr’s generation has managed to grasp the concepts of sarcasm and hyperbole and are used fairly competently.

Whether this is a good or a bad thing for Chevass-OtherRace relations remains to be seen.

EDIT: Oops, had to fix that, sometimes tumblr can confuse me so much )8

Versh is of a species called “Grays”. The nickname comes from how the adolescent form of his species looks like the “Gray Child” alien of past years.

A unique trait of Grays is that they technically lack conventional/functional sexual organs but due to the nature of their biology, can assume vestigial sexual traits. However because of their extended interactions with humans, later generations of Grays have taken to assuming a gender pronoun of their choosing.

The most notable trait of Grays is their reproduction, which functions much like a virus’s. They will inject their genetic material into a host and the resulting offspring will mimic some of the visual and beneficial physiology of the host “parent.” While helpful to the Grays, such reproduction is almost always fatal for the host “parent”.

Despite such a nightmarish process, they maintain very friendly terms with the humans and were one of the first alien species that humans came into contact with.

*Even though Grays can “infect” a variety of species they will always maintain their leanness, high metabolism (comparatively to a human’s), bipedal structure, biological symmetry and carnivorous diet.

Versh himself is part of Corvus Patrol, one of the several on-site military groups stationed at the base.

Kyr’s species is called Chevaas. And the fellow that just did a dramatic dive shall be introduced properly for the next segment. (As will that little critter.)

Also if it isn’t apparent, all members of the establishment have their rank and job on their left shoulder/arm or the equivalent of such on their person at all times. They are required to wear their rank even if they are technically off-duty- the exception would be when they are 1. stripped of rank or 2. unable to perform their job due to injury or sickness.

Kyr is of a peculiar alien species whose bone structure is most similar to birds and reptiles. They are also one of the few intelligent species allied with humans that lack (functional) arms in the upper portions of their skeleton region. Biologically they have two “sets” of joints, all that remains of the “upper” set are vestigial stumps that may have permitted flight or “regular” hands. Their lower set of pelvis/shoulders possess a great degree of flexibility as the limbs function as both hands and feet. They also manage to use most human inventions efficiently despite having significantly thicker digits and lacking thumbs.

Their species also possesses a mighty tail used for balance and “sitting”, it is common for this species to “perch” on their tail. Contrary to what their canines would indicate, they are technically herbivores (their native vegetation is exceptionally tough and bears texture/consistency similar to flesh).

Kyr in particular has integrated well with humans and even insists on wearing human issued uniforms despite lacking the proper arms to wear them. He’s getting to know Pilot Alock more than he’d appreciate due to the increasing amount of reports A07 files. One may think of the behavior would warrant investigation into A07’s behavior, Kyr is often on standby status so the “extra” work is negligible to Kyr’s superiors.

A(ZURE)07 is a model of Body-Armor/Mech hybrid intended for military use. In an attempt to ensure that the technology is not abused it comes equipped with a primitive AI (with strict protocols). It is only able to access it’s combat functions when a biologically (living) being is piloting it.

The AI is also used whilst the pilot is using the unit to ensure that the pilot does not (intentionally or unintentionally) disobey orders or misuse the unit. The AZURE’s AI is constantly relaying information with it’s Parent AI that is located at it’s home base (the Parent AI sends out/processes Orders and Information).

When the pilot is not piloting the unit, it will function at the same level as other “Docile” helper robots. A07 happens to be “malfunctioning” in that it specifically nags/hounds/follows Pilot Alock. However since there is little detriment to either the unit or the pilot’s performances no action has been taken to rectify this problem, yet.
