If Ayin did distort, what kind of abilities would he have?

Dear Anonymous,

Good question! I've thought about it a lot, and I think that Ayin's Distortion would be mostly influenced by the traumas he endured, just as the Ensemble's members were all influenced by their most traumatic events;

Jae-Heon was influenced by how his son was run over by a road-roller and how his puppet was then destroyed by Roland, thus turning into a puppet-master and, subsequently, into an amalgamation of various different creatures, just like his puppets he made for Argalia.

Greta was influenced by how her fellow Eight-Chefs ate themselves and pushed themselves to the limit in the search for new tastes and flavours; her hunger and desire manifested in the form of a famished shark with many, many mouths in order to eat as much as she wanted.

And so on and so forth. If we were to follow the same formula for Ayin, I'd think that the events that marked/traumatised him the most had to be the Old Lab's raid by Garion, the Smoke War, and the loss of Carmen, so I believe his Distortion would have some form of connection to all three of these events.

Not to mention that, personally, I think Ayin was just a few wrong/right turns away in life from being the perfect Arbiter, and seeing how X manifested into a sick parody of an Arbiter himself, I'd think Ayin's Distortion would be quite similar, although with a few twists here and there.

For starters, I believe that his Arbiter gear would be more white-and-red instead of the standard and iconic gold-and-black issued to most Arbiters, mostly for the sake of artistic choices on my end, but also because I believe a Distortion would attempt to be different from the main enforcers of the City's order, as Carmen explicitly stated that, after she herself became the Voice of the Distortion, she was attempting to free the people from the City's cycle in her own, twisted way. As such, I believe she would help draw out a form that is at least visually distinct from Arbiters for her beloved Yinnie, of all people, seeing how he deserves that little pleasure the most, which is my explanation for how I'd explain this stylistic choice for Ayin while X's Distortion is a regular Arbiter outfit.

As for abilities, I'd personally assume they would be similar to what X possesses, to some degree, with typical Arbiter powers being the 'norm' for Ayin's Distortion, but I'd also assume that seeing how his trauma extends far beyond that of most of the PM characters we got to see so far, he'd also be able to tap into powers specifically from his time in the Smoke War. For example, I assume that he would be able to concentrate his powers to summon inter-dimensional portals like those used in the War, or perhaps even utilise the Smoke itself as one of his abilities to weaken opponents at the cost of it also adversely affecting him.

But I think what would also make him even more of a force to be reckoned with would be his relation to Abnormalities. I'm sure that he would resonate with quite a few Abnormality powers which Carmen would happily draw from him to make him into a bit of a indestructible force, although I'm not exactly sure on what Abnormality powers he would have access to, but one thing I am certain of is that he would without a doubt be able to manipulate blood to some extent or perhaps even mess with one's central nervous system, as an homage to his trauma with regards to Carmen. Perhaps he causes hallucinations or causes one's own mind to start attacking itself?

I think his biggest weakness would be his willingness to fight against his Distortion, it's just that he will need a lot of outside help to even have a chance at managing to ward off the Distortion, seeing how he's so full of repressed sentiments and emotions, and all of them bursting out as he Distorts would have quite the catastrophic consequences.

This was a really fun ask, and so I thank you, Anon, for providing me with it! I don't know if I can apply them somewhere soon, but this was quite fun to think of! As always, take care, stay safe, and see ya'!

What I dread the most is the definition of love given by the closed minds and the conditions that they build around it almost like a prison wall - restrained, constricted, suffocated - nearly impossible for any soul to feel liberated, let alone feel loved. Somehow their narrowed perception of something so universal, something so beautiful, gets utterly distorted and destroyed. What they have to offer is a bird held in some golden decorated cage, clipping its wings, restricting its movement. Perhaps I'm speaking too much in the abstract. But here's the simplest test, if your love doesn't make you feel at home, if it doesn't make you feel heavenly, if it doesn't make you even feel good, then clearly it isn't love at all...

Nox: I learned some very valuable lessons from this.

Tobias: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should’ve taken away.

Nox: Death isn’t real, and I’m basically God.

How does a distorted X will fight Roland and Ayin? What annoying thing X will do if it's in a game? What happens if Roland and Ayin loses to X? To the de-agers?

Dear astrocurier,

Hello! It's always a pleasure to see you again! And with more questions regarding Distortions, it seems as if a lot of asks are curious with their regards, hehe.

I think that Distorted!X would've used Arbiter-esque powers in an attempt to overpower both Roland and Ayin; he would've thrown them around like ragdolls, used the surrounding furniture as makeshift weapons to throw at them, and perhaps used the tendrils that came out of him as a sort of extra member that could sweep an area behind his back and thus cover that blind-spot for him, allowing him to focus all of his attention on attacking in every possible direction instead of having an obvious weak-point that could be easily and seriously exploited by his adversaries. I believe he would also be able to summon spikes and stakes from the ground, not to mention that the shockwaves he would possess and the pillars could have a myriad of 'creative' applications that I doubt will be very pleasant when applied against either Roland or Ayin. And of course, the chain nooses aren't simply for decoration; they could probably be fashioned into whips of sorts of a method of grabbing enemies from afar.

Something annoying he could do if he was a gameplay element? Well, I think that Distorted!X would have very strong regeneration powers to make up for the large, distended stomach of his that would be self-repairing at every moment to regenerate the damage it's causing itself. As such, he would be very difficult to push down because it's not just about beating him, it's also about demoralising him enough to the point where his regeneration is no longer effective. Not to mention that said regeneration could probably grant him access to some devastating attacks such as the ability to generate lots of blood and then release it with a high pressure by lacerating a small part of his body in order to blind/harm foes with the resulting fountain of blood. A bit cheesy and maybe a little too gorey to the point of comedy, but PM games always did have the occasional bit of comedy to them with attacks, so I suppose this fits the bill as well.

As for the last question, I think that they would simply be forced to comply, at least outwardly. Distorted!X never wanted to harm either of them, after all; he simply wanted them to see the errors of their ways and to give up on returning the children back to adults at all. Even if he did want to harm them, I doubt Distorted!Carmen as his muse will allow him to harm her beloved Yinnie in any way or form, so his end goal would be to beat Roland and Ayin into submission and force them into forgetting about the De-Agers in general and the fact that there was a life before the De-Aging Incident; he wants them to just enjoy the new life that they have without questioning it or seeking to return to a life before it. I believe he may try to destroy the De-Agers to reach his goals and attempt to force Roland and Ayin into accepting the fact that there's no way to turn back the clock as they originally wanted, though with his more...shall we say, warped mind, it may be possible to trick him into destroying similar-looking trinkets and hide the De-Agers until the opportunity is right to strike back...

But that's a line of thought for another time! For now, and as always, thank you ever so much for the fun asks, astrocourier, and for the immense patience you display while waiting for each answer. I hope to see more of your asks, and until next time, be well, stay safe, and see ya'!

[below: The word 'disorder' is mirrored. You can interpret it as 'reverting disorder' alias some sort of 'reverting entropy by distorting some tiny parameters of the dynamical system' - I enjoy this witty pun! ]
