There has been much colluding between @tachyon-omlette and I regarding our OCs, Sandman and Eda of Unicron (as well as Eda's brothers Ethos and Logos)

And such colluding has resulted in Sandman kinda. EATING Sideways (as well as being recreated as a Unicronian Transformer thanks to Eda)

He's been dilfified. Grandpafication. He's also now haunted by Every Single Thing Sideways has done in the past and Boy That's Not Good For Sandman's Mental Health. But hey at least Ethos is kept in line. Mostly.

Quintus, known to some religious sects as the Light of Knowledge. Scientifically minded, there is plenty to know about this prime.

Read it below~

Quintus was one of the 13 primes, and was known to be very science-orientated. They were naturally inquisitive, going as far as to question the very nature of things, though he quickly learned to keep those thoughts to himself.

Quintus was close with the later primes, notably Liege, Amalgamous, Megatronus, and Thirteen, as well as Alchemist, who shared a similar wonder of the world.

Quintus would often go on adventures for extended periods of time, recording everything they encountered before giving it to Alpha Trion. Quintus was not alone on these trips, either. Their companion, a strange bot by the name of Eda, was always by their side.

Despite the origin of Eda, Quintus didn't mind him. Quintus actually cares quite a bit for the bot. Before Thirteen and Megatronus died, Quintus and Eda were, essentially, dating in human terms. Though after the two aforementioned primes died, Quintus was quick to flee Cybertron, not having a chance to tell Eda.

Quintus was later captured by the Quintessons. Recognizing the weight of the name of a prime, the Quintessons would use the prime's name as a basis when invading Cybertron. They would also steal the Emberstone from Quintus.

The Emberstone was also Quintus' spark.

The Quintessons slowly killed Quintus.

Though the prime wished to find his lost love. He requested to Primus to reincarnate him, he didn't care which form, and he was fine with starting anew with no memories, but he wished to be able to recognize his love.

Eda of Unicron belongs to my friend @tachyon-omlette! Xaer really creative and I absolutely love xaer ideas. Xaer also really good at drawing robots and have a fic for xaer OC, though set in TFP. Go check xaer out!

Primus could not deny that.

fuck it. proper info card (read before interacting)

this entire blog is gonna be a semi-dedicated thing for my oc, Eda (aka Pathos of Unicron). I'm very new to tumblr rp stuff & may not take it entirely seriously (I do shit for fun) but if you want to interact here's some rules & nav shit below:

I'm over 18 and would prefer not to interact with minors

there's liable to be foul language and references to sex/innuendo (nothing explicit), as well as themes of violence, torture, and abuse. this shit may not always be present but Eda has not led a peaceful life in any way, and I'll tag this stuff as needed

open to interact w canon or OCs as long as you note in your interaction ask what continuity your character is from and/or interacting through (ex. [insert intro line w/e] [IDW]). there's a lot of versions of Eda running around & while I can probably look at your blog & extrapolate it'd be way easier on me if you just made it plain

in that same vein, the current continuities avaliable (ft. the tags under which they will be nested) are:

Unicron Trilogy [Aurex Cluster]

IDW Comics [Primax Cluster]

Transformers Animated [Malgus Cluster]

Bay Films [Tyran Cluster]

Transformers Prime/Aligned Continuity [Uniend Cluster]

this list is subject to change but for rn here's what's avaliable

uhhhhh no magic anons

I'll add more rules as I see fit to make adjustments & find my comfort zone. I'll also ignore asks that do not acknowledge my rules and/or that make me uncomfortable

main is @tachyon-omlette

check the #[navigation] tag for more info about tagging & other things probably. for more questions send an ask :]

TFA Eda. Malgus Eda.

This man has witnessed the rise and fall of planets, civilizations, Magnuses, and his own sense of self, all while tracking down his siblings with the intent to destroy them - and they, too, watch him from the shadows, carrying out Unicron's will while playing out a grand scheme to bring about the end of all things by design. His story involves a lot of suffering, a few bright spots, and then amplified suffering when all good things are brought to an untimely end. He was never meant to know peace.

TFA Eda Lore Timeline

(art by the wonderful @thewiglesswonder, who is in large part the reason why I am so dedicated to ensuring this lore post is made real - even if I have to break it into parts)

Part 1: Where All Things Begin

Eda of Unicron exists not by accident (or so it is said), but as one of a set of three powerful, dangerous creations, made only with the purpose of carrying out Unicron's will - to pave the way for the destruction of the universe by Persuading its guardians, most notably the Thirteen, created by Unicron's ancient enemy, to destroy themselves through whatever method worked best.

Ethos was a master of betrayal and diversion, changing loyalties and betraying so-called comrades on a dime, sowing discord as he went along. He was agile and an opportunist but not very physically strong, preferring his victims, his siblings, or his creator to do the heavy lifting when it came to combat; he was, however, able to reformat himself into virtually any form, allowing him to take on a vast array of guises - though he often retained certain cosmetic similarities, claiming it was his "brand" - and could even put himself back together after enduring fatal injuries.

Logos was much stronger by comparison, and could readily handle himself in combat, but his true skill lay with his capability to alter reality. He could manipulate the memories and surroundings of his victims separately, could imitate any creature's voice flawlessly, creating fractures in individual paradigms and forcing even the sanest of minds into states of paranoia and disarray. Outwardly, he showed little emotion, his tone flat and body language static, and he often masterminded how each of his siblings would act to bring Unicron's will to fruition, in between causing friends, families, and trusted allies to turn on one another.

Then there was Pathos.

Pathos was Unicron in miniature, granted all his capabilities proportionate to his size (which was itself quite impressive), born of that which Unicron cast out of himself and by that virtue possessed one skill that his creator did not. He could sense the emotions of any living thing - though it was easiest with energon-imbued organisms - as naturally as humans can smell, feel, or taste. He was meant to destroy the more easily vanquished worlds and ferry their resources to his siblings and creator, and do little else... but he possessed this sixth sense, seemingly by pure accident, and it was a burden on his anti-spark. How was he meant to not only perpetuate but enjoy the universe's destruction as his siblings did, when he could so acutely sense it cry out in pain, fear, and sorrow with every blow? 

He asked Logos if he, too, harbored any doubts, but Logos claimed that getting twisted up about his purpose was complete bogus, that he should get straight with the big U and stop harshing the vibe. He asked Ethos a similar question, and was told that the universe would either destroy itself or get destroyed, so he should quit whining and enjoy the ride or else join the universe in getting curbstomped.

He couldn't disobey Unicron outright, not on his own, so he reached out to the Thirteen, the first and strongest creations of Primus, whom he and his siblings had faced in combat many times before. Though they distrusted him, in the end they reached an accord: while the Thirteen would coordinate a final strike upon Unicron himself, Pathos would strike against his siblings, and do his best to keep them occupied.

While Unicron was rendered successfully inert, Ethos and Logos were not, and would remember Pathos's betrayal - but they were all cast out, flung far apart and across the galaxy, and would not again cross paths with either Pathos or the Thirteen for some time.

With nowhere else to turn, Pathos remained with the Thirteen on their homeworld of Cybertron. He had earned their mercy by turning coat on his creator, but their kindness was less freely given, for they had witnessed the extent of his capabilities and were rightfully afraid of him. He did make overtures to earn their trust, subduing his powers and doing his best to exist unobtrusively, which earned him the trust of those more accepting - such as Quintus Prima-Vectorum, who found him fascinating and wished to study him, to which he consented - but did little in the way of making him feel accepted.

The divide between Pathos and the Thirteen became more prevalent as Prima Primus-Vectorum and Alpha Prima-Vectorum conspired, and at the last agreed that he must be supervised by one of the Thirteen at all times to ensure he would not sow further destruction. He would have protested this, for he possessed no inclination towards destruction and in truth never did - but he had caused mass death and ruin not long ago, knew he was still capable of such acts even alone, and thus accepted their terms. It would have been rude, ungrateful, selfish of him to speak up, he believed.

Slowly, these sorts of thoughts began to multiply, and over time how can I appease them became they will never forgive me became I can never be forgiven. Pathos offered himself as a menial laborer, a sounding board, a test subject, anything that was asked of him, because he believed acting in service of the creations of Primus was all he could do. He would never be worthy of their kindness, because whenever they looked at him their reaction was fear - he could sense it every time, and were they so wrong? He was made to be a monster, a weapon of chaos, and that's what they saw. That's what they thought of him. That's what he is.

The only exception to this reaction-standard was Quintus, who regarded Pathos predominantly with fascination and intrigue - a far cry from the usual fear and/or revulsion, which was strange but still welcomed. These were much easier emotions to be around, ones that made him feel safer and more appreciated if only marginally, and unknowingly Pathos found himself more and more attached to Quintus. Over time, favor turned to fondness, and had Pathos doing everything in his power to make Quintus's field brighten with their seemingly natural curiosity.

That curiosity gave way to ambition - though Pathos thought this natural, as it paired Quintus's excitement and ideas with action, and because of this he indeed enabled their ambition. Pathos, blinded as he was by his affection, even allowed his plating to be prized apart and opened, so long as it was Quintus's servos that rummaged through his insides and handled any samples. He didn't know Dark Energon was poison to any of the Thirteen; he had no idea what was happening to the mech he cared for until it was too late to undo the damage he'd done, the damage he'd allowed to happen to the person he cared for most.

Unbeknownst to Pathos, his siblings were orchestrating the downfall of the Thirteen still, even in Unicron's absence. Ethos and Logos worked in tandem to bring about Megatronus Prima-Vectorum's downfall - not Quintus's, they needed an isolated incident, some proof that even being on the same planet as Pathos had dire consequences - which led to Solus Prima-Vectorum's death. Pathos had hoped to not witness more death for as long as he could manage, and mourned her as the other Thirteen - Twelve - did, despite the chaos that followed.

Blame was cast by many of the others upon Megatronus, exiled as the Fallen, for wielding the Requiem Blaster knowingly against a fellow incarnate of Primus's will which resulted in her death; upon Liege Prima-Vectorum, who fled Cybertron to avoid persecution, framed for guiding Megatronus's hand (because he was always a shady character, Prima believed, and all the evidence Ethos and Logos had carefully led out would reasonably satisfy his hunch); and upon Pathos, for being the corruptive force that compromised the sanctity of the Thirteen. He was to be exiled as well - for those among the Thirteen who had seen Pathos's kindness and empathy overruled Prima's call for execution, with the stipulation that Pathos would be executed if he ever dared set foot on Cybertron thereafter.

Records would be kept that ensured Pathos was not and would never be welcome in the realm of Primus again.

Dejected and devastated (though ultimately unsurprised), Pathos made to leave, but Quintus demanded to go with him. They had a plan to create a brand new species on a planet far from Cybertron, one in which Quintus could perform experiments without deferring to the demands of Prima’s elite, all with Pathos at their side. It seemed very appealing - a world where he would be openly welcomed, could put his past behind him, and would live with the mech he loved for as long as they both lived? It was nearly something out of a dream, a foolish hope he had long buried, and after ensuring that Quintus would not prefer to remain behind, that they were not doing this at the expense of their own happiness on Cybertron, he acquiesced with enthusiasm.

Together, they embarked on a voyage far beyond Cybertron's solar system and settled on an uninhabited planet. Pathos built great structures and gathered materials, while Quintus experimented, constructed bodies, and created what would become the Quintessons. For many ages, this new planet was their sanctuary, and this new species provided guardians and confidantes in equal measure; a burgeoning trade empire began to form, and soon began to expand into nearby star systems. For a time, Pathos and Quintus lived blissfully together, away from Cybertron and the turmoil which soon engulfed it.

These were perhaps the only good memories Pathos would ever have.

[tachyon-omlette]

can't sleep. posting updated Eda physiology diagram

more in-depth descriptions under the cut (feat. a rethinking of how dark energon/angolmois exists)

I use the term "cell-spawned" as a reference to how Armada Sideways was "grown from Unicron's own cells", implying there may be a difference between Unicronians that were once Cybertronians (ex. Galvatron) & those that were fully created by Unicron, like Sideways. or Eda.

cell-spawned Unicronians have 2 sets of major systems: molten metal & angolmois (dark energon)

the molten metal system is a vascular system equivalent, but a little different. ingested metals r smelted down until they're more liquid than solid (& as a consequence a Unicronian's internal temperature is extremely high), then passed through a network of arteries that deposit new metal around the antispark chamber & beneath external plating. this allows the antispark chamber to be reinforced even as its cargo slowly strips away the inner layer, & allows external weathering/surface-level injuries to be sheared off in favor of allowing new metal to grow underneath (which means neither Eda nor any cell-spawned Unicronian bears scars save for what they willfully upkeep). the metal is also infused with heat-resistant nanites once it enters the "bloodstream"; these nanites are what implant proximity sensors on exterior-facing plating & direct the flow of new metals to any pierced-armor injuries (the result of which leaves a scar that appears like a large weld, which can be sanded down or otherwise weathers away on its own). surface-level pierced-armor injuries are usually somewhat painless in the injured area, but release trapped heat & reduce mobility until that heat can be restored.

the dark energon aka angolmois system is, however, very different - where most things have interpreted angolmois as energon but Scary, in my mind it's more accurately an opposite: less fluid & more viscous like tar, a pitch-black that opalesces with deep purples & glitters like the night sky, and cold like the void of space. angolmois systems are more heavily-guarded than a Cybertronian's energon system; it is circulated usually where it is needed to cancel out or counterbalance the excessive heat generated by the molten metal systems (ex. the cpu/brain module & other finely-tuned systems), thus preventing a Unicronian from simply melting themselves down on accident. it also runs through major support structures like bone marrow, emitting a natural cooling that makes excessive heat integral to the use of limbs and digits, lest they grow frost - the rupture of an angolmois line is, thereby, equivalent in pain to a broken bone, & for a cell-spawned Unicronian who feels barely any or even no pain with more common & superficial scrapes, it is often a crippling injury. angolmois leaks are harder for the molten metal system to repair & often create systemic injuries by virtue of the extreme cold structurally compromising most metal it touches, & the damaged structures often require direct patching in order to aid the molten metal repair systems & prevent a total freeze-down. for cell-spawned Unicronians like Eda, angolmois can be naturally replenished by tapping into the entropy of the universe, whether that be through simply waiting (either lucid or in stasis) or artificially increasing localized entropy (i.e. causing problems & destruction & chaos wherever they are currently); for more severe cases the latter route is often necessary.

angolmois is still the most direct route to corruption, as it freezes & kills whatever it touches & often is difficult to recover from (ex. if some lands on a field of wildflowers, the wildflowers it lands on will die, along with the microorganisms living in that patch of soil. if it is removed, then only that place will have a dead area & over time will naturally repopulate; if it seeps into the ground, the entire field may die & will become hard or even impossible to repopulate a la the Prime Kindergarten from Steven Universe). for Cybertronians, coming in direct contact causes freezing injuries & in severe cases requires amputation. ingestion causes internal damage & generates and/or exacerbates inner turmoil(s).

any questions ?
