TyrannoMax

Real name: Tyrannodus Maximus (translation) Known Aliases: Ty Maxon, the Dinoman of Wisconsin, Shellbreaker Occupation: Champion of Core City, adventurer Identity: Public Legal status: Citizen of Core City. Legal resident of the United States with a criminal record (pardoned), escaped felon in Ultramerica. Species: Dinoid Tyrannosaurus Rex Place of Hatching: Core City Martial Status: Single, betrothed. Known Relatives: TyrannoLucian (father), MegaloDiana (mother), TyrannoMaxine (grandmother, deceased), TyrannoCass (brother), TyrannoJulia (sister), Lady StegoJune (fiance), DeinoSteve (blood brother), Tyler Wrex (second cousin). Known affiliations: Warriors of the Core (member, current), Sevenfold Guardians (member, reserve), Wally Manmoth (ally), Johannes Factotum (ally), WoMinotaur (ally), Dr. Underfang (nemesis), Department of Inhuman Affairs (contractor). Base of operations: Soapstone, Wisconsin, Core City in the Fossilized World. First appearance: Tyrannomax #1 (1975)

From the Coctus Catalog, it's TyrannoMax!

His power/ability box is under the fold.

Physical Strength: TyrannoMax’s strength is exceptional, even for a dinoid. He can lift (press) 10 tons with his arms or tail. Known Powers & Abilities: Like all diniods, TryannoMax’s muscles and bone tissues are more dense and durable than human analogues, resulting in vast strength and resistance to physical damage. His scales can deflect an armor-piercing .50 caliber machine gun fire at 30 feet. TyrannoMax’s bite force is sufficient to bend a 5” diameter titanium rod. His teeth and claws are both sharp and strong enough to rend metal, and he’s able to leap up to sixty feet forward or twenty feet straight up from a standing position. Like all dinoids, TyrannoMax possesses a high degree of psychic affinity, which he can access through his psychic roar. This unique psychic talent allows TyrannoMax to imbue his roars with psionic power. He can attune the pitch of his roar to deliver physical psychokinetic force, stun the minds of those in its path, or induce fear and panic in enemies. Known Weaknesses: Dinoid physiology is only partially warmblooded and is vulnerable to cold. Temperatures below 56 degrees Fahrenheiht reduce TyrannoMax’s speed, strength and concentration in direct proportion to his body temperature. If lowered to the freezing point gradually, he will involuntarily enter a state of hibernation. Rapid freezing is deadly to dinoids.

TyrannoMax's art was made in the same fashion as the Wally Manmoth comic, with his body being composited out of several Midjourney attempts and his head coming from Dall-E 3, since MJ's rexes are always too modern for the 70s throwback of Tmax.

From there the colors were removed entirely, and the new lineart touched up and then re-colored using the classic comic colors from the DC 1981 style guide. And then "vintaged" in the process.

Children of The Rivers of The Underworld:

All:

- one of their children’s powers, like many children of the underworld, is manipulating darkness and shadows. such as shadow traveling or making them tangible.

- they are usually less likely to attract monsters and other beings that can sense demigods because of this sense of danger that they put off. not only do they have more ‘dark’ powers, their godly parent is also a more dangerous and cruel being to mess with than an olympian god or goddess.

- they don’t usually make it to camp half blood because of this and they are more likely to live in the mortal world unbothered or staying with their godly parent in the godly society within the underworld.

(i had some trouble thinking of things for some of the rivers so if yall have any ideas, feel free to comment them)

Styx:

- the children of Lady Styx are naturally stoic and no nonsense. they prefer honesty and genuinity within their relationships

- on that note, they are some of the most trustworthy friends you will ever have because they always keep their word.

- they can hold a grudge like no other. they will never forget the wrongs you’ve done to them or others

- be careful when making promises with these people because sometimes, they can actually hold you to your word no matter what you do to get out of it.

- they can also tell when someone is lying or making false promises. you can’t get away with anything with these guys.

- they remember everything. from big life changing moments to that time you tripped getting out of your car 3 years ago.

- they can easily bath in the styx itself without pain but it does not effect them the same way it would other beings. it doesn’t make them invincible against outside attacks permanently it it can make them very hard to harm for a short amount of time.

- they can do this to themselves without the styx but it only lasts minutes at most. very good for moments when you need to avoid getting hurt at just the right moment.

Cocytus:

- the children of Lord (?) Cocytus may be some of the most dangerous when pushed to use their full powers.

- yes, pain and misery can be next to impossible to deal with, but when you feel grief, this all encompassing grief, it can make you give up. and that’s when you know it’s over.

- these children can make you feel grief for things you know you would never do or see. people you haven’t even lost. opportunities you never had. it will take over your every thought and drive you to nothing.

- coincidentally, they are really good at hiding their own grief and feelings when necessary. they are also, really good at

- they also have control over cold and ice. some say that this river was like a cold river of ice and their children have expressed that in their powers.

Phlegethon:

- the children of Lord Phlegethon are some of the most unpredictable when it comes to personality and morals.

- as the river burns out impurities from the body, these people tend to want to ‘burn’ impurities, or injustices, within the world around them. now there is no set list of what is considered unjust because everyone has their own moral codes so these children could become the world’s greatest hero or its most greatest villain.

- they have control over fire and it tends to move like water.

- now it can act like normal fire. burning things, cooking, heating, etc. or it can be used to heal. just like the river does. it is painful but it works almost as good as having the actual water from the river there.

- they can bring you physical pain with the blink of an eye. it starts with initial eye contact but afterwards they just need to keep you within a certain distance.

- they can make mental pain happen as well. think of a time when it was like your heart hurt from being so sad and depressed about an event or interaction and then times that by 100. it will make you wish for death.

Acheron:

- The children of Lord Acheron have great control over negative feelings. as the river of misery, they can bring forth these horrible feelings in others.

- they themselves tend to have neutral, somber personalities. while they themselves might not feel misery, they know exactly how it feels and how it makes others feel

- they can ruin your mental state so quickly. looking into their eyes as they activate their powers is a sure way to become so depressed and distressed that you see no reason to live anymore.

- these children tend to have some control over winds and air currents. (the river was known as the ‘windy river’)

- they can also put off an aura that makes those in its range feel horrible. it can be both physical and mental.

Lethe:

- The children of Lady Lethe actually have very good memories. it’s just sometimes that information escapes them or they can be oblivious sometimes.

- they can cause forgetfulness in others, usually for short periods of time. it takes a lot of personal energy to make it permanent

- they can make people forget certain things instead of their entire memory. so if they did something stupid infront of you, it’s gone in seconds.

- they’re the type of people that will remind you of things (names, events, appointments) you keep forgetting even when you don’t remember telling them about certain things.

- the lethe does not work on them at all. for it to work they would need to be submerged and consume the waters. even their mother does not know why

- lethe children tend to have dreams of the past often. as the lethe is where the dead drink to forget their pasts, sometimes those memories appear in the dreams of her children.

- children of Lady Lethe can also alter memories. it can be challenging but they could potentially alter what you remember of past events and interaction.

a detail that i noticed really quite late on but immediately loved was that all of the sake bottle labels had a little blurb on one side that was different to the blurb on the white cypress menu, one of which you can see on the official merch postcard below. today i am emotionally hanging out in the white cypress with no hope of leaving, so am going to type up my records of all the labels

I. STYX. A timeless classic. This opulent vintage is fast flowing and robust. Full bodied and roaring in both taste and length.

II. LETHE. With a flavour profile so complex and shadowed that it cleanses both palate and mind.

III. ACHERON. A majestic yet soft drink synonymous with delicacy. Allow for these gossamer drops to trickle lightly into your mouth for a fresh finish. A clear and elegant stream. This drink is best served chilled. A perfect primer for that more fervent.

IIII. PHLEGETHON. A wonderfully complex bouquet. Feel the warmth move down your throat like wildfire with every sip. This ochre, misty drink contains notes of poplar wood and venom.

IIIII. COCYTUS. A distinct cry of flavour. Hints of minerals and scorched earth drench your tastebuds leaving you screaming out for more.....

Cocytus: Aura said that instead of being sad about having to kill the lizardmen leaders, I should “go get it, girl”

Demiurge: Go get what?

Cocytus: Unclear. I’ll go get everything, just to be safe

The EDZ saw paracausal conflict long before the Collapse

So you're telling me that a mere 14 years before the birth of Jakob Bohme, directly referenced in Unveiling,

One of your philosophers said, "It is not to be thought that the life of darkness is sunk in misery and lost in sorrow. There is no sorrow. For sorrow is a thing that is swallowed up in death, and death and dying are the very life of the darkness." He was a shoemaker. He was right, and it matters more than anything. According to him, the visible world is a manifestation of eternal light and eternal darkness, and it is in eternal opposition that eternity has revealed itself. The fall was necessary for creation to escape its first imperfect stasis and seek a truer form. Heresy? Well, then, I am the heresiarch. The philosopher died of a bowel disease. Those who do not exist cannot suffer and are of no account to any viable ethics. If the true path to goodness is the elimination of suffering, then only those who must exist can be allowed to exist. It is the nature of life to favor existence over nonexistence, and to prefer the fertile soil to the poisoned wind. Because those who open their mouths to that wind pass from the world and leave no descendant, whether of flesh or of thought. But imagine the abomination of a world where nothing can end and no choice can be preferred to any other. Imagine the things that would suffer and never die. Imagine the lies that would flourish without context or corrective. Imagine a world without me.

who said he saw the divine shape of the universe in a ray of light reflected in a pewter dish in 1600 and kept it to himself for years,

there were unexplained celestial phenomena in the skies of Germany described like this

In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women. At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes. These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his help, Amen. By Hanns Glaser, letter-painter of Nurnberg.

Different words in German can be seen on signs in the area, such as "Ausgang" (exit) and "Salzwerk" (salt mines). Since Austria, Germany, and Switzerland all have German as their official language, it is currently unknown which country the EDZ is supposed to be located in.

In German, Trostland may translate to "solace country"

O my Bridegroom, how well am I, now that I am in Union with thee! O kiss me with thy Desire in thy Strength and Power, and then I will shew thee all my Beauty, and will rejoice and solace Myself with thy sweet Love and shining Brightness in thy fiery Life. All the holy Angels rejoice with us, to see us united again. My dear Love, I now entreat thee to abide in my Faith, and do not turn thy Face away from me any more. Work thou thy Wonders in my Love, for which Purpose God hath created thee and brought thee into Being.

Jakob Bohme on the Love of Sophia (Wisdom)

The Descent of Ishtar, the Fall of Sophia, and the Jewish Roots of Gnosticism

Who am I? Call me Coyote. Call me mantis, serpent, Cagn, Anansi, call me Sri-cleans-his-brother's-stomach. Call me the grandmaster of semiosis, the jeweler's hammer which gilds the signal, a purposeful mob none of whose members know its purpose, the infinite regress of enigmas, a self-questioning answer, the word not spoken, black ice, cataract of mimes, the ache and fever of overthought while bedridden with illness, the intolerable thorn of frustrated inquisition, gray regret at the end of a fruitless day, the thing which is unlike your beloved but arbitrarily recalls your beloved to agonizing effect, architrave of the no-window, needle driven in flush with skin so that desperate fingers cannot pull it out, sweet petal, unmemorable, crystal death, the provably improvable.

Thank You

Your shoemaker philosopher was right, and it matters more than anything. Sorrow cannot survive death, and it cannot precede birth. Those who exist have moral worth, and those who do not have none. Think about it. Do you mourn the uncreated? Do you grieve for those who were never born in a nation that never developed around an ideology no one ever imagined on a continent that never formed? No! And from that self-evident truth, you must raise your eyes to the ultimate revelation: those who cannot sustain their own claim to existence belong to the same moral category as those who have never existed at all. Existence is the first and truest proof of the right to exist. Those who cannot claim and hold existence do not deserve it. This is the true and only divination, a game whose losers are not just forgotten but are never born at all. That which cannot claim and hold existence is not real. You do not mourn the unreal. Why should you care for it? Tend it? Guard it? It was the gardener that chose you from the dead. I wouldn't have done that. It's just not in me. But now that they have invested themself in you, you are incredibly, uniquely special. That wandering refugee chose to make a stand, spend their power to say: "Here I prove myself right. Here I wager that, given power over physics and the trust of absolute freedom, people will choose to build and protect a gentle kingdom ringed in spears. And not fall to temptation. And not surrender to division. And never yield to the cynicism that says, everyone else is so good that I can afford to be a little evil." The gardener is all in. They are playing for keeps. And they are wrong. Or so I argue: for, after all, the universe is undecidable. There is no destiny. We're all making this up as we go along. Neither the gardener nor I know for certain that we're eternally, universally right. But we can be nothing except what we are. You have a choice. You are the gardener's final argument. It would mean everything if I could convince you that I am the right and only way. I truly value you. To the gardener, you are a means to an end. To me, you are majestic. Majestic. You are full of the only thing worth anything at all. I am, by the only standard that matters or will ever matter, the winning team. Existence is a test that most will fail. Would you not count yourself among the victorious few? Don't hurry to deliver your answer. I'll come over and hear it myself.

Unveiling: The Wager

SENSITIVE!! – CONTENTS BELOW SNIFFED FROM ENCRYPTED REEF DATACOMS – SENSITIVE!!

1. We are maintaining our containment posture at Cocytus. I assess no immediate danger to the system, and we have enough firepower to destroy the station and its mechanisms remotely if the on-site warheads fail. The station remains in the stable heliocentric orbit where it was parked after the destruction of Ceres.

2. I do not ask confirmation of these theories, and in fact I beg you not to address them. But I have reviewed the site records, and the fate of the Sophia's crew after they were herded to Cocytus stinks of Hive madness. The Cocytus apertures must—at the time—have opened into a Hive manifold associated with Crota. Whatever their original purpose, when Crota established his presence in the system, they became conduits into hell... and the Sophia crew's ugly end proved it. Whoever drove the Sophia to its doom then installed the Cocytus Instruments around the original Golden Age facility to study Crota's manifold.

3. Crota is dead. His hold on these gates has passed. Now something else is trying to pass through into our world... but it is so alien, and its sendings so bafflingly malformed, that I fear this can only end in madness.

4. The first "visitors" through the third gate, at event time 00:00:00, were simple hydrogen atoms. Over the course of 72 hours, the emissions developed from diatomic hydrogen to nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, water, and simple organic molecules. At the 80-hour mark, we received our first macroscopic visitor, a pellet of thick black hydrocarbon tar. Until 82:34:15 the gate vomited tar containing increasingly complex monomers and polymers.

5. The visitors then began to assume geometric form. A hail of cubes and hexagons, each built from molecular crystal of the same form as the whole. A series of fractal shapes that shattered under internal flaws. Several capsules or membranes of increasingly complex structure, containing water or oil. These may have been cellular precursors.

6. At 524:03:11 a living organism appeared. Death was immediate. Remote dissection describes a spherical body, radius approximately one meter, surfaced in thick hydrocarbon tar. Deep, evenly spaced "throats" converged on a central cavity perhaps intended to serve as lung and stomach. The body exhibited undifferentiated tissue of primitive plantlike cells, capable of spasming to pump air or fluid in and out of the throats. Without enzymes to catalyze metabolism, or internal structure to dispose of waste, the organism could not survive. Cell death occurred almost instantaneously throughout the mass. There were no provisions for self-repair or reproduction.

7. At 690:29:54 the gate emitted a tubular organism. For ninety seconds the organism moved across the gate chamber by contracting and expanding, then expired. Remote dissection describes a two-meter-long body with a spinal cavity full of energy-rich carbohydrate fluid. The organism's contractions forced this fluid through a capillary network, where simple cells catabolized the carbohydrates into energy to power further contractions. The buildup of heat and waste quickly denatured the enzymes required for metabolism, and the organism died. There were no provisions for self-repair or reproduction.

8. The gate has remained inactive since, barring short emissions of molecules which may be experimental proteins. Remote drones have registered similar ambient molecules within the Hellmouth on Luna, though we have been unable to identify their source. We will maintain the quarantine until otherwise instructed.

The overwhelming impression I have is one of learning, of increasing sophistication in the synthesis and arrangement of matter. The atoms in these structures were isotopically pure and impossible to date, but I have the uncomfortable sense that even they were freshly made.

9. Probes and instruments dispatched through the third gate do not return. Annihilation is apparently immediate, and so total that it seems to result from a fundamental failure of the ability to exist rather than any weapon or countermeasure. Yet something does exist on the far side, and it is trying to learn the rules of our world from very first principles. I do not eagerly anticipate its next creation.
