mynah friend!
spooky
oops
Behold! The character has has been living in my head rent-free since january/february, but just recently I sat down to draw.
…idk, this is deeply inspired by my own characterization of MYNAH units, where they're the kind of replika that avoid confrontation at all costs, never act/present themselves in a way that could be considered "threatening," even at the cost of their own comfort, and avoid acknowledging negative emotions, leaving it as an "it is what it is" kind of thing. This is combined with the usual eusan replika mindset of having a back-and-white way of thinking, never questioning what's going on in their surroundings, and just doing what they're told to do.
So I think it would be interesting to have this mynah (originally named MNHR-S2307 “Eisen”) stumble upon this pair of gestalts who have also been on Leng. They slowly warm up to her and share their own experiences there that (as well as the typical persona degradation stuff) clash with her own world views, recontextualize her old memories, and slowly erode all her layers of denial. She finally comes to terms with her gestalt identity, how often she got taken advantage of at S-23, and how terrible the Nation can actually be. While discovering the truth takes a big toll on her, she decides to use her newfound freedom and wisdom to build herself a new life under the name of “Sasha” and do her best to bring happiness to the two people who genuinely view her as family.
New stuffed kitty to hug...
goes best with this song

I intended to have this finished waaay earlier, but I got busy and deadset on maing it a series of three drawings, but here we are! They were fun to draw ✨✨
Just a bunch of replikas taking a nap between shifts ✨
I started this a while ago, and in all honestly I don't know if when I'll finish this (too... many... characters...), so please acept the sketch in the meanwhile 😅
Hcs for Signalis? Oh, and thoughts too, maybe if you don't particularly have any hcs.
I see thoughts are being had about Falke but honestly y.yeah.
Oh, please do take this as an opportunity to gush about whatever, scenarios, anything
I got you boo~
KLBR 😈
-Call any of them short and they *will* gang up on you
-huge sweet tooth
-gremlin energy (pranksters)
-occasionally "accidentally" broadcast their thoughts to any replika around them, has gotten many of them in trouble with ADLR and FLKR
-dislike most STCR units for their height advantage and the bullying
ADLR 🖊
-if a FLKR body pillow existed in universe, he would own at least one
-the only straight one (ew-)
-wet cat energy
-always tired
-gets FLKR way too much coffee even if he thinks it's overkill
-cannot physically tell FLKR no (simp)
ARAR 🔧
-love to eavesdrop, especially in the STAR/STCR dorms
-chatty and love to gossip
-one ARAR overheard ADLR swear and now the entire facility knows except for him
-loves poping down from the ceiling to scare other replika units
-ARAR dorm is more like a greenhouse than a dorm due to their live for plants
EULR 🎶
-BALLET DANCERS?! YES PLZ!! (Also musicians)
-theater kids
-sweet yet occasionally catty if angered
-also kinda ditzy? Depends on the day and specific unit
-love to hit on other units, especially STAR units while they're on duty
-holds facility wide dance parties (with permission, ADLR was pissed with their first attempt)
-literally perfect hair, always smooth and silky
STAR 🌟
-stoic and sometimes irritable but not STCR levels of pissy
-strategy nerds, love reading pre war military strategy books
-STARs always protect each other, no matter the situation
-protective of the weaker units, especially EULR and KLBR units (big sister vibes)
-lowkey hate/don't get along with STCR units
STCR 🔫
-perma grumpy, DO NOT PISS OFF THEY *WILL* BEAT YOU HALF TO DEATH
-dislike ADLR but are forced to follow his orders
-not good with jokes/pranks
-gun nuts
-also military strategy nerds, but they prefer post war
-smell oddly nice?? Mostly lavender or other flowery scents from their body wash
-like to bully KLBR units
LSTR 🌙
-fairly quiet, calm personality, moon
-great listener, even better with keeping secrets
-smooth voice, one could listen to an LSTR read the dictionary and they'd fall asleep rather quickly
-good with tools and small mechanical projects
-loner type, longing for friends
-socially awkward
-will warm up after at least a few weeks of interaction
MNHR 🧸
-golden retriever Gundam
-gentle giants
-8ft tall children with plasma rifles (they don't like hurting things)
-love *anything* soft; stuffed animals, pillows, blankets, you can bet your sweet ass they'll love it
-can't actually read (some have at least a 2nd grade level, but it's not the norm)
-also can't write well due to their hands being so large
-sometimes forget their own strength
-love giving KLBR units rides on their shoulders
-would dive into a bottomless pit to save a puppy
-armor has so many scratches and typically covered in dirt/dust
-they're all sisters, change my mind
FLKR ☕️
-coffee queen, overachiever, overthinker
-Insecure but hides it *extremely* well
-can "link up" with and KLBR unit through bioresonance from anywhere in the facility
-usually the one to call a KLBR out when they broadcast their less desirable thoughts
-can also see directly in their minds, it's not always pretty...
-has caught ADLR doing "odd" things with her items on several occasions
-has seen things only demons could conjure (corrupt units are hell to look into the mind of)
-prolonged use of bioresonance causes stress to the mind of a FLKR unit, but all FLKR units are trained to conceal such pain from all other units and officers to "maintain order"
Thinking about how Mynah's Gestalt pattern might have looked.
This is Polaris (MNHR-S2304), she is an illiterate mynah with dreams of becoming a space craft technician. Unfortunately she has been deemed to stupid to only be able to work in the mines but that's not stopping her!
Deep Rock Galactic x Signalis crossover
DRG corp. buys a ton of Replikas from AEON corp. Specifically the Minenarbeit-,Nukleartechnik-,Hochsicherheits-Replikas, acronym MNHR, or informally called Mynahs.
The MNHRs are given separate living sections of the Space Rig orbiting Hoxxes IV but the dwarves start fraternizing with them. This seems fine until DRG Management notices a slight uptick in casualties during missions. They look into this and discover that the Miners will not let ANYONE be left behind and they are sacrificing themselves to help the Replikas survive.
Attempts to discourage this behavior fail and result in a general strike. Management changes their tact and decides to try a more costlier alternative: They give the miners the tools to repair and assist their MNHR units during operations. This please the Mining Union and they end the strike. It also results in a boost to morale and a decrease in operational costs as DRG doesn't have to buy new replacement units from AEON.
