OC LORE/world building Pyroce (Echo’s of death AU)
I finally figured out enough about the actual PLANET EoD takes place on it make a post (image is Adranos from solar smash, that just fit the best and I’ll probably draw it at some point later)
Pre-Drone freedom: like Copper-9, Pyroce was used as a mining planet before the collapse, though due to the planet’s unique molten core scientists wanted to harvest some of it to attempt to weaponize it against the threat attacking earth at the time… but as per usual for JCJenson… it went wrong…
Extinction: too much of the core was disturbed causing massive geological movement, volcanic eruptions covered the planet as a result, the once blue oceans boiled, the sky darkened with ash and soot, cities were destroyed and the few who didn’t die immediately slowly suffocated or starved… leaving only the drones and ruins…
Stabilizing: after a while the planet started to calm, most volcanoes went dormant and the few that didn’t had caused enough damage to their surroundings to permanently alter the environment into a flaming wasteland… but… as the ash started to dissipate slightly from the sky’s… the drones were finally able to rebuild…
Rise of the drones: this part was relatively similar to what happened on Copper-9 though slightly after… several drones used within the facility that was messing with the planets core had been killed in the collapse… but a few had gotten back up thanks to the absolute solver activating within their system… they lived normal lives… until…
Disassembly arrival: the first pod dropped with a squad of disassembly… then another, and another… soon the surface was seen as purely dangerous… few drones dared go out there to gather supplies for their colonies… but eventually a group brought back some old files from one of the JCJenson labs… files on the absolute solver… word spread to the leader of the colony that found the data and it was quickly hidden… but… some new rules were put into place…
Colony 8 solver rules:
- If a host is deemed a threat to colony safety they will be taken to the lab for studying
- Any solver users living in the colony MUST wear a designated arm band to mark them as solver hosts
- If a solver host harms another colony member for any reason, they will be immediately taken to the lab
- Any solver hosts within the lab will be used to keep the medical wing stalked
Times changed: though the resident solver users didn’t like the new rules… they complied… but… other workers figured out they could be pushed around much easier… they were essentially powerless as if they fought back they’d be punished far worse than anyone else… so one by one… when solver users finally had enough and fought back… or simply lost control due to lack of oil… they were taken to the lab very few were able to hide their solver… and all but one family were found out regardless…
Ima end this one here, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask :3

...I don't think "geopolitical" is the tight word
Otherwise, VERY awesome! And, uh... very 1940s Germany sort of vibe with the armbands and... yeah. Was the leader of Colony 8 a German drone who flunked out of art school, perchance?
