Chosen Vehicle -

Most land vehicles were smaller, and used to manage the territory claimed by a settlement.

Chosen Air Vehicle -

Whenever possible, Chosen built small settlements of 7-21 families, in ranch or plantation style arrangements, with 10-20km between them and the next settlement. Most transportation was by air.

Wadi -

More than any of the other occupying paracologies, The Chosen were colonizers - they travelled with their families, and with children, and planned to live in the paracologies they conquered.

Wide shot, exterior, day -

A 5 story settlement tower nestled in a wadi. Three children, varying in ages from 5-13, all of different castes, stand on the metal platform at the base of the tower,

Chosen Herald Archon -

To the Chosen, archons were the pinnacle of the moral, social and physical purity that came from exemplifying each of the seven castes.

Picked up the MakeHuman add-on for Blender (MPFB) - It's not as powerful as Human Generator, but it *does* let you make children.

Breaking Ground

The Chosen were the remnants of a paracology destroyed by the Host, and as such, they had one, overriding directive as a culture -

Expand to the point where they can never lose their home again. The Chosen found new Settlements like the Host made deals for souls.

Two Chosen, a Scholar and a Sharer, discuss where to place the marker for a new Settlement on a dry, desert hillside.

Household Shrine -

Every Chosen home had some sort of heptagonal shrine space laid out, where morning and evening prayers and reflection could take place in the seven lights of harmony.

Close up shot, interior -

A heptagonal room of black and white marble, with a spiral staircase in the center leading up. On each wall is an alcove containing a crystal lit by one of the seven caste colours. A man of the Scholar caste stands in front of the alcove containing a crystal bathed from above in a yellow light. Other people are also standing at other walls, praying while looking at crystals.

I'm definitely interested in playing with this intersection of "cyber" and "old timey".

Blender screencap -

A Chosen of the Mediator caste, as shown by her blue belt. Both men and women tend to wear long, loose-fitting tunics and shirts, with the women's usually a bit longer, to the point of being a dress.

Chosen Wall
Although they accepted servants and workers inside, only Chosen could live within the walls of a Settlement. Beyond those walls, no official local government was permitted, but there was also no support from the Chosen.

An archon of the Judge caste stands outside the wall of a Chosen Settlement. They are wearing a sleeveless red dress, and a red cloth band covers where their eyes would be.

A camel grazes beside a road in the ruins of a neighbourhood in Salalah, Oman. Behind it, the road is abruptly cut by a 9m tall wall marking the edge of a Chosen Settlement. Behind the wall, a giant crystal rises up into the sky.

Chosen Settlement

The Chosen began the Occupation in Oman, and quickly spread to control the entire Arabian Peninsula. They wanted wide swaths of land for their settlements, and their hatred of the Host drew them near India.

Wide shot, exterior, day -

A Chosen settlement in Oman, 3 stories high and built as a seven-sided structure with an inner courtyard. From each corner rose a small tower with a seven-sided crystal on top pointing upwards.

Archon of the Chosen Warrior caste.

Blender screencap -

A near 2m tall archon, refined and distilled by the soultech of the Chosen so that he no longer needs to eat, or in fact even has a mouth. His eyes are also gone, but, like all Chosen, he keeps his eye area hidden, and covers where his sockets used to be with a cloth that wraps around his head.

He's wearing a tabard of orange, which indicates his association with the Warrior caste.

When I'm sculpting these mutants, I'm trying to always retain their 'humanity'...I have little interest in making Warhammer caricatures for comedy or slaughter.

A mutant woman, with a somewhat bird-like head and hands with fingers that have been fused together. She's wearing a simple, dirty dress.

Abandoned Village

It was nothing special, just a small village in Rajasthan at the intersection of two dirt roads...and the Corruption had followed those roads and overrun the small community.

Canyon

When viewed from above, Corruption was a stark topological graph of the correlation between the growth of human society and the cost of that growth.
