🕑 Added 2025-07-26 11:58:35 +0000 UTCJuly’s runner-up and a chance for me to expand upon the rework of Wassermelone aka Vaas the warden and her signature Venus Flytrap/P2E sleepsack. (Re-uploaded some references which need another draft or three.)
Last fall I was playing around with the idea of a Symbiote Warden for more organic themed scenarios. Initially she was named Lemon but I had a hard time nailing her color scheme and characterization. I wound up reworking her a few months ago with this iteration of the sleepsack debuting in the Storm exclusive.
The sleepsack breaks apart from her and as the damsel is free to hop and inch around, it will always find its way back to Vaas. Further, the P2E can eject its host leaving them encased but the rubber/latex case is independent of Vaas, much like a spider’s web. This casing either dissolves the damsel’s clothing or ejects it (I haven’t decided yet, it seems like a waste to destroy the clothes), slicks their hair back entirely to produce a uniformed silhouette if fully sealed. When freshly released, the host would look like they just got out of the shower.
Vaas speaks mainly in German and her text will always be in parentheses, so just imagine you’re reading subtitles 😆 Her personality is based off of The Groom (Outlast) mixed with Hannibal Lecter, in a toxic, love-bombing result. The “Bouquet” she mentions can be found in her garden quarters of the Facility and is a writhing mass of encased residents arranged in a pillar formation resembling its namesake. This is an idea/scene I really want to portray down the line, as I have too much on my backlog at the moment.
Jam understands Vaas because she’s all powerful, BB understands her because she can read the minds of those around her, but Cherry is unable to leading to friction between the two. The overly nice facade Vaas portrays quickly crumbles around the brash Cherry.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the lore dump. I’ll have the poll up along with a preview of Eve either later today (7/26/25) or early tomorrow if I get sidelined with RL stuff.
