Making a pin post why not(THIS IS NOT A MATURE CONTENT I DON’T KNOW WHY TUMBLR THINKS IT IS)

Hello! I see you’re stopping by my place, welcome!

This is a blog made by Xialite(me) dedicated to my own works about personification of many sorts, mainly countries and non-country landmasses, organisations, and I guess governmental bodies as well lol

A little summary of my personification AU

  • Its official name is MNUN(My Neighbour United Nations(yes, sounds a little corny I know, this AU was originally made with UN as the central focus)).
  • This is a personal project, it is not that serious and I’m merely doing this as a hobby.
  • Personifications are called “Representatives”(Repts for short); they are divided into two main categories:
  1. Territorial Representatives(T-Repts), used to refer to countries and all non-country landmasses(ex. provinces, counties, states, etc).
  2. Non-Territorial Representatives(NT-Repts), used to refer to organisations, corporations, companies, and other bodies that are not considered “territorial”.
  • T-Repts are made by “Nature”(not a deity nor extraterrestrial entity, but an omnipresent body circulating around Earth, ‘It’ has the ability to manifest entities to represent a certain territory), they’re semi immortal and can only be killed by their own kind.
T-Repts also have their own document describing all about how they work!
  • NT-Repts on the other hand, are created artificially, with the help of science and life magic, and also a bit of blood willingly given by T-Repts to inherit their semi-immortality. It is still unknown how Nature would feel about their existence.
  • This AU doesn’t just have personifications, it’s a complete world building project as a whole, as there are presence of magic system, mythical creatures, and generally just wonky stuffs.
  • There are aliens!! Big feathery aliens!!! They’re called Stellars, They’re looming around the cosmos but don’t seem to cause *direct* harm to Earth just yet, They have been recorded to broken camera lens and orbiting telescopes though. Folks on Earth have such an over exaggerated fear of those creatures.
  • Each of the Representatives have their own backstories, many are linked to one another, and certain NT-Repts have their own “family” that they belong to.

Common factors of my designs

Territorial Representatives

  • Most obvious factor is that they look just like normal humans, but plus the fact that they have some features inherited from other animals(usually based on national animals), the said other animals must have the following criteria:
  1. Must be native to the respective regions
  2. Must not be a domesticated animal
  • The extent of their animal features starts from a bit on their faces, arms, and back, and go full all the way down once it gets to their legs, so to speak, their legs are fully that of their respective animals
  • Another factor is that they have plants/flowers growing out of their body, those plants have to be native to the respective regions as well. And also, those plants grow roots into their body, and it’s not the most painless thing.
  • Nails!! Their nail colours usually follow the colour of their flags or colours not on their flags but are commonly associated with the regions themselves.

Non-Territorial Representatives

  • Overall they have less prominent animal features, or they may not have any animal traits at all.
  • Their anatomy is, ironically, stranger than Territorial Representatives, they may have additional factors added onto their body, some may not even be biologically possible at all.
  • Body marks! Those are a signature thing of this type of Representatives. Sure, T-Repts do have a bit of body marks, too, but NT-Repts have taken it to the next level. Those marks typically represent their preferences, aesthetics, and their purposes, some may come in gradients on parts of their body, some may look like tattoos. Oh and they’re also animated.
  • Certain NT-Repts have shared traits that show which “family” they belong to, for example, NT-Repts that are UN organisations typically has black tattoo-like body marks(unless the Representative is dark-skinned, then it’s white), have halos, and most importantly, all wearing SDGs bracelets.
  • NT-Repts also have fancy-coloured nails, but the colours are usually based purely on the aesthetic of those folks.

Both types of Representatives

  • Modified internal organs systems, they do not have proper digestive or respiratory systems, and they do not have reproductive systems at all.
  • Their eyes can glow!! So can their body marks(sometimes)

Yes, yes, folks, that is all about my blogs of now, I hope you’ll enjoy current and future contents that will be put out.

Btw you guys can shoot me a question about specific Representatives, if I do have their designs I can ramble about their headcanons lolol

Dare I mention that I’m more invested in some obscure international science orgs lore rather than countries’ history?? I don’t know man something about seeing dynamic between those science orgs and their ups and downs is certainly something I hold dear to me

IUGG being the oldest among the “first generation” science organisations(with him being born on 1862 while the rest were born on either 1919 or 1922) was like their caretaker, though he wasn’t the best at it, the kids liked him nonetheless, he was oftenly oblivious to the kids’ problems, coupled with the fact that the kids tend to brush their problems off their shoulders to not make him worried….I think he would feel quite guilty of it once he realised

hi random icrc thought of the day shes actually kind of terrible at public speaking. shes made for one on one talk not speeches. when she negotiates she pays really really close attention to the other persons body language and tone of voice and adjusts her arguments accordingly and if put in front of a crowd she Will try to do that to everybody in said crowd and she will a) fail b) become overwhelmed. she is absolutely incapable of improv she needs to be reading off a script

i would like to hear about your amnesty international…. the author of the book im reading abt the icrc keeps comparing the 2 of them

Avatar

Ooo this characterisation actually makes so much sense! I can see ICRC having to really be careful with her mannerisms whenever she gets put into a conversation, I think she’s just very aware like that. Improvisation of speeches when she talk can be really risky lol.

I get the comparison I think, both are meant to be focused on human rights, though ICRC is more on actions, actually implementing themselves to the field, while Amnesty is more vocal, calling out the government through social medias, protesting the countries’ human rights violations, and sending letters they recieved from their volunteers and followers, just feel like they have some common goals but *very* different methods of executions

As for my Amnesty…he’s a little magical appearance-wise, he’s basically a living candle wax…his whole body is made of wax…even his hat…I think it’s pretty hilarious. He also has some barbed wires wrapped around his arms and legs, don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt that much, and it’s unclear why they’re there, did he put them on himself? Is it some sort of a curse?, idk man I’m rambling nonsense at this point so anyways

I made him British-Jewish, I just think there could be some sort of metaphors about some of his skeptics focusing on his ethnicity rather than his doings, or crazier thing, a whole conspiracy theory that further fuel the narrative of “the Jews are controlling the world”. Another simpler reason is that his founder was Jewish and I want to pay homage for that, too.

Personality-wise….not the best person to get close on a personal level. Although he has the image of the well respected and reputable human rights organisation, there has been allegations of the org’s workplace being quite toxic and racist, thus I’d say it’s best to keep him as your colleague rather than your friend, or else you might feel your human rights being threatened(lol)

He’s the closest with Human Rights Watch(HRW), a close friend a continent away since HRW lives in New York while Amnesty in London. HRW has certainly had put up with Amnesty’s true colours, being bullied and drove up the wall and all(did I mention HRW actually has traits of BPD? He can never truely trusts anyone and can hate somebody just because of a single bad thing they’ve done, he basically sees the world in black and white), but he keeps tolerating him because in the end they still have to work together a lot. Childhood best friends core or whatever you’ll call it.

Yeah that’s about my Amnesty lol, and look at this little work of the duo, aren’t they such a good team?

ignore the way i take notes i just wanted to show you because… omg her family made her go to therapy. because how else do you translate this

(okay really they all got interviewed but i think she was the only one who had to be dragged into it lmao)

(she was like completely silent her first two sessions)

Oooo I actually love those notes…something about noting more human-like aspects of the personifs like setting up interviews for them….absolutely eating this up

Just remembered that once upon a time I tried to make a logo for my AU, it was uhh—no it’s nice! It’s very nice!

There are two versions, white-blue and black-white, I tried to make it look like calligraphy art with a bit of UN motives like the laurel…

I haven’t really used it much just yet, but probably try to sneak it in the future MNUN-related works lolol

Also yes the guy in the third image is my UN

HI! since the last time we talked i have become significantly more normal about the international committee of the red cross (this is a lie)

(her name should link to the character sheet i am writing for her if it doesnt work lmk tumblr was kinda weird about it)

Avatar

OOOO THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME SAUCE I really respect your dedication to building her character…this reminds me so much of those history books on orgs I love reading on academic websites and Internet Archive…absolutely love it dude keep up the great work

I should write about my orgs as well buttt I’ve only finished the UN’s so far mmmm

your un 🤝 my icrc: being pathological people pleasers

love the personif/human parallel chain of command too with un being equivalent to the secretary-general……. him being educated like a normal human….. where did you get the name ulises from?

(also the book thing makes sense considering rn the character sheet is basically the humanitarians by david forsythe sparknotes LMAO)

Arghhh the name Ulises is just me searching up list of names on Wikipedia and picked one that sounds nice lol

That was also before I realised that Ulises is a derived spelling of Odysseus…but I have a concept that when orgs are choosing their “human names” they don’t really care about the meaning of the names…nor the gender the names are supposed to be…hence they can end up with some nice sounding names with hilarious meanings haha 😓 like my UNESCO’s name Ulysse is also derived from Odysseus, UNHCR’s name Ulrich(even tho he’s a dude) means noble..

This is a little old but this is CIE design in its full glory…

Yes this is what it would usually wear on daily basis 🦭 just a dress with a random shard of mirror at its chest and necklace full of colours in different hues…isn’t it such a fashionista

Oh yeah it’s also basically a walking rainbow

Oh yeah those are some of the first provinces(+Bangkok) I have designed wayyy earlier than the one I posted last night

Went for my own province first(Rayong) because why not, also it was quite a headache to come up with animals for them becAUSE EVERY SINGLE PROVINCE HAS A FISH AS THE PROVINCIAL ANIMAL CAN THEY BE MORE CREATIVE

One of the provinces even has a jellyfish but whatevs
