Worse than RA actually. Because RA was brought into existence through a simulation paradox and shaped humanity by becoming it's law and its enforcement.

Osiris would end reality as we know it and has absolutely zero issue letting us know of this goal.

Something I find interesting to realize is that the Goblin in-universe isn't actually all that much of a trickster. Between the dominion over systems and senses, the overrides of reality and the base concept of liturgicode, which can be essentially defined as worship in the form of digital code, this is not primarily a pattern group of sneaky tech saboteurs or sorcerers of any sort. Instead, Goblins are priests. Lowly, little servant machines with the purpose of being the tools through which a digital, paracausal god like an NHP manifests its will into reality, even if only in ephemeral figments individually. Pray you never have to face a unified cult of Goblins or you will find that you will have prayed to the wrong god.

One of my favorite moments in Lancer was when our team (Security for a Union based diplomatic mission that went sideways fast) made a hasty deal with a higher up in Harrison Armory to get her to help with protecting a planet from a disgraced Karakin noble with a chip on his shoulder a mile wide. So the HA ally we got had a really powerful chassis and we knew the MOMENT this was mission was done she was going to double cross us and go for the planet herself. So I loaded out with my Goblin and decided to use my core power on her mech, which wound up working out well. I got Osiris ticked up to the 4th gate at the end of the skirmish, and when the battle was over, neither the HA ally nor I had taken our turns for the round. So I target HER with Hurl into the Duat to take control of her systems and convince the GM that I could tell her mech to phase in firmament (yeah she could do that) while I ejected myself and the Osiris casket so as not to get sucked in myself. I made a crit on the hacking roll. And so I was thinking we'd get like a round or two to regroup, but nope. She was banished to the shadow realm. She came back later, but I was still shocked how well it worked.

Multiverse. My theory is Osirus is a version of Ra from a dead and forgotten other possible future split from the incident that created Ra, and it's slowly leaking in. The reason there aren't any other possible realities that don't include Ra is because they all fell to their own "gods" or were quickly subsumed. Ra knows this and is a benevolent God, but doesn't care for these outside "gods" (must less friendly versions of itself from the multiverse) and as such enacts the bans on developing the tech that might let them loose. Meanwhile, the Horus group, (Horus being the son of Osirus), are individuals corrupted by this leakage from dead realities and are actively looking to bring forth Osirus once it reaches a critical mass. (It should also be noted that historically, there's some back and forth between worshippers in different times and different parts of the Nile whether Ra or Osirus is more important)

I like the somewhat funny idea that OSIRIS will do what you're asked of it, with them asking for praise in return, like bratty princess character. Imagine petting your Goblin's dashboard after you "let" OSIRIS hurl an enemy into hell, thanking them for their "blessing", and calling them a good boy.

Horus really saw a mech that nobody knows where it came from and has an nhp that summoned itself into existing and said "yooooo YOOOOOOO!!"

Wait, can a goblin recall a mourning cloak that failed a teleport with shackles?

Some of these abilities would be terrifying on a necromancer frame that flavoured as not death but the ruler of death itself

Big fan of mech games and TTRPGs and this is my first time hearing of Lancer. I'll have to look into it more.

That title is perfect. In my first time playing Lancer, I made a goblin, and it was my headcanon that whenever I hacked someone their screens would be filled with goatse and live leak. I also made it's only weapon be the terashima blade for extra f u n n y . That's right, I made a melee goblin work.

@@rita6355 Give it all levels of skirmisher and a terashima blade, and you're a force to be reckoned with. Maybe add some nelson bits for maximum zoom. Don't need to attach myself to my party member who can teleport when I can just yeet myself across the same distance!

Hey, this a great video, but there's a glaring error right near the start! The thing that differentiates a Flex Mount from a Main Mount is that a Main can take a Main or smaller weapon, while a Flex can take a Main weapon or TWO Auxiliary weapons. Any mount can be used for a smaller weapon than it can handle (with a few exceptions). While I'm rambling about mounts: The Main/Aux Mount can take a Main AND an Aux weapon, not a Main or Aux (that'd just be a Main Mount). I really love this series, and hope to see more form you in the future!

I would love to see you do a deep dive on the Hydra please. Besides the Orchis, it is my favorite looking mech. So alien like. Love your work man.

I ran a Manticore with H0r-OS 1 and a exotic you get from Dustrgrave called the Blast Pick. I would force an enemy into adjacency with with and then hit them with the pick, or I could puppet them somewhere I wanted to go and swap with them using Beckoner. It was a pretty fun combo to run!
