Here’s my moc, inspired by the Hierophant card. Below there’s some info on the moc, and a micro bit of lore + Inspirations
Info:
The vortex below the is part of a function, as turning one of the dimensions disks turns all of them. To make this feel more disconnected from the person activating the function, I built a crank, which can be installed below the vortex, increasing the overall height. That increased height makes the model take longer to pose, and looks odd, so I leave it off most of the time. The model is not in jeopardy of toppling over though. Anyhow, there’s a video of this function, but it pretty much only shows the vortex, given I didn’t have a stand for my phone.
Lore + Inspirations:
The model pastiches many hierophant cards, which inspire how the robes were designed, plus the hat and staff. I also took some minor inspiration from “Hierophant Green”, in the eyes, and it was the jumping off point which led to the vortex. I felt that general connotations of water (wisdom, intuition and in a religious sense) were very appropriate for the card of tradition, or a giver of advice and knowledge (And the card’s own religious connections). I then worked out a backstory to tie the loose ideas together, given we needed to take inspiration, and not directly recreate a Tarot card (I think).
Within the world of this moc, the Hierophant is a myth, searched for only by the most desperate. They are believed reside in a lake, atop a mountain, though which mountain is unknown. The truth is the Hierophant can appear through any body of water, or through either of their 2 pillars (one pictured), which are located in large cities, though have been abandoned for some time. The common belief is that the Hierophant abandoned the cities that moved on from the old laws and ideals that once guided them, though some believe it was banished. The Hierophant can also manipulate water to it’s will, having it flow through their staff and upper body, and then dispensing it through their hands, allowing them faster travel
