"this is going to hurt," thinks Aghurlal, in the moments as he falls from an ala mhigan rooftop. "I feel as though I've been falling for years." He's righted himself in the airflow, but is aware he has seconds to save his own life. Flagstones - ruined walker mech to one side - loom rapidly. "whatever part of me hits first us going to be obliterated." his eyes water, whether from airflow or fear unclear, "time," writing backwards to convey how little time he has, "to choose." with his right (main) hand he protects his head and neck. His left hand impacts first. Bright red indicates the loss of any sensation other than pain as his tail helps carry him over to complete a roll of sorts; his right foot similarly becomes nothing but pain as his tail flips him right way up. He'll come to a stop lying on his front.
Aghurlal, or Irion as he's known at the time and place of this image, gripes about something or other as he puts his tek limbs on. His left arm prosthetic is detached and held in his right bio hand. His right leg prosthetic is currently detached; he probably lost his leg to mid femur, but a little more has been removed since to allow better stability for the tek leg. His tail is still bio, but his vertebrae C through mid T appear to be tek now. His hair is shaved at the back now as well in order to make better access for those high C spine tek modules. Lastly, the left side shoulder and possibly ribs appear to also be tek, with a small incursion on the right side near the bottom of the spinal tek. I drew the tek super simple appearance, like BJD style. It's modern Garlean cybernetics, but I imagined it being experimental, since he demands a lot from it. If it's not at least as powerful and reliable as his bio limbs he'd be pretty ticked off at the engineer for not trying hard enough, hehe...
He was knocked from standing, luckily conscious. Thinking something like
