- I think this is slightly less public knowledge because the stix stats sheet only makes its way around sometimes, but: Zahliya speaks in what I would call a very slight Spanish accent. I don't know how else to describe it; there is no reason in either OCverse or Stixverse that he should be distinctly Spanish (from Spain) but he's always had that kind of R-rolly vocalization in my head. (In OCverse, I haven't actually named his home planet, so I have no word to describe the accent there either lmao) I would definitely compare it to the English voice acting done for Irene and Elysium Arknights so RIP the brainrot continues ig. - Zahliya's touch-aversion comes from the fact that the only time he's ever been touched has largely been in battle, therefore he doesn't like random touches. I think the only person actively aware of it was Aspen because it came up in an old thread with him and Luca. Random touches will set off his alarm bells, do not touch the garg. (He is still learning what safety feels like) - Zahliya's name is pronounced "Zah-LEE-yah" with the emphasis placed on the "li" syllable. I am saying this because I know Rubie pronounces it "ZAH-leeyah" with the emphasis on the "ah". The nickname is pronounced "Ah-lee" like "Prince Ali, fabulous he, Ali Ababwa" etc etc the song you know the songโ - Moder's favourite flower snack is daffodils. They taste :) - Moder is extremely angry all the time that plant magic can't be shared with you guys because it gives Suri access to you. >:( - Callan will eat anything as long as it has meat. If you give him a lone vegetable or fruit he will spit it out like a dog. - Callan's favourite form to be in is Tiny Callan because he likes it when people come visit the fishtank and give him things. These days he thinks the lake is getting boring because everyone has to walk so far. - Sinann having a person form was LONGGGG planned (because koi were thought to be dragons). In addition Sinann was always a pseudo god of life (rivers are the origin of life, as we all know), but it's hard not to cross that wire with Moder being a forest/earth deity. That said, this is why Sinann's water heals, and why the fish come back so easily. They are just cycling life for you :) - Sinann, like any fish, really likes peas. Like. REALLY likes peas. - Sinann is the one Guardian that Callan trusts implicitly. - Aurora had a real name once. I do not remember what it was. At a certain point I was actually going to have her correct the playerbase and be like "my name is (X)" but I got attached to the name Aurora. And therefore she did too. - Initially Aurora was based on a phoenix, but we have a fire-aspected guardian (zahliya) already so I changed her to be light-based and more of a resplendent quetzal/peacock/harpy eagle mix. In retrospect, this makes more sense since she's the sky. - Beiwe makes all of the dishware in her realm in her kiln. Surprisingly despite how bulky she is, she has a very delicate hand when it comes to crafting. - Beiwe is not very book smart; anything she says she recalls from memory, which is why she'll often say "I don't actually know" if someone asks something and she didn't experience it/didn't read about it. (This is also my mod explanation for being like: I can't spoon-feed you all the lore, go experiment :) ) - ZONARI WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE (no we know that) so have this instead that I think only a few people might know: Zonari is a "hot nerd" archetype. She loves women, science, and especially geology/rocks. She would do human experimentation if she found a victim. She is this meme. - Zonari stores memories she takes in stones in her jewellery :) You guys may be able to get these back one day, if you can appeal to her. - The Behemoth acts like an unruly Siberian Husky, meaning if you leave food out she will trundle onto the shore to steal it. Especially steaks. - Ydalir's favourite scent is oranges, and her favourite decoration is rose petals preserved in bottles of water, or anything goldfish related. - The only reason Ydalir would want to have a non-shadow form again is solely so that she can do her hair (shadowy tendrils in the nebulous shape of hair can't be done up all cute). She has yet to want to be a person because "bodies are so hard to deal with".
I might be forgetting someone. But there you go, laughsโ
