landscaping your mind: chapter one

gem has always had magic, even prior to joining hermitcraft. her wizardry, gifted to her upon joining empires, has since been internalized and is now used in every server she goes to. how this magic is used changes depending on the server, yet it always seems to be nature related. as such, gem has since gained the physical attributes of a satyr, with long deer-like antlers and cloven hooves. these help her maneuver and get around her bases, especially when building :) oddly enough, things always seem to be growing when shes around. if shes around for long enough, there's a noticeable difference in the growth of flowers and flora that was located near her due to her time in afterlife, she also has the ability to shapeshift very slightly in servers outside of afterlife. small things such as giving herself gills, a different set of animal ears, and spawning in decorative clothing items are all common occurrences!

much like all the other soulmate duos, cleo and scott have a tie between them. however, unlike the other duos whose strings are naturally bound, theirs are tied together. despite not sharing physical damage, there's a strange phenomenon that causes cleo and scott to share emotional damage, which brings the two of them even closer together. i already headcanon that all the soulduos have something in common. due to the practical mending of their lives over their original soulmates, both received traits from one another. much like cleo, scott's wounds automatically get sewn up with thread upon respawn and / or healing. much like scott, cleo has a small patch of hair that changes color depending on life status. when one dies, the others heart stops for a few seconds before returning to normal.

xisuma has a large X shaped scar that spans across the bridge of his nose, but its not known by anyone really except for keralis due to the fact he keeps his helmet on just about all the time (general) tango is actually immune to fire and lava related injuries, so in order to keep things fair, he wears a pair of enchanted gloves at all times that register the feeling of heat for him. they shock him if / when he interacts with fire, making him take the same amount of damage as he would if he felt the burning (general) scar's scar patterns change every time he logs on due to vex magic. if there was a significant impact from the previous time, such as a shot in the arm, there will be a new scar there to signify that. also, if you look close enough to the air around scar, some of it warps a bit, making the surrounding area seem almost as though its being looked at through water. this is the effect of vex magic, which slightly manipulates the world around him in harmless ways (general) scar and grian used a combination of vex and watcher magic in order to keep BOATEM alive in outer space after the previous world exploded (season 8) mumbo is smothered in redstone almost all the time. i have a general redstone theory, which is that because it's a powder, it can be very harmful to a users lungs if used without moderation. if it infects the user, it can cause the user to start seeing the standard galactic alphabet floating around them. usually, this goes away after a while and some clean air, but considering the fact mumbo is basically married to redstone, he's so effected by this that the symbols just don't go away anymore. as such, he reads things, such as messages in chat or words on a sign, in the standard galactic alphabet and translates it accordingly (general) similarly, due to being exposed to mycelium for too long, grian's hair slowly started tinting purple, which slowly faded after the turf war (season 7) team star sat and sang all of hermitgang in front of the g team DURING the civil war. they literally just took a break from all the tnt and ghasts and what not. and picked up a bunch of mics. and just dissed them (season 6) bdubs didn't survive the blast of the earth's explosion, but was revived nonetheless due to vex magic. much like how he fell out of the sky in season 6 after being assumably lost & killed in the forest of season 5, the after effects of scar's vex magic managed to grant him regenerative powers, which carried him over into season 9. though this pseudo-vex magic can be very tiring on the body, so the man sleeps a lot (season 8 + general) mumbo's hair is actually blonde; tangos hair is actually black -- they both dye their hair frequently (general) jellie can fly!! scar gave her a bit of magic so that she can float beside him no matter where he is or what he's doing :] whenever scar dies or logs out, she sits in the spot where it happened and waits until he comes back (general)

or maybe its just some silly audible ad lmao
