#character tidbits

After you drown and start as another guy, the militsioner mentions that they're still looking for the drowned body. You can say their deaths are on him. He sputters and quickly dismisses the whole convo, although the guilt is apparent.

Also also, I fell off the roof and died in my first playthrough, later the militsioner mentions that someone fell and broke every bones in their body and that it was very traumatizing to watch.

And when he's depressed and says that we all deserve to drown, the water level rises all the way up and the whole town is completely submerged. I was at the highest rooftop and still drowned. I was wondering if he drowns as well as us in that scenario. Maybe not, since we start as a brand new guy after we die, so I guess he eventually calms down?? But what about the people in town... how are they okay??? The smoker is waiting for the water to swallow them up, apparently. He can't believe that he's still alive after all the floodings in the past. The captain(pawn shop owner) seems to be waiting for the total flood too, saying smth about no more slaves nor kings after flood when you visit him at night.

Maybe militsioner being depressed means it's the final line crossed, and he let everyone die? We were the straw that broke the camel's back? That he gave up??? Flooding seems to be a common occurrence because we see puddles everywhere and there are signs indicating flood zones. But those signs are only present on lower grounds, as far as I know. Has the town EVER gone through total submersion? Like ever? Or has that never happened before and him being depressed is the universe where we all die? DID WE MAKE HIM COMMIT MURDER-SUICIDE????

I NEED ANSWERS, NEED TO PLAY MORE, THE FUTURE CAN'T ARRIVE FAST ENOUGH I NEED MORE OF HIM

Two different extracts from <Unremembered Empire> of Lion placing his hands flat upon a table.

Is this Lion's habit of sort or just an author thing?

You know, I think that's kinda sorta what happens throughout time. As Benson is happy with Pam now, the new park workers don't piss him off like Mordecai and Rigby used to, he gets calmer, gentle, more laid-back.

Stella however, after dealing with the big disappointments in life, becomes grumpy, cynical, short-fused... :c

Dr. Isapyra Hollyberry. Isapyra is a story-world POV character we follow in. Well. Not Hogenroe. At least not at first. She is also from a legacy family; the Hollyberries have been in Hogenroe since the very beginning.

Character Inspiration for Isapyra Hollyberry:

Andie Walsh - Pretty in Pink (1986, Film)

Dr. Pamela Isley aka Poison Ivy - Batman (since 1966, DC Comics)

Princess Ariel - The Little Mermaid (1989, Film)

Ginger Foutley - As Told By Ginger (2000-2004, TV Show)

Blossom - The Powerpuff Girls (1998-2005, TV Show)

Angela Chase - My So-Called Life (1994-1995, TV Show)

Helen Parr - The Incredibles (2004 & 2018, Film Franchise)

Sam - Totally Spies! (2001-2008, TV Show)

Isapyra (who is not yet called Isapyra) is a shy bookworm who loves her family's orchard, her always complaining cat, and the only home she's ever known, Hogenroe.

Those loves, however, cannot distract her from some increasingly troubling questions; why does anything related to Isapyra's grandmother make her mother go cold? Why does the coven in the deep wood curse her family? Why aren't witches allowed to fly at night? Why does she incessantly dream about other versions of Hogenroe?

Despite the nagging questions and dreams Isapyra grows into a brilliant, determined young witch (even if her parents can't see it) with the stern but warm mentorship of her teacher Mrs. Kilner and the close friendship of her precocious new classmate, Avadine. Life for Isapyra is complicated, but she knows one day she can make sense of it.

Or.

Isapyra Hollyberry in her post-academy years spends her days arguing with unicorns at the zoo and her nights arguing with faceless strangers at one of the largest expert question-answer services in the country. The dream of unlocking the secrets of her family, the coven in the woods, of Hogenroe, all of the Hogenroes, has been replaced with paying rent on time.

Or.

Isapyra Hollyberry has been dead for 13 years.

If the situation is dire, don't doubt he will do his job. However, if you are not in a rush, dying, or in extreme pain, he will make your situation a joke.

To take my mind off the impending doom of this upcoming week, I decided to write up a few tidbits about my snake-y ninja cinnamon bun.  This is a mixture of non-kink and kink related stuff to endear folks to this lil wannabe stoic that much more.  :P

Hakari

Hakari very seldom ever transforms into his true Saurian form.  It often manifests in the heat of battle, or extreme distress or anger, which is very rare since Hakari practices meditation frequently.

Hakari’s only tried alcohol once in his life.  After performing well during one of his practical exams, his grandmaster offered him a glass of wine.  The young ninja took a single sip, went wide-eyed, thanked his grandmaster for the drink, slowly rose to his feet, excused himself, and immediately rushed to rinse his mouth.

Hakari was once severely disciplined by his former clan for setting all the chickens loose, knowing they would just be killed and eaten if he didn’t.

Incidentally, part of the reason for that, on top of his inability to take another life, is because birds are actually Hakari’s favorite animal.  To him, they’re the cutest, most beautiful creatures on the planet, and the sight of them tend to warm his heart.  (Hence his “Disney Princess” moment in Chapter 1.  ‘XD)

Hakari’s stomach is incredibly overactive.  It tends to gurgle a lot if he’s anxious or nervous, and it’s INCREDIBLY loud if he’s hungry.  The former makes him a little nauseous, while the latter just makes him incredibly embarrassed.

Hakari has never been in a relationship before and as such, doesn’t know how to react whenever anyone flirts with him or dares to call him handsome or, Gods forbid...CUTE...just that his cheeks tend to go miiiiiiighty red when you do.  :P

Hakari hates being referred to as cute because, well, he’s a ninja, and ninjas are NOT cute...unfortunately, one way to NOT disprove being cute is to get blush-y and anxiously tug up your mask to hide how hard you’re blushing from being called cute.

Hakari may be a stoic, but he is veeeeeeery easily flustered.  Comment on his looks, rub his belly, tease him in any way, and he will shrink up anxiously. 

Hakari would rather die than admit it...but he is a HUGE cuddle bug...though, in fairness, he doesn’t actually realize that he is.  Again, he’s never been with another person before in any intimate capacity.  So he doesn’t realize how affection-starved he is or how instinctively he is drawn towards the physical warmth of others.

Incidentally, if he IS cuddling in his sleep, it’s one of the few instances where you will see him sporting the most docile smile imaginable as he slumbers peacefully.

For as embarrassed as Hakari gets if he ever unwittingly overindulges around Nara or others, having his bloated belly rubbed immediately subdues the young ninja, relaxing him ten times over as he slumps back and becomes putty in Nara’s hands.

Whereas some people love going to the spa, Hakari actually just loves being in the sun.  If he’s alone, he’ll remove his upper body armor and undersuit, leaving his torso completely bare and just bake in the sun.  His Saurian anatomy prevents him from getting sun burnt or anything more serious.  He literally can never be in the sun for too long.

Funny enough, after he’s sunbathed, it’s NARA who becomes the cuddle-bug because Hakari’s body absorbs sooooo much warmth.  XD

Hakari’s mind is constantly in flux despite his meditation and his stoic demeanor, making him prone to having nightmares.  Whenever Nara senses this, she’ll gently rub his back to calm him down. 

Hakari has actually never played a video game in his entire life...soooooo, you can imagine his face when Nara showed him Mortal Kombat XXV for the first time.  >:)

Oh my gosh. Yes. I mean, luckily Exriel’s room is a tree house in the backyard and Toriel usually just calls from the kitchen but if that were the ever happen, Exxy would be in trouble.
