#deltaverse sans

Well, the Philippines is a pretty big, diverse place. The most common languages may be English and Filipino, but there are regional languages as well, so it’s likely that Beta would’ve been raised multilingual.

There are over 120 indigenous languages in the Philippines, so even within the same country, birth citizens could technically have different native/first languages. But for simplicity’s sake we’ll just keep to Filipino, since it’s the national language and based on Tagalog.

According to Google, kuya is often used to refer to older brothers and cousins, friends, and any older male. It can be used for both family members and strangers, so it’s possible Beta may refer to Delta, Color and/or Epic as kuya.

It can be used as prefix—Kuya Delta, Kuya Color, Kuya Epic—or as a standalone term—“Kuya, can you help me?” This is usually both a sign of affection and respect.

I like to think a big part of it is competing in the Omega Timeline’s Coliseum. I like to think he and Cross actually spend a lot of time leading up to his birthday training to compete—going to the gym, running a mile or two every two to three weeks for a an entire week, maybe going to specifically created gyms or areas where it’d be safe to train with powers and magic as well as weapons.

Intermixed with training with Color specifically on how to use the bravery soul, since im pretty sure superyoumna mentioned that is actually a thing that happens.

I also like to think he and Epic team up to torment (prank) killer for all his assholish ways leading up to dee’s birthday, create their personal karma. I doubt they do this every birthday, simply because one killer would grow to expect it eventually and two it’s supposed to be a fun day and tormenting killer everytime (especially if he hasn’t actually done much shit leading up to it) would eventually just be mean and not funny or fun at some point.
