Grian is an eldritch magical alien pretending to be a chicken hybrid with no powers besides wings and eggs. His superhero name is poultry man.

Mumbo is a shape shifter killer cyborg that eats souls to turn into things. His superhero name is Mr. Peace Love & Plants and has the highest kill count in Boatem.

Pearl is a moth lady who can control gravitational fields. She frequently changes the gravitational pull of random animals, leaving them permanently upside down. Her hero name is eclipse.

Scar is also an eldritch magical alien of a different variety to Grian that pretends to be a human sorcerer. He was formerly a villain along with his fellow Vex Cub before rebranding and helping to found Boatem. Previously the Jingler and now the Magician.

Impulse is a scientist that gained electric powers through an accident while performing an experiment with team ZIT (no hero or villain affiliation at the time, just three mad scientists) Tango nearly died in the same accident and had to download his brain into a robot. His superhero name is Discharge

Boatem fights mostly against the villain groups the Octagon and the big eye crew. Boatem causes just as many problems and do just as much illegal stuff as their rivals, but all of their members are rich in their secret identities (and Scar somehow ended up mayor of their main city of operations) so they have a widespread propaganda campaign about how heroic they all are.

I love this. I cannot express how much i love this. Not exactly heroes, but not villains either, they're in that little grey spot people seem to either not care about.

But, what about the other hermits? Are they villains as well or are they heroes or vigilantes? do boatem know about their civilian identities as well?

Stevinel candy themed stimboard for anon! Sorry this took so long!

And then there's Joe Hills, the one regular human that's such a cryptid that everyone assumes he's some sort of ancient god.

Hey! Skylar here, making yet another ooc post!

Just wanted to say that can we please keep the ask box relatively light and positive? As in, let's not talk about stuff that makes people uncomfortable light and positive?

There's a thing that's not related to the arc that's happening right now that is making a lot of the mods and a few other people uncomfortable, and I'd appreciate it if we stop and don't do stuff like this ever again?

I know it was supposed to be light-hearted, but it started to make a lot of us uncomfortable. So yeah, hope you all understand.

And in general, please send the questions you send us things that aren't potentially triggering for both us the mods and everyone else who are watching this all happen, and if you do, please add tw's at the start of the ask,

wels who was born in the year 300 (or earlier but i’m sticking w/ 300 for now), he was cursed to be immortal by a witch that has a grudge against him and his family, because of this he has lived through some shit, namely some pretty bad and devastating pandemics and epidemic like the black plague and the spanish flu

a lot of the hermits (excluding xisuma) are completely unaware of the fact that wels is a 2000+ y/o immortal and not just a history nerd who knows a bit too much about 9th century clothing and how they were made for someone who was born in the late 1900s

this has lead to some mild confusion and weirdness

there were several moments where a hermit caught wels obsessively cleaning his house, questioned him, and got a incoherent response as an answer

there were multiple times where wels has panicked over a bad case of a non life sickness, occasionally mistaking it for a mild version of a more life threatening one, much to the chagrin and mild concern of his friends

he constantly gets confused about technology, much more then tfc, who didn’t grow up with technology and didn’t have anyone to teach him how to use it before hermitcraft, but at the same time, wels is also really amazed with how far people have came, i mean why wouldn’t he? they created digital books and letters!

some of the confusion includes:

Wels keeping items he collected through the years,

Knowing all kinds of languages, from the ones that aren't used anymore to new (yet old) ones,

being talented at everything

says things like "I am way too old for this"

okay but seriously, this is an amazing au, so much angst potential as well as massive crackfic ideas as well,

Grian was a broke college student studying music. To save funds, he's living with his childhood friend, Pearl. Pearl, on the other hand, is also another college student who hated her major and has been considering dropping out and finding a job. Grian encouraged Pearl to drop out and just start a band with him to earn funds. When they were young, they actually performed as a musical duo, with Grian as a guitarist and Pearl as a pianist. They asked Mumbo to be their bassist. He is Grian's college bestie who is still in his emo phase.

Mumbo agreed and found them a drummer, Impulse, who was his neighbour. They met each other when Mumbo heard Impulse playing drums, then Mumbo played his bass in response. An added bonus is that Impulse is a soundcloud rapper (Hermitgang). Lastly, they needed a vocalist. Mumbo suggested Scar, who is an acting student at their college. Despite being a good singer and theatrical performer (lol I imagined Gerard Way in this), Scar was never picked to be the lead actor of a musical because the universe said so. He decided to try his luck with Grian's band. And so they lived happily ever after.

no worries!! you're doing it right!

Pearl being a pianist and Grian being a guitarist fits their vibes, and it reminds me a lot of my younger sibling and me lol. Pearl n Grian aso have those vibes too

and ah yes, the emo bassist. What at way to describe Mumbo Jumbo /pos. Are Mumbo's and Impulse's musical duets played their their own houses or do they have meet ups?

Scar being the token theater kid is just, so him. theres really nothing to it. its just. goodtimewithscar is a nutshell.

what type of music do they make? boatem have the hip-hop/pop vibes, but also folk music, sorta like The Oh Hellos or The Crane Wives,
