That would be Hayunne Visci, the leader of Team Azure Bijou. Hayunne comes from a wealthy family which is one of the reasons why he acts like such a snob towards others. He hides his despicable personality with a facade of charisma to girls that catch him fancy and when he is around his family.

His first name comes from the hauyne stone and his last name is mistletoe in italian i did purposely remove some letters from the actual translation

His design & personality was originally set on the octoling armour (please forgive my horrible beta sketch from three years ago))

but after consulting with my cauldron affiliates at the time, one of them suggested the Krakon 528, and so I decided to make him look similar to my favorite evil green hedgehog.

Yes and then of course, when Splat2 was announced, I changed his hair to the short buzzed cut just because it suits him so well~

Despite his egotistical attitude, he does care about his teammates.

So much in fact that he’s customized his autobombs to look like them and himself!

2. If your apprentice was a romanceable character in The Arcana, what would their route be like? (Feel free to be as detailed or as vague as you’d like.)

      Elora’s pretty shy when it comes to social interaction with most people if they aren’t customers so you might have to go slow with the actual romance stuff. I believe a big point in her romance would be finding self worth even in the things you find ugly or undesirable.

9. What is your apprentice’s natural stress response (fight, flight, or freeze) and how does that influence their actions when confronted with a stressful situation? Do they recover from stress quickly or does it affect them for hours afterward?

     She tends to just be a very tired individual so in most stressful situations she’ll drag her hands down her face and fight on. If she feels unequipped for the situation (such as certain social interactions) she’s more likely to freeze up or running off saying that she has to get back to her shop.

      Stress stays with them from a few days to possibly months but after particularly hard days Elora looks forwards to relaxing in various ways and smoking with her favorite magician.

20. Is your apprentice friends with any other fan apprentices?

There are so many amazing apprentices that Elora hasn’t had the courage to really talk to or befriend any of them yet but hopefully this can change in the future!

“ITS FINALLY HERE!!!“

written by Will Schumacher

I was listening to a podcast of Aleph Beta on the death of Nadab and Abihu. Rabbi David Fohrmann spoke of how the language of the story of the death of Nadab and Abihu was the same language used in the sin of Adam and Eve.

As a reminder, Nadab and Abihu are the sons of the first high priest Aaron. The tabernacle has just been erected and it is the beginning of the priesthood working in the tabernacle. Nadab and Abihu offered a strange offering that God did not command and they are killed on the spot.

Leviticus 10: 1-2 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. 2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

This instantly made me think of the New Testament story of Annanias and Sapphira. They too died instantly when they brought a “strange”/sinful offering to God. Read Acts 10.

I believe these stories replicate each other and show the same message. My assumption was then that the stories are numerically linked by the numbers within the Bible.

The stories are linked by numbers. Strong’s G4551 = Sapphira. This is Bible verse 4551…

Numbers 26:61 And Nadab and Abihu died, when they offered strange fire before the Lord.

Adam and Eve dwelled with God and they sinned and spiritually died and were kicked out.

The tabernacle was God’s way to dwell again with His people. Right at the beginning of the tabernacle time Nadab and Abihu sinned in their offering and died and were carried out.

In the New Testament the Church is likened to the tabernacle and temple. We are called the living stones. God is dwelling in us now. Acts 2 shows the Holy Spirit descending on the early church and the start of the 3rd temple. Right at the beginning again Annanias and Sapphira offer a sinful offering and they die and are carried out.

Sapphira is the name and number linking the two stories. It means “sapphire” and comes from Strong’s H5601 used a few times with the image of God on His throne. That image is important I believe in understanding the message God is trying to get across. It’s first use is in Exodus 24:10.

Exodus 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.

Notice who was there to see God enthroned over the sapphire floor, Nadab and Abihu.

Exodus 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
