Facts on the top of my head that i’ll share in a random order

• I planned to reveal this later, but i keep postponing that ONE drawing that this info goes along with. So screw it. Tobleron met Sundae when the latter was young, like 7-8. He wasn’t cared much by his parents, and was just- generally unhappy. So when Sundae saw that there was a circus in town, he figured it’d cheer him up, especially after being bullied by classmates. And that’s where he met Tobleron! He was MYSTIFIED by Tobleron’s clowning skills and bug-appearing powers; while the rest of the audience was terrified. So after the show was over, Sundae told Tobleron that ‘when he’d grow up, he’d like to be like him’... Tobleron having no concept of age/growing up, just kinda told him ‘what are you waiting for? I can totally hire you right now!’. So Tobleron just kinda illegally adopted/kidnapped Sundae; and the latter’s family never really cared.

•... but as i said, Tobleron has no concept of growing up, so... He kind of treated Sundae like he’d treat anyone else; he never ‘raised’ him. He only ever taught him clowning and creepy tricks. So Sundae just... Never noticed his growth/time passing, and never matured. He’s actually barely aware that he’s an adult... As bad as Tobleron is, he actually isn’t the one who taught Sundae to crawl on all fours, dig in people’s backyards, steal teeth etc. He just kind of develloped all this on his own. Tobleron honestly has mixed feelings over these... Why steal children teeth when you can just TAKE teeth? Why throw bugs at people when you can simply make them appear? ... they’re both just as bad as each other.

• Sazae is gay, and the kinda namekian that isn’t into sexual relationships. His boyfriend ‘requirements’ are for the man to be sliiightly stronger than Sazae himself, so they can have an healthy rivalry and improve each other’s strenghts. But if someone is attractive to Sazae but is much stronger than him, he’ll have zero positive feelings and just want to crush them.

• Liegois wants to get better at miming so he doesn’t have to talk to people anymore. Talking can be quite hard for him... He just isn’t good with words.

• Secchi actually makes more money than you think, despite being a freshwater sailor who has no house, and lives on his boat with little to no possesions. The hard-to-get creatures he fishes can be sold for quite a lot, and tend to be bought by rich fellows looking for fancy seafood. But he never uses that money for anything; he’s sastified with what he little he has.

• Secchi talks like a pirate sometimes, especially when he’s getting frustrated. Which is often. Fighting tough river creatures and being good at it kind of warps his expectations for some reason.

• In-universe, Tobleron is being VERY mysterious/vague with his past, and, everytine he’s asked, changes his story drastically. He even says straight up stupid things to people he believes are gullible (Sundae). But here’s his real story: Tobleron was a ringmaster in his past, but his circus was in Hell! So he was making horrific shows all the time, and his demon circus mates were just as horrifying as Tobleron himself. And Tobleron was so good, and his circus mates respected him so much, that they did some kind of ritual to make Tobleron get out of Hell, and spread his horrific talents over to the mortal world. And while he’s at it, find mortal people that go along with his creepy stuff, so that when they die, they can all go to Hell together, and have a even better horryfing circus!

Sundae

greatest quality: sundae’s surprisingly ok if you’re 1) nice to him 2) can handle him. He won’t exactly ‘notice’, but he’ll be less of a constant nuisance; he’ll be instead an occasional nuisance. Congratulations!

biggest flaw: everything else. I was going to say that it’s a miracle Sundae isn’t in prison, but he actually went there quite a few times.

Liegois

greatest quality: Liegois may not talk much, but he listens instead; you could tell him your deepest, darkest secrets, and he’d NEVER say it to anyone else. After listening, he can even try to help if he can.

biggest flaw: Liegois loneliness can turn into bitter longing, and can as a result get angry at people who keep his only friends away from him. While he has a certain someone to keep him from being bitter, Liegois can’t help those feelings sometimes.

Tobleron

greatest quality: His show may be strange and often scary, but Tobleron has definitely some kind of charm as a ringmaster. Hes so good at it, he’ll ALMOST make the audience excited about the ‘incoming giant maggots’. Almost.

biggest flaw: Tobleron has many, MANY flaws, but his biggest is his loathing for cute things. Give him a flower crown, he’ll try to make a demonic fire ritual in order to get rid of it; cute things are just DISGUSTING to him, and he wants to ruin them any way he can.

Sazae Oni

greatest quality: Sazae’s really nice with people in general (as long as they don’t do anything to him), but even more so with people he likes. Being ‘nice’ tends to involve doing things for them; especially carrying stuff.

biggest flaw: since Sazae works in a circus, he tends to get constantly praised for his actions; this was the case before he was in the circus as well, so he has QUITE the ego. Even when that very ego is the one thing that makes him go down in battle, he never learns.

Sailoon

greatest quality: Can catch a bird for you...

biggest flaw: ... but will eat it in front of you

Daiquiri

greatest quality: when someone is ok with him, Daiquiri is ok with them too; he doesn’t really act NICELY, but he tolerates them or he shows his respect. Though in the latter category, his respect can be somewhat seen as idolization; though this category only applies to his grandmother, and @tirasany ‘s Auric 👀

biggest flaw: his sore loser attitude cost him a lot, that it may be Tobleron, who used to be his friend, casino clients, or even potential locers (that, granted, might have been interested in him only because of his power and money).

Tsurara

greatest quality: Tsurara’s super duper passionate!! Will talk for literal hours about yokais!!

biggest flaw: not very tolerant towards people that don’t believe in yokais; he doesn’t even considers the fact that some people don’t have yokais in their culture.

Gachigachi

greatest quality: the only ‘mercy’ Gachgachi has is to creatures that have anatomical problems, like he does.

biggest flaw: i mentioned that Gachigachi destroys crops in hopes that small villages strave to death; but i forgot to mention that when he does so, he circles the village like a predator, and makes sure that no one escapes to get food or help. He won’t leave the said village until famine has decimated most of the population.

Icenculus

greatest quality: it’s existence is a gift from me to you

biggest flaw: look at it.. does it look like something who has flaws? ... Actually it eats noisily :,c BUT OTHER THAN THAT IT’S A PURE UWU

Secchi

greatest quality: secchi loves to help people! That it may be: helping someone crossing the river, a fellow boatperson in need, a child who wants a giant crawfish as a pet... he does all of that glady, and without expecting anything in return.

biggest flaw: Secchi prefers to keep his emotions bottled up, because he feels like exposing them would be similar to showing weakness. It happens that his emotions make him explode, and he tends to take them out by beating up any river creature that happens to pass by.

Maryssa

greatest quality: While it took a long time to manifest itself, Maryssa’s tolerance and open-mindedness were worth the wait.

biggest flaw: the fact that she has to pretend that she shares the same beliefs as her society might make her genuine actions not look the part.

Sadaf

greatest quality: ... uh... his faith is true/genuine. He truly believes in his god.

biggest flaw: ... flaws is all this old man has. Perharps his biggest is just how close-minded he is.

Chataigne

greatest quality: Chataigne thinks of nature as something that must be protected at all costs. He’s anything but afraid to put any eblow grease into what he does- if he had to give his life for nature, he would.

biggest flaw: Charaigne is actually the one who tends to go overboard with ‘how to protect the forest’; he has a very limited idea of how a food chain, or any ecosystem really, works. His heart may be in the right place, but... Yeah. While some of his plans can be harmful (i mentionned how he treats squirrels and anyone who visits the forest, but something worth mentionning is how he puts young trees in water, so that they can ‘have lots to drink all the time!’), some are just stupid, like throwing sticks in lakes and pond so ‘the fish can have a pretty environement down there’.

Pinecone

greatest quality: Pinecone’s stubborn, but in good way! When he does something, he does itvall the way through.

biggest flaw: even before Pinecone’s bioarmor covered his eyes, he was still going along with Chataigne’s plans without ever really questionning them; and he still doesn’t. He believes in Chataigne a little too much.

Tagada

greatest quality: despite the fact that he’s shallow and likes men only for how they look aesthetically, that said aesthetic is actually very open. He doesn’t mind the size, bodytype, race or color of the person- his concept of ‘pretty’ is quite versatile. If anything, he might genuinely compliment or point out in positive way the person’s features while he’s charming them. For Tagada, charming is actually pointing out what he likes about the person, rather than exaggerations or anything else.

biggest flaw: hm, what to choose- the fact that Tagada chose to dedicate his life to charming boys he thinks are pretty, all that without mentionning that he’s not into having any serious relationship with them? Or the very fact that he does so with ever really experiencing romantic attraction to them? Maybe a little bit of both, but especially the latter.

Orochi

greatest quality: Orochi is actually quite merciful. He actually accepts the fact that his minions can fail once; and simply lets them go if they fail a second time. The only case were he kills is when the minion in question is being disrespectful to him. And, out of fear that after they’re going away, the now free individual spreads information about Orochi’s plans, the latter never communicates anything to anyone.

biggest flaw: as mentionned before, his HUGE ego. Just how prideful do one has to be, to call themself ‘the strongest’ of an entire country? Without proof, nonetheless? Because Orochi actually rarely fights- he’s so proud that people just kind of ignores him, and he does the same for them.

Hecate

greatest quality: when she DOES decide to help people, she does it all the way through. She rarely asks anything in return, and, after helping someone, she tends to never be seen again.

FCs:

Sundae: doesn’t even understand the fact that he’s an adult, so love??? Nope. If someone were to actually flirt with him, he’d just think they’re being friendly and that wouldn’t hold his interest much- that and Sundae’s circus mates would go to the person and explain why what they’re doing is not good lol. Besides who would even try to flirt with the clown creature that tends to walk on all fours...? The only partner Sundae wants is a partner in crime- and he has those already.

Liegois: aro ace. Not interested in such relationships- but does have a platonic lover tho. I’ll show him one day!

Tobleron: no genitalia/doesn’t feel sexual attraction, so ace.

Sazae Oni: he’s the kinda namekian without genitalia, and isn’t interested in such things. Isn’t even interested into having children. But you know what he’s interested in? Men. Strong men. He’s homoromantic 👬💕

Sailoon: has no concept of any kind of love. Seeing people doing the mere act of holding hands confuses him greatly. Why hold hands to express your affection while you can simply offer a freshly caught prey

Daiquiri: Bisexual- more women leaned. But has no luck with anyone actually. He probably actually never did IT.

Tagada: no genitalia (‘cause that’s my hc of core people/shinjin + demons- since they get born from fruits and all) and actually doesn’t feel romantic feelings? But tries to date men (and only men... evil ones) anyway because he’s very much into them aesthetically. But only aesthetically. If he ever got in an actyal relationship he’d panic lol

Tsurara: Doesn’t really know his orientation- this kinda things tend to confuse him. He has a relatively childish and naive way of looking at things, so in his eyes, any kind of love is a big mystery. Also, i guess if he ever found one of those kinda yokai that charms people, the said yokai would probably give up pretty quickly- because Tsurara would just interpret it as friendliness. Like if the yokai is like ‘come... come to my special place... and i’ll-‘ Tsurara will be like ‘Hold on!! I gotta ask my parents first :/ wouldn’t you rather come to my place instead?? We can have a PILLOW FIGHT!’

Sadaf and Maryssa: both straight- and they’re together so yeah lol. They did have children- and that’s enough for them; plus their relationship strained over time so they don’t have that much of a couple relationship anymore.

Pinecone and Chataigne: are together, so gay. And i highly doubt they’d have a sexual relationship; they’re too busy being ecoterro- uhhh i mean protecting the forest. From harmless things. Even from animals trying to survive by eating a bunch of nuts- like ‘oH MY GOD PINECONE THERE’S SOME HEARTLESS CREATURE EATING NUTS FROM THAT POOR TREE!!’, with Pinecone replying ‘OH NOOO!!! What do we do?!’ And Chataigne ‘LET’S WRECK IT AND PROTECT NATURE’... yeah they’re very busy people

OCs:

Cedra and Quibris: they’re both without genitalia, so ace- and Quibris is aro, they don’t understand the point of romantic love. Cedra on the other hand, while not especially understanding romance itself, has been sometimes feelings things like that, towards Quibris, before they got in a platonic relationship. When the latter happened, Cedra was more than satisfied with their relationship, and his romantic ones just kinda faded away. But now that they’re not together anymore, they miss each other greatly...

Lulu and Moiris: both without genitalia, and homoromantic- since they’re together!

Cycloplasm and Ocularose: both based on me so ace aro, no genitalia and aesthetically attracted to men. Especially attracted to a certain fictional character... (those who know me personally probably know who it is, lol.)

Calnis: No genitalia, panromantic. But likes to play ‘hard to get’ to an obnoxious level, and as result never actually had a partner. They’d never admit that part though.

Cupsilon: No genitalia, and aro. But might also not even accept platonic relationships- he’s too afraid to care for people, out of fear that they ‘betray’ him like Calnis did- because this event greatly affected him and is afraid to have any type of relationship, that it may be friendly or else, with anyone.

Fruitbugs: all pan and ace- don’t have genitalia or any concept of sex in their program. Except Olive, who has all that too but doesn’t feel romantic feelings either; actually, he doesn’t feel *anything*...

Also fun fact about Fruitbugs- in the game, the players need to state their age; and the game experience is slightly different based on that. Under 18, Fruitbugs don’t really care about the players and are essentially humouring them; they don’t feel anything for them and at best they pretend to be friends. And for 18+ players, that’s when Fruitbugs are their true selves and act as dating sims characters. Also, they don’t have genitalia, so even for adult players, nothing 18+ happens; only occasional blood and gore.
