Trivia about... Ian, Pit, Kiyu, and Clyde.
Ian
Full name: Barnabus Sebastian Baker
Age: 30s
Gender: male (he/him)
Race: Commander Shroob
Most notable details: all the typical Commander Shroob details (thick black moustache and yellow whistle at all times)
Likes: being a commander, commanding his underlings, beans, his moustache, interrogating others, spy novels, the Termina moon, Shroob-Ombs
Dislikes: humans, shady creatures, Koopas, Goombas, others bossing him around, his underlings disobeying him, sunny weather, others criticising/hazing him and/or his moustache

“I’m most likely not the best commander under Princess Shroob and her army, but I surely am one that everyone immediately listens to… well, mostly.
I have quite some underlings that consider themselves as one whole group under my leadership, and they can switch pretty well! In what respect? Well, if we have free time, we do, but once I command them to research the castle courtyard for suspicious creatures, they immediately split up and keep their eyes peeled. Of course, I do the same, because what a lousy commander I would be if I didn’t even do as I told the others myself! Plus, several pairs of eyes make a pretty good way to search for one shady thing simultaneously.”

Pit
Full name: Pit Polaris Benningwater
Age: 5 or 6
Gender: nonbinary/genderless (they/them)
Race: ‘regular’ Shroob
Most notable details: very high intelligence for their age, common blush on their cheeks, harsh lisp because of loose teeth
Likes: their status, popsicles, lemonade, science, physics, algebra, advanced maths, watching the most advanced ectobiologists do their thing, pickpocketing shady ones
Dislikes: humans, vegetables, being criticised about their lisp, their legit statements being counteracted, being underestimated due to their age, being hazed about their intelligence

“Uh… I lithp too much? Authowh, if you pweathe…?”
(Pit is the youngest servant of Princess Shroob. Being only just of kindergarten age, yet already having the intelligence of a university student, they’re convinced they make a great servant, and Princess Shroob fully agrees with it after having done research on them.
In the past, Pit was already allowed to leave the playgroup after one single day, and only had one day of each subsequent facility (pre-school to the university) where the people quickly discovered their massive intelligence. Of course, their guardian (they were born from ectobiology and thus have unknown parents) didn’t fully agree with the idea of keeping them secluded from the outside world, and that’s where he requested Pit’s future status as a servant to Princess Shroob, followed by the screening, and resulting into them actually getting the very status as well.
Of all of the servants, Pit is also the most hard-working one, even pickpocketing shady humans and other creatures wherever needed; most notably, stealing a Cobalt Star shard from princess Peach, which soon resulted into the comeback of the Elder Princess Shroob.)

Dislikes: humans, being rejected, being defied, olives, tennis, way too energetic Shroobs of any age, slash metal music, being tricked

“Hey gorgeous, how you doin’? Oh, snap, I should probably tell stuff about myself…
I’m one of Ian’s so-called underlings, yet I don’t feel like I’m being pressed flat underneath his claws or anything. I’m also one of the very few females in our group, so there’s enough guys that I can hook up with, yet none of them is really interested.
On one very special event, however, there was this wizard guy who probably likes me back just as much… he’s pretty dreamy and mysterious, and it’s a shame that I don’t get to wander outside of the clutches of the Shroob Castle too often, even if bullet trains are only just a thing in our newly-established kingdom, including one that’s directly connected to the castle. I’m very proud of the engineers who managed to realise this very idea, and I surely do hope that more bullet trains will come in our kingdom, so the wizard guy will be able to seek me again.”

Clyde
Full name: Clyde Kuro Nagashi
Age: 16
Gender: male (he/they)
Race: RC Shroober
Most notable details: small mole near his right eye
Likes: guarding, the Shroob princesses, beans, potato crisps, biscuits, robots, reading, jazz music, fireworks shows, technology documentaries
Dislikes: humans, swimming, tomatoes, being hazed, being criticised, being defied, horror shows, hole patterns (he has trypophobia), Goombas, loud sounds

“Even though I’m both a servant of Princess Shroob and a guard in training, I do have short home-school sessions two mornings a week. They don’t represent as much as my servant status, though, and I’m also very much convinced that I don’t even need that home-schooling anymore soon, since I already learn enough from actually watching the servants and guards doing their things.
As a guard, I’m very attentive and jump into action as soon as the commander blows his whistle, which is praised big-time, even if I’m not a veteran just yet. As a servant, I’m also very attentive, despite the fact that during then, I tend to slack the heck off even more than as a guard, since guards should never slack off under no conditions ever… and I’ve experienced enough fellow guards being degraded in such a process!
I also have an older brother who is sooo much obsessed by anime and all that jazz, and gets to see his friends more often than me. Not quite fair, but hey, that doesn’t mean that I don’t have enough friends among the servants and guards, even if they’re not always of my age.”
