20, 26, 36 and 40, perhaps, for your hatchling? ::)
20) favourite planet? gotta be brittle hollow. it's Full of information, it's good colours, they quite enjoy taking leaps of faith around the black hole and accidentally scaring the shit out of riebeck, and they get to do parkour there which is great.
26) why did they join owv? ever since they were little, rhode has always been a deeply curious thing. they love learning, love exploring, always reaching for more. timber hearth's gravity simply wasn't enough to hold them. as a hatchling one of their favourite hobbies was climbing the tallest stuff they could find, just so they could get a better look at the stars, stretch up as if they could touch them from here. they were enthralled by every story they were told by the founders (Especially feldspar), and would often hang around while they were doing stuff. they may have been allowed to test equipment at too young of an age and May have caused some Incidents but yk it only furthered their curiosity. and, after feldspar vanished, they seemed... even more determined to become an astronaut, even if they were still too young to start training just yet.
they were always really fascinated by the nomai and their history, too--the idea of a whole other society, and the mystery of what happened to them, captured their attention from the moment they first heard of it. they used to hang around in the old ruins on hearth a lot, loved climbing the arches and "borrowing" an old jetpack to make the jumps to the mining site. all the cool kids (re: rhode hal and marl) hang out in the mines trust.
(once when they were little, they told hal they were going to go up into space and figure out everything. they'd learn all they could find about the nomai and bring all that knowledge home so they could learn together. they later stand in the ash twin project, and realise, bitterly, that they've done it. shame hal will never know)
so yeah it's mostly for nerd reasons.
36) how long were they in the time loop? it's a little vague but atm somewhere around a year and a half, by my makeshift funky hearthian time. in my mind nomaian time systems are semi universal across clans to deal with the "time across systems" situation, so 22 minutes does not mean 22 hearthian minutes. to me. anyway yeah it's a while for sure, their time is spent in a mix of activities, anything to stave off the end of the universe a little longer. by the end of it they feel a lot older due to. the stress. and have a really weird time adjusting to the fact that that year and a half or so didn't actually exist for anyone but them and gabbro.
40) most shocking discovery? hm the two big ones (in different ways) were the interloper and the sun station. the interloper was an Experience, and it answered one of the biggest questions they'd had for a very long time. they spent several loops afterwards just. Thinking about the situation.
and then there's the sun station. rhode does not like the sun station. rhode crashed the ever loving fuck out after the sun station. they were clinging so desperately to the hope that there was something Wrong with the sun, perhaps Wrong with the other stars, somehow, but something that was fixable. they're always, always trying to fix things, even well before the time loop. learning the nomai failed, the sun station did nothing, the sun is simply dying of old age, it... tore them apart. they were just.. unlucky. born to the universe's deathbed, doomed to perish at what should have been the first steps of their new life. it was several loops before they did much of anything again, mostly just sitting at the campout or with gabbro, breaking down over the fact that they literally cannot do anything to stop the sun from dying.
