[beautyinafruitfulworld]

I'm not sure if you're up for this but

POV ( you're OC ) was wondering around home world the fog that is a permanent fixture of the planet makes it slightly hard for them to see but

they notice fireflies making it a little easier to see in the white fog but their attention is caught and their eyes dark to a blue light in the distance in the apple orchard and notices a girl in a blue Lolita dress in brown and red hair with heterochromic eyes sitting at a table with a different teapots and different tea sets as she is holding a jar with blue stars

( the blue stars were given to her by father Demaryius as a gift while he was wandering the Galaxy looking for Gundam machines that were left in the Galaxy that will eventually explode and while doing so he finds Immortal blue stars and decides to take them and give them to the young girl knowing she would love them)

Kianna: what a lovely light.....

Celaphios is utterly bewildered and a bit frightened, whimpering pitifully as he struggles to recall how he ended up here. Taking a deep breath, he attempts to calm his nerves. He decides that the best course of action is to appreciate the foggy beauty of Homeworld while searching for someone who might be able to assist him.

His curiosity is instantly piqued by the young girl in the lolita dress, particularly the glass jar filled with blue stars that she's holding. Without hesitation, he approaches the girl, letting out a couple of gentle chirps and purring softly. Despite being a towering, insectoid extraterrestrial, he doesn't appear to pose an immediate threat. He tilts his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the jar with wonder, silently pondering what could be inside.

Celaphios

POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised due to references to death, discrimination, abuse, and neglect.

Real name: Celuphoisa

Favourite food: Peanut butter pie with confetti sprinkles and raw meat (preferably Wagyu beef and mackerel)

Sexuality: Questioning

Gender: Trans (identifies as male)

Design: He resembles a typical Invader Drone, but with distinctively female Grub Invader characteristics, indicating he was born female. Celaphios’ appearance is marked by pearlescent white skin, coppery eyes speckled with metallic blue flecks, and Byzantine purple hands, toes, tongues, and forearms, where a single stripe adorns each. Additional notable features include silvery warts, silver-grey webbing, and iridescent dragonfly wings with maroon ribbing. Unlike most other winged Invader Drones, his are rendered useless due to a congenital deformity, characterised by severely crumpled and slightly shrivelled wings.

Despite his similarities to other Invader Drones, several unique traits set him apart. He's considered a runt because Invader Drones typically stand at 8' 10" (269.24 cm), whereas he measures approximately 7' 5" (226.06 cm). Celaphios bears several battle scars, including a curved gash from the top of his forehead to the left side of his right eye, a jagged chip on the right edge of his lower lip, and bite marks on the back of his head and shoulders. Additionally, he has a distinctive silvery-pink birthmark near the centre of his belly, shaped like a jagged four-pointed star with a subtle bend to the right. He has several dental issues, including missing and chipped teeth. Specifically, he’s missing his right incisor (front row), left premolar (second row), and right canine (second row). Additionally, he has chipped teeth: left canine (front row) and right premolar (third row).

He always carries a satchel bag made of gold-flecked, lavender-dyed leather, adorned with rosy brown straps. The bag's lid boasts an embroidered sea holly, set against the morning sun at its centre. Inside, he keeps a mossy green sketchbook, a set of rainbow-coloured markers, a black pen, a blue jewel with a strange glow, and a photograph of him and Marco's team standing proudly in front of the Sparrowhawk Operations Base.

In addition to his personal items, he wears a rosy brown load-bearing backpack, stocked with a map of his current location and essential supplies such as rations, first aid kits, and spare walkie-talkies. For his own personal comfort, he brings a red-and-black chequered pillow lined with soft white fur whenever he's deployed to the battlefield.

He still operates his trusty Grub Invader Zodematikhus, which has been modified to provide more interior space. The resized cockpit comfortably accommodates his backpack and satchel bag, allowing him to pilot with ease.

Character summary: Born mute, he has developed a unique communication style that combines body language, expressive sounds, and multilingual writing. To convey his thoughts, he often relies on his sketchbook, using markers in a personalised colour code to express his emotions. For instance, red signifies anger, while combining blue and yellow conveys happiness and calmness. Losing his satchel bag would devastate him because it holds sentimental and personal items. The thought of losing it fills him with anxiety and would likely plunge him into a depressive panic.

Whenever he's scared or startled, he reacts in one of two ways: either he flees to find a comfortable hiding spot or he closes his eyes tightly and covers his face with his hands, whimpering pitifully and/or shivering uncontrollably. Whenever he's angry, his nostrils flare and he erupts into a menacing display, hissing and growling. When in this emotional state, he has a tendency to lash out physically, biting, shoving people around, and twisting their limbs. Whenever he's sad, he hides in a corner or desperately seeks comfort, and then breaks down in tears and dog-like whining. Whenever he's flustered by compliments or feeling embarrassed, he tries to hide his face with his sketchbook or satchel bag. However, he sometimes glances down at the ground, subtly looking away, and twiddles his thumbs.

Despite being a fully grown adult, he retains a charmingly naive and childlike curiosity. He's very intrigued about anything he has never heard of or tried before, and he isn't afraid to give them a chance when the opportunity arises. He's very friendly and polite towards new people, but he can quickly pick up on strange vibes, which both weirds him out and fascinates him. He delights in causing mischief, such as swiping food from others to devour and snatching pillows to construct elaborate forts. Celaphios goes out of his way to persuade people into playing games with him, employing a subtle yet effective combination of gentle nudges, pleasant chirping, and an adorable, pleading gaze. He thrives on attention and affection, loving cuddles, pets, and sharing activities with his favourite people, such as board game nights. However, when left without attention, he tends to become demanding, throwing tantrums and displaying a grumpy, sarcastic, and dismissive demeanour—a situation quickly remedied by quality time and a tasty treat.

Celaphios is fiercely determined and resilient, proudly showcasing his tactical prowess and unapologetically celebrating his battlefield successes. He deeply cares about his loved ones and comrades, particularly those who show him compassion and tenderness. To him, they represent the closest thing to a true family, and he's extremely protective of them, willing to go to great lengths to ensure their safety. He's a sympathetic and attentive listener who doesn't mind when people turn to him to vent about their problems. He struggles with feelings of uselessness and loneliness, which he finds to be overwhelming and melancholic. To combat these emotions, he makes a conscious effort to be helpful and nurture his relationships. Helping others brings Celaphios personal fulfillment, whether it's something as simple as putting things back in their place.

He has a voracious appetite, finding solace and primal satisfaction in eating. While he strives for a balanced diet, his carnivorous cravings often prove irresistible, inadvertently leading him to consume Regular Army soldiers and innocent civilians. This often leaves him consumed by remorse, especially after discovering the consequences of his actions. It’s because whenever he eats, he becomes hyper-focused on the food and the pleasurable sensations of eating, rendering him oblivious to his surroundings and the people around him. He has mild scopophobia (the fear of being stared at) and is extremely sensitive to rejection, verbal abuse, and physical aggression, causing him to become distressed and miserable.

He dislikes being misgendered, even if it's unintentional, and typically addresses the mistake either politely or more forcefully, depending on the situation and the individual. He’s passionately committed to combating sexism and transphobia, and will openly address harmful behaviours when he encounters them. Celaphios is a vocal advocate for gender equality and trans rights, and has recently expanded his focus to include anti-racism, drawing parallels between the way people treat and view extraterrestrials and the experiences of marginalised communities. He disagrees with the Invaders' ideology and their insatiable drive for conquest, which involves exploiting natural resources harmfully. Instead, he advocates for peaceful coexistence among all life forms and responsible stewardship of nature.

Celaphios regards Red Eye and Gimlet as surrogate parents and deeply appreciates their unwavering protection and care, which makes him feel safe and loved. Adjusting to Red Eye took longer than expected because, as Ruoxi, she had reacted violently to his presence and even attempted to kill him. When she was Liddy, she playfully hid his satchel bag on top of the fridge at the Sparrowhawk Operations Base, a place he couldn't reach. This provocation made him lash out angrily, nearly causing him to hurt her. However, once Liddy began treating him with gentle affection and showed genuine interest in his alien origins, and Ruoxi became more warmly receptive towards him, he quickly grew attached to Red Eye. In contrast, he had never faced any issues with Shufen as she was the one who decided to take him under her wing and provide the attention he had always craved.

He's troubled by Gimlet's sexist remarks and misogynistic mannerisms and isn't hesitant to respectfully address this behaviour, subtly encouraging Gimlet to grow as a person. Whenever Red Eye and Gimlet must leave for military duties, he becomes visibly distressed, fearing the loss of the only two individuals he considers family.

To alleviate his anxiety during separations, he finds solace in the company of Rumi and Wysteria, who provide much-needed companionship. Over time, he has come to regard Rumi and Wysteria as surrogate sisters. He delights in listening to Rumi's lively accounts of her day and personal experiences, and shares tranquil moments with Wysteria, appreciating nature together. Furthermore, Celaphios takes pleasure in assisting Rumi with distributing supplies to soldiers on the battlefield and goes out of his way to ensure her safety.

He's on great terms with Nadia, having been instantly drawn to her when she gifted him his satchel bag, which he viewed as a sign of friendship. He frequently joins her on shopping sprees, where she treats him to delicious snacks. On these outings, she often opens up about her problems and shows him a more vulnerable side of herself, one that she usually hides from others. He doesn't get along with Pupipi because she often blatantly ignores him or reacts with snarky disdain. This behaviour makes him feel bad because he genuinely wants to befriend her and prove that not all Invaders are destructive, dispelling the common Martian perception that they're intent on devouring their kind and ravaging the environment.

He has a close Martian friend named Pepawruvi, whom he deeply admires and cherishes due to his exceptional kindness, empathetic understanding that individuals hold diverse beliefs and values, and unwavering dedication to protecting the natural world. Previously, he had formed meaningful connections with a few Invader friends and four of his brothers who uniquely understood his conflicts with his own kind and treated him with respect. Following their tragic and untimely passing, he has profoundly felt their absence and occasionally reflects on cherished memories of them. He harbours intense opposition towards the Invader King, vehemently disagreeing with his colonialist and megalomaniac tendencies as well as his insatiable desire for control.

Backstory: Celuphoisa was born on Venus, six years after arriving in the Solar System. She was born from a union between a battle-hardened male Ravenous Invader and a female Grub Invader, who had been reserved for breeding rather than combat. She was the youngest of her siblings, all of whom were male. As she grew into adulthood, the other Invaders noticed Celuphoisa's deformed wings, prominent birthmark, shorter stature, and muteness, which set her apart from the other winged Invader Drones. Recognizing her anomalies, she was promptly labelled the "runt" of the Invaders, excluded from mating with Male Invader Drones and Morph Changers to preserve their lineage's perceived purity. Despite being dismissed by most of her older brothers, four of them—Kervosha, Ulaphormek, Bnahluzios, and Zubkoyhani—secretly supported her.

Kervosha, Ulaphormek, Bnahluzios, and Zubkoyhani not only taught her how to fight and hone her abilities but also shared some of their food scraps with her, providing sustenance and support in her time of need. She managed to make a few friends who understood her predicament or were facing a similar issue, and they often stuck by each other, especially during battles. She attempted to form bonds with her other brothers, but they responded with physical aggression and verbal insults, mocking her appearance as "hideous" and leaving her feeling isolated. Her parents largely rejected her, although her father occasionally offered words of encouragement before she headed into battle.

After being deemed unsuitable for breeding, the Invader King dispatched her to the frontlines, alongside other female Grub Invaders destined for cannon fodder. Defying expectations, she emerged victorious from every battle throughout her career from the conquest of Europa to the campaign at Pluto. Driven by a fierce determination to prove her worth, Celuphoisa refused to meet the same forgotten fate as her fallen sisters. She wore her battle scars with pride, seeing them as testaments to her resilience, tactical expertise, and status as a warrior. She proudly reminisces about her greatest achievements: single-handedly slaughtering hundreds of Neptunians, leading a raid on the Plutonian stronghold and overpowering its leader, and pilfering advanced alien technology from Methone, while expertly defending herself.

Despite earning respect from female Invaders, she faced persistent disregard from her male counterparts. Witnessing the mistreatment of female Grub Invaders by their male peers, she chose to distance herself from the gender-based discrimination. Adopting a male identity and renaming herself Celaphios, she aimed to blend in with the males and escape the bias. While some remained skeptical, most accepted her after the change. Nevertheless, Celaphios continues to question whether transitioning from female to male was the optimal decision, particularly considering the ongoing discrimination against female Grub Invaders.

He was doing well for a long time, despite occasional bullying from some of the male Invaders. However, his four supportive brothers and close friends consistently had his back and he would put up a fierce fight to scare them off. Tragedy struck when all of Celaphios' brothers, including Kervosha, Ulaphormek, Bnahluzios, and Zubkoyhani, died miserably during the conquest of Cyllene. This incident slowly led him to question the Invaders' intentions and the purpose of their conquests across planets, dwarf planets, and moons. As Celaphios grappled with these doubts, some Invaders, including his closest friends, began to become disillusioned with achieving the Invader King's vision of the New World.

Unfortunately for the rebels, the Invader King had anticipated their move after receiving intel from one of his Heaven Globule heralds about a potential uprising. Celaphios' friends and fellow rebels were dispatched to invade Io, but it was a ruse. His most loyal subjects slaughtered them for sport, deeming them "ideal prey”, and used them as sacrifices to the Invader King to ensure the health of new Invaders. Celaphios was devastated by the news, yet he deliberately pushed aside his grief, knowing that showing sympathy could put him in danger of meeting the same fate.

During the war against the Martians and Monoeyes, he struggled to muster the willpower to fight. The lingering grief over the loss of his brothers and close friends still weighed heavily on him. Furthermore, upon discovering his deep-seated pain, the Invaders escalated their harassment, exploiting his emotional vulnerability and targeting his sexual orientation and gender identity, repeatedly misgendering him. Some even suspected him of being a potential traitor, leading a few to keep a close eye on him, further eroding his sense of security. Stripped of his ability to participate in battles—the one aspect that made him feel like a valuable member of Invader society—Celaphios felt utterly useless and isolated. He was allowed to closely observe current human activities and the evolution of society on Earth, which brought him a sense of comfort and helped him appreciate life beyond Venus and the Rlyathok.

Later in life, the Invader King grew tired of the Invader runts' idle ways. To keep them occupied, he assigned them to investigation missions in uncolonized Earth regions. These missions involved minor terraforming experiments, which were carefully reversed to avoid arousing Martian suspicion. Celaphios, feeling rejuvenated, eagerly followed orders and performed well on these Earth missions. During one mission, just before dawn, Celaphios became distracted by a cluster of sea holly and collided with a Martian. The unexpected encounter startled both beings, as they had been led to believe that each other's species were sworn enemies and a threat to their respective goals.

However, Celaphios decided to push aside the prejudice and introduce himself to the Martian, offering a gift of sea holly. The Martian, though hesitant, accepted the gesture and introduced himself as Pepawruvi. As Celaphios continued to visit Earth, they slowly formed a bond, keeping their unlikely friendship a closely guarded secret. Their conversations often revolved around past experiences, fascinating discoveries about Earth, and the ongoing history of humanity. Pepawruvi nurtured Celaphios' love for nature, emphasising the importance of maintaining natural equilibrium and criticising the environmental harm caused by colonialism and destructive human activities. Before departing to focus on nursing Martian infants and conducting scientific experiments in the Rugname, Pepawruvi gifted Celaphios a blue jewel as a symbol of their friendship.

Fun facts for Dilovar

He earned the alias "Beast of the Jungle" because of his ferocious nature when he goes berserk, acting like a fearsome monster. The name also reflects his deep familiarity with the jungle, where he feels an odd connection and behaves like a terrifying, almost childish version of Tarzan.

Although he looks up to Tequila as a role model for becoming the greatest warrior in both tactical strength and intellect, he struggles to treat him with kindness and respect. This difficulty arises from Tequila's disdain and cold disregard for him due to his biological connection to Hilde Garn. Whenever Tequila confronts him about it, he angrily responds while trying to maintain a semblance of calm composure. There are times when he engages in brutal scuffles to silence Tequila, but these are often quickly interrupted by members of Division 6 and Tequila's assigned team.

He's highly skilled at keeping his affiliation with the Ptolemaic Army and Phantom Strike a well-kept secret, employing clever tactics to divert attention and make people disinterested in uncovering the truth.

Fun facts for Sagan

She earned the alias "Explosive Vixen" because many describe her as a spirited and sexually charged woman with a fiery temper that's truly a force to be reckoned with. It's also a sophisticated way of describing her as an unpleasant and temperamental woman who's intensely desirable and embraces her sexuality. She also earned the alias "Princess of Jewels" due to her spoiled, wealthy lifestyle and her troops lovingly showering her with expensive jewellery.

She has super nerdy interests that she does her best to hide from everyone else. These interests include chess, which she excels at, reading political cartoons and knowing the history of each one, and watching hentai, girls with guns, and magical girl anime.

She loves the idea of sharing her body with multiple men because she sees herself as a woman with the freedom to use her body as she desires without being treated like property.

She can be a bit possessive of Logan, especially when he's romantically or sexually involved with others, heavily focused on them, and neglects to give her any attention. However, this possessiveness really gets on Logan's nerves, leading to heated bickering between him and Sagan. He often asks her to chill out and give him some space, and she instantly complies without asking any questions.

Fun facts for Logan

He earned the alias "Halcyon Lecher" because of his physical and mental charm, which is strangely peaceful. It also reflects how often he appears idyllically happy before battle and his sexual desire that rivals that of his twin half-sister. He also earned the alias "Prince of Booze" because of his affluent lifestyle and his reputation for making excellent moonshine, while subtly hinting at his struggles with alcoholism.

Logan enjoys teasing Sagan about her super nerdy interests, often claiming that she can't keep any secrets from him.

His emotion-exploring poetry is written like fantastical stories, featuring flowery language and elements drawn from Aztec, Mayan, and Incan beliefs.

He always becomes flustered and blushes like a lovestruck fool when people he romantically or sexually admires genuinely compliment him. He immediately acts like a shy boy struggling to process it as if he has never received a compliment in his entire life.

Fun facts for Celaphios

Like the other Invader Drones, he appears somewhat clumsy when he walks or turns around due to the odd proportions of his body. It becomes even more challenging when he has to run as the extra weight of his head makes it difficult to move smoothly without guidance.

After he finishes running, he pants heavily, his tongue hanging out like an exhausted dog. Whenever his adrenaline isn't surging from fear, he tires easily as running normally feels like he's jogging with two heavy weights.

When he tries his best to smile or grin, especially when it's well-meaning, it always comes across as awkward and a bit forced.

Despite being a carnivore, he has a massive sweet tooth and often struggles to resist the temptation of eating all the delicious sweets at someone's home or at a party.

Although he may not seem like the artsy type, he's surprisingly skilled at creating geometric, abstract art using only markers. Nadia and Zdravko encourage him to nurture his artistic side, but he often feels too embarrassed to pursue it because he doesn't believe his art is good, which leads him to rarely create abstract artworks. He occasionally does finger painting in his sketchbook when he's feeling extremely bored and decides to experiment with the paints he temporarily borrowed from Nadia.

:0000 I LOVE ALL OF THESE!

Me when your Ocs:

I do really have fun making Moodboards for your characters since it's a little challage in a good way! Thanks you for sending an ask!!

[nunezs-stuff]

Is it okay if I request a moodboard for my extraterrestrial OC Celaphios? His aesthetic is inspired by the emotions associated with colours, outer space, and being different from everybody else. The colour palette would feature more traditionally feminine shades (e.g. pink), complemented by browns and a couple of hues typically associated with masculinity (e.g. blue).

I hope you like this

Which characters have unique food-related quirks?

Marco: He takes his share of food only once and rarely goes for seconds unless he's starving.

Tarma: He takes large bites of his food and tends to down his drinks in just one or two gulps.

Eri: She frequently experiences loud belches or sudden sneezes shortly after finishing meals or consuming alcoholic beverages.

Fio: She always eats lentils on New Year's Day, believing they bring good luck and prosperity because they resemble coins. On the other hand, she avoids eating chicken on New Year's Day, as she thinks it's a symbol of bad luck. This is because chickens have a habit of scratching themselves backwards, which she views as a metaphor for moving backwards in life.

Trevor: He only starts eating at the table after observing others begin their meal.

Nadia: She often discusses her favourite food recipes, shares tips for achieving the perfect diet, and offers insights into what she's currently eating.

Ralf: Due to his belly being inflamed and bloody, he waits to eat until he's hungry to minimise the risk of vomiting or experiencing diarrhea shortly after.

Clark: When it comes to a handful of foods with layers, including burgers and wafer cookies, he separates the layers and eats each component individually.

Tequila: He whispers a quiet Catholic prayer before meals, expressing gratitude to God for the food he's about to enjoy.

Gimlet: He murmurs a brief Protestant prayer, asking God to bless his meal and pardon his tendency to make a mess.

Red Eye: As Ruoxi, she refuses to consume liquids without a solid accompaniment (e.g. crackers with soup); otherwise, she’ll regurgitate it and subsequently avoid eating it for several months. As Shufen, she quietly mumbles Buddhist mantras for 30 seconds before devouring her meals. Additionally, she eats her food in order from least favourite to most favourite, although she occasionally reverses this order.. As Liddy, she refuses to eat anything that’s been touched by someone else, fearing she might get germs and become sick.

General Morden: He opts for nutritious and homemade foods when in public, but privately indulges in junk food.

Doctor Amadeus: She prefers to drink all her beverages from wine glasses and avoids eating meat that has even a hint of pink inside, even if it's fully cooked.

Ptolemaios: He always finishes everything on his plate, even when he's full, because he hates the idea of wasting food.

Rootmars, Invader King, Pupipi, Avatar of Evil, Sol Dae Rokker, and Pocke: They have no food-related quirks worth noting

Walter: When he's finished eating and becomes absorbed in thought at the table, he often unintentionally taps his fork and knife together lightly.

Tyra: She usually waits until she's finished eating a meal before drinking a beverage unless she gets the hiccups or isn't enjoying her food.

Hyakutaro: Depending on what's on his plate, he eats his food from the least flavorful to the most flavorful.

Allen Jr.: He avoids meats with excessive chewy fat, finding it disgusting and believing it ruins the overall palatability of a meal.

Rumi: She always saves the bread for last because it fills her up very easily.

Madoka: She eats herring roe after each menstruation, believing it promotes fertility. During the winter solstice, she eats mandarins for good luck. However, she avoids peeling them in a spiral, believing this brings bad luck as it resembles a snake shedding its skin.

Sophia: She generally avoids using condiments, except for select foods like tacos and burgers.

Margaret: She lightly taps the food on her plate before eating to make sure it's not crispy and dry.

Leona: She prefers her alcoholic drinks lukewarm, finding icy cold temperatures unpleasant and difficult to swallow.

Heidern: He likes to separate his food by colour and ensure that everything is divided into equal portions.

Alisa Stewart: She'll eat foods that are near their expiration date but still safe to consume, even if it doesn't smell or taste quite right.

Nathalie Neo: She’ll have breakfast for dinner if she missed the meal earlier in the day or if she has a strong craving for it.

Roberto Nicola: He can't look at raw meat because it reminds him of the many instances he witnessed mutilated corpses and spilled gore on the battlefield.

President Marx: He uses utensils for every meal because he prefers to keep his hands and fingers clean.

Midori: She likes to dip her fries and bland chips into ice cream or milkshakes because of the sweet and salty combination.

Headcanons/fun facts for the Iron Eclipse cast vol. 9

What are the favourite animals and flowers/plants of the Iron Eclipse cast, and why?

Marco: His favourite animal is the domestic cat because he feels happy and safe when he's surrounded by them, enjoying every minute he spends playing and cuddling with them. His favourite flowers are the beardtongue, scarlet gilia, and arrowleaf balsamroot because he has a garden full of them at home, reminding him of his father's love for their natural beauty. His father would grow them in their backyard and tend to them after a long, boring day at work.

Tarma: His favorite animal is the carp, largely due to the Chinese legend of the Dragon Gate. According to the legend, a carp that successfully leaps over a waterfall with strong currents will transform into a powerful dragon. This myth resonates with him because he sees the carp as a symbol of overcoming great challenges and achieving significant transformation. His favourite flowers are the ones native to Hokkaido because they remind him of the saying "home is where the heart is". For him, his family and motherland will always hold the deepest affection and emotional pull.

Eri: Her favourite animal is the sparrow, which holds sentimental value as it reminds her of her second chance at redemption and a fulfilling life when she was accepted into the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. unit. While she doesn't have a favourite flower or plant, she does appreciate common sage for its blooming flowers and earthy, herbaceous scent.

Fio: Her favourite animals are the European bee-eater and bear, which she finds stunningly beautiful. She's also charmed by their shared fondness for eating bees. Additionally, she deeply admires bears for their fierce independence. Her favourite flowers are roses, Calla lilies, cyclamen, and carnations, which she finds exquisitely lovely. To her, these flowers embody the tender innocence and beauty of nature.

Trevor: His favourite animals are the Korean Jindo and golden pheasant, which he has tattooed on his upper back. He sees Korean Jindos as a connection to his South Korean heritage and values their loyalty and adorability as watchdogs. He finds the golden pheasant to be one of the most beautiful and brilliantly coloured birds, and thinks they're quite calm and friendly. His favourite flower is the azalea, which he admires for its simple beauty and the poignant reminder of life's transience reflected in its brief blooming period.

Nadia, Rootmars, Pupipi, Avatar of Evil, MS-Alice, Nayutaro, Pocke, Celaphios, Torquil, Priyanka, and Dezső: They love all flora and fauna equally

Ralf: His favourite animals are the wolf, turtle, and otter because they hold spiritual significance for him as his guardian animals, inspiring qualities such as loyalty, protectiveness, wisdom, and a fun-loving attitude. His favourite flower and plant are the marigold and sweetgrass, which he regards as symbols of community and human connection. They also remind him of the importance of honouring the dead and acknowledging Mother Earth's love and kindness respectively.

Clark: His favourite bird is the Canada jay, which he finds to be an adorable little thief. He also views them as a good omen, bringing good fortune when spotted in the morning. His favourite flower is the white magnolia, which holds immense personal significance for him as a symbol of loyalty.

Tequila: His favourite animal is the Swiss brassy ringlet, which he encountered on a hike through the rocky meadows of the European Alps and immediately fell in love with. Although he doesn't have a single favourite flower or plant, he has a fondness for poisonous blooms, fragrant plants, and what he calls "yellow mountain flowers", such as the snow buttercup and Alpine avens.

Gimlet: His favourite animals are sheep and cows, which he finds beautiful and simple, and views them as a symbol of a brighter future. This is largely due to a memory of stumbling upon a herd of them after the Arms Deal Barrage ended. His favourite flower is the moonflower because it reminds him of the full moon shining brightly during his peaceful bike ride in a city liberated and recovering from the ravages of war.

Red Eye: As Ruoxi, her favourite animals are the swan and frog, which she sees as fragile and longing for intimate connection, reflecting her own desires. Her favourite flower is the lotus, whose delicate beauty she believes shouldn’t be easily disregarded. As Shufen, she doesn't have a particular favourite among flora and fauna, instead harbouring a deep respect for all living things. As Liddy, she doesn't have a personal favourite animal, but she has a special affection for birds, admiring their innate beauty, instinctual adaptability, and freedom to live life unburdened by harsh judgement. Her favourite flowers are the tulip and poppy, viewing them as a sentimental connection to her Dutch heritage, and she finds them truly unforgettable.

General Morden: Although he doesn't have a specific favourite among flora and fauna, he has an affinity for woodland wildlife. It evokes a longing for simpler times, fills him with a sense of homely comfort, and reminds him to appreciate life's small joys.

Allen Jr.: He doesn’t have a favourite flora and fauna, but he does have a soft spot for parrots, viewing them as lovable goofballs.

Rumi: She doesn't have a favourite animal, but she prefers gentle ones because she finds dangerous animals to be frightening. Her favourite flowers are the peach blossom and Viola mandshurica, which she thinks are absolutely stunning.

Sophia: Her favourite animal is the largemouth bass because it reminds her of her love for fishing, even though she's not the best at it. She also finds the large mouth of her favourite bass species amusing, but she acknowledges its importance as a feeding advantage. She doesn't have a particular favourite flower or plant.

Margaret: She doesn't have a particular favourite animal. Her favourite flower is the orchid, particularly the Cattleya, which she finds breathtakingly beautiful.

Nathalie Neo: Her favourite animal is the long-eared owl, which she finds majestic yet surprisingly fluffy. Her favourite plant is the Welwitschia, which she encountered during a solo mission in the Namib desert.

Nanahyakumantaro, Abul Abbas, Wired, and Yohanes: It's unknown if they have a favourite type of flora and fauna

Happyakumantaro: He doesn't have a particular favourite animal. His favourite plant is the palm tree because it gives him pleasant, beachy vibes and always has a striking silhouette against beautiful sunsets.

Macba: He doesn't give a single care about any flora and fauna because they're the least of his worries, and he isn't particularly interested in entertaining the thought of having a favourite wildlife species.

Oghma: His favourite animal is the chameleon, and he finds their colour-changing ability to blend into their natural surroundings to be visually stunning and a remarkable evolutionary adaptation. His favourite plant is the Encephalartos woodii because he has always been fascinated by the unusual characteristics of cycads and is strangely moved by the solitary nature of this particular species.

Zoilo: His favourite animal is the Amazon river dolphin because he finds them to be surprisingly cute for such a chubby, intelligent species. His favourite flower is the Rafflesia arnoldii because he finds its potent scent, often compared to decaying flesh, to be strangely arousing.

Wysteria: Although she loves all animals equally and appreciates every type of flower, the primrose holds a special place in her heart. It reminds her of the serene cerulean lake near the Sparrowhawk Operations Base, which is her favourite place. The primrose is also a symbol of her renewed beginning and commitment to serving a more just cause, strengthened by a sense of belonging among like-minded individuals who accept her for who she is.

Logan: His favourite animals are the hummingbird and the butterfly, both of which he finds stunningly beautiful.

Headcanons/fun facts for the Iron Eclipse cast vol. 5

Besides engaging in hobbies and other relaxing activities, what does the Iron Eclipse cast do to calm down?

Marco: He either works on his latest software project or finds a secluded spot in nature to admire its beauty. Once he finds the perfect spot, he reflects on happier times, looks at the old photograph he still carries with him, and contemplates what his father would do in a difficult situation.

Eri, Doctor Amadeus, Heidern, President Marx, Midori, Hilde Garn, Pocke, Celaphios, Torquil, Harvie, Amilcare, and Yohanes: They have no relaxation techniques worth noting

Fio: She either bakes simple treats, fiddles with Peppino, hangs out with Tarma or practices breathing exercises.

Trevor: He either smokes cannabis and chews on a couple of edibles, quietly admires his knives or listens to the Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco: The Tides of Time soundtracks.

Nadia: She either makes detailed shopping lists, thinks about food or draws adorable, stylised animal doodles in her sketchbook.

Ralf: He either goes to the bar with friends and gets intoxicated, enthusiastically discusses his favourite action movies and anime shows with Clark or practices his close-quarters combat skills on trees. He occasionally watches baseball games and plays with the local children before telling them fun stories.

Headcanons/fun facts for the Iron Eclipse cast vol. 8

Which Iron Eclipse characters have someone they listen to above all others, and why?

Marco: He usually follows the advice of his friends and the orders from his superiors, but he always makes an exception for Tequila, whose extensive military experience, empathetic nature, and high intelligence command his respect. He's also always willing to listen to Sophia and Colonel Hart, whom he holds in high esteem as exceptional, down-to-earth combat instructors.

Tarma: The only people he'll listen to above everyone else are Marco, Fio, Tequila, and Clark because he recognizes their incredible intelligence and can tell when they're deadly serious about something.

Eri: She prefers to only take advice from Sophia, Marco, Fio, Tequila, Red Eye, and Hyakutaro because she believes they're humble, logical, morally grounded, and consistently effective in getting the job done.

Fio: She's willing to listen to anyone, but will assert herself if they're being overly protective, rudely bossy or if their orders or actions are morally reprehensible.

Trevor: The only people he'll listen to above everyone else are his good friends, Nadia, Walter, and Tyra, and people he views as role models and military experts deserving of respect, such as Marco, Ralf, and Tequila.

Nadia: She's open to listening to anyone, but sometimes disregards orders if she thinks they're overly flawed. She also values enjoyment and defies expectations if someone's negativity is spoiling the mood or if she simply doesn't feel like conforming.

Ralf: He’ll listen to anyone he views as family, but he most frequently seeks the counsel of Heidern, Leona, and Clark, whom he shares strong personal bonds with.

Clark: He listens to individuals he believes aren't full of themselves and have a level head, but he frequently seeks advice from Heidern, Leona, Ralf, Tequila, Marco, Fio, and Rumi.

Tequila: He'll listen to those he genuinely cares about and considers to be trustworthy allies.

Gimlet: Surprisingly, he's willing to listen to most people, especially during times of war or when he profoundly cares about them. However, he gives particular attention to the opinions of Tequila, Red Eye, Margaret, Hyakutaro, and Celaphios, whom he regards as family and whose trust he deeply values. He also listens to Alisa because he sees her as the love of his life, whom he's deeply loyal to, and he doesn't want to come across as a horrible person when interacting with her.

Red Eye: As Ruoxi, she’ll only listen to those she personally knows and trusts, and who meet her moral standards as good people. As Shufen, she shares a similar approach as Tequila, but she's willing to extend her trust to former enemies who have surrendered and demonstrate helpfulness and honesty. As Liddy, she's willing to listen to anyone who approaches her in a respectful and genuine manner.

General Morden: He's willing to listen to Sagan, Logan, and his soldiers because he genuinely cares about their well-being and wants the best for them.

Allen O’Neil: He'll listen to General Morden, Sagan, and Logan above everyone else because he acknowledges their authority and believes they're deserving of actual respect.

Doctor Amadeus: Although she has her own agenda and priorities, she's willing to listen to General Morden, Ptolemaios, and Oghma. She values their input and recognizes their willingness to help, and doesn't want to compromise her professional relationships with them.

Ptolemaios: The only people he'll listen to above everyone else are the Avatar of Evil, Doctor Amadeus, his deputies, and his most loyal cultists because they're the select few he trusts and holds in the highest esteem.

Walter: The only people he'll really listen to above everyone else are his Mama, two sisters, close friends, Roberto, Tyra, Marco, Tequila, and Hyakutaro because he views them as worthy of his trust and rarely questions their guidance.

Tyra: She'll only listen to her boyfriend, Walter, trusted superiors, and people she genuinely cherishes, such as close friends who aren't creepy.

Hyakutaro: He's open to listening to anyone who isn't wicked, but he's especially attentive to the advice of loved ones, trusted comrades, and close friends.

Allen Jr.: He'll listen to anyone as long as they're not morally reprehensible and don't make his blood boil.

Pupipi: She’ll only listen to her comrades and members of the Pipakhroz because they're highly trustworthy in her eyes, share the same vision of stopping Rootmars, and she knows they’ll always have her back.

Rumi: She only takes orders from trustworthy superiors, good friends, and Madoka because she respects their judgement and appreciates their willingness to listen to her thoughts and opinions.

Madoka: She'll listen to just about anyone, even if she vehemently disagrees with them. However, she has a soft spot for listening to Rumi's opinions because she truly values their sisterly bond.

Sophia and Margaret: They both only listen to the Chief of the Regular Army, Heidern, and the best special forces operatives, acknowledging their high ranks and important roles in defending the innocent from global threats.

Leona: She simply listens to anyone, but only if she genuinely trusts them and has made an effort to build a meaningful connection with them.

Alisa Stewart: She’ll only listen to orders given to her by the high command and people she personally finds to be cool, humble, and uniquely intelligent.

Nathalie Neo: She's willing to listen to only four people: the best Peregriners, Alisa, Ralf, and Eri. She values the advice she receives from Alisa and the best Peregriners, which help her in becoming the best independent fighter the Regular Army has ever seen. She values Ralf's opinion because she acknowledges his extensive military history and views him as the last connection she has to her mother. She always listens to Eri without question as she's trying very hard to impress her.

Roberto Nicola: He prefers to listen only to men he has befriended and worked with because of the immense trauma he has experienced at the hands of women. He has been making an effort to overcome his fear and is willing to listen to women he's personally familiar with, such as Tyra. However, he always listens to Leona and Fio, who are among his favourite people because they treat him with human dignity, earning his admiration for who they are.

President Marx: He's willing to listen to only two people: the Chief of the Regular Army and his half-brother, Oghma. He is keenly aware that the Chief of the Regular Army holds significant political power and could easily shut down his business if he chooses to intervene. Although his relationship with Oghma is complicated, he still values his half-brother's opinions, particularly when the matter is serious.

Midori and Pocke: They'll only listen to adults and friends they trust

MS-Alice: She's generally obedient and will follow instructions from almost anyone as long as disrespect isn't involved.

Abul Abbas: He'll only listen to General Morden, Sagan, and Logan because they're the only people in the Rebel Army who don't treat him as a lazy, cowardly, skirt-chasing loser.

Hilde Garn: The only people he'll listen to above everyone else are Ptolemaios, Macba, Wired, Zoilo, Anastasia, and Dilovar because he strongly believes they're the only ones worthy of his time.

Macba: Despite his strong autonomy and tendency to disregard others' opinions, he is willing to listen to Hilde Garn, whom he deeply respects as a military leader. He also values the advice of Wired and Zoilo, whom he regards as trusted and worthy allies in combat.

Wired: He's open to listening to anyone, but he primarily seeks out the opinions and thoughts of soldiers working in the Phantom Strike, Dilovar, Macba, and Hilde Garn for unknown reasons.

Oghma: He's open to listening to anyone who's open-minded and level-headed as long as they approach the conversation fearlessly and aren't trying to irritate him. He always makes time to listen to Doctor Amadeus, whom he shares a cordial relationship with. He acknowledges her authority as his superior and recognizes that openly defying her would be unwise, likely resulting in severe consequences.

Zoilo: The only people he'll listen to are Ptolemaios and Macba because he actually respects them as his superiors. He appreciates how they respect his opinions and don't oppose them. Moreover, their mere presence causes him to quickly become humbled.

Anastasia: She listens to anyone willing to engage in a civil conversation with her, and she isn't insulted for being a fervent worshipper of the Avatar of Evil and Sol Dae Rokker. However, she frequently seeks out the counsel of Ptolemaios and his cult, though her reasons for doing so remain a secret.

Wysteria: She listens to anyone as long as they treat her with human decency and don't mistreat her because of her origins as a bioweapon.

Sagan: She's willing to listen to only six people: General Morden, Allen O'Neil, Abul Abbas, Madoka, Logan, and her platoon of fanatic land troops. General Morden serves as her superior, distant biological cousin, and a reliable paternal figure. As such, disobeying his orders and disregarding his advice would feel like a betrayal. Allen O'Neil, Abul Abbas, and Madoka are three close coworkers and decent friends, greatly valuing their thoughts and opinions. Despite frequent disagreements and sibling banter with Logan, she's willing to consider his opinions, especially if they're reasonable and well-thought-out. She always listens to her platoon because she deeply cares for them and wants to ensure their needs are being met.

Logan: He’s willing to listen to only four people: General Morden, Sagan, Abul Abbas, and his most loyal soldiers in his platoon. He shares the same reason as Sagan for listening to General Morden and Abul Abbas, but he also does so to avoid making them feel ignored. Although he frequently clashes with Sagan, he's willing to listen to her when she needs emotional support or is being pragmatic. He also values the input of his most loyal soldiers, particularly when their insights greatly benefit his plans.

Celaphios: He’s willing to listen to anyone if they’re polite and respectful, regardless of his status as an Invader. However, he frequently listens to Red Eye, Gimlet, Rumi, Wysteria, and Pepawruvi because they serve as a surrogate family, and he considers them good friends, making it difficult for him to defy them.

Tarma: He joined the Courage to Heal program to improve his mental health, overcome his insecurities, and heal from the horrific trauma he sustained during the Great Modern War.

Eri: She initially joined the program but quickly withdrew after Tarma's arrival because she's still grappling with intense resentment towards him.

He joined the Courage to Heal program with confidence, yet he often finds himself serving as a dispenser of wisdom. However, he's now attempting to be more open about his personal issues, hoping to improve his current lifestyle and come to terms with his past trauma.

Gimlet: He recognizes the need for professional help to become a better person, but he's hesitant to seek to join the program. He fears that the therapeutic care offered by the Courage to Heal program may not be effective for him, and that others will judge and stigmatise him as an irredeemable junkie.

Red Eye: As Ruoxi, she hasn't participated in the Courage to Heal program, preferring to only share her problems with those closest to her. As Shufen and Liddy, they've officially joined the program, but their motivation is to acquire new skills in supporting others and intently listen to their stories and experiences.

Hyakutaro, Nayutaro, Issenmantaro, Happyakumantaro, Mikuláš, Amilcare, Juozapas, and Zdravko: They haven’t joined because they currently don’t see the need for professional mental health help, thanks to their supportive social network and effective coping mechanisms.

Allen Jr., Sophia, Heidern, Nanahyakumantaro, Wysteria, Ekaterini, and Souma: They haven’t joined the Courage to Heal program for unexplained reasons

Rumi: She's eager to join the Courage to Heal program, recognizing her need for genuine support in overcoming past trauma. However, she's hesitant to disclose her struggles with drug addiction, fearing judgement and the burden of her secrets on others.

Madoka: As the founder of the Courage to Heal program, she finds the struggles and wisdom shared by others to be deeply moving.

Margaret: She's hesitant to attend the Courage to Heal program, fearing she's not yet ready to confront her mental health struggles and worried that her experiences may be misjudged or stigmatised.

Nathalie Neo: Although she believes she can manage her emotional pain on her own, she has applied to the Courage to Heal program. She hopes it'll provide a healthy distraction from traumatic memories of warfare and offer a sense of community with fellow veterans.

Leona: She has applied to the Courage to Heal program, seeking to connect with others, develop social and support skills, and work through her struggles with suicidal ideation and lingering feelings of guilt related to her past.

Alisa Stewart: She's fully aware that she should probably attend the Courage to Heal program to improve her current lifestyle and let go of her intense anger. However, she's too entrenched in the belief that she's fine and capable of working through it on her own.

Roberto Nicola: He joined the Courage to Heal program to address his past trauma related to women, and while he still has a long way to go, he's grateful for the progress he's made so far.

Dilovar: He's interested in the Courage to Heal program, suspecting something might be mentally amiss. However, he doesn't want to easily compromise his loyalty to the Ptolemaic Army. He's also hesitant to reveal his deepest secrets to anyone, whether they're strangers or people he knows.

Celaphios: He joined the Courage to Heal program to support others and share his personal experiences with the primary goal of improving his own mental health and well-being.

Gyeong-Hui: Initially, she was hesitant to join the Courage to Heal program due to her trust issues and concerns about stigma and potential exploitation. However, with Thandolwethu's encouragement and noticing Dezső's participation, she decided to apply. It has been helping her come to terms with her past and become more open about her emotions.

Thandolwethu: Although she hasn't officially joined in the Courage to Heal program, she occasionally attends sessions to ensure everything runs smoothly and to support Madoka with planning engaging activities and discussion topics.

Harvie: He was among the first to join the Courage to Heal program, which has helped him develop greater empathy for others, overcome lingering challenges related to his language delay and speech impediment, and work through the guilt he feels over the death of Mavis.

Priyanka: She joined the Courage to Heal program with the goal of healing from the pain of being mistreated due to her transgender identity. Additionally, she sought to deepen her connections with her close friends and comrades by listening to their personal stories and struggles, and to support Madoka in planning fun, therapeutic activities.

Yohanes: Initially, he was hesitant about seeking professional mental health help, but ultimately decided to apply, motivated in part by his desire to support Priyanka. He also hoped to address his personal struggles, particularly to improve his decision-making skills.

Dezső: He applied to the Courage to Heal program, hoping it would provide a supportive and engaging environment to help him navigate his difficult emotions and overcome his trauma. However, he only attends sessions when he's in need of emotional support and only if Gyeong-Hui is willing to accompany him.

Too all of them:

What one thing you like about yourself?

"I would say... uhh, my q-quick mental calculation," Marco responds with a stoic, cautious look on his face.

"Hmm, maybe my love of motorcycles?" Tarma calmly replies.

"Being able to kickbox the life out of my enemies," Eri says with a scoff, slightly nodding to herself as she cracks her knuckles. "I hate missing out on that."

"My ge-generosity..." Fio meekly answers, her eyes cast downward. "I l-love baking... uhm, sweet goodies for m-m-my comrades."

"My security programming and hacking skills I guess," Trevor says with an awkward chuckle, brushing his bang slightly away from his face. "I wanna be as flippin' great with computers as Marco someday. He's a computer expert, and I really respect that!"

"I'm torn between my awesome marksmanship skills and my fashion knowledge," Nadia says, pouting adorably as she places her hands on her hips.

"How I'm a melee pro!" Ralf confidently exclaims, flashing a toothy grin and giving a thumbs up.

"I don't see the point in boasting..." Clark mutters, crossing his arms with an aloof expression. "However, if you insist on an answer, I suppose I'd choose my sunglasses."

"I'd go with my wisdom, but that's not very exciting. Uhmm... How about my gourmet grilling?" Tequila gruffly responds, accompanied by a sarcastic chuckle.

"The satisfaction I get from taking down a dangerous motherfucker," Gimlet replies with a dismissive snort.

"Winning competitions by being the first to complete a mission," Red Eye responds with an air of self-assured respect.

"Well, there are a few things I appreciate about myself. If I had to choose one, it would be my devotion to my men. They're like family to me. I care deeply about them, but I'm not afraid to take charge and set things straight when necessary," General Morden explains, exuding confidence and dignity.

"Being a devoted family man, I love my wife and children," Allen O'Neil says with a sense of pride, briefly laughing to himself. "They're what keep me alive!"

"How I bravely push against the limitations and ethics of anatomy and science," Doctor Amadeus begins, her tone cold and resolute. "To satisfy my ambition and scientific curiosity, I must face adversity with courage. Nothing will stand in my way."

"Oh how I deeply enjoy the power I feel when everything is in my control," Ptolemaios says, his hand tightening into a fist as a subtle smirk plays on his lips.

"Successfully completing my duties as the Queen of Mars and the guardian mastermind of my greatest creation… the Pipomarzu are like my gorgeous children!" Rootmars exclaims, her voice filled with motherly affection. "I admire their faithfulness and familial love."

"The fine pleasure I feel when conquering new territory," the Invader King answers, his voice laced with hubris and callous disdain.

"I like the chain me older half-sis gave me on me birthday," Walter responds, his prominent Australian accent evident as he scratches the back of his head.

"I'm a good makeup artist! I definitely have that going for me," Tyra replies, sounding reserved but appearing friendly.

"My hair," Hyakutaro answers with a light-hearted chuckle. "I gotta keep it maintained or things will get wild!"

"Effortlessly killing off my enemies like lil' piggies ready for the slaughterhouse," Dilovar responds, his lips spreading into a wide, sadistic grin as he giggles with unsettling excitement.

Celaphios opens his sketchbook, flips to a random page, and scribbles something with an orange marker. He then shows what he's written: "Being able to get people I'm comfortable with to give me pets."

"How good I am at singing traditional Scottish songs!" Torquil exclaims, a beaming smile spreading across his face.

"Uhmm... I like m-my c-cro-crocheting... I-I guess," Guilherme shyly responds, his hands rubbing together anxiously.

"Having friends," Ferdinand seriously answers, shrugging slightly as he takes a sip from his open can of grape soda.
