wow! bugs!

i don’t know how i wound up with ten... i’ll probably end up with more later. anywho i won’t be getting into it too heavily since this is unprompted buut here we go. [letter] classifications determine whether or not they are traveling together with any listed bug/s. i worked backwards and got tired again so .

[A] obligatory vessel | mess (they/it) initially a klutz, now a decent kiddo.

hello meet their found family. where they’d deliberately lost one of their horns as they were originally a vessel that would never have made it anyways because overthinking-anxiety-pressure and managed to escape... sometime somewhere. met oss first, then uff/claws who were traveling together. now more confident and has several things to signify their growth like a horn (crafted by the other three, moss/bandages/some random tooth(?) they found around or won from a hunt). insists on contact when allowed.

[A] moth | uff (they/them) one of those energetic sorts! you’d think them a bee almost but. no

goes around trying to remember those that can’t be buried (as in, wanting to know another bug as best as they can whether or not that means trying to see their limits in an annoying fashion... generally wanting reactions. even something like refusing to divulge information is notable to them). also just vibing, really! used to wield four nails for defense, lost one fighting oss (long story not really), the other worn down to time. the other two are holstered behind their back! they’re short-nails, kind of like daggers. lantern always hooked on person. rarely in flight, uses scales as part of their respect ritual sometimes.

[A] mosskin | oss or boss (he/him) reanimated by lifeblood. tired guy.

somehow became mess’s father figure, almost. romantic partners with uff. also (short story not really) had been affected by infection, not to the point of losing himself entirely as he did ask them to cut him down, but he was only rendered to a point of lethal unconsciousness where that moth proceeded to do the awkward thing that is “Maybe. If I can simply juste... givvem lifeblood...!” and never stuck around properly enough to see what happened. guy got a new arm out of brambles (thorns retractable) and now can use both nail and shield like some of his kin! still prefers nail ultimately though; it’s what he was used to. (not entirely certain why he’d been stunted before, missing a good bit of his right antennae and a whole left arm...)

[A] mantis warrior | claws (she/her) trying to better her skills, left the village after loss of a friend.

summary: tsundere. felt her friend had fallen due to her inadequacy and had set out to redeem herself in some fashion with lots of guilt on her shoulders (granted common warrior mantids don’t. have shoulders but--) with the intent of refining her skills or simply pitting herself against a traitor and calling it done but. eventually met uff (who named her; actually. uff named everyone in this group) who’d managed to persuade her to Not do that after engaging in a nice spar. that’s the bad gist of that. (her wings had been damaged even before they grew useless, though.)

[B] trapdoor spider | res or mend (she/her) wants to find the ideal sleep/comfort zone.

rend’s more expressive older sister. wanderer on the basis of finding new materials that would be great for sleeping or general wear. very insistent on that, as well as a general partner (not romantic necessarily) for cuddling because she’s taken to the name res from “rest” (and stressed) and oh man would resting be so nice. not normally in one place, often makes things to leave them there even without deconstructing it. has met the individuals listed in group [A]. (fun to see how long it takes for her to make mess settle down. sink into uff’s fluff or oss’s moss. what hammock will get claws to finally lie in.)

[B] trapdoor spider | rend (he/him) a tinkerer, almost.

mend’s more quiet younger brother; he’s the more responsible one. wandering more on wanting to know the taste of other things (albeit they all almost taste the same nowadays, infection and all). makes use of all materials when hunting things. double-ended scythe is fashioned from the claws of a traitor warrior and sinew/Somethings. encountered a lifeseed at one point and used it as bait for his hunts... but eventually grew a certain fondness towards it and would slowly use other substitutes. (he never gives it a name though. that’s when it’d be bad.)

the spider duo doesn’t normally travel together; they do their own thing, actually. but their paths always cross and they always enjoy catching up with each other (even if it ends up with rend being more stressed/exhausted to hear the dangers his sister put herself in. also see: different outfits for his tiny companion.)

[C] bedbug | bub (she/they) she, uh. she’s my sona. yeah. only because a friend wanted me to make one.

she exists, somehow, and is a wanderer that’s visiting more so out of curiosity to explore the ruins of hallownest. a very strange sightseeing journey really. tends to admire and doodle down environments often (and... other bugs, if not heavily bastardized). carries around vials of lifeblood and infection as they fascinate her and also suffice as paint/snacks when necessary as it isn’t often she hunts for herself. (thus normally more flat than full, for a bedbug.) yeah good luck trying to stop her for conversation she’s already running away buddy

[D] soul warrior | ver (he/they) unofficially assigned sati’s escort. not the most talkative sort.

it would be a bit awkward to leave fellow scholars alone in their pursuit of research, so... he tagged along sati (with others, of course; they’re not quite sure where their fellow brothers and sisters of the sanctum went though. half lie. he had to fell some of them as they turned infected to a point where attempts to reason would be in vain). easily confused and intrigued. though with own ideas, tends to keep them to self even when encouraged and prefers to speak through nail.

...a citizen (friend) once gave him a tattered ribbon as thanks, and he still has that twisted around the handle of his pin-nail.

[D] soul twister | sati (they/them) accidentally meditated for a bit too long in an area where they began to be, uh. crystallized.

they’d heard that crystals made it easier to focus, once. fantastic. their group was meant to inspect and experiment. didn’t go so hot, of course, but it made the bond between ver and sati far stronger as a result. they usually speak their thoughts aloud without expecting much in reply (though they are always happy to entertain discussions) and is a bit inquisitive. also skeptical.

with regard to spells and abilities, they’ve taken a more... laser-y, variant. where if they channeled soul or a bit of their will, they can fire some out of either their eye or palms. there’s a bit more but. i am lazy so i am moving on.

the timeline of them departing from the sanctum was before the experiments carried out to any drastic extent (and they only learned of what happened quite... later, much later, when they found things and simply just. didn’t.)

anywho; they are together but neither of them are open about it, not because they’re ashamed or anything as they’ll say so if someone asks, but it’s just. not in their personal languages to do that. that’s why if you squint, the name they have when paired together is veritas where ”truth is mighty and will prevail” (or just simply truth in general).

the attached image has old/initial concepts but you get the point ^^

[E] snail shaman | fule (they/any) has a “kufufufu” laugh.

frequently seen at colosseum. just a friend, simply! they used to travel alongside a much tinier snail, but that one managed to make a mound somewhere so that was that (and sometimes they visit! y’know, as one does). at first they’d been drawn to all the amounts of soul, but then they found the whole concept of “fool” and “glory” amusing enough to serve as a different reason for staying. well. that, and practicing spells.

they’re a pretty capable shaman and sacrifices power most of the times in order to increase spell-casting speed. any damage they sustain they can usually heal off afterwards (though hey, there’s a spring, but even that makes them unfathomably sleepy). their variation of a shield is more of a ward/to deter others from running through it. when all things are said and done though, they did fashion their staff to be applicable as a spear, so... fun times ahead. their former name may have been pira (from spiral). they just. picked up the name “fule” because it sounded close enough to “fool.”

personality-wise, they take amusement in lots of things. it’s a mystery as to what they’re actually like ‘cause. who knows. not me! all armor-pieces are detachable, and the visor is retractable. shell took its traits the longer they’d stayed.

thaat’s it. i’m not going to proof, ‘cause it’d be easier for me to just do that in a document if i ever decided to expand on them properly. you can ask me about them if you want but i’d immediately implode so LOL thanks for reading! <3
