Do yoy have a favorite Oc? If so, who and why?

I don't think we can single out a favorite character overall as we love all of them so much, buuuuuut

The one we have the most fun drawing is Wynnea. We have the muscle memory for drawing Shelleye so many times and Wynnea is like Shelleye except we don't have to worry about lineart or consistency, and we can push him to even more extreme poses.

The "true" form of Wynnea is so adorable, it's always fun to draw and we really should do it more.

As for the most fun character to write, this is harder to answer. The character who is our favorite will be the character we are writing at the given moment.

I find that Satchel is easier to write compared to other characters. It's easy to get in the "groove" when planning stories for him. I think this is because he was the first character in CSE to have a big facade.

There were a bunch of characters that existed before him but none of them hid their identity in the same way that Satchel does. Hernesta, both in the early days and currently, lies to cover up her intentions but her personality, beliefs and actions are genuine. The same goes with most of the characters who have a lie to tell themselves. Satchel on the other hand lies to himself, to others and most importantly, to the audience.

Cnetizens: Why the thousand-year-old stone statues at the Northern Song Mausoleums aren’t covered with glass enclosures.

The director of the Cultural Relics Bureau replies: "They’ve stood here largely intact for over a millennium. Why add extra barriers?"

Visitors worry wind, rain and sunlight in the farmland will wear them down. The director explains:

Glass covers speed up decay—it’s like locking the statues in a sauna. Trapped heat and moisture create sharp temperature shifts. Salt crystals inside the stone expand and crack the carvings far faster than open-air exposure.

These statues blend naturally with the farmland landscape. Glass barriers would destroy the sense of scale and historical atmosphere.

When first built, the mausoleum complex was a restricted royal compound ringed by walls, palaces and pine trees—no farmland at all. After the Song fell, protection systems collapsed. Wars and weather destroyed buildings. Local residents gradually dismantled the abandoned structures, reusing timber and bricks in nearby villages.

By the Ming and Qing dynasties, villagers turned the empty grounds into farmland, leaving stone figures scattered amid crops.

Few people damaged the statues for three reasons: each weighs several tons and is impossible to move; folk belief held that anyone who damaged the guardian statues would be cursed with misfortune; every later dynasty passed laws punishing those who vandalized former imperial mausoleums.

Once an exclusive imperial burial ground, now ordinary farmland—this shift tells the story of history. Glass covers would only be unnecessary. As an old Chinese poem puts it: 旧时王谢堂前燕，飞入寻常百姓家

The swallows that were wont to grace the halls of Wang and Xie, Now seek the humble roofs of common men.

Do you have any characters intros for CSE??? I would loveee to see them :)

We have some short infocards here on tumblr that can be found in the pinned post directory.

For easy access in-depth info, we've been adding a lot of things to CharacterHub (an OC storage website). We're working on making CSE its own wiki site but for now CharacterHub is the go-to for lore.

We have the CSE characters up on ArtFight as well.
