Big fan of them being called a brains and brawn duo
Avery is skilled at PVP and has good reflexes, overall very courageous and headstrong. I dont like the notion that he's completely clueless or stupid, I imagine he's just impulsive and acts/speaks before fully thinking things through
Derlord, as we know, is very knowledgeable and observant. I imagine he's okay at combat, definitely knows alot of strategies but executing them is a different story. (Knowledge doesn't equal experience lol). Can't land a water bucket clutch for shit probably
Buff Avery propaganda
Derlord's pupils can dilate
Avery's knuckles are bruised from punching through the netherite block (and probably from combat/pvp in general)
Derlord's eyes were purple before their first encounter with the KIY
I looove drawing armor, so ofc I drew all the layers for Der's design
really fond of humans just from an appearance standpoint. the long legs. the manes of hair that can come in practically any colour and texture. those crazy high-contrast eyes with the white scleras and colourful irises. the fingers being so much longer than the toes. there's a lot to love. solid 10/10 animal species
it's clunkier, but probably 85% of the things labeled "male" and "female" can just be described with the anatomical name of the relevant part. we don't need to say "female genitals" (or worse, "afab genitals") when we can simply specify "natal vagina" or "uterus" or "neovagina" or "vulva" or anything else that's relevant. i'm tired.
So in the previous comic I mentioned that Ghost can equip Hornet's mementos like charms, and gains new skills:
Grey Memento: Increases their nail length, while nail arts now do Pocket Sand. Synergizes with Longnail and Mark of Pride to turn their nail into a Final Fantasy weapon.
Surface Memento: Significantly increases their jump and double jump distance. (They use it to express their clinginess for their sister.)
Hero's Memento: Hornet doesn't let them play with it, so we may never know.
Guardian's Memento: Pollen AOE attack similar to Spore Shroom; however, activates with Abyss Shriek rather than Focus (a la Nyleth's Pollen Shriek). Might also let them talk to flowers?
Hunter's Memento: Covers them in a thin layer of slime that prevents grappling from enemies like Muckroaches. Synergizes to create a new Shape of Unn variant which also moves faster than the default. (Also instills them with the Cain Instinct, RIP Lace.)
Sprintmaster Memento: Increases movement speed nearly identically to the Sprintmaster Charm. Synergizes with the Sprintmaster and Dashmaster Charms for a quick getaway from an irate sister.
Craw Memento: No magical effect, but grants them impunity when committing Bird Crimes. (They disappear for 36 hours, and reemerge the newly crowned King of Craws. Hornet is concerned they did a coup, but they're not telling.)

My prof was like 'yeah there was this experiment where they like made a casino for rats with mini slot machines n everything and made those rats into gambling addicts it was so cool' n i looked up the article n hes the lead fucking researcher
I'll do you one better op, i was taking an american history class of the early 1990s to 2000s and upon our final, which only took two hours max (the class was 3) our professor said we could watch some americana stuff if we needed to wait for more finals in the building (i did). The classroom was a huge lecture hall with a projector. He puts on stuff about cryptids, which, that's a surprise but hey, nice light mood for a sobering look at what amounted to pre and post 9/11 america. And when the man on the video introduced the world expert on the jersey devil who do we see grinning at the camera, giant on the projector, but our professor. We turn to see him making the exact same face. We went wild.
