I don't know what king candy would be more focused on if he met my dulcisregnum ocs, the current theming of the dorm? The fact that the trio are humanoid cybugs or the fact that they carry the name "Von Schweetz".
I listen to ONE Kyary Pamyu Pamyu song and this is where I am 30 minutes later (trivia under the cut)
When it comes to the atmosphere naturally th dorm has a “candyland” feel to it
Since the dorm is made of sweets (mostly some some limitations and magic added) littering is heavily frowned upon.
If a student ends up eating the candy, there are many special magical side effects (think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) that will encourage them to NEVER pull that shit again (Dorm leader’s words, best to not fool around and find out).
Things like water appear thanks to general magic.
The dorm smells like a literal Dairy Queen and the air actually tastes sweet.
Unlike other dorms Dulcisregnum requires magic to change the tracks, meaning the entire dorm can switch looks/climate for the sake of track variety ::3.
Since Vincent is the most magically skilled in the dorm she is the one who is in charge of changing the dorm layout while Temperence makes sure Vincent doesn’t fuck up and accidentally magically kick all the students out of the dorm….again
so far, the dorm has taken on around five different looks; The default track that mimics sugar rush, an ice cream mountain themed track, a chocolate waterfall themed track, a rainbow taffy themed track that goes through cotton candy clouds and a konpeito track that makes the dorm look like it's set in outer space. (More can always be added)
Out of all the dorms Dulcisregnum is the second most dangerous not only due to the track changes but also the general nature of the candy landscape (double stripe branches in the candy cane forest causing students to fall and get hurt, taffy swamps that nearly calcify unlucky ones who fall in and the dreaded nesquik sand).
^Crowley claims no one has died in Dulcisregnum but that doesn’t explain why the laffy taffy vines have a mind of their own.
After races the dorm members can relax at a relaxing all-purpose cafe in the castle grounds (other dorm students are welcome but Temperence doesn’t advertise it as much).
The dorm has a hidden factory where all the karts are built, if you get on Temp’s good side, he could show you around and possibly let you build your own kart.
There are 25 karts for the first years (they naturally take turns) and 50 karts for the second years. The third years all get their own specialized kart.
The races that are held in a general event are divided into seven categories: 1st year race, 2nd year race, 3rd year race, duo team races,item mania,battles and vehicular sports.
The first 3 races are pretty much self explanatory, duo team races have students pair up from whatever year to race as a team on special karts made for two people.
^Item mania is when the entire track is LITTERED with item sugar cubes ready to either help you or deter other racers.
^Battles are basically when all racers are sorted into two teams and either have to collect the most amount of gum drops on the course or survive with a limited amount of candles on the back of their kart before the timer ends (think Mario kart wii battles).
When it comes to entertainment for the racing events Temp usually hires pop groups or artists from the Glace Duchy to give said artist more notoriety since the events are live streamed.
Currently the dorms magicam account (co-managed by Vincent and Terrence) has over 500K followers.
Thanks to said live streams Temp has been able to get sponsors to help fund the racing events (did you REALLY think CROWLEY was giving this dorm any money?).
Thanks to said sponsors Temp has been working hard to form a racing team out of NRC that can allow students from the dorm to showcase their skills among actual racers at actual events.
So with a bit of feedback from my mutual @absolutepokemontrash
( I will post her version once I get permission) I decided to redesign Temperence to look more akin to king candy and honestly this was the best design change i could of ever made. I'm excited to redesign the chibi's.
