i’m fixiated on the echinoderms so . I have a fewwwww questions about them (feel free to skip some of these since they might delve deep into some lore stuff that might not be revealed yet OR if there isn’t an exact answer)
how did they all originally meet?
2. did each one of them kind of just. fall out of touch with one another once hairon died?
3. did the other two (quillon and bascon) react to hairon dying aswell ?
4. did hairon and cincon do rlly silly stuff together before hairon died . like idk frolic in the fields together (/silly)
5. how were the others like in the past (before hairon died and perhaps before suhkjot)?
6. how does cincon view the mutants ? does she view them with fear or with dread/guilt?
also. sorry if im rambling a lot im just genuinely invested in this little group of animals from one of the games i adore A lot .
Alright, let's see here...
You know, that's actually a good question and one I may want to explore later. Wouldn't be surprised if they were all creatures from a single unknown island.
Hairon's death certainly worsened things, but Sukhjot was also part of it. After being freed from its mental control, I suppose they all kind of had different goals in mind; Quillon's desire to keep Sukhjot sealed, Hairon's desire to make up for the Sukhjot incident and Bascon just wasting away at arenas are all very different goals.
Without a doubt. If Quillon wasn't a Woeful Urchin before, he certainly became one by then. Bascon probably became even more lost in fighting.
Well, they're both pretty dedicated to their respective duties... I'm not sure I can say in good faith they did a lot of silly stuff. The Sukhjot incident especially made them very unlikely to engage in nonsense.
That being said, I'd imagine they'd be a lot looser before the Sukhjot incident - the tragedies and trauma they went through really exaggerated a lot of their worse traits. Quillon was probably always a bit shy, Hairon was always on the more serious side - albeit more of a positive kind of serious - Cincon... was probably more visibly a nerd, maybe with some social awkwardness but a desire to do good - and Bascon enjoyed fighting, it just wasn't a coping mechanism at the time.
Her reaction to them was largely horror - that someone that she thought she could trust performed such terrible acts. She's not too knowledgeable on what happened to most of the Morphed after she was shown them - the whole thing was covered up - but she does hope they somehow got help or that they're doing well, and it still kind of haunts her from time to time. She does actually still have contact with Facsimile - he acts as kind of a bodyguard of sorts for Viendrome.
Whew. That was a lot, but it certainly helped myself develop them in my mind. I enjoyed thinking about and answering these!
