Finally got around to drawing/outlining this idea i had forever ago!

I’m taking this as a good sign and that maybe these are ready to be transplanted into the ground. This bee was giving this Marang sapling some serious love. It’s like the most gentle hug and cuddle.

Heroes

As promised here's your explanation on Heroes!

I suppose I'll start from the beginning.

Ages ago when ToL first started the Hero project, he figured the consequences of having the Hero's not having any of the physical traits of their caretakers. In both cases of the caretaker rejecting them and severing their connections, or the Heroes feeling out of place where they were.

So in order to prevent that, ToL made it so when the Heroes spawned and bonded with their caretakers, they'd at least inherit one or both traits of said Caretaker including Color and Shape.

Once spawned, the Heroes are originally blind as they are in what the Flower kind would call 'sapling stage' where they tend to explore in their own separate ways depending on their element, species, and last but not least Personality.

For example since Spades is an Ocean Hero, and thereby in extention, a mer. They use their teeth to explore the area around them. Though when they get older, they'll grow out of this phase as Biting isn't exactly friendly.

(Since I know people will ask)

Cyan, when he spawned was also blind, although he rarely acted like it. He had a kind of echologation mixed in with the habit of headbutting everything in sight

Yes, that animation where he hit Blixer square in the face is what actually happened

Pixel on the other hand......well.....Let's just say Pixel wasn't really in the best health.

You see, (and this Is pretty important) when Pixel was originally found, she was cracked. So when she spawned, she was very sickly as she grew. So instead of starting her training right away, they had to hold off until ToL gave them the all clear.

Cyan still treats them like a fradigal snowflake that can't fight though...

----

Enough about that! Moving on. The Heroes are naturally equipped to cure any corrupts or at the very least calm them all down to a stable point so they can adjust and live their lives again.

ToL, not too long after he first met the Red Lady (the source of the corruption. They're married your honor) ToL managed to come up with a way so RL didn't corrupt every single thing she touched. Consider it his gift to show her he was interested in her lol.

And with that, since RL can't really go up on land for too long, ToL made the Heroes to scower the island to fix the corruption issue.

Heroes and corruption

Yes, Heroes can be corrupted.

Shocking and worrying, yes I know. But it all depends if they want to be, or if they're being controlled.

You see if they want to be, the corruption will effect them like any normal corruption. But if they don't want to, there's a split second time frame where it's POSSIBLE but definitely not likely for something to take control. If they WERE tho, they'd be VERY hostile, as they'd be angry that something was controlling them.

---

Oh also they inherit their weapons from their family and need trainers so that they know how to properly use them. And I'm pretty sure that's about it!

(When Marang enters the picture, she'll nuzzle everything, so that's adorable)

Marang

A Filipino fruit that smells like gasoline and tastes like pears, jackfruit, and pineapple.

You can’t walk far through the streets of Manila without seeing what looks like the hide of a dried-out hedgehog on the side of the road. These are the remnants of a fruit known as the marang, which grows throughout the Philippines and parts of Borneo.

Unlike its more popular counterparts in the Artocarpus genus—namely breadfruit and jackfruit—marang has an odor that will funk up a room the same way that durian does. The scent is something like gasoline, but don’t let that deter you; the sticky white flesh inside tastes like a fruit cup.

A wide assortment of different fruit flavors come together with every mouthful, including softened pears, berries, banana, jackfruit, and pineapple. Some fans also consider the aroma of gasoline to be addictive, akin to the pleasure of eating a stinky cheese.

After feasting on one of these large fruits, the meal is not over; the seeds can be roasted or boiled as a snack and taste a little bit like potatoes and chestnuts.

It’s not for everyone, but for those who love jackfruit but aren’t quite ready to tackle a durian yet, the marang is a tasty middle ground.
