1. Basic information
The boy’s name, as you can all see, is Chalad Akamai and he’s a bronzeblood, Chalad meaning “clever” in Thai and Akamai meaning “wisdom” in Hawaiian. I always choose my ocs’ names based on their main traits, as you will see pretty soon why exactly i have chosen these words for him!
So after creating Kevala, i needed to make a troll that would be much kinder, softer - basically i needed a sweetheart who would know Kevala well and still be his matesprit at the same time, which sounded impossible to me at first, but then i came up with Chalad and everything seemed logical all of a sudden. I like to think he’s the only sane one in this whole session because let’s be real here, we need more mentally stable ocs. Good-natured and kind-hearted ocs. He’s been raised to be a softie by his lusus, owldad, an exceptionally wise creature who is against violence. He’s the size of a normal owl with some bronze-coloured feathers here and there and he’s pretty majestic tbh.
Chalad lives in a medium-sized hive from a nice and quiet neighbourhood and he loves it. He’s never really been a fan of noise, and the silenceis even more convenient since many other lusii come to visit his neighbourhood every once in a while - which is how he became fascinated by them and the planet in general. He didn’t really think about the pros of building his hive there as a wriggler but he’s glad things turned out the way they did.
2. Personality, traits etc.
Chalad isn’t difficult to understand at all. Although a bit shy, once you get to know him and become his friend (which isn’t that hard because he’s emotionally starved), he would literally die for you. I mean it, he wouldn’t even hesitate. Lord knows that if he didn’t have his friends by his side to put some damn sense into him, he would have already died a few times just out of kindness. Which means he’s selfless, something that doesn’t do him that much good but he’s very proud of.
He likes being there for people (even though most may not deserve it), because he knows that if the roles were reversed, he would have liked to have someone to help him go through stuff. Growing up shy, he’s never had that many friends to begin with, which made him feel lonely, so he knows best what’s like to have no one. He’s not salty about it though, god no, he’d rather die.
As willing as he is to help people out with their problems, if they don’t want him there then he gets the hint and won’t bother them again in the future. Chalad would still worry for them, of course, but he would respect their wish and boundaries, because he’s respectful alright. He’s a considerate guy who would always put other people’s needs above his own. He also tends to have great expectations and most of the time he ends up being disappointed.
The main reason for being like this has already been mentioned, but i feel like emphasizing it a bit - he’s lonely. Nothing else brings him more joy than being useful to a person in need and he lowkey feels like a hero afterwards. And trust me, seeing him smile in content would light up anyone’s, so please handle him with great care!! Lord knows he deserves it.
Now let’s talk a bit about his past, shall we? Chalad used to be (and still is) fascinated by different types of lusii, but also by clouds! He would lay on the ground outside his hive and just watch the clouds, their various shapes for hours and would not get bored in the slightest. He considers it to be a very efficient way of clearing your head and putting your thoughts in order, not to mention it’s also a great stress relief. When he’s not studying about Alternia’s weird fauna he’s looking at the sky, feeling lucky he’s still alive and well to enjoy simple things as this.
3. Additional information about Sburb
Easily excited by most things, when Chalad first heard about this game he wasted no time in making sure he plays it. So of course, he is the very first who enters the game. He took things seriously right from the beginning, maybe too seriously, because although being a Rogue of Light gave him the ability of sharing his knowledge with others, he may have chosen too quickly (out of urgency, probably) who to trust with important intel (because apparently they weren’t exactly trustworthy), which resulted in him being stabbed to death. But don’t worry guys, because his matesprit Kevala was nearby to bring him to his quest bed!! that was a close one guys
His medium is the Land of Shadows and Fright, and i imagine his mission to be helping the consorts get rid of the sneaky shadows of whatever creatures seem to haunt the medium. The shadows are so terrifying that the consorts can’t even sleep without the dreadful feeling that they’re constantly being watched. Chalad would have to share his knowledge about the creatures’ weaknesses with the consorts in order to help them, and at last to cast a light so strong that it surrounds the whole medium, completely getting rid of the shadows.
aaaand this is all i have to say about this sweetheart! okay i lied, i would talk about Chalad for HOURS but it’s past midnight and i have school tomorrow ^^; but i really hope you enjoyed reading about him and you’re now free to interact with him! see y’all in the next post (which will hopefully not be only after another 2 months lmao)

hello world
y’all might wonder what this post is about, but fear not, fellas, you’ll find out soon enough! i figured it was finally time to show some signs of life on this blog and i wanna introduce myself, so here we go!
i’m the one and only mod Ral, a gal that is lucky enough to have mod Leo as a moirail! i’m gonna be in the last year of highschool once school starts (y’all better pray for me-) and i like indulging myself in writing and roleplaying whenever i get the chance!
i consider myself to be an easygoing kind of person with many interests! my tastes in music, tv shows and movies (and everything else really) are all over the place so if you have any suggestions don’t be afraid to tell me all about them! i’ll be sure to check them out when i’m free!
recently i began taking driving lessons and doing my holidays homework, but of course procrastination hits me hard (senioritis at its best?), so i’ll try my hardest to spend my time having fun with you all on this blog! oh and if you wanna know more about me or mod Leo, the ask box is open :)
psst check out my mainblog @rising-lower and my sideblog @cravingsleep for more content from yours truly
Yo, Mod Leo taking over this part of your post
Oh uhm that’s a nice post you have here dear moirail, but I’d say you’re not talking enough about how you are, so fear not, dear fellas (we are so european), Mod Leo is here to put some order in this post.
Ral Ral Ral. That’s a great girl! I’d say she’s even the best of all, but thanks to her personality she’d porbably say it’s not true, but if you get to know her you’ll see she is just a big liar :p As a moirail (or what we can understand of what’s it’s supposed to be), she always keeps me from punching people, and it’s my top desire 60% of the time, and over these months I’ve only punched one person and it was kindly. But helping me calm down over everything is not the only thing she does! The RAL3000 can also cheer you up when you are in the worst mood, even if you don’t even tell her! Talking to her just makes me forget about everything, like if I had my problems in my coat and Ral was a radiator, which obviously would make me take off the coat. (you’ll get to see that my analogies are the best ever)
Out of being a super hero to me, saving me from doing a few stupid things, she’s just so fun to talk to! As I am kind of the weird guy you don’t want to talk to in the block, she doesn’t give a fuck about it and respects me, even if she’s more accepted than me in the society. Ral is the only person I can totally open my heart to, I guess talking daily for more than year builds that type of relationship, but since it’s probably the first time I’ve had such a precious person in my life. Okay now that sounds way too cheesy, and it’s not all about how she is, but speaking my mind is something I try to do more, and just writing everything that goes through my mind at the moment is one of my hobbies. Anyway this is getting too irrelevant I will give the mic back to Ral. Make sure to check my latest post about our first OC Namurr Ninama! Have a good day :)
enough of this, mod Ral is back in town
you dare say i’m not talking about how i am?? oh i’ll show you how i am alright i am so damn grateful i got to meet someone like you!! listen up y’all this boy Leo right here is a TREASURE and if he says otherwise he’s nothing but a filthy liar. he’s been there for me for so long, always ready to give me life advice and choice ass memes, so it’s kind of obvious he makes me very happy, especially when i need it the most! and honestly i think i’ll never understand why he’s not giving himself the credit he deserves. i could go on for days about how much this boy means to me but sadly there are not enough words for that
wow Leo will you look at all of this fucking cheese, i can’t take it anymore, do you secretly want me to become lack toes in toddler ants
stay tuned for more of our posts! farewell ^^

A response to Takashi’s conspiracy theories
A few months ago on my primary blog zennistrad a user by the name of takashi0 got involved in a an exchange with me after he'd been reblogged by rationalsjdiscussions, someone whom I’m quite fond of. During this exchange, I’d linked him to this video by L0G1C B0MB debunking the numerous conspiracy theories against the game critic Anita Sarkeesian and told him that he’d failed to respond to him the last I’d linked it to him.
(I highly recommend this video to anyone who has half an hour to spare: it’s an excellent debunking of the standard anti-SJW bullshit you hear about her, as well as an excellent examination of paranoid and conspiratorial thought process.)
Profiling Muslim Refugees Isn’t Just Unjust: It’s Bad Security
“The use of profiling by ethnicity or nationality to trigger secondary security screening is a controversial social and political issue. Overlooked is the question of whether such actuarial methods are in fact mathematically justified, even under the most idealized assumptions of completely accurate prior probabilities, and secondary screenings concentrated on the highest-probability individuals. We show here that strong profiling (defined as screening at least in proportion to prior probability) is no more efficient than uniform random sampling of the entire population, because resources are wasted on the repeated screening of higher probability, but innocent, individuals. A mathematically optimal strategy would be “square-root biased sampling,” the geometric mean between strong profiling and uniform sampling, with secondary screenings distributed broadly, although not uniformly, over the population. Square-root biased sampling is a general idea that can be applied whenever a “bell-ringer” event must be found by sampling with replacement, but can be recognized (either with certainty, or with some probability) when seen.”
- William H. Press, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
To put it more simply, anyone who says that only Muslim refugees should be subject to secondary screening when being granted refuge is talking out their ass. Profiling based on probability of threat can only ever be an if it’s done extremely weakly: enough so that to a casual observer it would appear to be entirely random.
Excluding Christian refugees from secondary screening altogether and focusing entirely on Muslims would serve no purpose other than to waste resources screening mostly innocent individuals: no doubt encouraging confirmation bias and bigotry in the screeners as well.
Interesting how many of the supposedly “liberal” anti-SJ bloggers moaning about the petition to ban Donald Trump from the UK are far more concerned with a petition than they are about his horribly Islamophobic policy suggestions, advocacy of torture, use of false statistics to make racist arguments, and sizable fanbase of white supremacists.
Re: people who don’t think bluespace triggers are a real thing...
I’m just going to leave this here.
A user on /r/TiADiscussion, a spinoff of what can broadly be described as Reddit’s largest anti-SJW subreddit, explains his experience with depersonalization disorder. More importantly, he explains in a comment that bluespace images do trigger depersonalization episodes.
For more information on depersonalization disorder, check out the Mayo Clinic’s information page on it. It is very much a real thing and tagging bluespace images with the #bluespace tag to avoid causing undeserved mental health issues to people with depersonalization disorder takes literally two seconds of effort, so there’s no reason not to do it if someone asks you.
