tell me more about sotto!!!! (still working on drawing them!!!)
Sotto's sooooooooo-tto awesome
they're based on Roxas [but specifically just the intro of KH2 before Sora comes out] and a dream I had. They kickstarted the story that they're in, so they're very important to me! Sotto is the type of person to speak little but know a lot about others, they're humble and modest but don't exist without excitement at the same time. Because of this, they're the team strategist, though relies on Emcee for relaying info and on KillJoy for fully assessing combat strategies.
They have a deep love for all things involving time, so they collect clocks and metronomes, though their understanding of time leads them to not really need them. Sotto is constantly counting and is able to keep track of multiple count downs at once and challenges themself to just count higher than before. They also have a favorite countdown which coincidentally ends when they die. Emcee fixates on multiples of 2, so they both have a bonding point over numbers.
Sotto also likes bugs, specifically earwigs, and has a hobby in insect taxidermy. Their back tattoo [partially visible] are earwig wings, the nipple peircings are male cerci and the naval is female cerci. Their favorite plant is an almond tree and 2nd favorite is grapevine or moonseed.
Sotto's a very sexually active person and has slept with everyone in their posse. To them it's something to do for fun as well as a social activity. It's not uncommon for them to go bar hopping when bored just trying to score a date. ⬇ character in blue belongs to @oyesteryells ⬇ and is not canon 2 the universe...
storywise... they're the catalyst. The planet theyre on is a living arena where each death adds to the zygote inside, and spirits are recycled into what are essentially just mindless videogame enemies 4 the most part, though they can also be recycled into sapient beings on the level of natural life to small scale deities. Sotto sacrifices themself with the goal of removing their home from the arena structure, which causes time to locally stop. Theres no more aging, but people are safe. unfortunately, Sotto's sacrifice is not death and is to be eternally forgotten and being tasks with protecting the seal which keeps time stopped. The other galdiators of the island, which is Sotto's posse, are tasked with resuming time which takes like months worth of attempts to defeat Sotto who they can't remember having fought before. Upon their defeat and the seal being broken, due to being eternally forgotten, the curse is not reimbursed. Sotto doesn't blame them, and continues to fight by their side despite their invisibility, which ends up being their death. Sotto's hit by falling debris and concussed, which over time leads them to having slower and less articulate movement, which as someone who relies on dexterity is a death sentence. Being unable to move out of the way of a polearm, they're pinned to a wall and bleed to death. In the afterlife, they discover the living planet and the system which feeds it. Still being invisible, they use the mechanic to come back as a revenant to try and kill the deity level forms which support it, but end up killed once more by their posse [which do so by tracking the deadnoise they create]. The deity shrine they were present at as their revenant self was killed happened to be the one which cursed them originally and takes a chance on reimbursing something it'd tracked as being recent. It's too late, but each memory of them is restored and things they were present for after being cursed are updated to have them involved once more.
Sotto is permanently dead in spirit, but ends up like permanently remembered and starts the bulk of the story being about 'oh we have to kill the planet'. That said, they die for the last time feeling unforgiving hatred lol
