Hatchlings! + Rant about them because I like them
I haven't been able to draw at all these last few days (university sucks), but I had to put this here because I have too many thoughts of the hatchlings and I'm surprised the fandom hasn't focused on them much.
This is gonna be a big rant
I really like to think that mica would bring a lot of technological improvements to the hearthians. Slate's great, but they just recently got to try out the nomai tech. Imagine what someone who was born onto it. I think Mica would not only use nomai technology, but also really implement it into their designs.
Like, Slate just used it without understanding how it works (for example tye call back of the scouts, Riebeck doesn't know that falling into a black hole won't immediately kill you, so Slate probably hast figured out it works with black and white holes). But I got the feeling that Mica would truly understand it and improve on it.
I have less thoughts on the rest of the hatchlings, but here's the landmarks:
Tephra and Galena get into the space program, Galena more so than Tephra (they are kinda scared of space).
Tephra is a biologist and draws the animals, plants and research on a notebook
Galena is more of the adventurous type, usually dragging Tephra along with them
Arkose is a geologist on their free time, tree keeper as their main job. They get along with Gabbro when researching on quantum shards
Moraine is a lot like gneiss and I imagine them being into making/ playing lots of instruments. Teaching the astronauts how to play and stuff
But overall the new generations are less afraid of space, all of them having visited it at least once
I also have some ideas for expanding the planets/ some life forms (I also can't believe I haven't seen no one do this, it's so cool to imagine all these animals)
