Anyway no one except Ravi wanted to talk to me about what kind of bugs the boys would be
So tumblr gets this because I sad
Brainworms with HK lore for nerds like me below + a silly ship sketch
So a bit of lore, technically the setting is in the middle of HK playthru yk?? But it's also on its own kinda?
The hive is opened after many years, there's a lot of commotion and infection and obviously the king is no more sooooo
3 pretty pale siblings come through the world searching for followers, all three are wyrms but they take on forms of different bugs
Ianite is a mantis
Mianite is a wyrm (kings mold kinda build?)
Dianite is a moth (Grimm type heho)
Sparklez the mighty ant
Born and raised in the city of tears (don't ask me where the rest of the ants are, we're all waiting for silksong lol)
He wanted to become a city guard but did not make the cut because of his size and species, seeking to become worthy he travels outside the city later to train with the nail masters and meeting Ianite and the Mantis Lords.
His charms are Nailmaster's Glory (for obvious reasons) and Mark of Pride given by the Mantis Lords. + unbreakable strength
He spends most of his time in the Colosseum of Fools and has become a valuable champion
The deepnest pretty boy aka Peter 'za' hhutt
He's the Midwife's precious son, he gets his hunger from her. Pete found the Wayward Compass charm and quickly became an expert in the maze that is Deepnest making him the most dangerous predator. He has never left the nest, didn't need to. Bugs would come wandering in, traitors and weaklings would be thrown in by the Mantis Lords. Plenty of delicious food keeping him fed and sane.
The other charms he's given by Sparklez when they meet. Sparklez loves exploring, taking on any battle he can. Pete puts up a great fight. The spider isn't used to pray fighting back so vigorously so he lets Sparklez go. Meeting a worthy opponent Sparklez offers companionship since the deepnest is a tough place to traverse.
Quick Slash and Dashmaster made Pete more of a beast but he's no longer fueled by hunger because Sparklez consistently brings him dead bugs from the coliseum fights to feed Pete.
Fuzzy bee X33n
He's just a Hivelink, some of them patrol outside the hive but Xeen never been outside. After the hive was forced to interact with an outsider X33n musters up the courage to go explore. He missed his exit at the Ancient Basin because the infected bugs there scared him. But the first time he goes to explore he ends up in Deepnest.
Poor bee gets chased by a hungry spider and ends up running into an armored ant hehoo
Sparklez saves X33n from hungry Pete and they sit down to talk about the hive and how a bee got lost so far away from home
X33n's charms are Hiveblood (obviously, he's a bee it comes with the Xbox!) Thorns of Agony and Heavy Blow to help him against the infected bugs
The ship silly for anyone who is nerd enough to read through all this
"fed a stray cat now he loves me" VS "how can I NOT want to eat him he's so plump and fuzzy!!"
