Apex Polarity Personality Quiz

This is a small little thing for fun I made in order to have an excuse to make more things for Apex Polarity and its wide aurora of AUs and variations on setting and Y/Ns.

D. All of the above

E. Are you in danger?

F. Circle if you need help

G. Yes

2. What you look for most in a partner

A. Obsessive feral devotion

B. Good with kids

C. Humble

D. Shapeshifting

5. Your favorite animal/animal you resonate with the most

A. Arctic fox, phantomlike and swift, hiding behind snowdrifts when danger stirs. Your instinct is to avoid the grip of vices no matter how tempting, except perhaps if your stomach is involved.

B. Penguin, despite the cold weather and unforgiving ice, you are soft at your epicenter, from inside it radiates, and like a mirror you are equally as besotted by that which is as innocent and gentle.

C. Beluga, spun sweet and melodic, on your voice is carried the play of heartstrings like the gentle waver of quivering arctic waters and dancing sunlight. You sing and although it is fearless, the depths do not murmur in vain.

D. Seal, eccentric and woven into everything you do, you tend to stumble over your nerves but when in your element you are freed from all anxieties. The world may have taught you caution but In time you may learn to embody this grace wholly.

E. Narwhal, reclusive but mystical at the same time, perilously shy, and gentle but possessing fierce zeal in dire situations. Unfortunately, your likeness to a unicorn is reflected in others and far from many intentions are pure.

6. What is the most valuable in your eyes

A. Sentimental things even long years after they've run dry of their practical use

B. Shiny objects like rocks and trinkets

C. Natural wonders and displays of the world's phenomena

D. Food and guaranteed survival

E. Companionship

Score

Count how many like numbers you get (aka, all 4s, 2s, etc) and group them to find how many you got each. The highest quantity number is the winner.

(Important!) - Some answers can have multiple numbers assigned to them, in order of most indicative to least. Add these as well, their order has no meaning or weight on the score itself unless a tie occurs.

Further Explanation Guide

- Totaling - Count the amount of each number separately to see which one got the highest amount, if you get 7 4s, 2 3s, 4 1s and 6 2s, 4 is the winning number because there are the most 4s.

Example - Answered D on 1, D has the numbers 1, 4, and 3. Therefore you would add each a 1, 4 and 3 to the pool of numbers for your result.

- Ties - If you get a tie you use the highest favor number of each answer to settle it, or you can enjoy your multiple results. The most favored number is always the first listed.

Let me know if anything felt inaccurate or incorrect. I tried my best while still not reading much of AP because of mental health issues making it really too taxing to read a lot like as in books or fanfiction etc. Most of this is based on the various AU posts for Apex Polarity. You can adjust stuff if you feel like it doesn't fit.

I saw all those harpy Penguin posts and was like "I wonder if I could help or add something" when I noticed you wanted a name for it. Idk if you already have one but here is the essence of it I have so far in general.

Cardinal Instinct, or also words or phrases and concepts such as Nature vs Nuture, Core Instincts, Celestial Alingment, Harmonic Convergence.

Cardinal because it means most important or fundamental, and it is an aspect of the Zodiac signs with Cardinal, Fixed and Muted nature's based on the cycles of seasons and their phases of the start, the intrinsic bulk and the transitional conclusion.

It also is a play on Carnal, similar to how Apex Polarity is both a play on the phrase Apex Predator and Polarity with Polar, or maybe even also just with the Poles. It is also a reference to Cardinal directions, which are the defined and known directions on a compass, they are the familiar and known paths that are often taken because they form our understanding of the world and everything in it. But although they are the most formal they are most certainly not the only ways.

This references how Eclipse and PenguinHarpy!Y/N are both following their Instincts but also are in a situation where they are coming into question. They are both trying to care for the babies, but Penguin Y/N shouldn't by the technical detail of them not being Harpies but Orca Mer young, while it makes more sense for Eclipse to be compelled to tend to them. But Eclipse Is also bending the situation when he refrains from just following that direct line of instinct, naturally arriving at the typical bloody conclusion.

While nurture is what compelled our Harpy Y/N to take these 2 baby mers under their wings literally, it's up to Eclipse to either follow the vein straight to the scent of blood at the end or deviate from nature's course and answer in kind. The heart flows both in and out, and it's nature is as entrenched in its deep and darker reaches as it is swathed in the warmer and brighter patterns where the light touches.

But we all know at the end of the day if Eclipse gets what he wants he's taking a birdie home along with the two newly adopted children.

On another note I also did ponder over the concept of Sun and Moon being in the same universe as Apex Polarity, and my interpretation/idea was Sun being a Beluga and Moon being a Narwhal. Beluga fits Sun's personality quite a bit, but I will admit I cannot imagine how the heck you'd be able to fit that goofy-ass horn on Moon. I just wanted to mention this for the mental image of magical sea unicorn Moon and musical sea canary Sun for fun.

I love Cardinal Instinct! It flows well, has lots of thought and meaning behind it, and mirrors the structure name of Apex Polarity! I'd love to use that for the AU title if you don't mind!!! The dynamics of Orca!Eclipse and Penguin Harpy!Y/N are so well defined and explored within a few paragraphs, I'm in awe!

(He's absolutely taking a birdie home along with his babies)

That's so cute!!! A natural musical ability and a beautiful white and yellow tipped tail for Sun, and a majestic tusk for Moon with a tail of deep blue mottled with white markings like stars! I'm pondering some kind of sea shell or maybe even twisting his tusk into a head cap instead of a large canine tooth.

Regardless, these two would be much more mild-mannered with our lovely photographer, though no less interested in Y/N.

Excellent thoughts all around; I'm chewing on your every word!

If I were to describe the moments I get inspiration for Apex Polarity it's like either being bit by a fish that is convinced I am it's soul mate from another life and won't let go, or a miniature avalanche like a snowcone with rainbows being dumped on your head. But instead of brain freeze you get lovely ideas!

So I did just that! I made another piece of pixel art. I had a few ideas, including things like some sort of penguin Y/N or a snowman of big fish man himself. I wanted to make something for Harpy!Y/N in particular since I hadn't don't anything for them or their AU and it's my favorite iteration of Apex Polarity.

Family Under the Ice

This one depicts Eclipse and his family of four swimming together below the frozen surface. With young Sun and Moon in tow, Harpy!Y/N close beside them and the shapes of fish (yes those weird lumpy dark things are fish!) against the light from above.

I tried my best to scale Harpy!Y/N right, but as there is no official reference, I used the various fanart and deduction to decide they're probably around the size of Eclipse's torso and upper half, give or take. Perfect for Eclipse to use his big fishy effect to its fullest and to not be inconvenient for hugs!

The hardest part by far though, wasn't the ice, even though it took multiple layers upon layers before it finally looked more than just a bunch of dark blobs, the colors or the lighting, it was drawing SILHOUETTES in pixel art.

This took HOURS, it was so difficult to get the shape and size right, especially at the scale I was using (64x64, the same as the last) which left me with not much room for detail.

One example of the many iterations I had to make -

The original sprites for the siren babies where literally fishtails on chicken drumsticks with heads because I didn't think I'd be able to squeeze as much percieveable (or at least as much as I could get) detail into them with how small they were compared to Eclipse and Y/N. They also had to be small enough for Y/N to hold both without it looking ridiculous, but not so small that they barely looked cohesive with the rest of the silhouettes.

I hope you enjoy this small bit of Harpy!Y/N art

AHHHH THIS WAS BURIED IN MY INBOX BUT I'M SO GLAD I UNEARTHED IT AGAIN AHHHHHHH

I LOVE YOUR PIXEL ART SO MUCH AND THE BEAUTIFUL SILHOUETTES WITH THE BABIES AND HARPY!Y/N AND ECLIPSE ARE GORGOUES!!!

Ahhh, thank you so much for sharing! ♥

I'm drawing your new bastard fish. Send help.

I didn't think this setting would get me to actually draw something as I rarely do, and am not very good at it, but I'm semi decent at pixel art. So here is Eclipse, the shadow under the ice himself, clutching with anticipation at the edge of an iceberg as he watches his prey on top of what they think is a safe zone. But he'll get them, eventually.

Eclipse - *Sinks below the water to instill the fear that he's out of sight but still lurking below just waiting for you to fall asleep or lower your guard*

The first one has my PenguinMerY/N, they're very small and the yellow parts near their eyes on their head are actually feelers or antenna like the decorative feathers some penguins have on their heads, but used to detect the movements of prey swimming far away and deep below. It helps them sense the ripples and disturbance of water, and also is the only reason they had even managed to run in time to escape alive from Eclipse.

- Food -

I also have a version with Eclipse and a normal human Y/N. The figure is simple and I put a rainbow for the face cause it's very difficult to get a detailed face or Y/N symbol in such a small amount of pixels so I didn't bother worrying over it.

- Eclipse and You -

Here's one with just Eclipse.

- Just Eclipse -

Finally here's one with the background. Yes I know there are inconsistencies with the water in a few but it wasn't until after I made copies that I realized I hadn't put any detail on the water in the background and unfortunately Pixilart doesn't allow me to edit things in a way to transfer Layers or copied things, or i was just dumb. So the water in the background and foreground might be a bit different in a few spots and images. But I dearly hope you like them and it's not annoying somehow.

- Frozen Seas -

AHHHH I'M EATING THIS PIXEL ART!!!

Babe, these are incredible! I absolutely love pixel art, like, love love pixel art! This is such a treat!!! I adore your Mer Penguin design!!! I'm gazing so hard at the composition with Eclipse lurking below and the blend of deep blue with the white ice and the beautiful yellow-green sky! It captures so much emotion and the character's personalities!!! Ahhh, I'm eating this! It's so pretty and I adore it!!!

Thank you so much for sharing! ♥

Hey. I love what I've read about Cryptid Sightings so far (only got a bit before it locked on me but it's okay.) While I wait for the sanity and health to return to me enough to use my computer to request the account on a device I am sure I won't be replacing in a few months, I thought instantly of the trope of video game horror creepy pasta when it comes to your Cryptid AU!

Have you ever played or seen anything about the games Until Dawn or The Quarry? Not for the faint of heart honestly, especially if you are squeamish around gore and graphic death scenes (watching it, me, I casually read worse gore in fiction like it's nothing almost, I blame Warriors for desensitizing me to humans-who-live-in-the-woods level intelligent cats flaming each other for social drama, needless savagery and territory.) I won't spoil if your interested in looking at them and haven't experienced or seen them before, they're both narrative choice driven horror games.

I implore you. If you ever look into these games listen to the music, especially of The Quarry, it has the most intense mix of moodiness, suspense, deep seated emotion and raw horror I've heard from an . Thorn In My Side is the best imo, and an amazing song that if you have the time to, listen to it in the intro of the game because if that isn't the most perfectly tailored intro to a horror setting idk what is.

It gave me the idea for a sort of concept of a similar setting. Like how people used to write lots of old horror fics about Pokémon or such involving the pokemon in the game being self aware and things turning scary whenever the main person playing them would give attention to other things or abandon them. Like the concept of all of these combined. The Quarry's or Until Dawn's larger scale horror setting with spooky video games with self aware ai.

I could go on about this but the explanation became 4 (long) paragraphs long and it would have gone longer but I refuse to make you read all that so enjoy the song recs if you like them <3

I've watched a Let's Play of Until Dawn but I haven't seen the Quarry! I need to check that one out, especially if it's got good music hehe

Oh man, a video game horror of the DCA would be sick, like, is this video game character actually talking to you? Is he aware of you, not as a player, but as you? Is he trying to kill you? Is he trying to make you play a game you might not win? Who knows!
