A new Marshadow OC! They’re called Keaka and they’re the leader of a small group of Marshadow in Hydra’s World!

Keaka waited patiently. Something about this temple didn't feel as confining as some of the others they had visited. Perhaps that was a good sign for what ever Perrin was going through but when he was back rather quickly she wondered if her gut instinct was wrong. "Yeah I could go for some food." She spoke with a small smile.

"What sort of budget do we have for the inn? I could get some quick cash if I can fence some of the jewelry I have if we need to." Her voice was lower on the second part not wanting to have too many people know about how she often made her money.

Updated Hygiene Headcannons (someone help me)

Jubilife VIllage consists mostly of people from Kanto/Johto and Galar - plus Cyllene from Hoenn and Keaka from Alola and I don't understand it and I'm so confused and Gully could also be from Kalos and the names of the characters don't help at all so my best guess for practicality's sake that the expedition team is founded in Galar and picked up settlers from Johto - therefor I have come to the conclusion that

The Supply Corps makes soap using lye and oils/lard. So they have soap in liquid and solid form.

Did you know that you can wash your hands with ash? Very practical if you're in the wilderness. Cover hands in ash and then wash off in a stream, just don't do it often as it strips your skin off of all oil and will damage your skin.

Lye is made by mixing ash and water. Build a container, perhaps a barrel, then place layers of filters inside for example stones, branches, hay/grass and put the ash on top. Let it sit for 5 - 7 days and pour out the brown/orange water which is now lye. Lye is very alkaline so watch out.

I have read different opinions on whether or not you can use this soap for hair washing. It's good for hands and clothes and I assume you could also wash dishes and the sort. I am not sure if the oil/lard will stay in the hair over time.

For hair washing there is at least one plant in Europe and several growing in Asia. So:

The Galarians use soapwort, of which you can use every part. Just chop the plant into small pieces and boil shortly then simmer for half an hour. Let it cool and you'll see it foams a tiny bit (it foams during the cooking). Results are mixed, it's not as cleaning as commercial shampoo, but...

...medieval European hair care consisted largely of using a fine comb, combing hair twice thoroughly then braid the hair and wear a head scarf. The scarf was made from linen most often and would absorb bodily fluids like oil well. Some women changed head scarves several times a day, otherwise once a day. The hair would not be without oil, the sebum would be distributed by combing and the comb would catch other dirt and dust. One youtuber said she didn't feel unclean, but she did use a bit of hair oil because just combing will leave the hair with its natural smell and we're not used to that anymore. I don't know what to think of that. Old recipes also speak of using eggs, but I refuse to write about wasting a perfectly good Pokémon egg for hair care. Man you could eat that!

As for Asian plants, here are some suggestions: soap berries/nuts (India), honey locust (China), hibiscus (India), gugo (Philippines whoops), bo ket fruit (Vietnam), shikakai (South East Asia).

I don't have any info about medieval Japanese hair care, because I have already gone crazy in my research and decided that soapwort grows in Hisui. There. Done.

Washing hair was a pain in both old timey Europe and China, so the Jubilife women go to the hair salon to get their hair washed once a week or so. They could without washing for longer but it ties in well with the canon that Edith's salon is a gossip hotspot. It's a place to socialise.

For hair shampoo Edith has a collection of herbs and other nice smelling, dried plants. She mixes every day for her customers. Both soapwort and diluted lye can be enhanced with other hair oils (don't ask me I don't want to research any further but I know I will because this gap in information bites me) and with other herbs.

Also rice water. They rinsed their hair with the water in which they have cooked their rice. Amazing. I am currently trying this but I have bought the wrong rice.

As for brushing teeth European and Indian use tree branches. Break off a piece, chew on the end to spread the fibers and use it as a brush. Back in the days this was mostly fine seeing as there wasn't that much sugar going around and at least in Europe sour things weren't too common either. I have read a comment of a men brushing his teeth for the past twenty years with a mix of charcoal, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves. He then rinses out with apple cider vinegar. I'm... not going to try that.

Perfumes technically exist but I don't think the earlier settlers have any. Perfume is expensive to make and can spoil. Maybe perfume made of rosemary instead of roses, but I'll have to look further into that. Overall I imagine some later settlers are rich enough to have brought and wish for perfume. I think specifically of this lady that came to Hisui for Beni's mochi.

Don't mind me thinking about Jublife Village's people as settlers from Anno whose needs develop the further Jubilife develops.

When it comes to underwear I have often seen that European women just went commando. Which I cannot understand and which some conclude comes from lack of information. People didn't talk about underwear. Some time in the 20th or 19th century women began to wear short pants (knee-length) which developed over time into the panties we know today. I assume men wore the same or a similar garment. For the top part women wore a chemise, a sort of long t-shirt made of linen. I assume men wore the same or something similar.

You might have noticed that I focus on women. That's because Akari is the protagonist and she lives with three other women.

As for Japanese men in the edo period they have worn a loincloth. There are different types of it, all called a variation of fundoshi. They differentiate in the ways they are tied around the waist and one of them is apparently a 3 meter long cloth.

When the time in the month comes there are different methods European women dealt with it. I have seen special belts in which a clean piece of cloth (whatever is available and cheap) is sewn into. After use you remove the cloth and sew in a new one. You wash the old cloth until its of no use anymore. Unless you have money then you can also use them only once. Jubilife has one clothier with a limited amount of cloth so the women washed it. Another possibility is to put the extra piece of cloth into the underwear. I have also read of self-made pads of hay/grass put into cloth and sewn together.

For toilets every household has at least one night pot, perhaps two (one for solid one for liquid). The contents can be used as manure and the Agriculture Corps has use for manure. While toilets haven't been build in canon, [I say] there are stalls built near the fields. The excrement are collected by a bucket under the toilet seat. The excess is dumped in an earth closet. My aunt and uncle have told me that each village (East Germany post WW2) had a different way to deal with it once it was full. Some were buried with earth, some mixed with some powder (I forgot) and used as manure and others transported it away. In my opinion it's too valuable a resource to dump into a hole and bury it.

[Take a Break]

<<More Comics

It's hard to take breaks and to give ourselves a break. Promising a break for our self is not the same as actually resting.

Also for those that have wondered about Keaka the Alolan in the Alabaster Icelands, Lani does go talk with him on occasion. She doesn't like the cold so she doesn't go often or stay long. Why not take a coat? She's too lazy to find one ngl. She can't take it with her so why bother.

PLA/Submas Fic: Electric Trains are the Future Ch. 6 - Chatting over Lunch

Previous Chapter (5) - Current Chapter - Next Chapter (7)

It’s an exposition chapter, and Irida’s first appearance! I did try to keep it entertaining for the Girls Night™️ feel.

Chapter Summary: With Ingo indisposed, Akari and Elesa take the day off to eat lunch with Irida and catch Elesa up. Chapter Word Count: 3573

As always, read below or read it on AO3 for additional author notes! Every chapter is cross posted, and reblogs and comments are appreciated!

“Ingy!” Elesa was the first to reach Ingo after he had hit the ground, where he had lain still crying to himself. Akari hopped the fence and got there at the same time as Zisu, all three of them frantically checking the man for any injuries from the fall. Thankfully, he had landed in the grass and avoided any scrapes or cuts on impact.

Akari was completely lost on what happened. Why was Uncle Ingo crying and saying the name “Wyndon” over and over again? Elesa seemed a little shocked at hearing the name, but smiled afterwards, so maybe she recognized something he was remembering? Eventually, after making sure he wasn’t hurt, Zisu picked the man up and carried him home.

“What happened to him?” Shocked at the sudden question, Akari turned back towards the fence, where several of the townsfolk were still gathered, wary of the event that just transpired, with Irida at the front, standing tall with a worried expression.”Did he get hit by a stray attack, Akari?”

“No, Irida,” Akari says, jogging back over to the fence to chat with the Pearl Clan leader. “He was going to call the end of the fight when he suddenly collapsed.” Akari looks at the departing figure of Zisu, biting her bottom lip in worry. “He’s been remembering things since Elesa came here.”

Looking back, Elesa was also staring at the departing Zisu, obviously trying to hold back tears with her own worried expression. Akari grimaced and started to walk towards Elesa as Irida came around the fence, keeping some space between the two. “Elesa? Are you ok?”

The older woman jumps in her skin for a second, then swallows heavily. “Yep! Yeah, totally fine. Just watched my boyfriend collapse in tears and someone else taking care of him as I’m in shock, that’s all.” Elesa’s voice is strained, and she quickly runsher hands across her eyes, clearing the tears from them and then drags them down her face to smear them dry.

“Boyfriend?” It was Irida who asked, but the same question had come across Akari’s mind at the same time. Elesa jumps in her skin for the second time and whirls around to look at Irida with light shock. “What do you mean? He’s never mentioned anything about finding a partner.”

Akari decides to step in before anything else is said and smiles at both women. “Hi! Irida, this is Elesa, the Electric Type Gym Leader from Unova! She’s just joined Security, I think?” Elesa gives a nod, and Akari takes that as the cue to continue. “Hi! Elesa, this is Irida, the Leader of the Pearl Clan! Ingo is a Warden under her, and she accepted him into their village when he appeared.”

That immediately changed both women’s demeanor. Irida was surprised to see a foreigner from as far as Unova, as only Laventon, Keaka, and a few Gingko Clan members were farther than Hoenn. Elesa on the other hand was glad to meet the person who had taken Ingo in and immediately stepped forward to grab her hands. “Thank you so much for taking care of Ingo! Do you have time to talk? I want to know what’s been going on!”

Irida takes a step back to preserve her space before answering. “I came to talk with Commander Kamado about a few things, but I can talk after that. Are you ok with that?”

“Of course! We’ll be…” Elesa pulls a face and looks at Akari for help on finding a meeting place.

“Wallflower. We’ll be at the Wallflower.” Akari needed the mochi after the stress of seeing Ingo suddenly fall over.

—

Elesa and Akari were sitting outside at the table at the Wallflower, enjoying a plate of potato mochi, when Irida finally left the Galaxy Office about 30 minutes later. “So, Kamado told me that you are an old friend of Ingo’s?” Irida asks as she sits down to join them.

Elesa quickly swallows her bite of the mochi before responding. “Yes, we’ve known each other since we were kids. We went to school together, took our Pokemon journeys together, and eventually started working in the same city together and dating.”

“And this was in Unova?” Irida asks, leaning in better to hear.

“Yeah, and-” Elesa pauses and gives Akari a look. “Hey, what you told me on the beach, do they know?”

Akari grimaced a little and swore heavily in her head. She never got around to telling people she was from the future, no, and while she was sure most of the leadership had figured it out, she didn’t like that this was how she was about to tell Irida. “No, not specifically? I wasn’t sure of the best way to tell people, especially with how the Clans were, but…” She looks around, making sure that Beni is very much inside and that no one else is listening. “Her Unova is 150 years in the future. I remember seeing her in magazines then.”

Irida froze in place entirely like she had been hit by Ice Beam, while Elesa just gave her a look that was curious but not interrogative.

“I know, it sounds weird, but yeah. I like fashion a little, ok?” Irida could only nod, a little dumbfounded at the information that both of her conversation partners are from a different time period. “So, before I came here, I would read magazines, and I remember reading about Elesa. I didn’t immediately recognize her ‘cause I’ve only seen her as a blonde.”

“Yeah, I haven’t dyed my hair in awhile,” Elesa says, looking at her ponytail. “Might dye it soon with Arezu, not sure.” She idly flicks the ponytail before turning back to Irida. “Sorry that we’re dropping this Voltorbshell on you, but you should definitely know the context of why I’m completely lost on everything.”

Irida took a moment to come back to the conversation from whatever world she was in. “Ok, so. You’re from another time period, I’m sure that Adaman will have a field day with that.” She leans forward, putting her elbows on the table and pressing her fingers against the bridge of her nose. “And one of my Wardens is also from the future, meaning that the biggest reason he is so strange isn’t that he’s foreign, it’s that he is from a different time.” She takes a deep breath and exhales it slowly. “Akari, I have to say, we figured that there was more you weren’t telling us about your arrival, but… 150 years?”

Akari giggled slightly at this while managing to look apologetic. “Sorry, Irida.” She sighs and leans back on her bench, slumping her shoulders. “It was so weird coming here and realizing I was in the past. I'd heard about the Diamond and Pearl Clans, but only in history class, and I mostly slept through that.”

“Wait, you read about me in class?” Irida says with a look of incredulity. “My people are a history lesson to you?”

Akari grimaced harder, and Elesa took the chance to cut in. “Ok, so I have questions now.” Both girls turned to look at her, ready to cut this line of conversation short. “You said you let Ingo into your Clan? What happened there?”

Irida sits back from the table, closing her eyes to think. “It was a little over 3 years ago now, there were rumors of a lost spirit on the Icelands where we lived. A figure in a black coat with a hat pulled low over his face, calling out in a foreign language. Any time someone approached him, he’d vanish in the snow and they’d lose track of him. Some people thought that he was a Zoroark. Gaeric, my teacher and the Warden of Lord Avalugg, saw him one morning atop Avalugg’s Legacy, a gathering of ice that had formed as a sheer cliff.”

“Yeah, I remember I had to use Lord Braviary to get on top of there!” Akari nearly shouts in shock, slapping her hands on the table. “You’re telling me he climbed up there?!”

Irida laughed a little as she shook her head. “Gaeric said that he’d seen him up there, and climbed as quickly as he could to get there.” Elesa looked like she wanted to ask a question about that, but just shook her head and accepted the fact that someone Irida knows can casually climb a sheer cliff of ice. “When he got up there, there was no one there, and no one below on the ice, body or otherwise. No one climbing down, no one walking away. After that, we assumed he was truly a ghost.”

“Dragons, that is actually scary,” Elesa says with a look of shock on her face. “Ingo can fade into a crowd real easily, but not like that.” She taps the table a few times as she thinks. “Was he avoiding you all?”

Irida lightly shrugs. “We weren’t able to communicate with him. By Sinnoh, he didn’t even come to us by his own free will. Lady Sneasler had come to the settlement one day while me and Gaeric were conversing on the perimeter, carrying him in her basket. He was starving, had a nasty gash on his right side, and a sprained wrist.” 

Irida pauses to see if Akari and Elesa would say anything, and continues when they stay quiet and attentive. She could’ve sworn Akari had heard this from Ingo, so maybe Irida’s way of telling it was more entertaining. “Calaba, another of our Wardens, and I tended to his wounds and ensured he would survive. From what we gathered, Lady Sneasler had found him and assumed that he was some form of fellow Pokemon and adopted him. When she saw he was injured, she got worried and brought him to us.” She breathes out a laugh. “Really, it was-”

“Snea!” And here comes Lady Sneasler, holding two kids in her arms with more behind her. Walking up to the table, she drops a kid in Elesa’s lap (the kid leans back into Elesa and begins to doze off) and waves to her; she walks around the table to Akari and rubs her chin on top of her head, then gives her a kid (who climbs up onto Akari’s shoulder and sits down politely); then picks up and drops a kid into Irida’s lap (who sits nice and polite, yes ma’am!), then licks Irida’s forehead and gently grooms her hair, causing the young Leader to laugh. Sneasler then sits down next to Irida. “Snea.” She looks around at the gathered humans and gauges their reactions, then relaxes as they all are calm with the babies, then grabs a mochi to eat.

“Welcome, My Lady,” Irida says with a small bow before returning to the topic at hand. “So, with Sneasler here, I might as well talk about the position Ingo has in the Clan. He is the Warden to our Lady Sneasler, one of the 10 descendents of the Ancient Heroes, blessed by the Almighty Sinnoh Itself.”  Sneasler snickers at that, then swats at two of the kids for squabbling about climbing into Akari’s lap. “He was slow on picking up Hisuian, our native language, but it was clear that he was incredibly skilled with Pokemon. His Gliscor was a simple Gligar when he first bonded with it, and had followed him for over a month before he thought to officially take it on. He then had a Machop following him and mimicking his poses an-”

Sneasler cuts in out of nowhere. “Sneasler sneas snea-snea. Sneasler-snea, sneasler snea sler-ler.” She waves her hand as if to emphasize. “Sneasler sneas-snea-snea ler. Nler, sneal. Sneasler sneasel sneasler-snea.” She waves over towards Irida, who just plain looks annoyed. Akari and Elesa on the other hand are enraptured despite not understanding anything. “Sneasel sneasler sneas-sneas-sneasler ler.” She holds her hands in front of her to mimic holding the Celestica Flute, and blew hard. “PFOO-PFOO!” This time Elesa and Akari both laugh until Irida cuts in.

“Lady Sneasler, you do realize they don’t understand you and are mostly humoring you, correct?” Sneasler pauses and narrows her eyes at Akari and Elesa, who just smile sweetly like carved angels, before she snickers and waves her paw. “Ok, thank you.”

Irida breathes in deep before continuing. “Shortly after Ingo had joined the Pearl Clan, Lady Sneasler’s previous Warden, Shiki, passed away. She had been the Warden for the previous Sneasler as well, and the current Lady had grown very attached to Ingo in the wake of her Warden’s passing.” Sneasler sighs a little and focuses on grooming the two kids that were squabbling. No one seemed to notice that the mochi was gone. “We had already had Ingo working with her so that he could help contribute to the Clan and learn the language, so I decided that he would be the next Warden once I saw his connection with the Lady.”

There was a short silence as Irida finishes her story before Elesa says anything. “No wonder he seems so out of it,” she says, biting her knuckle nervously. “Thank you very much for taking care of him, Irida. It means a lot to me.”

Irida laughs, waving off the compliment. “No need to thank me! I would never leave someone to die if I could help it. Yes, there were struggles with the language barrier, but once that was sorted, he was a great source of help to the Clan.”

Akari finally notices the empty plate in the middle of the table, and looks down at her Sneasel, who has a brown stain across her face, and upon looking around, so do the others. “Girls. We’ve been robbed of our mochi.” The Sneasels all cheer.

Elesa sighs, having actually enjoyed the mochi, before going back to the conversation. “I have to say though, it’s interesting to see such a mix of languages. I’ve heard Kantonian, Galarian, I swore I heard someone speaking Alolan as I walked by a house earlier, and now you’re saying that you had to teach Ingo how to speak Hisuian.” She smiles and glances to Akari, knowing she’s from her time period. “I’m decently multilingual because of work, but there is a saying about Unova. ‘You know someone is from Unova because-”

“‘They expect you to speak Galarian’,” Akari finishes, giggling a little. “Really, Galarian isn’t all that common here, despite constantly hearing it from Laventon when he’s talking to himself.”

“Oh, it’s not common at all,” Irida says, flagging down Beni to order some more mochi. “I would say Kantonian and Johtoan are the most common languages you’ll find here in Jubilife.”

“Johtoan? I thought it was just Kantonian?” Elesa had been the one to ask the question, though Akari is also somewhat confused. She knew that Johtoan was a dialect of Kantonian, but a different language entirely?

“I’m not the best source on this, but from what my grandmother, the former Leader of the Pearl Clan, explained to me,” Irida starts, noticeably having to think and remember. “Johtoan was the official language for the southern islands until about 20 years ago, when Kantonian became the official language. She made sure to teach me both, so that I could communicate with any merchants that came this way. Adaman is the same, his grandfather taught him the languages.”

Akari nods with excitement before cutting in. “That explains why Kamado sounds like he’s from Goldenrod! He grew up around Johto, didn’t he?!” The Sneasel in her lap, the little thief, shouts alongside her.

“I think he mentioned that, yes,” Irida says with a nod. “Though a few others here also have a more Hoennese dialect, like Beni. There are times I just plain can’t understand him.”

“Good,” Beni says as he sets a plate of mochi down for the table. “My language is my last connection to home, and it allows me some privacy.” Without even waiting for a response, the cook turns around and putters back to his kitchen.

Elesa looks at him with a look of confusion. “Is he always so… quiet?”

“He’s a ninja,” Akari says matter-of-factly. 

“Yeah, he is,” Irida says, a little uncomfortable. Elesa winces, and looks back at the door with a bit of apprehension.

The group sits in silence for a moment before Irida reaches out to get some mochi for herself. “Anyway. When it comes to Galarian, that is indeed mostly Laventon, though Ginter and several others in the Gingko Clan know the language, and Kamado and Cyllene both know it as well. Laventon himself is from Galar, and it was through him that we realized what language Ingo had been speaking the entire time.” She smiles as she bites into the mochi, chews on it, and swallows. “We sent him to Jubilife to hopefully learn Kantonian, and then we realized Ingo was conversational in Kantonian the entire time. Once that was established, I used that to help him learn Hisuian.”

“And that!” Akari starts, pointing at Elesa with purpose. “Is why I thought Ingo was from Galar! Cause it makes sense!”

“And as I said, we don’t talk at all alike!” The two time travelers begin arguing as Irida just continues to eat her mochi in relative peace.

—

The three had continued to talk for a few hours, even as Sneasler and her kids left to go back to the Highlands. As the sun begins to sink into the horizon, though, Irida stands from the table. “I do need to get heading back to the Settlement. I’ll probably stop at Lian’s and rest there for the night.”

“See ya, Irida!” Akari says, waving her off with glee.

“Good-bye, Irida,” Elesa says with a smile. “It was wonderful to meet you, and thank you so much for sharing those stories with me.”

“Of course! I’m just glad that Ingo has someone here for him finally.” Irida sighs lightly, though she has a smile on her face. “He’s been in need of someone to share his space. And you seem to care for him a lot.” With that, she waves good-bye to the two and heads off to the village’s exit.

Elesa takes a deep breath and lets it out, then looks over to Akari. “So, unless you have anything else planned, you little hellion, I think I’m gonna go check on Ingo.” She stands up and begins walking towards Canala Avenue when she hears Akari run up next to her.

“I can chat on the way!” Even though she was trying to sound peppy, Elesa could tell she had something on her mind.

So she decided to cut her off. “What’s up, Akari?” The teenager deflates a bit and slows down, making Elesa slow down to not leave her behind.

“I don’t remember you from a magazine.” Ah, there it is. She thought that excuse was a little odd. “I just didn’t recognize you, because when we met at the Sinnoh-Unova League Tournament, you were blonde.” The Sinnoh-Unova tournament? That was 3 years ago, right before Ingo disappeared. 

“Hold up, what were you doing there?” She gives Akari a sharp look, mostly just to gauge her. This kid was a bundle of mysteries, being some sort of time traveler, having gods as her pets, and now acting like they’ve met.

“My name is actually Hikari.” Hikari? Isn’t that- “I’m the Champion of the Sinnoh League, unless Cynthia has taken it back in my absence.” The pair continues to walk in silence for a moment before Ak- Hikari says anything. “I had to come up with a name. I didn’t want to accidentally make a paradox, so I chose Akari.” She looks up at Elesa with a bit of worry. “Please use Akari. I haven’t told Uncle Ingo yet ‘cause he doesn’t really remember anything still.”

Elesa sighs before nudging Akari with her elbow. “Secret’s safe with me, kid. Ingo wouldn’t know you anyway, unless you actually made it over to Unova to battle the Subway.”

“No I didn’t,” Akari says with a light laugh. “I made a trip to Kanto to travel the Sevii Islands, but I didn’t have a chance to go to their Battle Frontier or anything like that.” The pair stop in front of Ingo’s house, and there are sounds of movement inside. “Well. You’re home. I’ll head back to mine, I just… Wanted to come clean a bit, ‘cause I’m the reason you’re here. I’m sorry.” Akari hugs Elesa tight for a moment and then prepares to let go and dash away.

Elesa makes sure to hug her back first, giving her a tight squeeze. “Thanks for bringing me, Skiddo. It’s great to see Ingo again.”

Akari breathes deeply before letting go. “I’ll find a way to get you home, promise.” With Elesa’s nod, she turns and bolts home.

Elesa meanwhile turns around and opens the door to Ingo’s and steps in. “I’m home!”

“Welcome home, Elesa!” Ingo calls out from the counter, where he is currently flattening out a circle of dough, no coat or hat on. “I am still working on dinner, so it will be a bit until it is ready. I’m sorry for the delay in schedule, it has taken me a bit to recall this recipe.”

Elesa looks at everything that he has on the counter, and watches him lift the circle of dough and spin it on his hands. “Wait, Ingo. Are you making pizza?!”

“I mean I find it easier when a man thinks you are both defenseless and you are into him. For what ever reason that’s what they want to see so when they have it their guard drops significantly.” 

[proelio-procusi]

The very fact Keaka isn’t dead in a ditch somewhere is a nice little plus in her book With so many issues that she went through to survive what she has she knows even being sane is a win, even if she still blames herself. Her own trauma keeps her from letting herself have meaningful relationships again. The thought of losing anyone else hurts. She isn’t quick to build meaningful relationships but she isn’t adverse to a quick tumble with someone.

Jewel Archipelago

As an independent nation of its own, it tends to get left alone by G.U.N and other higher powers of government, much to the relief of the people. It is much more primitive compared to other places like it, having their own focuses and in a sense, religion. 

While primitive in social and religious aspects, they are also relatively caught up or advanced in other ways. Their technology regarding medical science and things of the such are said to be a blessing to those that can come across it on their own. The people of the region used to offer these advancements for free when people happened to come across the islands themselves, but now offer it for a price. Usually, this price is only good for those that are desperate for major items or goals.

Many people of the islands believe that the original head of the islands, Annette Monet, still exists in the world to this day, despite her having last been confirmed to be seen hundreds of years ago. They consistently work toward the goals that they believe she would have wanted, and look upon her old words as guidance on a regular basis. The heads of the Islands are meant to imitate this as well, but each has their own take on her words and what they mean.

There were once a total of seven islands that made up the entirety of the Archipelago, with two of them having gone missing due to various natural disasters over the years. These islands are left to become nothing more than myths, the islands of Opal and Onyx, and have become little more than myths to most of the people.

The islands leftover include the following. 

Peridot, the port island that connected the region to other regions in the world, is known for its trade of various things from both other regions as well as the fellow islands. The head of the island is known as Keaka, and she works to make sure that the island maintains a good appearance for those who visit the island. Most outsiders are not allowed past this island due to restrictions and previous incidents that have occurred.

Sapphire is the main island that holds the 'main leader' of the islands altogether. It is known for its medical prowess and technology that nowhere else can provide quite like they can. Dianne is the one intended to be the current head, however, Sylvia, her mother, has taken the role instead. Despite Sylvia being the head of the island, most claim that Curio is the true one keeping all the islands working together properly. He is considered the backbone of the Archipelago.

Ruby, the island of fighting. The natives have learned to fight greatly over the generations, and have techniques that while not expected, provide advantages in ways that modern techniques can’t. Sophia is the head of this island, and is the one that makes sure that the island's defenses are always at peak quality. It is rare to get a chance to actually learn from the people, as people must be considered worthy for it to even be considered.

Amber, the island of engineering. Having created a number of various things over the generations, a number of advancements for technology came from here. It is known for being where the next generation of innovators tend to come from. Simon is the head of this island, and while he doesn't understand the technology as much as he would like to, he is great at motivating the engineers and coming up with new base ideas for them to work off.

Onyx, the island of crime. Having supposedly once been a different color, the land became unusable for its initial purpose which led to it getting deserted. Criminals, upon seeing that there is prime land to hide out in, took it as their own. Brianne has claimed to be the head of the island, however, whoever has the Jewel is considered to be the head. Brianne has had it for the longest time as of recent, and makes sure the people of the island still have the chance to survive despite the not-so-great climate of the island.

I JUST got to finishing up the interest checker. But just as a warning to everyone, I highly doubt we're done adding muses. Some characters you may expect to see soon may include the following:

Metal Sonic. Yes him. Chara kept him from being a coat hanger anymore and they're friends now.

Chip/Light Gaia. Good boy is best boy. He deserves love.

Fang? Moreso a maybe but mostly because I'd find it funny-

Chaos is very likely, especially since there's an arc outside of canon in our drafts that would need input from the the watery one.

Omochao purely to yeet-

Maria. I will likely be the one to pick her up and she'll probably be outside of expected norms of her sudden existing compared to normal.

Some OCs here:

An athletic smartass named Kimelle that is part of the friend group the Campbells have. She's long overdue if anything-

Asriel is also overdue, Chara's brother. Most characters relatives are already on here and I'm fairly sure he's the last one that needs added.

A quiet sheep florist named Eun that is trying to just not screech cause of Eggman RUINING her pants.

Some of the heads of the other islands for the Jewel Archipelago. This includes a dog named Keaka and a kangaroo named Sophia. This is the section that needs the most additions so there will likely be more than just these two but they are the ones I wanna get added first.

One (1) asshole named Julia that is Lucas's ex purely for screeching purposes.

Even though I already made a fanon Experiment 630 by the name of Keaka(yes he's inspired off of Dark Gaia), it's tradition for Lilo and Stitch fans to draw the mysterious but yet deadly powerful Dark End on the 30th of June, despite the experiment not being the official 630 and is made by someone else. Here is Dark End and Keaka together for the last day of Stitch month 2023. I usually call Dark End they/them since they have different genders in the English and Japanese versions of the Stitch anime, but I would probably give Dark End she/her pronouns, since they do look like a girl more than a dude.
