Little Flint raised his arms up. Making grabby hands, indicating he wants to be lifted up. Then came the questions that almost every smeet wants to ask their tallest.

“How tall are you? Why are there so many of us clustered together in the smeetery? Do I get to play outside when I’m done studying? Why do you look so old? What’s the surface like? Will my antennae be as long as yours? When is snack time? And can you tell me a story please, my tallest?”

Cini's eyes widened. He was overwhelmed by all the questions. He was obligated to answer and answer truthfully. After a long, awkward pause, he took a breath and attempted to reply. "I'm very tall. Taller than any other Irken in the empire." It was rude to ask a tallest that question, but he decided it was best not to scold or shame Flint for asking. He was just a smeet after all.

"The mother brain always keeps the Irken empire full of Irkens." he continued, "More irkens means more future victories and more chances for our species to explore new galaxies. We Irkens are a social species. We help each other and protect each other. We're supposed to anyhow." He wished that first answer was as true and sincere as he pitched his voice to sound.

"When you're done studying in the holo-visor hubs, you will have so many new things to see and experience. It will be exciting, especially at first, trust me." That time, he felt more confidentin his answer. He remembered being so excited to leave the smeetery and begin basic training.

His brow knitted. He didn'tappreciate the attention given to his wrinkles. "I AM old. My wardrobe staff does their best, but they can only mask so much. When you're as old as me, you start to look old."

He took a breath and collected his thoughts. "The surface is very vast and fascinating. The wind feels nice when it blows on your cheeks and the stars and moons are very dazzling when viewed in person...the surface has its charms, but it's full of challenges. You will miss the security of the smeetery after you're above ground a while...Your antenna are pretty long long, in relation to your body. They will probably stay long as you grow taller." Cini's squeedily spooch growled. "Your coddle drone will announce when it's time for snacks. Hopefully, it's soon or I will have to hail my coordinator so he can bring us snacks."

Cini took a long pause. Coming up with good answers for this little infinite storage unit of curiosity was starting to drain his energy. Normally, he had a database of stories to tell, but were any of them appropriate for a smeet to hear? "Would you rather hear a story about something that happened to me, a story that took place in my past or a story from our history you haven't yet reviewed in the holo visor hub?" He decided to give the smeet a choice and work from there.

Chilchuck is such a fascinating character, because every time you learn something new about him, it’s like you’re being punched in the gut. Like, the first time you see him, you’re all “Aww, look at this lil’ guy. Isn’t he cute? Aw, he hates being treated like a kid. He’s probably already in his late teens or early twenties or something. One of those Older Than They Look type characters right?”

And then you find out that he’s almost thirty. He’s older than Laios. And you’re like, okaaaaay, that’s a little older than I expected, but that definitely explains why he hates being treated like a kid so much.

And then much, much later you find out that he has a wife and kids. And you’re just sitting there like, huh, okay. Okaaaaay. Well, this really, really, really explains why he doesn’t like being treated like a kid. He’s a dad. He’s experienced the ups and downs of parenthood. He’s the only character in the group that’s canonically had sex. Okay. Yeah. Wowza.

And then shortly after you find out that he’s his race’s equivalent of a middle-aged man, and it’s like, okaaaaay. That recontextualizes a lot of things. He’s a middle-aged man trapped in a twelve-year-old’s body. Okay. Yeah. Wowee. Gee willickers.

And you think that’s it. You think that nothing else could top that. And then the bicorn chapter comes rolling in with a steel chair and you find out that his wife left him and all three (count that, three) of his daughters are fully grown adults. And as you’re reeling back from all of this new information, they deliver one last final slap to your face.

Chilchuck was a teen parent.

But what makes this all so funny, so fascinating, is that Chilchuck arguably has the most normal backstory out of anyone in the group. And if he was literally any other race, tallman, elf, dwarf, whatever, this information would still be surprising, sure, but it wouldn’t hit the same way it does when he’s a half-foot. Ryoko Kui really said, You know what would be funny? If I made the party’s token grumpy middle-aged man, father of three, look like this:

And she's right. It's very funny.

I wanted to tell you that I loved those tallest paper doll design templates you drew a while back! They remind me of the dress up games on azaleasdolls that I occasionally mess around on, RIP adobe flash

These? Oh man! I almost forgot I did these. Thank you! Feel free to use them for whatever.

I always wanted to make an Adobe flash (or whatever is comparable now) doll game for Irken ocs. Never enough verity in features.

If nothing else, I bought a laminator and never tried to use it. If I get a productive adhd brain day in the near future I should update these, correct them and try to make some real paper dolls.

another one that I'm not super happy with, but continuing to mess with it isn't going to help! so here he is! 🦇 there was a lot I was trying to get across in this one, so uhhhhh hopefully it reads.

we're almost out of unique magics now...just Ace (and maybe Grim?) left!
