WOOOO! Done just in time! @kirbyoctournament

Name: Olympea, the Pummeling Peacekeeper

Gender: She-himbo, She/Her

Age: Never ask a woman her age! (She's an adult.)

Occupation: Warrior/Hero of Yore

Species: Puffball/Starborn/Star Child/whatever the Kirby species is called.

Uh-oh, due to a temporal anomaly the Hero of Yore Olympea suddenly finds herself transported alive and well from Ancient Halcandra to the Kirby OC tournament! She doesn't know what's going on, but she'll roll with the punches and treat it like a fun dream vacation of sorts. She does like meeting all sorts of new people and trying new foods, weapons and technology. She'll have so many stories to tell her friends when she returns! It's probably for the best if she doesn't learn what disaster befell the four heroes in the regular timeline, though...

Some ground rules, just in case:

I would love seeing people's OC's interact with her! Asking Olympea questions is okay, but this is not an ask blog/rp blog and I'm not looking for extended roleplay. I may not answer your question. If I see potential for an interesting interaction I may draw it, but I can't promise anything. (Keep in mind if I don't respond right away -> 1: I'm timid and get anxious easily. 2: I may not have figured out that part of her story/the history of Ancient Halcandra yet. 3: The answer would have contained a spoiler for my fics. 4: I'm very slow at drawing.)

I'm joining this tournament for fun, so thank you for understanding!

Overview:

While she's not very big, intellectual or attuned to magic, she is unbeatably chipper and physically strong. She loves fighting and gleefully uses a variety of lovely accessories/weapons like a giant club, enchanted glaive, magitech gauntlets, etc. Her left glove allows her to access a dimensional storage. Teases hard, punches even harder. Actually quite feminine when off the clock. Loves magitech gadgets a lot. Doesn't think science or magic is better, because their society needs both. She's definitely not insecure about her height. She'd also never conjure a giant squeaky hammer to bop you over the head if you call her short.

Likes: Vegetables, Nectar, Trying new foods, The colour green, Flowers, Butterflies and moths, Pretty/cool/badass women, Her club, Brass knuckles, Tinkering, New gadgets, Teasing her friends, Seeing a certain winged magenta knight open up and feel genuine joy

Dislikes: Being mistaken for a child, Being called stupid, Stuck-up people, Seeing her friends being hurt, Strangers flicking her antennae, How much dust and scales her wings leave behind

Abilities: Able to fly. Very physically strong. Innately has access to Suplex and Hammer, but mainly uses her trusty club. Her boots and gauntlets let her emulate elements of Hi-jump, Laser and Mecha. (The boosted jump, laser finger guns and palm blasts, respectively.)

Weaknesses: Can't fly quickly. Stubby little arms limit her great strength with little reach. Distractable and a little naive. Can't resist eating strange and exotic snacks no matter the source. Seeing cute girls (she HAS to show off).

Fighting Style:

Her gauntlets are good for punching and the palms can release blasts of energy as well. They're mainly so she can hold large weapons well, since her actual hands aren't very big.

Her moth wings aren't very big either, so while she can normally fly and can still break her fall when she's armoured, she prefers to zip around close to the ground. It's often faster and easier to run and jump when she's fighting. Especially when she's wielding her heavy club. Her boots help her boost and maneuver quickly.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that because she prefers close range combat and isn't proficient with magic she can't attack at a distance. Her gauntlets possess finger laser guns and she can use her left glove (which she also wears under her gauntlet) to access her weapon hoard at all times. Who knows what else she keeps in there?

Even her civilian outfit isn't harmless. She still has access to her innate Suplex and Hammer abilities, after all. And those shoes have steel toes! Of course, the platform heels are just to keep her delicate wings from scraping across the ground when folded. No other reasons. (Like being taller.)

Design Thoughts:

Olympea is the first of the Heroes of Yore who came to me. I was thinking about how to describe the Heroes of Yore and knew I wanted at least one to be a woman. Suddenly her name resounded through my head! Then I just started associating. Olympea sounds like Olympics, so she must be strong. Pea calls to mind small, round and green, so what if she's (mostly) the same species as Galacta Knight? Peas are famous for research on genetics and alleles, so what if she was born, not formed like him? Maybe she doesn't have a lot of magical affinity. Then she needs weapons. Pea, peace, pea shooters, peas in a pod, peacemaker, pea-smacker. Let's give her a hammer, no, a club! She's strong, so what if she packs a punch? How about some gauntlets for punching? She can have a gun, wait, let's put the gun (pea shooter!) in her gauntlet's finger! She needs storage for her weapon hoard (girl needs to accessorise!) so what if her enchanted gauntlets let her access dimensional storage (peas in a pod)? Hmmm, does she have wings? There's a bug called a pea moth, so she has moth wings now. Her ponytail is twisted like a dried pea pod and not-so-coincidentally looks a bit like a cocoon when down and a boxing glove while up in a bun.

I maaay have gone completely overboard with the whole pea thing, but such is life. Although there is a bit of Hammer Lord in there as well. She doesn't hate magic, she just doesn't have a lot of affinity for it. She does enjoy tinkering and building weapons. This is how she ended up relying mostly on technology instead of magic.

She's not a knight and has no mask, because while many people depict all adult puffballs as masked knights (probably influenced by the Star Warriors from the K:RBAY anime) I personally don't think this has to be universal for their kind. How sad it would be if all they were destined for was fighting! ...And then I made her a warrior anyway. Oh well.

A walking, steam-powered vardo lurches over a yellow-flowered marsh and under a sky of curious stars. Red, sparkling smoke rises from its chimney. Muddy footsteps are left in its wake like the trail of a mechanical dragon. It seems like a place of magic, which is fair, as it's the home of a witch. She sits with a lit pipe and a tabby cat purring on her lap, quietly contemplating a distant, stolen song. Even in the peace of the moment, her mind is alight with grand schemes and dreams of adventure.

In the capital of a thousand peoples, there stands a detective office lit by golden lamps. It's busy - goblins, elves, and lizardfolk rushing every which way in hopes of managing the many crimes wrought by rogue mages. At its heart resides a beat of calm in the eye of the storm - an opulent office out of place for its cushy decorations and color coding fit for a palace. This is also fair, as working at its desk is a prince of sorts. The prodigal heir to divine contracts and a deadly curse. He shudders at the knowledge of his bloody fate, yet pursues it nonetheless.

On the side of a lonely road, in a lonely land, under stars that are not curious, but disappointed, lays a wreck of bronze and steel. It bleeds black on green. It is confused by this. Where is the red? Where is the pain? It remembers another place - gray and icy and riveted. It remembers two eyes surrounded by shadows and a grin hanging in the dark like a half-moon. Hate closes in like a frigid wind, piercing through any amount of heart or compassion. It will have revenge.

Tropes include slow burn romance, revenge quests, magic as a science, and mad scientists. Genre is fantasy steampunk.

Snappier character descriptions include a braggadocious redneck mage with a chip on her shoulder the size of a mountain, a prissy, gossip-loving detective with a deadly curse, and a sweetheart of a maybe-robot with some terrifying instincts hidden behind a fog of amnesia. All of them, due to personal quests, will end up banding together to defeat a would-be demigod, facing cunning traps, summoning ritual shenanigans, and their own conflicting personalities. Will they survive? Will they join the villain? Who's to say? All I can assure is that if they fail, it'll at least be in a blaze of glory.

Heavily inspired by the Foundryside Trilogy and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

I'll tag @spideronthesun @kaylinalexanderbooks @ominous-feychild @galactic-mystics-writes and anyone else who wants to play!

Cracking the Advertising Code: Why High-Quality Leads Start with High-Quality Content

📢 The New Rules of Advertising: What You Need to Know

In today’s digital world, advertising is both an art and a science 🎨🧬. With platforms like Meta and Instagram continuously evolving (hello, AI 👋), the way we approach ads has changed. But one thing remains constant: the importance of high-quality content.

🔄 Advertising: A Continuous Cycle of Monitoring and Adjustment

You can't just throw up an ad and expect it to perform like magic ✨. Successful campaigns require constant attention. Monitoring, adjusting, and fine-tuning are the names of the game. Advertising is about solving the puzzle of what works — and when you find it, you scale it.

Meta and Instagram have introduced AI to suggest ads to users, making it tougher to target as specifically as we could before. But don’t stress! There’s still a lot you can control, especially when you focus on creative, high-quality content. The more creative and on-point your content, the better your results will be. 💥

🎯 Different Campaigns, Different Goals

Not all campaigns are created equal. There are awareness campaigns (getting your name out there) and lead generation campaigns (getting those precious leads). Every business owner wants leads, right? It’s what keeps the wheels turning.

The secret? Delivering a clear, concise message to the right people. The more basic and consistent your offer is, the easier it will be to reel in high-quality leads. And don’t forget — less control over targeting means you need to be even more precise about understanding who your audience is. Define your ideal client, and you’ll be halfway there. 🏆

💭 Who Are You Talking To?

Ask yourself these key questions:

Who is this ad for?

What product or service am I offering them?

Who is the ideal client?

If you can’t answer these, your campaign will struggle. Be crystal clear on these points, and your ads will start performing better than ever.

⚙️ Experimentation is Key!

Some campaigns will hit the mark immediately. Others? Not so much. But that’s okay! Advertising is about testing and learning. If you’re working with an ad agency, stay involved. Offer feedback, and make sure they know what’s working and what isn’t.

📢 Final Thoughts

Advertising is all about precision and persistence. Stay in the loop, be willing to make adjustments, and watch your leads grow. 💥 Like this post? Share, reblog, and let’s keep the conversation going! 🗣️

[pruskita]

For any Kirby oc! 💫🪄⚡️⚙️⚖️🦋

First of all, a big apology for posting this late, I just didn't know how to respond And to answer these questions I will use Mitty and Natsumi o Nachi

🪄 (Magic Wand) - Are they capable of wielding magic? Is it a learned skill, or is it innate? What sorts of spells can they cast? Do they possess any magical items or artifacts? [e.g. the Dimensional Mantle]

If both can use magic to some To some extent, Mitty can using fire magic involves creating it and also controlling it, Nachi can use air and wind by making things float or giving gusts of wind.

💫 (Shooting Star) - If they were to wish on a clockwork star, like Galactic Nova or Star Dream, what would they wish for?

⚡️ (Lightning Bolt) - Which Power Effects [Blizzard, Bluster, Sizzle, Splash, Zap] would their attacks grant? Do they have any particular weaknesses or resistances, elemental or otherwise?

I think Nachi would be a blizzard If there is any disadvantage it would be to use it in closed places since there would be no way for the air to escape, and Mitty would be a fire Clearly his weakness would be water.

⚙️ (Gear) - Do they have any knowledge of, or connections to, the Ancients? What do they think of them?

Nope, none of them are connected to the ancients, but Nachi believes that they will colonize a large part of the galaxy and leave various things of theirs On the other hand, Mitty believes that the ancestors are not what they say and believes that they stole technology from other cultures or that they simply do not exist.

⚖️ (Scales) - On the subject of a certain someone’s lengthy rant; is your OC moreso on the side of magic or science? Somewhere in-between? Do they incorporate the two together in some way?

Both are more affiliated with magic than science, but that does not mean that they use combinations of both sometimes or that they have a bit of technology that helps with their magic.

🦋 (Butterfly) - Does your OC ‘fear the reaper’, so to speak? If they fused with Morpho Knight, what sort of form would they take on

If both of them, because of what they have been taught in their lives, are afraid of the reaper, they know that if they see it it will be a misfortune or the death of someone.

You don't have to read this to enjoy the story, but here is some background about the set up of my world and the rules that I've set for myself to (try to) abide by as I write. This is for my Professor Shang Tsung story idk if it's written anywhere in here.

💚🐍💀🔥 Locations.

The idea is that magic coexists with the science of this world but, science is more accessible because not everyone has great magical ability. (Reader) is a part of the generation of youth that's been making the two worlds intermingle.

The continents of this world are:

Earthrealm🌍

Outworld👑

SeaRealm🌊

LightRealm☄️

ChaosRealm⚔️

Seido⚙️

The Netherrealm ☠️is replaced by Otherrealm which is the place that most people go when they die.

Elderrealm/Alterrealm☁️ will stand in place of The Heavens as the place where all deities and pantheons reside. People who abide by their god's rules are allowed into their 'alter-pockets' instead of the standard afterlife in Otherrealm. These are the pocket dimensions owned by the individual deities that have enough power to make them.

Dreamrealm 💤is a plane of the mind.

💚🐍💀🔥 Geography.

Outworld👑 and Earthrealm are connected in a similar fashion like Europe and Asia are, with Earthrealm being the smaller part and connected to Outworld but divided by mountain ranges.

Earthrealm🌍 is like a pangea version of our modern map, Outworld is the map from Deception with the land masses combined.

Sea Realm🌊 is like the Polynesian islands, except the volcanoes from which their islands spawn tend to be massive shield volcanoes.

LightRealm's☄️ continent floats mostly in the sky over open water. There is a mountain range out north west of Earthrealm that you have to climb to reach its lowest floating isles. As the isles get higher up, they get further out, and bigger, until you reach the actual LightRealm mainland/continent. There are 4-7 smaller isles that lead up to it.

ChaosRealm⚔️, also known as the Anarchy Region, is distant from the Earthrealm/Outworld landmass and stationed right on the curve of the globe. Before the times of anarchy, the lands were referred to as Ra's Eye, because its position leaves it in near permanent sunlight. Its shape is as depicted by the Deception map.

Seido ⚙️is a broad flat slab, of raised land in the middle of the ocean, located right on the equator. It always has exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. It also maintains its Deception map format.

Otherrealm, Alterrealm, and Dreamrealm hold no specific physical location or landscape.

💚🐍💀🔥 History.

🌍Earthrealm's history is a very prosperous, well-rounded one. All the continents as we know them are much closer together. There have been many civil wars etc, with everything being so close but it has settled nicely. A multitude of different cultural provinces sprung up according to magical specialties, as with everywhere else. They are home to the Technomagical convergence. Quite a few of the people who wanted to create Seido came from here.

☄️Lightrealm was connected to Earthrealm ages ago, but through some unknown force either natural or magical, the connecting land was destroyed. It is well known that they prefer their privacy and the magic that keeps it in the sky is completely undisclosed and hidden to the masses. Maintained by their oligarchy, the magicians there are bred to live posh, soft lives so that their magic can flourish without any one class of people becoming overwhelmed. They are vacation and relaxation capital of the world and their floating isles have untold luxuries.

☄️Generations ago, Arnyek was located atop the plateau where Seido currently is. The landmass was even bigger, having rolling hills with impressive Kytinn hives. However, after becoming over-populated and attempting to wage war with the Dragon Kingdom of Outworld, the wrath of Great Dragon King Onaga I was provoked. In his fury and a final hail mary to end a war that spanned 3 decades, he summoned all the strength of his life force and struck the landmass with a meteor. Due to the sheer size and power of the meteor Arnyek was leveled and over half was sunken and swallowed by the sea. The Kytinn as a whole were eradicated with the exception of the few who escaped scattering across the globe. All that was left of Arnyek was a barren crescent shape on the ocean. The leading practical magicians and tech moguls of the world came together to use the 'Sea Crescent' as a jumping off point to build the man-made Gear of Seido.

🌊SeaRealm's people are known as some of the oldest living species other than the Dragons and the Edenians. They also have the most vast population. No republic, political entity, or warmonger in any recently recorded history has ever attempted to wage war with or steal their resources. Not only do they keep all water sources across the world in balance, but they also do not sink any sailing or submerged vessels *by choice*. They've always lived a pacifist lifestyle, though there was a single ambiguous incident in the past; An ancient Outworld leader that predates even the first Dragon King took a fleet of 1,000 of his largest vessels with the hopes of plundering the treasures known to be hidden in SeaRealm. Every single one vanished without a trace. The name of the King and his vessels was lost to history, but his stupidity was not. SeaRealm didn't even acknowledge *whatever* happened and never discontinued trade or penalized anyone Outworld. That perhaps, told the world all they needed to know.

⚔️The Anarchy Region, aka ChaosRealm is in a permanent power struggle and civil war. The original Sun Kingdom once lived peacefully and was home to the Osh-Tekk, the Centaurians, the Tarkatans, and the Shokan. Things were thrown into turmoil when insurgents between the four groups began levying for power. As the war worsened, those residents who weren't willing to die for a cause that they had no say in, relocated to Outworld as refugees.

👑Outworld Republic is run by the monarchs of several royal families. They have had a peace covenant that served to keep up the highly lucrative trading agreements in place. They were once similar to ChaosRealm in that their nations lived in permanent turmoil, but due to the rise and reign of Great Dragon King Onaga I, a campaign for peace was enforced instead. Dragon King Onaga I is referred to as 'The Great', because he is the diplomat who spoke to all of Outworld's leaders to initiate peace. His generations have since continued to help maintain peace as respected leaders of the Dragon Nation.

💚🐍💀🔥 Demographics.

🌍Earthrealm: 60% Human, 40% Other. Species come from across the globe to learn about Technology. They have more Kytinn refugees than any other location. Fluctuating population, favoring slow increase.

👑Outworld Republic: Is just a blanket term for the multiple harmonious societies that reside there.

Edenians, Vampires, Naknadan, Osh-Tekk, Tarkatan, Shokan, Dragons, Centaurians, and Saurians all live in multi-cultural regions. Since peace has been in effect, so has open travel. The amount of each group is hard to ascertain. There are also many mixed sub groups; Shaurkan, NaknaVamp, Tark-Oshtekk etc. They are all classed as Outworlder. Like Earthrealm, fluctuating population.

☄️LightRealm: Marriage to a native LightRealmer is mandatory for non-tourist, non-restrictive, residence here, hence the lowered percent of other. The residents of LightRealm refer to LightRealm as Apollus and themselves as Apollites (think Apollo from Greek mythology). 70% Apollite, 20% Oni, Edenian, Human, Geo-Elementals specifically, 10% Other. Stable population.

🌊SeaRealm: They are perhaps the most biodiverse group, but refer to themselves as only one name: the Amanzi. All who go with peace and love in their hearts to live and work there are considered Amanzi as well. Their actual total population is unknown, but they receive anywhere from a quarter to half a million emigrants per year. Increasing population.

⚔️ChaosRealm: Another region that has no confirmed headcount. An estimated 65% percent of the population has either left or died trying. The remaining stubborn warriors and officials are of course Centaurians, Shokan, Osh-Tekk, and Tarkatan. Declining population.

⚙️Seido: Many people work and live here, but it's more of an organized invention and manufacturing haven. Population exactly 1,000,000.

💚🐍💀🔥 Culture.

🌍🌍Earthrealm produces the least amount of magically inclined people and as a result invented technology to grow alongside magic. They have long had inventions of pure technology that leveled the playing field for non-magicals. In the last hundred years or so, people have been advancing in both and making technology that runs off of magic or combination magic and standard supplies (oil, gas, electric etc.) Moving here to learn technology as a skill or trade is gradually becoming more common place. Magical and Non-magicals alike place high value on their lineage and skills. Extremely low divorce rate, and not getting married is in general not ideal unless you are in a *Non-Marital Union. Crime is low because if you commit one, your family as a whole will bear the costs. Every single income within the immediate bloodline will be garnished. Immediate bloodline is considered parents (and their siblings, plus your own brothers and sisters. Too many crimes or too severe a crime and your family will be presented with the option to legally disassociate/disown you. If this happens, they don't have to keep paying but they will be unable to visit you in jail or prison custody once sentencing hearings are over.

👑👑Outworld is the largest and most diverse of all the continents on the planet. Its people live in an ever growing era of prosperity, maintained by the royal families that reside there. House of Dragon, House of Eden, House of Blood, and House of Saurus are the four major royal houses in their part of the world. Their capitals are named Draconus, Edenia, Vaeternus, and Zaterra. Draconus, also known as "Fruit of the Dragon" is home to Onaga X, a descendant and successor of the original Outworld ruler. Edenia is run by Argus, a deity who gave up his godhood to live among mortals and lead the people, and his wife Fire Prophetess Delia the most talented clairvoyant currently living. Vaeternus is matrilineal and run by not one queen but a unit of about 2 dozen. They communicate telepathically and run a tight ship, with the best schools for blood magic being there. Zaterra is run by a sole Queen, but she is very reclusive and only interacts through her trusted proxies. There are several other species that are governed by lower chiefs and leaders. Across Outworld, intermarrying and international travel and schooling are all greatly encouraged. Art, metal work, and craftsmanship are the most valued type of work here. Growth and prosperity, without war means that there is no poverty, low disease, and no homelessness. Wealth is pretty common, but classism and caste systems can definitely cause social conflict.

☄️☄️LightRealm, (known to inhabitants as Apollus) is very different from the other realms due to its geographic anomalies. There are hanging gardens and reverse waterfalls that are controlled by dark magic. Although, known as LightRealm to non-natives, the people of Apollus teach the importance of balance through light and dark magic. It got its name because light magic is its most visible trait, but the mechanics of dark magics such as gravity and atmospheric magic makes it possible for them to live their lives. They prioritize decadence and encourage community sharing responsibilities. That's how everything is maintained; they all live in clusters of farms and clean up together, which makes it easier. Food, water, clothing, and shelter are all free for natives but the tourist locations are extremely costly. They want to keep war and conflict out of their lifestyle, which means to them, limiting how many non-natives can come and live and make decisions as part of their community units. Leisure, such as massages, bath houses, and fine dining are a norm and are the highest paying professions when performed for those foreign to the land. Communal though they may be, when it comes to outsiders they are very guarded. It's not easy to marry into a LightRealm family, which is required for citizenship. It's not frowned upon, but there will be a lot of people to answer to; As they are community driven they don't take kindly to outsiders trying to push into their lifestyles and governing body, especially when marriage is used to do so. If you should violate a LightRealm marriage covenant you could full well be exiled and denied further access to the entire land. With that said, they have no such involvement in the affairs of long-term residents and expats who are from elsewhere.

🌊🌊Most pure-blood SeaRealmers are semi-aquatic and spend a great deal of time under the water, whereas those who are mixed with land faring species populate the coasts and low-lying lands only. Should a volcanic eruption begin to pose a threat, the demi-god Blaze can quell the volcano and keep the people safe. They revere him there, for both the life giving essence and destructive power of the volcano. Any and everyone is welcome and as a result they have the fast growing population anywhere. Because of their peaceful stance on all issues and their water cleaning and waste management initiatives, they are allowed free residence in all parts of the world, even ChaoRealm before it plunged into perpetual war.

⚔️⚔️The Anarchy Region has no culture. A bloody war of who is the strongest of the four legendary warrior species (and a few forgotten sub-species) is all that takes place. Before, When it was the Sun Kingdom, they all grew and ate drought tolerant plants, hunted in the wastelands, and worshipped in the mountains. The presence of a tropical jungles around the coasts provided biodiversity in fruit, veggies, and a fast-multiplying invasive hog species that served as an excellent protein source that prevented over-fishing. The only thing known about the insurgent groups that sprung up, is that they feel that only the strong deserve to rule and hosted/encouraged underground tournaments in which people fought to the death like in the Old Days.

⚙️⚙️The Gear of Seido, aka Orderrealm is a giant techlab that hosts engineers and mathematicians who are dedicated to solving major world mysteries and creating products that enhance people's lives. The finest minds in the world both live and work here, and it is NOT easy to get in. Certain colleges pay for tours and internships here year round but even that doesn't guarantee entry. The entire population is split evenly for each demographic; sex, species, age group, and education level etc. Everyone literally gets the exact same housing and access to resources.

⚙️ GEAR - what are your ocs thoughts on science & art? which do they give more importance to? how much value do they place on each?

( what are your ocs thoughts on science & art? which do they give more importance to? how much value do they place on each? )

also asked by @liegebound

He places relatively equal emphasis on science and art, interpreting their values in different ways from the standpoint of both a ruler and an individual.

Art for example equates to visual manifestations of culture and creativity; an indulgence that only countries with fully contented needs or otherwise enjoying a booming economy can partake in en masse. Marth sees art then as the standing evidence of peace. Even if he's no special connoisseur, even if he won't be the one to usher in a renaissance in this field, the connotations and meaning of art is something he appreciates. A meter of success that he even seeks for. Art signifies a land no longer held in a vice grip of war, the simple fact that it can flourish means that a king has done his job.

Science on the other hand bears an interpretation swayed by his experiences with people both evil and good, not to mention his roots as an Archanean. In Archanea it's no secret that the greatest medical and technological advancements are born through magic, and so magic in turn is virtually equatable to science. But when Marth thinks of his encounters with the Dark Pontifex in his wars, he recognizes an insidious employment of 'science' that returned the Shadow Dragon to life. That sundered men from their stalks like wheat through the Imhullu, created Gharnef's clones in Thabes, or brought seven kingdoms to their knees in a great and successive fall of domino blocks.

Science as he's seen it is fearsome. Marth dislikes it in truth, but it's a coin with two sides. Lena, Maria, Merric, Linde, Wendell, Gotoh; simple clerics and collegiate mages of Khadein alike teach him that magical science is not always wielded with bad intentions, that it even remains necessary to be understood for the sake of a safer humanity. Its common uses taught as much as its darkest secrets protected.

In the years following their second war, it's revealed that Elice and Merric—Marth's very own sister and brother-in-law—pilot a magic academy in the Pales capital. Marth wouldn't have subsidized a school of magic in the heart of Archanea, a locale with high visibility and historic value, if he didn't understand its importance. Wouldn't have allowed his closest familial associates to pursue this dream away from Altea if he didn't recognize the necessity. Because Marth has respect for magic, because he has a healthy balance of wariness and judgement, he is able to accept these decisions.

[pinkestmenace]

⚔️ (Crossed Swords) - What weapon(s) do they wield or specialize in, if any in particular? Any special properties? Do their weapons have names or epithets? [e.g. MK’s Galaxia, Morpho’s Doomblade]

🧋 (Boba Tea) - Come up with a Kirby Café item themed around your OC! It can be a savoury dish, a drink, a dessert, or something else entirely.

And, of course, a funny one,

⚙️ (Gear) - Do they have any knowledge of, or connections to, the Ancients? What do they think of them?

⚔️ (Crossed Swords) - What weapon(s) do they wield or specialize in, if any in particular? Any special properties? Do their weapons have names or epithets? [e.g. MK’s Galaxia, Morpho’s Doomblade]

There's her club, obviously. Which is exactly what it seems: a big, heavy, pointy object. You can smash things with it. Simple.

Then there's her gauntlets, of course. I've already shown this in a couple drawings, but the gauntlets aren't just for punching hard or giving her bigger hands. The palms can release blasts that serve to repel enemies or boost her. Her boots can do this too, to let her jump high or pivot quickly while wielding her heavy club. She's surprisingly mobile like that even if her wings can't quite carry the weight of her and her club together. She can also still access her dimensional storage while she wears them. (Handy to summon/put her club away quickly or switch weapons on the fly!) The pointer fingers also have the ability to shoot laser blasts. They can only do this when she makes a finger gun gesture, though. That way she can never shoot herself in the hand, just like she has to spread her hands fully to make the palm blasts. By the way, her actual hands are entirely inside the palm area, so her fingers are not inside the gauntlets fingers. Those are solid and entirely mechanical. She operates the gauntlets by pressing sensors inside the palm that correspond to each finger. They are pressure sensitive and give feedback to some extent, so with practice she can bend her gauntlet's fingers exactly as far with exactly as much force as she wants. (So she can actually grab and hold things instead of crushing everything instantly.) Would she name her gauntlets? You know what? She probably does have matching nicknames for them. I haven't come up with anything funny yet, though.

I know it's technically not a weapon, but now that I'm busy talking about her armour I might as well mention her helmet. Olympea, being mothlike, has antennae that give her an excellent sense of smell (for a couple highly specific things). The red parts on top of the 'horns' let air pass through to her antennae inside, which means she's still able to use this even when wearing her helmet. It also leaves space at the back for her wings to move.

🧋 (Boba Tea) - Come up with a Kirby Café item themed around your OC! It can be a savoury dish, a drink, a dessert, or something else entirely.

Aaaah! Coming up with a café food was so difficult! I didn't want to reach for the silly pea soup or club sandwich option again.

Anyway, enter the Mumbo-Jumbo Ice Cream Dream Combo! Made with raspberry, mango, matcha and smurf blue moon ice cream scoops arranged in a row and topped with respectively a galette and ruby chocolate roll, caramel shards and dark cherry, rock candy and lady finger, and salty liquorice rope and toasted mini marshmallows.

⚙️ (Gear) - Do they have any knowledge of, or connections to, the Ancients? What do they think of them?

Considering she lived on Halcandra, which I treat as the main hub of the Ancients before they fell apart into science and magic factions, you bet she does! I actually pepper what little dialogue I've given her with some Jambandran words. Of course, during the period where she was alive and well that wasn't quite Jambandran yet. That didn't come until after the schism, when the magic faction in hiding retained that dialect and the science faction changed until it was no longer recognisable.

But what does she think of them? Well, they're her people and she's one of their heroes, so she wants to keep them safe! She is not good at magic, so she leans towards the science (well, technology and gadgets) side. But just because she isn't very magically gifted doesn't mean she dislikes magic and magic users. If she knew how the tensions between the two camps would grow it would bother her very much.

It's weird you haven't completely stopped working yet and seem to still be able to go on for so long.

The human body can go without food and water for a week. Only without food for two to three months.

But you're a special case anyway. Died beheaded and brought back to life with a robot head.

You must be different anyway. Your robotic head must be somehow supplying your body with more nutrition/energy

" I don't know how it works. It isn't scientifically possible. But to be fair, my existence breaks the laws of currently known science. "

" It most likely is not possible, but you people seem to resort to some form of magic or witchcraft with these kinds of things. Perhaps that could be a temporary excuse. "

" People tend to fear what they don't understand, of course. The human mind can be quite a pathetic thing. I don't understand you lot. "
