Tell me a fun fact about your favorite Kalon or OC:
marx has to be my fave kal, apart from lazarus & kenzo. love that guy 😭 he's so silly! a fun fact about him is that he really loves eating passionfruit, but is allergic to it so he usually has to be wheeled to the kal hospital. thank god they have free healthcare.

I'd like to give a compliment to Safe_Haven!
So I am like super serious about this, you are by far one of my favorite artists in the community, and I legit get excited whenever you open nursery slots or post a new batch you completed because you are so talented and I just love your style!
You are also a really cool person, and I'd love to talk with you more (if I can just get over my awkward and shyness, Lol), but seriously you are so nice and someone I could totally vibe with :3

Give yourself a compliment:
Okay Nic, time to give urself a compliment!
You have had a very difficult time through life, especially over the last year, but you are doing amazing trying to improve your mental health on your own and allowing yourself to be your own true and honest self. You are finally in a place where you feel like you can openly have your own opinions and express yourself the way that feels right to you. I know it's hard, but the progress you have made already is amazing and I hope that you keep going because I can't wait to know the you I have never been able to be.

Tell me a fun fact about your favorite Kalon or OC:
Aaaah, I know I'm always, like always, either talking about or sharing my girl Jamie, but I have never loved a character of mine as much as her.
Okay, so a fun fact about Jamie is that whenever I draw her as a human I draw her with vitiligo. It's how I've almost always have seen her since I got her. And I designed her vitiligo to mimic her markings, and even though it's symmetrical on her face, it isn't on other places of her body.
(I'm still experimenting with her human design, but here's an older drawing I did of her so you can get an idea of what she'd look like as a human and how I see her ---> Jamie <3)

Give yourself a compliment: It's been a hard year, but I'm pulling it together. I've face obstacles and despite that, I'm still going. It's hard and it's not fun, and I feel like it's a slow start, but I should be proud of myself for continuing to push through it. I can do this man!

Tell me a fun fact about your favorite Kalon or OC: roscoe!! fun fact about him, his character was based on geralt from the witcher! i love the dynamic between geralt and his horse roach, so i tried to incorporate those aspects into roscoe's character:) i also based his personality a lot on geralt as well!! i just love gruff silent characters who seem really scary but are just kind of lonely. he's one of my favorite kals!!

Tell me a fun fact about your favorite Kalon or OC: I have a LOT of favourites, but I'll talk about Solomon briefly! Mainly bc my dnd party is getting to parts where they're involved (all my Kals have humanoid forms in my fantasy multiverse heehoo). They were formerly the ruler of a resplendent desert empire, but through their own folly, it fell to darkness. Specifically, they tried to wield a fragment of a goddess, but they were too overzealous. In doing so, they cursed both themself and their lands. They no longer age, no longer have a heartbeat, and no longer need to eat or drink. Time-telling devices break in their presence. Their capitol wasn't so lucky. Everyone within the city of Ashwadi died in the ensuing explosion of dark magic... only to rise again as undead the next night, and each night after that. The sand turned black. Without its crown jewel, the empire crumbled. Locals now call Ashwadi the Black Sand Sea, and know to avoid it at all costs.
