hi feeding my like . 3 total viewers . a silly clicker game / blink animation test as a somewhat filler for vitalis's backstory :0 vitalis blinks randomly every 1 to 10 seconds lol but also , you can click them ! and zuli ! also I forgot a few details when drawing them oops ;u; AND my artstyle is different again ... ☆ information ; name ; vitalis ( vie - tall - iss ) other names ; vi , vita , darling ( lorraine ) , vivi ( reai ) former names ; prophet , ' gods' chosen ' pronouns ; they / them orientation ; androromantic , demisexuaI age ; unknown . presumed to be around 17 . residence ; a small village near the pluvian mountains named ' petrichor ' . home to a tight - knit community of wayfarers , traders , hunters , and storytellers . alliance ; none birthplace ; unknown , but presumed to be that of a lost prophetic lineage . relations ; lorraine - ★★★★★ - adoptive mother zuli - ★★★★★ - familiar / companion reai eos - ★★★★☆ - friend , partial romantic interest cerona eos - ★☆☆☆☆ - adversary , former friend ☆ backstory ; their name hadn't always been vitalis ... it had been ... they had been called ... what was it ? actually , they couldn't quite remember . did they have a name , back then ? all they /could/ remember was how terrifying it was to have all of that pressure on them , in the place they used to live before petrichor . they didn't like to talk about their life before . it brought up bad memories ( the few they had ) , and made them feel sick just thinking about it . ' gods' chosen ' . that was the title they held . the first in a millennia to be born with the power to channel the gods' wishes . the prophesied prophet . and the terrible thing was , for all that they had meant to their family , it was their usefulness as a tool , not a being . they remember very vividly a day in which they were forced to sit in a dark room for hours so as to ' channel ' their abilities . they were blamed for not being stronger when they fell ill to a cold . and after that , the moment they said they felt better , they were whisked off to try and awaken powers in others , though it never worked . that was why they ran away . they had been twelve when the idea first came to them , that they could leave this place and never look back . they had been to scared to do it straight away then , though . it took a year before they really left . by the time they left , everyone was so distracted by the first prophecy - /their/ first prophecy , that it was laughably easy to slip away . with nothing but a satchel of coins and the clothes they bore on their back , they left and didn't look back once . it was after four weeks ( they assumed , it had mostly been a stumbling haze of walking and stopping in nearby towns or settlements to buy - or beg for - food ) that they reached petrichor . funnily enough , they happened to bump into lorraine as they were just exiting . they must have looked very disheveled , as lorraine ( " are you lost , darling ? you look a bit confused . " ) invited them to stay with her until the end of the cold season . a season grew into two , three , until they got used to life in petrichor . lorraine became more of a mother than their birth mother had ever - /could ever/ - be , and they rejoiced in the feeling of being loved for the first time . life in petrichor grew a steady rhythm . weekdays held adventures and exploration in the nearby woods , and weekends were full of chores around the house to help lorraine out while she bought cooking supplies or met up with an old friend stopping by in town. they weren't alone , either . whenever they left the town , they were more often than not accompanied by the eos twins , reai and cerona . while cerona was the headstrong younger sister who was both brain and brawn , reai was the more laid - back , calculating one of the two . he was often the one found restraining cerona from getting into fights . after around two years in petrichor , they had grown braver ... and foolish . perhaps too comfortable with their environment . following the rumours of a carbunclo nest in the woods . childishly , they assumed they would find treasure along with this nest . instead , they were faced with an aggressive felinaire . they remember vividly how cerona had been talking , about what , however , was lost to time . cerona stumbled . they saw a flash of bright mane , gold and flashing against the muted greens and browns . they didn't act fast enough . cerona lost her arm and blamed them for it . later , after cerona had been brought back to petrichor and the felinaire had been hunted down , they found the den . inside were six corpses of kits , and one tiny mewling bundle of fur . they took the felinaire kit before anyone could see , and raised it ( with the help of reai and lorraine . cerona refused to have anything to do with them since then ) themselves . accidentally maxed out the description oops all code / art / writing by / me btw :grin:
