Uncover the mysteries of your character's very beginning: were they crafted by divine sparks, forged in the fires of the core, or whispered into existence by unknown magics? Was it a grand ritual bathed in ancient magic, a chance encounter with a powerful entity, or something entirely unexpected? This prompt delves into the very moment your character's soul ignited.

Explore the motivations of your character’s summoners, the forces that brought your character into being, and the unique connection they share. Here are some ideas to help give inspiration:

The Setting: Was your character’s summoning a clandestine affair in a hidden chamber, a spectacle witnessed by crowds, or a solitary event amidst the wilderness?
The Purpose: Was your character created for a specific reason, brought to life out of curiosity, or something in between?
The Bond: Describe the relationship your character has with your summoner(s). Is it one of loyalty, servitude, or perhaps uneasy companionship?
The Price: Was your character’s creation without consequence, or did it come at a cost to your character or their summoner(s)?

Both rewards listed below offer valuable benefits, so choose the one that best suits your character's journey and your goals within the narrative.

You can complete this prompt a max of 3 times per character.

Suggestions For Kijikaiaku:

• To what extent does your character actively rely on Gaia's energy for their daily sustenance and well-being? Do they perform specific rituals or meditations to maintain their connection, or is it a more passive, subconscious dependence?
• Do certain traditions or teachings from previous War Alphas, Post-Thinners, or New Gen Kijikaiaku guide your character's decisions and actions? Perhaps a specific mentor figure left a lasting impression that they draw strength from.
• Does your character share a significant connection with another Kijikaiaku? Perhaps a bonded pair relies on each other for emotional support, shared tasks, or even survival. Explore the nature and benefits of this interdependence.

Suggestions For Subtalleons:

• Is your character still beholden to Yile's directives, or have they forged a path of autonomy? If they follow Yile's instructions, how does this dependence shape their daily tasks and interactions with Kijikaiaku?
• Perhaps your character finds solace and purpose in independent exploration and research. Do they rely on hidden libraries, forbidden archives, or even the wisdom of elder creatures to fuel their thirst for knowledge?
• Has your character formed a unique bond with a specific Kijikaiaku or another Subtalleon? Explore the challenges and benefits of this unlikely alliance, and how it influences your character's reliance on others.
• Maybe your character relies on their own intuition and evolving sense of morality. How do they navigate complex situations and choices without external directives, and what internal resources do they draw upon for strength and guidance?

This introspective prompt invites your character to delve into the soul and uncover the driving force that keeps them moving forward, the spark that ignites their perseverance in the face of any challenge. What motivations dance in their heart, urging them to push against the tide and embrace the journey? Draw or write your character in the middle of what represents their drive, whether it's practicing what they preach, or showing off to others, or taking time to themselves to focus on their motivations.

Consider:

• Dreams and Aspirations: Does your character harbor a burning dream they chase? Perhaps they desire to become a master artisan, unravel the mysteries of a forgotten temple, or even build a haven for the downtrodden.
• Responsibilities and Bonds: What binds your character to this world? Do they feel an obligation to protect their loved ones, their community, or even a sacred oath they swore? Maybe it's a promise to a dying mentor, a debt to a rescued friend, or a vow to uphold ancestral customs.
• Curiosity and Exploration: Does your character thirst for knowledge and experience? Are they driven by the insatiable desire to explore uncharted territories, delve into ancient lore, or discover the secrets hidden within themselves and the world around them?
• Legacy and Influence: Does your character yearn to leave their mark on the world? Do they dream of changing the course of history, inspiring others to follow their path, or creating a legacy that echoes through generations?
• Inner Demons and Redemption: Perhaps your character is driven by a deeper, darker purpose. Do they seek atonement for past mistakes, overcome a crippling fear, or conquer a personal demon that threatens to consume them?
• Simple Joys and Purpose: Some find meaning in the everyday moments. Does your character find joy in the simple act of creation, the warmth of community, or the beauty of nature? Perhaps their purpose lies in bringing light and laughter to others, tending to their garden, or simply cherishing the precious gift of life.

Inspiration Sparks:

• Mythological figures: Draw inspiration from the heroes and heroines of your favorite myths and legends. What drove them to face insurmountable odds and embark on epic journeys?
• Historical figures: Consider the real-life individuals who defied the status quo and shaped the course of history. What fueled their passion and unwavering dedication?
• Personal experiences: Reflect on your own life and the moments that ignited your passion or gave your life direction. Can you translate those experiences into your character's story?
• Unexpected sources: Look beyond the obvious! Perhaps a song lyric, a painting, or even a fleeting thought sparks a unique and compelling drive for your character.

Remember, there is no right or wrong answer. The most compelling motivations are often complex and multifaceted, driven by a combination of external forces and internal desires. Explore, experiment, and let your character's unique voice guide you. Unleash the driving force that propels your character forward on their extraordinary journey.

This prompt delves into the depths of your character's experiences, exploring their encounters with the ultimate fragility of life, whether it be their own or that of others. For Kiji and Tallies, the question becomes one of countless journeys through the vale of death, or a life nearly untouched by its icy embrace. This journey invites them to reflect on the impact these experiences have had on their life. Consider:

• Has your character ever faced death? Whether through accident or combat, has your character crossed the threshold and tasted the bitter sting of oblivion, even if only briefly?
• If your character has died, how many times? For Kiji and Tallies, the number of deaths may be a significant factor in shaping their perspective.
• Has your character witnessed the death of another? A friend, loved one, or even a stranger, has your character been present at the moment another being's life extinguished?

1. The Haunting Image: A single image, forever burned into your character's memory. The lifeless eyes of a friend or stranger, the chilling silence after a brutal battle.

2. The Unfinished Symphony: The world falls silent, a life cut short mid-stride. Your character witnessed the death of someone brimming with potential, a dream unfulfilled, a song left unsung. Does this ignite a passion within them to carry on the legacy of the deceased, or does it fuel a profound sense of helplessness in the face of fate?

This prompt delves into the heart of your character's journey, exploring their experiences with transformation, whether it be witnessing the rebirth of another or undergoing it themselves. For some, it may be a familiar process, a cycle of evolution and renewal. For others, it might be a single, awe-inspiring event forever etched in their memory. Consider:

• Has your character ever witnessed a rebirth? Have they seen a Kiji or Tally undergo a profound rebirth, emerging as something entirely new and different?
• Has your character experienced rebirth themself? Have they undergone a significant personal evolution, changing their physical form, abilities, or even their core identity?
• If your character has been rebirthed, how many times has it occurred? Was each rebirth the same, or did they experience different changes with each transformation?
• How has this experience impacted your character's view of the world? Do they see change as a natural part of the cycle, or do they fear the unknown that each rebirth brings?

2. The Eternal Cycle: Your character has witnessed countless rebirths, a seemingly endless dance of transformation. This constant change has instilled in them a deep sense of the impermanence of things. How has this perspective impacted their approach to life and their relationships with others? Do they find comfort in the cycle, or does it leave them feeling disconnected and numb?
