lore notes
- grew up in a roving pack of mirrors not unlike those described in the official encyclopedia
- interpersonal conflict split the pack, and Maelstrom wandered off solo
- met Lapilli, who would become a partner for life
- enter Altostratus, Azurite, and Solar; then the hatchlings, Chalcedony & Riptide—and with that, a clan was born
- though both progens were technically leaders, Lapilli took on most duties in practice; Maelstrom, ever the loner, mostly didn’t feel the need to organize and helped around where needed
- the clan (later dubbed Viral Evolution) eventually dissolved due to a whole ’nother mess of interpersonal drama; following this, Maelstrom and Lapilli wandered the plaguelands on their own
- took on the surname “Virevo” in honor of the clan
- Lapilli has occasionally stuck her snout in other territories, namely the Tangled Wood, though she and Maelstrom are rarely apart long
- forever wandering the Abiding Boneyard
Archaeoraptor notes
Maelstrom, my guy Maelstrom! I do not remember what possessed me to make him purble, but it probably had something to do with Shadow being my second-choice flight. It’s been tricky to make his genes and apparel work, especially with the red eyes, but I like what I’ve landed on—even if, character-wise, the most fitting look would be no apparel and triple Basic. Aesthetics win this round.
