Welcome to our bi-monthly CHIRPER post!

There are a few ways to interact with CHIRPER:
  • Characters receive a notification to please fill out the form, which is fully optional. There is a character requirement of two characters per answer field. This is to discourage leaving the spaces blank.
  • When forms are not filled out, they can be filled out by the companion bots of Etraya!
  • Other characters can be prompted to fill out their friends' profiles for them. This includes the Q&A section!
  • Alternatively, they choose not to fill out the form, and it remains unfilled! These unfilled profiles will not be posted live.
  • Characters either like or dislike others CHIRPER profiles. These responses are private between the characters involved.

For those who do post a top level, CHIRPER toplevels are worth five extra points regardless of if they are put up willingly by the character themselves. These five extra points do apply to the 25 maximum per month.

Please feel free to switch out any of the Q&A questions with those listed here! We have an example of a filled out form here.

Viktor

NAME ▷ Viktor
AGE ▷ 32

Getting to know you!

q: What is your proudest accomplishment?
a: Hextech.

q: What do you miss most about your home world?

a: Human anatomy and computer coding/programming books mostly.

q: What do you do for fun?

[He knows the point is to make new friends, but he can't resist.]

We can make sweetmilk here, you know.

[personal profile] hexcorized 2025-06-10 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
We could try to make it.

[ He is frowning on his end. ]

I doubt it will come out as good as the one from that cafe near the academy.

[ He misses that kind especially. ] The worst thing to happen is ruining one of my favorite drinks since childhood, from which I will surely not recover.

[ VIKTOR. He is being so damn dramatic and not serious at all. He can barely contain his amusement, though, as he says it. ]

But I suppose it's worth a shot.

No pressure or anything, just the incredibly high stakes of ruining your childhood memories.

[No but maybe actually a little nervous now.]

You must have made it yourself at least once, right?

[ Jayce, buddy. ]

It shouldn't be too hard. [ Right??? ] If we can revolutionize magic and create a means of teleportation, I'm sure between the two of us we can make some sweetmilk.

[ This is highly debatable because Viktor and cooking do not end well usually. ]

My mother. [ A pause. ] She used to make it for me when I was younger. Perhaps I should have paid more attention when she did make it. [ So that's a no. ]

Okay.

[That's fine. Viktor had no idea how to make it. Neither did Jayce. They can figure this out through sheer taste and Viktor's memory alone, right?

...Maybe.

You at least know what goes into it?

Milk. [ Viktor...] Sugar and anise. I have heard of people adding additional flavors to theirs, but I much prefer the original.

[personal profile] hexcope 2025-06-11 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty basic ingredients...

[But the problem is what they don't know. Is the milk boiled beforehand? Is the sugar melted from the heat of the milk, or is it a liquid? How much anise before it's too overpowering?

... This is why he lets his mom cook for him.

We'll just have to do trial and error on this one. It's not like we'd find this in a cookbook, right?

[personal profile] hexcorized 2025-06-11 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless there is some sort of cookbook from Zaun lying about, and even then, I don't recall there being many to begin with.

[ That's why his mother did all the cooking!! ]

I believe the method of preparation is just as basic as well. Cooking is a science, a chemistry; we should be able to do it.

[Both of these boys with no idea how to make basic recipes.]

We'll commandeer Caitlyn's kitchen- for science. I'll pick up the ingredients.

[ What could possibly go wrong?! ]

Very well. I look forward to it.

what do you build?
hexcorized: (pic#17578827)

[personal profile] hexcorized 2025-06-10 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Things designed to improve people's lives. That is what Hextech was for, after all.
sodark: (pic#17865599)

[personal profile] sodark 2025-06-15 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
you're the second person i've seen mention it.

what improvements do you make, if you don't mind my asking?

[personal profile] hexcorized 2025-06-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly, we had been working on several things back home for those who worked in the mines, artificers, things that would help the everyday person achieve their own dreams. Help them when the world could or would not.

[ A pause. ] Here we are working on a prosthetic arm, among other things.

What's hextex
hexcorized: (pic#17578528)

[personal profile] hexcorized 2025-06-11 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's Hextech and it is the culmination of science, magic, and technology. In conjunction with runes, it can be used to channel magical energy to amplify and enhance the ability of those who are without magic.

Jayce and I developed it together.

[ Sure. Okay. He’s just going to roll with that. ]

Pretend I’ve never heard of it before and explain magic.
hexcorized: (pic#17578528)

[personal profile] hexcorized 2025-06-19 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Magic or the arcane back home is a naturally occurring phenomenon in Runeterra. Only a few are born to possess the means of wielding it from birth, and even then, some who are touched by the arcane do not know that they are.

I have come to realize that there are variations of runes and wild runes within my world as well. Runes, for example, are controlled by the input of a singular function. Whereas Wild Runes, however, are naturally born of the world and entirely separate, unable to be contained. Wild Runes are unexpected, unpredictable responses that are generated from attempts to control and bind the arcane. They manifest as uncontrolled magic. They appear where the boundary between the physical realm and the arcane realm is the thinnest.

[ Carver sits with that for a bit. At this point, you just have to accept things. ]

Anything like that ever show up here?
