**Was most of the characters based on an anime/personal experience/etc?**

*@ReversedArcana* A lot of the characters are based on myself and just the situation around us

Discord Interview [Dec 2017]

**Who inspired you to make John?**

Maybe, a little bit of myself. I feel like a lot of people have tons of bottled emotions inside and sometimes a lot of anger that they can’t really let out and they just keep it bottled in. That’s how I feel sometimes, and I’ve just wanted make a character that was kind of like that.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**How do you think of the names for the characters?**

For John, it was always going to be John, because..John Doe.

For a lot of other characters, I just google unique boy names or unique girl names and I just pick out of those.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Are there any characters inspired by someone?**

None of the characters are based off specific people. I created each of them on the spot, and modeled them after general anime archetypes, but since then, they've all evolved. Now, each of them take on a part of my personality. For example, John is the impulsive side, Arlo is the logical side, Sera is the confident side, etc.

Instagram interview (Part 1) [June 2019]

**Uhm, if you had to describe the personalities of each of your important characters in one word, what would they be...?**

*@Meow* John: angry, Sera: chill, Arlo: logical, Blyke: loyal, Remi: curious, Isen: laid-back, Elaine: follower, Cecile: salty

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Dear Uru-chan, how do you deal with the morals of the characters you are portraying in regards to your own leanings? do you feel closer to some characters and if so how does that influence your story ? for examples in cases where we have clash of ideas like John vs Arlo or more recently John vs Remi.**

*@Zantos* Every character I know has a base personality that they work off of. For example, John goes off his anger, Arlo is very logical, Remi is very righteous, Sera’s more cool and chill. Those are what I started off with. When things get more complicated, I just try to put myself into those people’s shoes. I disconnect from myself. It’s not about what I think. It’s about what I think what the characters are thinking at the time. I spend a lot of time every single week in every character’s head trying to figure out exactly what they’ll say in each situation. It’s really just thinking. I get a lot of perspectives from reading through comments. That helps me a lot, so you guys keep commenting. Seeing everybody's perspectives helps me learn more and taking a lot of media through youtube, movies and tv shows helps a lot too. That, and I have this personal interest in psychology. It’s just something I’ve always been interested in as well.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Sep 2019]

**Who was the funnest character for you to create personality wise? Like, who is the most interesting one in your perspective?**

*@Chocolatecoke17* I really like John. I think he’s really fun to write. Cuz he’s all over the place, he’s a big mess(laughs).

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Sep 2019]

**How long was Evie in your mind before she became an unO character?**

*@Angerey* Evie wasn't in my mind till she became a character

Discord Interview [Apr 2020]

Darabobo

**When creating John's character, did you base the character on anyone? For example, people have been relating John Doe to John wick.**

john isn't based off anyone in particular, but he is based off parts of me

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

Lendmeyoursynergy

**how’d you come up with John’s character what inspired you to write him?**

john was supposed to be a retired MC

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

**hi uru, i hope u had a good break! it def sounded heavy when u said u began to take on ur character’s emotions. I’m interested in how you decide the character’s personalities and what were your thoughts when developing Sera’s personality? I like her the best and want to know what u were trying to do w her! thank u!**

*@sph* Thanks! A lot of personalities are based of the characters upbringing and circumstances. For Sera, she's confident and a very quick learner.  She went from the highest place in society to the lowest. So I put myself in her situation and play out how her development would be like

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**I understand that you Googled names for most of your characters. I also know John Doe's name has significance.**
**But in regards to the other characters, was selecting Googled names with significant meanings a deliberate part of the process? (ie. Cecile, fittingly, means "dim sighted".)**

*@straYDoubter* Honest answer, no. I just picked random names. But there are times where I see people come up with these connections and I’m like “wow that’s pretty lucky.”

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**I noticed your hair is purple like Sera's?**

It might look a little bit weird under the light but I think it's actually...orangey?

**Did you get her idea from you?**

I didn't... her hair was inspired by, I think, a special type of fashion called "scene fashion". The general gist of it is...people who kind of like changing their hair a lot and dyeing their hair to kind of represent themselves. That's what she was based on.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Everybody who has powers seems to have colored hair. You were talking with the style and the culture and stuff like that. Is it that or is it tied to their powers?**

I guess some of the characters glow the color of their hair when they use their powers but there’s really not much connection at this point between what type of powers they have and their hair color.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**What is up with the eye glowing. Is there symbolism or inspiration behind it or is it just aesthetic?**

There is just aesthetics.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Who is the hardest character to draw out of the main cast, excluding characters like Ember?, also unOrdinary was the first Webtoon I read and I really enjoyed it, hope you're enjoying your break**

*@Clone 99* the hardest character to draw are the non-students. I am still new at drawing different face structures. thanks!

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Are seras highlights yellow or green?**

*@Jelle* We were just talking about this earlier, Sera’s highlights are a yellow-green. So they are like right inbetween

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Sep 2019]

**HI URU! what is the inspiration for john's new hair :O]**

*@Shadow King* half way between gelled and un-gelled

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**In SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018] When asked about John’s & Blyke’s similar appearance, you responded with "...They’re not related but there’s kind of a reason behind it. It’s kind of a stretch, but you’ll probably - I can’t tell you the reason now because you’ll have to find out later. But yeah, that’s my answer."**

**Do you still plan to play with some symbolism here, or have you scrapped the idea you had in mind? If scrapped, care to share what it was?**

*@Boomerang* John and Blyke are two sides of the same coin. If John had made different decisions, he could've ended up like Blyke. and likewise, if Blyke had made different decisions, he could've been like John

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**Many says that John is bipolar, but I  don't agree that since I've been dealing with a person whose close to me all my life who's bipolar & had to learn a lot about it. But I do believe he has anger issues & probably mommy issues too. can you confirm**

*@Deleted User* John is most definitely not bipolar...but I can see why a lot of people think so

Discord Interview [Dec 2017]

**If get enough signatures to have a character burn John’s hair gel, will it happen?**

Uhhhhhhhhh. I saw that one coming. There’s some significance to John’s hair gel. You’ll find out sooner or later.

**Does it represent his ordinary side, his cripple self?**

Yeah that’s part of it. It definitely does have something to do with his personality and how he acts. I can’t just burn it, sorry.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Does John wear his hair gel because of his dad?**

That’s also part of the reason.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**What brand of hair gel does John use?**

I have no idea. It’s just “Gel” so it’s just Gel™ gel.

**His hair is just so wild when it’s natural. How does he hold it up like that in that little nice-**

He uses like two jars of gel every single morning or something. Just like a closet stacked full of gel.

**How much does he pay for it?**

Like, not sure actually.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Where did John learn to be so good at martial arts?**

He learned from his dad. His dad taught him.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Ungelled John looks almost identical to Blyke, except with black hair. Is there a reason behind that or is it just how the hair is drawn?**

There’s kind of a reason behind it.

**Are they brothers?**

They’re not brothers. They’re not related but there’s kind of a reason behind it. It’s kind of a stretch, but you’ll probably - I can’t tell you the reason now because you’ll have to find out later. But yeah, that’s my answer.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**John reminds me of Delsin Rowe from Infamous Second Son (video game). In Infamous Second Son, there’s a dark side and a light side. Are we seeing him go towards the dark side or the light side or is he struggling in the middle?**

What do you think right now?

**I’m not sure that’s why I’m asking you.**

There’s definitely an internal struggle going on with him right now. He’s definitely got his good goody-two-shoes sassy side and he’s definitely got his really violent side. That’s kind of the point of this arc, which is to show what type of character he’s gonna become ultimately.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Does John have siblings?**

\*shrugs\*

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Right from the start it seems that despite any failings he or others think he has John has a great sense of self-worth. Was that something that was inherent in the character from when you first conceptualized him?**

*[Elaboration: I think he’s a very inspirational character...he doesn’t have an ability, but he never once feels sorry for himself. He’s always in a dangerous position, like he can get his butt kicked by people who have abilities. But he never uses it as an excuse, like “oh my life sucks because I don’t have abilities”.*

Instead, he just accepts it and thinks “This is reality, this is the life that I live. I worked really hard to get into this high school, and I’m not going to back down because I don’t have abilities.” He doesn’t let others define who he is, despite the fact that all the people with abilities, the powerful, the “haves”, if you will, that’s how they define John. That’s John’s identity to them, he’s a kid with no abilities. But John doesn’t let that define him.

At the start of the story, did you hear a lot of reaction from people who identified with that?]

Yeah, I do remember reading a lot of comments from people saying how it really makes them feel like they’re worth something, that they don’t have to worry about what other people think about them to feel happy. And I think that’s good, so long as you’re happy with yourself. I think that’s the most important thing.

LRM Online Podcast [Feb 2019]

**Can you describe what it was like to create Johns personality? I feel as if people interpret John in the wrong way. I see John as the main character not the hero of the story. Wether he does things that people agree or disagree with he’s just the main character and we follow him. I enjoy the polarizing opinions though since no matter who reads you get a reaction from them based on someone you developed**

*@Fate* It's a lot of fun, and I've been wanting to try this with a character for a while now. I have to put myself in his shoes and feel his emotions to get his personality accurate. He's not exactly the most reasonable person. To be honest, I'm surprised so many people still side with John, but at the same time I'm glad that people still believe in him.

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Did you design John to be the protagonist or the antagonist (or a little of both in mind)? What are your ideas for his arc?**

*@MistyMccubbin* So, John's character is supposed to be controversial. He's not really supposed to have a "side," whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. It's kind of all up to you to decide. The main goal was to make him really relatable, but also give him a little bit of problems. So yeah, it's up to you. If you want him to be, you know, a villain, you can. If you want him to be the hero, then you can too! So yeah, it's all up to you.

FanExpo Boston [Oct 2019]

**What’s John favourite music type?**

*@Kyu* probably chillstep, or something calmer

Discord Interview [Apr 2020]

**Hi uru-chan! I hope you're staying safe and doing well! I was wondering what are some of John's hobbies or interests (other than bubble tea and exercising)? Does he like Dragon Ball?**

*@CitrusDuck' thanks, you too. John like playing Poker and just chilling out and doing nothing. I'm sure he would like Dragon Ball*

Discord Interview [Apr 2020]

**Can John play any instruments? If so, what instruments?**

*@Staid [No Socks Gang OG]* nah D:

Discord Interview [Apr 2020]

**What is John's Favorite Candy bar?**

*@Rhaenera* not snickers

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

**is john’s actual last name doe?**

last names aren't addressed in this story, but John's last name is symbolic

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

WeepingDuckling

**Would you consider John to be the main character of uno? Okay, this might sound a little trivial, but at this rate I think you can make a solid argument for Sera or Blyke.**

John is the MC, but the POV of the story changes

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

Lendmeyoursynergy

**Does John’s negative mental state affect you negatively or does it make you hype to draw/ write more about the story/his character arc?**

yes, yes, yes. i do have to separate myself from him sometimes because his way of thinking can get too toxic for me.

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

Lendmeyoursynergy

**Who wins John or a professional Boxer?**

professional Boxer, John's trained well but not professionally

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

Ballsydeep69

**…Everyone has their own opinion on this but I am quite intrigued by what you have thought when creating John.**

I won't give my personal thoughts, but I'm glad that there's so much discussion around him.

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

**I've noticed that John have bought a couple of phones now, is John's family considered wealthy compared to average?**

**Other than that, I've noticed that his phone is always blue too, is it his favorite color?**

*@UNiTEFan* I’ll answer your second question first. Yes, I’m glad you noticed that. Dark blue is his favorite color. As for his family it’s really just him and his dad. His dad is- compared to most low tier families I think that he makes probably more than most low tier families would make just because he’s got books and stuff like that. Especially with Unordinary coming out. But not extremely wealthy or anything like that. You can see that they still stay in their 2 bedroom apartment so they’re not like living in a mansion or anything like that.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**How do you feel about Elaine. From the discussions I've had, she is a very hated character by many readers. Was she intended to be disliked? Or is this reaction unexpected? (Personally I find her to be more sympathetic than dislikable)**

*@Rajeev* Elaine was supposed to be hated to begin with, but I think she’s a very redeemable character

Discord Interview [Dec 2017]

**Does John’s dad secretly have powers?**

No.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Is the father we met John’s biological father? What I personally think is that he might’ve saw unOrdinary and it changed him throughout the year, and he sought that author. And maybe he’s maybe an adoptive father of some sort because we don’t really know much of John’s backstory at this point yet and only that he’s been in school...Is the father we met (William) John’s biological father?**

...Yes.

...uh...I mean I don’t want to ruin any- no comment.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**We've seen John and Sera's dad and mom respectively; heard Blyke's mom in a bonus episode, and heard about Remi returning to her parents for her brother's funeral. Where are the other parents? Are siblings rare in this universe? We know Remi and Seraphina have older siblings, but what about the other characters?**

*@DeluxSandwichesCaptainJesus* Other parents haven't appeared in the story yet. Siblings aren't to rare, they're about as common as they are in our world. More characters will be revealed in Season 2

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Do you have any characters that didnt make it to the final story?**

*@Angerey the ebic《LͫOͤRͫDͤ》* Not really, the story is still in its early stack. If anything, usually need more characters than I plan for

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Excluding Blyke and Sera, is the top 10 list still currently relevant? Is the info regarding ability levels the same as it was when the list was showcased? (This includes the "mysterious" number 2)**

*@Michael Raad* yes, the top 10 list is still accurate

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Who do you think had the best character development over the course of the season?**

*@Clone 99* that's up to you to decide

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**What are your opinions on Zeke? And do you dislike him or Illena more?**

*@ElaineIsDecentPersonGang* I don't dislike any of my characters really

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Can blyke and isen reach high tier if they work hard enough?**

*@JamalDaBest* yes, I think they can reach high-tier

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Is William more experienced in hand to hand combat compared to John?**

*@ElaineIsDecentPersonGang* Dunno, but William taught John all his hand-to-hand combat

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Which have you had more trouble writing argument/differences of perspectives with? Arlo and John or John and Remi?**

*@mehin* both were challenging, but John and Remi was harder because they both want the same result.

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**If Sera was going to have extensions anyway, why did she cut her hair?**

*@GullibleOrange* In the story, changing one’s hair is symbolic for changing one’s personality. As for extensions, I wasn’t really thinking about that one to be honest. I think it’s nice to change between two different hair styles. Also her hair was based off of scene fashion. I haven’t thought much about it to be honest, but the chopping up of her hair was symbolic for her putting an end of her “perfect Sera“ or perfect persona.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Sep 2019]

**Is Vaughn just straight up the strongest person in the universe?**

*@Lusean Encri* hes very strong

Discord Interview [Apr 2020]

Pinkmoonz

**Bit of an odd one, but did you intend to make Zeke have Narcissistic Personality Disorder? I've noticed that he's shown a lot of the symptoms (extremely inflated ego, constantly looking for attention, complete lack of empathy even for his former peers, implied insecurity). I could be wrong, and he could just be another bully, but he's always kinda stood out to me.**

I didn't have a specific personality disorder in mind, but all of his characteristics were intentional.

shes both

**Are Evie and Roland gonna become main characters??**

no

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

**Hey Uru!! Just wondering, who are Aisha, Asher and Auriel? (they were shown on Sera’s contact list a while back and I think Auriel was paired up with Elaine for English. They probably have no significance to the plot since it’s been this long and they’ve never been mentioned again but I was just curious lol)**

*@pixarlamp* they may or may not show up. mostly just an alphabetical list or names on her phone

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**Hi, Uru! Is it safe to say that Blyke is “the bridge” between Remi and Isen? (Since we always talk about “Blyke and Remi” and “Blyke and Isen”, but never about “Remi and Isen”)**

*@GodBlessSMG* maybe? they're all pretty close tbh, but i guess Blyke has more in common with each of them

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**Will we ever get more backstory or character development for Zeke?**

*@pixarlamp* do you want it?

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**So my question is about William since William is a writer he surely have done other works good so do you plan on showing us some of his other works or mention them cause we haven't heard any other work of William except unordinary.**

*@absaarali* That’s something you have to keep reading to find out.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Does William use his belt as self defense sometimes?**

*@DonaldDuck* Like very specific? Uhm...

```
There’s nothing specifying anyone. Just in general.

```

*@DonaldDuck* William is like [break in audio]. He uses whatever is at his disposal so whatever is in his environment. If he were going up against someone and the only thing he had to defend himself with was his belt. Then yeah. I would say that he would probably use his belt. Let’s just put it that way.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**when did sera become an 8?**

*@mira* As in what age?

**Maybe when in high school?**

*@mira* I would say recently

**Like within her third year?**

*@mira* Yeah probably around the beginning of this year…

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What will Isen do if John broke his pen?**

I don’t know, um. He might just try to start something.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**What's it like developing the characters, their personalities, their abilities, and their interactions with other characters?**

*@TheRealRed* In the beginning, I was making content up off the top of my head. Now, I use my own personality and logic to develop my characters and conversations

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**How do you keep all the personalities of your characters so separate. I've noticed that most writers, myself included, have a problem with character consistency and character separation.**

*@Zarroaf* it's the most fun part of writing the story, but also really difficult. Sometimes, the character's personalities bleed into each other. I spend a lot of each week thinking about the most realistic way for each character to react. It just takes a lot of thinking.

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**How do you make sure that the reactions of the characters and their interactions are realistic and believable?**

*@𝖈𝖆𝖗𝖈𝖆𝖘𝖘* I pretty much sit around and think about it a lot. I try to imagine a scenario in my head. And I’m like “was that satisfying? Does that make sense?” That’s kind of what I do.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Sep 2019]

**Does anyone actually see Elaine as a friend? Whenever we've seen any character interact with her it's either her being used to spy on Seraphina or as a portable healing machine.**

*@Are You a Real Villain?* I think a lot of the time she is overlooked and she is taken for granted, but... I think there is definitely also people in the main group that sees her as a friend...just a lesser friend I guess.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Sep 2019]

**In which cases Director [Vaughn] acts as a mediator in school affairs? And in which cases he prefers the students to solve their own problems?**

*@Lord of Death (Yotanwa)* I guess you’ll find that out later, but you’ll probably see that he’s pretty hands off most of the time.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Sep 2019]

**Will we see anymore of the families influence in the kids lives? Like will we see more of Remi's parents or learn more of Seraphina's sister, and will we end up seeing John's mother? Or any other characters in which their family might have had influence on their way of thinking?**

@Bibi yup

Discord Interview [Apr 2020]

Retloclive

**Is Remi ever going to hold her friends accountable for their actions? The private conversation she had with John where he points out how Arlo, Isen and Blyke have mistreated him felt like a moment that was going to be a huge eye-opener for her, yet there's been no follow up to it so far.**

She's aware of their past actions, and she knows that they feel regretful. In the end, she's looking to move forward and not judge her friends based on what they've done in the past.

that's for you to judge

**Is there a possibility that [Vaughn] and William are actually old friends?**

no

Reddit AMA [Oct 2020]

**How long have Remi, Blyke, and Isen been friends?**

Almost 3 years. They met at the beginning of freshman year and bonded over something kinda silly. Maybe I’ll write a short someday.

APAHM [May 2021]

**Did John ever  tried to be friends with other  students when he  arrived to wellston other than sera??**

*@don't know* with arlo?

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**what is your opinion about people’s attitudes towards John throughout the series? Like how they deposed him and everything. The characters in the series, your low tiers, mid tiers, high tiers.**

*@Kyrronium* I wanna say that no personal opinion really. I think it’s just understandable. I think that when you don’t know someone in person, you just judge them based off of what you know, right? And John is the type of person who doesn’t really share much about  himself and so there isn’t much for them to judge I guess, the low tiers, mid tiers, and high tiers. So logically what they think about him, makes sense? But that’s why I wrote it this way, because to me it makes sense.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Are you gonna involve some focused romance in unOrdinary future?**

*@Zantos* Not sure yet. We'll see where the story goes :)

Discord Interview [Dec 2017]

**CAN WE HAVE MORE SHIPS**

*@Rollyzhou* Ohh, there will be more ships for sure

Discord Interview [Dec 2017]

**Will there be ships in this series?**

You guys can ship whoever you want with whoever you want. It’s not necessarily a romance genre, but you guys do whatever you want.

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**Is John and Seraphina’s ship going to sail?**

\*shrug\* Maybe?

SYFY Fireside Chat [13 Apr 2018]

**You've said that UnOrdinary isn't a romantic setting, but JohnxSera seems to be your go-to pairing for Valentine's Day art.**
**Ever consider playing around with other pairings on V-Day?**

*@straYDoubter* I have pairings that I personally prefer, but mainly go to SeraxJohn because it's the fan favorite.

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Will you end up putting any ships in the webtoon? I wonder if you ship anyone in unOrdinary :p**

*@\_kate* There are pseudo-ships in webtoon, but romance is not the main focus of the story. Yes, I do have preferred ships in unOrdinary.

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**Is there any slight romantic attraction between John and Sera? He did blush when his dad asked about his living situation with Sera, or was that more embarrassment?**

*@alexa17482* it's completely up to your own interpretation. I've seen people who want them to be a couple, and some who want them to just be friends

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Sep 2019]

**When you asked us on Twitter if we wanted John and Sera to be dating and then John ruined their friendship did you plan that in advanced or what something that came to you recently?**

@𝓣𝓻𝓮𝔂𝓼𝓱𝓮𝓵𝓵𝔃 i already had everything planned. it was just for fun

*@mira* refer to ep 137 and Side story - Rei (1) #159 for approximations for the main cast. Most mid-tiers probably around 2ish.

*@LadyElemental [F]* yes

Discord Interview (Part 1, Text) [Jun 2021]

**How old is leilah?**

*@Aera* Uhm, I would say probably around 24-25. So that makes her- Sera’s around 17. So that would make her around 7 or 8 years older than her(Sera). I would say that she ran away from her home maybe around when she was like 19-20. Around university time. Yep.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What would arlo think of having coffee flavored popping boba?**

*@acheddarie* I think he would be like confused(laughs). I think it’s not really his cup of tea and if he were to ever try it I don’t think he would ever admit to even liking it or just eating it.

**Would he secretly like it or just like “I will never try it again.”**

*@acheddarie* I don’t think he would ever admit to himself if he liked it.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Which characters would the main cast main in Genshin Impact?**

*@acheddarie* I stopped playing after Xiao came out, so I don’t really know any of the characters after that. But I would say I would give Diluc to John. I would give Zhongli to Arlo and I would give...probably Keqing to Sera. I would give Barbara to Elaine. Razor to Isen and I had one for Remi. I don’t remember. OH, I was thinking Jean for Remi because she’s like a supportive and all inclusive character. And then for Blyke, some sort of archer. I was actually thinking- Oh no I was thinking- I thought Ganyu at first just because of the whole archer thing but then I thought Bennett because he’s also a really big team player and he cares about his friends a lot. And he’s more [break in audio] too.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What cuisine/food would you associate with the main characters?**

*(\*Unknown)* I feel like the trio would have american cuisine or fast food. I feel like Sera really likes sushi. I think John just eats whatever. I feel like he cooks at home. And Arlo probably likes steak or something like really high end stuff. Anything high end he’d probably like.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Are Ventus and Meili related? Like family? Or are they just friends?**

*@Evie Church『Exempt from Taxes』* They’re friends. They’re not related.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**When are Roland and Evie’s birthdays?**

*@pixarlamp* I don’t have any specific dates, but I would imagine that Evie’s birthday is in May and Roland’s birthday is in September. That’s just the feeling that I have.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What is Remi’s favourite ice-cream cup- I MEAN FLAVOUR?**

*@pixarlamp* It’s pink! And it’s strawberry. Strawberry.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What kind of candy would the unO cast like?**

*@DonaldDuck* Not snickers(laugh). See I always thought that Remi would be a big fan of starbursts and skittles, fruity stuff. Sera is more like a chocolate gal. And then John would probably eat any sweets in general. Arlo doesn’t have sweets at all and I don't think Blyke does either. Isen, I think he’s like a fruity person too. Anything fruity I think he would like.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What characters would the main cast play as in Mario kart?**

*@shirine* I don’t play mario kart because I’m like so bad at it. So I don’t know, I’m not really familiar with that, but I’m sure that they’d all be very good at it.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Which Bubble tea flavors would the main cast be, or if they drink it, what would be their favorites.**

*@Rhaenera* I guess if I were to choose it would be according to their color. John would be the original black tea boba. I would give Sera taro. I would probably give Remi strawberry. Blyke wouldn’t be a bubbletea he wouldn’t be a milk tea. He would be a fruit punch with lychee jelly and same with Isen. And Arlo, I was thinking coconut or almond for him. Their favorite flavors, most of them hadn’t really had it. You could say that Arlo’s favorite is the mango because that’s all he’s had. Sera likes taro and John like to buy mango.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What school year is everyone in?**

*@Alexander* I mean just to reiterate. The trio Remi, Blyke, and Isen along with John and Sera are in third year. Cecile, Zeke, and Arlo are in their fourth year. John did stayed back a year so he technically would be in his fourth year if that didn’t happen.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Do you think John would fit amongst the Shirai Ryu?**

*(Unknown)* I mean maybe if he was trained since he was a kid. Not right now I don’t think he’d be strong enough to be a ninja or anything. As he is now.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**I was curious as to what Holden's height is?**

*@Platinum Phoenix* Holden’s about the same height as Arlo, maybe a little bit taller. So give him like a 6’3.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Does Arlo have a 6 pack?**

*@Greed* Uuuuuh, I mean he- y-y…stay tuned to find out.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**Who is the most fittest character among the high tiers, in the order of the most fittest to the least?**

*@Wright* Most fit character is John because you know his circumstances. Then I would say Blyke. Then Remi. Then Arlo. And then I would put Sera and Isen on the same level. I’m talking about before Sera lost her ability. Once Sera lost her ability and started working on herself I would put her probably on the same level on like second.

Discord Interview (Part 2, Voice) [Jun 2021]

**What's Adrion’s height and birthday?**

*@AHHHHH* He’s maybe like 5 '11. He’s the same height as John and maybe a little bit taller. I haven’t really thought about it. It’s gonna be sometime in December. He feels like a December baby(laughs). I don’t know where I’m getting these feelings from.
