Arrival

>  Joey Kasaras is not an average 18-year-old. Cursed with Stupendous powers that can only be described as broken and ridiculous, he must embark on a new mission, to save his girlfriend Angela from the clutches of an evil island located off of the coast of Japan. This is an island where nefarious masterminds, super powers, thugs with black belts, and giant monsters seem to be the norm. Armed only with his wits (or lack of them), he'll stop at nothing to save her. This is the story of how he rescued his girlfriend from the island of Obamashu (小浜朱), also known as the Super City.
>
>
> Common Sense Doesn't Exist Here
> In this parody of western and eastern comics, join Joey in the middle of his story (because duh, where else would you start?) as he tries to save Angela and gets lost on the way. Because even if you have Stupendous powers, that doesn't mean you make Stupendous decisions.
>
>
> Watch as he recklessly explores the streets of Super City, because a government official calls a giant monster attack—that apparently happened last year—an earthquake. Laugh as you realize that he could have flown to the island instead of taking a plane. Mock as he wanders around for four hours without finding where to go in a city that's smaller than a tourist trap. Wonder in horror as he casually takes down muggers who are obviously are looking for a way off of this nightmare of an island. Finally, realize that he left the US while not only as a police witness of a kidnapping, but also their primary suspect.

Yggdrasil Leaf

Back: Accessory

This is a "subclass" item, which means it can only be obtained by the correct main class and only on round 8.

## Advanced usage

If the Yggdrasil Leaf is boosted from all 10 starred slots and hero's backpack also contains the Book of Light, the Book will instantly use 10 mana and trigger the invulnerability period at 0.0s, which in turn triggers the Yggdrasil Leaf's heal and cleanse abilities, which will likely be wasted. Consider filling only 9 slots and acquiring the 10th mana using the Blueberries or other items.

## Trivia

Yggdrasil is a sacred tree in Norse cosmology. Around it exists all else, including the Nine Worlds.

작게 남은 짧은 파편

왠지 좀 달랐어 그날은

혹시 나도 그랬냐고

너의 표정만 봐도

왠지 알 것 같은 느낌

마치 같은 걸 본 듯한 순간이야 oh

Can we know

대체 무슨 일인지

깊어 가는 의문 속에

이어지는 긴긴 talkin', ah

What you think

대체 무얼 봤는지

잠깐 지금
it's so creepy

떠오르지 그날 일이

이상한 일들이 일어났지

쏟아진 보랏빛 비

소름이 끼치게

어디론가 hide

안개속 꺼내 본 기억들이

무뎌지는 그 움직임

아직 답을 몰라

머린 아직도 하얘

너와 날 데려간 공간들이

아득히 느껴지지

Template:EXP Ent Idol (Fixed)
**Aoide** (아오이드) is a Korean-American idol under EXP Entertainment. She is a member of CLKWRK and its subunit minute. Her representative color is teal and representative time of day is 2:00 pm.

## History

### Early Life

Aoide was born to a Korean-American mother and Korean father in Changwon, South Korea. While growing up, her mother was an engineer and freelance welder while her father was a stay-at-home dad, causing her to have a closer relationship to her dad from a young age, as well as early exposure to K-pop since her dad was an avid fan of early K-pop groups such as H.O.T. and S.E.S.. When Aoide was a child, her dad would watch music shows whenever they were on, and Aoide would sit watching the TV, mesmerized, and by 5 years old, she would dance to the groups performing - although not performing the choreography since she was so young. When she was 10, her family moved to Seattle, Washington, United States so her mother could be closer to her family, much to the dismay to her father who wanted to stay in Changwon to stay closer to his family. During the period of moving to the United States, her parents' relationship was rocky, but thankfully they worked things out and stayed together. Aoide found her passion for the arts at a young age, beginning to draw while in elementary school and then joining her middle school and high school's band, playing the trombone, her school's choir, and their dance team.

### Pre-debut

When Aoide turned 18, she moved back to South Korea and lived with her father's family to revisit her childhood. Although her family would make consistent trips back to Korea to meet family, she wanted to stay for at least a couple years when available to not only go on a nostalgia trip, but also see what she hasn't got to see yet. During this time was when she decided to take a leap of faith and attempt to audition for EXP Entertainment, and to her surprise she was accepted.

## Personality

Aoide is extroverted and creative, and firm in her ideals and beliefs. She is outspoken and a negotiator, and is consistently described as a master debater. You give her any argument, serious or not, and she'll give you a lengthy response with a bibliography. Within the group's antics, she's usually a turncoat, getting everyone onto her side and then switching when least expected. It's become such a trope that Aoide is usually the first one out during any Mafia-like game played by the group.

## Trivia

* Her MBTI type is ENFJ
* She is a butch lesbian.
	+ She came out on her personal Instagram when she was in high school.
* She considers herself to be more of a casual K-pop fan herself, with the only group she says she "stans" is S.E.S.
	+ One of the more recent groups she's fond of is GWSN. She revealed that member Miya is what drew her to the group in the first place.
* She can speak fluent Korean and English, and knows very little Chinese.
* She and Nam Hye became best friends during Aoide's trainee days and is a big supporter of him.
* She had changed her stage name from Aria, her birthname, to Aoide on March 28, 2023.

## History

### Background

Following the crash of the Hallyu wave in the early 2030's, the interest in K-pop due to oversaturation and simple disinterest lead the industry to struggle. Thankfully, the industry was able to get back on it's feet thanks to groups like (X).ME and APOLLO, and the Hallyu wave began to flood the world once more.

These groups of old inspired bored android engineer and music producer and enjoyer Ahn Bolt to kickstart her biggest project yet: an android idol group. Over the next few years, she acquired some decommissioned androids from establishments and companies that no longer needed them to refurbish them and breathe new life into them.

### The Members

#### CERE

Cybernetic Emergency Response Entity, known by CERE, is the leader of MONOHENCE. She was originally a robot used alongside EMTs and paramedics in a nearby hospital that had malfunctioned and been decommissioned. After asking around, the hospital was one of the few places that reached out to offer Bolt an android they no longer had use for.

#### UME

UME, or Unified Management Emulator, was an overseer at a construction company before ver deterioration and subsequent decommissioning. Ve also helped in the management of the company. UME was aquired by Bolt the same was CERE was.

#### RIE

RIE, short for Rational Inspection Entity, was a security guard at the Haneulbyeollimgureumhaennimbodasarangseureouri Arena, the biggest arena in Seoul used for sporting events, conventions, and large-scale concerts. After a particularly rough kerfuffle, RIE was damaged to the point that they could not be returned to their job as soon as their higher-ups would like, so they were downgraded to concessions before being decommissioned altogether.

#### ELEE

Efficient Life Emulation Entity, or ELEE, was an android used in pediatric medical and therapy settings. She had simply deteriorated over time.

#### IAD

Very little is known about IAD's origin. Xer name raises eyebrows. The most that has been explained about xer background is xe was used in some underground gang that never managed to get its feet of the ground. All the coding that is supposed to make xem an assassination droid has been removed, according to Bolt.
