**Hermond Thinblade** was a character in *CRiTORA*. They were a Thinner CRiTORA from the Art District. In 2023, they and Integro were merged into Aquillic.

In the series, they were intended to be voiced by LastyGhost.

## Description

*"**The Thinner CRiTORA.** Hermond was never the best at socializing with other CRiTORA. After being permanently traumatized and losing their sibling Integro at the Infestation Invasion, they stood homeless and joined the CRiViRUS Gang despite their wishes. However, after discovering a world known as the Choonieverse through books relating stories amazing to Hermond, they learned that hope lays even on the darkest times."*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Hermond has a black, amorphous, liquid body with lime green gradients atop their head, drips, and arms. They have glowing lime green eyes and mouth insides, hands with two fingers and a thumb, and they are contained in a bottle.

### Housing

The Thinblades' house was modeled after their heads, though their location was never established. Hermond's head was smaller as they were the younger sibling. Inside, the main colors were black, cadet blue, forest green, and crimson red; Hermond's room was decorated with pure black-and-white abstract artwork, had a drawer with comics, and a bed with a teddy bear.

When their house was destroyed, Hermond lived in the Art District's alleyways. Once their house was rebuilt, Hermond's room was decorated with Choonieverse-themed items.

## Story

Hermond and Integro lived happily in the Art District, though Hermond was socially awkward, letting Integro do the talk for them. The Infestation Invasion happened, and both Thinblades separated. Hermond locked themself in their house's basement, where a substance that could kill them instantly leaked. Just when they thought it was over for them, they were rescued. This severe trauma made Hermond join the CRiViRUS Gang, though they were also against the ViRUSES, being the first of the members to admittingly do so, but they would've redeemed much later.

One of the key moments of their character arc included them going incognito to the Garden District's library and reading a novel of two Wisps saving their world from a dark threat and the story of an amnesiac cyborg. Those days were when Thinblade became immersed into the Choonieverse, calling Earthstar their hero after reading *Reckon Crystal* several times since then.

Part of their redemption was assisted by Frostie and Barnaby -who would have redeemed at their time, who became their friends instead of their allies. How Hermond's full redemption happened had unfolded in two ways:

* In 2021, they would have redeemed after being saved by Integro from a dangerous V-CRiTORA. Hermond would have been taken to the house of the Solsyms to recover as they made a new outfit for them.
* In 2022, they would have redeemed after Nebulus Ultranova saved them, Integro, and a knocked-out V-CRiTORA from a crumbling cave. Frostie and Barnaby saw Hermond wake up at the Moon District's outskirts and took them to the Art District, where an outfit inspired by the character Hermond called a hero, Earthstar, was waiting.

## Development

Hermond Thinblade was created in Mid-Late 2020. Originally, Hermond would have refused to reveal their first name and only be referred to as Thinblade (sometimes as [REDACTED] Thinblade).

### Design

Hermond's aspect was inspired by the Shadow Blot from *Epic Mickey*, as well as the functionality of thinner in-game. Hermond's 2022 redeemed design was based on Earthstar.

### Name

Hermond shared their first name with Hermond Riskowl. Their last name came from *Thinner* and *Blade*.
