Interview

On May 22nd, 2021, a Interview between Surohhorus (Creator of Respawn), and Canon wiki user, **Aged of all strings** happened between DMs, leading to many Info about the webcomic and behind the scenes details revealed. To prevent confusion, Q will be Aged, A will be Dan.

## The Interview

* Q: What was your inspiration for this series?
* A: I had a weird dream once where i was battling against some evil government as one of my other characters. I took that and molded it to what the story is today. So i guess my inspiration was that dream.
* Q: how did you get the VAs?
* A: I held auditions in the respawn discord and picked who fit the best!
* Q: thoughts on the Moss videos being a little bit more rampant, and do you think your video help the sudden spike?
* A: Prooobably, i mean the video does have 6.6 million views and its one of the first things that show up when you look up the moss.
* Q: What caused you to make the (Canon) wiki?
* A: People kept asking the same questions so I decided to try to put them all in one place. After about 3 hours straight of doing it i took a break and then never got back to it (theres now an answered questions channel in the discord).
* Q: what was your inspiration for Kris and Calvin?
* A: Funnily enough, they were two of my pokemon in a pokemon black nuzlocke. A lilipup (calvin) and herdier (kris). Calvin died so thats kinda what inspired him dying in respawn.
* Q: Same question for the amalgamation and is it's resemble to the Cluster from 2013's steven universe Unintentional?
* A: It actually used to look very different! Its design now is more tied to/inspired by that video of a nokia phone in a microwave.
* Q: Can I see the concept, and video?
* A: [1] [2].
* Q: So it had a Dragonic like appearance, o-or a titan Namus!
* A: Yeah just a really big namu, I decided that didnt make sense.
* Q: as seen from yesterday, we know that Suroh, blackjack, and Frog were all flipnote self inserts and that Duska debuted before she was introduced or when the series started. now as for Toxic, topaz, and cosmic?

* A: Toxic was made as a counterpart to suroh (which can still be seen with their main colors and eyes)
	+ Topaz was a vent character based off of gold from pokemon.
	+ Cosmic.. I Dont really know?? I know his name was based off of cosmic brownies (he used to be a stoner as well).
* Q: How did duska work? You told me she was the 1st respawn question, so was she too a flipnote self insert, or something more?
* A: So i saw the psycho teddy flipnote done by shinyeevee and i wanted to draw a flipnote. She originally had an evil counterpart named nightmare and were both just... really edgy. (Ill grab my flipnote), Blackjacks design stemmed from hers though!
* Q: Is the Mind electric a prequel story, Sorry if this is plot related, this is the only one I swear.
* A: [1].
* A: Its sort of a prequel? Its volts's story.
* Q: So that was uploaded on my 9th birthday.
* A: Oh nice!! I was 11 when i posted it.
* Q: didn't know you were born in 2006.
* A: OH! When it was originally posted.
* Q: What was the hardest flipnote?
* A: Thats reposted from 2011, Hmmmm let me go look, bc its surprisingly not the moss (as it was done in an easier style).
* A: Either this one: [1], Or this one: [1].
* Q: What was the 1st Respawn flipnote that you can still find?
* A: In general or with the current story?
* Q: Both.
* Q: Also I think those 2 were hard because the former has a More complex style, and the latter was mad on the Dsi's Flipnote, and thus, lines were only in one color.
* A: Original: that one of duska i sent from 2011. 1st draft of story: https://www.sudomemo.net/watch/E69BD3\_0D0A59697BF4C\_000. Closest to recent version of the story: https://www.sudomemo.net/watch/E69BD3\_0E403D88F0F9C\_020.
* Q: Judging from the fact Sudememo I assume archives Hatena content, were any Flipnotes Sonicified? (All character heads being replaced with sonic character heads)
* A: It doesnt archive flipnote hatena. I have all my MVs from flipnote hatena downloaded on my 3ds however, (No ive never done that). (Unless thats a thing that they started, in which 👁👁 ).
* Q: Who is that camerahead seen in some older videos/flipnotes.
* A: Hes a character from a different series ive put on the back burner, His name is camerman/gil foster.
* Q: Any fun trivia for Kris, Toxic, Suroh, and Topaz?
* A: Kris: he used to have a blue beanie!
	+ Toxic: his backstory on namulia is the one that was written the most recent.
	+ Topaz: hes my favourite of all the respawn characters.
* Q: I'm running out of questions, so before we Go, did you notice on how the wiki was Bare prior to when I came, am I, alongside Plip, and Solar the people who fixed the (Canon) wiki, and Can I take a screenshot of some questions?
* Q: I will return with more questions the next 4 chapters, Oh and plans after Respawn ends.
* A: Oh yeah i noticed, thank you guys for fixing it up!! And yee you can!!
* A: Plans after it ends is to put all hands on deck for working on my game aftershot (which is what i was doing before the moss flipnote got big)
* Q: What genre do you want the game to be?
* A: Hmmmm im not sure what genre? Its a visual novel Theres already a demo out though! [1].
* Q: Do you plan to release it on steam.
* A: Uhhhh maybe if i can figure that out.
