Also This I Wanted To Share Separately, A Refsheet I Made For Wakana Because Artfight Will Arrive Way

I drew Sparkplug, one of @novabear0's OCs ! I thought they looked cool.

i need to work on getting an organized offline version of my oc info together. i have a bit done in Obsidian but it's nowhere near done and has been in hiatus for ages, oof

the following text is work-in-progress lore stuff i wrote down recently and have copied from where i put it down! i mainly wrote it to tie up some loose ends in my kirby au.

Emotion: A Blessing, Power, and Weapon

Emotion is a fundamental fact of life no matter which way you look at it. It's part of who we are.

On Popstar, other planets, and all of the branching timelines, emotion is so much more: Strong emotion can make or break battles or, in rare cases, influence fate itself.

Not everyone can weaponize their own emotions, much less consciously, and the effectiveness of the power of one's emotions is very inconsistent across individuals. However, a general pattern is that more positive influences on emotions tend to increase the effectiveness of other powers drawn out through such. This isn't always the case, as certain individuals may draw power based on only intensity or may become stronger under negative influences, but it applies to most, especially to those able to do so on Popstar.

Sometimes this manifests as a copycat mutation, as it did with Wakana, whose love for Nova grew so intense that it awoke a new power within her: Nova's Light. Other times it will influence how variants of someone will behave, as all variants of Wakana and Nova love each other in some way. (It's also a major factor on how Parallel Wakana survived her purification process. She should absolutely be dead.)

There's a couple of rules to make this work.

1. You have to completely and genuinely feel the emotions you get powered up by. I'm not sure how to explain it with words, but an example would be like... if Wakana said "i love you" to someone out of fear, that would not trigger her copycat mutation, even if she does feel the love to some extent. It has to be pure, fiery, unbridled emotion that makes all this happen. (There ARE exceptions, like if you're feeling angry at some jerk because they hurt someone you love.) Oftentimes this means more stoic or less expressive individuals can't make use of this quirk. This also means you can't force it to happen at all.

2. Robots with an Energy Core powering them cannot make use of this - only robots that utilize a Soul, even if it's artificial like Nova's. It's unclear why the more cost-effective robots can't do it, but (in-universe) many who are aware of this entire thing have likened it to how bad jobs that prioritize money no matter what will make you resent what you work with, even if you liked it before.
