Moonfruit

Name: Moonfruit
Pronouns: He/Him
Race: Rito
Class: Stellar

Appearance: Moonfruit is a normal bird, but 'normal bird' within the context of the Rito. Not like other birds which are like small cuccos. Moonfruit has a cyan plumage, with white stripes interspersed throughout his falcon-shaped head. There are white patches of feathers on his legs and torso. Green cloth sashes hang from his body, overlaid with much longer white rectangular strips that flow in the wind.

Biography: Baby Rito are born with all the knowledge of their ancestors, like what types of seeds are edible and how far one can fall off of something without dying. Moonfruit experienced all of these when the waves of light overcame him as he emerged from the egg, fully formed, but miniature. Moonfruit has spent his life seeking out new revelations. Mealtimes, when he slams his head against his food, are when he feels closest to these late-onset revelations, although he has never experienced one fully.

He has a keen interest in geometry and prides himself on determining the angles at which he achieves liftoff from the ground. Some individuals believe him to be "eccentric".

Conspiracies: Moonfruit believes that it isn't possible for both the Rito to exist concurrently with the birds which are like small cuccos. For, if they were related, they would have evolved at the same pace and one or the other would not still exist. Instead, he believes that the Rito once separately descended from the sky and that ancient tales tell that Hylians used to ride them to get from place to place. Moonfruit is pleased that his people overcame this subservience.

Moonfruit believes that the best music was from about thirty years ago.

Additionally, he believes it is possible to return to the distant sky, and even the moon, which can be cultivated fruits, perhaps even moonfruits, if one were to be athletic enough to reach it. The first step on the way to achieving this is with a good diet and work ethic.

The Verdant Grass of Hyrule Field

Name: Grass
Pronouns: It/Its
Race: Poaceae
Class: Perennial

Appearance: Lush and green; the rainfall over the last several years, along with the abundant nutrients of several thousand sapient organisms falling in the course of battle over the last hundred twenty years has supplied the grass with vital material with which to grow and thrive. The chlorophyll radiates and iridescent green during the spring and summer before sprouting into charming stalks of light grey seedlings to be carried by the wind and willing wildlife.

Biography: Being immobile, the grass is not one to wander. Instead, it spends its days in quiet contemplation of the meaning of life and questions of philosophical substance. From its vantage point in one of the most open parts of Hyrule, the grass has a unique opportunity to witness many exciting phenomena, such as majestic dragons gliding along the vast open sky, to horses relieving themselves of unwanted substances.

Having unlocked many secrets during its long sessions of ruminations, the wisdom contained within the grass would be sought by all -- if only they knew of its great knowledge.

Philosophical Ideology:

"Despite the strict limitation being placed on the justificatory value of mystical experience, it is not being argued either that mystical experiences do not happen, or that what they claim may not be true, only that there can be no grounds for deciding this question, i.e. of showing that they are true even if they are, in fact, true. Moreover, even this disclaimer requires the further declaration that, though no philosophical argument is capable of proving the veracity of mystical experience, one would be both dogmatic and imprudent to decide a priori that mystical claims are mumbo-jumbo, especially given the wide variety of such claims by men of genius and/or intense religious sensitivity over the centuries as well as across all cultural divisions. Nor does it seem reasonable to reduce these multiple and variegated claims to mere projected 'psychological states' which are solely the product of inferior states of consciousness."
