this… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/96b2cb52bd6b5f462f9421427859385480f2828d.png) is a spryte. this one in particular is named Fict. sprytes are going to be the main gimmick/powerup system in project: Hoplings. (i’m ditching the reborn subtitle bc absolutely nobody knew what project hoplings originally was.) each of them do different things, and Fict here is the spryte you start out with. [THE TEXT BELOW IS A LORE DUMP, IGNORE IT IF THATS NOT YOUR THING] it is absolutely impossible for sprytes to exist on their own. they have to be accompanied by a hopling. if a hopling & a spryte were to be seperated farther than 5 miles for more than 24 hours, the spryte would cease to exist, and the hopling would die. and here’s another thing. when a hopling finds out its life purpose/goal, it gets its own spryte themed after said purpose/goal. when the hopling achieves its goal or serves its purpose, the spryte in question gets a significant boost in power & capability, allowing the user to become effectively a god. ---

For those of you wondering, fict’s name is a play on words for fiction, and they’re supposed to look like a big book.
