GRAAAAHHH i'm always so dissatisfied with how I communicate who Meridian "is," but I guess the answer is, like, it's complicated? It's hard to get into the meat of why they're the way they are without just saying the secret out loud. Really, Mery doesn't even really understand this themself for a good while.
And yeah, it is intentionally ambiguous for a while. I could lay out all the hints we get until we really know, but where's the fun in that? But man is it frustrating to not be able to explain what's so interesting about them to me.
One thing I do think is fun at least is that with them as the most common POV character, we can see this contrast between their inner monologue and the way other characters perceive them. And I think (or I hope at least, lol) that this will also be evident when they appear during other characters' POV sections.
Tjong is similar in the sense that it takes a certain reveal to make it clear why he's,, like that,,, (coincidentally, the same reveal is also the first big hint we get about Mery. Huh!) but his personality is a lot more straightforward. And he's a terrible liar.

honestly if I lived in Gotham and it was Valentine's day, I would go out at night and get into dangerous situations on purpose (to get Batmans attention). Then, after he saves me from getting mugged or something, I quickly pull out my Valentine's card and hand it to him (it has a stupid pun written on it, like "I'm down bat for you!"). If he doesn't immediately flee, I pull out a picnic blanket, a candle and a cupcake. Candlelight dinner with Batman in a dark alley, here I come!!

would I be killed on the spot if I said I disliked lychee's final design so I made a little redesign of them rewrote them entirely and they're basically my oc now because FUCK I love jesters. would I be allowed to post my design or would I be burned at the stake

how it feels like trying to explain this dumb story. everything is so interconnected. or at least I think it is?

miscellaneous skills and hobbies
Meridian - likes fashion and styling outfits. learned a couple traditional dances for ritual purposes. can handle a small rowboat - all of the roads in kalirangka were waterways - and likes to venture out on their own. has gotten good at quad skating, which they use to train their movements with their weapon.
Ivrel - uhhh. smoking weed and hanging out!! ivrel doesn't really have a dedicated hobby aside from dueling, but she'd probably benefit from one. knows how to trick rope and tie a lot of different knots and catch lizards of various shapes and sizes.
Tjong - previously spent almost all of his effort fighting and making his weapons. initially just sits in the lobby doing nothing when he doesn't have a task, but gains extensive knowledge on stocks by osmosis from the tv in there. gets really into investing. can play gong ageng in a gamelan ensemble.
Vita - clearly knowledgeable about gardening and foraging. reads a lot of mystery novels and tries to guess how they'll end. does like 10000 piece puzzles but tends to lose some of the pieces. decent enough photographer... the main skill she's honed is taking pics without people noticing 🤫
Audrist - glass artist obvs (mainly stained glass) but also does resin work. can sketch things from life pretty accurately. combs the beach for sea glass. knows some street magic type sleight of hand tricks. tries to do yoga to keep himself limber.
Zee - gamer(tm). plays the theremin and has enough musical knowledge to make her own simple songs. the only one of them who can sing in any capacity. good at doing makeup and hair. terminally online. is absolutely the group's brand manager.

Hold on I'm thinking about Ivrel. Her body always regenerates to what "full health" would have been on the day she got hit by the meteorite. But that's not like... Perfect Health by any stretch. She still has all the scars and other afflictions she got before that day.
idk exactly what said afflictions would be, I'm just saying it's possible. Her lifestyle was not healthy at all.

me worried about Meridian seeming op for some reason when they do not fair well in most of their fights in the first book. in one of their first major fights, they immediately get punched so hard they almost die, are healed right after, and the same thing happens again.
their first villainous foil is a character who similarly sees themself foremost as weak but tricky... except it turns out they're actually surprisingly powerful.

literally completely unrelated aside from the fact i think both things are kinda funny but also thinking about aloysius caturnon. the first person in the world to ever be born with legit healing magic and he's just decided to be evil as fuck about it. welp.

something so funny about meridian bemoaning their situation like. buddy you created the situation. you carefully constructed this situation around yourself as a tactical move.

meridian having low empathy in general (autism) but also notable object empathy (also autism) is so funny re: tjong. tjong will be in his guy form acting obnoxious and meridian is furiously pretending to shoot lasers at him in their head. but then when he's a little sword meridian will like tuck him into a baby doll bed at night.

Dude I think I'm kind of obsessed with narratively framing immortality as a sort of curse
