None of Sb's characters are overrated!
They always are underrated at at least one topic that would be very cool to talk about.
(For the amazing artist with the cool AU, are we allowed to send asks to other characters or did you wanna focus on only Caelus right now?)
-blue anon
Awnnnnnnn thank you!!! I'm glad you like my art and my au!
Technically, you can send asks about everyone, but they will be aswered by the messenger, who is an outsider point of view.
Being aswered by the characters themselves can be conquered through quests, or by triggering events where the characters are important!
For now, the quest situation is like this:
Hidden initial quests (1/2)
-Make Uranus laugh(✔)
-? ( )
[Obs: The system hasn't atualised all the facilities to adapt to Caelus New name, but we are working in it!]
When the quests are complete, you automatically win a new character!! And you get their character sheet.
There will be stances where the quests will be hidden, like the initial one. But otherwise, most of them will be written out on what you have to do!
But don't worry, on my ask box I saw a very interesting ask for me, that will very much get a new character unlocked :D
Though... since it's all new, I'll give you a little help for another new character.
Ask something to the messenger, they are pretty good with that.
Thanks for the ask!!
For Caelus-not-alone
Do you know why Earth was where you found him, he was quite far from his orbit wasn't he?
also I would suggest you change Earth's name to make him harder to track. I mean even i know him despite the fact (even tho i'm one of sun's planets) i live all the way out in the oort cloud!
wish you luck - your local oort cloud planet Tyche
Caelus: I think the Earth is the most famous planet from our solar system... Or maybe even in others.
Earth is kind of a celebrity around, since he is the first planets in this galaxy to have Life! Só people do hear a lot about him, though the distance from the others stars don't make his fame affect him much(except when it's inside the system himself).
Changing names is the most ideal option. A planet with Life wnadering around is a big deal in itself, they don't need the extra attention from people after telling them it's The Earth.
Thanks for the ask!!!
I'll call you Carelus now, my apologies for calling you Uranus earlier. I would offer suggestions to call the moon Rocky planet something, but any name I would come up with is bad enough that my moons have banned me from naming them. Like, I'm really bad with names.
Anyway, I'll be around, and if you need any help, I'll be there. Also, still sorry for calling you by the wrong name. My mistake too.

[No comment-for today]
Usually, the universe bestows names to planets and stars by birth. There are some planets that don't receive it, but it is quite common for you to be born knowing who you are, even if you can't actually talk yet.
Caelus first name was actually Georgium/George, but the Sun changed it to Uranus to fit the mythology theme.
Caelus doesn't remember being Georgium.
Ask for Uranus-Not-Alone
How will you find X if you haven't found anything that could at least give you a direction, a vague even??
Either way, I'm happy you and Earth are deciding to put yourselves first?
Got really bored watching from a distance, and nothing really was changing.

Caelus: I hope this error-thing does not happen that often.
[Warning: Uranus is not aware that you've been watching them before he left the system. Talking too much about things you were not supposed to know and talking about watching them before they left may cause suspicion(especially from an exoplanet), and you lose TRUST. Trust can be acquired and lost, and it affects the kind of information you receive from the characters.
This is your only warning. If you wish, you can send this kind of texts again, and it will no longer fall in error territory. But there will be consequences.
For you, they are characters. But to them?
You are very real.
Thank you for your patience.]
Things have been going nice, for now.
The Earth is also getting warmer, Caelus has been a great help! But he will not reach an average temperature above 4°Celsius(Earth's usual average temperature is 15-16°Celsius.)
A very small percentage of plants have been discovered to be using Caelus magic as a source of light for photosynthesis, but mostly can't. The earthlings are trying to produce more of those plants as a way to keep their oxygen leves stable enough. For now, Most of the other plants and tress are being raised in areas with Artificial lightning, that while not as efficient as the Sun, it's a resource that they have.
There have been lot of power outages, especially in areas with high dependente of Solar energy. But the earthlings are trying to help each other in the crisis. Bunkers are being made, People are sharing houses, and things, while not getting better, aren't getting much worse at the moment.
They still wonder why the Earth became a moon of Uranus. They have a lot of theories for that.
(None are right.)

The messenger has been updated. It is now able to carry small gifts.
Make good use of that.
Thanks for the ask!!!!
Ah! I remember when I made a theory on the Solarballs discord that I think Proto and Ceres were friends in the past! I'm so happy to see another fan also believes it! :D
YESSS, Ceres and Proto friendship has so, so much potential!!!!
I still haven't gotten into the new eps (Just finished Battle of Planet X), but from what I've seen from the fandom the Proto and Theia arc will give a lot of lore for me to work with!!!
I don't have discord, tho, so I can't see your theory. :(
Ep 1- What if:
Caelus takes Earth along out of the system.
This was a small thing that I thought, but what if Earth ended up going further, but instead of finding Jupiter, got lost and found Caelus first?
Short story under the cut.
Earth is lost, confused and does not know if he is going to be able to find the aswers he seeks. Caelus wants to find someone who cares about him out of being just a joke.
At first, Caelus says something, more of curiosity as to why Earth is there- It certainly is not because of him. Never because of him. The Earth, with his mind not really there, starts whispering about Life, finding aswers, angry friends and someone named Theia.
Caelus remembers that name from somewhere, somewhere before the card guessing game the Sun made them do, but he can't place it at the moment, just that it was important, or at least, it used to be. It didn't matter to him anymore, as he is keaving the system anyways.
But it seems to matter to Earth, as the small planet starts getting frustated about his aswer, over the fact that nobody seemed to either know or wanted to talk to him about it, his freezing body shivering from being too far from his orbit. Eventually, Earth tires himself out and falls asleep.
Caelus does not want to go back to the system, he does not feel like he belongs in there, but something in him also does not want to just leave Earth freezing in there, sad and alone. So, using his magic he tries his best to warm up Earth enough and holds the life planet in his arms.
And then takes them both out of the system.
After all, X would have the aswers they both seek.
I may write it more in dept in the future, but this is it for now. I think they both have some cool parallels that would make a nice story.
I might make more what is, too, if people show interest!!
Thanks for reading!!!!
In both Uranus and Earth development as characters, we can see that they have a lot of paralells. Both seek validation and acceptance from the others, but they have opposite circunstances.
-The Earth has the attention of the others, has always recived validation. But that validation is considered conditional(at the very least, he believes so) on the fact thet he is the only planet with Life. So he perfects his charade and acts above others as a way to not lose this validation and power, as as he believes he will lose everything he has the moment he becomes unhabitable. That was—partly, there were other factors into play— what caused the moon revolution, as he felt threatened that, if Titan had life too, he would lose value to everyone.
Personally, I don't think it's just Theia that made him have such a need for being the planet with Life, that made him stay with it even after everything. Maybe it was a initial factor, but it wouldn't have gotten so bad that he believes he would stop being someone special—in the way someone can be to the others— as soon as he lost it.
Uranus, on the otherhand, feels a lack in validation. Ever since he was given his name, he felt like a joke to the others, and searched to be able to be as close to others as he could. His character has made a lot of mistakes—All have, honestly— but it seems all to build down on his lack of self-steem and crave for positive attention. But honestly, I don't think that even if he gets some positive attention he will believe it's genuine, just another joke or pity.
It was easy for him to be manipulated and baited by the new name, because he believed that things would be better for him after that, the he would get the validation he wants after it. But it just made him commit more and more bad decisions, that left him frustated and made him wish to leave the system with the one person he falt validated with. But I hope he eventually learns to love himself the way he is, same for Earth. Dunno if he will stay with the name Caelus, but for now it feels appropriate to call him that, especially since it is an important arc of character development that he is having.
That's my opinion on the characters, at least.
Thanks for reading!!
HI! I saw your request for art suggestions so may I suggest theia and proto? (they are my everything and I may be a tad bit obsessed with them)
Hi anon!!! Here is your ask!!!
They are not found of each other.
-Theia, because she finds Proto irresponsable. She believes that the rockies will become as important as any giant if most of them have life, since the Sun also has dreams about planets with life. Proto's travels to the asteroid belt, games and acessories made with asteroids are a sign that he does not take any possible life seriously.
-Proto, because everyone loves her and listens to her, so he fears that if he says anything wrong to her everyone will jump on him(he does not have any friends besides the asteroid belt trio), yet, he still can be too honest about his opinions. He finds her really pretty, tho(In a "I wish my hair could be as long" "I wish my eyes were like hers" kinda way, not a crush).
Fun fact: Proto's name is actually Gaia, people just don't talk with him enough to keep it to memory.
Thanks for the ask!!
Ceres and Earth in the new episode!!!
Ceres is very happy to be close to their old friend once again!!! Though, they do wonder where Theia is...
Ceres confuses Luna with Theia. Even though they still remember the collision, they never exactly knew Theia's actual fate.
Earth is sleeping, I wonder when will he wake up...
Ceres is wearing Charon's clothing, as theirs were... kinda old. (She gave them one of the only ones that didn't have hers or Pluto's symbol.)
Could you do saturn and uranus
Mah fave planets even outside of solarballs lol
Hello color!!
Here you have it!!!
Personally, I'm not a fan of Saturn in general, but I love Uranus/Caelus, he is such a cool planet!!
I made the middle part as a reference as to how Uranus feels cast in Saturn shadow, just as a joke to the system.
(I never understood the joke, really. Why would Ura even care about earthlings enough to be bothered by what one of their languages interpret his name? Oh well.)
Thanks for the ask!
