Lilium ⚜️

Back to System Members

The Lilium group consists of our various fictives who branch out from "anchors" from the same source, typically the first of their respective subsystems to arrive.

Council Representatives

Ekko also serves as SPEAC's council representative.

Subsystems

♈ Aries

The Aries subsystem is a collective of fictives from the Hollow Knight game series, anchored by Hornet.

Hornet's avatar

Hornet (she/her) 🪡

In system: A fictive of Hornet from the Hollow Knight games. Helps manage our psychosis symptoms by lacking fear of our hallucinations. The anchor for the Aries subsystem and part of the nested Threadbound subsystem with Eva. Also has various median facets known as Crests. Currently dating Lace.

In source: Known as the Protector of Hallownest and the Daughter of Three Queens, Hornet wandered the ruins of Hallownest after her father, the Pale King, sealed the infection of the Radiance with the help of her birth mother, Queen Herrah of Deepnest. Standing watch over the Black Egg Temple where her half-sibling dwelt, sealing the Radiance inside its dreams, she took it upon herself to prevent any from disturbing it who were not strong enough to seal or defeat the Radiance in turn, eventually guiding the strongest of her half-siblings towards that very goal.

She would later be captured and taken to the kingdom of Pharloom, where she would endeavour to follow in her sibling's footsteps by freeing Pharloom from its haunted control, being both impeded and later aided along the way by Lace.

⚜️ Crests

Hornet's crests function as a median subsystem, maintaining some level of individuality internally but layered on top of her baseline personality when active. This exists in parallel to the Threadbound subsystem; while in theory they exist on even footing with Eva from a structural perspective, their inability to manifest fully without being filtered through Hornet creates a distinct dynamic by comparison.

Eva's avatar

Eva (she/her) 🪡

In system: A fictive of Eva from the Hollow Knight games. Part of the nested Threadbound subsystem with Hornet.

In source: A failed attempt by the Weavers to create an artificial higher being, with the hope of being able to contest Grand Mother Silk's power and potentially usurp her. Due to her physical frailty, Eva was considered a disgraceful failure, and the metal tank that sustained her life was buried at the bottom of Weavenest Atla, abandoned to eternity alone after the Weaver diaspora until she was eventually uncovered by Hornet. She would later request for Hornet to bind her, freeing her from her physical form and sacrificing her autonomy to allow her to experience the world through Hornet's eyes and become truly inseparable from the one she had come to deeply admire, a request which Hornet gladly granted.

Ghost's avatar

Ghost (it/its, they/them)

In system: A fictive of the Knight from the Hollow Knight games. Nonverbal. Chose its name from Hornet's nickname for it, due to lacking a proper name in source.

In source: An empty vessel created by filling the body of one of the Pale King's children with void, and one of thousands of siblings discarded into the Abyss when the Hollow Knight was chosen from among them. After escaping the Abyss into the wilds around Hallownest at an unknown point, it returned to the kingdom just as the Hollow Knight's seal on the Radiance was beginning to break.

Hollow's avatar

Hollow (it/its, they/them)

In system: A fictive of The Hollow Knight from the Hollow Knight games. Struggles with using our right arm due to losing its own in source.

In source: A vessel like its sibling Ghost, and the one vessel chosen to become the Hollow Knight, sealing away the angry god known as the Radiance within their own mind. However, the seal would eventually weaken due to their impurity as a vessel, caused by personal attachments to Ghost and their father.

Ekko's avatar

Ekko (she/her, he/him)

In system: A latecomer to the Scorpio subsystem, who considers herself genderfluid and transfem. His source was the first black character we ever considered the possibility of forming a fictive of, but in the end it was over a year before that prediction came true, likely thanks to the Myriad's Ororo and Mia helping test the waters.

In source: Violet and Powder's childhood friend, who acted as an informant helping with their various snatch jobs. After Vander's death and the sisters' separation, he eventually became the leader of a gang known as the Firelights, working to undermine Silco's control over Zaun and protect the people disenfranchised by both Silco and the leaders of Piltover.

Omega's avatar

Omega (they/he) 💎

Sonia's avatar

Sonia (she/her)

In system: A fictive of the titular protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Transfem for currently unclear reasons, potentially related to either Emi Jones' cover of Endless Possibility, the fan design created by LadyLunanova (which her avatar is fanart of), or both. Regularly frustrated by the fact that our body being physically disabled means she needs to take it slow, but oddly one of the better system members at taking the time to slow down and appreciate life. Currently dating Amy and Blaze.

In source: The free-spirited supersonic hedgehog hero of the world of Mobius, who constantly defends it from the schemes of the nefarious Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik.
