Proposal: Infobox

DDDragoni (talkcontribs)

I'd like to set a image for Oko's infobox (the first one in her gallery, labeled "Oko by Hen") and add a Community Reports tab, with pronouns (she/her), species (fae), and interests (Poetry, Jazz Music, Instilling Fear in the Weak-willed)

First addition: Fae Oko

Fae Creature

Between the trees in the dark, sifting amongst the heavy fog, a shadow emerges. It takes long strides, stepping over fallen branches and dead undergrowth with the lightest of sounds. It stands nearly nine feet tall, its silhouette vaguely elk-like, with cloven feet and a long, snake-like tail that fans the clouding fog away. Twinkling wires hang between bark-like antlers, somehow playing an eerie, yet gentle song. In the faint, faint light emitting from the Wlaffle House of Elsewhere, two forward-facing luminescent eyes flutter their lashes mockingly.

And then she is standing in the ashes of death, the ground still simmering beneath her, bright sunlight filtering down and revealing a smile full of shark teeth and a silver tongue. She struts to the batter's box. 5 runs scored. [Excerpt from the 22nd iteration Los Angeli Prime Times]

Oko, The Name Thief


Pannonica Oko has been around for a very long time. She walks confidently between the spaces in the universe that others shy from. She speaks, vaguely, about the wonders beyond normal human comprehension. Rumors of her circulate and then disperse like smoke, leaving behind only the faintest awareness that anything was rumored at all. What one can say most assuredly is that Oko is a batter for the LA Unlimited Tacos, but how exactly that came about, and how binding it is for someone like her, is still unknown.

Perhaps kind, once, she now portrays the most devious of traits of fae-kind. Manipulative, cold, prideful. She collects music, heartbreak, instances of perfect creations, compliments, and rumors about her like little snacks. Some say she plucks them out of the very place they are made and- oh. There that one goes. Gone, like all the rest.

She writes and recites poetry just to burn it, plays jazz not only for her enjoyment but because she knows it leaves people confused, dresses in flowing robes made of otherworldly material, and decorates herself with beads and jewels from places that no longer exist. Perhaps most importantly, and perhaps most deviously, is her desire for names.

Names are a form of power to the fae. So it is only fitting that she, the oldest, the wisest (most assuredly), and the most beautiful of all fae creatures, should indulge herself in the treat that many take for granted. It is her greatest skill, a closely guarded secret, one she uses on the many poor souls who enter Elsewhere expecting only waffles.

She has many tricks for name stealing, though what those tricks are, exactly, is hard to share without- oh. There goes another one.

Oko is also known for ████ and ███████. She-

She-

███████ It appears Oko has found her wiki page. [end]

Thefts, Both Known and Unknown:

Shortly after her arrival to the league, Basilio Fig returned from Elsewhere with their name fully scattered. While their name has returned since it is believed that Oko still holds some influence over them. Or perhaps that is simply what she wants everyone to believe.

█████ apparently has some sort of deal with Oko, which might have led to her arrival in the league.

Goobie Ballson’s connection to Oko, other than his death leading to 5 runs scored, is also debated. Did he know her? Did she know him, and of his death, and chose to come to this plane, for reasons still unknown?

Oko is referenced on several updated tacos pages, namely: Silvaire Semiquaver (all three IRMs), Lucas Petty, Hendricks Richardson, Wanda Schenn, and Son Jensen.

Silvaire (talk page: https://www.blaseball.wiki/w/Talk:Silvaire_Semiquaver):

  • Art thief Silvaire gets along with her great: "Semiquaver appears to have bonded quickly with Pannonica Oko and Basilio Mason over being the most high-fashion and fancy of the Tacos, taking it one step further with Oko by starting a friendly rivalry. This was possibly aided in Oko’s case by both being musically inclined and theft-inclined, and in Mason’s case by Semiquaver having heard a lot about him from his former teammates on the Lift and by them both being dramatic and tired."
  • Shadow Cartographer Silvaire extremely does not: "By contrast, she has expressed extreme suspicion of troublemaker and shapeshifter Pannonica Oko."
  • Party God Silvaire has some unstated history with her: "Semiquaver appears to have some sort of history with Pannonica Oko, having met her a long time ago. The story of exactly how they met varies wildly, but is known to involve a party, a lot of powerful beings in the same room, A Cat, possibly drugs, and at least 23 different endings. Interviews with other teammates suggest that Oko may be intimidated by Semiquaver; Oko denies all such claims and declines to comment."

Wanda (talk page: https://www.blaseball.wiki/w/Talk:Wanda_Schenn)

  • They don't get along: "Meanwhile, Pannonica Oko is grossed out by and dislikes Schenn, for reasons that may include Schenn being a Subtractor while Oko remains shadowed, and Schenn dislikes Oko in return due to Oko replacing Goobie Ballson in a relatively hostile manner."

Hendricks (talk page: https://www.blaseball.wiki/w/Talk:Hendricks_Richardson)

  • Only very briefly mentioned: "Pannonica Oko has expressed much interest in Richardson’s curses, not entirely kindly."

Petty (talk page: https://www.blaseball.wiki/w/Talk:Lucas_Petty)

  • Stored inside a choose function listing a bunch of Petty's relationships on the Tacos: "Petty does not get along with Pannonica Oko. Oko is the one who wastes the good hot sauce on spicy milk, stealing Petty’s own “megasauce” to do so, and also was the incineration replacement for Ballson in a less-than-friendly manner."

Son (talk page: https://www.blaseball.wiki/w/Talk:Son_Jensen)

  • They were briefly roommates: "Pannonica Oko tricked Jensen into active play by implying there was a legal emergency on the field and then sneaking off into the voicemail machine when he got there. She does not hold any resentment about that, to Oko’s chagrin. Due to some logistical difficulties that may have been Al Pastor trying to spite Oko, they were also assigned as roommates for Jensen’s first few weeks."
  • A reference to a not-on-the-wiki interpretation of Son who gets along very well with Oko, stored inside a choose function that contains references to some specific interpretations as well as general information about team dynamics: "Jensen, a bird, has recently been seen perching in Pannonica Oko's antlers."
