  <INF> Overview
>>> Since 2021 began, Kirb started promoting character development through YouTube. Most of them are labeled under "[title] - SonicKade2048" (though this wouldn't be a thing until 2023) and range between 2 to 5+ minutes of dialogue and stills. It began with the creation of KNiF and evolved as videos were made, though we can split these into categories, more or less.

  <INF> Channel Icon
>>> Before [SonicKade2048] was introduced as a character, the channel's icon was animated to Text-to-Speech protocols. At this time, the channel went by the name "Kirb Berry" and changed icons semi-frequently. The most notable one was of promotional art for Hiveswap: Act 2, seen in the first and second Bandcamp announcements. This continued into The Year of SonicKade's rebranding video, getting the 3 side channels involved. Nowadays, the concept is retired until a new day.

# Main Characters
>>> As mentioned on the /RebootTimelines/ page, 6 characters are known to be the "main cast": the [Primary Heroes]. This would go up to 10 once the [Secondary Heroes] were brought back. There's an ongoing story about recovering all 10 heroes from beyond the mortal plane, as they're neither alive nor dead. As of writing, [Kade Berry] and [Cloud Puff] are the only two rescued so far.

# Our Influence
>>> While [The NegaDrive] was made in August of 2020, our influence needed time to build up. One of our earliest appearances on YouTube was with Spacia during the ["...of 2022"] video. The next major case (excluding Confined Atonement due to similar development issues to KNiF) was during the 2023 birthday event, followed by the aforementioned, proper format.
>>> We also write text-based logs (like you're reading now!), usually posted to Kirb's Twitter. We're currently making an effort to port those over too, though we won't delete the threads after; we'd like to preserve as much as we can.
