:o

The :o tag captures the moment an Esper sees something incredible on the unpredictable streets of Hethereau. Whether it's a random encounter with a warped urban anomaly glitching out of a storefront or the pure awe of watching a fully customized hyper-car drifting through a neon-lit intersection, this expression adds a touch of humanity to the cast. The tag often shows character designs in a casual chic and urban-pop style, with wide eyes and open mouths in surprise, which perfectly reflect the bizarre reality of their daily lives in the city.

The surprised expression artworks have a huge meme potential and a sheer charm so fans and digital artists actively look for these artworks. The :o face is a ridiculously popular phone wallpaper or profile picture on social media, giving the characters a relatable, playful energy. For artists, it is a fantastic reference pool for practicing dynamic facial expressions and emotive lighting. You can see how neon street lamps or anomalous glows are reflected off of a character who has just been completely caught off guard by Neverness to Everness supernatural phenomena.
