Ulillillia's Life
The tale of Ulillillia's life is an interesting one.
Early Childhood
Ulillillia does not remember much about his early life, except that he has played video games since age four. Due to his fears and tendency to associate video game dynamics with the real world, he was bullied ruthlessly. However, Ulillillia's good heart drove him to concern for his fellow classmates and often went out of his way to remind them of the dangers of the world. On his school bus, he found it appropriate to review the dangers of blue water to the other children. This eventually grew to a point that the bus driver told him to "drop it" every time he started in. Lunch in his school was difficult as well. The children were required to eat at least three different foods at lunch to ensure that they received the proper nutrition. Ulillillia disliked this rule and protested by consuming only eight cubic centimeters of food per lunch. This is also when he developed his fear of waiting in line, due to the frequent bullying he experienced.
Middle School
In sixth grade, Ulillillia began taking special classes to suit his specific needs.
High School
Freshman year in Ulillillia's high school was a miserable time. The bullying and harassment he received in ninth grade was far worse than what he experienced in previous years. After freshman year, he transferred to an entirely different special school. However, this special school also ended in complete and utter failure. This was when Ulillillia began having homework mailed to him, which also did not work. As a last resort, he began taking special one-on-one classes during after school hours. He managed to keep this up until graduating.
He received a high school diploma.
After graduation
He now spends his time in his room, working endlessly on his new video game. His spare time is spent playing the same video games repeatedly and occasionally updating his website or posting on internet forums. He aspires to one day be a game designer.
As of 2018 Ulillillia has a steady job, an apartment in Florida, and is living independently, defying all expectations of the internet bullies who harassed him.
Fears and aversions
- Mirrors - Ulillillia's most famous fear. Ulillillia cannot look into a mirror. When in public, he would often have to take many detours to get to his destination because of them.
- "Blue water" - This fear originated from video games. Ulillillia believed that if he were to enter any body of outdoor water (e.g. swimming pools, puddles, lakes, oceans) he would die instantly. Indoor sources of water (tap water, bathtubs, etc.) were considered "white water" and were perfectly safe. This fear was overcome when Ulillillia attended summer camp one year and was convinced by a camp councilor that water would not kill him. When questioned why he didn't realize water would not kill him when he saw other children swimming outside, Ulillillia believed that they possessed a "special ability" that protected them which he lacked.
- Ketchup/Mustard - This fear also originated in video games. Due to their colors being similar to lava as it appeared in Metroid (which would kill the player instantly), Ulillillia associated the two and believed that if he were to touch it, he would die. As with blue water, he assumed anyone who ate ketchup or mustard also had a special ability to survive it. This fear has since been overcome.
- Sunlit ground - Due to light casting shadows on the ground, areas of the ground often appear brighter than others.[Please clarify - why is he afraid of sun lit ground?]
- The Number 22 - Ulillillia considers this number to be unlucky.
- "People" and "person" - Ulillillia cannot stand these two words. This fear originated suddenly when he heard the words used on a cartoon at a young age, although it is unclear how exactly this triggered his aversion. If he notices either of them on a printed sheet of paper, he will scribble over them until they are completely hidden from view. Ulillillia normally uses the word "human(s)" as an alternative, but among intimates he uses "puh(s)" instead.
- Chairs - Ulillillia refuses to sit in chairs and prefers to sit on the floor. He is, however, willing to sit on sofas and benches, in booths, and on seats in moving vehicles.
