Trivia

 * Color: #FF0000
 * Fulgur Ovid's name is derived from the Latin terms fulgur (lightning) and ovis (sheep) and is also a reference to a cyberpunk novel and a Roman poet: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and Ovid.
 * Fulgur's Fuu-chan nickname first appeared in a Tweet reply from Yugo on 22 February 2022. Yugo used this nickname since he had trouble pronouncing Fulgur Ovid, but it is now widely used by many and arguably more than Fulgur's actual name.
 * Fulgur has also stated that Fuu-chan is short for fudanshi.
 * Uki commonly refers to Fulgur as Fuufuu-chan. He derived this nickname from Fuu-chan, which was originally coined by Yugo, "because [Fuufuu-chan] sounds cuter".

Lore

 * His debut lore video presented him as a "Legatus", a cyborg super-soldier working for a post-apocalyptic city-state. However, Fulgur later revealed that this was all just an elaborate roleplay to mess with Vox, and that he's actually just an ordinary person with cyborg body parts who works as an archivist.
 * As an archivist, Fulgur looks through history and collects novels, several of which are visible on his bookshelf.
 * His debut roleplay was based off his old TTRPG character named Legatus, who he describes as a "murder hobo." He intends to continue the story of Legatus through a regular series of ARG streams.
