Turkey Gay

**Debut** | TBA

**Turkey Gay** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Aşkktirndinisev from Askimağelinoğkelu, one of three moons orbiting the planet of Volkskunderzählungeschichte.

## Appearance

Turkey Gay is a turkey-like alien with bright pink skin, a dark blue beak, and a pale purple wattle hanging below, while his tail feathers are replaced with a fiery plume of the same three colors. His eyes have the shape of two merged circles, giving them a "melting" appearance, with the top circle colored white, the bottom circle colored black, and the separation between them colored purple, while his feathers are all a dark gray with pale gray markings on his chest, and both fiery streaks on the tips of his wings, and skinny, short legs with angular toes each having the same three colors as his eyes. Turkey Gay wears a top hat levitating above his head with a faint red glow around it, and a small brown belt with a golden buckle above the rim.

Turkey Gay wears the Simplicitrix on the bottom of his top hat.

## Personality

Turkey Gay is extremely civilized and empathetic in nature, with his pure friendliness, natural acceptance of others, and innate capacity for both listening and understanding easily making him one of the most benevolent species from within the Simplicitrix. His kindness and compassion will even go as far as for him to outright refuse to challenge his opponents if he senses a deeper conflict within them or behind their urge for violence, although he will not spare any of his goodwill to those that in his eyes, are completely beyond compassion, such as murderers.

## Powers

* Turkey Gay's presence releases a soothing psionic energy that calms people and clears their minds, allowing him to better comprehend the mindset of others, or for them to do the same with others, essentially allowing him to induce empathy and its associated feelings. Unlike Calmybara, who more so serves to physically relax others, Turkey Gay is instead more therapeutic, able to allow people to open up and reveal their issues, ranging from suppressed emotions, to poor mental health, to even their closeted sexuality.
	+ Turkey Gay's psionic energy can make people realize and accept their own sexual orientation should they feel conflicted about it.
	+ Turkey Gay's psionic energy provides an "uplifting" feeling, both figuratively and literally, which he can use for limited levitation, such as for his hat.
* Turkey Gay is capable of short-distance flight.
* Turkey Gay has a sharp beak and talons.

## Weaknesses

* Turkey Gay's greatest limitation is the fact that he cannot bring himself to save others that are beyond saving, as his ability to control empathy allows him to sense how much of it lies within someone's heart. If he finds someone completely devoid of it, he believes that are simply too evil, and the only way they can be saved is if they were actively wanting to change for themselves without him forcing their hand.
* Although Turkey Gay himself is immune because of the boundless goodness within his own heart, those he induces empathy within can be negated through the apathetic abilities of Reputantis Hebetem.

## Etymology

* Turkey Gay's name is a play on "turkey day," referring to Thanksgiving, and "gay," referring to his ability to make others come to terms with their sexualities.
* Turkey Gay's species name is the Turkish translation of "sağ elin oğlu" meaning son of the right hand, which is what the name Benjamin means, a nod to Benjamin Franklin, and "askim," Turkish for my love, and "kel" meaning bald, in reference to bald eagle.
* Turkey Gay's planet name is the Turkish translation of "aşk aşktır" meaning love is love, and "kendini sev" meaning love yourself.

## Trivia

* Turkey Gay was entirely made by Shark.
	+ WTB helped with tuning and adding onto some of his powers and weaknesses.
	+ Blake mentioned the usage of Turkish for the etymology of his species and planet names. Being a bird-like alien with Turkish etymology referencing Benjamin Franklin's desire for the American bird to be the turkey gives Turkey Gay some relation to Freegle.
* Turkey Gay comes from the same galaxy as Bear Hug, Circalien Rhythm, and Hippokrampus.
* Turkey Gay's appearance changes depending on the user, with the coloration of their skin, beak, wattle, and tail flames reflecting the user's sexuality, in Alan's case being the bisexual flag, and with the color of their eyes and wing flames reflecting the user's gender identity, in Alan's case being non-binary.
