The Fisher sect / clan is introduced in book #2, Soulsmith

## Brief

The Fisher clan (or sect) live in the Desolate Wilds, in the forlorn western region of the Blackflame Empire. Fishers are part of the Five Factions Alliance, along with Jai exiles, Sandvipers, Cloud Hammers, and the Purelake Temple sect. Like the other four factions, the Fishers search the Transcendent Ruins for magical treasures.

## Fisher Characters

The Fishers carry a big gold hook, and often a net. They keep boats on Purelake. They have webbed fingers, as a Goldsign.

* Fisher Ragahn, Truegold. The leader of the sect, he is called The First Fisher. He is old, raggedy, gray-haired, barefoot. He looks like a beggar. But he’s one of the strongest sacred artists in the Wilds, and seems reasonable enough.

* Fisher Gesha the old clan soulsmith. Truegold.

## Hated Sandvipers

The Fishers and the Sandvipers are historic feuding enemies.

>  There were constructs in the tent to heat what water they brought, but if there existed any constructs that could create water out of madra, only the Purelake might have Soulsmiths skilled enough to build them. Maybe the Fishers, but he couldn't have any dealings with the Sandvipers' ancestral enemy. Not openly, anyway. (Soulsmith, ch 6)
>
>

## Path

Path of the Fisherman, aspects of force madra, perhaps gravity. The Goldsign is webbed fingers.

Hidden Spring Iron body.

>  The Hidden Spring Iron body. So called because they can go a long time without drinking water, so the idea is that they have a "hidden spring" inside their bodies and they never have to drink at all. This isn't true, it's just a myth they cultivate. Their bodies process water more efficiently so that they can survive longer in the wilderness of the Desolate Wilds where finding fresh water can be all but impossible. (Will Wight Abidan Archive e899)

## Soulsmithing

This clan follows a Path with aspects of force, like gravity. This attracting type of madra works well for Soulsmithing because it helps bind constructs together. The clan soulsmith is Fisher Gesha, a very old, very wizened Truegold who plays a big role in books #2-6, mainly. She travels to the heart of the Blackflame Empire with Lindon and becomes his tutor, teaching him her trade.

She entered the Royal Group to purposely get near to Qin Feng.

She had to win over Qin Feng’s heart. So she pretended to be a poverty-ridden young girl who was looking for a part-time job. Finally, she succeeded in deceiving Qin Feng and entered the Qin Manor to become Young Master Qin’s housekeeper.

She knew from the start that Xiao Bai was not the real Young Master Qin.

This, however, was not the case for Xu Ruo Rou; she had grown fond of Qin Feng in this reality show. She had no other relatives aside from her grandmother, but she received a lot of love from Qin Feng.

Slowly, she treated the residents of Qin Manor as her new family bit by bit. She had Qin Huang as her serious and lovable uncle. She got to know Rao Shi Man and became her bestie. And Li Yu Chen, she too treated her as one of her best friends.

Xu Ruo Rou knew about Han Ying Ying’s alliance with Qin Ye for a long time and she tried to warn Qin Feng, but he paid no mind to her warning.

EE Factions

**Intent** refers to an aspect of magic on Asylum.

 Basics

* Readers - People with the ability to "read" the history and identity of an object to determine who has touched it, their state of mind, and its purpose. Also, once they have a full grasp of the objects specific reading, they are able to make changes to that object by investing the item with their "Intent", or, their desire for the object to serve a specific purpose.
* Souldbound - A person that has been magically bound to an object of power and through the bond has gained the ability to call upon the objects powers as their own.

## In-Depth Explanations

### **Awakening**

> *...we still know next to nothing about the process we call "Awakening". I will summarize our knowledge as best I can.*

Readers may awaken objects by which process they transform their physical appearance and properties and granting increased power. Awakening an object also seems to impart a small degree of "awareness" to the object; the strength and nature of the awareness is related to its original "Intent". Once an object has been "Awakened" it may not longer be further "Invested" or "Awakened" for a second time.

Xorrus

Sacred Arts
Cradle Locations
Cradle Factions
Cradle Theories

 Xorrus is a gold dragon at Herald rank. She serves the dragon-boy Monarch Seshethkunaaz. She is a grandmother to Sopharanatoth and Ekerinatoth.

## Description

Xorrus is a sacred beast, an ancient gold dragon at the level of Herald. She is the left hand of the Dragon Monarch Seshethkunaaz. She is the grandmother of Sopharanatoth and her sister, Ekerinatoth.

She is called **Desert-bringer, the Breath of Destruction, the Eternal Sandstorm**

She was one of the Heralds who formed the original pact of Ghostwater.

## Path

“Gold dragons have a natural affinity for fire and water aura” (Uncrowned, ch 3) but Xorrus seems to be on a Path similar to Seshethkunaaz, The Path of the Wasteland

## Book Bios

Mainly, Xorrus plays a role in Books 7 and 8, Uncrowned and Wintersteel. She is neck-deep in evil plots before, during, and immediately after the 18th Uncrowned King Tournament / UKT.

She orchestrated several ambushes on the cloudships conveying Akura teams to the UKT. under her direction, numerous students from Min Shuei’s Frozen Blade School were injured or worse. (Uncrowned, ch 8?)

She did her best to help Sopharanatoth win the tournament and the weapon Penance. However, Yerin Arelius defeated Sophara (Wintersteel, ch 26)

Later, she attacked clan Akura at Sky’s Edge. Her final battle was against Akura Fury (Wintersteel, ch 26-27)

### Dragon Form:

Xorrus is a dragon, golden and serpentine, with a cloud of sand rolling around her like smoke. Her wings are each big enough to strike cloudships from the air. She has gleaming fangs, golden dragon eyes with vertically slitted pupils.

### Human Form:

Gold dragons who practice the sacred arts are called Sacred Beasts, and if they advance far enough, they can change their animal shape, even take on human shape. Xorrus, in human form, has a perfect human body. Her golden hair shimmered like the sun, and her limbs were in flawless proportion. Even her eyes were human circles instead of draconic slits.

## Personality

Xorrus is devoted to her Dragon Monarch like most of the Dragons in books. She is close to her granddaughter Sopharanatoth and was present with her during Overlord advancement to help with any accidents.

Sophara notes that if Xorrus had a flaw, it was that she cared too deeply about her family.

## Enemies

Dragons have been enemies of the Akura Family for centuries, constantly vying for control of the entire Ashwind continent. Dragons have the eastern half of the landmass and Akura has the western half, roughly split. Dragons have always been extremely hostile toward the Akura family. Xorrus the Dragon Herald is the mortal enemy of Akura Fury. Clashes of these two Heralds have leveled entire cities and battlefields before.

Dragons also hate the Monarch Northstrider, who hunts their species.

Another enemy is The Beast King

Suriel

The power of the Phoenix is the power of restoration. An Abidan of the Phoenix Division can use the Way to return order to a system, restoring it to prime condition. Phoenixes are used as mechanics and engineers as often as healers, and are prized on any battlefield.

      Though skilled Phoenix Abidan are rare, and their division small, they are also very durable. A Phoenix is said to be the second-most difficult of the Abidan to destroy (after a Titan), since powerful Phoenixes can regenerate even from total destruction.

      The Phoenix herself, Suriel, is the only entity capable of restoring the condition of an entire Iteration at once. This can cause irregularities for both the Spiders and the Hounds, so she is required to notify Sector Control prior to temporal reversion.

## Appearance

Transparent gray ghostlines run from the back of her head, twisting down her right arm to terminate in her fingers. The Mantle of Suriel runs behind her as if she had tied a river of burning light around her neck. Her white uniform is seamless, a layer of inch-thick liquid armor that coats her from her neck down to her toes. It appears like Forged madra, which is close enough to the truth. She bears flaming blue wings and her weapon hangs at her hip, a meter-long shaft of blue steel. Her long hair drifts around her, luminescent green and shining against the darkness of space. Her eyes are large and purple, and her irises expand to take up most of the sclera. They are marked with a ring of symbols recognizable as script. They are tools to help her see the flow of fate.

## Ability

Ozriel is well-known as the most powerful Judge, However, he has no ability as a Phoenix. He has made it a point to befriend both the previous Suriel and this one, holding their talents in high esteem.

Suriel is an accomplished Fox (who excel at instant travel) and an able Spider (who detect deviations in chaos).She is the only entity capable of restoring the condition of an entire Iteration at once.
Lou

An early concept of Lou.

> Louis is rumoured to be one of the oldest living people in The Zoo. It is said that he lost his natural vision and voice when exposed to the chemicals of the war, and has since had his face and throat replaced with synthetic components. Always an early- investor in technology, before the war he possessed lung augmentations which later allowed him to safely inhale the toxic gas, but exposure of his throat to the gas burned the flesh away.
>
>

> *Lou was obviously a Tango; the top of his face was covered by a permanent mask, obscuring his eyes (if they still existed) and replacing them with tech. The eyes were now camera, with wide lenses of a dark blue hue, independently moving, much like a chameleon’s . Another prosthetic began under his chin, and descended down the front of his neck, replacing the windpipe, and disappeared behind his collarbone.*
>
>

He has the ability to expel smoke/gases from his mouth/throat augmentation.

## Combat Style

Lou favours a stealthy approach to hostile encounters. Rarely engaging in close-quarter combat he instead chooses to remain undetected, which is aided by his cybernetics and lightweight build. His mechanical eyes aid movement through darkness, while his respiratory prosthesis allows him to move quickly. In a firefight, he has been known to fire a silenced pistol, or take on a support role by deploying smoke.

## Trivia

* It is suggested that Lou was previously a keen sportsman, and played basketball before the apocalypse. This would explain his adoption of prosthetic lungs in the time before the war.
* PXE, Tilley, and Lou represent the states of matter of solid, liquid and gas respectively.
Second Battle for Furville

The **Second Battle for Furville** saw the second civil war between the citizens and Saveli Cornell after he had already taken over the city. Rolan Yamamoto would help lead the revolt after he betrayed Saveli when relations between the two grew sour during his reign.

Chronologically, it was meant to be the conclusion to Casey Universe.
Sixam Chat

**Sixam Chat** is an XMPP-based IM service created as a result of the merger with FRAME and Sixam maintained by antonwilc0x.

## MUC Rooms

* Games
* Second Life

## History

### As FRAME

Sixam Chat began as a backup for Fennec Retreat, if Discord and Telegram suffer a major outage. FRAME went under *now.im* subdomain as *frame.now.im*. The name was an acronym for **F**ennec **R**etreat Inst**a**nt **Me**ssaging.

### As Sixam Chat

FRAME became Sixam Chat after the service merged with Sixam Studios under *sixam.xyz* when attempts to buy a domain named "frame" and "bodkin", a fictional company created antonwilc0x, failed. Previous usernames under the original subdomain would remain active until September 27th, 2019.
Tonytins.xyz

**Tonytins.xyz** is Anthony's personal website that's dedicated to the Bark Pack web comic. The name is based off of the nickname given to him by his friends. It's the successor to Sixam.

## History

### Github project portal

Prior to becoming the dedicated home of the Bark Pack comics, Tonytins.xyz served as a portal for Anthony's starred Github projects.

### Webcomic hosting

The website became dedicated Anthony's web comics following his realization that being a comic artist is what he felt happy doing it, and would always imagine stories in that medium. This lead to the introduction of the new logo and signature, inspired by HP.

As Sixam was never really known outside of Anthony's small group friends and failed to live up to his expectations, due to the lack content that eventually made it's way to Tonytins.xyz, there was no need for a announcement of it's shut down. Going to Sixam's website (sixam.xyz) now redirects to Anthony's personal website.

>  Chunks of the surrounding mountains hurled themselves at Fury, courtesy of the Abyssal Palace Herald. The Herald of Redmoon Hall struck with waves of bloody needles like crimson cloud banks, while the Herald of the Silent Servants cut at Fury with endless slashes of a white sword that lit up the sky. The Stormcallers had no Herald, but one Sage. It was hard for Lindon to follow the exact details of the fight, but the Sage of Calling Storms seemed to be wrestling against Fury’s authority, opposing whenever Fury made one of his echoing commands. Lindon could feel the will pressing down on Fury, constraining him. The newborn Monarch kept fighting. (Wintersteel ch 26)

Anthony and Zack

**Anthony & Zack** is a slice-of-life visual novel centered around Anthony Wilcox and Zack Casey, respectfully. The visual novel focuses on the title characters exploring Fairview after initially starting their day at the DMV. Meanwhile, Kit Welsh hanging out with Winter Green after the latter informed him Zack and Anthony location.
Casey Universe

**Casey Universe**, also known as the **Casey Universe era**, and commonly abbreviated as **CU**, was meant to be a more serious sequel with slightly more adult themes in contrast to the comedic web comics from slice-of-life or shout outs to real life from which it was based on.

CU was based on the idea of an epic. It took the main characters around the world in search of resources to defeat the bad guy, Saveli Cornell (Dr. Puppy), that had taken over the city, Furville. It was meant to be split into multiple series of short ebooks that focused on every aspect of what was that universe. It started with introduction of the characters; war for Furville; Saveli's reign and main character's travel across the world; and the second war for Furville. The project was canceled because Tomis couldn't fill in the middle part.
Legends of Z

Taking place in the middle ages, **Legends of Z** is a action RPG about a small fox, Zack, out to collect powerful crystals before Arch Hunt uses them to take over the world. As the name implies, the game is inspired by Legends of Zelda, and based on an concept by an old friend back in 2005. The game is being developed by Tonytins.

## History

Legends of Z began as a concept created by Tup, a friend of Tonytins, back in 2005 as a small Visual Novel-style flash game. While nothing came out of it, at the time, the concept stuck around for decades.
Open creature

A **open creature** is fictional creature designed for anyone to use for any purpose without requiring express permission from the author. They are normally under some form of a permissive license or require only credit to the author in order use.

## Examples

* Familiars
* Sprites

Wind

The power of wind is rarely used in the books and it's limitations are up for debate. However, on a most basic level, wind can be called on a travelers Dragon Fang, appearing to heat and sharpen the blade. This ultimately has the effect of allowing the Dragons Fang to cut materials that would normally be invulnerable, notably, Tartarus Steel. The limits on what it can and cannot cut are unknown, as is it's location and challenge within the house.

Tonys Dress Up

**Tony's Dress Up** (formally **Nathan's Dress Up**) is a dress up game created by Tonytins. The game is a remake of ZC's Dress Up, a flash game created by the same person that was published on DeviantART.

The game was officially published to Windows and the Web via Itch.io. Unlike it's predecessor, the latter does not require a plugin and uses HTML5 with WebAssembly instead. It has been translated to Swedish.

## History

### Port to Remake

Tony's Dress Up was originally intended as a direct port of Zack's Dress Up. The 1½ was removed when the drag-and-drop were succeeded by for something to similar to The Sims 2: Body Shop's "Build Sims" mode with the additional sprites from earlier iterations added. The modes were split and known as Modern and Classic.

### As Nathan's Dress Up

Zack was renamed to Nathan in order to avoid confusion with the character Anthony, who's second name was Zack at the time. While the justification for the species change was due to Anthony's drawing style unintentionally drawing Nathan similar to a cat instead of a fox at the time the original Flash games were made. However, this would be short lived.

### Transition to SVG

Tony began remaking the sprites in SVG format in order to move away from his dependency on Flash with his first game and open source the content portion of the game. The remaster also saw the second species change from a cat to a fennec.

### As Tony's Dress Up

After the SVG transition was completed, Tony rebooted the project's Github by clearing it's prior history. Recent efforts have been to modernize the UI.

Fairview

**Fairview** is the fictional town/city in the United States, located in the Fairview county.

The name is common among American towns while the location purposely remains ominous in order to give that timeless feel inspired by The Simpsons. The decision was based on having previously set Bark Pack in the city of Furtropolis, formally Furville, located in another world entirely, but the amount of time taken to fill in the city's backstory proved to be overwhelming. America was choosen based on the "write what you know" ideology.

Battle for Furville

The **Battle of Furville** was a civil war between the citizens of Furville and Saveli Cornell. Saveli would ultimately go to win the war. As a consequence, it displaced many citizens, while others served under his rule.

Chronologically, it was the second part in Casey Universe, succeeding Whiskers, and being preceded by Saveli's reign.
Sprite

A **Sprite** is a life form that exist inside all Systems and the Net.

Most family of sprites have physical forms similar to animals. Their guard/outer fur is a “unnatural” subtle color. All of them have blood that is made up of energy and causes their guard fur to glow occasionally. This can be used as a defense mechanism, if the need arises.

Sprites have many different abilities. These abilities determine what they're capable of doing. They may added or removed through their PID (Personal Identification) badge using plugins. The number and types of plugins a sprite may have is determined by how complex their algorithm is. This makes them capable of exploiting parts of a system for good or bad.

They are not gender-less and may be male, female, or both. However, their sex is independent of their physical form. So they may look male but contain female parts. Their algorithm will usually do subtle modification to their thighs if their physical form wasn’t designed for that sex. Sprites are capable of creating new sprites through procreation - how that works I’ll save for another document. They also need to use the bathroom.

Sprites do not die under normal circumstances because they’re made out of reconfigurable data. Old Sprites or those that receive fatal injuries begin to fragment. Their data eventually recomposes itself into a egg while it begins to defragment itself until it’s done. At that point, it hatches and is reborn again. Allowing them to can go through their life cycle another time. Sprites who are reincarnated retain their memories of their past incarnation but loose their plugins. If the defragmentation is interrupted, they will be deleted. They have a finite amount of reincarnations even as the exact amount remains undetermined.

They have a similar concept of weather as Users do. But they react to hot and cold climates differently. Sprites generally work best at temperatures below 60°C/140°F. They frequently choose to live in data centers over home computers because they’re kept relatively cool climates throughout the year. Temperatures above 60°C reduce their performance and can increase the risk of permanent deletion.

Sprites are generally peaceful creatures. They are built to learn from trial and error. Sprites try to balance “me time” with helping others but also know that their existence does sometimes rely on cooperating with the User. They don’t know if a User created them or if they evolved on their own.

Saveli Cornell/Deviant

**Saveli Cornell** (also known as **Dr. Puppy**) was scientist and inventor. He tested out his skills as an inventor by replacing varies video games in a video game shop with robotic duplicates that would raid it.

He has a short fuse and takes offense when being called a "puppy." That has not stopped others from given him the nickname "Dr. Puppy."

## Behind the scenes

Dr. Puppy's actual name was unknown at the time of the character's introduction in Attack of the Video Games. His name was first retroactively changed during Casey Universe and again as Saveli Cornell for Bark Pack when Tomis forgot his name in CU.
Naru Saeya

Naru Saeya is an Underlady in the Blackflame Empire. She is of the imperial Naru clan and well-connected. Beginning with book 4, she is a key secondary (sometimes tertiary) character in the Cradle series.

## Relatives

She is the Emperor's younger sister. Underlord Naru Gwei, Captain of the Skysworn (Organization) is her uncle. She is also related to Naru Jing, and by marriage to Jing’s husband Cassias Arelius.

## Personality

Energetic. Friendly enough. Brave. She can be rash, charging into action like a bull. Seems to have developed a friendship with Eithan Arelius and his young associates, especially Yerin.

## Appearance

Saeya is an acknowledged beauty. She has brilliant emerald wings as her goldsign. She wears peacock feathers over her ear. She is 35 years old in book 8, Uncrowned.

> **The Emperor's little sister was tall and strikingly beautiful.**
>
> -Skysworn, book 4
>
>

## Powers, Abilities

She is highly skilled on her Path. Before Eithan arrived, she was the youngest Underlady in the realm. In book 4, Skysworn, she was ranked among the top 7 Underlords/ladies in the realm. She represented the Empire in the Uncrowned King Tournament, along with Yerin Arelius and Eithan Arelius.

## Path

The Path of Grasping Sky is the Imperial Path. It is illegal for anyone except the Naru clan to practice it. It uses aspects of wind madra. After years of practice on the Path, Copper sight is tuned to the wind, improving battle senses and perception. Furthermore, this Path enables skillful artists to hold an opponent in place with wind. Key notable sacred artists on this Path include the Emperor Overlord, Naru Huan, the Skysworn Captain, Naru Gwei, **Naru Saeya**, and the rising star of the younger generation, Naru Jing
Cboy

**Cboy**, an abbreviation for **Cuntboy**, is a term used to describe male characters born with female genitals. This is not to be confused with transgenders or flat chested women.

## Controversy over the term

There is some controversy over the use of "cuntboy". It's sometimes considered to be a derogatory and it's obviously not safe to say in an work environment because of how explicit the first word is; however, it's also the most memorable *because* of that exact word. Some people may use "intersex," a more broad term, to describe cboys but also others. The two terms are often used simultaneously on sites like e621.

## In the Sixam Universe

Cboys are common in the Sixam Universe.

Mountain Peaks

**Mountain Peaks** is an fictional Amtrak train that stops at Fairview. The train serves California, Chicago and Washington, DC, with Fairview being an intermediate stop. The train gets a fresh new pair of locomotives while at Chicago.

## Behind the scenes

In reality, no Amtrak train is capable traveling the full 4,000 miles (6,437 km). Long distance trains in America head to and from Chicago and Washington, DC, or to and from Chicago and California. The Mountain Peaks trains make travels to New York from Washington, DC, more viable within the narrative while still keeping Fairview state's location vague.
Hist

> "*Stagefright?"*
>
>

Agent Hist is an ex-assassin and neutral character with respect to The Gang. Trained from infancy by the Acid Assasins to be an assassin, Hist later escaped and works toward his own sense of moral good.

Hist is first introduced in the prologue of *Rogue Observer*, where he fights Virginia Klux in a widely-broadcasted cage match, where they easily win and announce their intentions to the large audience.

Under the Assassins, Hist grew up sheltered from the Underworld, and instead was raised in a secret academy and trained in combat, the surviving languages, programming and computer science, and general survival. The story of their birth remains a mystery to everyone including them self, and it is unknown how extensive their adaptations are, if they exist at all. To the untrained eye Hist appears entirely unassuming - apparently a Darwin - as part of Hist's training included how to blend in with other citizens of the Underworld.

Hist is one of twenty other Acid Assassins raised in a similar fashion, each of which was trained toward a different mode of assassination.

Hist lives alone at the lowest level of Sactuary. Here they can come and go without interruption. Hist also built his own robot, a crab-like hexapod that carries a succulent plant on its head. The robot moves from UV light to UV light to keep the plant sustained.
The Zoo

The Zoo is the name of a region (or club) of the Underground and is the location for which the fictional universe is named.

A club's name will also refer to the central area of that region. For example the political region of The Zoo is controlled centrally at the geographical location of The Zoo (sometimes referred to as Club Zoo or Zoo Central). A region will include numerous named locations within it, for example The Zoo region contains both Club Zoo and Sanctuary within its borders.

### Trivia

1. *Zoo* is a reference to the club event known as Brooklyn Zoo that would take place in Oxford in the late 2010's.
William

### Summary

William is a Romeo whose embryo was conceived in the old world and preserved until they were born in the Riot region of the Underground.

Like all Romeos, William was genetically engineered before he was born and given birth to by an surrogate. Sharing a surrogate uterus, William and Tycho were raised together as siblings and have always had a heated rivalry.

William's genetic enhancement offer them increased strength and intelligence, accelerated reflexes and healing speed, and a very large working memory compared to non-Romeo individuals.

Notable differences between William and Tycho are their different opinions of adaptation. While Tycho sees adaptation as a worthy means of increasing power, and tends to be morally bad, William chooses to remain unchanged beyond his pre-programmed genetics, and is generally leans to moral good. William's opinions on adaptation focus on the idea that 'improving on God's plan' is impossible.

### Physical Appearance

William is notable for their exceptional sense of style. Often donning expensive old-world style suits, including tuxedos. They prefer to fight will a pistol and fisticuffs.

### Trivia

1. The original concept for William was simply: "genetically enhanced to be a total badass, and look great while he does it."
Pixie

Pixie (or PXE) is a unit. He has had the heart of an elephant transplanted into him, and as thus is physically very powerful. The heart is suspended in a carbon nanofiber container and his ribs in that area replaced with titanium equivalents, visible through the skin. PXE is around 7ft tall and built like a brick shit house. This is due to the combination of elephant heart and the vast amount of drugs he takes to keep himself at that size. The drugs are applied via a mechanical dock across his collarbone. He is able to pay for the drugs by undertaking jobs for men of his ability in strength and intimidation. He is ultimately, however, a good guy.

At the beginning of the story he is working as security for The Zoo.

## Notable Quotes

* "You can't fight tumours with rumours."
* "He gets about five miles to the bladder."
Coral

Coral, also known as *The Medusoid*, or *Gorgon*, is an antagonist in The Zoo first seen in *Rogue Observer*. Originally from the enigmatic Riot Club region of the Underground, they come from a background of wealth and means. Additionally, Coral is exceptionally beautiful and was a famous model for outlets in The Studio as well as an advocate for L\*IMAH's education programs. They are the victim of vile experimentation by Tycho and are subsequently transformed by otherworldly technology. Before the events of *Rogue Observer* they were a Darwin with no adaptations. They are later experimented on by Tycho the Psycho under orders from PT Ben and subsequently uses three prehensile tentacle-like legs to move.

### Events of Rogue Observer

Coral is first discovered by Tiris and Poet on video recordings found in the secret lab. They learn that kidnapped individuals have been 'fed' to Coral (or the extra-dimensional beast acting as parasite to them). It is clear that Coral undergoes immeasurable pain during this period. These sacrifices lead to Coral's transformation into The Medusoid (referred to as the Gorgon by Henri), a beast of dozens of metallic tentacles that invade from an Einstein-Rosen Bridge at Coral's midriff.

The Medusoid invades The Basement under the control of Tycho, with Coral acting as a host or puppet. Dozens are killed before Henri and others are able to subdue Tycho, releasing Coral and allowing her escape. Before she leaves she reveals Tycho's name to Henri.

### Physical Appearance

Coral has an attractive feminine appearance, wearing their hair long and black, seen often in a flattering red dress with expensive jewelry.

### Trivia

1. Coral and Medusoid, are references to the phylum *Cnidaria*, which contains species of aquatic animals notable for their tentacles, including jellyfish. Medusa-phase or Medusoid specifically refers to the phase in the life cycle where tentacles are grown. Gorgon refers to monsters of Greek mythology notable for their hair made of snakes; *Medusa* is the name of one of three Gorgon in named in Greek myth.
2. The original, working names for Coral were Herm-Aphrodite, and Three-Dicks, in reference to the phallic nature of Coral's cybernetic tentacles. These names were scrapped early on.
Poet

Early concept of Poet.

> ""*He hadn’t counted. Fucking amateur.""*
>
>

Poet is one of the central protagonists of The Zoo. He is a non-augmented (Darwin) male who grew up in and is a citizen of The Zoo territory.

In his original design he is a ~6ft tall male, with short brown hair pushed into a tall quiff. He is generally seen wearing an expensive bomber jacket made from synthetic leather and synthetic wool, and a holstered pistol slung under his arm.

## Combat Style

Poet is an expert with small firearms and hand-to-hand combat. His upbringing without any enhancements has forced the perfection his combat skills. He is fierce and resourceful in a fight; while unarmed he was able to kill both Mohawk Insanity and Four-Five, who had ambushed the lone Poet without his gun.
Chyme

### Summary

Chyme is the adoptive brother of Bolus, and adoptive son of D'Beck. He is a huge, obese male with the appearance of a grown man, but has the true and mental age of a five year old. Like his brother, Chyme was 'rescued' from death by D'Beck and enhanced by his experimental treatments.

Much like Bolus, Chyme survived and grew to an enormous size and requires large and regular quantities of nutrients to survive. Unlike his brother however, Chyme does not need to enter the vat of fluid and tubes (nicknamed *Mummy*) and instead receives his nutrition continuously via a tube that descends down his oesophagus, which is itself supplied by a backpack that Chyme carries with him at all times. Due to the nature of his feeding, Chyme is unable to speak properly, and is unlikely to ever learn how, despite being mentally able. However, Chyme is able to see and can interact with the world more easily than his brother, who sees only what is in his headset. As such, he makes a much more able assistant to D'Beck, and will often perform simple, unimportant tasks around the laboratory and home.

Chyme is evidently very caring of his brother and father, acting tenderly toward them with hugs and touching. They is also protective; if the family unit is threatened Chyme is also prone to anger and violence.

### Physical Appearance

Chyme is over two meters tall and easily over 200 kilograms in mass.They have dark olive skin and, likely due to his advanced age of five, has some coverage of dark hair on his chest, shoulders, legs, and head. They are mildly less chubby than their sibling and show more muscle mass, again likely due to their older age. Chyme always carries a tank of creamy semi fluid paste strapped to his back. Tubes ascend from the tank and meet a mouthpiece before descending down Chyme's oesophagus to his stomach. Chyme has brown eyes and long eyelashes.

### Trivia

1. Chyme is defined as a thick, semi fluid mass of partially digested food.
