**Rory,also formerly known as Socko,**is a panther hybrid from an alternate dimension. They alongside their sibling Zynnia were the children of V's deceased childhood friend,Hopeless. As a young kit,a tornado struck,threatening the safety of where Hopeless was caring for her kits,V.T.95 rushed to the scene to save them as they ran to safety. A beam crashed onto Hopeless,trapping them. Rory,who was named Socko at the time,tried to run to help their parent only to be grabbed and whisked away to safety outside of the house. Enraged,the kit bit V.T.95's shoulder,causing them to drop them,with that chance they ran back to the house V having to chase them. Almost returning to their potential doom,V grabbed them again and ran away as soon as the disaster persisted,along with Vex Lab closing in. ''DON'T SAVE ME! SAVE HOPELESS!! PUT ME DOWN!!!'' Socko screamed in rage but it was far too late now. Socko began to resent V.T.95 for the whole ordeal,even blaming them for Hopeless's death. Growing up they gained V as their mentor,which enraged them further,Socko rejected his old name and changed it to Rory. It is unknown why they changed their name,but their bitterness grew. They stopped at nothing to try to ensure V's death even going as far to try to kill V in their own claws,a fox trap,other hybrids who went under his unknown hostile commanding powers,even trying to poison them. All attempts failing. Rory trained in the Dark Glitched World with their new mentor being Chestor/Major, V's other best friend. Chestor suggested to try to talk to V and have voids side of the story,but Rory payed no attention to it. Some time later,Rory has grown up into teenager years. They use their manipulating skills to get some Vex Lab workers on their side,they then try to earn the trust of V.T.95 and when they do,they take a walk right into Rory's trap,and then Rory double crosses them,as V gets captured they scream and growl desperately trying to escape,but in their struggles their hood comes off,contaminating the air around them with anthrax bacteria as a result from their hood and body alike. Rory becomes drastically weaker from the spore inhalation and V finally breaks,sobbing out everything that happened and telling them that it wasn't their fault. They finally admit that Hopeless had wanted them to take care of Rory and their sister for them,and they just wanted to return the favor after all their parent had done for them since their rough childhood. Rory,now in realization now becomes guilty and regretful for their awful actions and cannot bring themself to hurt V.T.95 anymore. They turn around and fight off the lab workers and begin to apologize and beg for V's forgiveness,even offering them to kill them for their selfish actions. V.T.95,who had just wanted their apprentice's approval,spares Rory and forgives them,much to Rory's surprise. The two are now in better terms and currently help out Kloni's daycare and train to become stronger together,alongside their new allies. Rory is always there for V.T.95 and will come to their aid if things get too dicey,they'll never cease to try to make Hopeless proud.

## Personality

Rory is a rather gruff and aloof creature. They are guarded and tense with others outside their friends and family,they were especially misled with grief when Hopeless lost their life in a tornado struck abandoned house. The actions they took against V.T.95 heavily implies that they often let their emotions get the better of them at times. They are shown to be extremely loyal to those who gain their respect and trust. They are rather hostile at times and prone to violent episodes with little control and warning. They refuse to seek help from others and are often known to try to do things themself. Peppy describes them as a ''miniature version of Major'' for his aggressive habits. They are never trusted to be alone with a child.

## Appearance

Rory is a black and white half fluffy cat-like hybrid with oddly somewhat blue-green eyes. They have white ears,paws,chest,and tail tip. They have long sharp claws and wing buds with fluffy wings slowly developing. Their eyes will often turn red when critically hurt,which invokes their rage. They have scars on their ankles.

### Hostility song/aggression curse

They have a very odd appearance alter that makes any creature around them aggressive. However they have yet to control this and often need to Have Candy,Pollenrunner,Newt,and V.T.95 help them with it. Their song seems to have no effect on overly gentle creatures,creatures who were already aggressive from the very beginning,cats,cat hybrids,kids,or their fellow species. The song however damages their vocal cords trying to practice it. Their aura however works just as effectively.
