CRAYON!!!!!
Crayon is my oc... my member of the wayward voyager so it gets its own page
This may contain more in depth info about my other ocs space au variants. THIS IS VERY. VERY INFINSIHED
VERYEVYERVYERY IN PROGRESS
PRE-WAYWARD VOYAGER!!!!!
Crayon was born on a small and isolated planet that was mostly covered by colourful rainforest-like biomes. Whilst not being too close to the edge of the universe, (where things start to REALLY unravel) it was in an odd position where the fabric of the universe was quite thin. This resulted in some of the weirdness from the beyond of the universe to leak into its home planet. NOT A LOT, just the teeniest bit, enough to make the 'blood' of the planet quite powerful. This impacted all life there, crayon's species for example (recognised for their bug-like features and glowing patterns), has very powerful blood.
Blood is incredibly important to Crayon's species actually, as on top of it being powerful, it also contains all of their memories. This is very important culturally, allowing them to share memories and such. It's also a really good fuel source. I'm sure you can imagine this isn't going anywhere Great.
More about crayon's planet... it needs a name sigh.
CRAYONLANENET stuff ive thought of get backtothis.So yeah. predictably the ESG arrives prepares to harvest the planet for resources. Before they go full scale on this, they take Crayon and some other species on the planet to conduct some tests before hand. They kidnap them.
And it!! really!! sucks!!! Crayon doesn't know what's happening or why. Their planet wasn't aware of the wider galaxy, they dont speak the language, they dont know who these people are or why they're hurting it for seemingly no reason. The researchers were cruel but they werent malicious. They were very cold and clinical and so they wouldnt really react much to anything crayon did or tried to commuicate to them, unless it was obstructing their work (their work was removing its limbs and reattaching them and extracting its blood and seeing whats its made out of. or something horrible to thsi effect. yay)
So. yeah. as it's blood contains it's memories and it's constantly losing. So. Much!! it starts to slip and forget more and more about it's planet, its culture. itself. it's losing bits of itself both physically and otherwise in a way that's so completely out of it's control. and its scary and bad and sucks. Whilst it's trapped it makes one friend, a bug like them, called circuit, who is in a cell near them. The two of them manage to keep eachother grounded somewhat, reminding eachother of things they forget.
At some point, circuit mamages to squirrel away some materials, and makes them both small light communicators, so that they could know if the other was alive if they were ever seperated.
Things get worse and worse. Others in cells nearby don't return and the two decide they need to do something before it's too late. The plan ends up going.. sideways. with crayon getting half-blown up and cast off into space, seperated from Circuit (who also managed to escape through one of the escape pods)
WAYWARD VOYAGER TIME !!!!!
A very, very injured crayon is found and rescued by the wayward voyager (something something marshell and the universe). It lost its left arm and eye in the explosion, as well as its tail. To save it, part of its skull had to be restructured with a special type of metal. So it's in!! a lot of pain!!!
It's been tampered with, without it's consent, without even knowing. It doesn't know how much blood it lost, doesn't know how much it forgot. Once again its trapped in a strange environment, with strangers it cannot understand. Only this time, there's no circuit, no others like them.
Gradually, after it warms up to the crew. It already picked up a bit of common from it's time aboard the ESG ship, but it starts to piece together more of their language. Gives them a pronounable name they can call it by (crayon sounded very scary and ferocious at the time.) as it's one language is... less easily replicated (it can't even be sure that the name they remember was their original one anyway)
When it recovers enough, and stops biting everytime someone gets too close, it convinces elysia to take it home, only to find its planet in ruins. Their home is gone. There is nothing to return to.
It stays on the voyager (because where else could it even go) and tries to convince itself that it will be temporary, that it will find circuit and everything will be okay. Circuit never responds on their little communicator. Crayon wonders if they were ever real to begin with.
MEOWOWOWW crayon.
okay write about memory (blood). and demenaour. and their whole thing with fighting. a bit on their room prehaps. circuit. maybe things its been making. oh bug. charactatsists. need to figure out if limbs are removable or not. sif and bonnie.FUN FACTS WITH CRAYON!!!!!!!!
