A character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is forced to live, to put one foot in front of the other and find healing, who chooses to pour goodness into the world and make the world a better place

Is more satisfying to me than a character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is redeemed through death

99.9% of the time.

Seahorse Kraken (worldbuilding)

Seahorse kraken, commonly referred to as ‘Seahorse fathers’, are male kraken born with an organic pouch on their lower underbelly, used for carrying and protecting their young. The skin on both the inside and outside of the pouch is very tough and flexible, with thick blubber in between the two layers of skin, offering cushioning and protection against external threats and internal injuries (usually caused by broken eggshells or the sharp beak of a distressed hatchling). The pouch can comfortably fit up to seven eggs and has a specialized opening that remains sealed when empty, but when occupied allows for fresh water to flow in, sustaining four to five hatchlings (there are also two bow shaped pieces of cartilage and muscles at the mouth of the pouch, allowing the Seahorse kraken to manually seal it when occupied, and open it when unoccupied). Due to the presence of the pouch, Seahorse kraken do not have rear tendrils (two pairs of long, thin appendages with a bioluminescent bulb on the end, located on both the lower jaw and abdomen, used for sensing surroundings). The Seahorses’ lower sail does accommodate for the pouch, instead of one lower sail they have two, one in front of the mouth of the pouch, and one behind it on the pouch itself (this effect makes it appear as if their lower sail has been cut in half and is more apparent on some kraken than others). Unfortunately, Seahorse kraken are quite uncommon, as they were once highly respected but fell from grace in a time of desperation and fear, causing them to be hunted and massacred, as they were believed to steal eggs and young kraken from their nests. Though they are no longer hunted and killed, they are usually scorned or regarded with general disdain.

Kraken Eggs (worldbuilding):

Kraken eggs are translucent, perfectly round, and are usually a rich crimson color (unless they are royal eggs, then they are the primary color of the developing kraken inside). They consist of three layers, a soft inner shell and a rubbery hard outer shell surrounded by a thin protective casing. These layers give the egg a foggy and glassy appearance, as well as efficiently absorbing shock and making them difficult to break from the outside. After fertilization, the eggs take three months to develop inside the mother, and once she lays them, it takes a full year until the eggs are ready to hatch. In the final weeks of that year, the thin casing around the egg hardens (becoming brittle and allowing an easy exit for the hatchling), and the kraken inside begins to shift and turn, preparing to hatch.
