TAA6 - OAKLEY CROVEN BANISHMENT NEWSPAPER
Hello everyone. In the following pages, I have inserted the transcript of a newspaper article I wrote in regards to the banishment of Oakley Croven. I understand that I haven’t been able to formally introduce him to all of you, but I will be telling you about what he did for the Rebellion in the following weeks.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
CROW-MERGE ATTACKS GENI-CORP PRESIDENT
By: Simone Petit, Rebellion Gazette lead author
Layla Croven, a girl who has been missing for just over 5 years recently has had rumors surfacing about her whereabouts. Her brother, Oakley Croven, was banished today for attacking Geni-Corp President, Fovian Daraquartes, to find answers.
This morning, May 2, 2272, Oakley Croven was woken up by a broad-shouldered stranger knocking at his door. The man gave him a photograph of his long-missing younger sister, Layla, alive but without her former rook-merge. Oakley was in disbelief and upon following the stranger back to a Geni-Corp facility, he found Fovian Daraquartes and begged for answers. Of course, this got out of hand as Oakley’s desperate state led him to violently assault Fovian. Or so the Geni-Corp president claims.
Oakley is well known for his protective nature, as he plays a fatherly role for abandoned children in the slums in the western part of Central Windtmüre. Of course, his protective nature extends to his sisters, Eira and Layla as well. As I mentioned previously, Layla was abducted and no one has heard anything from her in the past 5 years, so of course, this was going to spark something in Oakley.
I was able to talk to Eira about what happened to Oakley and like any sibling would be she was devastated when she saw her brother pass through the gates into the Banishment Lands. I asked her if she thinks her brother would be okay despite the odds: ⏵ “I have faith that he’ll find a way to survive, but no one really knows what’s out there.”
She’s right, no one knows what’s outside of the walls and force fields that surround the majority of the island. There have been hundreds of banishments in Windtmüre’s two hundred year history. For all we know the outside world could be safer for the deviated minds of the Rebellion than here within the borders of the city, but this is unlikely, as the radiation is higher outside of the force fields, so it is probable that there are beasts beyond our knowledge out there.
Another question I had for Eira was about the children her brother watched over. More specifically what would happen to them: ⏵ “I’m going to try to keep an eye on them, but they’re skittish and I haven’t been around them very much. I just hope that I’m able to keep them safe.”
In relation to this, there is a law in Windtmüre that allows Geni-Corp to take children not born in hospitals for the safety of the children so they do not merge as babies outside of a controlled area like a hospital. This is important as Eira later expressed worry that Fovian would take Oakley’s kids in now that they are without a guardian, legal or not.
One of my last questions for Eira was in regards to her missing sister, whom Oakley was searching for when he was banished. I asked Eira if she thought that Layla was alive at all. ⏵ “I don’t know, I hope she is, but I’d rather have a dead sister than have a sister who has been put through torture by the hands of a monster like Fovian Daraquartes. I’m just glad that it seems Oakley won’t suffer the same fate.”
I also asked Eira if the Rebellion planned to do anything in retaliation to the banishment as it was something that was directly triggered by a Geni-Corp member. ⏵ “We can do nothing,” She started “All we can do is pray.”
All members of the Rebellion must keep Oakley and Eira in our thoughts. This can’t be easy for either of them.
I managed to get an interview with the Geni-Corp president himself, Fovian Daraquartes though I worry that he has motivations other than goodwill in doing this interview.
I asked him if he was attempting to undermine the Rebellion by bothering and banishing prominent members, as he has banished members in the past upon them getting caught being double agents (namely Aris and Newt Dottsman who were banished a few years ago). ⏵ “Simone, that sounds like an accusation Peter would make. Oakley attempted to attack me. My bodyguard, Sandor Kovacs was hardly able to get him away in time. You should see the bruises he has. Oakley wasn’t banished for being a part of your minuscule group, he was banished because he got violent.”
Fovian’s answer drug an unplanned question from me in regards to who gave Oakley the note. I asked Fovian why Oakley pointed his
blame to Kovacs when he was asked to tell his story in regards to why he attacked. ⏵ “I don’t know, all I can tell you is that I wasn’t the one who ordered that note and photograph to be sent to Oakley.”
I asked him what Kovac’s answer to that question would be. ⏵ “There’s no need to do that, Kovacs isn’t as quick in the mind as you or I, he probably wouldn’t be able to answer.”
I felt my blood boil at that answer. Even if Kovacs isn’t all there, that answer was hardly fair. And as I began to speak again, Fovian stopped me and asked if I had any more important questions to ask or if he could get back to his research.
I told him that there was something else I wanted to ask about and questioned the whereabouts of Layla Croven. ⏵ “If you recall, she was abducted, Simone, if I had her in my care, she would have come to her own accord, as all of my patients do.”
In response to this answer, I asked a question about an accusation Peter made just a few weeks ago. I asked Fovian who 233-LYCR really was. ⏵ “233-LYCR is nothing but a made-up code from Peter as he plays pretend with all of you deviants. 233-LYCR doesn’t exist, Simone. You may ask any of my best scientists if she exists, but I assure you that you’ll only be disappointed when your mystery search comes up dry. Now is that all? I have actual work to do that’s more substantial than your fake newspaper.”
I stopped there, stunned by his response. I felt anger bubble up in my systems, and as Fovian turned to leave with a smug smirk on his face, I blurted, “Peter was right about you, he always has been! Peter was right about Kovacs being your hunter and he’s right about a woman named 233-LYCR, I’m sure of it.”
Fovian only paused his walk away from me for a moment, but he did turn his head to face me in part. ⏵ “Prove it then, Miss Petit. If you can prove it, I’ll show myself out of the very gates our ancestors built two hundred years ago.” I could see the corners of his lips curl up in a freakishly broad grin, twisted by his years of freedom and control, by his ego and his arrogance. Fovian is the one who should be banished, and one of these days, he’ll slip up, I just know it.
I let Fovian go now, feeling that the interview, while it gave me more answers, also caused more trouble for us rebellion members.
Now Windtmüre, please do your best to stay safe, both tonight and in the future. Things seem to be heating up between the Rebellion and Geni-Corp and I will be here, waiting to see what will happen.

Astor O’Ryan Character Sheet
BASICS
NAME: Astor Themis O’Ryan
AGE: 2,879
D.O.B.: October 30 (year unknown)
GENDER: Genderfluid by biology, uses he/him typically
SEXUALITY: Homosexual, homoromomantic

Everything else is under the cut, warning: it’s long
APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 5’11” (usually)
WEIGHT: 167.3 lbs
APPEARANCE:
Hair: Astor, in his usual form, has pale blond hair that he usually keeps neatly tucked under a top hat. He’s able to shape shift so this form is easy to shange. Astor rarely lets his hair get messy, nor does he let it get very long when he’s keeping a consistent form.
Face: Astor has a triangular face shape and strong cheekbones. His skin is pale with a vague purplish tint to it. He wears an eyepatch over his right eye that covers a nasty burn that pokes out from under the eyepatch in thin purplish tendrils. Astor has red eyes that he can’t change the color of even when changing forms. The alien keeps his eyebrows at an average thickness and they’re a similar color to his hair.
Body: Astor keeps a form that doesn’t stick out. As he’s just under 6 feet tall, he blends in with humans until you get too close, then you can see his offness. Astor has a slim rectangular frame and doesn’t look all that strong.
His Alien form, as it is naturally, is a very tall and slim figure with long arms like a gorilla. He has a long face too with an angled mouth that’s somewhere between the jaw of a horse and the jaw of a human. Astor has two horns, as does the rest of his family. He has purple skin that’s very squishy and like the rest of his species, he walks on two long tentacle-like arms that can extend and reform at will.
NATIONALITY: Extraterrestrial
ABILITIES/MUTATION(S): Astor doesn’t have a merge, instead he’s an alien, specifically a Vragoran alien. They’re the children of the night and can shapeshift as long as they’re not in UV light (it burns them). Vragoran DNA can be found in all transformative merges, but the sunlight weakness doesn’t affect them if they’re earthborn. Vragorans also have reproductive heat and can sense other members of their species (or just transformative merges).
Note: Same image sorry, too lazy to get more

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Astor tries to be as polite as possible and has a sort of charm to him. The alien isn’t without his mischievous nature though and often plays small tricks. Astor isn’t all that great at expressing emotion though and has a hard time getting important feelings out. Sometimes he lashes out if he’s too bottled up.
SKILLS/TALENTS: He’s a pretty smooth talker as long as he’s not emotionally attached to the subject at hand, Astor can also reshape his hands and often uses this skill to create tools. Astor is also a trained soldier in Vragoran style combat and uses this for defence.
NOT GOOD AT: Expressing his feelings, sports (really just doesn’t see the point)
HABITS: The color of his skin shifts slightly when he’s nervous and he fidgets with his fingers too.
INTERESTS: Astor is interested in human life but has been studying it for so long that he doesn’t have much to learn anymore, the alien also has an interest in manufacturing and old trinquets.
LIKES: Astor loves to read and learn, he keeps many books and articles of the past with him. He also loves to socialize and is near constantly with other people when he’s not at home. He also likes astrology
DISLIKES: Astor doesn’t like being outside in the daylight and prefers being in darkness like a bat. He’s also not fond of people who are quick to form opinions or act irrationally
LIFESTYLE
OCCUPATION: None
DREAM JOB: None
LANGUAGES: English, Russian, Vragoran-speak (doesn’t have a proper name bc it’s not an earthly language), and probably others tbh, he’s been living for so long at this point it wouldn’t shock me.
CURRENTLY LIVING IN: Central Windtmüre, Windtmüre
HOBBIES: Social gatherings, trying various human foods, traveling (which he can’t do much anymore due to being stuck on Windtmüre)
CLOTHING
CLOTHING STYLES:
Lazing about: Astor usually lazes around at home, and he does it in his jammies. They’re usually made of rich materials like silk and such. If he really wants to calm down, he will shift into his normal form and not wear any clothes.
Everyday wear: When Astor is out and about, he wears suits or expensive sweaters, usually in red, purple, grey, or black. He also usually wears hats or hoods if he’s out because of his sensitivity to sunlight. Umbrellas are another option.
Hot weather: Don’t expect to see Astor much in sunlight or hot days, he’d turn to stone if he were to be out in the heat for too long.
Cold weather: He’ll get bundled up when it’s cold, but other than that he’s still a very fancy lad.
HISTORY
PAST: Astor was the last to be born in his family. When he was young his family broke off into a familial ship from the Vragoran Fleet in order to scout for livable planets. The O’Ryans trained the four youngest in the group (Astor, Nebula, Jupitorus, and Nova) in Vragoran style combat (it utilizes transmogrification as Vragorans are shape-shifters). The four children often went out with their parents and gained a lot of experience in survival and using different strategies to survive.It wasn’t until their ship started to severely malfunction that they stopped on Earth a few years before WWI began (they landed in 1907). They were stranded in the siberian wilderness without means of contacting their fleet for help. So, they made due. They wandered in the cover of night after they figured out how dangerous the sunlight was. They abandoned their ship and found a town, though blending in was a struggle as it took the group a while to master the human appearance, but when they did they were separated. Astor’s uncle, Solaris, was drafted into the war, whereas Astor’s father, Neptane, was able to change into the form of an older man before he was drafted.
Anyway, for the next couple hundred years the O’Ryans rose in power across the globe and eventually became very wealthy. Astor had an accident where he burnt his eye and can no longer change it, and has been wearing his eyepatch in order to cover the purple burn since. The O’Ryans started to fall apart shortly before the third World War (the one that sparked from the United State’s editing serum). Astor left for Windtmüre (formerly Iceland) in order to support the scientific research groups there; Jupitorus went to Long Island (which was benign converted into a Safe Haven Island); Nebula, Neptane, and Vaneus remained in the United States (so far as Astor knows they remained in the Southern part of Alaska); and finally, Nova and her mother Talitha left after Astor so he doesn’t know where they went. Astor hasn’t contacted his family since the Islands closed off.
FAMILY INFO: Astor is part of a family of eight with his siblings (Jupitorus and Nebula), his parents (Neptane and Vaneus), his cousin (Nova), and his aunt and uncle (Talitha and Solaris). Astor was the youngest of the bunch and was the favorite of his mother which sparked jealousy in his Jupitorus (who is the middle child). The two boys had a rivalry while Nebula and Nova just sorta hung out. Astor got along with everyone other than his brother on the ship, which at times was a wonderful thing because they actually put forth effort in their sparring when it was with each other, though it was useful for them to spar with the others due to naturally different fighting styles. Their break from Vragoran Fleet contact made for some tensions to rise in the family due to the break of Vragoran mating traditions. Everyone got stressed out and split up for their own good even if there were other reasons for the arguing.

TAA5 - REBELLION NEWS FEED
Broadcast date: April 22, 2272
Archivist Notes: I mentioned a newscast playing while Vincent and Aydan were in the cafe. This newscast was centered around new footage of Peter Hoode (a well-known rebellion leader) exposing some of Geni-Corp’s new experiments.
A moment of static cues a man with the red feathers of a northern cardinal atop his head in an alert, pointed mohawk as he speaks, “Citizen’s of Windtmüre, as many of you know I am Peter Hoode, the leader of the Windtmürian Rebellion and I come to you with news of new horrors that Fovian Daraquartes and the rest of Geni-Corp have created using sentient life.” Peter’s hands grip the edges of the podium that he stands at and he spreads his wings wide, like an angel, though rather than white, his wings are a vibrant red. “We have uncovered information about two new experiments and I bring you an update on a third,” His hand raises in a show of three fingers and his wings settle against his back. It’s evident that he’s putting a lot of his weight against the podium rather than on his own feet. Peter grits his teeth as he continues to speak, “One of them is a child. No, she isn’t human, she’s a Vragoran child, pureblood too.” The cardinal’s face scrunches up in disgust as he continues, “Every few weeks her blood is stolen away from her in order to create tortured transformative merges like my good friend Aydan Perryne, whom Fovian is still searching for due to his rare mutations. The Vragoran girl lives in a cage and is hardly kept alive. She’s used only for her blood and has never left the institution. The next experiment has been an ongoing attempt to crack the notes left by the esteemed doctor, Clay Claythorne in his time with Geni-Corp. Reportedly multiple people with both living and non-living merges have become experiments in unmerging, most of which have resulted in the death of the patient. One of the only successes has been a formerly pregnant woman given the identification code: 233-LYCR. Unfortunately, we were unable to figure out her name…”
Peter pauses and looks down at the podium shifting on his feet before he looks straight into the camera once more with what seems to be a more intense look. He frowns as he resumes his speech, “But, I’m sure hardly any of you care about any of that because who would believe a radical when none of this could possibly affect you, right?” Peter gives a large shrug and a breathy, cynical chuckle. “Well, Windtmüre, I’d tune my ears in now if I were you because you might see a new face around the streets of Windtmüre very, very soon. They call him The Hunter. He’s superhuman and is set to be on the hunt for new treasures for Fovian. But why is he a threat? Well, for starters he’s bent to Fovian’s will like a dog trained for a K-9 unit. That and he’s set out to get information by any means necessary. I’ll let you think about that.”
Peter Hoode glances towards his assistant from his podium, she is a raven merge named Eira Croven. Then his attention turns to the camera again and at the edge of the camera’s field of vision Eira makes a hand motion, a quick dual fingered move where her hands go up and down in opposite directions. Now when Peter continues his tone is rushed and his expression is more urgent, “Windtmüre, I’m only trying to look out for you. Fovian Daraquartes only cares about himself and his sick experiments. Please, show your support for the people of this country, tell the Windtmürian government that we won’t tolerate being treated like rats in a cage any longer.” Peter again looks to his assistant before he steps away from the podium, looking mildly panicked now. “I must bid you adieu, Windtmüre, please, be safe.” As Peter turns to leave, stumbling over his own feet at the side of his assistant, the camera feed shakes and the podium falls, this fall is caused by something large coming onto the stage and the sound of splintering wood follows as does the sound of what seems to be very heavy footsteps. After that, the camera feed is cut.
The newsfeed cuts to a woman at a newsdesk, she has a holographic image of Peter’s wings-out pose to her right with the headline ‘Windtmürian Rebellion’s leader makes false accusations about Geni-Corp’ drifting at the bottom of the screen as she begins to speak. “What you just saw is the radical, Peter Hoode giving an alarming allegation about Fovian Daraquartes and his supposed ‘sentient experiments’. The radical gives no proof of these blatant accusations and doesn’t seem to have any sources of information.” She taps her notes against her table as her partner, a man, begins to speak…
“And this information can’t be trusted, especially because the radical reportedly used to live with Fovian Daraquartes like a son. They’re practically family.” The man states. “Peter Hoode’s words shouldn’t be trusted, he’s clearly not okay mentally. It’s a miracle a radical like him has even gotten as many followers as he has.”
“It is insane how many followers he has. He has people wrapped around his finger for sure.”
“He must pay them to support him like some sort of rigged game. His followers are probably fake.” The man gives a disgusted look to the camera, “Citizens of Windtmüre, do not support this radical, he’s dangerous and is certainly looking to be banished.”
“Yes, protect yourself by ignoring him, not by supporting him,” The newswoman glances onto her watch, “And now, onto the weather.”
Archivist Notes: Yes, this is a clip from the actual news station on Windtmüre, it’s still like that with people denying our actions against Fovian. I swear we’re only looking out for Windtmüre, not our own interests. Members of the Rebellion have died fighting for the freedom of the people, and they have the gall to call us liars.

Vincent Adair Character Sheet
BASICS
NAME: Vincent Giovanni Adair
AGE: 237
D.O.B.: March 2, 2033
GENDER: Male (he/him/his)
SEXUALITY: Demisexual/Panromantic

Everything else is under the cut, warning: it’s long
APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 6’0”
WEIGHT: 173.6 lbs
APPEARANCE:
Hair: Vince’s hair is a chocolatey brown and mostly straight. He keeps it slicked back and perfect in form, but perhaps that’s not his doing… Vince’s hair can be described as “ken-doll” like in appearance.
Face: Vincent has a long face that’s vaguely heart shaped, his features are practically perfect in every way, it’s almost eerie. His nose is straight and greek like in form and it seems oddly perfect. He has baby blue eyes that are the only things on him that show proper emotion. He has a perfectly made up face, at all hours of the day, really from the dummy.
Body: Being tall and thin were the only things Vincent kept about himself. But his skin is cold and wooden the further one goes away from his torso. Vince’s joints are wooden and stiff, hard to move even after 200 years of use. He’s unable to dance well anymore.
NATIONALITY: Italian
ABILITIES/MUTATION(S):Vincent fused with a wooden ventriloquist dummy that was in his possession at the time of the merge. Vincent now has skin that is cold and lifeless that’s essentially made of wood. The wood softens as it comes closer to his torso so his body still functions like a human body. He hasn’t aged since the Atrocity Event happened, but he has collected many dents and scars across his body.

PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Vincent is a relatively shy man with good manners. He doesn’t speak unless he’s spoken to unless he’s very close to the person. He can hold a conversation well enough, but he tends to be curt. His relationships are very private and he’s not big on being public with any lovers.
SKILLS/TALENTS: (former) dancing, appraising items
NOT GOOD AT: Making friends, battling his depression
HABITS: Bending his fingers to feel them move in unnatural ways, closing himself off when he’s upset
INTERESTS: Dancing, learning
LIKES: (Electric) Swing music, Jazz music, old trinquets, strong coffee, the english language, theater
DISLIKES: Rock music, metal music, crowded places
LIFESTYLE
OCCUPATION: Owns an antique shop
DREAM JOB: Swing Dancer/Broadway Dancer, or to teach again
LANGUAGES: Italian, Icelandic, English
CURRENTLY LIVING IN: Central Windtmüre, Windtmüre
HOBBIES: Collecting old items and selling them, reading, and learning new things, doing crafts that require a steady hand
CLOTHING
CLOTHING STYLES:
Lazing about: Vince typically wears older fashioned shirts and pants, even when relaxing. But sweatpants and basketball shorts never hurt anyone. Vince will wear those and shirts with various sleeve lengths depending on the weather and depending on who’s around.
Everyday wear: He's a big fan of being formal looking. Expect a lot of expensive suits and old-timey clothes from Vince when he's out and about. Suspenders and bowties? Yes please!
Hot weather: Out and about on a hot day? You won't see Vince out often. But when he does go out it's short sleeved button ups and longer shorts or capris.
Cold weather: Vincent wears a lot of vintage sweaters when it's cold out. If it's really cold, as it usually gets in Windtmüre, Vince wears long coats and turtlenecks.
HISTORY
PAST: Vincent was born and raised in Venice, Italy where he learned Italian and English from his mixed family. He lived with his mother, father, and grandmother, and was a mama's boy. When he was young, he got close with a girl named Mirabella. When the Windtmüre opened as a safe haven island Vincent’s mother sent Vince and Mirabella to Windtmüre to keep them safe. Vincent worked as an English teacher for some time, but after the Atrocity Period when Mirabella left him for another man (he also merged around this time), he quit his job at the end of the school year. He fell into depression and closed himself off, only doing his work in his shop. He seldom left. One day, Astor O’Ryan brought a newly merged Aydan Perryne to his doorstep. Vincent agreed to teach him as well as he could and the two eventually grew close enough to form a relationship. Though they fought as things went on and split.
FAMILY INFO: Vince hardly remembers them… But it was his mother who suggested he take his girl and flee to Windtmüre. Over 200 years of living means his memories from his early years are fuzzy.

Aydan Perryne Character Sheet
BASICS
NAME: Aydan Matthew Perryne
AGE: 29
D.O.B.: June 8, 2242
GENDER: Male (he/him/his)
SEXUALITY: Homosexual/Homoromantic

Everything else is under the cut, warning: it’s long
Note: This will have some spoilers for stuff late in the story itself
APPEARANCE
HEIGHT: 5’9” (differs between bodies)
WEIGHT: It’s impossible to get an accurate reading due to the multiple bodies
APPEARANCE:
Hair: 1. Tarran’s version of the body (Aydan’s usual body) has naturally curly brown hair that’s darker in color. But he straightens and styles his hair in the mornings or before he goes out.
2. Patrick’s hair is a vibrant ginger that has unruly curls in it, he doesn’t bother messing with it, he knows it’s impossible.
3. Mateo’s hair is thick and dark brown in color. He keeps it short in an undercut fashion and usually slicks it back. Mateo also has facial hair in the form of a small goatee and thin sideburns that go just past the corner of his jaw.
4. Ayo keeps his hair in micro-dreadlocks that go just past his shoulders. Despite his vitiligo he doesn’t have many white patches in his hair.
5. Damien’s blond hair is kept short, and it’s a bit spiky in shape. He sort of just messes it up in the morning and leaves it like that, he just doesn’t want it in his face.
Face: 1. Tarran’s face is slim with higher cheekbones and a straight, pointed nose. His eyes are a bright blue, cerulean blue to be exact. His eyebrows are straight and are on the thin side. Aydan also has very thick, long eyelashes that give his eyes a bit of a feminine look. Medium sized moles also dot his face.
2. Patrick has a round face, as he also has a round body. He has green eyes that are usually half lidded. Thick freckles cover more than half of his face and body too. Pat has a button-ish nose and a squat face.
3. Mateo’s face is thin and well kept facial hair wise. He has chocolatey brown eyes and dark eyebrows, one of which has a scar through it. Other than that his face is blemish free.
4. Ayo has a strong oval-ish face and stunning golden eyes. His vitiligo is most noticeable on his face where there are large blotches of pale skin, primarily on the left side of his face (with smaller blotches on the right). He has a wide nose and thicker eyebrows. Ayo is nearsighted and has glasses to correct this.
5. Damien’s face is long with semi-defined cheekbones. He has hazel eyes and oddly shaped brows that are a slightly darker blond than his hair. He keeps a semi-permanent smug expression (resting smug face?). Damien, like Ayo, is nearsighted and has both glasses and contacts to correct this.
Body: 1. Tarran is just below the average height (5’9”) and has a mostly lean build, his body also is in the shape of a trapezoid. Typically he adds a bit of muscle to himself for the sake of self defense (and because he finds that more guys like it). He’s caucasian and has slightly tanned skin. Tarran, as well as the others, have strange scars on their backs and on the crooks of their elbows, they don’t like explaining the scars, but might if you’re close enough to them.
2. Patrick is a fair bit shorter than Tarran 5’5” and has a pretty squat body that’s in the shape of an obtuse triangle (pear-ish). He’s overweight and doesn’t care enough to use body mods, because out of all of the Perryne boys, he uses the body the least (with the exclusion of Damien who can’t use the body at all). Like his face, his body has freckles everywhere, and is very pale. He also has a lot of thick body hair that’s fairly dark in color (close to the color of his hair).
3. Mateo is the shortest coming in at 4’9”. He has a thin, rectangular build. Due to him being trans he uses body mods, including testosterone, a flat chest, and masculine genitals (he has not had any gender-affirming surgeries). Mateo is light and lean, having a body that’s clean and devoid of thick hair (though he wouldn’t mind having it). His skin is a caramel-ish color due to his Spanish descent.
4. Ayo is the tallest of the bunch, being 6’0” he has an inverted triangle form and easily has the most defined muscle of the group. His vitiligo gives him a unique look and he’s very easy to find because of the condition. Ayo’s skin is close to the color of dark chocolate, which offers a contrast with his vitiligo. He’s content with his appearance and doesn’t use body mods either.
5. Damien is on the taller side of the group at 5’10”, he has a thin trapezoidal body shape and has long legs. Damien is built like a runner and if/when he’s out of the body he enjoys a good run. He seems to have lighter patches on his skin that mirror Ayo’s vitiligo but it’s hard to tell the difference between the light patches and his naturally pale skin.
NATIONALITY: Tarran: American (East coast), Patrick: Irish, Mateo: Spanish, Ayo: British, Damien: Swedish
ABILITIES/MUTATION(S): Aydan is a merged group of 5 boys, they are a transformative merge, meaning they are able to shift between bodies with some effort. They can even trade body parts or combine body parts to make different looks (though this is very difficult). Together the boys combined their names into “Aydan Matthew Perryne” and their personalities typically combine to make “Aydan” his own person (and Aydan is mostly different from Tarran), but all of the boys still exist as different “spirits”. Tarran typically keeps control, but the boys work as a team to manage living as Aydan. If the boys shift forms completely that boy takes most of the control.
Image Order: Tarran, Patrick, Mateo, Ayo, Damien





PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: Putting the boys together to create Aydan originally was like forming Voltron. It wasn’t easy letting everyone get what they wanted from life, especially when no one could agree. But, “Aydan” is a well kept, calm guy who loves to have fun and is fiercely protective of his friends. But below are the traits of the 5 boys:
1. Tarran: He’s protective and almost parental. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep his bodymates safe and keep his friends safe too. But, that’s not to say that he doesn’t love to go out and have fun. He experiments in fashion a lot and is very creative. Tarran is also very gregarious and he makes friends easily, this has led him to meet many people and make a lot of allies, even if not all of them know his story.
2. Patrick: He’s very closed off and often speaks harshly. Pat is usually the first to panic when something goes awry and is usually vocal about his worries (also speaks very bluntly). He’s protective of the boys in the body but in a different way than Tarran is.
3. Mateo: He’s rebellious and is a bit of a teenager in attitude. He’s honest and hates keeping secrets, though he knows when to keep his mouth shut (sometimes). Mateo acts all tough but is a softie and is pretty easily embarrassed.
4. Ayo: Ayo is very calm and collected. He keeps everything in line and is the voice everyone else prays to hear from in crisis. Ayo is intelligent and a fast-thinker, and he’s open-minded too. And though he can be very quiet, his input is important in decision making in the body.
5. Damien: Damien is a bit like Ayo in the sense of fast-thinking, he’s a bit more close-minded than his merge counterpart. It takes him longer to open up to ideas and he’s more stubborn and quick to act, whereas Ayo usually takes time to process everything if he can. Damien also appreciates food and a good run to relieve stress.
SKILLS/TALENTS: Presenting himself, arousing people, remembering conversations
NOT GOOD AT: Telling people no, self control, dressing appropriately when young people are around, keeping his conversations between his forms inside
HABITS: Using his occupation to escape, drinking to forget
INTERESTS: All gender fashion, various forms of dance, history (varies on the boy)
LIKES: Fruity drinks, boys, having fun, going on adventures, freedom (differs)
DISLIKES: Not having control over the situations he’s in, Geni-Corp (slight difference)
LIFESTYLE
OCCUPATION: Prostitute
DREAM JOB: Fashion Designer (dream job varies between the bodies)
LANGUAGES: English, Spanish, Swedish
CURRENTLY LIVING IN: Central Windtmüre, Windtmüre
HOBBIES: Having good times, reading, running, etc (depends on the boy)
CLOTHING
CLOTHING STYLES: Note: Not going to bother explaining all outfits. Tarran is preppy and shifts between feminine and masculine in looks, Patrick likes to be comfy, Mateo almost never takes off a leather jacket and is very simple in fashion, Ayo is more of a modern/hipster type, and Damien likes athletic wear.
Lazing about: When lazing about, Aydan typically wears shorts or sweatpants and casual, non form fitting shirts or various colors. He loses his fashion sense when he’s not going out. He’ll occasionally wear dresses when alone, but he doesn’t have many casual ones.
Everyday wear: Aydan has a lot of different styles. He’ll wear preppy clothing of various colors when going to more formal events, and will bounce between college student looks to formal wear. Aydan often wears dresses and feminine wear, though his pronouns don’t change. When partying or getting ready to do his job he wears sluttier clothing, booty shorts, revealing clothes, the whole bit.
Hot weather: Revealing clothing? Yes. Shorts? Yes. Tank tops? Yes. Aydan wears just about anything that screams summer when it’s hot.
Cold weather: He’s got a few different winter coats and often pairs them with outfits that match.
HISTORY
PAST: Aydan was born and raised in an orphanage in the Southern part of the Fishing District (near the mountains) with the name “Tarran Eerry”. Due to his location and lower immune system, he merged with a group of boys, with him being the host. They all basically share a body and can switch between who controls the body, but because Aydan was the host, he typically keeps control. When he turned 18, without a highschool diploma and no money to his name Aydan started selling himself out for jobs, both actual work and sexual work. He made a name for himself that connected his friends from the orphanage, that name being Aydan Matthew Perryne. He travels all around Central Widnture for work, but he loves to travel. He’s good friends with the workers of Cafe Atrocity mostly because that side of town is the busiest. (This is not entirely true, this is just the story that Aydan tells people)
FAMILY INFO: The boys that make up Aydan don’t remember their families...

Update #1
I need to go back through and update my rules and such, everything is subject to change
This universe is incredibly vast with more than 60 characters throughout Windtmüre alone. With that said it’ll take me a long while before I’m able to fully release character information because of how long my template is
Please stay tuned for more details, now that I’ve picked up a bit of traction on this blog I don’t intend on dragging my feet when it comes to cranking out finished character sheets
-ricky
#update#ricky speaks#update 1#The Atrocity Archives#taa#character update#guuh now i have to edit the sheets for tumblr too#itll be worth it though
