Entering for this cool fella B) Muahahaha The very basics: Name: Peri, Peridotite, Zul-Qar-19 (formerly) Pronouns: He/him primarily, though fine with any Age: 1805 years, appears around 12 as a human Personality: Chaotic, goofy, troublemaker, lighthearted, rebellious, playful, neophilic, irreverent, volatile Species: Mutated star-born Anyways concept/backstory yapping: He fits into a space-based story im currently working on, so im basing most of this off of that (also note im currently typing on my phone so I apologize for typos ^^). Zul-Qar-19, or ZQ19 for short, first began as a dying star. On a planet called Vexis Alpha, an advanced alien civilization was trying to figure out how to take dying stars and harness their energy by extracting their “core” to save the dying “being” (as they believed stars had creatures of sorts at their centers) and take the access energy surrounding said being. ZQ19, a smaller star (out of 83) in the Zul-Qar System was the first success they had, and they took the access energy from the star and was left with this small, purple cat they nursed back to life. But there was something wrong… while stars were rumored to have their own personalities, mannerisms, habits, etc., ZQ19 seemed like a blank slate. Devoid of any sort of sense of self. In fact, it appeared ZQ19 didn’t even know he was alive at all. But then, an unfortunate (or fortunate in this case) accident happened. One of the working scientists on Vexis Alpha had left ZQ19’s enclosure open and the kitten stumbled out, and with his lack of common sense, accidentally tripped and fell into a vat of highly radioactive chemical goo. For any other creature, this would have been devastating, but ZQ19 was no normal creature… he was the soul of a star after all! He flew from the vat, animated into the silly cat he is today. It seemed that the radioactive goo had triggered something within him to break his lifeless trance! But wait, that’s not the end of his story! He quickly found that life at the lab of Vexis Alpha was incredibly boooring. Too many rules and strict aliens in fancy coats. He wanted more! He wanted adventure. And so he escaped, quite easily in fact. And for years after years after years, he searched and searched the universe, coming upon millions of stars and planets before finding a particularly interesting group indeed. The group, aka the main characters of my space story, were also on a grand adventure. The human, Tyler, had stolen a rocket ship from Earth and was eager to prove the existence of aliens and learn all about outer space. Along with his trusty pet cat Juno, he “collected” a large variety of misfit aliens all with their own unique desires for escape or exploration. And that’s where they met ZQ19. Unable to talk at this time, Tyler, an enthusiastic rock nerd, named him Peridotite, or Peri for short, due to the vibrant green goo on his pelt. It is also rumored that Star-borns have the ability to transform into an alternate shape of their wish, yet they can only do one. Peri, at one point, magically became a human boy, startling the entire crew, as human Tyler was the first individual Peri found interesting enough. And now, Peri (in both cat and human form) joins Tyler and the rest of the group as they venture throughout space, facing all sorts of dangers, complications, and thrills along the way! >:] Wanna add some more bits later but uhhhh that’s a WIP
