[solusprime987]

I was supposed to do this weeks ago so i apologise for the delay but i finally got a chance to write the post about Medix and how his autism is portrayed in Rescue bots academy, I apologise If this post doesn't make much sense or if the grammer is poor since I'm very tired but I wanted to rant about this adorable lil medic so much that sleep came second lol

In season 1 episode 30 when wedge rejects wess's offer to help him and makes him sad Medix literally pulls out a datapad with different emotions and presumably descriptions of said emotions, I loved this moment! Not only did it subvert the trope of the autistic coded character saying something insensitive for "humour" but it also showed something I've never seen in a show before, an autistic character using something to help them in a situation they don't know how to deal with, most shows I've seen have either had the character say something insensitive, say something rude or just not care when someone around them is upset

Obviously this isn't accurate to autistic people at all, we might not realise at first that someone is upset around us due to not understanding social cues but when we do realise we want so badly to help and make the person feel better but we just don't know how particularly if we don't know that person, So to see Medix, a character who's been shown to not understand emotions or social cues, use something to help him work around this instead of the show depicting him as rude, unfeeling or faulty made me feel incredibly happy and represented seeing as I'm also an autistic person who uses a variety of items to help me function in this world ( I also really wish that I had an ipad that told me how someone was feeling lol)

As well as this, the show also does a brilliant job of showing how the despite the other students not understanding Medix they are willing to learn and apologise when they realise they've upset him as seen in season 1 episode 35 Life of the party when they refer to him as a "stick in the mud" and in the season 1 episode "Suprise, Medix!" Where they assume his dislike of surprises can be changed by throwing him a suprise however by the end of the episode the other recruits realise their mistake and apologise, compared to other shows where the other characters borderline hate the autistic character just for existing this is a breathe of fresh air and wonderful to see.

As well as everything I mentioned previously I also want to gush about Medix and his love of animals, this aspect of his character is especially relatable for me and I'm sure many other autistics as well, This being that Medix understands and bonds with animals much easier then he does other bots or people, I love seeing an autistic character be depicted as loving and caring towards animals because that's often how it is in real life obviously i don't speak for all autistic people but for me personally I've always been able to connect with and understand animals better then people so I adore this part of Medix's character plus every interaction he has with animals is adorable to watch

In other words I love and relate a lot to Medix and I think he's one of the best autistic characters that I've ever had the joy of watching and he truly deserves more appreciation and love in this fandom along with Chase who is the next character I'll be doing a post on and it'll probably be much longer then this post because as much as I love Rescue bots academy it doesn't hold a candle to Rescue bots which I absolutely adore more then any Transformers media with the exception of MTMTE

18!!

Boulder taps the tips of their digits together. "I have a question."

"What do you need?" Blades asks. He's putting up a garland around the perimeter of the basement, something he's been working on for days now. There are tiny little hand made models of their alt modes, trees, rocks, and other oddities that Boulder can't identify, made out of yarn big enough to hand knit with.

They're cute, and quite nice. Really bring a homey air to the place. "I need a bit of code altered."

Blades' helm whips around so fast he nearly falls over. He searches Boulder's face, but apparently doesn't find what he's looking for, because his face sets in a panicked frown and his rotors start flicking erratically. "You can't be serious."

"I'm serious," Boulder says, clasping their hands behind their back. "You're our medic, so I assumed-"

"Boulder, I am a field medic at most," Blades stresses, and some of his loose garland starts to flutter from the breeze created by his rotors. "I have no credentials. Hell, the only reason I know as much as I do is because Heatwave gets hurt so often it's all trial and error! They would never let me into the Academy, you know, they'd probably ban me from ever practicing-"

"Blades," Boulder says gently, but Blades' talking only gets more frantic.

"But code? Boulder, I can barely understand my own code, you really want me poking around in your helm? What if I mess something up? I could completely fuck up your coding, and I couldn't live with myself if I did that, living with unfulfilled protocols is horrible I can't imagine living with something broken-"

"BLADES!" Boulder shouts, and the helicopter shuts up, but his rotors are still flapping.

"Sorry," he murmurs. "I just don't think it's a good idea."

"It's something I can do myself," Boulder starts carefully, holding their hands out placatingly. "I just need a spotter."

The flapping dies down a little. "A spotter?"

"Yes, a spotter." Boulder clasps their hands again, this time against their chest. "Just in case."

"Just in case," Blades parrots, hugging his arms around himself. "What exactly do you need done?"

Boulder chews on their lip. "I just..." they trail off, trying to figure out how to phrase this. The pressure of the air has been changing all day, the sky getting darker, little beads of condensation appearing on their frame- the telltale signs of an oncoming storm. Someone like Blades would be able to better detect the changes in the atmosphere with his sensitive rotors, but Boulder doesn't have anything like that. And well... "I want to quiet a fear response."

Blades' face changes immediately. "Oh, Boulder," he says. "You can't just shove that down, you have to-"

"That's not what I meant," Boulder gently interrupts. "It's a fear response that's useless to me now. And it's going to storm."

"Oh." Blades' field reaches out in understanding, and Boulder brushes it with reassurance from their own. "You're scared of thunder."

"Not thunder. I want to experience it."

"The noise."

"Yeah."

Blades sighs. "Alright. I'll spot."

They find themselves on the floor, sitting with their legs crossed, across from each other. Their wrist ports are open and Blades has unspooled the cable from next to his, handing it to Boulder to let them plug in.

They do without much fanfare, initiating handshake protocols, and then Boulder guides Blades to the corner of their processor where all their instincts from their past as a miner lay dormant.

Well. Dormant-ish.

Where is it? Blades' voice is nice, inside of Boulder's processor. Warm and buttery smooth, but still somehow with a nervous lilt. It's kind of cool, the way it bounces around.

Here. Boulder pulls up the protocol and with it a memory- a huge bang that rattles the cavern and sends dust and pebbles showering down over Boulder and their coworkers. They dive for their positions, curling into balls, preparing for the worst. The fear is bone deep. Blades' very presence shivers with it. I want to be outside.

I know.

Blades' presence seems to hold them steady as Boulder dips their hands into the code. It shifts like water beneath their digits, slippery as they grasp for the strands that connect to their emotional core. They pinch and tie the line with a few more lines- simple things they'd been practicing doing, just extra stimuli needed to activate the protocol itself, like falling rubble, and suppressing it when rain registered as sensory input.

Boulder sighs as they finish up, letting it slip back out of their hands. Blades' relief is palpable, and it washes comfortingly over Boulder, then nestles in their spark even as they disconnect from each other.

"That wasn't so bad," Blades hums, mostly a reassurance to himself.

"Not at all," Boulder agrees.

-----------------------

That night, Boulder faces the rain.

I’ll just… attach a Shin Godzilla’s tail, Jaune…

JAUNE-ZILLA

"How is he?"

Ren shook his head at Ruby. For the past few weeks, ever since a mysterious stranger snuck upon and attached a strange appendage to Jaune, the paladin leader of Team JNPR had become noticeably more and more ill as of late. The doctors in the infirmary had difficulty determining what was happening to him, originally citing it as some type of unknown infection.

Since then, Jaune had been quarantined within his own room in the medical wing of Beacon Academy. What started as a fever and chills quickly developed into vomiting blood and developing painful lesions across his skin. Not only this, but his body had begun to change as well, developing a form of gigantism matching his adult teeth falling out and being replaced by larger, sharper teeth. What little words he could speak had fallen into mumbles and groans.

The lesions in his skin, which had gone from pale to gray, began to scab over, as if he were suddenly growing scales over his body. This brought confusion as experts all over Remnant were brought in to study this new illness. When one student was asked to look his mind, using his semblance, the student remarked that the only response he could find that remained of Jaune Arc was one word. "Pain."

"Is... Is he going to die?" Ruby asked.

"They're not sure." Pyrrha answered, putting on a brave face for her team. Nora leaned into Ren, not bearing to look at their sister team as their new leader explained. "They say his vital signs are maintaining stability, but..." She swallowed. "They're also saying they don't see any way for Jaune to recover from this."

"He looks pretty bad." Yang commented. "Do you..." She clenched her teeth, hesitating to speak her thoughts.

"Go on." Pyrrha urged.

"Do you... know if anyone is talking about... 'helping' him?" The way Yang put emphasis on the word did little to ease tension. "Y'know?" Concerned her point didn't come across enough, she made a motion similar to putting one's head to pillows.

"I..." Pyrrha sighed. "I wish I could say no." She looked to the doors where their leader had been taken almost a month before. "The doctors are saying that what Jaune has isn't contagious, but... They're also saying that Jaune is in so much pain, anything else would be considered cruel."

"What if-" Sirens blared in the infirmary.

"CODE VIOLET." A voice on the PA system called. "VIOLENT PATIENT IN QUARANTINE."

"JAUNE!" Pyrrha turned to the doors, only to be stopped by Professor Goodwitch. "Professor! Let me!"

"Stay back, students!" The deputy headmistress barked. "Mr. Arc is being subdued and your presence will not-"

"CODE YELLOW." The PA called. "PATIENT HAS ESCAPED QUARANTINE."

"GET DOWN!" A voice called, causing Professor Goodwitch to use her semblance to push the students out of the way. Unfortunately, she was too slow to move herself and was shoved into the wall by a running mass of gray that barreled through the doors. She tried to hold him, but he was too far away and too heavy for her to grasp.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha called, giving chase with Team JNPR. Ruby looked to Professor Goodwitch, who was being helped by the infirmary staff, then looked to her team who nodded. Jaune was in pain, and they were going to help their friend.

Hello. My name is Ray Clayton, and my ten year old niece convinced me to try blogging for the benefit of trainers out there.

My experience encompasses pokemon care, battle tactics, training regimens and trainer coaching. Ran the Kanto League back in the day, took part in a few others. Decided the whole champion schtick ain’t for me, but the League life is.

I’ve worked with gym leaders, aspiring trainers, professors and even Elite Four members.

I am NOT qualified to offer input on medical matters beyond the dos and don’ts of training safely. I am not qualified to diagnose or assess injuries on any form of remote platform. See a veterinarian or other qualified professional for that.

My niece says yall can send me questions directly on here. I’ll answer all of ‘em I can.

I’m Mara, one of the ranch hands. Me ‘n my sister Maya help keep things runnin’. Takes a lotta grit and even more muscle to handle this kinda work! My partner is Alexander, a Nidoking. He’s the twin brother of my sister’s partner.

My name is Maya. I’m just about the one elegant thing about this dusty old backwater! Me and my Nidoqueen, Rose, do what we can to class up the place, but there’s only so much that can be done…

Already this blog has been the subject of a bit of toxicity. All I’m gonna say to you Negative Nancys is that I ain’t gonna give ya the time of day, and be sure to read and comprehend somethin’ before you mouth off about it. Odds are you’re criticizing an answer to a question you only imagined was being asked, when the answer was to the question that was actually asked.

Since folks want my Pokemon written here, here ya go:

Pyrite - Rhyperior, first partner. Protective.

Piezo - Magnezone, First wild-caught partner, retired from battling to pursue crisis response for fulfillment reasons.

Bruce - Emboar, adopted from being a pet. Loves battle for sport, hates violence otherwise.

Old Spooky - Dusclops, followed me home from Hoenn, older’n my grandpa, retired from battling

Wright - Yanmega, retired from battling due to injury

Gala - A shiny Hydrapple, was in a crate of apples and adopted. Currently undergoing battle training.

Nimbus - Dratini adopted in Paldea. Wants to learn Thunder.

Beethoven - Poliwag from a Kitakami river, gets along with everyone.

Slowking - Galarian variety. Helped get me on my feet shortly after catchin’. Name pending.

Aria - A Lapras wounded in Blueberry Academy’s Terarium, adopted at Director’s reccomendation. Really likes roasted Aspear berries.

Girafarig - Hatched from an egg Pyrite picked up somewhere in Paldea and guarded fiercely. Curious and energetic, name pending.

“Loyal” Three Trio - Undecided how to handle them. Caught them just to get them outta the locals’ hair. All three got attitude problems.

The ranch is also home to several Rhyhorn herds, a herd of Galarian Ponyta up north, and a gaggle of other wild Pokemon I ain’t gotten around to getting outta here yet.

//ooc time. So, this is a roleplay blog, in case you hadn’t guessed, regarding the goings-on on a fictional Rhyhorn ranch in the mountains between Galar and the Crown Tundra. A cold, dusty place, but it’s his, and that’s enough to be happy with it. Ray coaches Pokemon Trainers, particularly from the Galar League’s gyms, but anyone who comes recommended by an officially recognized League Association is welcomed. Maya and Mara are the twin ranch hands that help keep things running. As stated above, their text will be color coded. The short version of the point of setting things up this way is to be able to offer, in character, my own pointlessly varied pool of knowledge about things ranging from muscular biology to chemistry to best workout and training practices to animal behavior and, of course, around two decades now of playing Pokemon competitively. (in a casual fashion, anyway, my interest has always been exploring outside the meta to see what works that people aren’t doing yet.) In general, if it’s Ray speaking, it’s in the interest of helping anyone who wants it. Be that with worldbuilding, worldly wisdom, or fleshing out hypothetical Pokemon behaviors/medical practices. In short, I try to help fill any gaps to enrich the roleplay experience of others. If that isn’t welcome, politely decline either in or out of character. Both me and Ray will respect it and back away. I’m not looking to impose, after all. People who’ve followed the blog for a while may have seen some longer term RP collabs with others. Feel free to send DMs if your character needs a battle coach for some reason, even just as a passing thing. What I don’t have a taste for is stressful, needless drama. As in, I’d really rather not be drawn into petty or high-minded arguments or embroiled in some scandal by association or something.

[writerswhy]

do you think hinamori can forgive aizen? he manipulated and used her from the beginning. i dont see why she has to forgive.

Disclaimer: none of this is meant to be apologia, nor am I trying to speak for others. I work in medical, adjacent to law enforcement/legal, and have personally experienced intimate violence. Just trying to let you guys know where I’m coming from. Thank you <3

Also, this is technically part 2 to anon’s question. I feel like I did a better job at elaborating on Hinamori’s character here.

You know, this comes up a lot in both fandom and real-life—this talk of forgiveness and redemption, getting “over” it—and it’s not something that necessarily interests me because of how it’s typically presented. I think it’s pretty reflective of the space and language we lack to explore conversations outside this model of punitive justice and its by-products.

I like to think that for someone like Hinamori who has a solid moral code and tends to shoulder responsibility for a lot of things—her people, her position, her friends, even the work she does for the academy—she’d subscribe to models like transformative justice or restorative justice. 

I think she believes that Soul Society can one day be a better place but also acknowledge that the expression of it is imperfect and not a one-size-fits-all solution. As someone who actually puts in the work, a path forward can manifest in two ways: one for Lieutenant Hinamori and the other for Hinamori Momo.

Hinamori plays an active role in the institution. She’s on the inside of this whole thing. In the aforementioned post I said that Hinamori can choose to bury her head in the sand, rage and follow in Aizen’s footsteps, grow bitter and alienate parts of herself, or hold onto this moral vision of hers and learn to work in and outside the Seireitei for a better Soul Society. We’ve seen her reclaim her lieutenancy on her terms, so I don’t think she’ll have much trouble there. And we know she has no problem challenging authority. I think she can learn to make the system work for her and her cause. I imagine that on the outside she would start some community outreach program to improve the lives of the Rukongai denizens. 

Internally though, it’s complicated. I’m not going to get into it here but I think Hinamori and Aizen have a lot more in common than either would admit and I think a big part of their relationship was almost like a response to the roles they both had to play within the Seireitei, roles they didn’t necessarily agree with. 

While writing this I kept thinking: who would Hinamori be if she had not joined the gotei (and if Soul Society had other avenues for souls like hers)? I think she would still retain her moral compass and ambition, but what would that look like on the outside? Maybe in direct opposition to the Seireitei, participating in or even leading an upheaval? And that’s a hard pill to swallow, that if circumstances were just a little different, she could find herself on the other side. (Not in the same way though, for obvious reasons.)

I think Hinamori would agree with the following: that violence has history, and crime—instead of a law broken—can be seen as a relationship that has been damaged. A relationship between people, between communities, between systems, a relationship of trust. (I mean, isn’t that what the Soul Society arc was about? Isn’t that what Aizen preyed on?) 

I think Hinamori knows that the cause of Aizen and co’s defection was rooted in the history of the underbelly of the system they uphold. I think this goes back to how they lack the language and space to acknowledge this reality and engage in meaningful and productive dialogue to the betterment of the institution, the perpetrators (because they are and have to be a part of this conversation), the victims and community. 

So, do I think Hinamori could forgive Aizen? As lieutenant, I think she would have to come to terms with and understand the greater “why” of his defection to proceed responsibly. For models like restorative and transformative justice, the victim has to be the one to initiate the conversation and it has to be mutually agreed upon. Interestingly, she was not given that choice when the Wandenreich invaded. It may sound defeatist, but I think this is something that must be continuously processed: for as long as she works for the gotei, Aizen becomes more a concept than a person. Every once in a while, when a new enemy rises or when she hears the whisper of a wandering ghost, she’ll remember his words.

For Hinamori Momo, someone who feels deeply and values greatly, I don’t think it’s as simple as to forgive or not forgive (maybe it’s something beyond that). Aizen had a great impact on her and I’m sure some of the knowledge she gained she still believes in and incorporates into her work. I don’t want to take that away from her, nor do I think that means she’s still holding out hope to one day pick up where they left off. It’s not denying his violence or solely championing the good times, it’s about recognizing that in some ways she valued his mentorship and guidance. That he took up a major space in her life that cannot be taken up by another nor can she wave it away like it never happened. It’s a transformative process, taking something and crafting it into your image, and sometimes that’s the hardest path to take.

But like I said, I don’t think their society has the tools to facilitate this type of conversation without alienating another (like, I don’t think the gotei questions her being there, but maybe every once in a while, when she messes up on something they’ll attribute it to her trauma, which can be pretty damaging. It’s a cycle—she’s off her game for whatever reason —> they’ll think it’s because of Aizen —> that makes her even more anxious and resentful because is it? How is she to know if no one wants to openly talk —> so on and so forth). I said I see Hinamori as someone who is always asking herself “am I feeling this right?” and this is definitely one of those instances. 

-----------

I don’t think this answers your question, anon, but I hope you see where I’m coming from! Thank you so much for the ask. I had a lot of fun thinking it through<33

Cons are good a.u.

How much better would the decepticons handle neurodivergence?

Hmm well, I'm sure they would have something but they're not really that far away from Cybertron.

Decepticons were originally from Cybertron and followed their rules until they were outcasted. Some of the best medics and mechanics were sided with Decepticons, although with lack of proper equipment and medicine, there isn't much to work with outside of major cities outside Cybertron they control.

Despite things not being registered in the medical code, the Decepticon medics handle such things as any real issue one would have.

For example Shockwave/Longarm- he has a slight personality split thing from creation. He was originally just a normal civil mech just living his life as more than one person. When the war was brewing he joined the Decepticons and with his ability to be one person with many faces he acts as a spy for them.

Blitzwing is a whole new thing- he was programmed with some sort of AuDHD (autism+adhd). He was originally a seeker working in the Decepticon file department along with Shockwave and got the appropriate treatment but the need to move and be in action was eating him inside out, so Megatron re-assigned him to be a seeker scout. Then the war got rougher and Decepticons were forced to abandon any honor they had left and turn to more heinous means.

The projects to improve their frames started and along with that several candidactes volunteered or were picked. Blitzwing originally didn't want to do it but got persuaded by Megatron. The success rates were low but Blitzwing was a success... at a cost.

Something went wrong with his programming when adjusting to another altmode and now he had a permanent personality disorder. He was the first and the last to go under such procedure and be alive.

Blitzwing may be scared of Megatron after this but Megatron still treats him with respect. He thinks of Blitzwing as his son and will protect him if need be.

I don't really know where i was going with this, i'm a bit rusty but to summarize: The 'cons are aware of the existance of such issues and are trying their best to help folks with them. They have treatment and try to share it with whoever they can without getting them killed for having associations with Decepticons. Those that have neurodivergent and other issues get assigned to appropriate jobs to do well in.

Cybertron's council is corrupt and they only care about profit so people are forced to live in this pretend-utopia dystopia to survive and deal with whatever shit hits them. If they have those undiagnosed issues the society only treats them as useless troublemakers and they are most likely quick to lose jobs.

Bumblebee, being forged in the corrupt era of Cybertron, had several issues with his programming and ended up being an underdeveloped frame that got classified as minibot. He struggled with academy and somehow landed a job at a club, the owner was secretly a decepticon-favoring folk and got him in touch with specialists to patch whatever issues he had, even sponsored it when he didn't have money for the procedures. He had a little easier life.

On earth he got diagnosed with ADHD and symptoms of depression- Ratchet never says where he gets the treatment pills for him but they work so he never bothers to ask. Prowl has autism so he's also on the treatment list, Optimus too (PTSD stuff). (He pays Swindle to deliver him stuff a normal supply delivery wouldn't give him. It's the only reason he's able to maintain them all working. A less ethical practice of his is copying one's files to another hard drive in case their system crashes and deletes them, he keeps quiet about it.)

I think that's about it? Lemme know if i missed something.

Future Ghost Chapter 8

 McCoy sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. McCoy's gut told him Danny was a good kid at heart despite the lies. The boy clearly had his reasons for wanting to hide what he was. However, regulations demanded full disclosure of medical status. McCoy had to get to the bottom of this. Not even getting into the fact the ensign was a minor and had managed to skip the schooling the academy provided. Command was not going to like that.

He tapped his com device on the wall. "McCoy to Kirk. Jim, can you and Spock meet me in my office? I need your help with something?”  What he wanted to tell the two was best left off of official records or written records.

A moment later, Kirk responded. "On my way, Bones. Is everything okay?"

McCoy sighed. "Just get down here, and I'll explain."

While waiting, McCoy reviewed Danny's scans again, fascinated and puzzled by the unknown DNA signature. He wished he could sit Danny down and have an honest talk with him and make the kid feel safe enough to open up. But Danny was clearly too scared for that right now. Hopefully, Kirk could get through to him. Another idea popped into Mccoy’s mind. Scotty could talk to the kid while he explained the situation to Jim and Spock. Maybe make the kid feel like he had someone in his corner instead of the lecture interrogation that would follow.

Picking up the flip phone-style comm unit, he dialed in the code for Mr. Scott. "Scotty, I need you to meet me in my office as soon as possible. It's about Ensign Fenton."

“That bad, Len?” Scotty’s accented voice replied.

“Just get up here,” Mccoy Answered.

The sound of footsteps brought McCoy back to the present, and he glanced up to see Kirk, Spock, and Scotty entering his office. Their expressions were a mix of concern and curiosity, and they were clearly eager to learn what warranted this impromptu meeting.

"Thank you for coming so quickly," McCoy began, gesturing for them to take a seat. "We have a bit of a situation with Ensign Fenton. For one, he's only fifteen, and he fancies himself a skilled hacker…. he skipped the academy altogether. And he’s hacked and forged his medical records. He claims he’s a hybrid, but from what little he told me, I’m afraid we might be dealing with an abusive augmentation experimentation case here. Whatever his parents did to give him extra abilities."

Spock had a perfect poker face, not letting any emotions slip; he only allowed a raised eyebrow to indicate his interest. “Fascinating. It is illogical to conceal one's true nature, and the amount of deceit is alarming, while it is an impressive task he implemented."

“Abilities in what way? Like Evens, ESP, or enhanced strength and intelligence like augments?” Kirk asked.

“Now, I haven’t done a full examination or test of his abilities, just what he’s told me. I don’t know how much he can do with his mind or how many ESP capabilities he has, but from the sounds of it, whatever was done, whatever his parents were experimented with, gave empathetic abilities and more physical ones, like invisibility.”

Kirk's eyes lit up with a realization. “The away missions!” Captain Kirk furrowed his brow; he was concerned about the ensign's lies but more so for his well-being, having observed the young man performing admirably during away missions. "I did think he seemed a bit young," Kirk admitted.

“While the ensign could be tied with the success rate of the away missions he has been on, is there only way to measure this?” Spock asked.

Mccoy nodded. “He does give off a faint energy signal of some sort. My instruments have trouble picking it up. It could match the signature we have been finding. It’s possible it gets stronger when he’s using his abilities. It…...just needs further study.”

Spock and Kirk looked thoughtful. Mccoy knew that Kirk had a soft spot for kids, especially those from rough backgrounds. He knew he’d be willing to give the ensign a chance, especially if he didn’t mean any harm to the crew. Mccoy was well aware that it broke Jim’s heart not being able to help Charlie Evens; they just were not equipped to help an unstable teen with powers. Hell, Jim had been willing to speak of for the Evens kid when those energy beings came to collect him. Jim had a big capacity for compassion. After all the things that the kid did, Jim was willing to try, arguing that they could teach him, saying that he just needed someone to teach him.

Mccoy mused that, it was a good sign that this ensign, while similar, was very different from that case. At least this kid hadn’t lashed out at anyone with his abilities. And if his hunch was correct, the kid had been using them to help on away missions. Granted, they would have to discuss what would be done. Should they allow him to stay aboard or make him actually go through the academy? Having him underage and possibly on the run from something added a whole other can of worms. Mccoy wanted to give him a chance, but he’d be for the option that would be in the best interest for the kids wellbeing as well as keeping everyone safe.

Scotty looked surprised but interrupted with a hint of defensiveness in his tone. "Ensign Fenton's done well in my department, Doc. Never had any problems with the lad."

"I know," McCoy replied, nodding to acknowledge Scotty's point. "But this goes beyond his work performance. He's a hybrid or augment of some sort, and he's terrified of revealing the truth about his nature and what happened to him."

As McCoy spoke, he could see the concern etched on Kirk's face.

"First, we need to get him to open up," McCoy continued. "I've already tried, but I think maybe Scotty would have better luck, given their working relationship. I think that would be best before we call him in here to explain himself.”

Scotty nodded, determination set in his features. "Aye, I'll give it a go, Doctor. Maybe I can help put his fears to rest."

"Thank you, Scotty." McCoy turned to address the others. "While he's doing that, I'd like you two to help me look into Ensign Fenton's background. His DNA is an exact match for a human, but there's also something else – something I've never seen before. There are no matches in the Starfleet database, so we're dealing with completely uncharted territory here. I have no idea what substance was being experimented on, and from what he told me, his parents found some entity from another dimension, which is very concerning. "

Spock raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the challenge. "Fascinating. We shall assist you in your investigation, Doctor."

"Alright then," McCoy said, clapping his hands together. "Let's get to work."

Danny sat on the biobed, staring at his lap, his fingers fidgeted nervously at his side, and he wished he could simply fade away. But before he could act on the impulse, Scotty approached him with a warm smile and a friendly clap on the back.

"Come now, lad," Scotty said, his tone light and teasing. "Why are you giving our good doctor such a hard time?"

Danny swallowed hard, trying to steady his racing thoughts. He hesitated for a moment before responding, his voice barely above a whisper. "I just... I didn't think anyone would believe me……and……I’ve never had to explain it before."

"Ya shouldn't assume what we will or won't believe Danny," Scotty reassured him gently.

“I know……but it’s hard to talk about…..I always feel like a freak.” Danny replied in a sad tone.

Scotty reached out and placed a hand on Danny's shoulder. “Hey lad, none of that ya hear.” Scotty noticed how the young teen relaxed under his touch. Scotty made eye contact with Danny, giving him a reassuring look. “You’ll always have a place in my department…...but if you want to stay, you have to give the full story to the captain. Giving him the full story will help him make a decision or even decide to give ya an opportunity; otherwise, he might only have a few choices to make for ya.”

“I’ll try…...it’s just hard,” Danny mumbled.

“Now, don’t tell me too much, cause you’ll have to repeat it, but Mccoy told me you could turn invisible, can ya show me?” Scotty asked, he was in truth very curious what the lad could do. And maybe showing the wee lad that he was okay with his abilities would put him at ease.

Danny gave Scotty a shy look but nodded. With that, he disappeared from the visible spectrum.

Danny's disembodied voice echoed through the room. "You don’t think this is weird?”

“What no! This is amazing!” Scotty reaches out and prods at the empty air, his brow furrowed in concentration, as he could feel the solid form of the ensign but not see him. *Really gotta work on the kid’s confidence; something that is weird isn’t bad. * Scotty thought to himself. “Can you do anything else lad?”

Danny, feeling encouraged by Scotty’s reaction and the feeling of his positive emotions flowing off of him, felt comfortable enough to share more. He could tell his boss didn’t think he was a freak. Danny's disembodied voice held a hint of pride. "Watch this." With a shimmer, he reappeared on the bed, concentrating, and his body went transparent; he showed off his ability to go intangible. "I can do all sorts of stuff – phase through walls, even manipulate ice, a bunch of stuff……honestly, if you think of a ghost…...or anything a ghost can do……I can do……” Danny trailed off, testing the waters, without saying HE was half ghost.

Scotty let out a whistle. “That’s mighty impressive, lad!” Scotty gave Danny a considering look. “Have you been using them on away missions?”

Danny nodded eagerly. “Yeah! I’ve been trying my best to help where I can….I have a good handle on them. When I first got them…..it was a mess. I’d accidentally phase out my own clothes or fall through floors.”

Scotty raised an eyebrow at this. “I’m glad ya, got a handle on it, can’t have you falling through the ship out into space. Ya know that will be a good thing to mention to the captain, every little bit of information will help him decided what to do with ya.”

Danny decided not to mention that he’d probably be okay out in space right now. “Do with me? What’s gonna happen?” Danny felt his anxiety increase.

“Nothing bad lad. I Imagine it’s more of deciding whether to ship you back to Earth or not. Regardless if you stay or not, you’ll be ok, lad, Nobody gonna harm ya. However, ya might get some extra chores as punishment for lying. Don’t worry about it to much, I’ll be right here with ya.” Scotty replied.

Before continuing their conversation, Mccoy, Kirk, and Spock exited the CMO’s office and walked over to the medical room where Danny was located.

"Alright, Ensign Fenton," Dr. McCoy said, “Are you ready?” He asked.

Danny nodded his head. He still felt nervous, but he was trying to be brave. It did help that Scotty was standing by his bedside, giving him encouraging glances.

Captain Kirk leaned forward, his eyes filled with compassion. "Danny, we can keep your medical information confidential, but you have to tell Dr. McCoy the truth. Otherwise, you will face disciplinary action, including time in the brig. Do you understand?"

Danny hesitated, his breath hitching in his chest. He glanced at the faces surrounding him—Scotty, who had been nothing but kind; Spock, who regarded him with cool curiosity; and Dr. McCoy, whose concern was palpable beneath his stern facade. Finally, with a heavy sigh, Danny relented.

"Alright," he muttered, casting his eyes downward. “I’ll answer whatever you want to know.”

“Good, good,” Kirk replied, relieved the teen wasn’t giving them a hard time. “I would like to know for the record if your name is Daniel Fenton?”

“Yes, I didn’t lie about that. That’s my real birth name.” Danny replied. He was partly relieved they were starting with the easy questions.

“Fascinating,” Spock spoke up. “Because when we tried to find a file on you, the only documents found were the ones you made. You don’t exist in the Federation database.” Spock ended his statement in a way that prompted an explanation.

Danny rubbed the back of his neck. “How far back did you look?” Danny felt nervous, so much for easy questions.

The senior officers pinned him with an intense stare at that question. Mccoy slowly asked, almost afraid of the answer. “Ensign……What year were you born?”

“Um…..February 12th……1989….” Danny replied having trouble keeping eye contact with the officers around him.

There was a thick silence that felt like it could be cut with a knife. Spock raised his eyebrow in interest. Captain Kirk dragged his hand down his face and gave a deep sigh in frustration. This complicated things if the ensign was to be believed.

Scotty stared incredulously at Danny but soon gave him a thoughtful look. This explanation explained some of the teen's actions and words.

"You're from the past," McCoy said slowly. Comprehension dawned in his eyes. "That's why you lied about your age. You're not just underage - you're centuries displaced!"

“How…. how did this happen, Ensign,” Kirk asked, getting straight to the point.

Danny’s gaze flicked between the officers. "I got stuck here because of a stupid wish."

The disbelief on the faces of his commanding officers was evident, and Dr. McCoy pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Son, you're going to have to explain that one a little better."

“I know, I know," Danny interjected quickly, his voice small. "It's just... hard to explain. And you said to start at the beginning…...ok…here it goes….” Danny's eyes darted between the four older men, weighing his options. With a defeated sigh, he finally relented.  I'm... I'm a half-ghost. My parents are fringe scientists who study this material called ectoplasm….and they figured out a way to build this interdimensional portal. I accidentally got stuck inside when it turned on. The ectoplasm from the Ghost Zone merged with my DNA, making me a human-ghost hybrid. That's why my biology is... weird."

Scotty scratched his head, bemused. "Well, lad, I didn't think it would sound so... strange."

"Of course, it sounds strange!" Danny huffed; his cheeks flushed with indignation.

“While strange, it’s not out of the range of possibilities, and while impressive someone from the 20th century could create that level of technology, it’s not impossible.” Spock cut in. “This portal you mentioned, where their beings inside, did something send you through time?” Spock asked.

“Yeah……these ghosts from the zone, they’re like energy beings……they have their own culture, government, laws, and lives. It’s like a world, like the inverse of this one. It’s very different. From what I understand, ectoplasm combines with a soul and makes them into this energy being, kinda like a second life. Cause you get all these different instincts and impulses. And……I know not all of the beings in this dimension started out on this side of reality, like they give birth, and some formed in the zone, so I guess not all of them had a different live.” Danny tried his best to explain, but it was hard, how do you explain an entire culture and world in a few words.

“Fascinating,” Spock replied.

“I’m taking it one of these ‘ghosts’ or energy beings sent you forward?” Kirk asked his expression thoughtfully.

“Yea…...there’s this ghost that’s a genie, she likes to grant wishes, but she twists them, and she gets stronger after doing this. She’s a pain to fight……they like to fight….but also I had to cause….she was causing trouble in my town……granted wishes left and right, like someone would ask for a dog, but she’s make this giant rabbit monster dog that would try to eat them…..”

“Is this common…. a common ability?” Mccoy asked, his tone of concern.

“Um…..everyone has abilities. I’d say her ability wasn’t common, at least not that I’ve seen. The common ones that everyone gets…. are invisibility, flight and intangibility. Everything else varies, depending on all sorts of stuff.” Danny replied. He didn���t want to get into obsessions just yet. This was a lot to explain at one time.

“What did you wish for exactly, lad?” Scotty asked, generally curious.

“Um…. ok, understand I wanted to be an astronaut, and I didn’t know she was close by……I just….it was an off handed comment…. I just said I wish I could go to space…...I didn’t expect to get flung into the future.” Danny explained.

"Ensign Fenton," Spock inquired, a rare note of curiosity in his voice, "is invisibility the extent of your capabilities?"

Danny hesitated for a moment before admitting, "No, I can do lots of stuff."

Kirk held up one hand, stopping any further explanation. “I would also like a full report on all the abilities you possess and a demonstration, but we can get to that later. Danny, where are you from?”

“I’m from Amity Park, Illinois. I imagine you’re gonna look me up. Can you not tell me what you find? I’ve been avoiding looking at history stuff and what happened to my hometown. Or if I make it back or not…... I’ve been scared that I don’t.”

“You believe you’re not stranded here?” Spock asked.

“Um….well….there’s this one ghost….his name is Clockwork, his main ability has to do with time. He watches the timelines and corrects them when they go wrong. I figured he’d pluck me out and send me home. But he hasn’t, so maybe I’m supposed to be here. I hope he’ll get me home, or maybe I have to find my way to the zone and ask him that way. But he’s really hard to find if he doesn’t want to be found. I was hoping he’d send me home, cause talking to him can be annoying, he likes to say things in riddles.” Danny explained.

The senior officers were looking at him with looks of surprise and incredulous stares.

“We’re going to come back to that ensign. Clearly, you’ve lived an exciting life.” Kirk said. “But I promise we won’t tell you of any……spoilers…. but yes, it would provide a way to confirm your story.”

“Danny, it sounds like these beings had access to your town?” Scotty asked.

“Yeah, the portal my parents built was never shut down, so it provided an open doorway for them to get through….now not all of them are like this……most tend to stay in the zone…..but some would attack my town…..and since I was really the only one that could stand up to them…..I’d have to fight them.” Danny replied, thinking nothing of this.

“What about you’re parents?” Kirk asked.

“They didn’t know…... I was scared to tell them.”  Tears pricked at the corners of Danny's eyes. "They believed that all ghosts are evil, as something to be hunted down and destroyed. I wasn’t sure they would accept me.” Danny admitted, his voice shaking. “They already hated my ghost form…...they’d shoot at me….and try to capture me and talk about dissecting me and tearing me apart molecule by molecule.”

The four older men around him looked at him in horror at this.

“Kid…..I hope you know, we’d never do that to you…..that Starfleet wouldn’t do that do you.” Mccoy asked with slow, measured words. He’d love to give the kid's parents a good talking to and set them straight for the neglect and abuse they put their kid through.

“The whole ghost thing, it's not something everyone gets. And I didn't want to end up some science experiment or, worse, kicked out of Starfleet." Danny replied, tone sad.

McCoy sighed, his expression softening further. "Son, do you really think we'd do that to you? Starfleet is about embracing diversity and finding strength in our differences. You should've trusted us."

"Guess I messed up, huh?" Danny's shoulders slumped.

"Let's not focus on that," McCoy replied. "Now, tell me more about this 'ghost form' of yours. What does that mean?"

Danny rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, basically, I can switch between my human and ghost forms. Basically, I present more of one biologically when I do this change.”

“Was this change drastically different than your human form?” Kirk asked, wondering if the kid’s parents didn’t recognize him, not that it would excuse the hunting of a sentient being.

“I mean…...it’s not too different…look wise. I glow and have white hair and green eyes…... but I don’t look too different…... I think it was not something people would think is possible, so nobody made the connection.” Danny replied with a shrug.

“I think that’s enough for now……I’ll let you know of my decision later…...this is a lot to take in. In the meantime, Bones, keep Danny in medical for now until we get this sorted out.” Kirk focused his attention on Danny again. “Will you let Mccoy do an in-depth DNA and physical examination?”

"Yes, Captain," Danny agreed, his shoulders slumping slightly in resignation.

"Let's work on creating a baseline for your normal, shall we?" McCoy suggested, trying to put Danny at ease. "It might be slow going since you don't know all the details yourself, but it's important that we understand your unique physiology."

Danny nodded, swallowing hard. "Yes, sir."

"You're safe here. I promise we'll take good care of you," Mccoy told him, patting his arm.

The boy offered a tentative smile. "Thanks, I appreciate it."

McCoy nodded to Kirk, Spock, and Scotty as they left. He turned to his young patient and said firmly, "Now then, let's start getting a baseline..."

Chapter 9

[republicsecurity]

Flashback

[The courtyard is filled with cadets in their black armor, moving in formation. The camera zooms in on JK505, standing ramrod straight with his shaved head gleaming under the harsh lights. The scene freezes, and JK505's voiceover begins.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "Yup, that’s me. You're probably wondering how I ended up here, an 18-year-old in black armor with a shaved head, living and training at the Enforcer Academy. Well, let me take you back a couple of years."

[The scene transitions to a younger JK505, 16 years old, with a full head of hair, standing in front of the imposing gates of the Enforcer Academy. He's wearing a school uniform, looking a bit unsure but determined.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "It all started when I was 16. My parents got a nice sign-up bonus from the security forces for enrolling me here. I didn't mind much, since I knew I'd have to do three years of conscript service anyway. This program was four years split into two years of learning and conditioning, followed by two years of service. The pitch was appealing: a secure career, discipline, and a sense of purpose."

[Cut to scenes of basic training: physical drills, classes on security protocols, and scenes of JK505 in various stages of training, gradually losing his hair and gaining muscle.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "The first few months were intense. Physical training, learning protocols, and adapting to life in the academy. They shave your head as part of the induction—something about uniformity and discipline. I wasn't exactly into muscular men with shaved heads back then. Hell, I wasn't muscular myself."

[Flash to a scene of JK505 struggling with push-ups, then gradually improving over time, his physique becoming more defined.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "But things change. The training is rigorous, and you either adapt or wash out. I adapted. Built muscle, gained endurance, and learned to live by the academy's strict code. The downside? It’s not all glory and honor. There’s a lot of control, a lot of conditioning. You don’t have much of a personal life. They even conditioned me to be gay, told us it was about unit cohesion or some bullshit like that."

[Cut to a scene of JK505 in his armor, helmet on, standing in formation. The helmet visor reflects the harsh academy lights.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "We spend most of our time in these suits. They control a lot of what we do, monitor our every move, even our thoughts sometimes. It's... intrusive. But it’s part of the deal. You trade freedom for security, independence for structure. We wear chastity cages to prevent any distractions, and our new ID numbers are tattooed on our chests. I'm JK505 now. We're prohibited from using our real names."

[Flash to a scene of JK505 and 60CCD in their quarters, laughing and sharing a moment of camaraderie. Another scene shows them during a rigorous training session, supporting each other.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "Despite the downsides, I've made friends. Real friends. People who understand what this life is like, who support each other through the tough times. Like 60CCD. We joke about the crazy things we go through, help each other stay sane. He calls me 'Zucker,' and I call him 'Spatzl.' We’re more than friends; we’re occasional bedmates when the Academy permits it."

[Cut to a scene of JK505 in the chow hall, receiving his meal and medication, then sitting down with 60CCD and other cadets, sharing a moment of normalcy amidst the regimented routine.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "So, here I am. Eighteen years old, in black armor, with a shaved head, training to be an enforcer. It’s not the life I imagined, but it's the one I chose. In two months, I'll be ready to graduate and serve the Republic. It’s got its ups and downs, but I’m making it work. And who knows? Maybe I'll come out of this stronger, better, and ready for whatever comes next."

[The scene fades back to the present, JK505 standing tall and resolute in the courtyard, ready to continue his training. The camera zooms out, showing the bustling life of the academy around him, a mix of discipline and camaraderie.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "For now, it's one day at a time, one step closer to becoming the best enforcer I can be."

[The scene transitions to a younger JK505, 16 years old, with a full head of hair, standing in a stark, clinical room with other new recruits. The scene is bathed in cold, fluorescent light.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "The first day they shaved my head, I remember feeling the clippers buzz through my hair. It was a strange sensation, one of many to come."

[JK505 sits in a chair, a fellow cadet, who is already bald, rubs an ointment into his freshly shaved scalp.]

Cadet: "This will prevent hair growth for the next month. Get used to it."

JK505 (Voiceover): "The ointment was cold, the smell sharp and medicinal. It was just the beginning."

[The scene shifts to a dimly lit room where JK505 lies on a table, wires attached to his head, his body tense. The conditioning chamber hums softly, the air thick with anticipation.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "Then came the conditioning sessions. Wires attached to my head, a mix of pleasant and unpleasant sensations coursing through me. They were changing me, shaping my thoughts and desires."

[Flashes of JK505's face, eyes wide with a mix of pain and euphoria as the conditioning takes hold. The scene then shifts to a sterile room with bright lights, a tattoo artist working on JK505's chest, the numbers "JK505" being inked into his skin.]

Tattoo Artist: "Forget your name. This is who you are now."

JK505 (Voiceover): "I was no longer John or James or whatever I used to be. I was JK505. Identity stripped, a number inked into my skin."

[Cut to a training exercise in a desolate field. Cadets in full body armor march in unison, the rhythm of their steps echoing through the air.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "Training exercises in the field were grueling. Marching in full armor, every step synchronized, every movement calculated."

[JK505's posture changes over time, becoming ramrod straight, his every action precise and deliberate.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "My posture changed. They drilled it into us. You either adapt or get adapted."

[Flashback ends, returning to the present where JK505 stands in the courtyard, a figure of disciplined strength and resolve.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "So, here I am. Eighteen years old, in black armor, with a shaved head, training to be an enforcer. It’s not the life I imagined, but it's the one I chose. In two months, I'll be ready to graduate and serve the Republic. It’s got its ups and downs, but I’m making it work. And who knows? Maybe I'll come out of this stronger, better, and ready for whatever comes next."

[The scene fades back to the present, JK505 standing tall and resolute in the courtyard, ready to continue his training. The camera zooms out, showing the bustling life of the academy around him, a mix of discipline and camaraderie.]

JK505 (Voiceover): "For now, it's one day at a time, one step closer to becoming the best enforcer I can be."

The Protectobots

The Protectobots founded the Rescue Academy and Rescue City. The gestalt all had a base coding for rescue work, with sub coding for positions such as fire rescue, medical, scouting, and enforcement.

Hotspot is their leader, and the oldest. He leads his teams by word and deed. He is a very enthusiastic and energetic leader, sometimes tiring out his siblings. His leadership keeps his team out of harm's way, ensuring that their time in battle or rescues are swift and without complications. His fighting style is considered to be brash, being more of a hand to hand combat guy. However he does have the ability to mix acid with his water-lines, and he owns twin fireball rifles. When him and his siblings combine, he forms the torso and head of Defensor.

Blades is the youngest, but the most experienced fighter of the group. He is fiercely protective of his gestalt, which sometimes scares his fellow Autobots whenever he is pissed. Many mistake his protective nature for being arrogant and unhinged. He supplies air support for his siblings, while also being able to take over some medical rescues in the case that First Aid is busy. His fighting style is very gruesome, whether using his own rotor blades are swords, or using his twin energon pistols, he is a force to be feared by both sides. Several Decepticons who had the misfortune of fighting him have nicknamed him the "Angel of Death." He forms the right hand of Defensor.

First Aid is the resident medic of the team. She is a very timid mech on a normal day, but in the middle of a fight or rescue she can be the most level headed mech there. She is very empathetic, considerate, and kind. Her compassion knows no ends and she will work relentlessly to fix anyone and anything, from broken down tech to Decepticons. She served as an apprentice to Ratchet, having grown close to the old medic to consider him a honorary brother. Her beliefs are rooted more in pacifism, but if anything or anyone threatens her gestalt or the academy, she will not hesitate to stand up and defend those she loves. She has a forcefield just like the gestalt, but hers is able to extend further and take more hits. She forms the left arm of Defensor.

Groove is the scout of the team. She is a free spirited bot, and times before the war she was known to go off on adventures by herself for days on end. She loved her gestalt, but sometimes the long drives are needed for her sanity. She is a true pacifist at spark, she hates the violence of war but has no way to avoid it. The threat the Decepticons have on the academy puts her into a moral struggle, where she wants to protect but without violence. Her weapons are considered to be more pacifist, temporarily stunning the enemy instead of killing. She forms the right leg of Defensor.

Streetwise is the interceptor of the team. He follows his logic, but is led by his spark. He is the smartest mech in the gestalt, and is able to track down any mech, using his processor and speed to outsmart anyone. His weapon arsenal is a combination of long range and short range weapons. He owns twin tonfas, alongside his favorite smoke grenades and explosives. He is often underestimated by the enemy, only to flip that mechs world upside down when he ends the fight. He forms the left leg of Defensor.

Designs

Plus their holoforms

The team originally wanted to keep Rescue City as a true neutral in the war, with their teams and recruits helping Autobots and Decepticons alike. But after Megatron deemed them an enemy due to them helping the Autobots, the Protectobots joined the war on the Autobot side. They kept the academy neutral, while becoming the city's sole protector.

Their fall during their battle with Devastator at Tagan Heights left Rescue City without protection. In the Vorns following the fall Megatron called for the destruction of the city and its inhabitants, leading to the Rescue Bot Massacre.

Unknown to them at the time however, a Sigma ship was in deep space, its crew in stasis.

Starbound oc lore drop because why the heck not!!

a small test group was sent to expand the Terrene Protectorate to space more than they have (in the game there like no other Terrene Protectorate so I'm just assuming that most were on earth for the graduation.). they called the group the Stella Protectorate, this group wasn't able to get to earth for the graduation because they were too far out and were still working on getting the group organized. their goal was to help those in a specific galaxy (the Terrene Protectorate were planning on having groups like this all over for some kind of better policing system and to better connect and help small cites on planets)

ANYHOW

The leader of the group is an Apex named Dmitri Brek. before he joined the Protectorates he lived in one of the Miniknog cities with his wife. she was a scientist for the Miniknog doing shady things and she died. Dmitri started learning more about the Miniknog and he joined the rebels, at some point the Protectorates helped the rebels win a fight and he decided that was the best way to help people, so he joined the academy.

Achere Stormwire was living in a small village as a farmer for who knows how long before one day his code just broke and he realized what was happening around him. His village wasn't super thrilled about that and he became an outcast. One day he was out taking care of the robot chickens when he saw a group in blue uniforms passing through, and even weirder, they were humans. The other glitch around kinda just ignored him, but he was curious, so he talked to them and ended up going back with them and joining the academy. his one goal in life is to be able to lie and have no one notice, even if it's small and insignificant like saying that the sky is green, he hates that he has to say his inflection before the words. Achere works as second in command in the Stella Protectorates.

Wisteria was the youngest member of her tribe, she was both incredibly skilled in hunting, and in her studies with the Greenfinger of her tribe. she watched the Greenfinger make contraptions and get them to work. The scientist from the codex "Florans in the Mist" was at her village, the scientist was able to convince Wisteria of a humans ability to be sentient, and the scientist was probably forced out of the tribe shortly after that. but the idea of more worlds and races made Wisteria curious. so when she was older, she and her Greenfinger made a small ship and she eventually found the academy. In the Stella Protectorates she is the head of security.

Chiyo Yoshida is in charge of Science in the Stella Protectorates. Chiyo was raised by her eccentric philosopher grandfather. she grew up around old scholars and she wanted to learn, she became a scientists, she never really had a specific field, she enjoyed biology and anatomy of all the races but was never interested in anything medical, she just wanted to learn. she learned about the Protectorate academy but wasn't interested, until she learned that she could study science and be around every race and learn more about the universe.

Khonsu was actually born on Avos the home planet of the Avians. He was raised by an influential Stargazer priest. he was raised believing in Kluex. The priest was training him to take over as a Stargazer priest so he could be "reunited with Kluex" (HAVE YOU READ ABOUT THEIR RITUAL SACRIFICES ITS WILD). but our boy Khonsu when he was little, he snuck out of the temple and started exploring the area, and he was so entranced by it that he didn't notice a monster sneak up on him. he got hurt and he decided it was divine punishment, but he wanted to see the outside world again so he went out again, and he was fine, nothing hurt him and he started questioning things. eventually he ran away and started seeing the world for what it was, but his little escape pod he escaped in crashed somewhere and he got stuck (he is still a little kid btw) a member of the Protectorate found him and raised him. he joined the academy once he was old enough so he could help people just like his mom did for him. he still has all of the teachings of Kluex memorized and still has a hard time doing things that were considered forbidden for him. His job in the Stella Protectorate is medic.

TWO MORE

Ackey Bridger grew up in a classic old west town, her pa was the sheriff and her ma was a (retired)bandit (it made family gatherings real interesting) she spent her days riding horses out in the open fields, herding cattle, and chasing down bandits with her pa. as a Novakid she never really felt at home anywhere (even in a town full of Novakid), she yearned for the stars. Ackey kissed her ma and pa goodbye and left. she wandered around for a little bit until she saw a pamphlet for the Protectorate academy outside a gas station, then she was off. somehow she made it through the schooling, she wasn't a great student. Her job in the Stella Protectorate is mostly handling equipment, guns, armor, rations, vehicles, etc.

Last but not least: classic funny blond guy character! (i love him thanks) Curtis Sullivan!!

Curtis grew up watching the Protectorates on TV,he wanted to be like them, he would dress up when he was a little kid in blue clothes and a yellow blanked tied around his neck like a cape and jump around his small suburb home "saving earth". he had a lot of siblings and he falls right in the middle. his older siblings got stable jobs, but he had his heart set on becoming a Protectorate, the problem was money. he worked really hard in school and got tons of scholarships and got a free ride into the academy. he comes off as confident and goofy but he is fully capable of working hard. because of his "people person" personality, his main duty in the Stella Protectorate is dealing with people, making negotiations, talking with leaders, and anything that has to do with being social.

they also have a classic gum chewing, cat eye glasses, secretary, but i haven't gotten around to designing her yet, i know nothing about her lol.

thats them, thats the boys... that was more typing than anticipated.

one thing i really like with these characters is that no matter what they can be in the same world as your player character it's not one or the other idk.

i'm thinking about making little comics with them!
