ROUND 1 POLL 1

Tabby (@cure-icy-writes) vs Murphy Laud (@much-the-millers-kid)

Tabby (Test Batch 11, Designation Null)

She/her

A chimeric lab experiment of team Rainbow Rocket, Tabby was an offshoot of the Mewtwo project created by scientists from a timeline where Mewtwo had never been successfully created. She managed to escape, but is extremely distrustful of most everyone in the outside world.

Her psychic powers are fairly weak in practice, but the energy signature is strong. and the reason most of her powers are functionally sealed off is trauma; she's mentally and emotionally stunted, unstable, and overall a very damaged kiddo. so this is connected to her powers, being psychic. Her full potential is... not the same level of power as mew, not quite, but it's a hell of a lot more than the average psychic. Learned helplessness is also a factor— she internalized the idea that she was weak and a failure from a young age, and lack of positive feedback basically strangled her potential. She could never live up to the expectations placed upon her, but she has the potential to become strong in her own right.

Fun facts about Tabby! Her hair functions as whiskers, so the longer it grows, the more sensitive she is to changes in her environment, and the better control she has over her powers. She's intersex, having mixed human XY, XX, and genderless pokemon DNA, and has to come to terms with what gender means to her. Her appearance is physically that of a prepubescent girl, but she lacks ovaries or a uterus and her endocrine system has a rather androgynous setup that doesn't naturally produce much estrogen or testosterone, meaning she cannot go through puberty without medical assistance. She named herself after the fact that she is, to put it bluntly, stripey. She was the only specimen of the batch to survive precisely because of her chimerism, and has striated skin and hair. She also has one normalish human eye and one eye that's designed for night vision, which is usually covered with an eyepatch. She has lost all of her fingers before, but they grew back. She's not yet aware that cutting hair isn't supposed to be immensely painful.

Murphy Laud

He/Him

Murphy is a generally happy kid, despite his shitty luck.

There’s actually 2 different versions of him: one he’s a human with more of an unlucky black cat motif (hair always knotted on top where there’s pointed ears, long black scarf that is reminiscent of a tail, etc.) as well as some cat like mannerisms (wary until he trusts you then practically circling your ankles, leans into physical affection, etc.)

In the Pokémon verse, he’s a Litleo that gets in over his head sometimes. He doesn’t mean to get in trouble. He just gets excited and doesn’t always watch out.

Please tell me Ghost gets to pat a cat. He looks like he really wants to pat one, even if it's not Raven. 🥺
