Appearance

Garnet Five-Seven-Nine was never anything particularly special. It had simply been engineered to survive, and that is all it would ever do. The blood of many marches through its veins, equipping it with an odd appearance and offering it the (cruel) chance to run the barren wastes that is Hydra. It weighs scarcely two pounds at its healthiest, yet is capable of escape and fairly well-equipped for protection. Hearing, vision, and smell are all incredibly keen senses — thanks to the ears, eyes, and nose of a rabbit. Powerful hind limbs enable it to propel itself with great speed, and to swim powerfully when it is not simply floating with innate buoyancy offered by its segmented, hollow shell. Dark green wings, sail-like and akin to a Quetzalcoatlus's, sprout where feathery gliders once were, broad enough to provide biplane-like flight. Coupled with a long tail and split fins (almost like small wings of its own,) Garnet Five-Seven-Nine is prepared for slow, but precise flight. Post-mutation, it can no longer retract into its shell.

Its color palette is inspired primarily by the Black-Masked Lovebird that gifted it wings and a beak. The face is dark with a bright red beak (a color mirrored in its stone, lying atop its verdant shell.) Green trails down its neck in muddled, soft feathering. Garnet Five-Seven-Nine is, however, primarily a muddy grey color, with paler feet. Eyes, large and rather intelligent, are a crimson red like its stone and beak.

The creature is a herbivore, though it may be coerced by nature and necessity into fish- and insect-eating habits. Its beak is powerful enough to shear through thin bones and flesh, perfect for the consumption of any caught fish.

Personality

It has been taught — no, conditioned to trust only itself, to not waste time, to not consider itself anything. Garnet Five-Seven-Nine is simply a survivor of the trials the Overseers created and proposed. That is all it is, and all that it ever will be.

The creature is not violent or aggressive by any means; it does, in fact, exude a brutally honest exterior in a gentle manner. It never speaks loudly nor out of turn, and keeps to itself. Better to keep your mouth shut than to say something you'll regret and wind up with your innards dashed across the floor. One may see just a few different expressions on Garnet Five-Seven-Nine's face, but that's it. They are subtly different, barely discernable from one another which is, most certainly, unhelpful.

Though it may appear to be reserved and shy, the creature is cunning and quick to react. Those large ears and eyes and powerful nose do not go unused. It flees at the first sign of danger, seeking safety and observation from afar before it does anything, really.

It may offer harried advice to those blatantly too dumb to notice something, but it relies wholly on itself for rescue. Independence has always meant survival in that vast expanse.

History

The memories grow clearer, of trials and tribulations endured for eons. Surviving each one. Learning and incurring a reputation as a bright-eyed champion built for evading death.

After the trial in this new age, Garnet Five-Seven-Nine waits. The old ways must be restored. This is not how it's meant to be.
