the ultimate multimuse

Years ago, a rouge scientist began to capture roaming Deathclaws and eggs as test subjects, injecting them with an experimental stimulant steroid that was initially meant to make human beings more resilient to radioactivity. Most of the Deathclaws perished, but the ones that survived thrived and seemed to become…more. gaining enhanced intellect and even speech, the scientist became fearful and tried to kill his creations. but one survived and got away with a large clutch of mixed eggs, including his own from his now deceased mate. Gorr fled into the wasteland, and to shelter the new brood, retreated into a series of underground cavern full of glowing crystals….Seven generations later, Gorr reigned as the clan elder, and they have a flourishing underground society, raising mutant goats, farming mushrooms, hunting mutant fish in the underground streams and giant rodents in the tunnels, totally aware of the world above the surface. My muses are as follows:

Rikko - The protagonist of my story here. He’s a young chameleon type Deathclaw with vitiligo and is the son of Jakra, the current alpha and Niri, the current matriarch and is next in line to take over as clan leader. He is the seven times great grandson of the wise and respected elder Gorr, though he just calls him gramps or grampa. He has a little sister named Toepa, and is a good big brother. He’s soft spoken, curious and gentle, but not very brave and still finding himself.

Shiza - One of two of Rikko's childhood best friends, a female albino. She’s strong willed and a wonderful sparrer and doesn’t take any shit from anyone. She tends to stand up for Rikko if anyone speaks negatively of him, because everyone in the clan knows not to fuck with her.

Zumo - The second childhood best friend. With a broken horn and some battle scars, he’s renowned in the clan for being an expert hunter and fisher despite his young age. He’s big, bulky and thinks mostly with his brawn, but he’s no bully and has a golden heart, standing up for what’s right and standing up for any of the younglings being bullied by older juveniles.
