Thing

- He doesn't keep the drawing on the bottom right because he wants to. Infact, he's tried to get rid of it multiple times after leaving the house, but for some reason it just keep showing up. So he's accepted the message he assumes the universe was trying to give him, keeping it tucked away in a hidden pocket on the inside of his top..thingy? But Fran drew it for him, him and her as royalty. She was really proud of it, but she barely got any kind of reaction from him. He didn't feel anything looking at it, it was just a crappy doodle with a misspelt title, what was he meant to do with that? Though, during his time with Bodie and Timmy, he slowly starts to feel this stingy pain every time he's reminded of it. He doesn't want to face that feeling though, so he just ignores it.

- His outfit is largely based on old Hunter propaganda promotion material that was left in Milo's room after he passed. Drawings, flyers, anything. Milo had a huge collection, due to his interest in the profession he had collected every piece he could find, even the smallest stamp had to be his. Some of it was really old, showing old fashioned armour and mediocre weaponry, but Milo loved it anyways. And this [along with Milo himself] is what Chester based his appearance on, which is why some of his armour is so out of time.

- The M and I in his surname are meant to resemble a bow and arrow [the I arrow is much more obvious than the bow, but they're both there], this is the weapon that Chester actually enjoys using. The axe was a favourite of Milo, something he took up as part of his process to keep his memory alive. He's fine with it, having learned how to effectively use it, but he always wishes he stuck with the bow, it's what feels right to him, but he doesn't feel like he can turn back now. This is the same reason he has piercings, Milo always wanted them but never got them. So Chester got them, despite not wanting them.

- You can't really see it, but his eye was damaged by the injury that left the scar across his face. This has lead to his eye not fully opening, always slightly squint, and the bottom edge of his vision is blurred in that eye. This can sometimes give him a headache, but he's pretty used to it at this point. Occasionally, when he needs better focus/a break from the blur he'll wear an eyepatch. It's annoying to block out an entire eye, but that's just what he needs.

- The purple strands were a reward for Fran's speech. Fran [one of his younger sisters, now 11] has always struggled speaking, she didn't say a single word till she was 5, and that was only accomplished because of Chester's support. As he continued to help her learn he made her a deal, if she could speak a full sentence in the next month, he'd dye a bit of his hair whatever colour she wanted. She was ecstatic, and reached the goal in the next couple weeks, so he dyed two sections of his hair purple, her favourite colour. He let it fade after Milo's passing, but he suddenly started dying them again, nobody knows why.

- He hates tattoos. This'll be explained in a little snippet I'm working on :3

- Gay. But in denial. He's not homophobic, hell, his older brother has a husband. He just can't accept that he's gay, because...Milo wasn't. Milo never really engaged with 'romance' he was too busy with other things, but he never showed interest in men. So if he was meant to live the life Milo dreamed of, then he couldn't be gay. I think there's a universe out there where a certain gator made these feelings bubble back to the surface, forcing him to accept them, but in the main au, this never happened. He goes on to ignore it as long as he can

- Facially xe doesn't express herself very much. Xe just seems disinterested all the time and she doesn't really try to look any different because xe feels like it just makes her look strange. However, at work she will do her best to smile, to make xemself more approachable to help keep a light air to the environment.

- On the other side of that, xyr voice is extremely expressive. Tone shifting and dipping with every other word, the slightest change in emotion being screamed through her words. This adds to why xe doesn't try much with her face, xyr words do enough

- Xe was actually really scared of any large body of water up to the age of about 14 [this is vulnerable to change, I'm not stuck to it yet]. It took the support of her grandfather and a crab to help xem get over this fear

- HER LEVEL OF INTEREST IN CRUSTACEANS IS NORMAL!! IT IS. YOU GUYS JUST ARENT INTO THEM ENOUGH

- Moore is her mother's maiden name, which xe took after the divorce.

- Xyr hair is naturally brown, the ginger strands are dyed. A true fraud.

- Huge collection of funky belt buckles, as shown by the crab and cat buckles shown above :>
