Following the flames of hope in the descendants of Whiteout the animus gene becomes particularly strong. The Nightwings fully break off from the Rainwings starting a new royal line beginning with Fierceteeth's daughter. Due to the new abundance of Nightwing animus dragons the Nightwings become reliant on them to rebuild their tribe. One animus Nightwing named Mythseeker begins a secret relationship with a Seawing messenger called Marine. Shortly before their eggs are laid Mythseeker is killed by a group of Rainwing assassins to eliminate the threat of the Nightwing animi. Marine leaves her clutch of three hybrid eggs on a bay watching over them until a tropical storm washes all three eggs away with only one egg surviving. The remaining egg washes up on the shores of the Nightwing kingdom found by a Nightwing called Stargazer, a Nightwing seer who interprets the future through astronomical events. Stargazer having recently had her own eggs adopts the egg. When it hatches under a full moon she realises, having been a close friend of Mythseeker, the hatchling is his son. Assuming he would inherit their father's animus magic she fakes a prophecy that her adopted son would be an animus.

Her prediction proves true and Neptune is brought before the Nightwing queen to be the new animus. From a young age Neptune is trained as a tool for the Nightwings and celebrated to the near point of worship for being an all powerful prophecised animus. Stargazer in secret takes him to visit his mother but Neptune decides to stay with the dragon who raised him only occasionally meeting Marine. Neptune is made to wear skyfire as his Seawing genes cause the seer abilities he gains from his full moon hatching incredibly distressing and painful. The skyfire also masks his inner doubts from the Nightwings, he is haunted by stories of animus dragons like Darkstalker and Albatross and fears the seemingly pointless enchantments the Nightwings demand will lead him down a similar path. Despite having no interest in ever marrying or any form of partnership he is placed in a arranged marriage with a high-ranking noble's daughter named Honourbringer. She has similar intentions to him and they bond over plotting to escape the arrangement. He enjoys the one friend he is allowed to have.

At 6 years old the Nightwing queen allows him to attend jade mountain academy so he can receive training from other tribes on how to master his animus magic. He insists his adoptive siblings he was hatched with also attend guilt-ridden that they are neglected in his favour. He struggles to make friends in his winglet outcast for his upbringing. Except for one dragon a fellow hybrid named Venus Dragon-trap the infamous 'hybrid princess of the leafwings' the rainwing hybrid niece of the queen she tries so hard to silence. Venus encourages Neptune to learn to stand up for themself and be assertive and the two become close friends. In the end both push eachother towards a better life Neptune stands by Venus as she challenges her aunt for throne. And Venus stands by Neptune as he demands to be treated as a real dragon by his tribe loosening the constant demands and ending the arranged marriage with Honourbringer. He continues to work on carefully crafted projects with his magic and spend time with his family and his two best friends Venus and Honourbringer.

oh god this was meant to be a short summary

it's a little cliche but I like it. Arguably Stargazer is an awful parent (well-meaning but it only gets you so far) but it's rare for any of my OCs to have moral parents Marine is also worse. My OCs tend to have a dead dad,morally questionable mother and morally better (though how much is better changes) adoptive parents. I don't know why this is not reflective of my real life parents.

anyway as a reward here's a scribble of him invoking his purest essence which is sad wet cat.

Dislikes: Being around kids for too long, overly sweet or bitter foods, chalky/mushy textures, serious people, and being flirted with.

How Tetra feels about the other Cleaners:

Supporters

Gris: "For his godly strength, I honestly expected him to be rougher around the edges, but he's terribly kind and really easy to open up to!"

Tomme: "Honestly, reminds me of how an older sister would act in certain situations. She's cool, too. I like talking to her about random theories we have and about the trash beasts she does some research on."

Follo: "He's a sweet and cute kid. Really determined to protect the people he cares about, kinda like Gris."

Team Akuta

Enjin: "I don't like him... He flirted with me one time, and I asked if he liked dudes- hehe, it was funny. But, um... I still have some respect for him. I mean, he is combatant and Akuta's leader."

Zanka: "You can tell he puts himself to pretty high standards. He is still pretty young.. I admire his determination to get stronger, though."

Riyo: "She's fun to talk to, like Tomme, but I'm not too big on hanging out with people that much younger than me."

Rudo: "He's still a kid, which honestly makes his story on how he came down here a little worse.. He's found his people, though, which I'm happy for him :)"

Team Eager

Delmon: "Very passionate, but very loud, which I'm not the biggest fan of. He can be pretty gentle, regardless of his volume."

Tamsy: "There is something off about him. Even though I haven't seen him do any wrong, I can't help but be wary of him. I'm also so drawn to him because of his voice and looks, so my feelings verses actions towards him are pretty conflicting :/"

Team Child

Bro: "I love him, man! He's the best father (figure) towards Dear and Guita. I've opened up to him probably more times than I should ○3○ "

Guita: "She's crazy friendly, which has its pros and cons.. I think she's pretty cool, though! Her vital instrument is absolutely insane!"

Dear: "I twitch a lot, too, especially if I'm upset or angry, so I can kind of relate to him on some sort of level. Also, even though he's ten, he's pretty fun to hangout with; Bro let's me babysit him from time-to-time."

Other roles

Corvus: "Does not talk about himself at all. I haven't even seen him eat or drink anything while I've worked here. He's either in his office or on a work trip. He does wander around HQ sometimes just to check up on us, though. Mad respect for the man even though I don't know jack about him T^T "

Semiu: "She reminds me of honey for some reason? Uh, I honestly draw her a lot, kind of like a do with Tamsy for almost the same exact reasons. I did give her a drawing a made of her one time and she just put it in one of the drawers under the desk. I wonder if it's still there..?"

August: "Definitely not my usual people, but we've known each other for awhile. Designing (for different things) is probably what we bond over the most! One hundred percent a very close friend of mine."

Eishia: "Automatic respect for her because of her job! She's nice, but way too quiet, even moreso compared to August. I can't say she's a friend, but we talk to each other on the occasion :)"

Before the OT3, Shion had two relationships: Zane Armbrust and Rena Hoffmann. Zane was her partner during their cadet days when they were both in their late teens, and in hindsight her feelings were more platonic than romantic (which contributed to them breaking up around graduation). Being with Zane helped Shion begin healing from the long-term emotional abuse inflicted by her mother, but between that and her parents' unhealthy relationship as her main example, she made many mistakes, including sleeping with him because he wanted it, because the act was expected. (To be fair, Zane was also figuring himself out; a few years later he meets a man who he ends up marrying.)

Thanks to that growth, the version of Shion who meets Rena is in a much better place to have a relationship. And Shion falls head over heels for her. I don't think Rena was aspec, instead a deeply empathetic person who worked hard to identify and meet her lover's wants and needs while communicating her own. Often with teasing involved. Sure, they had their stumbles along the way as they figured out who they were together. But through that safety and acceptance, Shion first found pleasure in sex with Rena, later even initiating it on rare occasions. Despite their crapsack world, they were happy for years. And then Shiganshina was attacked, taking Rena's life alongside so many others.

(Why did Rena have to become such a wonderful character?? I once again must apologize to an OC for putting them through so much anguish.)

Shion throws herself into the Survey Corps in the wake of Rena's death, alternating between Expeditions and helping train new recruits, never rising to a captain rank due to occasional reckless behavior. Her luck runs out when she breaks both legs fighting a Titan, leading to months of recovery and then post-recovery physical therapy and training to rejoin the Survey Corps. She should have given up, retired, changed jobs, but if she wasn't a soldier fighting Titans, what would she have left?

It's this version of Shion who joins Squad Jonas, and her time with them slowly helps her realize how much the past few years have rocked her to the core. How far she's strayed from Rena's desire for her to seek joy. In trying to recover that better version of herself, Shion changes to the point that she catches Hange's attention, and soon after that is when Cut to the Feeling begins.

Given all this, Shion is utterly unprepared to fall in love again, let alone with someone like Levi. Yet she won't suppress those feelings because they were unexpected. In fact, she finds joy in loving Levi (and Hange, albeit under the assumption that her feelings are purely platonic there).

It's the physical aspects of that love which Shion struggles with. Unlike Rena, Levi isn't one to talk about such things. He's direct, blunt, and forward. And Shion will prioritize his needs and wants over her own. Which leads to tension between them once Hange turns their pair into a triad.

Because, subconsciously, Shion prefers physical intimacy with an AFAB partner. She's never had two people juxtaposed to be able to figure that out. But Levi notices, quickly, and later confronts her about it in his characteristically brusque fashion (because he doesn't know she hasn't realized this herself). It isn't an easy conversation. Yet the three of them insist on honesty with each other above all else, and because they work to maintain this foundation of trust, they can have these conversations. Which leads to a three-way relationship where each person can freely express wants and meet needs because they love each other, whether those needs are for sex or for the absence of it.
