this is kratamis! given the criminal lack of charub ocs i feel the need to post my child everywhere possible.

just gonna break down a few things about them, like... their name is supposed to be a double pun of "Brat" and "aristoCrat" for the shared name because thats what they are, a pair of royal brats.

they are a lord of breath. lords are a weird class because its one of the few game classes that seem more around to favor or suit the players personality then to actually drag something deeper out. but in that you can get a very fun narrative. the lord is meant to be the game breaker. the big bad monster at the end of the story. the game uses that class to foster the worst elements of someone and make them grow. for kratamis its his lack of empathy, his stunted ability to feel bad about the consequences of his words and actions. he is the wind, he is the blade that cuts effect from cause. he doesn't need to feel bad about doing things because it cannot touch him, nor can it make him move. he cannot be trapped, he cannot be forced to participate. thus it makes him as a charecter have to conciously choose the thing that feels bad to him. he has to choose to listen to people scold him so he can learn to not be a rancid ass little brat of a creature.

pirate imagery is partially due to neverland syndrome (warped idea of pirates being a bunch of bros bobbing along on the ocean doing whatever the fuck they want instead of the most extreme captilists on the fucking ocean)

bad end krat is known as lord crimson, someone that goes whole hog into his fantasy of being the monsterous kaiju of legendary proportion. a ruthless mindless cut-throat brute that sails through the aether of paradox space slicing through anything in a mindless id lead rage against his "big" sister

good end krat rejects his own powers that he belives are so fucking rad because it is opposed to his own ideals of being unstoppable because he is him. he cannot rely on powers to save him from an akward conversation or allow his ability to escape to let him fall into complacency that his actions are always just.

also...pirates are just fucking rad, i mean look at that coat and gun its so fucking cool dude

pester name is CRIMSONFUCKER, based on the alucard abriged series and he

CF: cherubs don't have much of a formal romance system but we do have a word for it, unfortunately the vocal chord's needed to pronounce it only grow when we can wrap around a planet at least once so i think ill call it...Oblidoration.

CF: it's hard to pin down what it feels like, but it feels like finding something lost that you hated, something that you thought you managed to shed away rearing its horrid head, it becomes an all consuming thought that you can't rid yourself off until you decide to devout your entirety to that feeling of deep...

CF: Well its not loathing! its not like you automatically hate them, you just met them, you don't know anything about them, its just a deep fundamental opposition that you feel as though you cannot ignore. for the moment, for two consenting giga space snakes the worlds fall apart and nothing exists except for the other giga space snake opposite them.

CF: i'm doing my best to give this the flowery language that it deserves because i'm sure it really is a beautiful feeling as its the last thing a cherub will ever feel but its hard to describe how it functions because to many it just looks like two massive world eating snakes ripping each other to shreds in a hellfire of cosmic energy and eternally burning hatred.

CF: but i swear!!! there is more to it, like the fight portion is not really a fight but a deeply ingrained dance! that...devolves into fighting when they get close enough. ok im seeing where other species may get confused about all of this, i get it.

YOU NEED HUMANS IN KAIJU MOVIES.

YES, BOLD STATEMENTS AND I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING,

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CORRECT TWENTY FOUR SEVEN? IS IT NOT EXAUSTING?"

YES IT IS BUT I DO IT FOR THE ZILLA CULTURE. ANYWAYS AS I WAS SAYING THE HUMANS ARE NEEDED, DISPITE BEING A BORDERLINE WORTHLESS SPECIES THE HUMAN CHARECTERS SERVE AS PART OF THE PLOT, THEY SERVE IN GIVING GODZILLA THE GRANDIOSE SCALE THAT THEY SO FUCKING DESERVE.

LET US CONSIDER THE ANIMATED SERIES "GODZILLA:EARTH", HOLY SHIT, A PLANET THATS JUST GODZILLA??? THATS FUCKING RAD, AWASOME EVEN! BUT WHAT IS GODZILLA SUPPOSED TO DO THROUGHOUT? ROAR AT HIMSELF?! HUMANS SERVE AS THE TRUE AND ETERNAL OPPOSISTION AND UNEASEY BENEFACTOR. WITHOUT A HUMAN NEARBY, GODZILLA IS NO LONGER A FORCE OF NATURE BUT INSTEAD JUST AN ANIMAL. WITHOUT THE STEADY PROGRESS OF HUMANS, THERE IS NOTHING FOR GODZILLA TO KNOCK DOWN.

SO IF I HEAR YOU GET PISSY ABOUT HUMANS IN GODZILLA MOVIES AGAIN, IM GOING TO FIND YOU AND SINK MY FUCKING FANGS INTO YOUR THROAT, THEN IM GOING TO GO ONTO YOUR ACCOUNTS AND LIKE A BUNCH OF QUESTIONABLE CONTENT TO RUIN YOUR REPUTATIONS.

The cherub life cycle starts as an egg that is slung through the depths of space by the parent. The flight path usually sets them on course towards an inhabited planet where the infant will find someone to attach to. A bit like an earth cuckoo. As they are born, they resemble a small snake sporting a skeletal head bearing both red and lime green marks. After the first meal, they will undergo a long term molt in which they gain either the same body shape as the creature caring for them or if they find themselves alone, they will also form a set of twinned personalities. This causes the cherub to have an altered sleep cycle, in which one personality will stay awake for exactly 8 hours before falling asleep and allowing the next personality to take over. 

At this stage, the cherub can live for centuries to millennia, outliving their host or even host culture.  A cherub will be considered to be completely mature when one personality dominates the other. A process in which one of the cherubs halves slowly loses the ability to stay awake and goes dormant.  The end of the process is marked by the cherubs' markings becoming circles instead of swirls and developing a large feathery wingspan within a year.
