#main timeline

Crow the Werehog is a powerful and imposing figure with navy-blue quills and a lighter coloured mane-shaped mass of chest fur. Their stomach, muzzle, palms and soles are a dirty beige, softened by their cheek fluff that contrasts their otherwise sharp appearance. Their build is muscular, with prominent large hands and feet equipped with retractable claws. Their body bears the aftermath of experimentations; their back is lined with deep scarring, supported by visible metallic spinal braces that help to hold their structure together. They have a long wolf-like tail, tipped in the lighter blue shade and shark-like dorsal spines line their back. Crow's quills are flower-shaped, accented by vivid crimson markings that spiral around their eyes, trail down their arms and coat their hands up to their elbows, as well as climb up their legs from their middle toe. Their sides are patterned with grey-tinted stripes and two curtain-like stripes fall from their always open third eye. Their eyes are a piercing emerald green.

Crow has a corrupted transformation with their other form due to the results of their DNA being a mix between the fusion of Dark Gaia and Black Arms. Their navy fur darkens to a near-black shade, their chest mane deepens in tone and the beige accents shift into a haunting greyish purple, extending down their inner thighs and tail underside, but sparing their palms and soles. Their scars are swallowed by new overlapping fur and growth, while the metallic spinal supports rupture open, replaced by clusters of glowing emerald eyes, while their sclera tints to a pastel yellow. Crow's shark-like spines gain a second set beneath the first, their quills becoming jagged and spiked, and the crimson markings deepen and dissolve into gradients of purple scales. Their tail becomes reptilian and ends in a tuft of blue fur. They lose their articles of clothing in this form as the clothes rip into shreds in this shifted physiology.

Normally their outfit consists of a dark red tank top with baggy workout trousers in a deeper tone, red stripes adorn the sides and a belt at the waist adorned with a metallic star-shaped charm. They wear a dark red studded choker as well as fingerless gauntlet-style gloves with studded knuckles and metal cuffs. In addition they wear ankle-high boots in matching red with metallic cuffs and studs on the vamp. To finish off the look studded earrings.

Crow is a mix of hard and soft, brutal-looking on the surface, yet gentle underneath. They are constantly trying to prove themselves, both to the world and to those they love. Despite their intimidating appearance, Crow is kind-hearted and thoughtful, often surprising others with how considerate and protective they are. However they have a short fuse, and when overwhelmed they can snap with little warning.

Crow is known to be extremely food-aggressive. But at their core, they're a giant puppy filled with loyal affection. Their instability and emotional biology makes them an unpredictable being when under stress. This creates self-consciousness, especially about their body, origins and their monstrous traits. Created in the Predator laboratory designed to be a fusion between Dark Gaia and the Black Arms, their body's clock was shattered during the process and in turn leaves them permanently stuck between hedgehog and werehog.

Mun: "So if you have read my 'Meet Mason' comic you can see at the end Mason meets Orchid by chance and takes her in when he realizes that she had gotten hurt protecting his village. He takes her to his home, narrowly getting caught by the village cleric by claming her as his sister. He then is given a chance to see all that she has been threw and save her from the real villain. He then takes the deal to be sent back in time to be there for his 'sister' as she is going through life... again."

Mun: "First spoiler; it's not his body in the past. His soul and memories were sent back in time and placed in a random villager child who had been zombified... so he is in a different body starting at the mental age of 25, so at the current moment in the comic he has the mental state of someone with 45+ years experience in the body of a 25 year old."

Mun: "Why am I telling you this? Well, keep in mind that in the 'Meet Mason' comic, he got to see Orchid's life in a short few memories... he saw what had happened to her and knew what was coming next for her...."

Mun: "The moment Mason takes the deal, is where a new timeline is created; the Main Timeline..."

Mun: "Now there are two timelines moving at the same time; the Main Timeline where the story is taking place in the comic, the one we are following right now, and the Alpha Timeline where Orchid is still alone, and is separate."

Mun: "In the Alpha Timeline, Orchid had lost Smith and Jay in a critical battle and was then alone for a while with the guilt... eventually finding Mason's village. After he accepted the deal, his body remained alive but unmoving, like a vegetative state."

Mun: "Spoiler 2: Alexander returned and used what life force was left in Mason's body to jumpstart Orchid once more, hiding the moment she woke up."

Mun: "This left Orchid more guilty about someone having died for her sake and leaving her more scared to make friends with others... her Main Timeline self, however, didn't lose her closest friends (and lover) to keep her safe... leaving her more friendly with others."

Mun: "To be honest, if I never got the 'ok' by CrescentTrinity on Twitter/X to use Mason in the first place, we would be following the Alpha Timeline as the only Timeline..."
