Can we get the full backstory of one pair of skeleton siblings? ......How about outerfell?
Ehehehe
So Orion and atlas were born to their mother Pavo (gaster) and father Hydros (gorgon monster). Their parents are childhood sweethearts and very loyal to each other. The boys grew up in a loving family despite the violence raging in their au. There were some cracks under the surface though.
Pavo is a BRILLIANT skeleton and was renowned for her contributions to laser gun technology in outerfell. She retired briefly to raise orion then atlas when she and hydros decided to have children. Her leaving the royal guards research team put her under a lot of scrutiny. To challenge the gossips, she put a lot of pressure on her sons to be successful the same way she was. Orion and atlas were raised with love of course, but also with a very extreme schedule packed full of education and training in every field she could think of.
Thankfully both the boys inherited Pavos brains. Orion went into armor craftsmanship and was getting a lot of recognition for designing elaborate looking and practical guard armor. Atlas went the mathematics route and would help with the calculations the other scientists needed.
Sometime during Orions early adult years and atlas’ teens, the family reputation took a big hit after their father slipped up during a disciplinary meeting for some lower guards. After loosing his cool and dusting the three trouble makers, it came out that he was well into the early stages of LV sickness. The scandal forced hydros into a quiet retirement and Pavos back into the guard. To keep the attention off their father, orion was also brought into the guard. He remained in his position as a full time arms and armor craftsman until the crash while hydros took over the rest of atlas’ education.
After the crash, orion had a huge row with his mother about wanting to quit the royal guard. He actually cut his family off and didn’t speak to them for about five years. It was atlas who got orion and Pavo to speak again through some trickery (and hydros holding them hostage in a room for a few hours). Pavo and Orion have a tentative truce for now. She doesn’t mention him giving up his station to become a tattoo artist as long as he doesn’t get on her case for sticking to outerfells old ways.
For atlas, after the crash he really thrived. He got a position as a teacher and really found a passion for it! He doesn’t hold any love for the culture of his au, but will live in it for his parents sake, then secretly switch up when he visits friends or his brother. Orion gets on atlas’ case a lot for the two faceness of it all, but atlas is too comfortable with his current situation to change it right now.
