[☾ || ♀️ ||✶]

a single light flashes in the darkness. an abandoned recording machine, blinking; '(1) message saved.'

"The child of Invasions, who lurks in the dead space that seperates the King's Orrery from the open nightmare, inhabited only by the ink-stained remnants of science facilities and broken starships. In this cold and glittering void, something stirs. A shadow, a shape, only visible for the silhouette it cuts through the stars."

☽ The Specimen ☾

she/her || mimic || menace

Once manifested from a nightmare borne of adrenaline, lingering in the depths of dreamer's mind after playing a game of aliens and horror; she awoke as a creature of deception and stealth. She is often disguised as the "spacefleet" humans of her realm, who exist only as remnants of some unknown calamity aboard their stations and ships, and torments visitors to her kingdom with this disguise before revealing herself in a flurry of claws and spider legs.

In her true form, she is tactical and intelligent, observing like a hungry panther. In her disguise, a deceptively tiny little spider-shaped nightmare, she is playful and feral, and loves to play tricks on friends and foes alike. When she succeeds at fooling or terrifying her targets, she tends to shriek and cackle with delight before vanishing into the nearest shadow, using her tiny frame to her advantage to scuttle through vents and under gaps.

When she isn't haunting her kingdom, she is an avid adventurer, always trying to get her claws into any bit of action she can find. 

This is how she stumbled upon the remains of the Aetheneum, where she began to hear the voice of Lock, whispering to her among hundreds of other voices. At first curious, later driven to near-madness, she tore the place apart seeking to fulfill the wish of the voices. Eventually, through her desperate efforts and the gift of a powerful ink-stained rifle from her kingdom, her attention and energy awoke the Celestial Pirate King. In awe of the ancient Page, when he offered her a place in his kingdom as repayment for awakening him, she eagerly agreed.

In her collaboration with the Pirate King, granted a measure of his power and knowledge, she sought further power of her own. A desire to weild and protect her own branch. To protect those who she calls "family". To house a family of nightmares that echo her own.

When at last she awoke as the Child of Invasions, her Kingdom, once a single moon— suspended in the illusion of space, in the center of a small bubble of the Nightmare that orbited the Pirate King’s Orrery— flooded outward in a great cosmic tide, swallowing the empty borders of the Orrery like the monster-ridden unknown edges of a pirate’s map.

✶ Sector 8 ✶
Q's kingdom. Before her ascension, the name belonged to a single facility sitting on a tiny pale moon, where the only sounds were the distant howl of alarms echoing through empty the ink-stained halls, and the only signs of life were recorded onto the facility's database, speaking of an endless well of 'ink' beneath the surface. Now, the place which had once been called Sector 8 was a hungry mass of writhing limbs and rolling eyes, silently reaching its grasp out into the expanse of stars.

The true Sector, now, is the region of space where the sparkling rainbow starscape of the Pirate King’s domain fades to a glaring golden static. A region now haunted by hundreds of drifting starships and abandoned facilities, all seemingly once belonging to scientists and explorers whose existence could only be discerned by the data logs they had left behind; nothing more than evidence of an inky invader that had added them to its collective.

A starship graveyard, guarding the King’s realm like a vast, yawning moat.

✶ The Ink. All that is touched by Q’s power bares the stains of the One. Though it is harmless when it manifests on the form of her friends and family, merely signifying that they share a portion of her aether— be it through resurrection or Guardian blessing— it warns of her presence all the same.
