audio: Picnic Rose - Sno day OST (rest in peace, Austin..) yes i posted this because i was proud of it did the name thing on canva the bio is still going to be adjusted sometimes lol { Introduction } Name: Caelum Townsend He/Him Gender: Male Age: In his mid 20s-30s Species: Pigeon Job: Former Courier and City Times Newsman Maybe looking for employment in the hospital ehh Aro-ace (He prioritizes work (and his button collection) more than love, because he thinks it's going to disrupt his career.) ────୨ৎ──── { Things that he likes ദ്ദി ˉ꒳ˉ )✧ } - Buttons. For some reason.. he has an almost-seemingly obsessive relationship with buttons. he has a whole collection of them that he stole from multiple tailoring shops, clothing, bags, whatever has it. he sometimes even buys clothes for the buttons itself! - COFFEE. (especially the leftover grounds. he likes to peck at them after finishing a cup of turkish coffee.) He likes a cup of double espresso, since all those flaps cost a lot of energy on his shifts. Hospital coffee sounds a bit... bland to him, so he wouldn't regularly ask unless he needs to. (Caffeine is actually poisonous for pigeons like him, but they are anthropomorphic low-poly animals okay. you or I don't have to overthink accuracy.) - Nuts He likes the taste of corn kernels and almonds! they taste a bit similar to bread, but bread is just simple for his appetite. whatever you do, don't give him millets. ────୨ৎ──── ☆ Traits - Resilient Despite being fired, he is finding some ways to adapt to his new situation or finding a new job someplace in the hospital. - Observant after years of delivering news, reading addresses and locating them in person, it sharpened his eyes for small details. - Highly Intelligent Yes, pigeons are very intelligent especially at cognitive abilities and navigation. (suits him) - Loyal He always tries (and sometimes ends up being) the person that his colleagues and friends deeply trust. Parcels are fragile, so is trust. ────୨ৎ──── ✦ Flaws - Pessimist Betrayal left him less confident about his actions and outcomes. Since Animal Corp is a really big company in this city, he expects the worst that comes out of what he does. ────୨ৎ──── { Theory about the Infection } (some spots in his lore may need context from this.) The Hospital was a normal hospital at one point, but then it was close to being bankrupt, (since the hospital doesn't have that much technology, and the salary is kind of low.) So the Hospital and Animal Corp agreed to make a virus so the hospital may have more patients and regain their money. So they started making the virus, but the DNA formula in it was unstable, and the scientists.. aren't really sciencing. so every few shifts, Doctor Harlow brings in more stuff to adjust the virus, since the formula is unstable. The Hollow-eyed patients that are infected by the virus is almost safe, since after being cured, they can either become hostile or become a normal patient again. That means they are really close to perfecting the formula. His briefcase that says: "TOP SECRET" is actually the files, documents, records and plans for the virus project. No one must now about the creation and reason of the virus except him and the managers of animal corp. The virus is the reason why Dr Harlow says this: "If things get strange, just keep working" { Caelum's Lore } He is one of Liz's good colleagues and secretly published her works without the Animal Corp knowing because he claimed he had some 'friends' in the printing press and editing section of the station that he could ask to publish her works. When they were finally done editing and printing, they tattled on him while he was gone delivering newspapers and told the manager of the news headquarters what had happened. The next few days right after, he got told off by the manager and was directly fired for "unverified sources and outdated info" even though Liz DIRECTLY got it from taking pictures of the infected patients stages, and releasing the papers a few days later after it was taken. ────୨ৎ──── Continuing in Notes and Credits
{ Hospital Interactions. } starting from shift 1 all the way to shift 8-10, he will deliver newspapers at the start of every shift before a patient comes in. It may either be some irrelevant/useless topics or the project. newspapers and the City Times News Program (which we can see decals of in-game) he can come to the hospital and be treated like a normal patient. He could have a minor wing injury. about the news update, the "ultimate cure" thing is actually a cover for the conspiracy that the hospital and animal corp is taking part in.
