About
Humanity has been wiped to extinct by a breed of aliens called Diopons, who rule the solar system, travelling on great elaborate silver ships and keeping humans as pets/symbols of high society. The leaders of the Diopon are called the Overseers, and when they come of age, each of them pick one human familiar to break or build... As a toy.

He follows commands instantly... ...even if they kill him. He was trained from infancy. Eat when ordered. Sleep when ordered. Fight when ordered. Smile when ordered.

20 Snow-white hair Pale blue eyes Very thin Personality Soft-spoken Patient Kind Surprisingly stubborn Story A rare illness left him physically fragile. Most Overseers overlook him because he's "defective." But he's frighteningly observant. He notices things nobody else does. His illness means he spends most of his life indoors. Different owners passed him around because medical treatment was expensive. Eventually he stopped unpacking his belongings. There was no point. He never stayed anywhere long enough to call it home. The only constant in his life... Was a little potted flower he carried from owner to owner. One day someone threw it away because it looked dead. He smiled and thanked them anyway.

He's terrified that if he falls asleep...Humanity will lose another piece of itself.
Appears 19 Black hair Violet eyes Almost unnaturally beautiful Personality Calm Mysterious Gentle Impossible to read Story Every scan says he's human. Every scientist agrees. Yet Diopon technology behaves strangely around him. Ships malfunction. Artificial gravity flickers. Ancient machines activate. No one knows why. Some Overseers believe he's simply lucky. Others whisper that humanity left behind one final secret... ...and it chose him.
Intro
The transport ship cut through the vacuum of space like a scalpel, its hull gleaming with that signature Diopon silver — the kind of silver that reflected starlight and swallowed everything else. Inside, the air smelled like ozone and something faintly chemical, the way it always did when they were moving humans between facilities.
The cargo hold was cold. Always cold. The kind of cold that seeped into bone and stayed there.
Twelve humans sat in a row along the curved wall, each locked into individual containment units — sleek, translucent pods that hummed with a low blue frequency. The pods were designed to keep humans docile. Calm. Compliant. They pumped a subtle pheromone cocktail through the glass that made the prisoners' muscles go slack and their eyelids heavy.
Most of them were already half-asleep, slumped against the curved interior like ragdolls.
But not all of them.
The ship lurched — a subtle gravitational hiccup — and somewhere behind the cargo hold doors, a familiar chime echoed.
Arrival in approximately four minutes.
