"Come on, a little adventure never hurts!"

Avio is a risk-loving scavenger working alongside Hiro and Medusoid to gather scrap. As of right now, he lives in Madouk's bunker on Ataraxia. As the last living Crevolan, he’s surely an interesting one - a member of a species once known for their majestic wings, and a culture built almost entirely around flight itself... So it’s rather ironic that Avio’s wings are undersized - leaving him grounded, unable to soar like the rest of his kind.

He’s painfully aware of his predicament, and it weighs on him. He struggles with self-worth, and often feels like dead weight due to his wings. He's desperate to prove he can contribute well, so he compensates with persistence, recklessness, and a “fake it till you make it” attitude that often gets him - and his crew - into trouble. He talks too much, thinks too little, and charges ahead without a plan, but his intentions are always good despite this.

Personality

Avio is someone who struggles to even sit still. Stupidly brave, impulsive, and always looking for an opportunity to do more. He’s confident to a fault, often leaping into danger before anyone can stop him. He does have a certain cleverness that makes him always feel two steps ahead, even if it's more of an implusive nature that always somehow works out for him... The universe favors the idiots, I guess.

Mischief is something that, most of the time, is just too hard for him to say no to. He loves testing boundaries, and the more he gets away with, the more he’s encouraged to press on. He may poke at things even when it’s obviously a bad idea, yet somehow he’s still here today, alive and well… though, the consequences of his poking and prodding are definitely visible, considering the amount of random scars on him.

He’s very protective and caring toward those he loves, even if his way of showing it can be overwhelming - He nudges people out of their comfort zones with the best intentions, believing that a little discomfort will help them grow, though he often pushes too hard without realizing and comes off very bothersome as a result.

Appearance

Avio is a fairly fit Crevolan - leaner and more muscular than most. That’s mostly thanks to his constant restlessness. Seriously, this guy does not know how to sit still. He’s always running all over the place.

Physically, Avio is a quadrupedal, feathered creature, reminiscent of a canid. His body is covered in feathers of varying lengths, with the most prominent being the bright orange feathers on his head, ankles, and tail tip. His eyes are notably pure white, as Crevolans possess compound eyes - similar to those of arthropods - while also lacking pseudopupils, giving them a pretty unique look. As mentioned before, Avio’s wings are undersized, seemingly due to some kind of birth defect that halted their growth his beyond early childhood.

Backstory

From a young age, Avio roamed the galaxy alongside his mom, Kalon. He was raised into scavenging, and he learned nearly every trick of the trade. She taught him how to hunt for valuable artifacts, and how to evade nearly any kind of danger with skill. Her guidance made up for what his wings lacked, and together, they were unstoppable.

...But with time, things began to change for the worse.

Kalon began to act in strange ways with Avio's teenage years. It started with episodes of confusion, paranoia, and sentences that didn't quite make sense. Over time, those episodes grew more frequent, more intense, until the mother Avio knew seemed to slip away entirely. Then, on one fateful day, she disappeared while he was asleep. No explanation, no trail to follow… just gone.

With nowhere else to turn, Avio did the only thing he knew how to do - he kept moving forward. He picked up where she left off, chasing adventure, searching for lost relics, all with the skills she taught him. If there was one way to honor her, it was to carry on her legacy, with hopes that maybe he could find her somehow along the way.
