Canary Apus

Growing up they lived in a small homely village. Mostly filled with avians like themself but there was a small human family. In this village he stayed in the orphanage there as he lost his parents early on. Growing up in this orphanage caused them to be familiar with the others there and so when they were older (around 16-17) they started putting on dramatic shows for the children of the orphanage.

Around the age of 17 they were met with a job opportunity surrounding his singing. He would put on shows for anyone who came to see at the cost of being able to control what he sang about. His boss was demanding and often controlled what they wore, what the sang, and what they did during these performances going as far as dying his wings to match other avians. As time passed they slowly started to disdain singing and the lack of control he had. Despite this he had no choice, most people they spoke to only saw them as dramatic and a liar.

Unfortunately one side effect of people's distrust was when they spotted a large hoard of zombies heading for the village. They tried to warn their boss and the people in the orphanage but most assumed it was another dramatic tale, and his boss assumed it was an excuse to get out of shows. Canary knew that staying would end in their death, and so used this chance to fake his death by plucking out some of his feathers and ripping his clothes. They left the feathers and clothes in an obvious place so someone would find it and then he changed his outfit and fled to the nether. No other avian would likely head there.

In the nether Canary didn't wander much as his lungs were more sensitive and the heat was messing with his mobility. Although they did learn how to make potions that would help them survive longer. He started to lose track of time and become more exhausted with each day, and having no one would speak to wasn't helping either as their voice was becoming hoarse and weaker with time. He almost died there if someone hadn't helped him leave.
