Alpheus

baby BOY!!!! paired with Pirouette (maybe siblings? besties? not sure)

living doll species that evolved magically or something; they exoskeletons that feel like porcelain or resin but there's meat in there. dw about it. Alphie is a marionette subspecies and is made of wood; he's got little strings/ropes in his wrists and ankles

some kinda freedom fighter explorers. they're looking for a way out of their world thats fraught with violence between species groups bc they're running out of space. maybe its like an abandoned factory. idk
