This includes Mylo's personality, their backstory, and some random facts about them.
Mylo didn’t have a very normal or healthy childhood growing up. They were often pushed around for their heritage and their appearance, and that they never knew their dad. Their mom was a ferocious and sly monster, and a very tall one at that, and did everything she could to protect Mylo since they were a runt. She let her guard down that she typically had due to the soft spot she held for her child. She treated them well and was the only one who was ever there for them through all the rough times and bullying, and got them all the food they needed, even teaching them how to hunt for themself and hunt if needed.
Officials from the area near the plains, woods, and caved area Mylo and their mother lived went to investigate the rumours they had been hearing of a dangerous creature in that vicinity. They barged into the lands and and took the moment of the mother’s guard being lowered to ambush the monster family to take down the threat and kidnap the child. The mother didn’t fight back much in time, because by the time she had realised what was going down, the near 20-foot monster was roped and chained to the ground, and was being viciously attacked by the authorities with electricity and various sharp and painful objects. All Mylo could do was watch as their mother was being gravely injured as they were being taken into custody with electric handcuffs.
The town officials called into the German base known as ‘The Orphanage,’ to inform their German allies of the new discovery in their grasp, willing to ship the offspring of such a powerful monster for their own studies and developments in technology that may be in the making. Mylo was knocked unconscious and shipped overseas to the undercover laboratory, presenting as a perfectly normal orphanage, for running inhumane tests and experiments on ‘orphaned’ monsters and creating their own hybrids and experiments, this facility being the head of the many other branches over the world.
While at the lab, Mylo was always degraded for their heritage just like they usually were and hid due to it, and they were also blamed for every little thing that went wrong, no matter what they did. When they were first admitted to the lab, Mylo acted out in sheer grief, wanting their mother and missing her, remembering all the pain they inflicted upon her. Due to their grief, they often physically lashed out at the lab techs, but were severely punished for their actions. Not only were names and slurs yelled at the monster, but they also got deep lacerations for everytime they lashed out, amounting to eight in total before they corrected their behaviour, the wounds would heal over grey on their black skin. Even after they corrected their behaviour and became more obedient and submissive to the lab techs, they didn’t lessen their degrading names nor their experiment severity, as they didn’t forget what they had done to them.
They were constantly beaten and injected with odd and dangerous mixtures of chemicals and other various ingredients that shouldn’t have been mixed together as they tried to find good mixtures for punishments against the other subjects or ways to get them to submit. To Mylo, most of the mixtures were a dull ache, but when tested on other subjects it elicited loud screaming and writhing.
Often, they were accused of everything that went awry, accused of stealing lives, innocent lives at that, and other things they couldn’t have helped. They were accused of this from their mother killing people and animals to feed her child since they were a runt and couldn’t fend for themself at an early age. Mylo had never meant to do any harm to anyone or to any creature, and had never known they were indirectly causing so much damage for life around them, and internally vowed to not touch food for as long as they could handle.
At the Orphanage, they met a small hybrid of a creature named Newt. Newt was one of the many screwed up experiments created at the laboratory in the Orphanage, but was one of the few successful ones. They seemed extremely skittish around anything and anyone, but Mylo tried to make friends with them regardless, wanting to know more about them and if he could help them out.
The monster and the small canine hybrid quickly became friends in the spare time between tests and torture, and began plotting an escape plan, which went over not-so-smoothly upon its unfolding. Many of the other experiments were killed in the escape, and some were recaptured. Newt and Mylo were some of the few who made it out safely and didn’t get recaptured.
