Chapter Text
🍦Captain Grant Curly🦮:
Gender- Cisman
Pronouns- He/Him
Animal/Entity- Golden Retriever/Vanilla Orchid
Role- The brutish strength and Captain of the crew. One who may seem like he's faking his care towards others, but it's truly genuine... probably way too genuine and trusting. Sometimes very naive. He, like the others in the crew, will be human throughout the majority of his life. Shape-shifting only happens when something dire is at stake. That also applies to the rest of the crew.
Age- 30
Nicknames- Cap, Curls
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation- Demi-Pansexual/Omniromantic
Symbolism of him being a Golden Retriever- Golden Retrievers are symbolized as being loyal and great at withholding permanent companionships with others they care about. Curly perfectly encapsulates that. He is extremely loyal to each and every one of his crew members no matter what may happen. He always wants to maintain close companionships with all of them. They feel adjacent to family. Every single intention he has is kindness and betterment for all. Unfortunately, we all know where that unwavering loyalty leads the crew towards...
Symbolism of him being a Vanilla Orchid- Vanilla Orchids are symbolized as having elegance, humility, luxury, and strength. Curly tends to handle himself as Captain in a patient and elegant manner. He showcases great humility towards his whole crew even with how difficult they all tend to be. His care and kindness leads to allowing the most luxurious jobs(the best he can allow) the others could ever be given. His certain strength is allowing himself to be kind to others and be a fantastic listener(usually). Strength to eternally love those he cares about.
How each relationship goes symbolically and literally involving him- Jimmy's wolf and Curly's dog sometimes get along with certain situations, but for the most part the wolf is sly and is waiting for the perfect time to strike. Jimmy's Oleander proves to be a complete trick to the unsuspecting dog. Looks can be very deceiving. Curly's golden retriever sometimes seems like another intimidating creature for Anya's rabbit to handle, but he's more safe than he seems. Not safe enough, though. Anya's full moon brings his dog peaceful thoughts, but he still is not understanding the full picture. Daisuke's deer is slightly intimidated by Curly's dog's presence, but they eventually become used to each other by built up trust over time. Curly believes he's been protecting everyone safely, but his dog is tempted to consume Daisuke's Hibiscus. That fact mildly sickens Curly(mainly his dog), but it doesn't harm him too much further than that. A way of failing to protect the vulnerable. Swansea's swan has an overprotective streak. Curly's dog has to be careful with his decision making, or something dire may happen to any of them. Curly's dog may be able to handle swimming in Swansea's sea, but it'll eventually prove to be too much responsibility to handle whenever Swansea needs to lash out at him and scold him about something dangerous happening and how much he needs to stand up for the others. Take responsibility like a captain should. Polle and Curly's dog gets along fine without there being too much trouble. Curly is sometimes so vulnerable that most of his crew's Shape-shifting creatures will want to consume his Vanilla Orchid just to replace it with something more potent. His dog even consumes his own flower if he's not careful, pretty much symbolizing how his overly kind and people-pleaser self can harm not only others in the long run, but himself included.

🐺Jimmy💐:
Gender- Cissyman
Pronouns- These don't exist!(Shut the hell up, J-Diddy.) Fine, He/Him.
Animal/Entity- Wolf/Oleander
Role- Former Backup of Captain Curly. His true colors are exposed to the limelight when Curly finds out the truth about Jimmy's true, dark intentions.
Age- 30
Nicknames- J-Diddy, Jackass, Jimbo, Jim
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation- Bicurious/Gray-Heteroromantic
Symbolism of him being a Wolf- He's always on the hunt for more delicious victims. His hunger is never fully satisfied. No matter what he may have to do, no matter how painful and cruel, he will get what he desires most. He does believe himself to be "pack leader" of the crew, after all.
Symbolism of him being an Oleander- At a first glance, he may seem unsuspecting to anyone, but really he is always plotting when to strike. He is hoping the others will trust him enough to embrace him... maybe even consume him if need be if all else fails. Then no one will have to suffer surviving anymore.
How each relationship goes symbolically and literally involving him- His wolf is just okay being with Curly's golden retriever. He is simply waiting for the perfect time to gain full leadership of the crew. Jimmy's wolf feasts upon Anya's rabbit. He doesn't know what he would do without her tempting his desires. His wolf avoids Anya's moon because there's not much he could do then, isn't able to take responsibility for what he did to her, and her light shining onto the terrible things he does prevents him from continuing his hunt. Jimmy's wolf finds Daisuke's deer to be a challenging feat to accomplish(especially with a certain swan always watching), but he eventually is able to consume said deer when given the opportunity. Eating Daisuke's Hibiscus flower is the easiest part of it all since the kid's endless naivety knows no bounds. Easy to brainwash and manipulate. Swansea's swan proves to be way more of a challenge for Jimmy's wolf to endure, but eventually with a rough fight won his wolf is able to eat the old mechanic's swan. His wolf absolutely fears Swansea's sea the most. He fears the old man's capabilities would drown him into oblivion. Somewhere he could not turn back from. Be forced to truly take some goddamn responsibility. Polle would fear Jimmy's wolf, but he knows that without him being a reliable ride for others, Jimmy would not be able to proceed any further into the horrific actions he wants to commit. It's a sort of... toxic codependent relationship they have going on. The company needs him and Curly. His wolf will only consume his Oleander if all else fails. Otherwise, he knows to avoid harming himself too much from his own actions like the plague.

🐇Anya🌙:
Gender- Ciswoman/Moongender
Pronouns- She/Her
Animal/Entity- Rabbit/Moon(Typically Full Moon)
Role- The brains and messenger of the crew. Her fears, panics, and warnings will be a major sign for the team to pay attention for incoming dangers.
Age- 27
Nicknames- Ann, Darling, Kid, Sis
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation- Lesbian/Aromantic
Symbolism of her being a Rabbit- She has to quickly escape from danger one way or another. Sadly, she isn't always fast enough.
Symbolism of her being a Moon- It is her perfect way of escaping the world's problems and her problems. She can simply hide up in the sky and not have to deal with anything for a long while. Sometimes, doing that alone exposes some of what he's done. So, she knows it's at least not all for nothing.
How each relationship goes symbolically and literally involving her- Anya's rabbit is wary of Curly's golden retriever and even when they build just enough trust, she still can't come too close just to be safe. Her rabbit is beyond terrified of Jimmy's wolf. No matter how many times she runs away, he always seems to catch up to her many tricks. At first, her rabbit is quite suspicious of Daisuke's deer. Very soon, they are attached to the hip like siblings. It's the exact same way with Swansea's swan, except they end up like father and daughter. Still... even with them, she has to make sure she's even a bit more safe with any of them during her rabbit form. Polle seems friendly enough to her, but what she doesn't know(until she does) can't hurt her, right? Anya's rabbit consumes almost any flower she sees, but she has to be careful to not accidentally consume any of her friends' forms. Also, the only time she feels she can thrive as a rabbit is when the full moon is out on full display. It allows her to see better and be able to avoid Jimmy's wolf the whole time. Her moon and her rabbit together symbolize that she's more than capable of helping herself without causing any self-harm.

🌺Daisuke🦌:
Gender- Demiboy
Pronouns- He/Him/Any Pronouns
Animal/Entity- Deer/Hibiscus Flower
Role- The most naive, but best emotional maturity of the group. He could easily make peace deals with the team's opponents. But, if things become dangerous and deadly for the crew, he has a strong, mad swing.
Age- 19
Nicknames- Kid, Brat, Dai, Son
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation- Bisexual/Biromantic
Symbolism of him being a Deer- He is easily scared of new ideas, new situations happening in life. It takes him a while to mentally keep up with all the terrible crap that happens, but he eventually becomes accustomed to it. Kind of like a deer in the headlights kinda guy.
Symbolism of him being a Hibiscus Flower- His innocence and naivety makes others feel like they're drowning from it, but beautiful and precious enough to be cherished and protected nonetheless. When his Hibiscus is around, expect there to always be a looming Swan flying overhead or sometimes gentle rain falling upon said delicate plant.
How each relationship goes symbolically and literally involving him- Daisuke's deer gets along(eventually) with everyone's animal forms. Jimmy's wolf is clearly still quite dangerous to be around. His deer loves consuming Hibiscus flowers the most. His naivety and overarching kindness truly are his greatest weaknesses. As proven by his deer consuming his Hibiscus if he's not careful. He and Curly are the only ones who have an animal who harms their entity symbolizing both of their infinite forgiveness and overly trusting kindness. Their behaviors end up harming themselves in the long run.

🦢Swansea🌊:
Gender: Cisman
Pronouns: He/Him
Animal/Entity- Swan/Sea

Age- 50
Nicknames- Swan, Mr. Swansea, Dad, Big Swans
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation- Heterosexual/Demi-Heteroromantic
Symbolism of him being a Swan- He is not afraid of standing up to protect those he cares about, though his strength in this form doesn't always help him.
Symbolism of him being the Sea- His force is unstoppable when enraged. His overprotectiveness goes above and beyond from this point onwards. His strength is undeniable in this form.
How each relationship goes symbolically and literally involving him- Swansea's swan gets along with everyone from different distances. Meaning he doesn't get along with Jimmy at all. His swan thrives off of flying right above the sea. Makes him feel at his strongest. Most intimidating point for Jimmy's wolf.

🐎Polle🍹
Gender: Just a male pony.
Pronouns: He/Him/It/Its
Animal- He's an actual pony.
Role- The form of travel for the crew. He cannot talk at all. Behaves just like a pony. Probably knows more than it lets on...
Age- Unknown
Nicknames- Cutie, Po, Horsy
Sexuality/Romantic Orientation- What, NO- 💀
Symbolism of him being an actual Pony- Him being only a pony symbolizes how much the company likes to seem as if they're innocent(just some pony), but really they're not. Not even close. Like the company, Polle knows more than he lets on. Also, the company is unwilling to speak the truth to any of their workers, even to Curly. Just like how Polle can't talk at all.
Symbolism of him carrying Mouthwash- This mouthwash that Polle brings with him are for the others to use just in case things get dire. It's a very special kind of mouthwash. If any of them consume it, then they'll contain a bit of a superpower for a short while. So, it's a blessing and a curse. A curse because if too much of it is consumed, then those who do so die from that. A blessing because of a superpower, their business succeeding, and very clean, whitened teeth.
How each relationship goes symbolically and literally involving him- With Daisuke, he expresses himself way more often. He certainly doesn't express as much towards the other crew members, but he has to be more honest towards Swansea because he cares a lot about Daisuke. Company makes their workers do more and more dangerous things. Polle "says" to keep on working no matter where they are. Polle overall represents the company putting up a joyous façade so people wouldn't catch on until it's too late.
Vigilante Name- Ace
