May 4, 20XX.
From:Dr. XXXXXXX.
To: Fukurai Raitori, Haruaki sun-sun, XXXXX and XXXXX
The following report is a medical report and is also a follow-up guide for the potential vessel, so weekly physical and mental test data should be added, as well as important events after the child's entry into the orphanage (all relevant actions by the child should be collected with a date), the report will be sent to Haruaki sun-sun, for analysis of the child's potential and it will also be shared with the other caregivers of the children.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Child's data.
(name, surname,gender, age, birth date, health data, physical appearance, quirk, behavioral notes and date of entry to the "Sunny" orphanage).
Name: Fumikage Tokoyami XXXXX
Gender at birth: Male.
Age: 6 months old.
Birth date: October 30, 20XX.
Health: Tokoyami weighed 3 kilos and was 50 centimeters tall when he was born, at the time of write this, he weighs 8.03 kilos and is 1.9 centimeters tall, he didn't show any kind of health issue, the child also received most of his post-birth vaccines, but will need follow-up vaccinations.
Physical appearance (possible mutations data): Tokoyami has slightly dark skin, crimson eyes, and displays heteromorphic features, the most obvious trait being his head which is physically identical to that of a bird, presumably a corvid, due to the structure of his beak and the dark hue of his feathers, which have not yet fully developed. It also shows a mutation in its collarbones, shoulders, and upper back muscles, mutations that seem to indicate the formation of wings.
However, this development appears to have been interrupted during pregnancy, as these muscles and bones are abnormally small for a heteromorph of its age, and the formation of the bones does not completely penetrate the skin, which may or may not continue to develop.
Other heteromorphic features observed through medical studies and tests were: the presence of a syrinx in the tracheal area (in addition to the accommodation of the larynx, lungs and throat seem to have adapted to the new physical composition), hollow bones (a physical mutation in order to improve the aerodynamics of the body to allow the possibility of flight), larger intestines, an accelerated metabolism and enzyme production, as well as a pH of 2 in stomach acid, and a much more efficient detoxifying system than that of an average human being and a stronger jaw.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quirk: Sentient Shadow (This section will need expansion in the future, due to the complexity of the quirk, tests will have to be done).
Sentient Shadow is an emitter type quirk with many details and characteristics, Sentient Shadow is a tangible being composed of "shadows" or "dark matter", it can become intangible if it wishes, however, it needs to remain in a dark environment, with minimal light so that it can manifest itself precisely, in case of being in a place with medium to high lighting (artificial or natural), Sentient Shadow will show signs of pain and stress, and will begin to decrease in size until it disappears. Sentient Shadow is linked to Tokoyami by what appears to be an umbilical cord composed of the same shadows, this cord can manifest itself on Tokoyami's back or abdomen, when the environment is very bright, Sentient Shadow hides inside Tokoyami (through what appears to be a pocket reality that only Sentient Shadow can enter, within that reality, Sentient Shadow accumulates and recharges "shadows" or "dark matter"), Sentient Shadow seems to have different desires and thoughts than Tokoyami, however, if Tokoyami begins to despair or get frustrated, Sentient Shadow takes on a slightly larger form and also becomes more aggressive, seems to maintain a symbiotic relationship with Tokoyami, they maintain a bond similar to that of siblings (or in this case, conjoined twins). Sentient Shadow's behavior also depends on the amount of light in the environment, if there is little light it will be very active and noisy, if there is a lot of light, its mood becomes slow and calm. Sentient Shadow does not need food, and shows no signs of having internal organs. On the other hand, it is believed that Sentient Shadow can take any form it wants, but it always appears as a snake with claws (wings?) and a bird's head, and is always attached to Tokoyami by the abdomen or back. (Sentient Shadow doesn't have a gender, apparently)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behavioral data (Since Tokoyami is really young, the following section will need to be expanded).
Tokoyami displays a calm and observant behavior, shows a natural curiosity about the objects and people around him, cries only when he feels overwhelmed or shows physical needs (hunger, sleep, etc.), on the other hand, he refuses to be fed with baby formula, (due to his heteromorphic characteristics, his psyche is transformed into wild behavior when he is not calm, his mutated syrinx and lungs are very helpful when showing need, due to his terrifying squawks and screeches), as he rejects milk, he is fed raw meat, previously chewed.
Regarding his other avian behaviors, Tokoyami chirps and coos when he feels safe, he also shows discomfort, due to his teeth starting to grow (something very strange and bizarre, if you ask me, since birds were never known to have teeth).
He seems to enjoy being rocked, and spends much of his time with Sentient Shadow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes.
This is the end of the file, I trust in Raitori-san to continue with the expansion of Tokoyami's archive, and I also rely on Haruaki-san, XXXXX and XXXXX so we can help raise potential vessels for AFO (or at least raise worthy nomus), Raitori-san, keep an eye on Tokoyami.
Goodbye.
Chapter Text
The sound of the kettle chiming to boil was what finally woke Raitori up, as she pulled the kettle off the stove, rubbing her eyes as she let her gaze wander around the room. The spacious kitchen was painted a pleasant grey, the utensils were neatly arranged on their respective shelves, the oven was clean and there weren’t any dirty dishes in the sink.
As Raitori poured the boiling water into a cup, she made a mental note to thank Zeni-san for cleaning the kitchen (the day before, they had had some sort of cooking class with the older children and as a result, the kitchen had been left a mess, a mess which Zeni-san had cleaned up without comment). A screech brought her out of her thoughts, breaking the peace of the night, causing her to suddenly turn around, spilling a few drops of hot water on her fingers, cursing internally, she looked up at the source of the sound, not even the slightest bit surprised when she set her gaze on Fumikage Tokoyami, the heteromorphic baby that had been placed in her care and also the brat that had woken her up with his crying and had made her get up even when it was too early in the morning.
She had already checked to see if he needed a diaper change, or if he was crying and writhing because he was cold, however, it seemed that neither of the previous possibilities were the case, so she had decided that maybe he was hungry and had started to defrost the raw meat they had in the refrigerator (since it was the only thing Fumikage seemed to be able to eat). He had already stopped crying, however, now he was shifting uncomfortably and kicking the air in the baby highchair she had placed him in.
His feathers were ruffled and his large crimson eyes were swollen, tears staining the feathers around his eyes. Raitori was never one for babies, however, Fumikage looked completely miserable, with a sigh, she placed the cup on the kitchen table (far enough away from the chick that he wouldn’t think of sticking his hand in the cup), took the raw ground beef she had defrosted in the microwave and placed it on a plastic plate, then washed her hands and pulled out a pair of plastic gloves and a rag. Afterwards, she pulled a chair and pulled it up to the table, finally sitting, sighting with exhaustion and sleep.Fumikage had been watching her movements, sniffing at the snot caused by his crying, at least Raitori could take comfort in the fact that the light in the kitchen was strong enough to prevent Sentient Shadow from making an appearance.
Raitori took the rag and held Fumikage's head by the cheek so she could wipe his nostrils. Fumikage groaned and squirmed as she grabbed the back of his head in an attempt to get him to stay still. When Raitori finished cleaning his face, she threw the rag into the sink, in order to wash it later.
Raitori put on her gloves and dug her hand into the raw meat, the smell of the rusty blood making her slightly dizzy, she took a small piece of meat (small and soft enough for Fumikage to swallow) and crumbled it between her fingers, when she deemed the meat was soft enough, she brought her fingers closer to Fumikage's beak. Even though the chick had arrived the day before, Raitori and Haruaki-san had meticulously reviewed the Dr.'s notes on Fumikage, paying special care to his diet, which consisted merely of the consumption of raw meat, however, that was not the only condition; they also had to feed it by placing the meat (soft enough) in his throat, something that not all the other caretakers dared to do.Ushitsu-chan (the intern) had had the courage to try, but unfortunately, Fumikage had been intimidated and bitten her, later, Zeni-san tried it too which resulted in some sort of success, however, considering that Raitori was the one in charge of Fumikage, she had to learn how to feed him as soon as possible, however she couldn't help but wish that there was an easier way to feed him.
Now that the meat was within reach of his mouth, Fumikage just watched it, even when Raitori tried to bring her hand closer, he pulled away, completely uninterested.
Raitori felt her frustration rising, she violently pulled off his gloves, depositing them in the small trash can next to the oven, then put the meat away in the refrigerator, resisting the urge to slam the refrigerator door shut.
Finally, she returned to grab Fumikage from his highchair to try and get him to sleep, but when she turned around, she was met with the sight of the chick putting a hand in his mouth, and then she remembered: Teeth, Fumikage was teething, (or so the Dr.'s report said). She grabbed another pair of plastic gloves, putting them on, praying that it really was his teeth that was the reason for his lack of sleep and general discomfort.
She opened the freezer door, this time taking out a couple of ice cubes, placing them in a bowl of water, Fumikage was still too busy chewing on his fingers, completely oblivious to his caretaker's new idea. Finally, Raitori dipped her gloved hand into the ice water, carefully removing Fumikage's small hand, offering him her hand with the now cold glove, to which the chick pouted, however he didn't hesitate much to put a finger in his mouth trying to relieve the pain in his gums.
His reaction was immediate, his teary eyes widened in surprise, trying to take Raitori's hand with his chubby little fingers, chewing on the cold glove, truth be told it hurt a little but Raitori was more than relieved to have finally found a solution to the problem, or at least a temporary solution, the chick's beak wasn't sharp enough to pierce the glove, however, it would be best to ask Ushitsu-chan to bring a chew toy to help ease the discomfort. As she sent a quick text to the student (apologizing for disturbing her when it was already 2am), she let Fumikage nibble on her glove, the baby was now completely relaxed, squeaking softly, almost as if he hadn't been crying his eyes out for the past hour, however, the tiredness was starting to become evident in his little body, the way he leaned his head back against the back of the highchair, closing his eyes more and more often, until finally, he fell asleep, beak slightly open. Exhausted, Raitori removed her hand from his mouth, also noticing the effects of lack of sleep, she took off her gloves and threw them in the trash, picking Fumikage up from the highchair carefully, picking him up and rocking him, not wanting to disturb his sleep. Finally, she turned off the lights in the kitchen, carrying the chick to the room where his crib was. She carefully opened the door, making her way to the small crib. It was a small room, designated as "the nursery" (the orphanage had never taken in babies, as AFO and the Dr were looking for children older than 4 or older), painted sky blue, a green rug adorned the center of the room and a couple of unused cribs sat beside Fumikage's crib. In the darkness of the night, Raitori carefully placed Fumikage down onto his crib bed, Sentient shadow having appeared, watching Raitori from the dark. Silently closing the door, Raitori made her way to the next room (her room), while yawning halfway, hoping to have enough energy to get up in a couple of hours.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Raitori woke up (a few hours later) and walked to the kitchen to make herself breakfast and a cup of coffee, she was met with 2 different things: 1, the cup of water she had boiled the night before (which she had boiled to make coffee, but due to Tokoyami's teeth situation, had been forgotten on the table)2, the dirty rag she had used to clean Fumikage's snotty nose, and 3, Ushitsu-chan, the university intern, who had arrived an hour early, and was currently eating breakfast, her kind smile on her face, even though it was way too early (blessed youth).
-Hello Raitori-san!! You look tired, did you not sleep well?-she asked curiously, blinking obliviously, true to her bubbly and social personality.
-You have no idea -.
Notes:
Good morning, evening or night:
This is the first chapter of his fanfic (I consider the first part I posted a prologue).
I'm also making this note to do some introducing to the Original characters mentioned:
Fukurai Raitori (you could say she's the main character, asides from Tokoyami and Dark Shadow)
She's a 46 year old woman who's working on AFO's orphanage as a caretaker, she is patient, serious, somewhat grumpy and blunt, which can be seen as rude.
She used to be a general doctor, who met Dr.Garaki
and shared his ideals, she's has been working on the orphanage for 12 years, she has seen kids enter the orphanage and exit the orphanage (she has also seen kids get turned into prototype Nomus). She supports AFO fully (for now).
She is in charge of the girls of the orphanage (Tokoyami is the first boy {and baby}that she has had to take care of).
Amashi Ushitsu- A 23 years old college girl (currently studying to become a primary teacher).
She's sweet, kind and enthusiastic, she's an intern at the orphanage, she loves teaching, and the kids adore her. She has no idea that she's working on a vessel/Nomu factory, she also hasn't met AFO or Dr. Garaki (though, all the workers know of the Dr, but he uses a fake name {not Garaki}).
She has a daughter/mother relationship with Raitori (who takes care of her and gives her advice).
She doesn't stays at the orphanage at night.
Taikyō Zeni- A 30 years old man, he works in the orphanage as the janitor and the cook (his quirk is useful).
He's a nervous person, and genuinely cares for the children.
He was hired by the government to work at the orphanage (naturally, he doesn't know about AFO, Dr Garaki, Nomus,etc).
He's friends with Raitori.And that's almost all of the original characters (only one is missing, but he will be explored in the next chapter), I have to point out that the government thinks that the orphanage is a completely normal orphanage, that's the way that Zeni was hired.
I maybe give a further take on the physical appearance of the original characters
(Comments on my writing, the history or grammar are welcome, happy New Year by the way).Indie_sheep.
