Wayward

"...Fruit!"-Wayward "The Freak Show"

Wayward is an albino bat and a main character from Hymns from the Hypogean. Little is known about Wayward or his life before and even after arriving in the Constant, often telling very little or simply denying or confirming questions asked by other inhabitants of the Hypogean.

Life before the Constant
Very little is known of Wayward's past with only snippets of history being revealed on the rare occasions he speaks-assuming he even knows the correct words.

What little is known is as follows. In the early 1900's Wayward appeared as a Circus animal for the Darwin Brothers Circus Extravaganza; he often served as an unusual spectacle of a species of Bat and was dubbed "The freak of nature cave" and was taught to speak and follow most orders given. Despite these tricks being taught to him, most visitors often gawked at his discolored fur and wings, what made it worse was the words he managed to say only begun with the letters "F, M, O" and "P" limiting his speaking capabilities.

In 1923 the Darwin Brother's Circus, several visitors, animals and its performers were deemed missing. Black puddles, large sums of money and hints of foul-play were the only thing that showed a resemblance of what could have possibly caused the sudden disappearance.

In 1924 a small cage meant for animals that used to belong to the Circus had been found in a submerged trailer. Inside were pages with scribbled out words and a vial of blood belonging to a juvenile Chiroptera.

Life during the constant
It is unknown when or how Wayward went down into the Hypogean as he often refuses to speak.

The following is known from the rare occasions were he has spoken about his life. He had originally stayed close towards his Circus and its followers during his initial days into the constant.

What happened them, how or why he branched off is unclear. He also refuses to say how he managed to find the Hypogean.

Some short time after finding the Hypogean, Wayward had been surviving along with Batalisk's before being found by a "Pied-piper" and subsequently staying with said Pied-piper. The only reason he gives for staying with them is "Friend parallel of me." Along with a the Pied-piper he also encountered a pessimistic spirit.

Trivia
-Wayward is an albino Giant golden-crowned flying fox. He is also overgrown/suffers from a condition similar to gigantism.

-Should Wayward be playable his perks would be the following.
 * Looks like a Batalisk (allies with Batalisk, passive mobs will attack, can fly over very small gaps for a small period of time)
 * Photosensitive (-8 sanity per minute loss near light)
 * Loves fruit and small meat, hates bigger meals, (fruit and morsels will be more full-filling while crockpot and normal meat will be slightly hindered.)
