Intro: Pip / Male / Mid Teens

Palette: Short dark hair, which has been haphazardly cut with a dull makeshift blade. Though in his mid teens, Pip could easily pass for a younger child do to malnutrition. His skin is tanned, though whether it be sun-kissed or from dirt, he wouldn't be able to tell you. Always wears some kind of hat, however he always winds up losing it.

Backstory: Like most orphans in Bunker Town, Pip was sent to Uncle Mort's place. The supposed saviour of those unfortunate enough to be left alone at an early age. After all, with resources being so scarce, and the very future of the planet hanging in the balance, nobody else would bother with them. Of course, it was no secret that Mort worked the children under his care like dogs. Sending them out into the inferno of the Wastelands, day in and day out, to salvage anything of value. And those that came back empty-handed, didn't eat. For Pip however, this is how life had always been. Some of his earliest memories are of Mort teaching him which electronic or car parts were worth more over others. Or being encouraged to craw under or into tight places, where adults can't reach. Everything changed though, the day the tunnel-hatch was found. Pip and his oldest friend, Luca, had gotten into a heated argument, over whether or not they should try to escape Uncle Mort's tyranny. One thing lead to another, and both boys wound up brawling. Luca had Pip pinned and was about to let him have it, when suddenly the trash pile they were fighting on gave way. In a chaotic blur, both boys fell into the concave cavern, other nearby children calling out their names. What they found down there was like nothing they have ever seen. The beginnings of a long metal tunnel with a large hatch door. It looked brand new, no rust anywhere. Whats more, they were able to open it. Now the small rag-tag team of boys venture forth into the tunnel, with unknown consequences.

Abilities: While not psychically strong, Pip is agile and quick witted. He also holds a vast knowledge of mechanical and electronic equipment.

Personality: Observant, curious, loyal, can be hot-headed.

Other: What the boys find deep down in the maze of tunnels will change their world as they know it.

About Jelal Eggs

Jelal eggs are encased in feathers of various shades red, blue, and yellow. The egg is fluffy on one side but a bit rough on the other half. Jelal eggs also project an undetectable sonic field which has a tendency to lull nearby creatures to sleep (humans are immune).

Jelal eggs are known to be reliable weather forecasters because they change colors according to oncoming precipitation. So if you see a bright red Jelal egg... take cover!

About the Jelal Creature

Newly-hatched Jelals hurriedly search for the tallest nearby tree or building. Jelals like to live from a high vantage point, not only for basic protection from ground creatures, but to survey the whole land so they can easily identify potential sources of food.

In terms of character, Jelal birds are bashful creatures. In order to capture the heart of a Jelal, you must have a lot of patience. To build this relationship of trust with your creature, you should give it a small gift each day. Initially, newborn Jelals may not accept these token gifts. But over time, if you're consistent, they'll learn to love you.

Lastly, Jelals are the most accurate mimics in Ark.
