i'm a late owl, it's ok! he's definitely welcomed to his backpack because now he has a reason to wear one and hide him from his first mate. honestly, we could even combine any of these, i have no problem with that. so i don't think ~aced got to you yet but they will, muhahaha, but they all grew up as like a hard knock life type of gang as teenagers called the belos wolfpack, or wolfpack for short. then they fell away either recruited to the academy, fought in the war, or like sig joined an evil corporation for the money. i'm not sure how young your guy is because he might've been unofficially looked after or acknowledged, but i'll let ~aced work that out with you (they're super friendly, so don't even sweat it). sig's only been on terminus for two years and on the traveler for literally a year if that helps any. any questions or details or whatever, feel free to hit up the ooc or even starlink for lines and inspo!
