+ thea's backstory
Many moons ago, one of Sixam National Laboratories' pollination technicians was looking for a suitable Sim to experiment with when they found Theodore Berri; it was a night of full moon, and he was charting the constellations in the sky, looking for one he hadn't found yet.
He didn't feel his body levitate toward the small spacecraft controlled by his abducter, didn't even flinch at all the tests and experiments they put him through all night. In his alien-induced haze, everything felt like a dream, even though he was very much awake.
The morning came, and Theodore woke up in his bed, but it was still made; he scratched his chin, feeling his stuble against his fingertips, thinking about how real his dream had felt - and how tired he must have been to fall asleep without changing his clothes or getting into the bed.
Just then, Theo felt a strange feeling in his stomach - something like a kick? But surely, it couldn't have been... Unless? He knew it was a possibility, how could he not after all the years he spent researching Sixam and its inhabitants?
Time seemed to fly by and sooner rather than later, Theodore Berri held a baby girl in his arms. He knew he could give her back to Sixam, he knew that he probably should, but he didn't have the heart to do so. No, not when his beautiful Althea looked so precious, so normal, as he held her.
And yet, he couldn't keep her for long. When she turned five years old, the same spacecraft appeared in the sky, silent as ever - but this time, it was the little girl who was taken.
In Sixam, the girl was told her father had given her up - that he realised that, after all, it was not right for a human to raise one such as her. Thea refused that - she knew her father would never leave her side, not if he could choose not to. This was an inconvinience - and an easy one to resolve, at that.
The very next day, all of Althea Berri's memories were of Sixam; of being nursed by a figure in a lab coat, of playing with other children her age in a stark white room, of eating only what could be unearthed from Sixam's soil. But those children, despite her age, didn't look like her. For a hybrid, she looked a whole lot more like a human.
On her 18th birthday, Thea was brought to a room, stark white like all the others, at the top floor of the facility where she lived her entire life. Well, where she thought she had lived he entire life.
Her superior told her then that she would be dismissed from Sixam. She had reached maturity, and yet she had never morphed into her alien form. She was a failed experiment, her superior said. She was, for all intents and purposes, a human. The only thing that set her apart from a common human was that she was hauntingly beautiful, unnaturally so, and that her hair was as pure white as the facility's walls and floors. Every inch of her was perfect, like she had been designed and engineered for months, even years, so much so that it gave anyone a headache to lay their eyes upon her for too long. And, for that reason, she was of no use to Sixam.
As quickly as they whisked Thea from the planet that watched her scream to life, they gave her back - alone, with no memories of that place she had been taught to fear.
