Antonyia “Tony” Alcatraus

Intersex (no preference for identity, he does not mind being seen as a drone, queen, or somewhere in between)

Originally thought to be a queen, Tony’s egg was preserved within one of the egg-harbouring facilities and isolated until hatching, where the supervisors realized their initial assumption about him was incorrect—he did not have enough male DNA to be a drone, nor did he have enough female DNA to be a queen. Intersexism had only been seen a handful of times before within the egg-handling facilities, but this time there were two offered options going forward: execution, or testing to see if he had anything intellectually to offer for the farms.

Around the age of 13 (human years), he was assigned to testing to have his mental and physical skills evaluated, and showed a significant understanding for mathematics and logic. He was trained in the highest of mathematics for five or so years until he landed his first job as the interning accountant for Rupture Farms, where he stayed until it was burned down.

Going through a rough transition period and I miss this fandom so hi

How'd you get your job at RF?

It's a bit of a loaded story. Basically, after the caretakers (as I call them, because they're the individuals who handle Queen Sam's eggs) discovered I was not a drone nor was I entirely a queen, I was faced with two options: euthinization, assuming I had nothing to offer, or testing to see where I could fit in to RF. The caretakers decided to put me in to testing in hopes my anatomy would mature into itself and decide wether I was a Drone or Queen. So, while all my Mudokon brothers were in training to work their select spots the factories, I was put into observation and classes at Vykkers Labs to see if I was intelligent enough to be kept alive and beneficial. It turned out I was extrodinarily proficient in arithmetic and communications, so I was shipped back to RF and put into training to be an accountant. That's where I stayed until it burned down.

Have u ever tried brew?

I was intentionally advised to stay as far away from it as I can by everyone around me, including my employers.

[tony-alcatraus-rf]

I'm sick of these bots :'|

[tony-alcatraus-rf]

Yes, I head canon him to have red hair. Yes, I head canon him to have vitiligo. So?

[tony-alcatraus-rf]

Am I the only one that headcanons Mudos would go into a Great Depression type recession after the fall of Rupture Farms? Because theres no way that didn't cause SOME economic collapse. The most influential company in all of ODDWORLD, which by proxy makes it a guaranteed stock holder, collapsed. The economy can't just ignore that.

Tony, are you able to reproduce? Would you fall into the category of a Drone or a Queen? Can you create offspring?

As of right now, I'm medically sterile, because I am able to carry offspring, but they do not carry to term due to the Drone chromosones I carry, which furthermore creates a health risk for me because that means I'm technically not supposed to be doing it, my body just has/had the ability to. Drones are speculated to be inherently asexual because of there being a lack of females to reproduce with and just not having the equipment/knowledge to reproduce in the first place. However, Ive heard its not the same story for wild Drones who have never been exposed to the indoctrination of the factories and had natural access to reproduction. I've seen humongous wild Mudokon families.

It's difficult to illustrate over a paragraph. In recent years, my Drone chromosones seem to be more prominent and dominant over my female chromosones, but I was assigned female at birth before being discovered as intersex.

If I have to personally catagorize myself in a black-and-white narrative, I catagorize myself as a Drone, but according to the government, Im a Queen. But I really like considering myself somewhere in between. It's fun to watch people try to put the pieces of it together and figure out what I am.

Holy. SHIT.

This is a must read!!! So fucking good, oh my gosh. I'm completely awestruck.

[tony-alcatraus-rf]

So what will you do now that you're freed? Any long term plans?

No clue. As I said in a previous ask, if we are able to find a permanent place of residency, and I have the materials to do so, I might start teaching. It'd be unfair for me to withhold all this knowledge I have from people who can benefit from it. :)

If I can't contribute to my culture, I can contribute to the knowledge we have going further as we renew ourselves.

Are you having trouble fitting in and making friends with your fellow muds? Do any of them resent you for how you were treated better?

I wouldn't say thaaaatt...

Here's the problem: there is a whole culture surrounding my race, a culture I was never exposed or accustomed to. There are native rituals, stories, songs, paintings, and I never knew any of it existed until I met some native Muds when I was first rescued and exposed to the less industrial side of Mudos. Even now, I don't understand it. I understand it's part of our history, I understand it makes us who we are, but I don't know how to get in touch with it. It feels like I'm too far gone to be able to. Hell, I didn't even know Mudokon history existed, nor did I know it had been wiped from us generations ago.

As far as resentment from other Muds goes...abso-fuckin-lutely. They despise me. If they could put my head on a stick, they would. I'm no better than a Glukkon to them.

While Abe annoys me, he's been the most understanding out of any other person I've met to this point. I haven't had too many conversations with the other fellas Abe travels with, but they seem at least the slightest bit civil to me. Or maybe they just don't know who I am, so they aren't able to form an opinion on me.

How is your life as a freed Mud?

You think will teach math at the next generations of Mudokons?

It's...different. Up until this point, I never had to fend for my live, learn how to fit in, or work from the ground up to get what I want (food, shelter, et cetera).

If a school is opened, or at least a confined, distraction free area that happens to have all the supplies I would need to teach, I would consider it. I might even do it for free.
