Trash Panda

Trash Panda is a player character played by Charmaylarg.

Fun fact: Trash Panda is one of only two raccoons in the setting! The other is Haru Asakura.

Trash Panda, Also known as “Racc” to his friends, stands as possibly the tallest living raccoon at a staggering 27 inches tall. Like most raccoons he sports a gray coat of fur with black and white markings. On a broad head Trash has a pointy nose, and rounded ears. A mask-like black stripe of black fur crosses across his eyes above a sharp snout, and a bushy, ringed tail,

His body is fat and stout with short legs, flat feet, and long crooked and sharp fingers.

Being an unfinished uplifted subject, Trash never received a proper line of vocal cords to develop higher speech. Because of this he has a cybernetic voice-box installed in his throat. It is visible as a small black dot the size of a coin on his larynx, but is usually covered by his fur giving him the appearance of speaking without moving his mouth or lips.

The voice makes him sound rather ( professional)

Trash is a kind soul. He is eccentric, enthusiastic and cheerful, even in the face of danger. He enjoys fresh, unpolluted air and long stints in the great outdoors and eating.

He is quite caring and logical, though Trash often otherwise appears absent minded or naive.

Trash Panda was born in YE 22.

“Trash Panda” as he has aptly named himself was born much the same of any raccoon. He had a mother, 4 brothers and sisters, and spent the first year of his life living in the hollowed out crook of a tree and surviving off trash, litter, and various wild plants.

At the young and rebellious age of a year and a half he was cruelly tricked into a wild animal trap while attempting to retrieve some of his favorite snack, peanut butter, and carted off into a lab. Far from his crook in a tree at a park on the outskirts of Roger Wilco.

He was used in a series of experiments. Testing his will in a routine set of exams and tests ranging from how small of a hole he could fit through to how well he could pull a floating grape from a small tube too thin to fit his snout in.

For months he was given injections and retrained in strange machines and given strange surgeries. After every set he performed better and better at problem solving and general testing while he was slowly uplifted in the lab, his brain developing a great deal of sapience and sentience making him, over the course of a year, the smartest raccoon around.

After years of tests and operations, the ample “Trash” was able to understand speech and could perform moderate problem solving such as identifying colors and pushing cards with letters on them to form certain words such as “grape” or “peanut”. He had developed into the mental capacity of a young child and had shown the capability for even greater growth as time went on…

But it never came. In YE 25, three years after his birth. Trash was put down and discarded. His uplifting was never quite completed, the lab had proved their method worked and was ready to move onto new testing, with new test subjects. Trash woke up days later in a dumpster, tied in a plastic bag he had to chew his way out of. The dosage had been wrong, perhaps on the mark for a normal raccoon with an unaltered set of organs with a heart that could pump faster and kidneys that could filter greater than any raccoon.

Trash wandered and lived the life of a varmint once more but with greater success. He could perceive better and understand his surroundings like never before as his brain continued to develop. Sweet old ladies found him harmless and cute and eager to be fed, and it was impossible to get caught stealing food from businesses if you didn't linger and knew how to push open a door.

Trash however was one day observed and followed by strange beings more metal than even the residents of the city. A group of spacers found him curious, having never seen a raccoon before. A series of events and poor communications attempts such as scratching the letters to form the word “Grape” found Trash somehow following them willingly in their metal flying home. The air smelled strange and when it flew he found it hard to stay on the ground…

His years flying with the spacers found him an adventurous sort. They gave him the means to speak through strange surgeries. And the radiation on the ship even made him larger. He joined them on salvaging expeditions on far off worlds he never even known dwelled in the skies, and learned through their encounters the way of the world and how to survive it. He could read and spell at a level far beyond even before, and could understand what before had been impossible for him.

By YE 30 Trash had left his family when they went on an exodus to parts unknown. He traveled from world to world, exploring and traveling with a sense of wanderlust beyond explanation. Over the course of the next few years Trash had traveled a half dozen worlds all over the sector. Even writing a number of books such as “How to survive on your own by eating garbage” and “Traveling With Mutants, A Guide”, The latter having been born from an experience in a caravan with a mutant majority and their daily lives. He even stared a minor role in a screen show as a small woodland creature who befriended children.

Through his journeys, Trash found a love for map-making and cartography through necessity. Outer rim-worlds where scarcely recorded and easy to get lost in, and few could spare the time to map out their own land, and it was easy to hire a strange talking varmint who was traveling the territory doing the job anyway.
