🖊 Mobius
skfsjjjjjjfssfdkjkllk yes I love this bean SO MUCH HE IS MY BABY
So there is Mobius and Rohe-Esoku, where Rohe-Esoku is an AU version of Mobius, but I'mma just do Mobius because that's what you asked
He's the literal beanest. Baby bean. Has some terrible things happen to him when he's growing up -- his parents saved him from a very bad place when he was a baby, he was kidnapped when he was around 10 years old, and when he was in his early adulthood, he got into an abusive relationship that needed familial intervention to get him out of
He takes after his biological mother and father in different ways, as well as his adopted mother and father. His bio mom was Zara-Sonili, an amazing and strong woman who died protecting his egg. He refered to her as his egg-mommy for years before he found out the culturally correct word (amahi) and learned more about her and her life. Like her, he has a mind that often focuses beyond reality, on stories and theology. He inheritted her force of emotion as well. His biological 'father' doesn't deserve that word. He did nothing but hurt Zara-Sonili and Mobius very intentionally. Mobius did inherit some positive things from him. He inheritted an eye for detail and predisposition for artistic skill. He's honestly a lot more like his adopted parents in behavior -- he has the same physical mannerisms, way of talking, etc. He does all the weird Starling things ^-^ and is responsible for some of them in part. He is a whacky, wonderful child.
One thing about Mobius that is fascinating to me is his relationship with faith. His family is Christian -- some of the few Christian characters that my best friend and I have -- and they apply it in a different way than you would expect them to. We haven't worked out all the details yet, but I know some things about Mobius. He has a really hard time reading for Reasons, and so it's a challenge for him to read the scriptures (I don't know which interpretation his family uses, and due to where they live, it's more than likely that they draw from multiple). However, when he was kidnapped, a worldhopper dropped a bible, and it was one of the few comforts that he had during that part of his kidnapping (though he was beaten for it, when they found out he was hiding it). He tends to focus a lot more on prayer. Something he has a hard time reconciling sometimes is how he can be a person with strong faith, a genuinely good person, and still have so much hate, discrimination, and traumatic events happen to him. It's probably a major struggle when he's older, and especially while he's processing what happened to him while he was kidnapped. Another thing that bothers him is how the representations of Christ always leave out most of the scars it makes sense that he would have sustained from the events throughout the bible, especially leading up to his crucifixion (Mobius has a different understanding of resurrection). Mobius sustained heavy scarring during his kidnapping and infancy, so seeing artistic representations where the 'other scars' are taken away irks him -- to the point where he ends up spending years perfecting the artistic style he needs in order to paint his own representation of Christ, with the scars he would have without some probable facets of the resurrection. (I have a clear idea of what this painting looks like, but I'm waiting for a bit until I put it into words).
As a baby and during his kidnapping, Mobius was an experiment. He was too little to remember before his adopted parents saved him, but the events during his kidnapping left him with severe PTSD and a lot of confusion about how he fit into the world.
Mobius loves his family and his art and is a wonderful little bean. I could go on forever but my brain has frozen on the little loading sign with the balls that go in a circle and woosh around a little, so I'mma go to bed, but it was fun rambling about my lil Bus!
