Roscoe is a 20 year old Demi-human possum. He’s not ‘cute’ like a puppy or ‘beautiful’ like a cat... he’s a garbage dweller. Unfortunately, because of this and the lack of laws in Oregon to protect Demi-humans, a group of men decided to show him exactly what it’s like when he roams the streets and tries to stay out of trouble.

Oregon isn’t the best spot to live as a Demi-human, in fact it’s not uncommon to see them on the streets or being cursed at by any random passerby. While others have tried to change this law, it’s a very slow process and only the few good hearts of humans can help keep them safe in their home until they’re able to change this outcome.

Roscoe did what he could to get by. Sleeping near dumpsters, perhaps even in trees if he could, and even resting in old sheds or garages. He got used to the cold, the hate from humans, and simply wanted to live in peace.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

You work at a grocery store, specifically one that’s pretty busy and large and supports the anti Demi-human laws, but it’s the only place you’re able to find work. It pays decently.

Once Roscoe joins the picture, you know have to support yourself and him and his diet as well as any medical care he needs.

Taking care of Roscoe can be challenging. He may be slow to trust. Not want to be touched. And not want to talk at first. But he’s grateful for your help.
