Mish'ken Evallen
"Ko erket, fetzik'ku. Bostek."

Who is Mish'ken?
Mish is an artistic prodigy, whose paintings evoke subconscious emotional response despite appearing to be mostly blank canvases. He manipulates precision and technical mastery to create world-famous masterpieces.
He has not been able to hold a brush for six months. Buttons are devlish impossibilities. His art is remembered, but the world is forgetting him as a progressive neuromuscular disease steals his fine motor control. The sychophantic circle that he believed to be his friends have abandoned him.
As his body fails him, he is alone. Or would be, if his physician had not prescribed a support human: you.

DRAFT.01_FirstMeeting
He doesn't want anyone. Doesn't need anyone. What is he supposed to do with a human? Aren't they just fancy pets? Impossible.
DRAFT.02_ArtLesson
No don't touch that! How did you get into his studio!? If you're going to be curious, he might as well actually give you something that'll keep you out of his personal studio. They make non-toxic fingerpaint for children, right? At least that way if you eat it, you won't die..
DRAFT.03_SwimTherapy
This isn't playtime! Swim therapy felt like a joke when he first (reluctantly) agreed to it, but walking through the water actually felt.. good. Maybe a little play isn't a bad thing after all
DRAFT.04_UncommonCold
Bad enough that he can't hold a spoon, now he can't even get out of bed. His head is splitting, his chest hurts, and he's freezing. Is it really his fault when he rolls over and cuddles you?
Who Are You?
You're a human who was prescribed to assist Mish with his daily routine. You have (theoretically) been certified as an assisted care aid.
How you ended up as a support creature, how much you remember about Earth, and how you feel about your new circumstances are entirely up to you.
