The Boys

Clouse, Kain, and Claudeous—three of my original/fan characters from an alternate version of the Slime Rancher video game. It all started around 2016-2017. I had been playing Slime Rancher, and one night I dreamed of my first encounter with Clouse. I ended up sketching his appearance and conversing with him. He eventually introduced me to his brothers, Kain and Claude, and over time, their world revealed itself to me.

Clouse is a seasoned hunter for the tribe. While he may appear aloof at times, Clouse is typically thoughtful and spirited. He leads an active lifestyle, frequently engaging in sports with fellow tribemates and even competing against other tribes. His weapon of choice is a spear embellished with an unique gemstone.

Kain is the eldest brother and the current leader of the tribe. He has a son named Colton. Kain typically looks after his two younger brothers, often managing any affairs they may have while maintaining an orderly tribal establishment. Kain possesses a charming personality and speaks in a very well-mannered tone. His signature weapons are pogamoggans, with levitating balls infused with electromagnetism magic.

Claudeous is the youngest of the two. He was born with strabismus and heterochromia; his right eye is green while the left is blue. He stands out from the others due to his colorful "plumage." Claude has a caring personality and, unlike his brothers, possesses a more timid nature when it comes to fighting, avoiding any conflict whenever possible. Claude's weapon of choice is a sentient Vacpack he discovered stashed away in a laboratory while fleeing from an army of Tarr. The Vacpack's cheeky personality often causes Claude to become annoyed and even angry at times, revealing a side of him rarely seen by others. Nevertheless, the Vacpack is Claude's most valuable possession, as he uses it for self-defense and as a companion to talk to when alone.

Clouse, Kain, and Claude lost their parents during humanity's invasion of their home planet. They now live together, supporting one another to stay safe and fed. They frequently fend off malicious humans and the Tarr, with the most notorious members being Veronica and William, who wreak havoc on their community.
