Name: It uh, doesn’t really have a name. There’s a label on the side that says “Miscellaneous.” You can call it that.
Race: It’s a cardboard box.
Gender: None. It’s a cardboard box for crying out loud.
Color: Black on #DAA520
Description: Miscellaneous is an old, dusty cardboard box covered- save for one side- in various labels and tags, varying from the aforementioned “Misc.” to more enigmatic statements, such as, “YOU MUST BELIEVE,” “YES, IT IS FOLLOWING YOU,” or “NO, I DON’T KNOW WHY IT HAS HOOKS FOR HANDS.” There’s even a “THIS SIDE UP,” label on it that points to the bottom of the box. The remaining side has a smiley face seemingly scribbled on by a kindergartener in blue crayon, which, uh, also appears to be oriented so that the bottom should be facing upwards. Hardy but hastily-put-on duct tape seals the alleged top. Someone would have to open it intentionally for it to come undone, however, although it wouldn’t really take all that much effort. There’s an address on there, somewhere, although no one would be able to tell you what it is or if it’s a real place.
Weapons/Abilities: Uh, it doesn’t really have any. It's just a cardboard box. Claiming it was anything else would just be silly.
Backstory: Throughout history, people have sealed things away in boxes, for a variety of reasons. Some people use them to simply store things. Others use them for easier transportation. Other boxes are used to separate things- apples from oranges, artifacts of the gods from those who are not worthy. Maybe they put things in boxes to keep them fresh or stable. Sometimes people even put things inside of boxes for fun or imprisonment.
And sometimes, things are shoved into boxes so that everyone will forget. No one has to find out, if it’s locked away somewhere. Memories will dim, people will die, and people will forget. No one has to remember. It’s better that way, they tell themselves, than if I kept it out there. Just hide it away, and let it disappear.
This? This is one of those boxes.
