Events or History: (( From his original character sheet, this is still accurate, but he has moved on from this world ))

Lyric was never a bold sort, being a steady hunter and a stable worker. Always enjoyable if a bit bland, in other words. But there is a side to this 'boring' Beblune: he will protect young of any breed from harm if he possibly can.

He lives near the Human encampment, having become curious about them when their ship crashed, and moved from his family's traditional grounds in the Tellstar islands northward into Shatterfield. He brought with him only his songs and voice, as most who live in Tellstar are avid singers.

Lyric's bravery was tested when errant eastward winds brought bits of volcanic fire down onto the Human camp, and isolated huts were endangered. Among them, a very young Human child who could not find his parents! Keeping that child safe meant the world to Lyric, and obviously also to the boy's family when they were reunited days later.

While they were initially mistrustful, the Humans soon learned what a good companion Lyric could be to their young children. Since the adults have much to work on, their small colony needs every available person to fix huts or create items, the children would either be underfoot or unattended. Lyric's presence means the adults can get to work and trust that the children won't be endangered or goofing off.

In exchange for this service (which he finds to be enough of a reward, but they want to give more!) the Humans have begun teaching Lyric many of their traditional songs. From children's rhymes and lullabies, to rousing drinking songs, hymns, popular music from their home world, and everything in between.

He nests in a hut, once a meeting room but now serving as the collective childcare area suitable for a Beblu and his young charges.

Lyric is very tolerant and doesn't mind when the kids want to ride him, though he draws the line when they're big enough to look him in the eye with both feet on the ground. (He figures they're old enough to be working with the adults anyway!)

***

During some Human festivals, Lyric learned about 'Halloween' and other holidays! But Halloween is among the best!

***

At the age of 107 he and some other Bebs discovered a portal which had randomly opened... and he followed the others through it, though he did wait for his human friend ** to come along
