How many Viscets do you own?: 5
Viscet name: Apollo
Viscet gender: male
Describe him/her in 5 words: Blames his insecurities on space
What is this Viscet scared of and why? (min 150 words): Apollo's biggest fear is what surrounds us. Space. He's afraid of the universe and what's out there, and what's not out there. Is there life on other planets, other galaxies? Or are we alone? Both are terrifying. Thinking about how the earth rotates while spinning around the sun that swirls through our galaxy that does who knows what in whatever is beyond makes his head spin. He can't grasp the idea of what we are and where we are. And how did we get here, anyway? Did a chunk of rock split from Mars and collide with earth? Is that why there's traces of water on Mars? Or is there something else, or someone else that brought us here. Will we ever know the answers? Probably not. Will we ever be satisfied with not knowing? Probably not.
There's not really much Apollo can do other than think about the little things in life that make him happy. Going on nature hikes, taking a dip in the lake, having his favourite Milky Way chocolate bar... anything to keep his mind off of what the planet is hurling through, swirling... swirling... Ahh! Sometimes he just can't take it. Luckily his best friend Ben is always there for him to calm him down and knock some sense into him. When Apollo can't stop yapping about space, Ben can give him a bit of a reality check through tough love. But at least it stops his mind from spinning out of control.
Something that didn't occur to Apollo is that his fear of space could be something more. He never did feel perfectly comfortable with himself, but he didn't realize that he might be relating his space fear with fear of himself. Perhaps his design made it easy to deny that anything was wrong with himself and just blame it on outer space. When he looked in the mirror and had a feeling of dread, he always believed that it was because of his glorious mane reminding him of what's out there. Maybe he was just covering up the fact that he felt insecure about himself.
Like everyone Apollo has his ups and downs, weird quirks and mistakes. But the bad always outweighs the good. His mouth slips and he says the wrong thing, losing a friend. He gets brutally honest when someone asks him a question. Gifts have gone unappreciated, and he just can't remember his manners. Do these things make him a bad viscet? Just because he makes mistakes? Yes, because he's just not right! No, because everyone has slip-ups! Maybe we will never have a clear answer, the same way we may never have a clear answer to the universe.
Have you guessed the Viscet it has a similar mane to?(its not necessary to answer this question): 518?
