Post-Horizon Parker MacMillan

Parker after falling out the black hole. He's a crab now! Currently as I write this I don't have a Definitive(tm) pre-horizon history for this Parker, but it's probably a calm Parker like the one in All-Parkers-Are-Okay. But that might change!

When he fell it's probably an understatement to say I was really excited! Parker's my favourite blaseball boy and I'd been hoping he fell every time, and thankfully because the sim is still a better storyteller than us all he fell at the very last moment. The fact he fell to the crabs also means a lot to me as they were my first team when I first joined in season 24.

Overview

Lost his fire after falling to baltimore, and is now very emotionally and physically tired
Learning to let himself get attached to his team and teammates and love playing blaseball again

Personality

Good vibes from finally being free of firewalker
Lowest stress levels since season A, over 50 years ago
Taking a while to emotionally adjust to not having to worry about killing his team anymore and can come off as distant and aloof
Has infrequent very strange but ultimately still upsetting crab related nightmares after he starts carcinising

History

Fell into the ocean when he landed in baltimore and later washed up on a nearby beach
Still found himself feeling incredibly uneasy when the end of a week approached, despite logically knowing he was no longer a danger
Was horrified by the season 1 election results and found the lead up to them stressful, as he hadn't had a reason not to fear an election since season A
Discovers he's carcinising by accidentally tearing off a young vulnerable antenna while brushing his hair. Ends up extensively reading up on the effects and process of carcinisation to emotionally prepare himself
Until both reach full size, he has uneven antennae due to the injured one needing to regrow from scratch
Spends a portion of the offseason functionally motion sick and mostly bedridden due to having to adjust to developing a new sensory input via his antennae
Witnessed Velasquez Alstott's incineration, the first in-game death in the new universe, while he was at bat and hit an adrenaline fuelled home run almost immediately afterwards. A few moments before he had felt the air get warmer via his antennae. Vela's was the first incineration he had ever witnessed first hand, and it badly affects his mental state. [panic panic bad feelies this only happened recently i'm still working on how he reacted] Despite it happening on the opposite end of the field, the heightened senses from his ongoing carcinisation let him experience it as if he was closer anyway
Recognised an oncoming incineration under a week later as Vela's was so recent, and saw the umpires were aiming for Chae DeShields. Driven by impulse, he ran to try and save them, but couldn't reach them in time and instead only made himself watch the incineration closer
Due to what happened with Chae, when Mimosa Arslan and Ramirez Winters were incinerated the same season, when he noticed the incoming incineration he froze both times. He didn't sleep that night. Can you believe it he witnessed four incinerations in one season
Continues to struggle with the aftereffects of the incinerations, staying distant from Chae's and Ramirez's replacements and pushing himself away emotionally from the rest, fearing he's still cursed and somehow getting people hurt.

Appearance/Design

Produces smoke and ashes from his feet and hands instead of fire, uniform is ash stained as he stopped bothering to try and keep it clean
Body temperature got hecked by getting extinguished and is now usually found wearing a thick parka even in hot weather - he almost always feels cold no matter what the actual temperature is
Gains antennae and chitin around his eyes and stitches between season 1 and 2. His right antenna is weaker both structurally and functionally due to him damaging it while it grew in
