Coryn

Coryn, also known as Xanthous is the deuteragonist in the Project Marigold series. He is also the titular character and main protagonist in the spinoff The World of Coryn.

He is the youngest son of Atlas and P-body (younger than Basil by a couple of minutes), the closest friend of Coriander and the youngest out of his siblings. He is also blind for an unexplained reason.

under construction.

Background/The World of Coryn
Basil and Coryn were prematurely born to P-body and Atlas on November 12. Coryn was born after Basil. Unlike his brother, Coryn was much smaller and some may say weaker. GLaDOS often called him a runt.

When Coryn figured out how to walk, it was when his family realized something was wrong as he kept walking into things and never made eye contact with anyone. GLaDOS examined him a bit, and then confirmed that Coryn was born with total blindness. GLaDOS decided to spare him as incinerating him could probably turn Atlas and P-body against her.

3 years later, the siblings had to temporarily stay in a nearby office, as GLaDOS wanted to test her robots again after she paused and tested on Coriander when they had kids. Basil and Coryn ventured out of the area when Pallas was asleep.

However, Mori, the Death Core, was assigned to take the children of Blue and Orange with the help of some mannequins. She abducted the two and took them to the TFC's base without leaving any sign of her or the mannequins presence. The security cameras there were also down at the time.

After being sent to the TFC's base, both robots became slaves to help an AI known as "The Boss". Basil was forced to power up systems while Coryn was Mori's slave. Mori was very strict and abusive towards him, and often beat him up. This resulted in Coryn getting a large "scar" across his face.

Personality
Before his abduction, Coryn was rather quiet and was mostly seen with his mother while his siblings kept fighting over who their father liked the most. When interacting with his siblings or father, he showed a slightly more playful side, but wasn't exactly social. Basil often picked on him and they both often teased each other.

Coryn was also quite a quick learner and was quite aware of the world around him despite being blind. This was the main reason why he won in fights with Basil. Pallas on the other hand was much more difficult being older and taller. Coryn was often more sensitive than his siblings.

After his abduction, he was quite paranoid and often had nightmares involving his suffering with Mori and The Boss. Despite this, he managed to toughen up and often defied rules. He is quite antisocial and would only interact with friends and family. His personality in general is quite similar to his mother's- sensitive and inquisitive.

Coryn also acted rather strange. When he was a baby, he would freeze whenever his upper back frame gets pulled. This would be the equivalent to a kitten getting carried by its scruff. He outgrew this once he turned 2.

Appearance
Coryn is a unusually small, white and orange spherical robot with central heterochromia that is mostly blue with orange around his pupil. His markings are orange and has an antenna placed on the left side of his back.

His back has his name printed on, along with the Aperture Laboratories logo. He looks very similar to his father shape-wise, but color (and personality)-wise, he is very similar to his mother. Coryn also has a large scar across his face that is running diagonal from the left of his face.
