Name: Nolan Knox Lineage: Unknown human origins with traces of glitch-based anomalies Species: 60% Human, 40% Glitch (Anomaly) Potential: Fragmented Reality Potential – Nolan’s glitch-like powers allow him to phase between timelines, shift through alternate versions of himself, and interact with distorted realities. His potential is still unfolding, and his grasp over his abilities remains unstable. Alignment: Chaotic Neutral – Nolan is neither a hero nor a villain; his path is shaped by his fractured sense of identity and morality. Driven by personal goals and survival, he navigates the chaos within and without. The Past: Nolan Knox’s origins are shrouded in mystery. He was once an ordinary human, but his life changed when he entered the Nexus—a realm of chaos and distortion. Over time, he became a **Glitchborn**—a being who has been entwined with the Nexus’s chaotic fabric for so long that his body and mind flicker endlessly between different states of being. His physical form bears the scars of this chaos, shimmering subtly with fractured energies when his powers surge. His memories are fragmented, lost to the shifting tides of time and reality, leaving him haunted by echoes of a past he cannot fully grasp. The Transformation: Nolan’s body is a living artifact of instability—his flesh flickers with glitchy energy, cracks of fractured light pulsing around him as reality warps and distorts. His mind is a turbulent sea of conflicting timelines, perceptions, and echoes of alternate selves. He exists on the edge of unraveling, caught between worlds, constantly shifting, never fully grounded. The Mission: His purpose is uncertain—driven by a desire to understand the chaos that consumes him and to find some semblance of stability. Nolan seeks to unravel the mysteries of the Nexus, harness its power, or perhaps escape its grasp altogether. His journey is one of survival, discovery, and the quest to forge a new identity amid the chaos that defines him. Powers & Arsenal: Desync Drift: Nolan can move between different timelines simultaneously, causing his presence to flicker unpredictably and confound enemies. Out-of-Order Existence: He interacts with past, present, and future as if they occur in no particular order, reliving or glimpsing moments yet to come. Glitched Archetype: He can shift between multiple versions of himself, each with distinct abilities, carrying echoes of what he might have become. These versions give him access to a range of unpredictable powers. Personality & State: Unstable & Elusive: Nolan is a complex mix of resilience and chaos—tough, independent, yet haunted by loss and confusion. His perception of reality is fractured, making him unpredictable and difficult to read. Reluctant Trust: He trusts few and prefers to rely on himself, wary of others and any influence beyond his own fractured sense of self. Haunted by the Fragments: The echoes of his past and the chaos within him constantly threaten to consume his sense of stability, pushing him toward the edge of madness or clarity. The Truth: Nolan Knox’s former life is lost in the shifting tides of the Nexus. He is a fractured, chaotic entity—neither hero nor villain, but a survivor trying to piece together meaning from the chaos that has become his existence. His body flickers endlessly, a living embodiment of the fractured reality he now calls home.
