Here's corrupted star!! Teensy bio just for funsies: Name: Vail Pronouns: They/them Personality: Very brash, acts without thinking but is able to talk their way out of most things Story: -SLIGHT MENTION OF GORE- Vail originated as an an alien cell that was attached to a meteorite and taken into a lab to be studied. There it grew in containment, supervised by several staff members and a semi-sentient AI used to log information and help the researchers. A rouge lighting storm overloaded the building and AI, and damaged the organism's containment unit. Not only releasing the organism, the storm also caused a staff member to be severely injured by falling debris, losing an arm, having their neck severed, and losing an eye. The alien cells found the dying staff member, and they were fused in the next wave of electricity through contact with broken machinery, connecting the AI as well. Vail was formed from this combination of factors (to be clear, this isn't me doing the 'nonbinary character is multiple people in one' trope. The alien cells weren't conscious before fusion, and Vail formed in a mixture of electricity, the dormant consciousness of the alien cells, the AI, and the body of the staff worker!). Vail has no memory of any prior experience as the worker, cells or AI, making them an entirely new creation. Extra: Vail still contains a constant need for more information, leftover instinct from the AI or researcher they were formed from. It doesn't matter what about, they are always eager to learn more. Unfortunately, this gets them into a rather large amount of trouble, as they never really know when to quit.
they're a super cool character, thank you for letting me compete! I'm not sure how to link to a better quality image bc scratch keeps bleeping out my link! tragedy. I'll see what I can do later for that :)
