Darrell Halostorm

For Darrell's replacement, see Isaac X-Beetle.
 Darrell Halostorm was a Tech District CRiTORA and one of the main characters of the initial version of CRiTORA: abnormal. 
His current replacement in CRiTORA is Isaac X-Beetle and Darrell has since been repurposed as Derek 'Technopunk' Shorthorn for LastyGhost's Technopunk.
==Bio==
The X-Blast CRiTORA. Among the greatest streamers in CRiTOPiA, Darrell never fails to provide exciting gaming content for all CRiTORA to enjoy! His life was turned upside down, however, when he ended up in the mysterious Abnormal District and met two unfamiliar faces. Despite his subpar driving skills, Darrell was able to navigate his way through the district and return to CRiTOPiA alongside his new friends Ingrid and Osmehel. He avoids any questions about what exactly happened down there, though. 
==Physical Appearance==
Darrell is a piscine CRiTORA with a primarily gray body. His eyes are rectangular with black sclera and vermilion, ring-shaped irises. He has a mop of black hair and neon green cross-shaped markings on his cheeks. His fins are black with neon green ligaments. Darrell typically wears a whire cap with neon green diamond-shaped markings and a neon green brim, as well as a translucent light green visor. He also wears a white battery pack on his back, connected to a gray and neon green cannon by a black wire. 
== Powers and Abilities ==
* Darrell can turn his fins into energy blades for combat. (ability currently unnamed)
=== Equipment ===
* Darrell can use his energy cannon for defense. 
==Trivia==
*He and his successor Isaac share the same voice actor.
*He was originally going to be repurposed as a Splatoon fandom character named Darrell Crossenfin. This idea was scrapped and reworked into Derek Shorthorn.
**Aspects of Darrell recycled for Derek include a common love for gaming, and, in part, the color palette used in Derek's Technopunk persona.
*According to the LastyGhost Wiki:
**Darrell drinks energy drinks to keep both himself and his cannon charged, and is not affected by the high caffeine in said drinks.
**Darrell enjoys eating fried food, especially if it's spicy.
=== Design origins ===
Darrell is based on the Xbox series of consoles, as well as a fish.
=== Name origins ===
His last name comes from Halo (one of XBOX's flagship franchises) and Storm.
=== Design changes ===
Darrell's design did not undergo many changes in his time as an active character; he originally had rounded eyes. In Late 2022, to adapt to LastyGhost's art style at the time, Darrell was given details, his eyes became squared, and he was given eyebrows, though they were removed when drawn in Daydreaming Birdie's art style due to them not looking right. 
In 2023, those details are removed, and Darrell's hair becomes visible.
