Isaac X-Beetle

For Isaac's predecessor, see Darrell Halostorm.
Isaac Neutron X-Beetle is a Tech District CRiTORA who ended up in the Abnormal District and one of the main protagonists of CRiTORA: abnormal.
==Bio==
The X-Bug CRiTORA. One of the most popular streamers in CRiTOPiA, Isaac loved to compete with his rivals Miyamoto and Paratchet at the Game Time Arcade. That is, until the Infestation Invasion, which led to Isaac ending up in an unknown place, where he must work with two unfamiliar faces.
== Personality ==
As one of CRiTOPiA's most iconic streamers, Isaac is a confident, energetic CRiTORA who always enjoys challenging himself and competing against others. He enjoys spending his time gaming and hanging out at the arcade, and is skilled at a wide variety of games. These skills translate well to combat, making him very proficient with a wide range of weapons; this leaves him vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat, however.
Isaac's confidence can often cloud his judgment, bordering on arrogance. He rushes into situations head-first, regardless of the consequences, much to Caroline's chagrin. Despite his bravado, Isaac ends up biting off more than he can chew in most cases, and is forced to retreat.
His headstrong attitude belies a kind heart, however, and he is willing to help or stand up for others when needed. He also seems to be supportive of others, and encourages them to improve their skills, as shown when he reassures Kookie in the prologue. He is also willing to work together with others when the time calls for it, as shown in Chapter 8 when he agrees to form an alliance with The Caveman. 
==Physical Appearance ==
<tabber>
|-|Normal=
Isaac is an insectoid CRiTORA with a rounded body structure. His head is lime green with a black mouth and black antennae. His eyes are black with white borders resembling goggles and yellow, reticle-shaped pupils. Isaac's torso is cylindrical in shape and is white with a broad green stripe. His shoulders are round and black, leading to four lime green arms that end in hands covered by white gloves with yellow accents. His feet are short, black and rounded, with a pair of yellow toes on each. Isaac also has two pairs of wings on his back: the outer wings are yellow while the inner wings are white, though the latter are only visible when Isaac is flying. He wears a white cap with a green brim and a yellow "X" symbol.
|-|V-Isaac=
As V-Isaac, his appearance changes drastically. His body is now primarily pink in color, and his torso becomes more geometric, adorned with four circles, half colored off-white and half colored red. His arms, now separated from his body and composed of pink rhombuses, end in curled, monstrous hands alternately colored off-white and dark pink. His legs are substantially smaller, now little more than black circles with minuscule red toes. V-Isaac's head has also changed; it is now composed of a singular, giant eye with a dark pink border, bearing a black sclera, pink reticle-shaped iris and red pupil. One of his antennae is now jagged and red in color, whereas the other is unchanged but is now pink. V-Isaac's cap is also slightly smaller and entirely black in color.

== Relationships ==
* Kepler Solarowl - Isaac gets along well with Kepler, and the two compliment each other in combat. Isaac helps to ease Kepler's worries, whereas the latter's more rational personality balances the former's strong-willed one.
* Caroline Cakepod - Isaac and Caroline are good friends, though this relationship strains somewhat throughout the story as Isaac's overconfidence and Caroline's temper put them at odds with one another. Despite this, however, both care about one another and are willing to protect each other.
* Miyamoto Blockinjump - Isaac and Miyamoto are good friends, and compete with each other often at the Game Time Arcade.
* Paratchet Stataplay - Isaac and Paratchet are good friends, and compete with each other often at the Game Time Arcade. Despite her competitiveness, Paratchet clearly cares about Isaac, refusing to give up hope when he goes missing.
==Trivia==
*He was created as a replacement for Darrell Halostorm (now known as Derek Shorthorn), and the two share the same voice actor.
*V-Isaac was originally going to resemble a cricket, in reference to Jiminy Cricket from The Adventures of Pinocchio, but Daydreaming Birdie could not think of a good design and went for a monstrous beetle design instead.
*Isaac is adept at playing the saxophone, as shown in Playin' the Sax!
=== Design origins===
Isaac is based on a beetle as well as the Xbox series of gaming consoles. His fighting methods are inspired by Halo and Minecraft, two of Xbox's most popular gaming franchises. Aspects of his design were also inspired by Darrell Halostorm. V-Isaac takes inspiration from the Xbox 360's infamous "Red Ring of Death" with insectoid aspects inspired by Kabuterimon from the Digimon franchise and (to a lesser extent) Jiminy Cricket from The Adventures of Pinocchio.
===Name origins ===
Isaac is named after English astronomer Sir Isaac Newton, known for forming the basis of modern physics and creating the Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation. His middle name may be derived from Newton's surname, as well as neutrons, a type of subatomic particle. X-Beetle is derived from Xbox and beetle.
