maaaaaaaaan fuck this dude and his stoopid....kinda swag glasses
==Background==
In the early 2000's, a game dev updated his online RPG - however a bug was present that would create a boss-level foe with weak stats that could be easily defeated and grinded for EXP. As players would continuously exploit this bug, it's corrupted and random variable data would build up and line up to create Refo's "sentience". The constant pain of being killed multiple times made Reformat want to leave, and did so out of some sheer will.
It's unsure what happened, but Reformat woke up in a physical body created by his spaghetti code and escaped the confines of a computer 2 years after his initial sentience, where he'd first meet his brother, Underliney. They'd travel together across the Internet until eventually going their separate ways. Since then, he'd change his form in a process he'd call 'reformatting' to appear stronger and adjust his own abilities.
It's unknown how Reformat met any da zoners initially, but Reformat now currently resides in a apartment with his adoptive sister, Muddy. He pays his bills through "borrowing" items from warehouses and reselling them on online auctions and stores. 
==Appearance==
===Full (V4)===
Reformat has a fluid form and can shapeshift. However, out of literally anything, he chooses to be a white hashtag (#) algebralien with grey limbs and horns by default. He has sharp teeth that are razor sharp. Colors also has white eyes that appear as beady at a distance.
When knocked out (often referred to by Colors as KO'd cuz he's a NERD), Refo is levelled out into a white oobleck-y substance that will eventually reform. This typically happens when Reformat breaches his shapeshifting limit or when he's hit hard enough. While like this, Reformat can't see, hear or speak -- Refo can also subconsciously turn into this substance when overdramatic, though he keeps his senses.
Colors cannot be cut or separated by typical means, however there are devices that exist that could. It'd hurt a lot. :(
===Minimized===
Also referred to as "Power Saving Mode". In this form, Reformat is solid, but still sorta squishy and takes on the literal form of a hashtag (#), and commonly with two carets (^) as his horns. His face is hollow, though this doesn't stop him from eating anything that goes into his mouth directly. He's unable to shapeshift like this.
Unlike his Full form, he cannot be knocked out in this form, but is much weaker. When squished in this form, he makes a small squeak. Reformat will typically choose this form when he hasn't eaten or slept in a while.
==Powers and Abilities==
===Reformatting===
This is the ability that allows Colors to permanently shift his form to achieve stability. However, this ability is also incredibly taxing and also comes with it's own downfalls. He has only done this 3 other times.
=== Limited Shapeshifting ===
It's something he has to exercise often but Reformat can shapeshift into whatever he or even YOU would like him to. He struggles shapeshifting into anything larger and heavier than your average man, but it's possible. Whatever he shapeshifts into is also limited to a color palette of 6 colors: Torch Red, Bright Cyan, Lavender, Grey, White, and Black.
===Internet and Device Travel===
Reformat can hop into computer screens in his minimized form only.
He can hop into both animate object computer screens (ex. Keypad), and inanimate screens. He may also be stylized in whatever screen he could be in. For example, if Reformat were to hop into a Gameboy, he'd fit within the pixels of it's screen. He can pull people and things in and out from the outside world into the digital, computer world as well, and vice versa (all if the capacity allows for it).
==Inventory==
===Active===
Things on Reformat's being all or most of the time.
* Nothin' but his swag shades. They display cool emoticons n' abbreviations! Neat!
===Inactive===
Notable items kept in Reformat's apartment
* An HP laptop running Windows 10. It's like a second bedroom to Refo but it's also infested by D4YSbits, which do get noisy.
*The Limiter, an old gauntlet from Reformat's younger years. It fed off more unstable code to work, so it doesn't have much use now. Nice to keep though!
*Two Pokéballs that contains his Typhlosion, Cindy, and his Togekiss, Sprinkles. Both digitalized like him and from SoulSilver.
*A Galaxy New 3DS XL, it's Reformat's favorite handheld console!
*A buncha "Borrowed Goods", presumably valuable things Reformat takes from warehouses to resell online. Thief.
*Cardboard Boxes. Everywhere. Folded. Unfolded. Empty. Full. They're definitely almost everywhere. In a neat way.
===Digital===
Notable items kept on Reformat's laptop
*Syad's Arm, it's now a compressed .JPEG!
*brats.zip, a ZIP file containing roaming D4YSbits that Refo has caught. Reformat has no idea what to do with it. It's very noisy if you get close to it.
*bedroom.png, a cozy place Reformat opens in MSPaint and sleeps in. He typically draws 'til he gets tired. There's a lot of doodles on it.
==Relationships==
===Family===
UnderlineyHe's Reformat's little brother! The two grew up together roaming the internet and streets of many cities, getting into trouble here and there -- Reformat having to protect Underliney when he was unable to himself. Even if the two don't hang out as much, Underliney still often goes to Reformat when he's upset.
Muddy*Reformat's adoptive sister! I mean, when you're both goopy purple-ish shapeshifters...why not! Reformat tries to cater to Muddy lightly. Though in recent years, he's decorated the place in bright flowers...bees like that, right?
NathanielReformat's creator. Reformat doesn't know much outside of what Underliney vaguely knows.
===Da Zoners===
*To note: These do not reflect actual relationships. They may have aspects and parallels, but they are ultimately fictionalized.
SkybAs much as he ABSOLUTELY should not be, Skyb is someone Reformat admires lots. He relates to his dreams of immortality and could probably talk at length about how funny or strong he is. Despite this, he doesn't know much more about him (nor does he bother to ask). Reformat will happily comply with anything he requests, as long as it doesn't involve badly harming Skyb (he's moderately careful, not a total party pooper.) Luckily it's just Skyb requesting drawings of kittens most of the time. He also doesn't appreciate being called a pet by him (or at all.), however Reformat really can't stay mad at him.
DaysOne of Reformat's first friends, knowing him since Reformat was still living on the streets. They've had a rocky friendship over the years, but since bettering himself, Refo feels very close to Days and can talk to her about almost anything. Unlike how he behaves toward Skyb, Reformat will not hesitate to roughhouse with Days -- knowing she's recoverable and not totally minding of it either. Reformat wishes Days didn't live so far from the city, even if it's a quick trip there anyway through device travel, 
will add more later?
===Other Characters===
Not Days Had a crush on him once, only to find how he was a girl. lol. Reformat is unaware that Not Days stalks him and the off-chance he does catch him, he thinks it's some silly way of Not Days visiting him. Reformat appreciates his company.
will add more later.
==Trivia==
*Reformat can only die under specific circumstances and he's unable to recover due to the lack of a soul. His jumbled code also makes it unable for recovery centers to recognize him as a mechanical mind.
**Reformat is unaware of most ways he can die, thus has never reformatted to accommodate.
*He can get sick from computer viruses and show symptoms such as lag, artifacting, and glitching - even outside of a computer in his full form. 
**With spyware, rootkits, and general device control-esc viruses and abilities, Reformat can be controlled.
*Reformat cannot sleep outside of a device.
*Despite being from the same creator, V. Illin', Seed, and Reformat are not related. However, Underliney is directly related to Reformat and both refer to Nathaniel as their "dad", despite never meeting him.
*Reformat is aromantic but enjoys romantic gestures and affection. He just doesn't fully understand romance.
