Peaceful, kind, energetic, confident and extremely creative but also guarded, intelligent and cautious, the **Fourteenth Incarnation of the Original**, also known as **The Caregiver**, was the result of his predecessor's last stand of serenity and peace, as well as calmness and kindness. This incarnation of **The Original** believed in empathy and applied intelligence and tact, providing knowledge and inspiring brilliance to anyone who asked or needed it. He stood for equality and tolerance, frowning upon discrimination or hatred and becoming aggravated by injustice around dealing with discrimination.

Upon landing on **Earth** during 2020, The Caregiver stumbled out of the **IDES** and explored his surroundings. The IDES died soon after his landing and after wishing to leave Earth, he had to hook up an alternative energy generator powered by a **supernova** and journeyed to the planet **Xavos**, where the **Eyes of Chaos** were scooped from the planet's host star. The Caregiver left Xavos with an Eye of Chaos.

After returning to modern day Earth, The Caregiver received a signal from another Piscerian that was stranded on Earth. He found out the identity of the second PIscerian and was left with no choice but to destroy Pisceria.

## Biography

#### The days to come

On **Veeras**, at the end of his **eighth incarnation**, the **Veeri** **Contrast**showed the Eighth Incarnation of the Original his future as The Thirteenth Incarnation of the Original and the Fourteenth Incarnation of the Original.

This incarnation of **the Original** visited the **Eleventh Incarnation of the Original** shortly before his renewal into the **Twelfth Incarnation of the Original**.

When the **Eleventh Incarnation of the Original**was assigned to gift the **Knowledge Machine**to the **Ancients of Terras**, he was told by the device that "in fear, hatred and destruction, a new man of love, peace and kindness would be born". The Thirteenth Incarnation of the Original realized that he was the fear, hatred and destruction that the Fourteenth Incarnation of the Original was born in.

#### Post-renewal

As the Martyr was critically injured after curing himself of the Endorian virus through a mixture of **reversal-booster**, **I-520** and **D-2034**, he realized that he was the reason that the Endorian virus had evolved so quickly. He dedicated his next life to kindness and serenity and an intolerance towards discrimination and hatred. The virus then manifested itself as the prototype for the Tovralian-Archon hybrid and was destroyed by a burst of pure serenity energy brought about by the early renewal of The Martyr. The Martyr then gave into the renewal energy and began to renew.

As he transformed into the Caregiver, he let go of all of his hatred and judgements, and replaced them with serenity and justice, allowing himself to be absolved of his past pains and defeats. Burning away all remnants of the Martyr, the Caregiver emerged brand-new, although slightly changed by the long-term effects of the Endorian virus's inhabitation of his body.

As the Caregiver appeared, he collapsed to the floor in a heap, wearied, but as the IDES landed on Earth, it died and the Caregiver was given an impulse to leave his vessel.

#### Travelling to Xavos

Without any power in the IDES and all engines dead as a result of the Caregiver's 13th renewal, the Caregiver was forced to hook up an emergency **Novan Capture** generator and use it to travel to Xavos, the planet on which Eyes of Chaos were captured and used for engines. He crash-landed on Xavos, due to the **foreshock** of a **solar tsunami**, with the IDES on the verge of falling apart and obtained an Eye of Chaos, returning to the IDES and plugging it in before the **main shockwave** of the solar tsunami hit. He returned to Earth after his trip to Xavos.

#### Being signalled by the second Piscerian

Shortly after returning to Earth, the Caregiver received a distress call in Piscerian, the language of his people, and scanned for the location of his fellow Piscerian. He traced the emanation point of the distress call, on April 21st 2019. He almost immediately detected the presence of **High Military Officer** **Zalas Thoreon**, one of **Lord Salikon**'s personal guards. He returned to his previous location and was found by Thoreon and shot at by a **Laser Gun**, hiding in his IDES and raising the blast shields. The Caregiver then found a **Trap Door** to post-war Pisceria and ran into Thoreon, seemingly surrendering to him and his guards. Eventually, he realized that Thoreon was, in actuality, Lord Salikon, shooting him and running off before stumbling into **Chief Skaleox**. He ran away from Skaleox into the IDES, initializing the planet's self-destruct before returning to Earth.

## Psychological profile

#### Personality

The Caregiver's personality is highly influenced by his predecessors final stand for serenity and peace and the exaltation of tolerance and equality, with the banishing and disgust of toxic people and negative energies. The Caregiver is a highly emotionally inclined person, being able to make an extremely clear distinction between self-victimization, toxicity, negative energies and energies of growth, understanding and tolerance. An optimist with underlying darker tones of criticism and hyper-sensitivity, The Caregiver stands up for himself and those he held close, banishing negativity and overriding people intent on crushing him.

The Caregiver, unlike most of his other incarnations is calm and happy, but also innovative and inventive and uses his calm energy and friendliness to help people. He is a very caring individual and is capable of great emotional and intuitive intelligence, that proves him to be a worthy foe for the Vessels and the Shadow Monster throughout their various encounters. The Caregiver stands for loyalty, courage and talent as well as trust, understanding how rare purified editions of these traits were and found disloyalty both confusing and offensive, due to his past experiences with it.

The Caregiver is also extremely hard to convince otherwise once he'd made his mind up, standing with what he feels is right and making it stick, as a promise to himself and those he holds close to not get shut down, like he had through previous incarnations.

A self-proclaimed "scary, good-looking genius", the Caregiver is a chatty and strangely empathic, understanding individual capable of fitting into the archetype of a savant and emotional intellectual. He often goes on tangents or react with surprise or change personalities when a scenario would change. He is deeply empathetic and recognizes when people had true claims to victimhood, spurning those isolated in a cycle of self-victimization or destruction. He is also capable of being extremely passive, letting go of events or actions that would upset a number of his previous incarnations.

The Caregiver was interested in the macabre and new, enjoying mystery and the occult, with a strong tie to the unknown and misunderstood forces. He was fascinated by the darkness in people and how it could be lured out and explored by him and the person. He had a fascination with the implausible and philosophies, understanding them and how they operated to a fairly strong level. He was open to new ideas and always had an ear open, wanting to understand, communicate and expand new or existing ideas.

The Caregiver, unlike his predecessors, tries to truly understand love and began to open up to being "sentimental", as he phrases it. He holds trust as something very sacred, and it took him decades of his last life to open up to someone that was partially responsible for his creation. The Caregiver acknowledged the scars that he had been left with over centuries and admitted to being a healer of the emotionally sick and unstable.

He implores others to stand their ground against vindictiveness and cruelty, standing with those who stood for good, but also expects an explanation from those who were in the wrong. He has a much stronger mental agility than his immediate predecessors and possesses a higher mental resistance to the past and it's negative associations.

He has a few different personalities, switching from cunning and resourceful during his battles with the Vessels, to kind and curious during his interactions with others. He is also highly focused and happy whenever he is in a creative process.

The Caregiver was easily animated by untidiness and lack of logic and would often find himself unconfining his anger towards these. He stands up to injustice around discrimination, however, and frowns upon ignoring of hatred and intolerance.

#### Skills

The Caregiver is a fantastic animator and artist, creating sculptural and relief based works that challenged his innovative and intelligent capacities. He is also an amateur writer and fantastic observational philosopher, with his mind wired in to explore the great inventors and innovators. He is also a lot more intelligent and speedy than his previous incarnations.
