Nautilus "Cafftopus" Nokken, also known as Caff for short (he/him and they/them), is a Coronasona created and roleplayed by Reynie (AKA Thayer A. Serrenn/ Sigmaverse Productions). Nautilus is a Changeling water spirit and a "child of the water" best described as an anxious, coffee-loving prankster. He travels mainly with the Gay Bus Gang, being particularly close with his friend, TK, on whose NewTube channel he frequently appears. Nautilus also has a child named Tiny with his QPP, Dinotaur. He has only appeared in one public Coronasona related Lore piece, *Coronasona Tales, Volume 1: Nautilus*, which is his backstory that was written by his creator.

# History

## Early Life

Nautilus was born in the midst of a November storm in 2002. He rode the waves like a roller coaster for a bit before swimming to the depths of the ocean where he spent the next 14 or so years alone and raising himself.

## *Nautilus* (2016-2020)

### Area 7 Capture & Escape

In March of 2016, Nautilus was thrust to the surface of the ocean where there was both a storm and a ship wreck in progress. He was knocked out and washed up off the coast of Maine by the summer home of millionaire and businessman Gillian O’Brian. He was picked up by the Coast Guard and then passed off to the US military, imprisoned in Area 7. He was put under intense experimentation and assassin training for several years. During that time, he grew a pair of pointed ears to hear lower frequencies of sound and learned to understand both spoken and written English. He escaped government custody in July of 2020 after killing a few guards.

Nautilus spent several months in his own, wandering around the human world on his own. They mostly stuck to the shadows because of negative experiences with other humans over the Changeling’s appearance. When they had to be around humans to get food, they wore a beanie over their tentacles and used a pair of steampunk costume goggles they’d turned into glasses to hide their eyes. During this time, they consumed a very large number of books and came across the concept of families, which fascinated them. They also became addicted to caffeine, specifically coffee.

### Cholliflower Springs

Late in 2020, they decided to settle down in a town called Thalasso in rural Pennsylvania. Their second day there, they met Coryphanta Cholla and Eirlys Olsen, who were breaking into Nautilus’s house under the assumption that it had been abandoned. As Nautilus did not have a name at the time, Coryphanta gave the Changeling the name “Caff” because of how much caffeine he consumed. The three worked together to get supplies that day and Nautilus shared with them that they weren’t human, getting a positive and supportive response.

Nautilus spent more and more time Coryphanta and their gang of misfits after that, gaining a reputation for pulling dumb pranks, especially on those who insulted the commune Coryphanta had built there (Cholliflower Springs). Coryphanta and Nautilus had many heart to heart conversations as well, growing very very close and developing nicknames for the other. Nautilus would call Coryphanta “Cactus Cory” (or just “Cory”) while Coryphanta called him “Cafftopus”. Eventually, Nautilus asked Coryphanta for help coming up with his own name and he wound up choosing the name “Nautilus Loki Nokken.”

## The Gay Bus (2020 - )

### 2020

Later, Nautilus received an anonymous invite to a meeting for those who had survived the 2020 apocalypse. Nautilus set off on foot to take part in it. He made it two days away from his home before almost getting run over by Snazzy with the gay bus (currently inhabited only by Simon, Snazzy, and TomatoKid). After a lot of shouting, it was discovered that they were all going to the same place, and Snazzy grudgingly allowed Nautilus to join them, at least temporarily. From there, the four shared introductions, with Nautilus giving the name "Cafftopus" as he did not originally trust them.

Nautilus (now mainly referred to as "Caff") eventually became a permanent resident of the bus, traveling mainly with TK and his family across the remains of the world as their group expanded. It was through this that Nautilus eventually met and developed queer-platonic feelings towards Dinotaur. Eventually, after a lot of obliviousness from both parties involved, the two met their daughter from the future, Tiny, and that became the catalyst for the two confessing their feelings and becoming partners. Nautilus eventually grew close with TK as well, and Dino, TK, and Nautilus eventually became unofficially known as the Chaos Crew. The three bonded mainly over their chaotic natures, similar ages/maturity levels, origins, and love of pranks. As a result, both Dino and Nautilus became regular guests on TK's NewTube channel.

During these travels, Nautilus continued to keep in touch with his friend and siblings from Cholliflower Springs, often regaling them with stories and updates on his life on the Bus. Because of this, Coryphanta was eventually added to the group chat with a lot of the bus members and their allies.

### Travelling Break (2021)

Nautilus spent several months not just away from the Gay Bus, but the group chat, heading back to Pennsylvania to visit his siblings. His trip was mainly taken to visit his older brother, Nocue, who had temporarily returned from a resource gathering mission for Cholliflower Springs. The trip, however, ended up being lengthened by several months for several reasons, causing the original blackout from the group chat. Nautilus had just missed Nocue's return by a single day, and would have to wait a week for the android to return. During this time, a hurricane hit the Northeastern US, knocking out and destroying the cell service towers in and around Thalasso, essentially creating a service dead area in the middle of a much larger dead area. When Nocue eventually returned, a series of illnesses started passing through Cholliflower Springs, causing Nautilus (and all of the non-robotic members of the Commune) to fall very ill. Not long after, Nocue himself proceeded to have technical difficulties due to being active for several weeks without maintenance from taking care of the Commune. All of these things ended up severely delaying Nautilus's return to both the group chat, as there were very few people to help fix the cell service towers around Thalasso. Nautilus ended up leaving Thalasso not long after his recovery, and only wound up returning to the group chat not long after getting out of Pennsylvania.

The entire trip took around 8 months.

### Return (Early 2022)

Nautilus reached the Gay Bus gang not long after cell service was returned to Thalasso, and his first discovery was that a lot of things had gone on while he'd been gone. Mainly, the kidnapping and rescue of Jackson Signal. As there hadn't been any updates since the original plans for the trip to Hell, Nautilus checked in to see whether or not Jackson was ok. After receiving a positive answer from the ex-radio demon himself, the two had a brief conversation about the difficulties of typing with non-human physiology that ended with Nautilus eventually going over to learn more about Jackson's new abilities as a ghost.

# Appearance

As a Changeling, Nautilus is able to quickly physiologically adapt so that he can survive in any environment he is put in, and this results in minor shape-shifting abilities. Currently, he only has Aquatic and Land-Dwelling forms, both with several variations with subtle or no changes between variations. However, these may not be the only forms he can take, and only time will tell as to what other environment-specific forms he will discover.

Nautilus will usually wear a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved shirt (generally a patterned one and/or a turtleneck), a hoodie, cargo pants, converses, and at certain points, a beanie to cover his tentacles. He also has a pair of "glasses" that look more like a pair of steampunk safety goggles with tinted glass, though Nautilus is rarely seen with them anywhere but on top of his head, as that is where he's forgotten he placed them

(pictures incoming i swear--)

### Aquatic Form

Nautilus's aquatic form is the form he will take to adapt when living underwater, or being mostly submerged for at least three hours. This form was primarily used before his beaching and time at Area 7, though will typically return on days where Nautilus has gone swimming in suitable bodies of (non-pool chemically) water.

This form is humanoid in shape, with a head, two arms, two legs, two hands, two feet, 8 fingers, 8 toes, a neck, and a torso. His body is made mostly out of cartilage and similar tissues to a cephalopod, with the tissues being a constantly fluctuating combination of squishy (allowing greater flexibility and maneuverability, as well as generally squeezing into tight spaces) and hard cartilage (allowing for maneuverability, control, and ability to use his hands and feet). A lot of his features are specifically adapted for the water, however and are capable of adaptation between different kinds of water, water pressure levels, and light levels. The main identifying features that do not change much between adaptation variations are two large purple eyes on his face; a mouth full of short, needle-like teeth; a distinct lack of scales; gills on his neck; eight tentacles coming out of his head like hair that function as limbs and extra sensory organs; webs between his clawed fingers and toes; and fins along his arms, legs, and back. While Nautilus's skin usually tends to be extremely pale in this form, he can extend chromatophores beyond his tentacles and throughout the rest of his body so that it can also change colour and texture.

### Land-Dwelling

Nautilus's land dwelling form is significantly more humanoid, and has been used primarily since he was taken to Area 7, with significantly more variations to its design and functions that the Aquatic form (though most of these variations have to do with diet capabilities). In this form, Nautilus generally looks to be a pale-skinned young adult with purple eyes, blue tentacles for hair, a sharp nose, and long, thin fingers and feet. Nautilus also has ears in this form, and while they are usually pointed, there was a time where he rounded them. Nautilus's fingers tend to be very awkward and lean more towards his Aquatic form's version of them at times. His purple eyes tend to look the most similar to how they were when he first beached: with snake-like irises and black "whites" of his eyes; however, over time his irises became circular. There was also a period of intense insecurity where the white's of Nautilus's eyes became white instead of black as well, around the same time that his ears rounded out.

# Personality

In terms of personality, Nautilus can best be described in two words: anxious and prankster. This duality shows up throughout the rest of his personality as well, reflecting itself in his either outgoing and excited self or his shy and not very vocal self. The first usually comes out when and if he's comfortable with people and that part will stay out for better or worse for the rest of the time he knows that person. That version of him is cheery and almost never seems to show "negative" emotions. He jokes a lot and pulls/suggests pranks to hide his melancholy feelings. He's goofy and seems immature and out of touch with reality or the full depth of human emotion. The second version of him is much quieter, almost to the point of not speaking much at all. He seems a lot more like a blank empty slate than a person, let alone his "usual self." He'll read quite a lot and usually sticks to the shadows and the background if he has to interact with people. Neither version is really fully Nautilus, but a part of himself that he'll show instead that feels most comfortable in the current moment. He's pretty afraid that if he shows the full range of himself, the people he likes will abandon him again.

Nautilus cares very deeply about the people in his life, even if he struggles with expressing it at times. He's deeply protective of people he loves and will not hesitate to sacrifice anything he can to help them with even minor inconveniences, and can often be seen just hanging around his friends/family to keep them company or help them with tasks. He tends to come off as either extremely clingy, extremely helpful, or a nuisance, as his tendency for showing affection through pranks does not always make sense to other people. Because of this (as well as his difficulties understanding, relating to, and trusting others), Nautilus is rarely social, preferring to stick with his known group of friends, particularly the Chaos Crew. As a result of this, he tends to have numerous people he "squishes" on, or wants to get to know better, but simply is too scared to so he does not (an example of this is his relationship with Grey the Horrible: an amicable relationship that has not progressed deeper despite Nautilus's deep curiosity in the other.)

Nautilus, as much as he craves stability, is not one to stay in one place for very long, his aquatic heritage giving him a deep sense of wanderlust and a need to always be moving that always gets interpreted as his ADHD. He is constantly on the move, constantly travelling and discovering and tends to get rather sad if he feels "stuck" somewhere. There are, however, places and people he will always return to time after time, and he calls that "home." Nautilus's nomadic lifestyle is what first introduced him to the Gay Bus crew, and what led him to stay with them beyond what was strictly necessary given how much he felt he could trust them.

That, and his deep curiosity about things within the group. He's always been a deeply curious individual who loves picking things apart to see how they work, be that people or objects. It can be a bit of a problem, as he is the sort to go looking at the interesting new thing before thinking about what to do if it's dangerous, and this has had a lot of very disastrous results over the course of his lifetime. After his time at Area 7, he's shown a bit more caution, but is still considerably reckless.

# Abilities, Skills, and Powers

* Nautilus is able to unconsciously and sub-consciously change his body to adapt and survive in any environment. This adaptation is generally fairly slow and not very pretty or the best at blending in unless Nautilus's insecurities come in to play (i.e. the colour of the whites of his eyes changing from black to white and back again). This process does not seem to follow the law of the conservation of matter at times, occasionally resulting in him loosing or gaining limbs, growing bones despite previously being cartilage, and physiological traits that do not make sense in any way.
* In addition to adapting his body to survive in different environments, he is also capable of adapting his body to be capable of intaking new foods and substances. This process is painful and often leaves him unable to do much while his body adapts, but it does mean that he could hypothetically eat a rock.
* As a result of being part octopus, Nautilus's hair contains chromatophores that change colour and pattern depending on his emotional state or for camouflage is.
* Nautilus is a voracious reader capable of reading books faster than most. He is also capable of learning new languages extremely fast simply through auditory exposure.
* Nautilus is also able to hear noises at both higher and lower frequencies than normal humans.
* The amount of coffee he consumes in a day while repressing all emotions and having several anxiety disorders while still being able to function is a power in and of itself.
* He was trained to be an assassin and thus knows an awful lot about how to kill a human in hand to hand combat without a weapon.

# Friends, “Family”, Relationships, etc.

## Cholliflower Springs Commune

Cholliflower Springs was one of the first places Nautilus began thinking of as an actual home for himself. Even though he'd been planning on staying permanently in Thalasso, Cholliflower Springs was the first place that gave him a solid reason to. Within a day of coming into contact with them, the two members of the Commune he'd met, Coryphanta Cholla (founder and de facto "Leader") and Eirlys Olsen, had been more kind than he'd ever seen a living person be to someone like him in his life. He soon formed a tentative alliance with them, and then informally joined them, admiring the familial and friendly environment they'd garnered and how well they worked together to help each other out. His relationship with Coryphanta deepened, and he grew to view Coryphanta and their older sibling Nocpart of his own sort of family unit. He trusts both deeply, and despite not knowing even half of the commune's members particularly well, trusts the entire commune not to hurt him purposefully.

### Coryphanta Cholla

Coryphanta Cholla is a humanoid cactus who met Nautilus in 2020. Coryphanta and their fellow Cholliflower Springs member Eirlys Olsen broke into the house Nautilus had been occupying in Thalasso, both under the assumption that it was unoccupied and abandoned and thus free for scavenging. Coryphanta had been exploring the second floor of the house by themself when they caught sight of a terrified (and human-passing) Nautilus coming down from their attic bedroom to investigate the noise. Surprised, Coryphanta chased after him, and accidentally cornered him in the attic, not realising that Nautilus was terrified of them. Quickly, Coryphanta figured out that Nautilus was living in the house, and that they'd just broken into his house and scared him. After apologizing and introducing themself, Coryphanta learned that Nautilus did not have a name, and eventually came up with the moniker "Caff" because of a nearby cup of tea. They then introduced him to Eirlys, and Nautilus offered to let them use the resources from his house to trade for food at the supermarket.

Over the course of the day, Coryphanta and Nautilus proceeded to bond, with Nautilus growing increasingly fascinated with how casual and confident the older was with not being human and the negative attention in garnered. Coryphanta did not originally pick up on this, instead thinking Nautilus had just never seen a non-human before and informing him that he was allowed to ask questions about what they were instead of simply staring. Nautilus then proceeded to reveal his own non-human traits to Coryphanta and Eirlys, leading both to offer him a spot in their commune, which is a safe place for people of all species and races. Nautilus agreed to visit the next day, and over the course of a few months, began to develop a very close bond with Coryphanta. The two gave each other nicknames, and Coryphanta brought Nautilus out of his shell by not just teaching him how to prank, but introducing him to their older sibling, Nocue. Coryphanta also helped Nautilus pick his name, Nautilus Nokken, as well as giving him the nickname he used as an alias when he first met the Gay Bus crew: Cafftopus.

Nautilus trusts Coryphanta quite a lot, and looks up to them a lot as well. The two are very close, and would both describe their relationship as sibling-like instead of "friendship". Nautilus is one of the few people who have seen Coryphanta outside of the tough outer shell they portray as well as their checkered history, and in return, Coryphanta is the only person Nautilus has told the full extent of his past. The two keep in touch regularly via text message and phone calls, particularly after Nautilus left Thalasso and encountered the Gay Bus Crew, and Coryphanta was one of the first to hear about his feelings towards Dinotaur and helped him figure them out. Both siblings share a deep love of reading and the outdoors, particularly plants, and will regularly reccomend each other books or shout about whatever cool new thing they learned about their plant topic of interest (Coryphanta is fond of trees, while Nautilus loves aquatic plant life as they remind him of home).

### Nocuebot

Nocuebot, or simply Nocue, is Coryphanta's android ex-babysitter and older sibling figure. Nocue met Nautilus through Coryphanta off-screen at some point during *Coronasona Tales, Volume One: Nautilus*, and while the two have not yet had any written or role-played on screen interactions, both Nautilus and Nocue are very close due to how close they both are to Coryphanta. Nautilus views Nocue as their very weird, very cool older sibling or brother, and while he hasn't told Nocue the entire story about his past, he's told the android enough that they've bonded over shared crimes they've committed, as well as how much they miss their respective homes. Nocue rarely spends time in either Thalasso or Cholliflower Springs, as he is a travelling trader among other things, but after their original meeting, Nautilus and Nocue texted each other frequently to talk with each other further. Nocue was an unconscious inspiration to Nautilus to actually leave Thalasso and start travelling himself, though neither party have realised this yet.

### Eirlys Olsen

Eirlys Olsen is a Cholliflower Springs member Nautilus met and befriended in 2020 as a result of an unintentional breaking and entering on the part of Eirlys and Coryphanta. Eirlys was originally exploring the downstairs area of the house, Nautilus only hearing her voice as she and Coryphanta talked before he was discovered. Eirlys was the first to catch on to the subtle clues that Nautilus was not human, and while she did not explicitly express it, she tried to inquire into his past and vaguely offer to be there if Nautilus should need her during their grocery store trip. When Nautilus did eventually reveal what he was, she assured him that Cholliflower Springs was a safe place for him to stay or seek out if he wanted or needed. While this was their only on-screen canonical interaction in *Nautilus*, Eirlys and Nautilus continued to bond during his time in Thalasso and Cholliflower Springs.

Nautilus views her as a good friend and trustworthy source of prank ideas if he cannot think of any himself. He also loves to freak her out by consuming something that should not be consumable or by chugging quantities of concentrated caffeine that would be fatal to the non-magical life-forms such as himself. Since Nautilus has left Thalasso, Eirlys occasionally checks in on him via text. The two joke that Eirlys acts like Nautilus's mother due to how often she tries to monitor his caffeine consumption, though both consider their relationship to be more cousin-like if forcibly labelled anything more specific than friendship.

Nautilus trusts Eirlys the same way he would all other members of Cholliflower Springs, even the ones he does not know, and would probably die for her if the situation called for it. Despite this however, he has not talked about his past further than vague details with her. He intended to at three different points, twice during his initial stay in Thalasso and Cholliflower Springs, and once after a bad day on the road after he'd left, but backed out at the last second all three times.

## Gay Bus Crew

Nautilus met the Gay Bus Crew in 2020, almost getting run over by Snazzy in his bus towards the end of *Coronasona Tales, Volume One: Nautilus*. At the time, the group only consisted of Snazzy, Detective Cheeseman, TK, and the bus, and since both travelling parties were headed to the same location at the time, Nautilus was allowed to travel with them by request of the Detective. Nautilus originally gave them the name "Cafftopus," not really expecting to be with them long or even particularly trusting the group despite his fascination with their dynamics. He never really left though, and eventually, after a while of expansion on the Gay Bus, Nautilus eventually told them his real name, as well as introduce them to Coryphanta. He does not know all of the members of the Gay Bus members, and while he generally would trust them and die for them as he would the Cholliflower Springs members, has a general instinct to be wary of pranks or people such as Demon, whose pasts have been about as kind as they tend to be.

### TomatoKid

TomatoKid, or TK, is one of Nautilus's perhaps closest friends as well as a sort of sibling due to weird heritage things (?). The two originally met at the end of Nautilus, with Detective Cheeseman introducing the two. From there, the two became good friends, Nautilus helping TK with their NewTube channel and pranks on Snazzy and others. Nautilus views himself as one of TK's partner's in crime, and enjoys coming up with general prank ideas for the two to do, even if he never ends up suggesting them.

### Dinotaur

Dinotaur is Nautilus's QPP, with whom he will have an adoptive daughter named Valentine, or "Tiny" at some point in the future. They are both idiots who are oblivious and also eat things that should not be consumed. Nautilus is probably the only one of the two who can safely eat those things though. Probably.

### Valentine

Valentine ("Tiny") is the adoptive daughter Nautilus has with Dinotaur in the future. No further information has been recorded on their relationship.

### Grey the Horrible

Grey the Horrible and Nautilus have not interacted beyond brief conversations in roleplay, however Nautilus has a bit of an unspoken squish and fascination towards the other because of their similar pasts and physical abilities.

# More Info and Trivia

* Nautilus's date of birth is November 13, the day of the death of Unus Annus. When we celebrate Nautilus's birth, we mourn the death of a legend.
* Nautilus was born from these three emoticons: 😨☕🐙
* Nautilus is Aromantic!
* He also has ADHD and is autistic
* Nautilus is an avid reader. The first book he ever read was Matilda by Roald Dahl, and his favorite book series is Lisa McMann's The Unwanteds.
	+ He hates The Unwanteds: Quests with a burning passion and will rant about how horrible it is to anyone who listens. The absolute highlight of his life was when Nocue found a fanfiction reimagining AU of the Quests series that was, in Nautilus's words, "making the sequel series a bearable experience to have been through."
* Coryphanta, Nocue, and Nautilus have a sibling Group Chat where they send each other memes, generally be chaotic, and remind each other of important things they need to do. Usually, that is sleep. Nautilus is almost tied with Nocue for role of the most messages sent in the group chat due to his habit of spamming random facts or thoughts in the group chat instead of sleeping while Nocue attempts to stop him.
* Caff is the first coronasona created by Reynie, as well as the first to properly receive a written and published backstory from Reynie (*Coronasona Tales, Volume One: Nautilus*).
* He is rediculously hard to accurately make in picrews and in avatar makers in general pls help--
