 **Debut** | TBA

**Limelight** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Yperifáneiakaichará Polyhedron from the planet Taxíditouegó.

## Appearance

Limelight is a crystalline alien with the appearance of a segmented desaturated yellow gemstone, featuring a small tuft of hair emerging from the top of his head and four gray segmented, metallic tentacles in place of any proper arms and legs. Limelight's face only consists of a pair of small eyes with dark outlines that extend downwards towards the black and red belt wrapped around his body. Whenever Limelight gains enough power, his body radiates an incredibly bright aura of glowing bright green energy.

Limelight wears the Simplicitrix on his belt, with the hourglass symbol becoming swirled and warped in his powered form.

## Powers

* Limelight can manipulate the sin of pride, as well as induce others with pride, which he can use in order to cause others to become egotistical and narcissistic that they refuse helping their allies with the belief that they are simply superior compared to them and shouldn't be the one taking orders, which can be most notably used most effectively against species capable of self-duplication in order to turn their own replicants against one another.
	+ Through the combination of being empowered through his own pride and externally absorbing light in order to fuel himself, Limelight can enter an empowered form that both heightens his pride manipulation and grants him powerful applications of light manipulation, such as creating photokinetic constructs, flying through the air using light, generating homunculi minions made out of light, and converting any absorbed light into pure energy that he can use for offensive means. His powered form gives him self-sustenance, ensuring his stamina won't run out as quickly as before, and a natural immunity against environmental-based attacks.
* Limelight can refract pure energy through using his crystalline physiology.
* Limelight can telepathically communicate with others as compensation for his natural lack of a mouth.
* Limelight has enhanced durability, speed, agility, and intelligence, capable of rolling around and climbing up surfaces using his extendable tentacles.

## Weaknesses

* Limelight's crystalline physiology is prone towards sonic frequencies that can shatter him apart.
* Limelight's pride manipulation would have no effect on opponents who cannot feel emotion, including pride itself.
* Limelight's powered form can be depleted and negated through those capable of light and energy absorption.
* Limelight's energy refraction is much less accurate compared to other species capable of doing so themselves, such as Aetherisapiens and Crystalsapiens.

## Etymology

* Limelight can refer to both the focus of public attention, and actual light, referencing his empowered form's abilities.
* Limelight's species name is the Greek translation of "pride and joy."
* Limelight's planet name is the Greek translation of "ego trip."

## Trivia

* Limelight was drawn and suggested by Shark, with his design being made using Chaselon from *DC Comics*.
* Limelight is the second transformation to have powers based off one of the seven deadly sins, with the first being Envyathan.
