 **Kepler Solarowl** is a Moon District CRiTORA and a member of the Planetary Pals who ended up in the Abnormal District, as well as one of the protagonists of *CRiTORA: abnormal*.

## Bio

**The Solar System CRiTORA.** Kepler is the tenth and oldest of the Planetary Pals, serving as the wise parent-like figure of the group. Kepler owned the Cosmic Center of the Waymilk Isle, home to their famed telescope and books of knowledge. Soon, they were separated from the other nine pals to a place of unknown origin. They must work with Caroline and Isaac to find their way out, but will they ever see the other Planetary Pals again?

## Physical appearance

Kepler is an avian CRiTORA resembling an owl. Their head is primarily purple, and they have two mismatched fuchsia ears and a light pink beak. Their body is black and cylindrical, adorned with a pale pink moon pattern. Their legs, rounded in shape, are fuchsia, as are their wings, the latter also possessing black accents. They also have a small bushy purple tail. They wear a pair of black goggles with pink frames and have a scar running down from their right eye.

### V-Kepler

As V-Kepler, their body structure is vastly different, now resembling that of a jester. Their head is now split into two segments, one cyan and one black, with an off-white tuft of hair and an elongated beak. Their right eye is now cyan with a rectangular pupil, while the left is a more simplistic half-closed eye with a thin scar. Similar to their head, their torso is rounded and split into black and cyan segments. Their long, black arms, connected by off-white diamond-shaped shoulders, end in cyan hands, each with three dark teal fingers and a moon pattern. Additionally, a pair of long, dark teal growths resembling puppet strings protrude from the shoulders. V-Kepler's lower body consists of a rounded segment resembling dark teal pants with off-white trim, and ends in two mismatched feet: one cyan and rounded, the other off-white and more geometric.

### Abilities

* **Ice Blocks** - Kepler can create blocks of ice out of thin air.
* **Frozen Enhancements** - Kepler can enhance other CRiTORA with ice-based abilities.
* **Icicle Pierce** - Kepler can form icicles on their wings to pierce things with.
* **Lunar Eyes** - Kepler can fire neon pink lasers from their eyes that can burn things, including the ice they make.
* **Solar Asteroid** - Kepler creates a small asteroid to launch at enemies.

## Trivia

* They were created as a replacement of  Osmehel Solsym.
* Their infected form was designed by Daydreaming Birdie and was inspired by Pinocchio, as well as concept designs for V-Osmehel, their predecessor.
	+ V-Kepler was also inspired by Puppetmon from the *Digimon* franchise and Jevil and Spamton G. Spamton from *Deltarune*.
* Kepler has been depicted twice as a costume:
	+ By Spottie, who wears one modeled after them and Osmehel (CRiTORA incarnation and Choonieverse incarnation) in Daydreaming Birdie's Glitch-o-Ween 2023 drawing.
	+ By  Morgan Morrow (from LastyGhost's  *Fugitive Eagleton*) in her Halloween 2023 drawing and non-CRiTORA cover art of  *Birds (Neo)*.

### Design origins

Kepler is based on an owl and the concept of the Solar System. Part of their design is drawn from Osmehel's late 2022 appearance.

### Name origins

They are named after Johannes Kepler, a renowned German astronomer and mathematician. Their last name comes from *Solar* and *Owl*.
