## ZombiCyder

* Artwork
* Skin

### Aliases

Zombi/Cyder (Interchangeably by everyone)

## Lore Info

Cyder's Orchard, Foundational Nether Pathing.

## Physiology

### Appearance

ZombiCyder is an unusually well-kept walking corpse. Standing at 6'4". He wears a faded, red plaid coat over their black sweatshirt. Patchworked dark gray-blue denim jeans held up with a tanned leather belt. Wearing Steel Toed/Spiked Crimson Black Shoes. Their skin is ghoulish pale with a hint of green. With multiple bruises and stitches strewn around their body. Their mouth is kept in a permanent smile, which is out of their control.

### Biology

Due to ZombiCyder's body halting its decaying process, whether by some curse or some abnormal will to live. It's no surprise he has gained some Pros and Cons within this catatonic bodily state.

* Photoallergic
* A ravenous need for raw food
* Not needing to breathe
* Severely weak to Smite and Paladins
* Loss of need of Sleep
* Memory Loss

Not much is known about their past life traits. But it seems to appear they were much more.. Stable.

## Personality

ZombiCyder has an eccentric and sarcastic attitude, lacking any manners or understanding of social cues. Their favorite proclaimed part of themselves is their overwhelming ego. They think of themselves as superior. And any say so otherwise is ignored or an invocation for a violent dispute.

### Flaws

ZombiCyder's main flaw is his constant, unhinged bantering. Whether intentional or not. It makes ZombiCyder hard to be around, though the silver lining for some would be that his streams of words lead to interesting information.

Along with a slight need to have the center of attention.

### D&D alignment

ZombiCyder hangs on the thread of Chaotic Neutral. Their violent attitude and unstable behavior, although semi-passive conversation with residents keeps him more or less encounterable without a shield.

## History

Not much is known about ZombiCyder, nor does he know much about himself. Waking up in the ruins of SpruceShire in an abandoned Mineshaft. He had woken up and began to explore his surroundings until the Temple appeared.

## Timeline

**Episode 1: What Remains:** ZombiCyder had pushed his way into the center of the group, proclaiming that he owned the temple, under the pretense 'He was there first,' Throwing spears and generating discord in the group. Before splitting off with Popper after discovering A Classic and Loose Ends.

Later on, ZombiCyder promised to bring Popper to SpruceShire, though inevitably leaving mid-way and returning to his Orchard.

**Episode 2: Old Friends, Old Rivals:** ZombiCyder was enticed to join the inhabitants of afterglow in their antics, bringing an unnecessary amount of supplies with him. Following them through the Nether and to an Ice Spikes Lab, self-proclaiming it as his own to spite Manta, and building his own tent and base of operations. Upon seeing a fleeing Final and Hamilton, he followed them back to Spawn for what seemed to be the hell of it. Proceeding with the ending antics.

Subplot: ZombiCyder had made a tent near Olive's Greenhouse, through his unappreciated need to disobey and intrude on someone's wishes. Witnessing Final being taken away by a Shadow Entity and Hamilton defeated. Who later requested Cyder to take him to the Ice Spikes Lab under the agreement he would get to punch Final for planting sugarcane. Making fun of Hamilton and his defeat through the journey, before returning to Spawn and fleeing after what he assumed to be a mob after him. Though later found out it was a search party gathering to find the abducted Final. Phoenix grows suspicious of ZombiCyder's knowledge.
