Amphiptheater

**Debut** | TBA

**Amphiptheater** *(alternatively spelled Amphiptheatre)* is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Essevelnonesse Idestquaestio from the planet In'Phantasma De'Opera, orbiting the planet of Regiis-Reptilium. She is a free-use alien originally made by WTB.

## Appearance

Amphiptheater is a feminine reptilian humanoid with serpent-like features, the left side of their body mostly covered in pale purple scales, and the right side of their body mostly covered in pale green scales, while the tops of their heads and claws are a pale blue. Amphiptheater have gaunt faces with the corners of their mouths stretching to the sides of their heads, prominent cheekbones, visible fangs, slit nostrils, an enormous mane of hair that turns blue on the right side, and pink on the left side, three fingers on each hand, two toes on each digitigrade foot, and a very short tail that end in pale blue fins, while her right head has a frowning neutral expression with red eyes and black pupils, and her left head has a smirking expression with black eyes and red pupils. Her outfit consists of a stylized brown and tan dress with spiked shoulders, bright red streams of cloth coming from her shoulders to the back of her heels, and angular lines down her chest and stomach, large spiked earrings on each head that resemble snake fangs, black and red cloth over her necks, a tan loincloth, red and black wristbands, brown open-toed boots, and circular black and red patterns on her sternum, pelvis, and shins, resembling ornamental doily mats.

Amphiptheater wears a pair of Simplicitrix symbols on each of her heads' foreheads.

## Personality

Amphiptheater is astonishingly melodramatic, pouring her heart out into all of her performances, always becoming so emotionally moved by the performances by others no matter how simplistic or genuinely ridiculous they actually are, and silently judging others that doesn't take any of them seriously. Her two heads respect and adore one another's presence so much so they typically may even finish each other's sentences, although they may break down into arguments that stem from creative differences, or the rare instance of conflicting opinions.

## Powers

* The left side of Amphiptheater's body can induce attraction through the generation of biological magnetism from her respective nervous system, pulling biological lifeforms towards herself or others, magnetizing individuals to surfaces, either trapping them against the ground or allowing them to cling to vertical surfaces, or manipulating whatever currently has their attention through making something, such as a select person, attract the focus of anyone nearby, making them desirable.
* The right side of Amphiptheater's body can induce repulsion through the generation of biological magnetism from her respective nervous system, pushing biological lifeforms away from herself or others, demagnetizing individuals from surfaces, either causing them to fall over or negating others' abilities to climb up walls, or manipulating whatever currently has their attention through making something, such as a select person, repulse the focus of anyone nearby, making them a social pariah.
	+ Through the harmonization of both abilities at once, Amphiptheater can manipulate biological magnetism entirely and utilize its applications, including levitation through magnetic propulsion, invisibility through making others avert away from her, and augmenting the magnetism-based abilities of others, such as Lodestar's ferromagnetism, Pyrrhamid's geomagnetism, and Nudge Nudge Wink Wink's diamagnetism.
* Amphiptheater is naturally a master at performance arts, including acting, singing, and dancing, with her bio-magnetism manipulation able to attract audiences for her and move actors onto and off stage, her dense fog breath able to create smokescreens that can allow for scene transitions, and her photographic memory allowing to instantly recall any fine details about previous performances and rehearsals, including lines.
	+ Amphiptheater becomes bigger and stronger the more popular or unpopular that she becomes through her performances, as the mental stimulation unleashes stored growth hormones to promote, with popularity primarily enhancing her left side, and unpopularity primarily enhancing her right side.
* Amphiptheater has malleable anatomy and prehensile jaws that can stretch open and enhance her vocal pitch.
* Amphiptheater has enhanced strength, durability, speed, reflexes, senses, namely scent and touch, stealth, and synesthesia that allow her to perceive emotions, scents, and soundwaves as colorful lights in the air.

## Weaknesses

* Amphiptheater's bio-magnetism has no effect on actual metals, only the magnetic fields produced by living beings.
* Amphiptheater's bio-magnetism can be disrupted and negated by the neurokinesis of Nervi'Nervosis.
* Amphiptheater's attention manipulation increases and decreases in power dependent on the distance between herself and the receiver, and will deactivate completely after around half a mile.
* Amphiptheater's harmonization requires agreement between the two heads, meaning if either of them disagrees with the other, they cannot harmonize.
* Amphiptheater's popularity and unpopularity empowerment cannot be both used at once, as the nature of these abilities will cancel each other.
* Amphiptheater's enhanced synesthesia cannot differentiate emotions, scents, and soundwaves from one another, only visualizing their movement, nature, and intensity, meaning she must rely on her senses to do so.

## Etymology

* Amphiptheater's name is a three-way pun on "amphisbaena," "amphiptere," and "ampitheater," referring to her masterful performance skills and ability to attract entire audiences at will.
* Amphiptheater's species name is the Latin translation of "to be, or not to be, that is the question," the opening phrase of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, arguably not only one of the most famous plays of all time, but one of his most famous quotes.
* Amphiptheater's planet name is the Latin translation of "the phantom of the opera," one of the most famous musicals of all time, and a reference to her biomagnetic invisibility, which ironically doesn't actually make her invisible.

## Trivia

* Amphiptheater's green and purple color scheme references Zak and Wheezie from *Dragon Tales*.
* Amphiptheater's different neutral facial expressions were inspired by Melpomene and Thalia, the ancient Greek muses known nowadays for being represented as the comedy and tragedy masks of theater drama.
* Amphiptheater's attraction and repulsion powers were originally gravitational in nature, although changed to bio-magnetism for originality's sake.
* Amphiptheater's attention manipulation was given the fanon "kinesis" term of "Prosochíkinesis," as any other available name for them wasn't listed anywhere on their affiliated page on the Superpower Wiki.
* Like Tantrum, Breath Penalty, Stomache, Skellerina, Kitty Splitter, MaTrix, Capturrific, Liesight, Dovahskiin, KobOld Fashioned, Titty Titty Bang Bang, Murphy's Maw, Kanjiration, Headstrong, Pretzelcoatl, Liczard, Thunder Thighs, Cindurance, Defenderm, Draguardian Angel, Draconomaly, and Primalfunction, Amphiptheater comes from the same planet as Dragon Queen, mainly originating from one of their planet's moons, explaining the similarities in design, abilities, and the fact all of them are exclusively female due to their genetic similarities.
	+ However, while Dragon Queen is a humanoid dragon, Amphiptheater is a humanoid amphisbaena, which is a mythological, ant-eating serpent with a head at each end of its body, evident by her possession of two heads, serpentine traits, and natural appetite for insects.
	+ Amphiptheater was originally suggested to be a humanoid amphiptere, a mythological two-winged serpent, although some elements of this idea, such as the name and the ability of biomagnetokinetic levitation replacing flight, did make into the final version.
* In an odd way, Amphiptheater pays homage to *RWBY*. When WTB mentioned the fog smokescreen power, Blake jokingly asked if the alien also had doilies. This is a nod to the dance in *RWBY* Volume 2, in which Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long had a disagreement over the former wanting doilies and the latter wanting fog machines for decorations.
