## Overview

Swift is a hedgehog who had little to no funds but always found a way to make money.

One day he discovered a scientist who needs help with experiments with a big cash prize in return.

After that he was never the same person again.

## Biography

Swift was down on his luck with making money and saw a "help wanted" post with a massive monetary reward but with a catch...

The catch being that they'd have to stay for a week to undergo tests and move onto a "bigger" experiment.

He'd have to undergo different experiments with a Scientist named "Hyde".

Hyde is running tests with a unidentifiable sludge that was found on a meteor that crash landed on the planet a couple of weeks back.

Swift Reluctantly goes with hopes of getting back on his feet with the cash.

He shows up but there are already 2 other people there before him.

Robust a tough armadillo who has always outshined Swift since they were kids and Floret a cat who always followed Robust anywhere he goes regardless of what the task is.

Hyde decides to split the money between the three advocates IF they stay for a week to run tests.

Hyde runs test on all of them to make sure they are all in good health during the week.

With all the tests done they were onto the "bigger" experiment that was advertised for the cash reward.

Swift is the First and only to go into a egg-shaped pod since he was surprisingly the best advocate according to the test results.

For the first few seconds of the machine being on it worked perfectly fine.

Halfway through though the machine started malfunctioning but instead of turning it off Hyde decided to continue with it.

The other two watched in horror as Swift's body began to change into different colors and with a strange red lightning bolt forming across his chest.

Smoke began covering the room and they couldn't see what was going on within the room and at that moment Hyde finally decided to turn the machine off but for Swift it was a bit too late.

After the machine was turned off a there was a loud "BANG!" that came from within the room.

After the smoke cleared there was Swift standing in the middle of the room and not within the pod anymore and was staring at them through the protective glass.

Swift's body had changed into a sludgy black substance and had a strange outline around him and wasn't really himself anymore but was Rift the Symbiote who attached himself to Swift.
