Spooo/Dani's Soul Catalyst

"*No one ever trusted me, Zidious never trusted me, so what does that mean* you *should think of me? Neither trusting me or not trusting me is the correct answer, but avoiding being a traitor.*

*A traitor... means death.*"

## Personality

### Post-Catalyst

Maintains a reputation for being polite, however, this is just a mask he keeps around others. He sometimes takes advantage of this to immensely irritate someone who displeases him.

Attempts to be polite to the rowdy young wardens, but secretly rants about them behind their backs. Is the type of person you can expect to be friendly one minute... then twirling a knife the next.

Serious and overall cold when angered. Can betray an "ally" in an instant once discovering they are a threat. If he's your teacher, don't irritate him if you value your life, he *will* blast you. Loneliness also contributed to how he responds to others.

Mysterious and secretive around those he does not feel obliged to be polite to, but kind to those who he trusts. It's impossible to tell if he actually considers the wardens in charge of him or the other way around, especially since he has his own code of conduct. Even the Ancient themselves doesn't know if they're in control of him.

He has quite the dark side, sadistically taking pleasure in murder as the Catalyst does not allow him to harm himself. He does not often torture his victims, wanting to end things cleanly and quickly, but will depending on *who* is being killed. He has quite the knowledge on poisons and weapons, despite never seeming to carry any besides his hand-crafted Wyvern Dagger...

However, he does have a playful side which shows while shapeshifted, yet he despises being addressed as cute as well as being treated like a cat.

To those he cares deeply enough, he can be quite protective... and defensive. He's always afraid of his relationships falling apart, but never exactly enjoyed affection due to Shadow and past trauma. Due to this, he finds it difficult to tolerate affection coming with relationships and feels as if he's pushing others away too often - yet if he doesn't, the Catalyst uses this as a vantage point to take control, often leading to him hating people *because* he loves them.

### Former

He's rather emotionally unstable, backing out of arguments, and incredibly self-conscious. He seems to regret his past actions, but it's hard to be certain. However, he seems to be gradually recovering from events that took place in his life, as he's able to freely talk to Faith, Connor, and Hunter about past events. He has a slight form of jealousy towards Dani and Jade.

He occasionally has moments where he cannot think at all, torn between what he would normally do and what he would actually do.

### Current

His emotional instability is worse, and he desperately tries to hide it by slipping into his previous routine. He's more easily affected by what others say about him, pretending not to care but in reality, adds it to the reasons why he should delve deeper into self-hatred. He's incredibly unsure how he should feel about his family, and avoids Juniper and Hilda whenever possible.

He's taken up a habit of committing self-harm often, suicide becoming something he thinks of often. Whenever someone comments about one of his behaviors he struggles in figuring out if they're actually right... or if it was the result of the elementals using him as a puppet. Trauma from Elemental Balance scares him more than it used to guide him, to the point he avoids certain emotions or behaviors, regardless of people telling him it's normal.

He feels oppressive guilt, but doesn't bother trying to seek forgiveness - he knows he's not going to receive it. Hunter haunting and harassing him only strengthens this belief, dragging him into self-isolation and social dysfunctionality.

Is it possible for him to ever recover?

Most likely not.

He would chase storms as a child. Running across plains as they were soaked by torrential downpours, laughing as he slid and skittered across the ground. Droplets kicked into the air in his wake, splashing onto the plant life, bending grass and leaf. He was never deterred by the threat of the lightning and thunder, the great flash and the (at the time) incomprehensible boom. He loved how it appeared, striking something far out of sight, changing a factor in the whole of the Earth, and leaving without elaboration to find something else to hit. Wherever lightning struck, it would leave a great impact, one remembered and locked away- secrets beneath soil. It was his inspiration as the tests for his tech began- to be the lightning that changed his own future.

// \* there was no point at all in doing anything, and i know that now.

// \* millions of me would proceed to force me to fulfill my future.

// \* they wanted to guarantee themselves in all of infinity. so do i.

// \* an infallible hope for humanity- that all versions of myself will continue to live.

// \* constant peace. immortality. whatever, medium it took, no cloud would die- unless the timeline were built to create that outcome. then we would do nothing.

// \* and because i have infinite time to do whatever i want,

// \* and infinite opportunities to complete my objective,

// \* i am at the top of the world. the place where the lightning meets the clouds- the heavens that i once fantasized of seeing.

// \* and the worst part is, i can't change that.

// \* i began my work with changing my own timeline. if any version of me outside of the primus timeline had attempted to end this
 constant parade of time-traveling universal debauchery by killing the root, i wouldn't be alive to watch reality unfold and collapse because of my choice, right before my eyes... eyes?

// \* i

// \* can't see.

// \* i can't see myself going on anymore.

// \* i can't be saved

// \* alone in nowhere
