# **General Description**

**Dr Apatite** is a **morally grey scientist.** Dr Apatite researches things closely knitted with nature, covering topics heavy in **biology, geology and chemistry**. His role is played as a **scientist** that constantly questions the meaning and value of life, along with having an obsession with the concept of time and death.

# **Abilities**

* **Emotional/Thought Regulation** Dr Apatite is able to find a **balance** between his thoughts and emotions by **switching interchangeably between his more emotional and thoughtful sides** to accommodate to situations quickly. He is capable of switching ‘on and off’ **his potential affections, feelings, and empathy for certain people.** Dr Apatite belives that in most situations, there is a time and place for everything, and the same goes for his heart and his logic, which he is capable of interchangeably prioritising one over the other depending on the appropriate scenario. Things for him can go from warm and fuzzy to a flat emptiness in his chest if he deems it necessary for appropriate judgement.
* **Mimicry** Dr Apatite is capable of using the more empathetic side of his thought processing to **understand the thoughts and emotions** of those he has observed. This allows him to act l**ike a replica of the person he chooses to mimic**, and also be able to **understand and predict the likely next course of actions** his subject of mimicry may carry out.
* **Manipulation & Deception** Dr Apatite is **incredibly skilled** at **making up alibis and lies to cover up his deeds,** especially with the supernatural. He shows **no remorse in lying his teeth out** for his **own personal gain.** He knows the right ways to intimidate someone just as much as he knows the right ways to build up a false sense of trust and comfort with others.
* **Longevity** Dr Apatite achieved somewhat immortality, or at least a form of longevity, thanks to the effects of Project:GRADE. As long as Dr Apatite **fuels himself with a sustainable source of energy,** such as heat energy from warm food, he is **capable of sustaining himself for an extended amount of years** compared to the regular human being.
* **Increased Resistance** After the effects of Project:GRADE, Dr Apatite has shown an **increased resistance** to **chemical radiation, UV radiation, water pressure, extreme weather temperatures,** and **physical damage.**

# **Preferences**

* **Likes** Dr Apatite has shown an **affinity for the concepts of time, death, philosophy and science.** He also **really likes cheesy food** like lasagna, pizzas and cheese fries. Has a **hobby for confusing people** enough for it to **technically be considered a silly prank.**
* **Dislikes** **Axe body spray.** It gives him war flashbacks to the times he had to spend in the highschool locker room where he had to witness the boys skipping showers and sharing the same axe body spray amongst each other. It was horrendous. Traumatic, even. Dr Apatite also **heavily dislikes abusers and manipulators**, despite being a manipulator himself. (Not an abuser.)

# **Appearance**

* **Physical Appearance**Dr Apatite is a 175cm tall man with light brown skin. He has middle-length, dark blue, somewhat curly hair that appears yellow under a UV light. His eyes are a cool gray/gray blue colour which appears as yellow under UV light. He appears to be relatively racially ambiguous. He does not have genitals.

* **Clothes** Has a tendency to wear more masculine clothings to **‘balance out his androgyny’**, as quoted from Dr Apatite himself, having a simple fondness for the balance of his own traits. He has a preference for wearing dark gray and black labcoats to suits and ties for formal wear. In more casual settings, he is typically seen wearing a short-sleeved buttoned up shirt/blouse and black shorts or pants.

* **Disguise** Dr Apatite disguises himself to **appear more ‘average’** amongst everyone he knows to **avoid suspicion that he is no longer fully human.** He wears a **short length, dark brown wig,** and **hazel-coloured contact lenses** to do so. He also attempts to wear more casual clothings to fit in.

# **Personality**

**Dr Apatite** tends to be **pretty inconsistent,** sometimes helping people out **without expecting anything in return**, and helping others out **with an ulterior motive in mind.** It makes Dr Apatite somewhat **unpredictable in nature.** He can be quite the **jokester** in nature, with mostly **childish and ‘immature’ humour,** paired with **meme references,** which can get chaotic pretty fast and is typically **attributed with the more emotional side of his personality.**

 While in his more **emotional state of mind**, he tries to empathise with people and act more emotional to **accommodate and match the others around him**. He typically acts friendly, not overly so, with a more relatively ‘chill’ and calm, cool yet laidback demeanor. He tries to **stay out of the spotlight** most of the time to appear more like an average Joe due to his tendencies in being **careful and calculating** in nature, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself - lest he bites off more than he can chew. He uses this form more to **manipulate others socially** to like or favour him enough **to do his bidding.**

 While in his more **logical state of mind**, he focuses on the **most convenient course of actions** to pursue his goals. He **pushes his own personal preferences and emotions aside**, the same way he does to others, for ‘the greater good’. He may act more **aloof and distant** while in this state of mind, though he is also capable of keeping up a **socially amiable and friendly facade** in this state to **avoid suspicion**.

# **Moral Views**

Dr Apatite’s moral views are **incredibly inconsistent** and can be described as **self-serving and/or selfish in nature** majority of the times. **Dr Apatite believes that morals are a social construct that varies between individuals** and lives by **his own moral code.** In other words,**’I’m right because I say I am.’**

He **expresses disgust** for **assaulters, enslavers and abusers.** However, he also shows favouritism towards treating said people harshly in return to ***“Give them a taste of their own medicine”*** - Dr Apatite himself. He shows **little to no empathy for those he opposes** and **would not hesitate to attempt to eliminate** said opponents with as much as the bat of an eye. He also **does not show much concern for the harm or death of innocent people/creatures**, as long as he **is not the direct cause of their harm or death;** though he may show more concern for **people close to him** (typically with an **ulterior motive**) or specimens he has a **soft spot for**, on rare occasions. (Eg. **Vulnerable people, defenseless people, children, animals**)

# **Romantic Attraction**

Dr Apatite, due to his added up years of age and the knowledge of resetting timelines, paired with his grand focuses - **does not feel romantic attraction,** and neither does he find it as something for him to yearn for. He finds it **pretty unnecessary** but doesn’t bash or shame anyone who wishes to pursue it. It may not be his cup of tea but he tolerates it, labelling himself as **Aromantic**. (And more specifically **Blankromantic**.)

# **Sexuality**

Dr Apatite is **Apothisexual**, **repulsed by raunchy activities.** While he does enjoy occasionally cracking jokes on the topic, he makes them out of **pure sarcasm and irony.** In true reality, he distances himself as far as possible from actually getting involved in such activities in real life. He expresses discomfort when hit on, especially when done in a suggestive manner, as he has **expressed a dislike for being legitemately sexualized.**

# **Pre-Project:GRADE**

 **( Disclaimer Note : The following backstory can be disturbing for some as it does include brief mentions of abuse, violence and CSA. I do not support nor condone the actions included in the story, and wish to portray them in a negative/discouraging light, as they add onto the character’s character development as well. If you are uncomfortable ( or a creepy wierdo that likes that sort of thing ) this may not be the right post for you, and I kindly request that you leave. Thank you. -TEN1000 )**

█████ was an intersex child that came from a very difficult family situation. During their upbringing, their parents were physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive and had constant quarrels with one another. █████ also experienced SA in certain times of their life from both their parents, along with getting bullied in middleschool. Growing up, this **developed a sense of selective empathy** (mostly apathy) in █████, who also found a **dislike and aversion to affection and intimacy,** both from a **logical standpoint, personal preferences,** and their **past traumatic experiences** with it.

█████ eventually ended up in foster care, as it would turn out they had provided **carefully logged evidence** of their abuse to a teacher by the age of 15, and soon the police as well. Their foster homes weren’t exactly permanent as they moved from one foster home to the other. Eventually, by the age of 18, █████ was adopted by a couple, █████ and █████. The couple was nice enough to allow █████ to seek professional help from a psychiatrist, but in the end, █████ was only prescribed with anti-depressants. After some time of taking them, █████ felt like they didn’t exactly help them, as they **felt a constant emptiness in their chest.** They eventually ditched the anti-depressants altogether and got into philosophy in a search to find the meaning of life itself, and why █████ should even bother continuing to live.

█████ pursued an education in science, **focused on biology**. █████ had a **fondness for biology, geology, chemistry,** and mostly **subjects close to nature,** alongside their **enjoyment of art.** As they grew older, they ended up working as a scientist that researched microorganisms. █████ notably had a fascination of tardigrades. Aside from tardigrades, █████ too was fascinated with the **concept of time** and the **meaning of life.**

By the age of 23, █████ had their own little lab set up in their room. It was a humble little area, with mostly microscopes and petri dishes to observe microorganisms. There were also an assortment of small, clear boxes with different types of rocks, gems and other materials inside █████ had collected. But the most fascinating thing of all in █████’s room was the collection of **strange taxidermised supernatural creatures** █████ had in store. The couple living with █████ assumed they were more or less not real and just some decorative collection █████ had to fit the room into a more ‘mad scientist’ lair vibe. Meanwhile, █████ was studying the biology of these supernatural creatures closely, bothered with their own string of questions, which eventually led █████ to a certain conclusion.

█████ questioned themselves over, and over, and over. And then they came to a conclusion. **They needed to remember**. They needed to be alive for as long as possible, and they’d need to remember everything somehow as well, **in a place that could transcend time and the seemingly perpetual motion of time itself**. And so that lead them to the discovery of **The Casted Out**, a place **unrivalled by even time itself**, and **Project:GRADE**.

# **Project:GRADE**

**Project:GRADE** is a project that Dr Apatite had started to see if there was **any possible way of making himself immortal**, or at the very least, **experience a form of longevity** so that he could have a sufficient amount of time to do his research. Everything was about time now, and Dr Apatite was constantly in a war against it. His first thought was to turn to creatures like tardigrades and the ‘Turritopsis dohrnii’, otherwise known as the Immortal Jellyfish. Day and night, he would research these earthly creatures just as much as he did alongside their more supernatural counterparts. While he kept a look out for any signs of possibility that he could do to genetically modify himself into immortality or longevity, he also scoped for any supernatural creature or item that could potentially bring him to his goal.

Dr Apatite eventually managed to achieve his goal after retrieving the blessing of **The Constant-Star**. His body was transformed to its sexless figure and he was granted his dark blue hair and cool blue/gray blue eyes. His biology changed in a way that his heart, that was now a **core**, is located at the centre of his torso. **As long as he has the energy to power the core**, he can sustain himself for as **long as he can do so**.

# **The Casted Out**

**The Casted Out** is a place that is considered **‘out of bounds’** from the universe Dr Apatite originated from. It is unaffected by time and decay. It is a mostly dark grey to black area, with white outlines/lineart for anything else inside. The Casted Out appears to be a giant, run down, and **broken school building**. Many of the furniture and items there are placed in odd positions that defy the laws of physics. The place appears to be isolated safe for the one paradoxical school kid there which Dr Apatite has learned to simply refer to as **‘That Kid’.**

# **Project: Should I?**

After completing all of the necessary criterias, it was now time for Dr Apatite to get started on completing his main set of goals - **answering his questions**. He first started by making the decision to leave potential proof he could recieve in the next timeline - if there was one, by **leaving journal logs** in The Casted Out. This would help him prove that his universe did reset, over and over. This would also help him keep track of his findings from his previous timelines, so he could catch up on his research faster by adding on to what he already knew in his current timeline.

In the current story timeline, Dr Apatite finds himself at take 435, implying this was the **435th timeline** Dr Apatite managed to find himself in The Casted Out. Even until now, Dr Apatite constantly debates on whether or not he should **attempt to halt the repetitive cycle of resetting of the universe**, essentially **permanently ending the world**, or leaving it be, which to Dr Apatite - **diminished the value and meaning of life**, for the specimens around him, and himself.
