Amber Wisp

## Production information

The **Amber Wisp** is a type of Streamispian Wisp. It grants the Amber Atom Wisp energy.

## Official description

*"When the humans of Earthoon were searching for an alternative to nuclear energy that wouldn't be misused by anyone after The Great War of Lasty Ghost ended, the Amber Atom Wisps were created. The behavior of these Wisps is erratic; they can shrink, grow, stand perfectly still, or fly even faster than light, but the use of its Wisp energy is the same: power entire cities and more advanced facilities. The best of everything is that it's not chaotic when misused. Who knew such a tiny Wisp could be so useful? Wait, it's not tiny anymore..."*

## Creature

### Physical appearance

Amber Wisps have goldenrod yellow bodies, a single pastel yellow eye with a cross pupil, three tentacles ending with pastel yellow orbs, and they're surrounded by two fire orange rings, one large and one small, both of which have two pastel yellow orbs.

### Powers and abilities

* **Wisp energy usage and bestowment - Amber Atom:** Amber Wisps can utilize their Wisp energy for themselves or to help others, either by getting inside them or by turning their energy into capsules.
* **Size change:** Amber Wisps can shrink and grow at will.

## Development

An Atom Wisp was conceptualized in 2017, but never worked on at the time, and not much is known about it aside from its name: **Plum Atom**.

From 2020 to 2022, the Atom Wisp was known as **Elec Neutroton**, a character by LastyGhost for *CRiTORA*. Elec was an Atom CRiTORA from the Meetup District; from what was known of him, he loved to play hide-and-seek with others, succeeding at hiding in the most unexpected spots thanks to his small size. He had a brother, **Sparky Neutroton**, who was a booksmart Atom CRiTORA, though he could also have the time to play with his brother.

Both Elec and Sparky were semi-frequent background characters in the series, appearing in the series' Season 1 intro for its first four episodes, and like with every character designed by LastyGhost for the series, was retired as such at the end of 2022.

Albeit the idea of an Atom Wisp always existed in LastyGhost's mind since the creation of the Streamispian Wisps, she decided to recycle Elec Neutroton and make him the final form of the Amber Wisp. It is currently unclear if it will appear in *Reckon Crystal*'s teased sequel.

### Design

Elec was "accidentally" modeled after a prototype Saturn CRiTORA from 2017, albeit sporting a Wisp-like body. As he was intended to be a tiny CRiTORA, Elec's body was slightly modified to make him look and feel small.

The Amber Wisp's Early 2023 design is a renewal of Elec, with a slightly modified color palette to be more contrasting. In Mid-2023, its iris shape was modified, and it was given fingers and cheeks to make it more reminiscent of molecules, as well as more different from other Wisps.

### Name

For its CRiTORA name: "Elec" was derived from *Electric*. "Neutroton" was derived from *Neutron* and *Proton*. Additionally, the first name could have been derived from *Electron* to go with the character's atom aspect.
