Potassiyum

**Debut** | TBA

**Potassiyum** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Masalah-Satu-Pisang-Larutan-Pisang from the planet Pisang-Atas-Pisang-Kedua.

## Appearance

Potassiyum is a worm-like alien with a detachable, removable cocoon-like carapace made from spongy yellow flesh that when combined together, make him heavily resemble an ordinary Earth banana. His profile image displays him partially peeled down to his midsection, revealing his true form underneath, featuring thin black hairs on the top of his oblong head, a wrinkled forehead, panicked eyes with misshapen pupils, a short pig-like nose with three nostrils, a circular mouth with small black teeth and a dark green tongue, and three sets of vestigial nubs for arms.

Potassiyum wears the Simplicitrix on the bottom of his peel.

## Powers

* Potassiyum can generate and manipulate the element of potassium, not only being an extremely reactive alkaline metal that can explode within water, but also an important mineral and type of electrolyte important for nerve and muscle function, heartbeat regulation, nutrient distribution, cellular waste removal, and dampening the harmful effects of sodium. In short, he can conjure up dangerous explosion hazards and influence the health of others through only one mineral alone, as a potassium deficiency can cause numerous side-effects, such as weakness and tiredness, while too much can cause heart palpitations and stomach pains.
	+ Potassiyum can mimic the preporties of potassium, becoming more durable, highly explosive when exposed to any water, and luckily enough inedible and undesirable while in this metallic state.
	+ Potassiyum can manipulate potassium-rich foods, examples of which include fruits such as avocados, raisins, and dried apricots, vegetables such as potatoes, spinach, and broccoli, certain fish like tuna and trout, coconut water, and salt substitutes.
* Potassiyum can generate extremely miniscule, but slightly notable quantities of radiation, as potassium is in fact a radioactive element.
* Potassiyum can fully remove and throw his peeled carapace as a diversion that can slip and trip others should they slip on it while going too quickly.
* Potassiyum can retreat into his peel and rest inside, allowing him to regenerate from damage should he be squashed, bitten, or even exploded.
* Potassiyum has enhanced agility, mobility, and flexibility.

## Weaknesses

* Potassiyum gets extremely frightened if any outside force peels him, deriving from his species' innate fear of any primate-like species who desire eating his kind the most, enough for him to suddenly scream and startle anyone who was under the impression that he was nothing more than a regular banana.
* Potassiyum's radiation generation is at such low amounts that it would require tens of millions of him to even be able to have a half-and-half chance of causing a lethal dose to someone, the chances of which not made that much higher should he try generating pure potassium metal itself.
* Potassiyum's peel bruises extremely easily, leaving behind dark spots that make him look unappetizing, which may risk him being thrown away.

## Etymology

* Potassiyum's name is a play on "potassium" and "yum."
* Potassiyum's species name is a play on "masalah satu-pisang," the Indonesian translation of "one-banana problem," computing slang for an easily resolvable problem, and "larutan pisang," the Indonesian translation of "banana solution," a solution used to help apply bronze pigments, named for its banana-like odor.
* Potassiyum's planet name is a play on "pisang atas," the Indonesian translation of "top banana," meaning the most important person in an organization, and "pisang kedua," the Indonesian translation of "second banana," meaning the second most important.

## Trivia

* Potassiyum was drawn by Shark as apart of a batch of random alien designs made without any ideas in mind, with their name and powers later suggested by WTB.
