*“How can you say you aren’t a villain? You’ve killed people, you’ve threatened others. Just because you think it’s right means that you’re not a villain? Going by that logic, I’m no villain either!”*
— Glitch to Rattlesnake and Fox

**Glitch** officially joined the AstralSMP on 01/13/2022, after the end of season one, having been on the search for Streamless before he died, and is a trained warrior and assassin known on the roads as ‘The Stag’ for the deer skull she wears over her face, and her deathly pale skin and hair.

Since then, she has interacted with multiple people- all negatively. She has attacked Siren, Alastor, and Leaf, and kidnapped Rattlesnake, Fox, Ink, Jax, and Ghostless. On top of this, she and Bor both took each other’s lives in a fight.

## Biography

### Appearance

Thin and deathly pale skin, ice-blue eyes and long hair. Large scar running from right side of neck over cheek and across eye and bridge of nose, along with multiple small impact scars starting at forehead and lessening the closer to nose. Hundreds of smaller scars line her hands and arms, but they are not visible due to outfit. She has pointed ears, and bleeds blue.

She is almost always wearing a deer skull as a mask. She wears large black and grey combat boots and a set of a blue long sleeve shirt and pants. Two heavy shoulder guards and black gloves accompany the look. She runs cold, and breathes cold puffs of mist- her hair is like ice to the touch and her body is always cold.

## Personality

Glitch’s personality is a tough one to describe. She is mentally insane- this is a fact, not an opinion. She can go through a wide range of emotions in a short span of time.

Mainly however, she is headstrong, confident in only herself, and inconsiderate. She does what she needs done and nothing else, and if anyone gets in her way then she makes quick work of them.

### Background

Glitch was raised in a town known as the Arena for its strong belief in raising strong warriors. Instead of actual school, training is offered to those as young as five. Kids often fight to the death in these so-called training matches.

Glitch herself did not enter these matches until the age of 8. Up until this point, her parents had kept her locked up in the basement of their house. Glitch’s parents were two of the highest ranking warriors in town, and so wanted to train their daughter to be even better than them. Training for Glitch started before she could even walk.

When Glitch was finally released into the real world, her parents sent her straight to training in the Arena. She dominated the ring, and killed without hesitation here. She developed a sickness however- one she would later identify as asthma. This made it nearly impossible to fight for long periods, and so she began to lose battles.

Her last battle was lost to another boy named Bor. Bor was a high ranking opponent, so this loss was devastating to Glitch’s own ranking. After losing, her parents started to ignore her. They stopped feeding her, stopped talking to her. She grew to resent them, and started trying to find any way to escape.

Her chance came with the lighting of a candle. A single candle, and she had burnt down her parents house and run away.

She didn’t find out until later, but both of her parents had died that night. The town went wild searching for her, and beheaded eleven people on account of treason, believing they had information on Glitch’s disappearance. The twelfth was meant to be Bor, but he narrowly escaped his death on account of his high ranking in the Arena.

Glitch lived on the run for years, murder becoming more and more common in her work. She met another girl named Ace, and became best friends with her for a year of her travels before a battle led to Ace’s accidental death by Glitch. While fighting, Glitch threw a dagger aimed at a man attacking Ace. When the man properly ducked, the dagger lodged into Ace’s skull, right between her eyes.

On her own again, Glitch was caught and taken to a mental ward. She escaped after 11 months of this. After this, she had gone off the deep end. She became known as the Stag for the deer skull she wore. She’s known for her humming during every part of her day- she seems to constantly be humming.

## Major Events

### Streamless' Return

Glitch returns to her house after spying on the Arrow Deal. When she enters the room she’d locked her "friends" in, she sees Ghostless on the bed staring into space. They don’t respond when she speaks to them, and she insults and threatens them in anger.

Ghostless smiles. One that matched their body, and not their personality.

Ghostless punches Glitch away, and Glitch gets right back up. The two begin to fight, and it gets extremely out of hand when Ghostless takes a wooden axe from Jax and begins to fully attack back. Glitch has met her match, especially when Ghostless light the wooden floor on fire. Glitch tried to put it out, but she isn’t fast enough or able to as she continues to be attacked. Ink and Jax start trying to find a way to dig around the iron door and get out of the house before it burned down.

Glitch tells Ghostless how Streamless was her idol, how they should just stop fighting and work together to be the most powerful people on the SMPs. Ghostless fervently declines this, speaking about how stupid they had been back then. How they wanted to fix their wrongs, how they were a better person.

Ghostless tackles Glitch to the ground, and Glitch uses the sharp horns of her skull to headbutt them with. The horns pierce his skull, effectively killing him, but there’s a thing with being a ghost: you’ve got infinite lives. Ghostless respawns and is attacking Glitch again in a matter of seconds as the fire continues to spread.

Jax and Ink finally get the door open, yelling for Ghostless to follow them. Ghostless declines, telling them to leave. They’re a ghost after all, they can respawn as many times as they want. Glitch however, could not.

She gets angry, telling Ghostless to leave. They say they won’t kill her, not themselves, but that her own consequences of her actions would. Ghostless leaves, shutting the iron door behind them and trapping Glitch in the burning room.

Glitch kicks at the door for several minutes, caving the iron door in with her steel-toed boots. The door finally breaks off its hinges, and she runs out, collecting what few special items were left not burning in flames. Jax had stolen her journal.

She escapes the house just before the roof and ladder collapses. Standing outside of her burning home, she holds what few items she has left close to her chest, and cries.

```
**January 13th, 2022** - "Arrival"

```

Glitch had finally made it to the town that the warriors who had killed Streamless ventured to often. In search of them, she meets Rattlesnake. Which, as you could imagine with two overconfident and well-versed fighters, did not go well. The two spend nearly forty five minutes throwing insults back and forth, increasingly getting angrier and angrier. Glitch had heard tales of the great Rattlesnake, feared among all, on her travels and laughed hysterically when she found out Rattlesnake was ‘just a kitten’. Rattlesnake finally attacks, and Glitch lashes out with a sword. Back at a stalemate the insults pick up again, and Glitch turns to leave. Rattlesnake stops her, asking for her name. Glitch tells her what her name is and that she was known as the Stag. Rattlesnake recognizes the name. Glitch finally turns and leaves, telling Rattlesnake that ‘hopefully we’ll never have to see each other’s faces again’. Rattlesnake disagrees, saying she hopes to run into Glitch again. Rattlesnake turns to leave, Glitch watching her before leaving herself.

```
 **January 14th, 2022** - "Friends and Flowers"

```

Glitch is snooping around Midnight, looking in people’s houses. Rattlesnake and Fox were walking out of Okapi’s house on their way from the bunker, and Rattle sees Glitch. She tells Fox to get behind her as Glitch notices them and approaches, seeming very keen on Fox. The next several minutes are spent on Glitch trying to get Fox to tell her his name, and information about him. Glitch finds out Fox is Rattlesnake’s best friend and also absolutely oblivious to Glitch’s bad intentions. For whatever reason, maybe her own goals, or just to tick Rattlesnake off, Glitch keeps prying. Fox gives Glitch a flower, excited when Glitch says she’ll keep it. Rattlesnake tells Fox to go to the bunker. Rattlesnake and Glitch bicker again, and Glitch eventually moves inside the house that and Fox had gone into. Once inside, Fox comes back up from the bunker. Rattlesnake throws herself in front of Fox and tells Glitch to get out. Slowly, Rattlesnake is getting closer and closer to snapping. She doesn’t want to though, not with Fox there. Glitch keeps prying, and prying, and Fox eventually tells her his name.  He gives her a cactus as well, a special cactus he insists. Seeing as how Rattlesnake looks absolutely close to tearing her face off, Glitch leaves with a smile, telling Fox she hopes to see him again.
Rattlesnake and Fox go down to the bunker, Fox noticing Rattlesnake is visibly shaken. Rattlesnake says it’s nothing, and tells Fox a story to go to bed.

```
**January 16th, 2022** - "Siren"

```

Siren stumbles into Glitch’s house while Glitch is in the basement, reading enchantment books. Glitch, assuming Asight had told someone to come attack and kill Glitch, immediately tackles and pins Siren with a sword to her throat. Glitch demands Siren tell her why she’s here, who she is, and in order to leave, Siren told Glitch she’d give her any information about the town she wanted. Glitch asks for a list of the people Siren knew- and who she thought were the strongest of all of them. Siren tells Glitch that she believed Arrow and Opia- two people who were often associated with Streamless- were the most powerful. Glitch lets Siren go, telling Siren that if she told anyone about their little scuffle, noises being too loud would be the least of the bat’s worries. Siren leaves, rushing to find Alastor and tell him what happened. Glitch, with sights set on finding Arrow and Opia, watches the bat leave and returns to her basement.

```
**January 17th, 2022** - "Get Your Paws Dirty"

```

Glitch follows Siren back to her cave, having suspected that despite her warning Siren would tell someone about their interaction anyway. Though Glitch really could give less a crap, it still annoys her a bit- and a bit is enough to set her off. Siren gets to the cave and tells Alastor about Glitch nearly killing her. Mid way through her explanation, Glitch jumps down from the ledge she’d been hiding on. With a sword to Siren’s throat, Glitch taunts the two. Slowly, the blade is pressed harder and harder into Siren’s neck, drawing more and more blood and making the injury a dangerous one. Alastor, fearing his friend’s life, throws himself at Glitch and knocks her back. Siren is let loose and hides around the corner. Alastor has absolutely no fighting experience, and is left basically defenseless as Glitch relentlessly attacks and dodges his swings- Glitch purposely only leaves small scratches and cuts. When she’s deemed the damage enough, she steps back and begins to leave.
On her way out, she pauses to ask Alastor a question. “Arrow- do you know where I could him him?” Siren had mentioned Alastor being allies with him, so Glitch figured she had better use her resources correctly. Alastor says no- he hasn’t talked to Arrow for a long while. With a wave goodbye Glitch leaves Alastor to care for Siren, who is bleeding dangerously.
Too afraid to take care of Siren himself - can’t get his wonderful paws dirtied with blood- he leads her to the town where they find Okapi. Okapi helps the two, wrapping Siren’s injury and giving them both healing potions to get rid of the smaller scratches. Alastor tells Okapi about Glitch- though they don’t know her name, so they’re left only with description. Okapi tells the two that they could stay as long as they liked. Alastor briefly introduced himself and thanks Okapi for the help.

```
**January 21st, 2022** - "Pestering"

```

Jax, looking for Amber, finds Kaz. Together, the two of them find Amber, and the three stumble across Glitch’s house in the process. Glitch comes home to see the three intruders, immediately angry and threatens all three with death. They leave, but Jax returns to offer Glitch partnership. Glitch strongly disagrees, and Jax leaves.

```
**January 23rd, 2022** - "Error"

```

Glitch decides to go snoop around some more and finds herself at Sanic’s house. She walks upstairs and finds Error, though neither of them react to each other how you might expect. Error asks Glitch if she knew Sanic. Glitch at first tries to act like Sanic had asked Glitch to bring her axe back to the house- when Error asks for the axe, Glitch ditches the plan and decides to go with her own. Already annoyed by not finding anything of importance, Glitch is easily ticked off by the questions she gets from Error. She decides to leave, but not before pointing a sword to Error and telling her ‘if you tell anyone about this confrontation, both you and your friend will not take kindly to the consequences’. Not to say Glitch wasn’t already taking care of the \*other person\* who had immediately went and told someone about their interaction, but it would still be agitating if Error told someone. To make sure Error knows Glitch is serious, she cuts Error’s face with the sword before she leaves.

```
**February 25th, 2022** - “Heat of the Sun”

```

Glitch enters Dawn. She’s heard there’s more people here, more things to fight, more battles to win. She sees Schnoob and follows them home, and when Schnoob sees Glitch snooping around their property, they confront Glitch. Multiple insults are thrown back and forth, and the two soon start to fight each other. Schnoob gets multiple solid hits in, while Glitch struggles to land a scratch. Fighting with the heat she’d never felt before, Schnoob proves to be too much for Glitch, and Schnoob opens their large wings and lifts Glitch off the ground. They fly higher and higher, until they fly just beneath the clouds. Here, Schnoob tells Glitch to surrender, a silent threat that they’d drop Glitch if not hanging in the air. Desperate to get back to the ground Glitch admits defeat, and Schnoob panda on the ground, dropping Glitch out of their grip. Glitch stands, and though absolutely livid, walks away while Schnoob boredly watches.

```
**April 5th, 2022** - "Revenge"

```

Pastel and Schnoob are outside together, just enjoying each other’s company because you know, that’s what friends do. Schnoob flies away to get something for Pastel, leaving the girl alone for a bit. Glitch meanwhile, seeking revenge on Schnoob, watches from the cover of trees. When Schnoob flies away, Glitch attacks Pastel- intending to kill her as payback to Schnoob. Schnoob returns just before Glitch can actually do that, and tackles Glitch to the ground. There’s not much fight, and Schnoob easily overpowers Glitch, ready to kill her. Pastel chimes in, and asks for Glitch not to be killed, continuing to hold Schnoob back from doing so. Schnoob reluctantly relents, making sure Glitch knows that if she ever returned to hurt anyone, Schnoob would not hesitate to kill her. Glitch stands up, spitting a mouthful of dirt onto Schnoob’s boots, and stomps away.

```
**Feburary 14th-April 15th, 2022**

```

Glitch is out hunting when she sees Rattlesnake in a field near her house. Glitch watches the cat try to catch a rabbit. Before Rattlesnake can pounce, Glitch shoots the rabbit with an arrow, taking the kill herself. Having revealed her spot, Glitch steps out of her hiding spot. Glitch and Rattlesnake bicker for a bit. It's important to note, they end up beside a ravine as they bicker. The sound of a creeper startled them, and Glitch has just enough time to get a shield out before it explodes. The force of the explosion sends them both flying backwards, over the ravine. Glitch grabs onto a hanging root in the side of the ravine, while Rattlesnake falls to the bottom. Glitch eventually makes her way to the bottom as well, and finds Rattlesnake unable to move with the injuries of the fall.
A few minutes of bickering later, Glitch makes a makeshift harness out of vines growing on the ravine walls. Attaching Rattlesnake to herself with the harness, Glitch quite literally tarzans them out of the ravine, using a pickaxe and her dagger to claw their way out of the ravine. At the top, Glitch takes Rattlesnake back to her house to treat her wounds, intending to let her go as soon as she was fixed.
What neither of them account for is a thunderstorm triggering a manic episode out of Glitch. Rattlesnake notices the sudden shift in mood from Glitch, but can't move to get out of the house. Glitch eventually offers to find Fox and bring him to be with Rattle. Rattle quickly disagrees, not wanting Fox to be brought into the mess. Glitch refuses to listen to Rattle and sets off to retrieve Fox from Okapi's house.
Now with Fox back at her house in Glitch's bedroom in the basement, Rattlesnake does her best not to anger Glitch, knowing the dangerous cliff between sanity and insanity Glitch was walking on.
Several days go on, Glitch's condition waning every minute that goes by. Multiple times Glitch lashes out, throwing a knife at Rattlesnake or threatening them. Despite this, Glitch continues to insist that they're just friends, and makes food for them and continues to tend to Rattle's injuries. Eventually, Rattlesnake is able to painfully walk. When Glitch leaves for the night, Rattlesnake tries to sneak out but is stopped by the locked iron door of Glitch's house. Glitch finds out the cat had been trying to sneak out, and gets angry. She lashed out again, stabbing the wall beside Rattlesnake and narrowly missing a killing blow to Rattle's head/neck. Glitch backs off again, and suggests they bring Fox hunting as if nothing had previously happened.
Rattlesnake is defiant to this idea- Fox is still innocent, and hasn't ever killed anything before. Rattlesnake isn't even sure he fully comprehends what death is. Glitch is insistent, and takes the two out of the house to teach Fox how to hunt.
Fox, with the encouragement of Glitch and reluctant support of Rattlesnake, is able to take down a pig. it's now that Rattlesnake makes her move to run away. Grabbing Fox, Rattlesnake sprints away. Glitch only laughs, and lets them run for a bit, knowing Rattle's still-healing injuries will slow her down. Glitch now moves to the trees, skillfully chasing after the two through the branches. Rattlesnake makes the mistake of hiding in a hollow tree stump, and Glitch fire a flaming arrow at the ground in front of the tree. The surrounding grass catches alight, and the fire quickly spreads to the bushes and trees around the cat and fox. Rattle is forced to jump through the fire to escape, running wildly from the growing forest fire behind them. All the while, Glitch follows them.
Glitch throws a knife at Rattlesnake, forcing her running to stop. More knives follow it. Eventually, Glitch jumps down from the tree and approaches them. Rattlesnake has lost consciousness. Fox however, doesn't know it had been Glitch who had created the forest fire. Glitch plays along with it, taking the two back to her house, treating Rattle's injuries, and leaving the two in her room while she travels to Dawn.
Meanwhile, Rattle wakes up. Fox is excited, and Rattlesnake tries to explain to him that it had been Glitch that had hurt her. Fox doesn't understand, insisting that no, Glitch had been the one who had taken them back to her house and healed Rattle.
Rattlesnake gets frustrated and snaps at Fox, instantly feeling bad when tears well in the fox's eyes. She hugs him, and drops the topic. At least, until Glitch's dragging footsteps can be heard upstairs. When she gets down to the basement, she looks like the definition of death. Between whistling breaths, Glitch tells the two to get out of her house, before she makes them.
Fox and Rattlesnake are both shocked at first, and Fox insists that he should help her like she'd helped Rattlesnake. Rattlesnake however takes the hint, and grabs Fox, running out of the house. Behind them, a loud crash and clinking of Glitch's dagger rolling away on the floor can be heard.

```
**April 16th, 2022** - "Unfortunate Reunions"

```

Glitch goes to Midnight's main village. While at the community fire, she hears a sound from one of the cliff faces above. She shouts for whoever it is to come out. Bor emerges from the cliff. Glitch immediately recognizes him- he does not recognize her yet.
She questions him about his past, angry. She eventually takes off her skull mask.
When Bor realizes who she is as well, he apologizes profusely and even tells Glitch to kill him. He tells her about her parents’ death to the fire she set. The village had suspected people of helping Glitch cover her tracks when she ran away, and multiple people had been executed. Bor was meant to be the next to be executed, but was saved due to his high ranking status in the Arena. Glitch takes the offer of killing Bor, but is angered when he doesn't fight back. He refuses to fight, at least until Glitch draws blood. Bor fights more like a feral animal than a human, and the fight is messy. Using a rock, Bor crushes Glitch’s skull. Refusing to die before Bor, Glitch flips them over and stabs Bor in the heart, twisting her dagger. Bor rolls over again, and the two grapple until they fall.
They both end up losing one of their lives, laying beside each other on the ground.

```
**April 18th, 2022** - "Ink"

```

Glitch runs into Ink in the main town of Midnight. Glitch ends up getting lots of information from the cat, scaring her. Ink tells Glitch multiple things- she's staying with Okapi, she met with Siren, Skye and Okapi had just left to trade Arrow a fake axe of war and get Adder back, and that Adder is very important to Skye. Ink also tells Glitch that Dawn was splitting in half, one side hating Skye and the other side supporting her. Satisfied with the information she'd got, Glitch holds a dagger to Ink's throat and tells her not to tell anyone of their meet-up, or she'd regret it. When Ink agrees, Glitch steps back and walks away.

```
**April 21st, 2022** - "Consequences"

```

After Glitch is done spying on Skye and Leaf’s conversation, she heads back home, where she finds her door slightly ajar. She slowly walks inside, finding Jax, Ink, and Ghostless all snooping and intruding in her house. She does Glitch things, and it’s obvious to the three intruders that she is furious and very much insane. She especially freaks out Ghostless, whom she no less than interrogated upon finding that he was the ghost of none other than Streamless. They all run into her bedroom, effectively trapping themselves when Glitch tells them they could all stay as ‘guests’ and be her friends. She places an iron door and a lever to lock it from the outside, and proceeds to insult, creep out, threaten, and attack them. She decides that she’ll ‘help’ Ghostless figure out if ghosts have infinite lives or not, and ends up killing both Ghostless and Ink. They repainted in the room, so not even death can help them escape. She leaves Jax alive with a slash across the face, so that they can watch their friends suffer the consequences of their own actions.
