Snapshot

**Debut** | TBA

**Snapshot** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Alpagadefeu from the planet Joséphorépce.

## Appearance

Snapshot is a large, stocky humanoid alien with a similar body structure to Cannonbolt and Psiomnic, with desaturated lavender purple skin, skintag-like growths around the sides of his face, wrinkles around his mouth, gill-like flaps on his shoulders, and a large face on the front of his torso with an enormous singular eye, lined with a mechanical dark purple aperture and covered with a thick red glass lens, and circled with black stripes that extend over the top of his head and down towards the top of his large black lips. He has pudgy arms ending with four black claws on each hand and very short legs with flat feet made from the same purple metal, with his four claws pointing outwards in different directions. Snapshot wears black pants with red accents, notably around his hips and circling around his knees.

Snapshot wears the Simplicitrix on his stomach.

## Powers

* Snapshot can photographically capture moments in time through blinking his mechanical aperture-like eye and generating organic camera film from his mouth and the gill-like flaps on his shoulders that can perfectly print his captured moments into a physical format, thus allowing others to closely interact and examine however they like.
	+ Snapshot's photographs have esoteric preporties, most notably recreating certain effects whenever one makes visual contact with them, such as a photo of a campfire causing anyone that stares at them to feel physical and emotional warmth, a photo of a fish market causing others to feel increasingly cold and smell nothing but fish, and a photo of an atomic bomb mid-explosion causing others to suffer temporary blindness as if an intense flash of light had overwhelmed them, and with enough exposure, the symptoms of severe radiation poisoning.
	+ Snapshot can insert his photographs into the minds of others, represented through him sliding the edge of his photos into slots that open up on the skin of the individual in question, comparable to inserting a CD into a computer, where they will now retain a perfect mental image of the photograph for as long as it remains in them. Should they possess mindscape transportation, they can transfer themselves and others into the photo itself, allowing them to occupy and interact with its environment if they were really there at the time.
	+ Snapshot can manipulate photorealism, able to alter and modify the contents of any photograph that he comes in contact with, whether they may be stored in physical, digital, or even mental format for as long as he can directly access them, and integrate them into reality once he finalizes them. Through using his sharp claws like stylus pens, Snapshot can expand, contract, smudge, and warp certain areas, selectively blur and sharpen details in order to make them harder or easier to see, and cut out different portions and paste them onto different photos, represented as spatial distortions.
* Snapshot has enhanced durability, vision, dexterity, and intelligence when it comes to photography.
* Snapshot is immune towards the retroversion flashes of Loquere Ad Click Accipies Pics due to the unique preporties of his lens cancelling out their flashes.

## Weaknesses

* Snapshot's pudgy skin is vulnerable towards the slightest exposure of caustic chemicals, such as ink and acid.
* Snapshot's photographic vision can be obscured and blocked through adhesive materials and irritants, while simultaneously leaving him with a large blind spot due to the position of his singular eye.
* Snapshot's camera film can degrade overtime through extensive usage unless heavily preserved through outside means, lessening their potency of their property replication, while destroying them altogether, such as tearing them up or burning them will cause their unique esoteric effects to cease altogether.
	+ Snapshot's photographically replicated preporties require visual contact in order to be activated, meaning they have no effect on blind opponents.
* Snapshot's photorealism manipulation cannot create nor destroy, requiring him to acquire and store entire albums worth of photographs in order to increase the amount that he can work with, while ripping up a photo to try and destroy its contents will only render it not usable anymore.
	+ His photorealism manipulation cannot necessarily be used for offensive means, as despite its limited reality warping effects, the energy and reaction time it requires cannot be used in a conventional sense, more so suited for defensive means, such as weakening opponents through blurring them.

## Etymology

* Snapshot refers to a quickly taken photograph, typically with a small handheld camera.
* Snapshot's species name is the French translation of "fire alpaca," referring to FireAlpaca, the digital editing software used by Blake.
* Snapshot's planet name is a play on Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, a French inventor widely credited with the invention of photography.

## Trivia

* Snapshot was drawn by Shark, with his design being made using an Incarcecon incidental.
* Snapshot's abilities were originally conceptualized as photographically capturing moments in time and studying them as holographic projections, although were changed and expanded upon by WTB in order to avoid similarities with Chupacabruh Moment.
