Buttered Toast

**Debut** | TBA

**Buttered Toast** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Felium Semperterram Superpedessuos from the asteroid belt Gerdrudis Semperterras Butyrumlatus Descendit.

## Appearance

Buttered Toast is a large, stout cat-like alien with incredibly short legs, a squared head with spaced out ears and eyes, the latter pointing in opposite directions of one another, and a high up mouth giving him the appearance of a large chin, yellowish-brown fur, giving him a "toasted" appearance, and a large butter pad resting on his back.

Buttered Toast wears the Simplicitrix on his chin.

## Personality

Buttered Toast is dopey and inattentive, although generally happy-go-lucky because of his absent-mindedness.

## Powers

* Buttered Toast can tether physical surfaces together by bonding them with gravitational energy, making it so one will begin "falling" towards the other if they were to enter a state of motion. With concentration, Buttered Toast can "tighten" the tether and forcefully snap any connected surfaces together in an instance, potentially causing damage to both themselves and whatever they hit along the way.
	+ Buttered Toast's tethering abilities are always subconsciously active on himself, tethering the bottom of his feet to whatever surface he is currently standing on, resulting in him being able to walk up vertical surfaces, such as walls and the sides of people, as if they were the ground. By tightening his own tether while in this state, Buttered Toast enters a state of nigh-immobility that renders him immune to the effects of gravitational manipulation, such as from Gravattack's own gravikinesis, Stumbrella's spatiokinesis, and Centropetal's centripetal force manipulation.
	+ As an automatic failsafe, if Buttered Toast were to lose his footing, or the ground underneath him becomes broken apart, he will automatically tether both the top and bottom of his body together out of reflex, causing him to enter a state of anti-gravity levitation, where he'll aimlessly float around in the air until he can re-anchor himself to a new surface that he comes across.
* Buttered Toast can manipulate gravity itself to a limited degree.
* Buttered Toast has enhanced reflexes and mobility.
* Buttered Toast has space survivability.

## Weaknesses

* Buttered Toast's absent-minded personality can be a hindrance, especially to others.
* Buttered Toast can tether as many surfaces he wants without losing energy, although the size and distance of his tethers will gradually start to put more and more of a mental strain on him.
* Buttered Toast cannot tether gaseous surfaces due to their complete lack of a fixed shape.
* Buttered Toast has very low mobility and hardly any sense of direction while in anti-gravity, and can accidentally enter it if someone picks up and doesn't lay him back down on the ground.

## Etymology

* Buttered Toast's name is a nod to the common belief that toast always land butter side down, just like how cats always land on their feet, referencing his powers. His name also references the Buttered Toast phenomenon, used as an idiom to represent pessimistic outlooks, which is ironic because of Buttered Toast's carefree personality.
* Buttered Toast's species name is the Latin translation of the phrase "cats always land on their feet."
* Buttered Toast's planet name is the Latin translation of the phrase "toast always lands butter side down."

## Trivia

* Buttered Toast was made by WTB.
* Buttered Toast's name and personality were inspired by Ed from *Ed, Edd n Eddy,* as buttered toast are one of his notable catchphrases and favorite foods. Although not intentional, his Simplicitrix symbol location also references Ed, albeit in an ironic way, as he lacks a chin himself.
* Buttered Toast was tentatively named Butter Side Down before his creation.
