**Addisons** are a group of Darkner NPCs from the Cyber World. They appear in Cyber City, where some of them are vendors.

## Profile

### Appearance

Addisons are humanoid Darkners with polygonal head and body shapes, closed eyes, a long pointy nose, and a wide smile. Their body outlines are gray but their face details are outlined in black. They vary in color and head shape and can be found throughout Cyber City. They all appear to be wearing long-sleeved black V-neck shirts and bright green pants.

### Personality

Addisons are upbeat and energetic; their dialogue lines almost always end in an exclamation point or two. They will constantly attempt to advertise various products to the party and pander to their customers' interests. However, they do seem capable of experiencing more complex emotions and deep thought, as indicated by their backstory with Spamton.

## Main Story

### History

After defeating Spamton NEO, Addisons talk about their history with Spamton. Spamton used to be like them, just "a little unlucky." He was less successful than the other salesmen and would often "shoot his mouth" about making it big every night at the same cyber grill. When Spamton grew desperate and received a certain phone call, he suddenly became extremely popular and the Addisons began to abandon him, jealous of his success. After Spamton's career continued to prosper, it suddenly ended as if whatever was helping him disappeared. One NPC says they went to check on him the day he was to be evicted from Queen's Mansion, only to find that he had disappeared as well. They only found a phone hanging off the handle, emitting only "garbage noise."

### Chapter 2

Addisons are found standing in front of storefronts throughout Cyber City. They do not appear in battles. Some of the products they offer are unobtainable, but the party is able to purchase the Mannequin and Tea from them.

After Spamton's battle in the alley and returning from Queen's Mansion, interacting with some Addison NPCs gives dialogue implying that Kris asked about Spamton. The Addisons respond in a way that imply they seem to know about Spamton from the past (or feign ignorance) and avoid further conversation.

Following the battle with Spamton NEO, they stand in the Trash Zone outside the way to Spamton's shop, recalling memories when they once hung out with, and eventually abandoned, Spamton throughout his career.

After returning from Cyber World, they can be seen selling free samples of the Dummy in Castle Town.

#### Snowgrave Route

After freezing every enemy along the way, only one pink Addison remains in Cyber City. When the Addison asks if Kris and Noelle are friends, if the "something else" option is selected, upon leaving the Addison offers to sell the Freeze Ring. However, the price is always 1 Dark Dollar more than the party has. If Noelle is repeatedly told to "Get it," the screen fades to black, after which the Addison disappears. It is implied the Addison is trapped inside the ring. The party then obtains the Freeze Ring.

## Trivia

* They appear in pop-ups created by Poppup during battle.
* Although a yellow Addison is found facing away from the party in the Trash Zone, its front-facing sprite is not used in Chapter 2.
* Addisons seem to bear some sort of connection to Spamton.
	+ The colors used for the Addisons' sprites, as well as Spamton's, belong to the default color palette in *Microsoft Paint*.
	+ Their long noses, single-colored bodies and black shirts are reminiscent of Spamton.
	+ Spamton's dialogue is littered with ads, similar to Addisons albeit much more broken.
	+ The Addisons knew and hung out with Spamton at some point, even stating that he was "like the rest of [them]."
