Lyt's post-Cess appearance

**“***It's still **you** who made me! I barely have any control!* **”**
— **Lyt to Jack M. ,****Lyt's backstory solo**

Lyt is an unfinished adware with some of the other malware functions. Their creator and essentially parent is Jack M They abandoned their identity as a malware and decided to be an Addison instead. Uses its functions to work with other Addisons giving them advice and statistics of their performance.

## Appearance

Lyt is a green Addison-looking humanoid. It's roughly 5'8" tall and has short green fur covering its body. They also have a scar on the right side of their face. They received it after their first death and messing with their code, but even after fixing their code the scar didn't go away. Lyt has white eyes with grey whites as confusing as it sounds. They're often seen wearing an orange shirt and green khakis, along with an orange visor. For not stated reasons it always covers up their forearms. The reason for that might soon be revealed but there are no confirmations. It can also be added that they wear a short messy hairstyle, sometimes tying it up into a ponytail. They have once been described as having guacamole hair.

## Personality

They tend to be an extremely private person, only opening up to the closest of their friends. Lyt's personality type is INTJ. To strangers it shows a moderate level of kindness, just enough to be able to understand who they're talking to. They're often suspicious of others, always ready to spot red flags and mess ups. Even if they're fond of their friends once they lose trust - they lose trust for good. A lot of things are based around trust for them, this is mostly because of their childhood. Often Lyt doesn't care about what others think of them unless we're talking about their friends. It can get pretty self conscious about the difference between itself and its friends. They spent a good chunk trying to cover their origin, trying to hide the fact that they're a malware. Didn't really succeed, but at least they're accepted.

It's very protective of its friends, but it can get very insensitive to its friends' feelings while it's trying to protect them. Lyt would try to do anything to convince their friend to believe them, to make them not do something or avoid someone. Sometimes the anxiety gets the better of them and they will be acting like this even if they're most definitely wrong.

Lyt likes to see complicated, hostile, and threatening situations as a game. It often simplifies the situation, distracting them from the stress, letting them think a way out of this. They're rarely spontaneous, but that doesn't mean they don't get such thoughts. Actually getting such spontaneous thoughts can be quite helpful, especially when they make sense and have a use.

## History

### Childhood

Lyt was written and made by Jack M. solely for the purpose of hacking into others' personal files and stealing them. They were meant to be a backdoor that would allow Jack to hijack computers and browsers, unfortunately to some, fortunately to others - Jack wasn't the best programmer back then. The only decently working part of Lyt were ads, their malicious part was barely functional. But even after this happening - Lyt was never scrapped. Jack left it be, so he could try and improve it overtime, since he didn't want to write another program. Even before being "finished" Lyt was a hassle to Jack. Since its creation, Lyt has heard many derogatory names and phrases directed at it. Of course, it imprinted in their memory, letting them know that they'll never be good enough. Jack has been trying to "fix" and improve Lyt for a really long time, but often she was only making it worse. It didn't stop her from blaming it on Lyt. Soon enough Jack decided to teach Lyt how to code itself. Why? So its creator wasn't getting bored trying to revert the changes that they make. But little did Jack know, a being that only has 5 years worth of weird knowledge - most likely wouldn't be able to learn code as quickly as Jack was expecting them to, so Lyt was once again been called a *failure*.

Years pass, Lyt is 10 years old. Jack has already managed to improve the malicious part of its code and now allows them to wander around the Cyber City and the rest of the Cyberworld. An unknown and a tired kid wandering all alone in such a big city must've been concerning to some of the citizens, but most of the people were just avoiding it. That until Lyt bumps into Bann Addison. It was probably one of the first times someone showed worry and some level of care to them. This was also the first time the malware was introduced to the Addisons. Lyt quickly picked up that their relationship with Jack wasn't the greatest. It often felt that something was off about the relationship before and now it finally found out. One day, when they came back to Jack, they tried to confront her about this. Their complaint didn't make it better for them, though. Jack simply ignored Lyt's words, instead asking if they've gained access to any computers. The answer was no. Lyt at some point managed to forget about this. It was the first time Lyt was sent to the Darkweb. For the purpose of "getting experience from other malwares". It didn't end up well most of the time. Often Lyt was coming back to Jack beaten up and empty handed. But this is Darkweb, it's understandable. But Jack made no exception for coming back empty handed when Lyt was visiting the Cyber City. Luckily for them she was kind enough to lower some expectations and needed any kind of info that they could get. At least an IP address. Of course, rarely Jack had to go search for Lyt when it was wandering off for too long, that ended up in at least one encounter with the Addisons, he tried his best to not draw too much attention to himself and not to give away too much information about his identity. Regardless, Lyt's situation didn't change for a long while.

### The breaking point

Its been 2 years, Lyt got to spend more time hanging out with the Addisons, building relationships and actually at some point being adopted by Will Addison (Bill Addison). Everything was alright for them for a while. Yes, Jack is still there, but they're already used to her. They can't change much about this. Some time passes and Will meets Game. This was practically the toughest time of Lyt's life. Bill and Game fall in love, so Lyt spends quite a while around Game, putting quite a lot of trust into him. It can trust Will's friends, right? Plus Game's a virus, so they might actually become good friends. Well, it's what they thought. Only to be proven wrong when Lyt comes into a conflict with Game's morals. Soon after it gets into a conflict with Will, trying to prove to him that Game is a bad person and that Will shouldn't trust him, but it never knew what was going on between William and Game. Lyt stops talking to both Will and Game for a while only to find out that William they knew is gone. That William became Bill. When Bill left the city, basically abandoning them, Lyt stopped visiting Addisons for a good while. Spending a lot of time around Jack, learning code, fixing Jack's mistakes. This is when the events of Lyt's backstory solo occur. They still go out in the city, but they actively avoid the people that they knew.

### Moving on

It's been difficult for Lyt. They're 14 now, Jack had trouble dealing with them and actually managed to get to a logical conclusion, that maybe it's best if he gets Lyt a therapist. This is how Laura T. Vance and Lyt meet. It took several sessions for Lyt to begin to trust Laura even in the slightest. But Laura has proven that she was a trustable person to Lyt, someone who was ready to listen to them, ready to help them. She put in quite the effort to figure out what was the problem and how to fix it. She was the one to help Lyt stop completely avoiding new people and helped them with their anxiety. Lyt could even consider Laura a friend at some point. But even this came to an end. It's been longer than a year, Lyt was about to plan their next session, since there were still some issues, but Laura never responded to them. It's worth mentioning that Jack has also been dissatisfied with what was going on lately. His creation was more deviant, it was standing up for itself. And this isn't what Jack wanted. She gaslighted Lyt into thinking that Laura meant harm to it, that it was all a lie. And the only reason Lyt believed this was their fragile trust.

The malware turned 16, it's socializing again, rarely meeting with the Addisons. They've figured out that Jack was most likely trying to hurt them that time. But this is just an assumption that they'll keep to themself. Lyt's been planning running away from their creator for a few months now, and their new friend was actually ready to help. W.R. Aule was their only friend back then, they were pretty close, actually. Lyt and him met when Lyt was trying to steal some info from a stranger, but Wayt had to get involved. He was a really curious person and he managed to distract Lyt by asking it questions such as *"And why are you doing that?"*, *"Oh, and how do you sell it?".* Eventually he found out that it was actually forced to do such kind of things and that it wasn't really comfortable with that. So, he offered to help them leave. They both split rent of one apartment for almost half a year, getting to know each other better over time. Neither of them actually realized that they were in a relationship for a while. It didn't last long, too. Lyt and Wayt had to part ways, so they broke up. After that Lyt was renting a studio apartment, slowly saving up money. That was around the time they figured out a more legal way to make money with what they have.

## Trivia

* They have a maus named Jeffrey.
* Lyt often forgets about its birthday, probably because it hadn't been celebrated in its childhood.
* There was a point in time when they tried to write out the part that allowed them to access code.
