Eris

a pseudo-living aberration from the Creation Sphere, currently acting as lead guitarist for Sabermetric and HALO BREΔK

## Personality/General

eris is largely vacant and nonreactive to his surroundings, though that is not to say he is unaware of or indifferent to them. he simply prefers to lurk on the fringes of situations and observe from an outside perspective. for the same however, he enjoys the company of the rest of the bandgroup and appreciates their including him in their hangouts, and of course, on occasion does offer his own opinions and propositions to the group

in the rare case that something should *truly* spur him to action, he will well demonstrate he has not forgotten his initially monstrous nature.

## Story/Origins

like any errant fog-being, eris first existed as only a mindless temporary construct. unlike most of them, he wound up in nk's domain before his accidental sentience dissipated. the 'stasis' property of the world forced his continued existence even after the fog's effect ran out, and for a time he was a wandering menace in the uninhabited parts of the domain.

eventually though, with time would come cognition, and he would begin to move beyond his instinctual blindly violent reactions to his surroundings. as he began to forge an identity, he gradually started interacting with other denizens of the domain, and eventually would find his way into one of the more populous cities. it wasn't long after that he was adopted into spurlocke's bandgroup, and they saw to getting him an artificial voicebox to enable him to speak. though its audio output quality leaves a lot to be desired, there is no mistaking its translations tell he has grown into a fully sapient being.

eris essentially only cameos in static sound, making a brief appearance when amaranth and spurlocke visit the city and he introduces her to his crew, but eris also returns for the final battle against Diode2 to put his surprisingly vicious combat style [and inability to be possessed by toxinvein] to use for the sake of helping see spurlocke through the fight.

## Relations

no one quite knows what to make of eris. those who see him perform tend to assume he's some kind of prop or special effect, while those who meet him in person are usually perturbed by his haggard posture, nigh-incomprehensible speech, and tendency to do little more than ominously hover nearby.

the rest of the band is well used to his demeanor, and treat him as they would any other friend-plus some added patience and understating given his communication difficulties.

of them, he has notably found common ground with marley in that they both have little to nothing going for them outside of nk's domain, and the two share a particularity strong bond in knowing this is the place they'll likely have to call home for the rest of their days

## Skills/Abilities

being composed solely of cloth wrappings and four metal spikes, eris can unravel parts or all of himself to reconstruct into other shapes, most notably a plethora of extra hands made from the material in his torso, which he primarily uses to shred on his octuple-necked guitar. the spikes are also particularly effective as a sort of sentient rope-dart.

as a being with no intended or "natural" lifespan, eris is exempt from the usual immortality restrictions on staying in nk's domain. on the flipside of this, unless he is again supplied with fog from BEAST 01, he will cease to be alive should he ever get beyond the domain's stasis effect.
