Comets of Burning Light

## Overview

[MAJOR CHANGES SOON]

Comets of Burning Light [CBL] is a generation 2 iterator of slightly older times, he was built with no group and complete isolation, programmed to not even remember the ancients. CBL is a neutral friendly and typically tries to comfort others and help those who are in need. CBL continuously designs slugcats after the stars, planets, and perhaps more (We have conceptualized to calling these Starscugs even if not all of them are based on stars).

He is well versed in genetic creation in a unique manner, the genetic codes being extremely complicative, but he can also make decent crafts of cloth or such and is an astronomer researcher which is his main niche.

## History

**Canon Slugcats/Slugpups he created:**

The Main-Sequence (True name - T-Bm-S)

The Burning (True name - T-Ads)

Luminous (True name - T-Gt-c)

Hylo (True name - H-Agc-sa)

Aphrodite (True name - V-Pl-us)

## Relations

**Main-Sequence (T-Bm-s) (Also referred as MS non-canonically)**

Current State: Deceased

A deceased slugcat that imploded and became The Apparition. Her relationship was quite close with her sibling, T-Ads. CBL considers himself a parent of her, though a bad one. All he knows about her death is that she only felt fear, sorrow, and glimpses of water before the memory fades which was provided by The Apparition.

Stress had made MS show signs of potential implosion through the loss of T-Ads and attempting to heal the imploded sibling and made CBL a bit traumatized of causing others distress. He keeps the disk that is now from the dead slugcat in a compartment in his chamber where it shows a tiny glow of cyan still, though is black and red showing that the owner of the disk is no longer living.

T-Bm-s had gone into shock from the cold water of the river after being scared by **The Imbalance**, imploding into the water with the disk's remaining the only evidence, The Apparition later gave him this disk. CBL had not felt pain unlike T-Ads' death because of the shock overriding any potential pain for the two.

**The Burning (T-Ads)**

Current State: Deceased

A deceased slugcat that has imploded and became **The Imbalance**. His relationship with his sibling is also close, T-Bm-S. CBL considers himself a father of T-Ads, but felt horrible not knowing how to help the slugcat and his slowly suffering health. CBL had found the slugcat imploded, orange skin everywhere with blood and a disk that lays dead on a crystal; that was the first time CBL had ever discovered the horrible potential of his slugcats imploding.

Burning showed signs of instability with constant nose bleeds and collapsing on the floor which had gotten worse overtime. This eventually led him to imploding. CBL had found out through his connection of the disk, blinding pain as the other imploded and it is unknown to how he had died other than ever decreasing stability overtime. His dead Disk lies with his sisters in the compartment.

**Luminous/Lumi (T-Gt-c)**

Current State: Alive (Sustains major injury scarring)

Lumi is a smaller than average slugcat that is either seen roaming or visiting his region, the slugcat sustains a missing arm, scratches and a bite wound, and missing part of his ear. He is typically friendly and gives extreme caution to lizards but obsessed over centipedes and his own companion of one, **Chrysti.** Lumi can be a clumsy fella.

CBL has taken cautionary this time after a while of depression throughout losing his slugcats and eventually making Lumi, ignoring his stress and problems in order to make Lumi happy, CBL considers himself a parent of Lumi.

**The Apparition (No Name)**

Current State: Alive

A slugcat from the previous slugcat, **T-Bm-s**, which he considers the parent of himself. CBL wants to act as a parent or even a caretaker, but CBL can tell that the slugpup seems not keen with the idea as the slugcat wishes not to be a reminder of someone he used to be, CBL tries his best to overcome the mindset that The Apparition is a different being, even if he misses **T-Bm-S**.

He has Daft which he considers as a parent. This left CBL distraught though understood as he doesn't even consider himself even as a good caretaker. He had heard the conversation before him and Daft had left:

***"It's ok, I'll tell you... So, there were two other slugcats and one of them died, like permanently and I don't know why, it made . . . Someone really sad. I don't know what I did but I... Uh that Someone was really sad, and she may have drowned, and I think that's why I exist and I, and I am just a reminder of her, and I keep reminding the robot about her and I make him sad, I hate this I hate this I hate making him sad I want TO BE ME AND NOT JUST AN APPARITION OF WHAT IM SUPPOSED TO BE!"***

He had closed himself off, distraught and mind fragile beyond belief, not wanting to traumatize this slugpup's new life; he had not bothered them any longer. The Apparition has yet to come back after that one meet, CBL breaking down even more and leads to more holding in about his past.

**The Imbalance (No Name)**

Current State: Alive

A slugcat from the previous slugcat, T-Ads, The Imbalance left CBL's can as quickly as she could when she woke up and managed her motor ability, CBL assuming that he'd never see her again only for a meetup of the two.

The contact was awkward, stressing CBL as The Imbalance stared him down with a blank gaze that had looked as if being menacing towards CBL, leading to the awkwardness. Eventually, The Imbalance gave admittance that she will not bother staying in the region as this is "not home" to her, saying that herself.

CBL became closed off and stopped thinking of how bad of a parent he is, only desperately trying to make everyone happier in the end with The Imbalance giving no remembrance nor bothered to care as she left quickly after the interaction.

**Aphrodite (V-Pl-us)**

Current Status: Alive

This slugcat is the first to not be designed after a star, but rather a planet. Aphrodite is a smaller than slugpup sized slugcat and only her orbs glow rather than her fur itself like the rest so mandatory phosphorus consumption is less needed.

CBL acts like a parental figure, but their relationship is complicated; Aphrodite hates CBL. She finds him boring and too noisy, CBL is only aware of her distaste, not the hate and sneering she gives out, this revelation was found out by **Hylo** which he had not told CBL of this. CBL is extremely hurt, but whatever makes her happy even if she decides to never visit him again.

**Hylo (H-Agc-sa)**

Current Status: Alive (Sustains major injury scarring)

This slugcat is an extremely long slugcat with orange fur (lighter shade than Burning) and contains unique features like his halo/rings, four arms and six legs, abnormally long tail, etc. Hylo has adopted the mannerisms of a crystal centipede and lizard by influences, he also 'walks' which is actually a crawl similar to centipedes.

Hylo received a large amount of scarring, now blind with massive scar tissue over his face and missing a middle arm being the main factors, also containing large scars of scratch wounds with part of the base of his tail bitten off.

This slugcat is more kept to self, but in his friendly behavior he typically gets touchy with his tail and maybe even body, he does this with his family and friends a lot. The slugcat is a supergiant and needed the support of two Stability Disks.

## Logs

The recorded logs are listed here:

Logs
```
*Log Start*
"I... Do not know what to feel. One of my slugcats had been found writhing in pain when I was alerted of this by a big star. Burning... I do not know what to say. They seem to have exploded of some sort and became a different slugcat. As if it was a star changing into a neuron star of something. I had ordered almost all of my stars to quickly head to the medbay with Burning."
*Next Cycle*
"It seems that Burning has recovered rather well, but their disc had changed into a deep red. It is- unnerving. I don't feel good over this. I don't know what to say to the other slugcats, they sometimes acted like siblings as well. But... I'll have to tell them about this sometime. This incident had happened some cycles after Ares' leaving. I knew of Burning's defective birth, but I wanted them to be happy. I just did not know it'd be this soon... I feel sick despite me not having necessary components for that kind of thing.
*A few cycles later*
"They had woken up. I have grave news as I predicted. The transformation that occurred caused Burning to lose their memories. As much as I miss them, I can only stare at this picture for so long before breaking down again and again." There was a shuffle and a shuddering sigh. "I- it doesn't feel right to call them Burning. I'll love them just as much, but this isn't the same being as Burning was. This isn't the same as what their other slugcats will remember no matter what. It feels like I'd be applying hope that Burning would come back, or they'll act as a replacement."
*An hour later*
"I had put a star in the room of the medical bay with a speaker and hologram showing me. I wanted to talk to them and make sure they were alright. They were acting... Strange per say. They spoke strangely and had less empathy. Either way, I still love them. Even if the the hole in my heart is set, I won't cripple over this. I still have my job and my other slugcats to take care of. All is not lost."
*Multiple cycles later*
"They had left. I do not know if they are coming back, I just know that they were bored and liked the idea of adventure in one of my tellings. They did seem to keep their word on things and be kind sometimes despite the lack of empathy, so I do hope that they can at least make a friend. Even if they never do come back..." A sharp inhale as the iterator got a little emotional. "I- I still have my other pups, they are wonderful! This is the first time I've had a loss of a slugcat like this. I do not know how to feel, they- no she said she preferred 'she'. She will be fine. My slugcats have a free will and I cannot make her stay. I just wish this kind of incident never happened. Though that would mean Imbalance would never be born. I- I need to calm down. Calm down- Calm down-" The log abruptly cuts off, the iterator sounding hysterical when he proceeded to get overloaded with emotions.

```
*Log Start*
"T-Bm-S had left. They had thought that I would be better if they left. I don't know what to think, I want to help them for their well-being, I do not require sustenance or such either, making them more necessary. The news of potentially Burning being gone in his new form was a heavy thought. I... I'll talk about this later. This interaction was too recent."
*A cycle or two passes*
"I have not heard from Main-Sequence. I know that they require time, but they also left for my own mental health, I can feel this hollowness deteriorate me. It feels painful... I- I want to see them both again. I want to see my two innocent slugcats again. I do not know why I feel this way, it's just as if something bad will happen."
*Multiple Cycles Pass*
"I- I can't hear myself think, but I also can. Everything hurts. I'm not physically harmed, but my body won't stop shaking! I just want my family back- Why- Why can't I have just made them normal?! THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE HAPPIER-" He abruptly cuts off, minutes of silence except for the sobbing in the background, it sounded like he was pounding on some metal, just mourning as more sobs reached the log. Then the log suddenly cuts off.
*Two cycles later*
"I am recording this log with a sleeping guest. Or I guess my new family. I- I... I don't know how to feel. They remember stuff, but they also do not. I-" A distressed, long-winded sigh came from him. "I found out that Main-Sequence has... Passed. The start of the cycle. Apparently, he- he was near a river with some sad emotions noted." The breathing became worse, full on sending him into a panic attack. "I- I don't know why- Were they unhappy? Unsatisfied? Why had it turned out like this?! My slugcats- No- MY FAMILY-! I- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS-! PLEASE JUST COME BACK-!"
*Beginning of next cycle*
"I'm lucky they didn't wake up to me yelling. They have left. I do not know if they will return. If they ever will. I guess I can wait... I'm used to waiting... -It's silent. Alone with me and my thoughts. Maybe watch the stars...? No... There's no point. There's no point in trying to be happier. I know that void will never be healed. They won't come back either. I can take care of the other two if they bother coming back, but I just lost my family. There's no point other than to just wait, do my job, and let the thoughts hurt me. I deserve it for being a failure to them anyway."

 Log Entry #1 - Start
```
*Start Log*
There is a slight shuffle before a timid voice speaks up, "H-Hello? Is this thing working...?" He asks before some noises of metal were heard in the background.
"Ah- it is... Uhm, I don't really know what to do so I might as well say stuff and add onto it into different parts maybe? I do not know where I am... It's purple. I guess... I don't really know what to call this place, I tried leaving through those black pipes-"
A mutter in the background- "Wait how do I know what those are...?"
Asking to himself before speaking up again, "Anyway... I don't know where I am, there's these big star things that look like they can hurt me, but they seem... Nice? I don't know, they can't speak though."
"It is... weird, I have this strange thing with my hands, once of them burns something and one of them freezes stuff and I can't control it... Hopefully I'll be able to, but this lack of control is very frustrating to me...!" He got a bit louder before quieting down.
"This place... It looks poor, it looks like it's been... Abandoned I guess the word for it...? It's an absolute wasteland. It makes me want to create, but I don't know how. Maybe I should get something to cover my hands before attempting anything though. I burned some of the old items with one of my hands so I probably can't create yet. This is so confusing... Well, I'll make another log when I figure things out, I guess... I don't know, this is all too confusing for me, and I don't understand a single thing."
There was a loud sigh and a noise that sounded like someone flopping onto the floor.
"Wait, how do I turn this thing off??"
There was some confusion in his voice before some shuffling of somebody getting back, there was some silence before a click was heard, ending the log.
