Endless Starlit Void

Endless Starlit Void is a very relatively new Generation 4 iterator, created only mere cycles before the complete ascension of the Ancients. They are a very formal and rather strict iterator, though beneath their cold exterior is a mess of emotions that they do their best to hide.

## Appearance

Endless Starlit Void is a rather short iterator, as since she is so relatively new, technological advancements had allowed her creators to compact more processes in a smaller puppet. The craftsmanship of her puppet is very polished and sleep. She has deep, almost black "skin", with several silver accents and markings as well. Most notably, they have a large four-pronged star on their forehead, as well as "tear stains" under their eyes and smaller four-pronged stars on their cheeks. She also has silver-tipped fingers. They have two thin antennae on both head pieces, each ending with their own silver star. She has four exposed wires, purple in color, that connect her to her communication line.

Clothing-wise, Void has three layers. The lowest layer is a thin dress that descends down a little past her feet. It's a dark, rich purple color with stars speckled across it, clustered more towards the bottom of the dress where the purple is darker. Their second layer is a second dress, but this one is a pale lavender color and has a front slit that shows the starry patterning of the lowest layer. It also has loose sleeves that reach her hands. The third and final layer is a very short cloak that sits atop the other layers, the same rich purple and starry color as the first layer. The fabric lifts upwards like a cone around their head, acting as a mask and completely hiding their mouth from view. The bottom of this small cloak has many "tassels" of sorts, though instead of knotted fabric it's small silver stars tied onto thin strings attached to the cloak.

## Personality

### First Glance

Endless Starless Void, to many, is a very easy iterator to dislike, or even to hate. She's overly strict and is often extremely blunt and/or rude, seeming to either not care or somehow have no idea what the definition of "fun" is, being so no-nonsense. They're very formal and it is rare to see them display any sense of emotion other than maybe irritation. They often close themself off to the local group too, meaning that this cold exterior is often the most anyone will see out of her. Essentially, most can assume that she is a reserved loner-type jerk.

### A Little Deeper

Void, despite what they may seem, isn't just a prickly bastard. While a lot of their strictness does come from an actual belief that they are right, they don't usually intend to be rude or try to ruin any "fun". They just think very logically, almost *too* logically. If there's no apparent functional reason for the project or activity, she will argue that it is simply a waste of time and not very productive, simply because she thinks it's true. Being a later iterator it was part of their design to be much stricter about serving their creators. However, it isn't obviously apparent that this is out of any good intentions, and one would need to talk to her more to realize this. A bit tricky to do when it's like trying to spot some mythical creature in thick fog in order to see them in chat.

## Notable RP Events

#### Slugcat Creations

One of the last requests of one of Endless Starlit Void's citizens was to help catalogue the ecosystem surrounding her superstructure, so Void makes an effort to keep up this request. It was just something to distract themself with when they got frustrated at their lack of progress on their main task. However, Void noted the way that the scavengers kept on killing her overseers, and began to believe that she might be missing an important part of the ecosystem with her overseers. Other creatures like slugcats were able to see the behaviors of scavengers, while her overseers could not. How many other interactions between creatures were they missing all because their camera was an overseer? Void had no way to tell, so to solve this problem, they made a purposed organism: The Stargazer. Mixed with some white lizard adaptations and abilities, this new observer worked to discover the parts of nature that Void's overseers would never see.

After the success of their Stargazer, Void decided to do it again, but for a different purpose. They knew that other iterators had messengers of some kind, and Void thought that it might be a good idea to make one as well. After studying a slugcat's ability to make use of the antigravity effects of a mass rarefaction cell, Endless Starlit Void managed to create yet another purposed organism: The Ceraunophile. This slugcat made use of a mini mass rarefaction cell to drastically boost their mobility and speed, allowing them to essentially fly from one iterator superstructure to another, a perfect alternative for situations that called for delivering physical data.

#### Eldritch

It's pretty common knowledge about the state of Five Pebbles and his Rot, and Endless Starlit Void is very adamant about never allowing her structure to fall into the same condition. It is mostly due to the terrifying nature of the Rot and how horrifying of an idea it is to Void to be slowly consumed from the inside and under constant pain from the Rot eating away at her processes, but either way, it's important to know that she is very opposed to the idea of the Rot. This topic was brought up when she discovered that Revising Synthesis had created a purposed organism that was specifically designed to have the Rot, and Void was very, very upset by this.

Her fear presenting itself in the form of intense anger, Void confronted Revising Synthesis about his experiment. Revising tried to explain that it was controlled and that there had been no signs of Eldritch - the name of the purposed slugcat - becoming hostile or dangerous. Void did not believe him. After he tried and failed to reassure her by sending them the collected data about Eldritch, Void sent Revising a frustrated message via a pearl that threatened to hunt out and kill Eldritch if it ever came anywhere near her or posed as a threat to any iterator. They're not aware of how Revising reacted, seeing as they did not bother to send an overseer to watch.

#### Lasting Inheritance

Void was busy with her work when she got a message from Revising Synthesis. It was regarding an iterator named Live Laugh Love, whom had never appeared in chat before. He spoke of being able to help with Gilded Misfortune's condition (rust due to taking in high quantities of salt) if Revising could tell him the location of dead iterators to harvest parts off of. Uncomfortable with the idea, he asked Void for her thoughts on this. Void was pretty quick to say it wasn't all that necessary. With Void's input and the shifty behavior of LLL's slugcat the Thunderer, Revising decided to decline Live Laugh Love's offer of assistance. With an ominous farewell, it seemed like that was all.

That was most certainly all.

## Backstory

The backstory of Endless Starlit Void is withheld by the roleplayer for the purpose of figuring it out over time via roleplaying.

Until the backstory is known, a collection of minor notes that *have* been revealed will be made here.

* Void has more strict restrictions, taboos, and demands coded into her that alter her personality - most obviously, she still insists that she has to take care of her city and discover the solution to her creators' Great Problem.
* An iterator by the name of Clouds Conceal Stars is relevant to Void's past in some way, but she is not near the rest of the iterators.
* Void seems very strangely opposed to the idea of hating on the Ancients in any way. They won't even accept exceptions.
