**⤫** was a major character appearing in both acts of *The Bottom of the Void*. ⤫ was one of the four characters on the door of adminspace, along with ✺, ꕚ, and . ⤫, like ꕚ, has white skin; both oppose ✺ and are developers.

While ⤫ debuted in Act 1, they played a much larger role in Act 2.

## Role

⤫ was a developer for Grejang. His job was to approve and deny things for their archives. He was working for them during Act 1, but somehow got lost in The Beyond, and was abandoned.

## Personality

⤫ was shown to be very forgetful, with others outright stating it, and with him keeping a journal of important things to remember. He was also very particular about things, from trying to close a door the right way to following an exact path the same way each time. ⤫ was very empathetic, helping Mark leave skybase4, and attempting to warn Nguyen to leave The Beyond.

From the episode "nguyen's" and onwards, ⤫ had a drastic change in personality, and it almost seemed like he lost his personality altogether. When he spoke he was extremely stoic, and like Nguyen his typing style now had completely proper grammar and capitalization, although his text color had also changed to purple. He also seemed more panicked, yelling and talking in caps a lot.

## Appearance

From his debut to Footage #20, ⤫ had an entirely white skin except for his head, which shows his name in black text.

Between Footage #20 and "tn14," his skin became drastically different. His head shows a circle in the middle with four squiggly rays radiating from the diagonals, possibly resembling a black hole. On his body and legs, his black outlines are of straight lines, and his arms feature diagonal lines, much like ✺ but inverted.

Starting from 6:32 in "tn14," ⤫ has become a blank, meaning a completely white skin, with his "username" simply being "BLANK."

### Act 1

⤫ debuted in demo02, which he recorded. In a book, ⤫ notes to ꕚ (the author of the book) that there should be a report for repeated patterns and signs it.

In orders, ꕚ requests ⤫ to fix the Void Errors by typing "`lvl.voidexpunge`" in the terminal room. ⤫ navigates the Sky4 Sector, finds the terminal, and runs the command.

In v=3VWJelB3Hmk, ⤫ greets Markus, who is not supposed to be in the Sky4 Sector. ⤫ tries to teleport Markus to his old world; however, ✺ breaches, along with Subjugate and Integrity.

In Investigating a breach in Sky4; Sector 1, ꕚ tells d1 and d2 that five entities were present during the breach, including ⤫.

While ⤫ doesn't appear in any other Act 1 videos, ⤫ is one the four players whose skin appears on the adminspace door, along with ꕚ, ✺, and .

### Act 2

In "Nguyen's Footage - #14 Beyond," ⤫ tells Nguyen to leave the area they were in. Nguyen questions ⤫, but the latter was hesitant to reveal anything.

⤫ recorded tn12, with directions to get out above his hotbar. ⤫ reads a book titled "Things to remember in the beyond," and adds #14, #15, and #16 to it. Once in his house, he adds #17 (mistyped as #15) and adds, "Goodbye," to "ramblings of a madman."

In "Nguyen's Footage - #19 Found," Nguyen finds ⤫ in another house. ⤫ questions how Nguyen found him; Nguyen revealed that his friends (likely the developers) led him to ⤫. Nguyen asks ⤫ to defeat the director.

In "Nguyen's Footage - #20," Nguyen leads ⤫ to the Grejang management of the servers. Nguyen reveals that he was trying to access the author's sets. The pair then locate 4B or 4D, where they enter a mysterious place with a dark blue hue. Nguyen soon realizes that they are not supposed to be present before ⤫ finds a blank. Nguyen and ⤫ follow the blank, who falls down.

Nguyen is in the place to find out that they exist; he reveals the place is called "Nowhere," and that they are looking for Everything. They then note that Nothing cannot exist and is therefore unknown to them. ⤫ and Nguyen briefly re-encounter the blank character, who begs the two not to abandon them; they then reach a dead end. "Nowhere" is revealed to be infinitely large and unsafe; anyone who remains will also become blank.

⤫ finds a weird block and warns Nguyen not to look at it as it made ⤫ feel unwell. Nguyen enters the block without ⤫; Nguyen says that if his plan fails, ⤫ has a 50% chance that he will become blank.

In "nguyen's," ⤫ follows Nguyen, who is recording. ⤫ also has a new skin similar to ꕚ's. They enter a hallway, and the video ends.

While ⤫ doesn't appear in "Nguyen's Footage - #23 Depository Halls," he is seen talking to Nguyen and ⅄; ⅄ and ⤫ are friends. ⤫'s text is purple.

In "Nguyen's Footage - #24 Blank," ⤫ and Nguyen are seen in Nowhere again. Blank is relieved to see The Father return, as ⤫ and Nguyen note. ⤫ tells Nguyen that he started turning into a blank, and that the Father supplied the blanks to the author. Next, ⤫ states that the blanks rot until "they have no soul or personality, only fragments of their past left." ⤫ does note that author is planning something (such as an army, for example) with the blanks.

Several seconds later, ⤫ says that, ever since Nguyen led him into Nowhere, ⤫ "knew nothing, and everything about it," and that "[t]he only thing beyond truth is nothing." "And nowhere is nothing, which is where we 'arent' [*sic*]." ⤫ then follows up with Nguyen's weakness: knowing everything, not nothing. Since the Author of Father know about Nowhere, ⤫ doubts that Nguyen could predict the place or the the aforementioned's actions. ⤫ suggests that they leave the place, since it is "resetting to another concept." ⤫ then says he'll explain later.

In "Nguyen's Footage - #25 The End of Nowhere," ⤫ and Nguyen find The Father. ⤫ and Nguyen are understandably confused.

In "tn14," ⤫ encounters Psi (likely an impostor of ꕚ), who blamed ⤫ for a serious typo. Then, ⤫ meets K34gJe9, who has a similar skin to . Notably, both characters' skins are dark and have a checkmark on their face. However, K34gJe9's body reads "VOID." K34gJe9 taunts ⤫, claiming that Brutality is "coming for you, at 386km/h" and has killed ⤫'s friends, including Nguyen. ⤫ doubts K34gJe9, calling him a liar and noting the wrong names and place. K34gJe9 refutes, saying it's the truth and that they are higher than even The Father or Author. K34gJe9 then proclaims that ⤫ has five minutes to live. ⤫ denies their claims, saying they'll live on.

The video cuts, and ⤫ has been turned into a blank. He enters 7j and finds someone. Someone greets ⤫, noting the long journey and his blank skin. ⤫ then tells Someone to find Nguyen at 9B, likely Laketown (as pointed out by Someone). ⤫ approaches 9B but then slows down and freezes. ⤫ says goodbye before dying via fading away.
