## Friends/Allies

* **Mickey Giles:** Batty met Mickey by happenstance, but they were seemingly drawn together by a communal love of music, and the night sky. They became friends enough that Mickey called Batty for help during the Stranger show when Mickey and J4KY were attacked. Batty has some burgeoning feelings for Mickey which were cut short when Mod's hunters managed to kidnap Mickey and J4KY- Batty has no idea whether Mickey is alive or not.
* **Theo McLeod:** Batty and Theo were briefly affiliated via the Vastards Chat. But after the fallout of "The Bad Day" plot, Batty (Once he recovered from Disa's tranqs) messaged the Vastards Chat for help and Theo was the one who picked them up. Batty has been crashing on Theo's couch ever since.

## Enemies, Mortal or Otherwise

* **Al**- During the Events of The Stranger Show, Batty, while trying to get to Mickey, sent an Electric shock through Lizzy Baldwin- causing part of her body to Shatter. This kickstarted a fight between Al and Batty. While Batty doesn't hold a grudge, Al might.
* **Frank N. Stein-** After the events of the Stranger Show, Mickey, Batty, and Jaky were given "refuge" in Frank's home. Where later they were all jumped by Mod's hunters. Batty is aware that Frank sold them out. And while he isn't a revenge type... he is still angry.

## Notable Events

* **The Stranger Show:** When Mod's hunters started their attempted kidnapping of Mickey and Jaky, Mickey called Batty for help. Batty arrived and in the process of attempting to get Mickey, he was attacked by Al and Lizzy. Lizzy Batty was able to handle easily... Al nearly bit his head off.
* **The Bad Day**: Batty was involved in the successful kidnapping of Mickey and J4ky the morning after the Stranger show at Frank's house. He was involved in-so-far as he was quickly drugged by Disa and used a leverage against Mickey.

## Powers

* **Musically Minded:** Batty can channel the Vast through his music, anyone who hears it while not transported directly to the Vast, is touched by it.
* **Thunderstruck:** Batty, with enough energy, can channel bolts of lightening through his fingertips.
* **Running with the Wind:** Batty can run incredibly fast, Spurred on by the winds of the Vast, helped by his own Lythe speedy figure.
* **And Now.. the Weather:** Very strong emotional outbursts from Batty can effect the weather in certain areas
* **A Vast Reset:** Batty considers the Vast to be his true home, he has the ability to hop into it by simply hurling himself off of tall things such as buildings. This is however a last resort for him as it often takes him years-sometimes decades to come out again- and often results in him forgetting nearly everything from before the Vast.

## Backstory

Batty is not aware of his own History- his times falling through the Vast essentially act as a reset button on his memories. There are a few things he has remembered as of now:

* His mother dying in a mental institution. He was young, the Mental institution was old and unkempt.
* Sitting on a beat up couch, playing guitar with a man named Samuel. Batty feels complicated about Samuel. It is not a good complicated.
* Falling into the year 2013 meeting an absentminded boy named [REDACTED]

The rest is current day.
