**Warning: This page contains spoilers for the plot of the *HybridSMP***

*Please note: everything in the HybridSMP is fictional and should not be taken seriously. It is extremely disrespectful to send hate towards anyone involved.*

**Sketch** joined on the 21st of November, 2021, with Daixxa, Stars, and Fish. They are one of the most solitary and pacifist characters. They prefer to spend time in her farm and garden, rather than speaking to others. Sketch has a strong sense of morals that is repeatedly tested. The two others Sketch has interacted with the most are Cryptk and Fish.

## Physiology

### Appearance

Sketch has dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and is of average height. They wear flowers throughout her hair, tan overalls, an off the shoulder blouse, tall brown boots, and a fingerless glove on his right hand. Sketch supposedly has literal green thumbs.

### Powers and Biology

Sketch has “bonemeal hands,” which means they can grow flowers, crops, grass, and trees with simply using an empty hand on dirt, soil, grass, or saplings. They are photosynthetic and primarily get sustenance from the Sun, and if needed can drink honey bottles because he starves at night. It is not known if Sketch is a plant humanoid or not, and why they have chlorokinetic powers. She deals twice as much damage in water and takes twice as much damage from fire. However if in water for too long, Sketch would become turgid and "burst."

## Personality

Sketch is an introvert but can be very friendly behind the stoic demeanor. They do not trust strangers and will lie to get people to leave her alone. In first conversations, Sketch can either be very confident or awkward. He would never hurt anyone, even mobs or a fly, and swears to never craft a sword. Sketch acts tough and icy when threatened but it is partially to mask his fear. They want to avoid conflict at all costs, so when caught in a tricky situation, she will panic. Sometimes when under stress, Sketch will let slip information and forget to lie for their own safety. If someone gets close to Sketch, she becomes very protective and takes on a “guardian” role. He is haunted by flashes of the past which makes her draw more into isolation and even away from friends. Sketch fears letting down those he cares about. She likes rain, flower forests, and animals, and dislikes hostile mobs and the Nether. Sketch’s favorite flower is the Lily of the Valley, and their favorite wood type is spruce. Sketch is canonically bisexual.

## History

### Backstory

Sketch recalls being friendly with witches and being taught potion-making by them. He cannot remember if they have gone to the Nether or not. Villagers disliked Sketch for xer affinity with the witches, but were supposedly friendly people.

### The Beginning

**His wake-up**

Sketch did not wake up on The First Day, but did some weeks later. Sketch wakes up with no memory of her name, a terribly blurry memory, and a burning sensation throughout xer body. Sketch hides from the rain in Cryptk’s home, and is threatened with a bow on suspicion of stealing. Cats kills mobs that threaten Sketch throughout the night. Later, Sketch meets Fish, Bun, Stars, and Timebomb. They discuss the books and waking up. Sketch then goes and finds where to make a home, and discovers an empty village.

**Meeting Fish**

After two days of being on the server, Fish seeks out Sketch because he is interested in the floran’s abilities. The pair get to know each other, even discussing Cryptk and Fish’s familiarity with them. Daixxa interrupts the conservation, but leaves in silence. Fish and Sketch further discuss the other members and their current situation. They consider each other their first allies on the server. The two go to Fish’s house and eventually Cryptk shows up, and afterwards Fish discusses his complicated relationship with Cryptk. Sketch learns of Cryptk’s plan to “break” Fish’s mind in order to discover his past. Sketch is scared of the concept and for Fish, but does not interfere and simply tells Fish to stay safe.

### The Experiments

**The Market**

Sketch builds a market in a nearby plains biome in order to foster friendship. Cryptk shows up and recognizes Sketch from the waking day. Cryptk finds it strange that Sketch names their animals, remarking that Sketch gets too attached to things that will disappear. Cryptk asks what Fish and Sketch discussed, which Sketch does not reveal and lies about. Cryptk says to watch out for Lemon, that people will try and murder Sketch, and that Fish will leave one day. Once Sketch mentions her flashes of memory, Cryptk shows great interest and is annoyed by the floran’s reluctance to look more into the memories. Cryptk apologizes for nearly shooting Sketch on their waking day, and Sketch accepts, which is a lie. Then, Cryptk asks if Sketch would want to participate in an experiment that would exploit the flashes of memory. Finally, Sketch calls the encounter pleasant, but Cryptk denies it and just calls it business. After Cryptk leaves, Sketch debates if they should participate in the memory experiments but ultimately decide not to. They remark he’ll record memories and talk to Fish. It is not known if this occurs because not long after the meeting with Cryptk, Sketch disappears into seclusion.

**The Letters**

While in isolation, Sketch keeps a journal of symptoms and thoughts for every day. Sketch worries after Fish and records words and physical pains that she has been experiencing. In another day of isolation, Sketch stumbles upon a letter that has been left for him by Cryptk. The letter implies that Fish has died which sends Sketch into a spiral of despair. They feel guilty over the inability to have protected Fish from Cryptk and grief turns to anger. Sketch writes in xer diary a threatening letter to Cryptk which she then delivers to the remains of the strider's home.

**New Faces, Old Foes**

Still in isolation, Sketch is visited by Sperlo and Timebomb because Timebomb discovered the letter and journal they had left for Cryptk. Apparently, Fish had told no one else about Cryptk's memory experiments and Sketch promptly informs the two of its torturous aspects. Then, the pair tell Sketch that Fish is once again alive and partly blind due to unknown circumstances, involving Lemon. Sketch also learns that Fish encouraged Lemon to blow up Cryptk's house and Vix is deceased. Sketch begins to doubt his anger towards Cryptk due to Fish's seeming revival, but clarifies they still meant what xe said in the letter. Sperlo and Timebomb talk about plans to go and confront Cryptk, which Sketch eavesdrops on. Sperlo leaves alone and Timebomb and Sketch have a pleasant conversation. They visit Little Gay Land, which Sketch previously thought was a bouncy house. The two also visit Spawn and the ruins of Lemon and Vix's house. Sketch and Timebomb then meet Jet and discuss memories, Sketch mostly third wheels. All three then go to Jet's house to get netherwart for potion-making. To do this they must enter the Nether, which scares Sketch. Timebomb is comforting though and they make it to Jet's house, which Sketch takes a liking to. Soon after, the pair without Jet return to Spawn. By accident, Sketch stumbles into Fish exiting the Nether portal and two awkwardly catch up. They are happy to see each other though and promise to catch up in more detail later. Sperlo then arrives, appearing to have burnt wings, though she denies it. Sperlo tells Sketch that in response to their letter, Cryptk said it meant "results" and "progress." Sketch then sits back and listens to Timebomb, Sperlo, and Fish discuss Cryptk's hurtful actions and their family dynamic. Timebomb and Sperlo leave, and Fish and Sketch once again promise to catch up in the future.
