## Basic Info

A programmer, ex-assassin, and full time bug, Auster is an isopod-like alien from the planet Sedpin. He ran away from the planet at 15 years old, thinking of it as a lifeless wasteland, and was recruited into Eclipse by his former boss, Juniper Alkmene. After being bitten by a wolf shifter on Vunis, Auster is able to shapeshift as long as he takes medication preventing him from being trapped in his wolf form.

He is an Inkling.

## Meeting the party

Auster was randomly teleported, as is usual Eclipse protocol, to Jasorite, meeting Cleo by complete coincidence. After teleporting he became an amnesiac temporarily, so he just followed Cleo and eventually the party, helping where he could but never officially stating that he actually wanted to join the party. While the party was trying to figure out a robot conspiracy theory, Auster was trying to figure out who he was meant to kill with the little info Eclipse transmitted to his brain. Looking through documents in the tri buildings, Auster found the name Adam Riley, which signalled in his head as a clue linked to the info Eclipse gave him. This would lead to his downfall. Auster the next morning drank brain juice, met the CEO of build-a-bot workshop, and said the name Adam Riley which locked Auster in as a target as it's a name that has been kept secret by the government. So Auster joined the rest of the party and ran off from Cashatier, making him an official party member.

## Game Info

Auster is a warrior with the vagabond background. He refuses to use guns due to his natural poor aim, instead opting for knives and a sword. Despite his eight years of assassin training, he is not known for a particular prowess in combat.

## Important Moments

### The Brain Juice Incident

Auster went to go check up on Charlie Allison the morning after they had investigated the robot conspiracy, only to see her drunk on the liquid that was used to preserve Dr Harmon's brain in a jar. Charlie drunkenly offered Auster the "brain juice" and Auster drank, making him drunk too. Auster then went to build-a-bot workshop to investigate the name Adam Riley, he went up to the CEO and asked directly "have you heard of Adam Riley", causing the CEO to call security and chase him and the party off of Cashatier for having forbidden knowledge.

### The Wolf Shifter Bite

On Vunis, Auster was left on his own as he teleported back from an Eclipse mission, so naturally he went around Pervis asking random people who he is. Through this he met a cop who gave him a chip that helped with the amnesia haze after being teleported and then joined the cop on an investigation of supposed wolf shifter kidnappings. While chasing the main suspect just behind the cop, the cop got bitten and turned into a wolf shifter. The two wolf shifters then attacked Auster, biting him and turning him into a wolf shifter. So then Auster had to find a way to stop the transformation from completing which was to meet Agnes Morrison, get a crystal from the wolf shifter mother and use that to make an antidote that doesn't actually cure the wolf shifter bite but delays the transformation if Auster take sips of it every day. This happening also gave Auster the ability to shapeshift as that is the main ability of the wolf shifters themselves. this means that he is a furry.

### Soapy Hands

While infiltrating DNN news headquarters, Auster shapeshifted into an employee he saw washing his hands. Because of this, he got soapy hands. He later used this as a (unsuccessful) cover for his bug-feeling hands.

If you gave James Team Rocket a knife, that is Auster.
