The Neighbor

The Neighbor

* Initial
* Second Look

**“The Neighbor”** is a male squirrel-like alien with antlers, known as a Squuny, played by PotentChaos in CloverCraft Season 2. He made his debut when his UFO crashed on the Warden’s personal island.

## Appearance

Neighbor is an alien that seems to take the form of a brown squirrel, albeit with bulbous eyes that are on the side of his head instead of the front, much like a fish, and formerly two antlers growing asymmetrically from his head. After attempting to check in on Jester while they were being jailed due to their Bill Wibbly possession, the Bill Wibbly-Jester broke the right antler off in order to make their escape.

## Personality

The Neighbor has a very shy and curious personality. On one hand, the neighbor is very curious about the nature of Earth creatures, asking many questions to clarify and learn more things. On the other he is very shy, choosing to stay underground and not directly interact with people. When people enter his tunnels, he begins to panic and scream. However, he has chosen to open up and reveal himself more, particularly to Jester, Clark and B-3-1-1.

He is also shown to be a bit haphephobic, being very uncomfortable when Null touched his newly revealed ears without consent. And also showing his young age in comparison to the other Island dwellers.

## History

The neighbor arrived on Holiday Island via a crashed ship. it struck the Wardens Island and prompted a rather intense chain of events. After having a conversation with the Warden and being told not to move, The Neighbor, in fear for his life, followed the Warden onto the island. He quickly got lost however and burrowed his way into the mountain by the port town. The same day, in a mad dash to find something to eat, he encountered Xerana, who followed him into his tunnels. He ran away quickly and made a new set of tunnels that would eventually connect to the old ones.

The Neighbor kept a low profile for a long time, making short interactions with Islanders but never for long. it wasn't until B-3-1-1 suffered his injury at the hands of Jester that Neighbor began opening up. Claiming he had to retrieve his A.I. from his ship in order to repair B-3-1-1, He snuck into the railway system and rode to Riddler's house, where he met up in a new tunnel with Clark. After some quick advice he successfully retrieved the A.I. without issue and made it home. At the start of the next session Doctor Stink was introduced and repaired B-3-1-1, and promptly disappeared. Soon after this he came across Jester in confinement which set off the series of events leading to Jester nearly escaping this confinement under Bill WIbbly's control. He lost his horn in this event, and Jester still carries it around in guilt. The next day, Jester and some others met up with Neighbor to give him a gift, and Prometheus prompted him to "get to work". While the others were concerned he slipped out of his tunnels and had his first on screen appearance without any apprehension or accident. It seems that he has been opening up more, and recently stood council to Jester while she had signed her contract to Penny.

## Abilities

The Neighbor is an extra terrestrial, and without a doubt hides many biological secrets. While the extent of these is has not been revealed, we have seen a number of unique capabilities.

* Cloaking - Neighbor frequently under goes changes to his physical appearance, and when asked will state that he has the ability to change his appearance through the use of a cloaking device. While his choice of words implies he can turn invisible, he has never exhibited this trait. It is presumed that he used this trait when repairing B-3-1-1 in the disguise of Doctor Stink, though this has not been confirmed.
* Telepathy - The Neighbor does not communicate through the text chat very often, but when he does he always stays in character, implicating that a buzzing sound pierces his targets head before the message comes through. It is also suggested a few times that this is one of the ways he hears and communicates from inside his tunnels.
* Intelligence - The Neighbor can be very Naiive, but between his super computer Prometheus providing him with updates on information he doesn't know, and a seemingly endless level of curiosity, Neighbor learns quickly. This doesn't always work out however, as it can lead to him becoming confused easily, such as when he first arrived The Warden introduced him to earth's culture through memes, and Neighbor now believes a number of incorrect details about history.
* Mimicry - The Neighbor has shown he has the ability to replicate sounds he has heard. the exact extent of this power is not explored, but he has replicated multiple lines from Jester, spreading mild confusion and mischief. He cannot change the inflections of these lines however and is often figured out rather quickly.

* **Adept Technology Capabilities**: The Neighbor is shown to be extremely capable with technology, having repaired B-3-1-1's head and screen by using parts from his crashed spaceship.
	+ **Space Ship Piloting**: While the exact cause for the crash is unknown, the Neighbor is at least somewhat adept at piloting extraterrestrial crafts.
* **Tunneling**: The Neighbor is most known for his excessive tunnels throughout the island, with their labyrinthian nature, the Neighbor is the only one to navigate them easily.

## Bases

Neighbor has no distinct base, living in tunnels built under the island. However he is known to make frequent appearance underneath Jester's Carnival, and has made some changes to the basement. Having built what appears to be the frame of a Space-Ship, it is clear that the Nieghbor frequents this area often, and is where he was first seen by Jester.

## Trivia

* The Neighbor got his name from Jester referring to him as "my neighbor" since he is living under their carnival. Eventually the name stuck with the other islanders.
