### Lotion: 2009 - 2011

Lotion does not recall much about his early life. He was a street cat in the truest sense of the word. He survived by his wits and salvaging scraps of food or eating whatever vermin he could catch. At some point, Lotion was caught and placed in an animal shelter in Coast City where he was adopted by Casey Brinke and Terry None.

### Lotion: 2011 - 2015

For the next four and a half years, Lotion lived a charmed life. He became a housecat who was showered with affection from his two female humans. He was named "Lotion" because his fur was just "so silky and soft". Lotion adjusted well when Casey and Terry moved from Coast City to Danny the Street. Lotion did not notice the difference more than a rearranging of his familiar furniture.

### Lotion: 2015 - Present

When Terry left the apartment on her bender, following her kiss with Casey, she made two crucial mistakes. The first was she had left an opened box of some of her $#!+ on the kitchen counter, and second, she had failed to close the apartment door. After neither Terry or Casey returned to feed Lotion that evening, Lotion got hungry. He knocked over the trash can, ate what he could there, and then went searching for more food on the countertop.

Lotion knocked over the box of the chthonic food additive on accident. Seeing that the box contained something which sort of resembled food, Lotion cautiously sniffed the food for a while before he tried some. The taste was remarkable and before he knew it, he ate the entire box of $#!+. The first side-effect caused Lotion to awaken his mind - he ceased being a cat and became something else. Unfortunately, this sudden shift in perception startled the cat, causing him to run around the apartment in a panic. At some point, he ran through the open door and onto Danny the Street.

Lotion kept running, for what seemed like hours until his legs could run no more. As he came to a rest, Lotion did not notice that he was no longer in his owner's apartment, nor was he still on Danny. Lotion succumbed to unconsciousness in an alleyway in Maple City. As he slept, he had the most vivid dream of his short life. He felt as though he soared the cosmos and was more free than he ever thought possible... and then the dream ended with him waking up cold and shivering.

As he awoke, Lotion realized he was now in a form similar to humans, with arms and fingers but retaining his feline head, fur, and tail. Lotion found clothes for added warmth and returned to a life of salvaging from dumpsters and trash. He kept to the outskirts of society and when he encountered humans, he was usually dismissed as a metahuman with feline features. But fortunately, Lotion's return to the streets was short-lived.

One night, just two weeks after his transformation, Lotion awoke from a catnap. He felt an odd sensation beckoning him back to the city. He turned down one street and found Danny. The residual chthonic energy that had transformed Lotion's mind and body had detected the potent vorpal signature of Danny, guiding Lotion to Danny like a compass. Within minutes of his return, Lotion noticed some missing cat posters plastering the buildings of Danny. Lotion headed for home and found Casey.

After Casey fainted, Lotion and she exchanged stories. Lotion explained his transformation and where he had been for two weeks while Casey explained the $#!+-drunk kiss she shared with Terry. As the discussion went on, the residual chthonics that had brought Lotion home honed in on Casey's vorpal physiology. Without realizing it, Lotion inched closer to Casey and she to him. Before either realized it, they were an inch apart, staring into each other's eyes. Who made the first move is difficult to say, but the two kissed passionately.

Lotion woke in the middle of the night to find Casey completely baffled by what had happened. Lotion had an epiphany at that moment, recalling an element of his transformative dream - concerning the magnetic relationship of chaos and order. Casey was still weirded out by all of it, but the combination of Lotion's spiritual consultation and the undeniable attraction she had for her former pet, Casey decided to not let the societal stigma get to her. The two became lovers, though not particularly exclusive.

Following the events of that fateful night, Casey went back to a regular rotation with the Doom Patrol, having taken an extended absence to search for her cat. Lotion crashed at Casey's for a day or two, playing video games. While he was setting a new top score on Danny Street's Pro Skater, Lotion verbally expressed his desire to wishing he could skateboard for real. In that instant, the game disappeared from his television screen and was replaced with the words "Why don't you?" followed by directions to 'Lotion's Little Skate Park'.

Lotion began to spend his mornings practicing his sick tricks and gnarly grinds. The cat's afternoons were spent at the park, leading group meditations. In the evening, Lotion enjoyed the company of Casey, and more recently, Terry. Though Lotion will always hold a love for Casey and Terry above any others, he has begun to distance himself from his former owners. They had a child together and Lotion felt his passion should be directed elsewhere.
