Urti

Urti (full name is Urti Genaciqua Caria) is a fictional member of the Xplodin Crew. She is the first official fictional member to join as well as the first official OC created by Endermen295 (he does not count glitch as his first due to him only having a minor change in color pallet compared to his persona). She made her first appearance in the second season of Xplodin Archives, and has since appeared in almost all of Endermen’s art work since her initial appearance, as well as becoming an (unofficial) member of the Xplodin Crew.

## General information

Urti is known to generally be rather shy and very often stutters in her speech, unable to go sentences without the occasional stutter in her wording, and is commonly portrayed as a dainty female with blonde hair, a blue bow, purple hoodie, blue pants and purple shoes with access to a specially designed robotic left arm as well as a robotic right leg. Urti suffers from Aquagenic Urticaria, a condition that causes rashes and to an extent mild itching when in contact with water, though to her, this only applies on contact with her skin so she doesn’t necessarily have any problem with drinks unless they are spilt. She is also rather short in comparison to most of the other crew member’s standing at a small height of 4ft 9.

## Early Life

Urti was born on August 13th 2004 with a deformed right leg that had to be removed to prevent infection. During her early years in her life, she was diagnosed With Aquagenic Urticaria, and developed a minor fear for water, though despite this she mostly lived a normal and happy life.

On her 6th birthday at midnight, her house was involved in a house fire after a drunk driver crashed into it, causing the house to slowly fall to pieces and crumble. Whilst she and her father tried to escape, her left arm was caught under rubble, leaving her pinned to the ground, leaving her father no choice but to separate her arm completely just below the shoulder through the use of a butcher knife. She was the only survivor out her family (consisting of her father, pregnant mother and brother) of the house fire and has since developed an extreme fear of anything related to the use of fire.

Beyond that day what she is able to recall is unclear, so it is currently uncertain as to how she got her prosthetics.

## Appearance’s

Urti herself has appearance in almost every art illustration that Endermen has drawn since her reveal in Xplodin Archives.

Whilst Urti has appeared in both Archives as well as in Galactic Galaxy Explorers, it was confirmed that the Urti’s in those stories are different from one another, in that the Urti in archives has never met the crew in Galactic Galaxy Explorers and vice versa.

## Relationship (Endermen)

Whilst it is no secret that the two are commonly put together. It was originally said as a joke (who said it was unknown) though the creator (Endermen295) decided to go along and make them an official couple together, which has since been the result of a Valentine’s drawing of the two sat together in a park bench, with Urti striking energy into the sky in the shape of a love heart.

What the two do together is unknown, as no information has yet been given on this topic except for it being briefly mentioned in archives that both are rather nervous about the whole idea of going on a date.

## Inspiration/redesigns

Urti was created initially as a way to add more flavour to the cast in Xplodin Archives. Her general appearance of wearing a hoodie as well as a robotic arm was inspired by SMG4’s Tari, as well as Endermens recent interest in prosthetic/cybernetic arms. Her personality as well as her shy behaviour and phobias, come from Flaky from the show Happy Tree Friends, where the porcupine is mostly known to be extremely shy, scarred and have many fears/phobias, some of which were given to Urti.

Her initial redesign into giving her a more saturated look was done with inspiration from an artistic illustration of her drawn by Toxic, of which the style of her hair was used by Endermen295 to give her a more unique and saturated appearance. Her second more minor redesign was done when he digitalised a sketch of Urti drawn by someone on a separate discord server, of which he loved the round design, and chose to give her head that shape to make her look more natural, as well as slightly altering the style of her hair to match her new design.

When asked about any upcoming design changes, he said that if he was to ever redesign her again, it would probably be just some minor tweaks, as at the moment, he is currently happy with how she looks.

## Trivia

* Urti has gone through 1 major redesign (Impoving the saturation of her overall appearance as well as giving her hair a redesign) and 1 Minor redesign (Making her head round and slightly altering her hair).
* She was the first and currently the only crew member to have been clinically dead (where even though the heart stops beating, your brain is still functioning), though luckily she was revived by Lily.
* Her date of birth, August 13th 2004 was on Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th was also the date that her 6th birthday occurred, which is also when she lost her family. Wether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.
* She does have access to a stash of special pills capable of shutting down her condition, albeit only for a window of a couple of hours at a time.
* Her cybernetic arm as well as her leg, can both be removed by pressing down on 2 buttons located at the top of the prosthetic(s), waiting for the hissing to end, of which they can be removed with ease.
* From the information gathered, Endermen295 has stated that Urti will be his first, and only OC to have blonde hair, as he stated “drawing it can be a pain in the ass, given that the majority of the colors used for her hair are extremely similar and hard to tell apart”.
