Name: Kuxu [KOO-zoo]
Pronouns: it/they/any

Species: Xopas
Masterlist: Xopas-53

Theme: Metal Newt | Iglooghost

Kuxu is an inquisitive sort—a curiosity that borders on something almost like voyeurism at times, though it lies beneath a rather creature-like demeanor. It may seem to some that emotions barely touch them, with the way their calm tone never changes, and even their excitement can be expressed in subtle ways, like a wiggle in their jelly, a few light prances, or even just a tilt of their head. However, as they travel across time and space, they often become invested in the stories they see—wanting to see how they turn out, how different possibilities might go. They are intrigued by the way other realitykin, mortals, and other beings live their lives, and though their interest is benign, it can sometimes feel invasive.

Abilities

Kuxu has the general abilities of Xopas. They are able to freely and rapidly traverse across time and different timelines. They can switch between their base form (a small pulp state) and their power form (Pulp Form) by releasing their inner blood, which has the consistency of thick, firm, and malleable jelly and protects it from being crushed violently by its ability to jump timelines. Altering a timeline's components may cause paradoxes that worsen the entanglement of the Entity of Reality's cosmic threads, though their Xopas blood temporarily deflects these effects within a reasonable length of time. Prolonged exposure outside of its original timeline thins its jelly coating overtime, and further depletion leads to a gradual degradation of their ability to jump timelines. Their blood can be replenished by returning home and staying in their base form to rest.

Kuxu has a large degree of mastery over their timeline traversal, along with a large store of blood that allows them to wander across time and timelines fairly freely. Additionally, they are skilled in combat, though they mostly only battle out of necessity or self-defense. 

History

Kuxu is a Xopas born among the stars. For a long time—though time as a construct was strange to them, considering the circumstances—they jumped from timeline to timeline and past and future, their natural ability affording them long stays away from their timeline without too much risk. They enjoyed observing things, and watched many events unfold in a remarkably detached way until they met Azxa on a mission. Azxa explained that they already knew Kuxu, and that if this is their first time meeting for Kuxu, then they would like to invite it to Planet Xaoc. The two spoke a bit more before they parted; Kuxu told them that it would meet Azxa there, and in a blink that was a few years from that moment to the past, they sought out Azxa to meet for Azxa's first time. The two became friends, in their own way. 

Kuxu now continues to wander timelines and observe occurrences, and only records what occurs for historical archives since others asked them to. They do not care too much for fulfilling some duty to Xaoc society as a whole, but they don't want to be troubled by others for doing nothing to help, either.  

Relations

Azxa • Friend
Kuxu and Azxa are friends, in their own way—both of them divided from many others by their immense power and capabilities, and both odd in their interactions with others in part to their many years of solitude. Kuxu often seeks out Azxa, making it a little game of keeping track of Azxa's timeline and how well they know each other at that time and that timeline. Azxa enjoys hearing about Kuxu's adventures, happy to sit beside them quietly as they speak.
