Spectrum

Biographical Information Physical Description Meta Information Spectrum (known in-game as ChaosControl_VA, and formerly known as Subject-0189) is an enhanced Leaffoot Knight and Farmer. He was created by the (now long extinct) Leaffoot Empire to succeed their emperor on the Leaffoot throne before the empire fell, and he was sent forward in time to modern day to escape the destruction that awaited his people. He currently resides in the Greatwhite Isles.

Appearance
Being a Leaffoot, Spectrum's appearance is quite extraordinary. He's a slim spiky creature with red fur that covers most of his body, and peach skin that covers his muzzle and insides of his ears. He has small, triangular ears on top of his head, nine long quills on the back of that head, with brown eyes. He also has two spines protruding from his back behind his shoulders, and a short tail.

For attire, Spectrum wears shoes that are blue from the heel to the middle and white from the middle to the toe with gray soles; and a pair of white gloves with sock-like cuffs on the hands (same with his socks). He also has a (wrecked) wrist-mounted grappling hook, and black flame (almost tribalistic) tattoos all over his body. Sometimes, he wears a t-shirt with a stylized text that reads "ChaosControl VA" on the front of it. No one seems to know what that may mean...

Personality
His personality is an "interesting" one, in large part thanks to his (high-functioning) autism. When he sets his goals on something, he can commit to it all the way; when he wants to. He's also very creative and very perceptive, but can also get very loud when upset or flustered.

However, he's also sensitive (physically and mentally), and extremely apologetic when he thinks/knows he's screwed up. And along with having weaker hands, his condition also makes him feel lonely at times (knowing he barely has anyone to really talk to about things).

While he does have friends in the Greatwhite Isles, Spectrum is a very lonely feeling person, feeling as though there's no one he can deeply and truly talk with. Which is way he's also romantic (having been inspired by tales of love), hoping to find a true companion to wed; one that will be willing to understand and listen, but also for him to do the same for her.

Abilities
Being an enhanced Leaffoot made at the height of the Leaffoot Empire, Spectrum has magical implants in his brain that allow him to read and control the minds of other races. Unlike his fellow Leaffoots who had implants that were set to one specific race or a set of specific races, Spectrum was created to succeed the Leaffoot Imperial throne, and that meant he needed to be outfitted with implants that could reach all races of creatures. However, at this current time, he does not remember how to control them; however, he can use them knowingly or not, giving him an extra powerful ability of persuasion.

In a Leaffoot Lab
Subject-0189 was artificially birthed in a lab run by the Leaffoot Empire, hundreds of years before the modern day town of Raskara had even existed in its place on the map and before the first humans migrated to the continent of Rathir, for the sole purpose of succeeding the current emperor (at the time). He was assigned to a Leaffoot scientist named "Arg'yl Fungius" (who cataloged his research on him, and the other subjects like him, in his personal lab journal) and was grown with accelerated aging magic, and given special magic implants in his brain that allowed him to read and control the minds of all living races (unlike the rest of his kin, who had implants set to control a specific race or set of races), giving Subject-0189 the nickname "Spectrum."

He persuadably spent his days training to use his implants, along with his other enhanced brethren. However, a resistance among the races the Leaffoots had enslaved eventually destroyed their empire from within, and had went about exterminating their captors. Arg'yl Fungius, along with a few remaining Leaffoot scientists, locked themselves in one of their lab, and sent Subject-0189 through one of their portals there to an unknown time and place. And in his final moments before the resistance broke their way into their lab, Arg'yl wrote a final message to Spectrum in his journal, hoping he would find it one day.

Waking up in Modern Day
Subject-0189 woke up in the wilderness of modern day Rathnir, far away from the location of the Leaffoot lab, and not remembering anything about who he is or where he may have come from. All he knew was that he was a Leaffoot, along with one word: "Spectrum." Not knowing much else about the word, he decided to use it as his own name. Now all he had to do was find a place to call home; and maybe make a few friends along the way, as he was all by himself.

Coming across the Greatwhite Isles
Spectrum wandered around the lands of Rathnir for some time, searching for any civilization he could take refuge in. While wandering he discovered High Hermitage, hoping to live among the Cubists in their mountain town. However, no one was around to help him out.

Thankfully, he was contacted by representatives of the Greatwhite Isles, who were looking for new recruits. Spectrum joined, and travelled to the isles immediately. There he would (most notably) meet Chusi Kunnimal, LunarRaine, and the isles' king, Shark Greatwhite. They kindly welcomed him into their town, and have been gracious and kind to him since (excluding LunarRaine, of course).

Having successfully integrated into their culture, Spectrum moved into the town of Raskara (before the town was enveloped into the Greatwhite Isles, and until he moved multiple times elsewhere throughout the nation), joined their military ("the Knights of the Isles"), and started to make money off of farming the local wheat and selling it in Shark's general store. All the while, he began to write down his adventures into his own personal journal, and personally adopts a mission to make a name for himself in this world of kingdoms and wars; along with finding out more about his race.

Attempt on the Royal Family's Life
While attending a party among the townspeople, Spectrum witnessed an assassination attempt (led by Enzohh Odio Talatra) against King Shark and Queen Nuggets (notably a member of "House Celestine"). Though he tried his best to assist and defend royal family and the Greatwhite Isles, the other Knights and party-goers had the situation covered.

While tension was high among the people of the Isles, this attack thankfully didn't result in some prolonged conflict. Odio published an apology to the Queen, and Spectrum could rest easy; for a while.

The Battle of Fornost
Awhile after the assassination attempt against Shark and Nuggets, an entity known as Serga (and her followers) attempted to take the city of Fornost. Hearing of this all throughout the Greatwhite Isles, Spectrum and Chusi went to Fornost to join the conflict. Fear and panic took over Spectrum as he would run through the battle-torn streets of the city, though he would attempt to slay a giant in all the chaos. However, he was slain during the assault, and mysteriously reborn through the Greatwhite Isles' own "Soul of Kunni."

Realizing his possessions were still in the city, he made the long trek back to the city on foot. Eventually, he made it to the city (despite the pain and hunger) through sheer willpower, and a fixation on taking back what was his. From the looks of things, Spectrum assumed that Serga's forces took the city. Despite this, he managed to collect his belongings, and make it back home. The adventure toughened his resolve, knowing he could live to fight another day (especially if Kunni wished it so).

The Arrest of Rampagingram710
After the Battle of Fornost, Spectrum got the chance to truly prove himself as a Knight of the Isles when Rampagingram710 (a member of the Greatwhite Isles) kidnapped one of the royal family cats: "Pussy Mama." Hearing the news, Spectrum requested permission from the royal family to hunt down "Rampage" and bring him to justice, to which they agreed.

Spectrum (along with King Shark, Heroluke20, and Zillionaires Frostborn) managed to hunt him down in Descemont (it was mostly Shark that found him there though, of course), after which Spectrum requested to have him thrown into the Greatwhite Isles dungeons; which King Shark and Queen Nuggets also agreed to. While Rampage resisted at first, he eventually surrendered and was escorted by Spectrum and his group to a cell in the castle dungeon of the Greatwhite Isles. With this, Spectrum's confidence in being a knight was tripled, and he now knew for sure he was in the royal family's good graces when they promoted him to be the Greatwhite Isles' Police Chief (while also converting the Knights of the Isles into his own Police Force); a title which he put to good use during the later arrest of LunarRaine for the attempted murder (by drowning) of Exploite (the Isles' military general) shortly afterwards, among other things such as assaulting and threatening officers of the law.

The GWI Police Station Riot
After construction on the GWI Theatre was completed, Chusi (as the Master of Ceremonies) decided to hold a party in the theatre; which Spectrum happily attended. However, it quickly got out of control, thanks to LunarRaine, Heroluke20, MiniMinty, and Zombie Eldiko, who all disrupted the event by attacking each other and Spectrum. It got so out of hand that Chusi left to get away from it all. So Spectrum decided to take matters into his own hands.

He arrested MiniMinty for assaulting him and the rest of the party attendees. However, once he brought Mini to the prison, LunarRaine, Heroluke20, and Zombie attacked Spectrum together. They broke Mini out of the prison, destroyed said prison, beat up Spectrum, stole his belongings and destroyed them, stole from each other, and even vandalized Spectrum's house in (formerly) Raskara. It got so out of hand, King Shark stepped in to issue a warning to them, and suggest them serving a sentence (which Spectrum tried to implement). But they continued to act in the same way as before, regardless. Eventually, once their sentence had been fulfilled (somehow), Spectrum forced them out of the prison (for the most part).

Needless to say, that night left Spectrum feeling pretty defeated and demoralized. While King Shark told him to back off the next time that group acted out, Spectrum still felt as though he wasn't fit to lead the police (especially as their only available policeman at the time). He wasn't sure what to do. Luckily for him, MiniMinty wound up leaving the country after the incident, but that was the only silver lining he got from that group of people for awhile; as shortly after, they raided his house, rigged it with traps, and vandalized it with signs that had "questionable" language. Later though, another silver lining came when LunarRaine became untrusted in GWI.

The Mysterious Journal
When Spectrum tagged along with Shark and a few others to plant some jungle trees outside (formerly) Raskara and Serenity (after Shark had taken part in the war between Tortuga and Lorent), Spectrum stumbled upon some recently excavated ruins near the planting area. It was an area that Shark didn't recognize, and it also was there that Spectrum (along with Shark and the others) found a journal in the ruins that only Spectrum could access. It was addressed to him, although, he had no memory of it. Worse yet, the journal itself was filled with pages of seemingly random letters (with only a few pages containing one full English sentence: "ENTRIES CORRUPTED").

While the group didn't know what to make of it at first, they quickly discovered that certain letters repeated themselves to almost form words. They decided to take it to Limin Anderal and see if they could have him decipher it to see what it means; Spectrum especially wanted this, believing that the journal could be the key to his past, what with it being addressed to him after all.

First Travelling to Eldham
It was after that initial finding of the journal that Spectrum sailed over to the continent of Eldham for a bit to support Lady Peach (due to her connections with Chusi) and her efforts in building up the Pirate State of Zaidan. He even managed to get a house set up for him there for whenever he would visit.

Afterwards, Spectrum returned to Rathnir, where things had taken a dark turn back home.

Serenity Negotiations
The war between Tortuga and Lorent took a turn for the worst, after Tortuga's loss of the first battle, when they surrendered to Lorent. This meant that, without their biggest and strongest ally, the Greatwhite Isles was vulnerable to invasion from Lorent; which was possible, as Lorent seemingly sought to take the mainland (which notably included the GWI-owned towns of Valfenhein and Serenity). In response to this, King Shark took some measures in order to better figure out how to deal with the situation; one of those decisions being to abolish Spectrum's police force due to a lack of their need.

Desperate to save his new home, Spectrum came up with a plan to keep Valfenhein and Serenity out of Lorentish control. That being to separate the cities from the mainland with new rivers and canals, making them their own islands. The logic was that since Lorent was seemingly only after the rest of the mainland, they wouldn't come after the islands.

With King Shark's permission, Spectrum presented this idea to Redlink of Serenity. However, Redlink believed that this plan could, without a compromise or other negotiations with Lorent, cause another war to take place on Greatwhite Isles soil. Redlink instead promised Spectrum that he would negotiate with some "trusted people" and try to keep their claims out of Lorentish rule.

Thankfully though, Shark would wind up having the Greatwhite Isles join a group of remaining independent Tortuga Captaincies called "the Black Flag Alliance," and eventually signed a Non Aggression Act between GWI and Lorent (after the player ColeTheKeeper was banned). Unfortunately for Spectrum though, with the Police Station having being abolished by King Shark, he was left without a job, and was quickly kicked out of the GWI government (and the palace, since only government members could live there). Naturally, Spectrum didn't know how to feel about this.

Learning the Truth
It was almost immediately after Spectrum was kicked out of the government that Limin had finally deciphered the journal he and Shark found in excavated ruins, and had given the deciphered text to Spectrum. It was there that he learned about his origins in the Leaffoot Lab, the Leaffoot Empire's discriminatory attitude towards races different than their own, and of the magical implants he was enhanced with in his brain. Needless to say, Spectrum felt conflicted. He had finally discovered the truth about himself and his race, but he never expected all of this would be that truth.

But now, Spectrum had a choice before him: would he bring about a new Leaffoot order in modern day and enslave the free peoples of Rathnir once again, or would he carve out his own destiny in a way opposite to that of his people's views of other races?
