✧ Character Info ✧
Name: Loop (real name technically unknown, gestures at wiki below for spoilers)
Canon: In Stars And Time
Canon Point: Act 4 (King Quest complete, all optional routes complete, Wish Craft discovered) but I'll probably update them later so wiggles hand, assume that their true canonpoint is the epilogue and it's some memloss shit
Age: they would also like to know this
Species: It's Complicated™ but if asked they would call themselves a Star

History: lots of open spoilers here yonder and also in the rest of the app you have been Spoiler Warned -> ISAT Wiki

Personality:
✽ What is your character's main motivation? What drives them and keeps them going? :) the inability to give up forced upon them by an unseen and uncaring god :) but also, Siffrin. Siffrin is literally the only thing keeping them together at this point.
✽ What is their biggest regret? Why? giving up on themselves. surprise, you escaped the timeloop by going into a worse timeloop!!! good job!!
✽ What is their worst fear? Their greatest comfort? being forgotten. being liked/wanted, but that's unreasonable soooo schadenfreude :)
✽ Top three strengths? (fake) positivity!! (also known as ☆lying☆) level-headedness (most of the time) and way more empathy than they'd ever admit to
✽ Top three weaknesses? THE fakest bitch on this side of the timeloop, terrified of forming real human connections, and a dangerously high concentration of self-loathing compacted into their tiny body
✽ What was their last lie? literally everything they say about themselves is a lie so probably some variation of that

Inventory: Nothing but a single silver coin.

Abilities:

Temporal Bullshit - timeloop powers!! if they die they can loop back to before that!! pain is temporary but mental anguish is eternal, yay!! Assuming some kind of cooldown so like, only a couple minutes of looping time and they can't do it twice in the same thread/scene for balance purposes. Canonically this also puts a huge strain on the individual so there is a limit to how much it can be done in a short stretch of time, even someone like Loop who is Made Entirely Of Time Craft can't cheat death infinitely.

Celestial Body - 🥁 haha get it, anyway yeah. I'm not gonna spend several paragraphs explaining all my dumb headcanons but look at this weirdo, do you think they know how their biology works?? They can be killed and probably bleed ???? something ???? but there is no mouth here so I guess they just. don't eat or drink. yay survival easy mode!!! For balance purposes they do need to breathe and heal at a normal human rate. Their head and starry-skin is always glowing brightly, which is probably useful but also sorry to potential roommates. Their body smells (and perhaps..... tastes???) like sugar (vampires should probably not eat that tho).

They are also uhhhh some sort of conduit for divine power, so sometimes they just Know Things (hello they are the tutorial) and sometimes The Universe forces them to act against their will. And on one hand, they've completed their role as of the epilogue and The Universe (probably??) has no influence in sticks, so that shouldn't happen anymore, but I KNOW how y'all love that divine possession bullshit SO. They're probably more susceptible to that now from other gods and shit, please use this knowledge for evil.

Craft - aka the magic system of ISAT, which is divided into three main types and performed using arcane hand gestures that form a triangle of strengths and weaknesses....... anyway, Loop is capable of all three craft types (uncommon, but they have lots of practice!) but their natural affinity is Scissors/Piercing craft. Their skill list is effectively the same as Siffrin's, so a mix of offensive skills, a speed buff and minor active/passive healing.

Telepathy - Loop can project their voice directly into Siffrin's mind, which is a fun power that Siffrin can't opt out of. Doesn't have any specific range limits but does seem to get weaker with distance/magical interference so wiggles hand, the Forest can probably fuck with it as needed.

They can also do two-way communication with anyone who knows how to use the secret fourth hand sign by holding it up to their ear and thinking about talking to Loop. I am forced to assume that Loop gets a psychic ringtone whenever someone does this. This has similar vague range limits as Siffrinpathy.

Physical Strength/Agility - craft and funny biology aside, they are much stronger than their physical appearance suggests, though their combat style leans more towards dexterity/precision than raw brute force. But also, yeah, they are probably at peak human-level strength. Can do some neat knife tricks!! High pain tolerance!!
