SUBJECT 9

SUBJECT 9 is a character played by snoruntpyro.

Appearance
A humanoid covered head to toe in sculk, completely obscuring any features underneath (if it even has any). It has hair parted to the side and bright teal eyes, and wears heavily tattered, dark blue clothes. When hunting, it carries a large scythe with a pink blade that thrums with energy.

9 does not have a mouth, though it is somehow still able to speak. How it does so is unknown.

Bio
Completely consumed by the sculk, 9 was one of the research subjects Cato kept contained in his secret lab while searching for a cure. 9's origins are completely unknown; she doesn't remember where she came from, or her real name... if she even had one to begin with. It's not certain whether there is a human underneath, or if 9 is no longer anything but sculk.

While 9 initially appeared to be relatively docile and under Cato's control, the arrangement was fragile at best— in reality, Cato feared 9, knowing he would not be able to stop her if she ever stopped listening, and it wasn't long til 9 realized that herself. The situation quickly devolved, leading to Cato's death/body transfer.

9's current whereabouts are unknown, as she presumably lurks in the dark, hunting and biding her time after the Warden Vanguard fell to the players.

Like other heavily sculked beings, 9 is blind, and relies on sound to track her prey.

Personality
A being fueled by hunger, pain, and resentment, 9 desires only one thing: to kill others in order to further spread the sculk. The exceptions are fellow sculked beings and those without souls, which it tends to leave alone; however, it regards sculk carriers who try to stop the spread, like Cato and Buttercup, as traitors and will target them accordingly.

Having been controlled and told what to do by Cato for as long as it remembers, it relishes in turning the tables on him, and anyone else that would get in its way.

Trivia

 * While in development, 9's original name was "Sensor".
