Star (Replica)

''"Star" redirects here. For other characters known as Star, see Star (disambiguation).''

Star, sometimes referred to as Replica Star or Radiant Star to differentiate them from the other Star, is a character played by Startacker.

Appearance
Star is a Replica with pale skin, dark hair and eyes, and antlers similar to Stun's. They wear a simple outfit of a deep red shirt, gray pants, and a light gray jacket. Their Radiance gives some areas of their body, such as their antlers and sclerae, a faint golden tint.

As a result of their severing, Star does not have a tracking device on their right leg— instead, they have a large wound on the ankle from shooting it off, currently wrapped with bandages.

After meeting the other Star, she wears the flower they gave her in her hair. The flower itself has white petals, and purple in its center. She has an alternate outfit as well, which was gifted to her by Magazine. This outfit consists of a red jacket with patterned sleeves, a gray shirt with a faint golden emblem, black arm warmers, and a Vanilla cape.

Bio
An unfinished prototype Replica severed from Dead Hand for her own safety. Created to replicate the original Star for unknown reasons, with logs of their personality and memories sometimes overriding her own. Every now and then, or depending on circumstances, Star emits HTTP response codes that vaguely fit within the current context she is in. While most of these are actual response codes, some of them (notably the 600 and 700 response codes) are uniquely written by Dead Hand.

The mistakes in her production had her destined to be recycled after activation, but a member of Dead Hand known only as 600 intervened, severing her tracking device and guiding her to the world of SocksCraft. Afterwards, suffering from injuries and half-finished construction, she broke down and was found by Exquisite Corpse, then delivered to and repaired by Stun.

As a Radiant Soul whose core was not properly calibrated, she is sensitive to Void energy; being too close to large amounts of it, such as the Hourglass, kills her soul. She had to move from Stun's tower in Ancient City as a result, putting as much distance between her and the Hourglass as possible.

Personality
Newly created and not yet sure of her place in the world, Star's personality is similarly yet to fully form. She is similar to the original Star, even when their personality log is not loaded; but being much younger, she is notably quieter and more sensitive, with moments of uncertainty and wonder.

Due to her stardust core's unfinished state, she has a strong love for the stars in the night sky, feeling as though they are her siblings. She often gazes up at them through telescopes, and notes with disappointment when the weather is too cloudy.

Personality Logs
Being built to replicate others, Star has a number of personality logs installed within her Unit. She doesn't have control over when these logs are activated, instead activating upon external situations. Only a few have been revealed, with many more being hinted at existing. While Star has little control on when a personality log activates, she has shown to have some control over dismissing it or fighting back for control.

Voided Star
Developed to replicate the original Scrungecraft Star. Seemingly activates when speaking to another Scrungecraft member. This log seemingly has the memories of the original Star as well. In its only appearance, it immediately began to have a conversation with Matto424, but was broken once the original Star appeared.

Perfect
A malignant personality log that was the intended primary personality for Star. Extremely aggressive and brash, it showed a great amount of annoyance towards Star for itself being relegated to a personality log. It appeared to activate while in high-pressure situations, such as an incident where Nebula was interrogating her. It was notably fixated on getting the "defect" body it resided in scrapped and obtaining a new one, so it could regain its rightful place as the primary personality.

After Perfect instigated a boss fight in an attempt to get Star killed, Stun ripped the chip containing her data out of Star's body and burned it, killing her.

Penelope
A personality log that was once its own Replica. Seemingly older than Star, she didn't have much time within her own Unit before being shut off and relegated as a log. Appears to activate upon Star staring into a corner for some time. She has immediately appeared more polite than the first two revealed personality logs. While speaking to Thistle, she routed Star to the emergency speaker on the Unit, allowing both of them to speak at the same time.

Startypes
A full list of Startypes can be found at Startypes. A collection of 20 logs with extremely varying personalities. They all have an associated gimmick with them, being represented with a "SOUL OF" title. Notably, this does not include Startracker.

Relationships

 * 600: The unknown member of Dead Hand who guided Star away from Dead Hand. While Star did not get to truly meet them, and will likely never hear from them again, 600 has shown great care for Star's well-being and changed the course of her life immensely.
 * Exquisite Corpse: While the two have not properly met, Exquisite Corpse was the first one to find Star's body, realize she was a Replica, and deliver it to Stun, which was instrumental for her learning the truth of what she is.
 * The Source: Because Star contains many of the original Star's memories dormant within her, she has an instinctual, burning hatred for the Source, hunting and killing them in her very first appearance. As a result, she is one of the few people the Source actually fears.
 * Star (Original): The person Star was created to replicate, containing some of her personality and memories within her. While their first meeting was initially hostile, the two reached an understanding, and the original Star now keeps in touch and serves as something of a mentor to Replica Star.
 * Stun, Fallout, and Magazine: Fellow Replicas who took Star in, helping her get her bearings and taking care of her repairs as much as they can. They serve as a found family for Star, guiding and caring for her like older sisters.
