FAMILIAR

FAMILIAR is a character played by Star.

Appearance
FAMILIAR is a mysterious figure who almost resembles a corpse, with pale skin and mismatched eyes (one light gray with dark gray sclera, one red with black sclera). Their left arm and right leg resembles that of an elk's limbs. Both a fiery void and icy material emits from them. Their overall look is extremely messy, looking like a corrupted, mismatched image. They wear a multi-colored amulet and a mismatched scarf.

They are always seen alongside ETERNITY and sometimes SAPRONOSIS, holding a netherite sword in their left hand.

Bio
A mysterious entity that appears alongside ETERNITY to speak ominous observations/riddles/prophecies. They are a wild mismatch of various versions of the Scrungecraft Star. How they ended up this way is unknown, but the result is that every variant that was mashed into FAMILIAR acts as both independent and a combined body. They seem to be able to replicate other's speech, with two instances of them repeating lines said by Nebula.

Despite the combined state, each variant carries its own consciousness. FAMILIAR has on occasion acted as a single voice, with just one iteration of it in control. One of the iterations, FAMILIAR_THETA, utilized this to have Aster split it from FAMILIAR by becoming a Lily of the Valley.

Personality
Scary. Perfectly in sync with ETERNITY. Often comes off as aggressive, ominous, and threatening.

Tends to speak in dualities: for example, "Can't you see/observe? Couldn't you always/never? Upsetting/Rewarding." Their messages are often negating each other, making it difficult to gleam the actual meaning behind it. Some of their messages are entire insults, while others reference meta aspects both in and out of game. Some of these meta messages include referencing the Team Fortress Wiki's MvM pages and noting player deaths it did not directly witness.

Theta
Theta is a now-broken off iteration of FAMILIAR that lead Aster away from ETERNITY and SAPRONOSIS during one of their hauntings. Bringing Aster to a Lily of the Valley, Theta instructed Aster to take it and listen closely afterwards. Despite ETERNITY attempting to coax Aster back to them, Aster ended up escaping shortly after taking the flower.

Theta appears to be now contained within the lily of the valley, as indicated by the flower itself speaking to Aster, claiming to be Theta. Who Theta was before being combined into FAMILIAR, or how they put together their escape, is unknown.

Trivia

 * FAMILIAR's speaking style was inspired by The Board from CONTROL, which also speaks often in dualities that give different meanings or tones within its speech.
 * FAMILIAR, ETERNITY, and SAPRONOSIS all use the same sword, Memory Amnesiacs. FAMILIAR holds theirs in their left hand, mirroring ETERNITY.
 * FAMILIAR is one of two characters created by Startacker that appear in both Scrungecraft, the Scrungecraft Community Server, and Sockscraft 2. The other being Comet.
