#218: The Being

     Okay, time for our second Characterfest post: the Being. The JC-Verse's Earth is quite well acquainted with fantastical lifeforms of all kinds, but one in particular has left them scratching their heads: the Being. For over 50 years, this shadowy creature has slipped through the backround of many photos, inspiring a plethora of conspiracy theories and a multitude of backwoods hoaxes; and through all this, they've never truly figured out his real deal. But get your tin hats ready, folks, because ol' Jakey McBloggerpants has the answer. In 1947, a group of diplomats from the planet Ieoudinoin boarded a ship to the faraway planet of Earth, planning to make peace with the strange place's inhabitants. The U.S. government, however, had a different idea. Once the ship arrived, the group inside was apprehended and brought to be dissected and studied. But one escaped. And when he did, he discovered that something had stowed away with them on their mission. Zhollowers. Nasty things. Predatorial creatures from Ieoudinoin with the ability to alter their matter and turn into practially any object there is. He could've taken off and let them devour the creatures that had captured his own people. But he knew that he came here to do good, and he still had that chance. This diplomat is the Being, and to this day he has been fighting to keep the vicious Zhollowers at bay for the safety of all creatures on this planet. Yeah, I think you guys deserve some mindless punny-ness after this one.

(LEFT TO RIGHT: the type of vortex that he and his species use for small scale transportation, the Being himself, the Thermal Detection Gun he uses to detect Zhollowers in disguise-mode, and a Zhollower in its natural, nightmare-fueling form.)
