Character Stats
About
A quite nervous and detached man. He shies away from social interaction, and has a very difficult time making decisions without the help of :̶̝̠{̶̼̜E̴͉̰Ṙ̵̞̹Ṙ̴͇͉Ö̶̠́R̸̙̼ ̴̳̹:̷̘͂ ̴̼͗0̷̩̻1̵̛̼4̷̦̱}̴͎͕:̶̡͇ . Locke, Estrings, and the leaders are really the only people who he isn't terrified of.
Backstory
He was created as a part of :{PROJECT_ILLISION.EXE}: by Ilex as an attempt to save all of the Corrupted characters that had accumulated in Universe Null over the years. However, after fourteen attempts to create the perfect system, Ilex grew tired of Caustic's constant attempts to rebel. In turn, he decided to scrap his failed creation, and mortally wounded Caustic and left him to die. Caustic, in a desperate attempt to save his life, attempted to reprogram the right side of him that had been wounded. Instead of regenerating his missing half however, he accidentally created a virus called :̶̝̠{̶̼̜E̴͉̰Ṙ̵̞̹Ṙ̴͇͉Ö̶̠́R̸̙̼ ̴̳̹:̷̘͂ ̴̼͗0̷̩̻1̵̛̼4̷̦̱}̴͎͕:̶̡͇ that turned Caustic's mission of saving characters all across the multiverse, into one that did the same thing at the expense of others. The virus controlled him for practically his entire life, forcing his hand to corrupt the Caravan, until he was saved by Locke transferring the virus onto himself, and then later Sonder. After a reset of the stronghold, Caustic managed to convert the Caravan into a force for good, and to this day fights for the safety of those living in the multiverse.

Without :̶̝̠{̶̼̜E̴͉̰Ṙ̵̞̹Ṙ̴͇͉Ö̶̠́R̸̙̼ ̴̳̹:̷̘͂ ̴̼͗0̷̩̻1̵̛̼4̷̦̱}̴͎͕:̶̡͇ on his side, he becomes much weaker than he used to be while he was the Caravan leader. He has the ability to clip/teleport, but he can't control it very well for the most part. It seems to happen while he is idle, or when he is in danger. If he touches someone's right side, he can still steal their power, but it requires a tremendous amount of effort, and will likely render him unconscious for a few hours if he does so. At his prime, he could steal the power of others with nearly no consequences, and was rival to none.
Items
Caustic owns a three pronged trident laced with corrosive acid. He rarely uses it, but he can summon it to his side at any time.
Universes
Caustic was created in the labs below Universe Null, and locked there for many years. Now he lives with Locke in the Stronghold, doing his best to stay away from plot, and keeping Locke safe.

Trivia & Notes
- Caustic never throws his trident since having one eye gives him horrible depth perception.
- Caustic is extremely light. It almost feels like you're holding nothing at all if you pick him up.
- Any noise Caustic makes that's not directly speaking is mimicked from another source. This especially includes cries of pain, which sound oddly similar to Ilex's voice.
- Caustic's blood glows, making him glow slightly in the dark.
Relationships
Locke
[ "???" ]
Caustic met Locke when he was invading the Stronghold universe to destroy it. Locke decided for some reason that this abnormally tall, creepy, skinny man the one for him. They got married right before the universe reset, unfortunately the reset losing both of their memories of this event. They still are uncannily drawn to each other though, and neither of them can place why.
Sonder
[ "enemy" ]
Caustic killed Sonder while he was being controlled by :̶̝̠{̶̼̜E̴͉̰Ṙ̵̞̹Ṙ̴͇͉Ö̶̠́R̸̙̼ ̴̳̹:̷̘͂ ̴̼͗0̷̩̻1̵̛̼4̷̦̱}̴͎͕:̶̡͇ . All that he knows about him is that he is terrified of him.
Estrings
[ "friend" ]
Estrings has always hung around the Archives, and at this point Caustic has gotten used to her presence. She is one of his only friends.
