𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕡𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟: Fueled by the ingested Kryptid Core, Faust possesses complete command over biomass, cellular replication, bone structure, and organic density. He can alter his own cellular makeup to shift between a number of forms, including a domestic feline and a monstrous Kaijin state, optimize his muscle fibers for explosive physical buffs, or project his mutated Krypt into allies to stimulate rapid cell growth, enhance physical stats, or stitch together mortal wounds.
ℙ𝕠𝕨𝕖𝕣 ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕗𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟: A-Rank (High operational versatility, perfect stealth infiltration, bypasses standard threat radars, and functions as an unkillable frontline brawler or high-value combat support.)
ℙ𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 #𝟙: Organ Displacement & Evasion- Faust's iconic defensive reflex. Because his inner cellular structure is entirely fluid, he can instantaneously shift vital organs (heart, lungs, brain matter, vascular pathways) to alternate positions in his body right as a strike connects. A decapitation strike or heart puncture simply passes through non-vital tissue, rendering lethal physical strikes completely ineffective.
ℙ𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 #𝟚: Cellular Overclock (Self & Ally Buffing)- Faust can force his own or an ally's cells into a temporary hyper-dense state via contact.• Self Buff: Spikes muscle density, granting bursts of Tier 5 Strength/Durability.• Ally Buff: Injects pure cellular energy into an ally, granting them a +1 Tier boost to Speed/Strength or triggering accelerated healing for up to 3 turns.
ℙ𝕒𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔸𝕓𝕚𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕪 #𝟛: Absolute Mascot Suppression- In his domestic form, Faust compresses his cellular energy inward, erasing his Krypt signature so completely that he registers as an ordinary, non-supernatural street cat on all scanner wards.
𝔽𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕊𝕥𝕪𝕝𝕖: Adaptable Support & Biomass Counter-Brawling. Faust uses his small size and organ displacement to absorb or slip past enemy attacks unharmed. Once inside an opponent's blind spot, he either shifts into his heavy Kaijin form for a devastating point-blank strike or tags an ally with a Cellular Overclock buff to overwhelm the target from multiple angles.

Ultimate Krypt Art: Biomass Restructuring Array
Description: Faust floods a 20-meter radius with an aura of raw, bio-active Krypt. Within this territory, Faust gains total control over organic tissue: he can instantly repair critical organ failure in allies, restore lost limbs in seconds, or force enemy target tissues to violently calcify and cramp, crippling their mobility and physical output.

Before anyone called him Faust, he was a clever stray living around Mystvale’s District 4 alleys. He learned which kitchens put out scraps, which security guards shared food, and which streets went quiet before a containment operation. He wasn’t a lab animal or a secret experiment; “Subject 9-C” was the tracking designation Noktis gave him after the incident, when they couldn’t agree what else to call him.
During a battle with a rogue Category III Kryptid, a damaged Core was thrown into the alley. Faust swallowed it because, to a hungry cat, it looked like food. The Core began assimilating him. His body convulsed, his senses flooded with Krypt signatures, and his mind expanded rapidly—but rather than becoming a humanlike creature, he remained recognizably himself: a cat with memories, habits, and a fierce instinct to survive.
Noktis found him during the aftermath. They tried to contain him, partly because they feared what the Core might do and partly because they wanted to study an unprecedented Core-host. Faust escaped their first attempts, learned to suppress his signature, and began watching the operatives who kept returning to the alleys. He discovered that they weren’t all cruel: some were frightened, some were reckless, and some were trying to keep civilians safe. He started trading what he knew about Kryptid activity for food and information—not because he trusted Noktis, he insists, but because “one should know what the humans are doing before they do it.”
The name Faust came later, after he began speaking telepathically. He chose it himself, partly because he liked how it sounded and partly because he refuses to answer to a specimen number. His first real act of loyalty could be small rather than noble: warning a student about a dangerous training exercise, then claiming he only did it because the student was about to spill premium tuna.
