Hyness
Lord Hyness (a.k.a. Hyn)
Hailing from the hidden recesses of space, Lord Hyness (as he now calls himself) is a powerful descendant of the Halcandran Ancients. Known as an impressive sorcerer at the height of their rule, his strength has grown beyond the bounds of most known power scales for anything mortal in this realm. His strength is not known for its usefulness, however, as few know of his existence and those who do rarely live long; his escapades frequently involve targeting others as sacrifices to his current objects of worship. His reign of terror began aeons ago, unfortunately, as he was exiled from the Ancients toward the end of their power for his descent toward dark magic.
Prior to, during and after his encounter with Kirby after his failed attempt to bring Termina to power, Hyness created and remains high priest of the Cult of Dark Matter. He currently maintains this position in name only, however, as he's been captured and jailed by the Lor Starcutter and NOVA #4 for his crimes.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Hyness, upon close inspection, is clearly older than his activity level suggests he should be capable of. Though he lacks bones to audibly creak, he can be observed struggling to move without making soft sounds of complaint, and his general skin appearance seems thin and sickly.
Body Features
Hyness has a non-standard body design for Halcandrans, Ancients included; in his escapades as high priest of the dark matter cult, he once attempted to change the basic element of his body. As all mortal creatures in this domain are beings of light even when unable to use magic at all, transforming one's self into a dark being is unnatural, and thus warped Hyness's body in the attempt. He wasn't even entirely successful; in his current state, he remains both a mixture of light and dark material. His body shape was dramatically changed even with this imperfect shift, and he now appears reminiscent of a fruit bat with chameleon-like eyes. Hyness hides his body whenever possible in the loose-fitting robes he's crafted.
Facial Features
When occasionally visible, Hyness's face appears long and narrow like that of a bat. Where a bat's open ears would be, however, he has two cone-like ears that a Halcandran would. His eyes are covered skin all except for the areas around his pupils. His eyes can move independently of each other.
Apparel & Accessories
Long, white robes with gold trim embroidered with Ancient scripts. Hyness is loathe to remove them and his matching hood at any time.
Mental characteristics
Education
Hyness was educated well by pre-craft creation educational systems in Ancient society. It is likely that he was a quick study of magic, as his current skill is surpassed only by the speed at which he learns new techniques.
Employment
In early adulthood he became a teacher to others, as well as a programmer for the early drafts of the crafts' operating systems. His prestige and appreciation by numerous students at the time was the reason he was chosen to use the Ancients' first ever creation to forge the undying core of the first NOVA unit. This tool was the Master Crown itself.
Failures & Embarrassments
The first and most crushing of Hyness's failures in his opinion was his exile from Ancient society; his intention in researching dark magic had not initially been malicious. His work with the Master Crown, which he was originally unaware had developed a consciousness and fed him warped information, had caused him to (correctly) prophesize the future warping of a NOVA unit into what is now known as Star Dream. As he came to understand that light magic was not inherently morally good, he began to experiment and consider a way to prevent Star Dream's eventual creation. It was his misfortune that the Ancients failed (or, in his opinion, refused) to understand his work; in their minds, they therefore had no choice but to expel one of the greatest minds they'd ever known.
Little needs to be said regarding Hyness's feelings about his failure to bring forth Termina's success.
Mental Trauma
Hyness suffers from severe mental illness on top of his stressors, and the effects of the curse that dark matter has on light-based mortals. These cause him to struggle with remembering to take care of himself on several occasions, cause him varying levels of difficulty communicating with others, and sometimes make moving at all difficult. These symptoms have become more pronounced after his recent fall at the hands of Kirby, as he is disappointed, tired and injured.
Relationships
History
When exactly Hyness located and began worshiping the Dark Matter collective isn't entirely known, as 02 has not been awake for all that long, but it could easily be said that Hyness has always been a pest whenever encountered.
Current Location
Species
Circumstances of Birth
Hyness, or Hyn as he was once called, was originally born early in the creation process of the Galactic NOVA units during the reign of the Ancients. This places him hundreds of lifetimes older than the average Halcandran.
Spouses
Siblings
Children
Gender
Like all Halcandrans, intersex (or, rather, unimorphic)
Eyes
Much like a chameleon's eyes, with yellow stripes in circles around his pupils. These circles alternate in color with his blue skintone.
Hair
No visible hair, though he might have a layer of peach fuzz in places if touched.
Skin Tone/Pigmentation
Blue
