Kratt

Detailed Appearance Head/Face: A flattened, twitchy flea head with massive, glassy black eyes that constantly roll around to scan his surroundings. He has sharp, piercing mouthparts protruding from his mask like a rusted copper needle, which he uses to sip cheap nectar or pass along gossip. He wears a greasy, backwards-facing 90s neon trucker cap to hide his bristling crown hairs.

Body & Clothing: Instead of tactical gear or sleek jumpsuits, Kratt wears regular, unwashed 90s street clothes. He sports a stained, oversized tie-dye shirt that hangs loosely off his compressed torso, paired with threadbare, saggy denim jeans held up by a piece of wire-wrap. His exoskeleton is a translucent, sickly amber color, covered in stiff, backward-pointing bristles that rustle whenever he shivers.

Limbs & Movement: He has incredibly long, folded hind legs that act like coiled steel springs. He can't walk normally; he constantly twitches, shifts from foot to foot, or undergoes sudden, erratic micro-jumps that leave him clinging sideways to walls, pipes, or the ceilings of low doorways.

Detailed Personality The Sleazebag: Kratt is driven entirely by base impulses, cheap Geo-tokens, and a deeply intrusive curiosity. He has zero boundaries, frequently getting way too close to other bugs' personal space to whisper rumors or make inappropriate, borderline-deviant remarks about their carapace luster.

The Parasitic Informant: He doesn't chase storms or fight in revolutions; he survives by being a professional leach. He listens to the radio frequencies he steals from Bellhome and sells the data to the highest bidder—whether that's the Supreme Council or a pirate crew.

Cowardly Spark: The second a weapon is drawn or a Silk-Cyclone gets within five miles, Kratt's tough-guy persona vanishes. He will completely ditch his allies, using his powerful legs to launch himself entirely out of harm's way, leaving everyone else to handle the mess.

Speech Pattern Rapid-Fire & Wheezing: He talks at a mile-a-minute pace, his voice cracking and wheezing like a distorted analog cassette tape being fast-forwarded. He litters his speech with dirty 90s street slang, frequently calling bugs "slick," "chitin-pot," or "greaser."

The Nervous Snicker: He bookends almost every sentence with a slimy, high-pitched chuckle. "Heh-heh... see, the thing about Lace is, she’s all high-res on the outside, but I bet her source code is real dirty, heh-heh..."
