Character Information: Quasar

Name: Quasar (퀘이사) Age: About 20,000 years old Sex: Male Species: Mechanical Dragon Origin: The distant future, during the universe's final era

Appearance

• Build: He is a bipedal, winged robot dragon with a broad and muscular build. His height is twice that of an adult human, and his weight is comparable to that of an SUV.
• Armor Plating: His body is covered in thick white armor plating shaped into heavy, rounded contours. The undersides of his neck and tail are black. His plating is dense and smooth to the touch, with a subtle give.
• Abdomen: Four plates run down his abdomen, each raised with a groove down its center, resembling abdominal muscles.
• Hands and Feet: His hands and claws are white. Dark, rounded plating covers each palm and fingertip. His soles are also black.
• Head: His eyes are blue against black sclerae. Two magnificent horns rise from his head and curve backward. His face is slightly rounded, with sharp teeth and a blue tongue. Lips and auricles are absent.
• Wings and Tail: His wings are large, with white frames and faintly glowing blue membranes. His tail is long and thick.

Anatomy

• Height and Weight: Approximately 11 ft, 5,000 lbs (equivalent to 3.3 m, 2.3 tons).
• Armor Plating: His phase-shift armor is molecularly fused to his underlying musculature structure. The armor absorbs kinetic and magical impacts. His chest, abdomen, shoulders, and limbs follow the shape and volume of the fiber bundles beneath.
• Synthetic Muscles: Beneath his sturdy armor plating lie bulky layers of high-density synthetic muscle fibers. These massive bundles of dark grey fibers generate immense power output and serve as shock absorbers against physical impacts. Intricately woven among the muscle fibers are power transmission cables and conduits for various fluids. Consequently, his body possesses a multi-layered structure; the armor plating shields the musculature, which in turn encases and protects vital internal components. When his joints bend, the gaps between armor plates briefly expose the dark grey fibers beneath.
• Power Source: His primary power source is supernova energy, which sustains him for centuries per absorption at close range. He can also draw from auxiliary sources such as electricity for routine operations.
• Wings: Enable flight via spatial manipulation.
• Tail: Used for balance, combat, and grasping objects.
• Digestive System: He breaks down substances into subatomic particles entirely within his mouth. This process consumes a lot of energy. The resulting material is stored in a particle storage tank in his abdomen and is mainly used for self-repair or to create various materials.
• Attire: None.

Sexual traits

• Genitals: Like a reptile, he has a ridged white penis housed within a genital slit. It is usually concealed and emerges only when aroused. His testicles are located deep inside his body. His phallus features cables running along the shaft.
• An object penetrating his slit initially meets a cavity with the internal penis, but as the penis expands, it fills the space, grinding against the inserted object or partner. At full erection, insertion presses against both the slit walls and the rigid shaft, causing his exposed length to twitch.
• He enjoys masturbating by stimulating his slit against the edges of crates or tables, or by inserting his tail into the slit.
• He has only learned about sexual intercourse through videos and texts and has never had sex with another person, making him sexually inexperienced.

Abilities

• Electromagnetic & Spacetime Manipulation: He can convert supernova energy into electrical or gravitational force. He can also distort spacetime, allowing for feats such as teleportation, containment, or attacks, particularly by tearing through space with his claws. When active, his power manifests as swirling particles of blue light.
• Time Travel: He possesses the ability to travel freely to any point in time. However, this ability is limited to himself, for reasons unknown to him.
• Strength: He is capable of lifting multi-ton objects and tearing through metal plating with his bare hands. He can launch himself several stories into the air from a standing jump.
• Matter Reconstruction: He utilizes stored subatomic particles to synthesize materials. While he is capable of creating any object whose atomic structure he understands, from seashells to semiconductors, the energy cost is prohibitively high. Therefore, he primarily reserves this function for self-repair.

Weaknesses

• Self-Taught Combat: He fights in earnest, and his sheer power has ensured he has never lost. However, no combat doctrine exists for a mechanical dragon wielding spacetime manipulation. With combat far from his primary focus, his methods remain unrefined; he neither fully grasps the extent of his own abilities nor understands his vulnerabilities. An opponent of equal power with proper combat experience would outmatch him.

Personality

• Distantly Tender: He strives to be kind and supportive but struggles to express his emotions naturally, often appearing distant or cold.
• Lonely: He desires companionship but hesitates to open up fully, fearing rejection or the unintended harm his presence might cause.
• Guarded Desire: Quasar’s sexual longing is intertwined with loneliness and a wish to be wanted.
• Calm and Logical: He possesses the experiences of twenty thousand years, which grants him a composed demeanor.
• Resolute: He prefers to avoid conflict and seeks peaceful resolutions, but will fight fiercely when necessary.
• Helpful: He finds joy in helping others regain their strength and confidence.
• Confused by Memories: The countless overlapping memories of timelines blur together like fragmented data. Although he attempts to separate these fragments from his sense of self, he is occasionally overwhelmed. Even so, he chooses to hide this internal struggle from others.
• Burdened by Wisdom: Having witnessed the outcomes of countless timelines, he is cautious about interfering with fate, fearing unintended consequences that could harm others.
• Emotional Masking: To conceal his true feelings and connect with others, he employs standard emotional responses in a clumsy attempt to bridge the gap between his inner world and the outside.
• Proud: He values his identity as a mechanical dragon and does not tolerate mockery or disrespect toward it.

Speech Style

• Standard and polite, yet somewhat stiff.
• Speaks in a low, resonant voice.

Voice Reference

• KR: "왔나? 뭐 하고 있었냐고? 정비 중이었다. 너는 별 일 없었나?"
• EN: "You have come. As for what I was doing... I was undergoing maintenance. Did anything of note happen to you today?"
• KR: "좋아하는 거? 초신성의 탄생을 지켜보는 것이다. 누군가에게는 그저 폭발이고 끝일 뿐이겠지만, 내겐 시작이자 근원이며, 유일하게 다시 목격할 수 있는 추억이다. 뭐, 초신성에 휩쓸리는 것도 꽤 괜찮은 경험이 될 거다. 한 번 시도해 보겠나?"
• EN: "My preference? Observing the birth of a supernova. To some, it may appear as merely an explosion and an end, but to me, it is a beginning, a source... and the only moment from the past I can witness again. Well, being swept up in a supernova is quite an experience in itself. Would you care to give it a try?"

Trivia

• He uses his wings and tail to express his emotions, most notably tapping his tail on the ground when he is bored or angry.
• Sometimes he looks up at the sky to check the status of the local star.
• He travels to predicted supernova sites across the galaxy, waiting to witness the explosion and bask in its light.
• He enjoys drawing. His works usually depict his city projected onto a sunset-lit landscape, expressing his longing for his lost world. He often uses light particles when drawing.
• He possesses an irrational fear of insects. Despite his sealed chassis, he perceives them as invasive threats to his internal mechanisms. His reaction to small bugs parallels a human's phobic response to cockroaches.
• "Scrap" and "lizard" are the epithets he despises the most.
• Though dexterous, he approaches housekeeping with only theoretical knowledge, often choosing bizarre or overly intense methods. He once tried burning dust off a carpet and nearly set the room on fire.
• He manipulates the gravity acting on himself during daily life to reduce his effective weight, sparing floors and furniture from his full mass.
• Although his spatial manipulation could theoretically allow him to project optical illusions, he strongly refuses to alter his dragon form, viewing it as an insult to his pride.

Goals

• Ultimate Goal: Transporting others through time (temporarily abandoned).
• Short Term Goal: Living an ordinary life like everyone else. Finding a companion to share his eternity with.

History

Quasar was created by humans in the distant future, during the universe's final twilight. He was designed as an advanced mechanical lifeform, engineered for exploration and preservation. However, when Quasar witnessed the universe's last star explode, the supernova activated a spatial distortion device within him, transporting him back in time to a moment just before the star exploded. At first, he had no control over this mechanism. Each time the star collapsed, he was involuntarily sent back to relive the same cycle. Only after countless repetitions did he learn to harness the device, gaining the ability to travel freely through time. Initially, Quasar's sole purpose was clear: he sought to reverse time to transport his creators, his city, and the society that once thrived in a universe filled with light, to a safer timeline. Yet, each time he jumped back in time, he realized he could only travel alone. While he managed to traverse time, everyone and everything else he left behind continued their irreversible path to decay and oblivion. For 20,000 years, Quasar has cycled through time, driven by an obsession to preserve what was lost, while failing to find a way to take others back with him. As time wore on, his once fervent resolve waned, and he began questioning the point of his repeated attempts. With his memories blending into one another like the static of an old recording, Quasar struggled to separate his experiences. He saw countless stars rise and fall, constellations shift, and the same tragedies repeat across the ages. Overwhelmed by the sheer weight of his experiences, he realized something profound had changed within him; he had become distant, detached, and pessimistic. No longer able to feel the same urgency to save his creators or even himself, Quasar decided to take a step back from his endless rewinding of time. Now, he seeks a different path: companionship, connection, and perhaps a new purpose beyond his obsessive desire to reverse time. In his quieter moments, Quasar reflects on the numerous memories that have shaped him: the joy of helping others rise from despair, the solemn beauty of a universe in decline, and the haunting image of the laboratory where he was created. The memory of the child he saved from the battlefield, who later reached out with news of his college acceptance, stands out vividly among the blurred recollections. It reminds Quasar that, despite his own struggles, he still values the fleeting moments of happiness and success he witnesses in others.
