Other
Caelestis' voice sounds distant and close as if it's coming from multiple places at once. It also sounds like multiple people of various genders and ages speaking the same thing at slightly different times. The voices match Caelestis' body, so child form sounds like children, adult form sounds like adults.

Sleeper Vision: Appears as a young, androgynous black person standing at 6'3". They have very dark brown skin, and a fit body with an hour glass figure stemming from their broad shoulders and wide hips. They have black, downturned eyes with long eyelashes. Their long, puffy hair is held back with a scarf. They're usually seen wearing baggy dark or light academia clothing with sunglasses. Looks like an identical triplet of Myst's and Jao's Sleeper forms.

When feeling childish or panicked, they sometimes revert to a smaller, child form. When aggressive, an animal form.
Sleepers will perceive them as a child or the closest animal they resemble in those instances.

Personality

Emotional: Caelestis is a creature playing human. Its idea of humanity is based on information its stolen from the humans, animals, and objects it has absorbed. It's capable of doing short basic interactions before its natural state starts showing through. Its instincts typically show in sudden bursts of emotions not appropriate for the situation, such as randomly bursting into tears or growling in anger. If under-stimulated, it might intentionally cause trouble just to do something.

Shy: Caelestis' just can't quite get the hang of people. It enjoys watching them and studying their behavior, but being one feels downright impossible. When suddenly faced with conversation, it either goes with the first thing on its mind or take too long to formulate an answer. Though direct conversation tends to be a failure, it has an easier time when there's a "buffer," such as drawing or writing responses. Either way, talking to it has a good chance of leading to awkwardness.

Naivé: Caelestis was made to follow directions and be used, something it has never been able to move past. It defaults to looking for an authority figure to follow, and when it finds one, or multiple, its quick to trust. This lack of common sense mainly stems from the only logic Caelestis knows: dream logic. That is to say, it goes by incredibly inconsistent rules that only makes sense from its perspective. No matter how nonsensical the thing asked, if it can be explained with some kind of logic, Caelestis will take it as truth.

History

Date of Birth
Unknown; Many years mentally due to its world having non-linear time
Place of Birth
Its Imagination????; A Small Facility in America
There was never an exact time where Caelestis came into being. It transitioned from being little more than an idea to having as much sentience as an animal. A final push was needed for it to become sapient. To become real.

That push came from a group of awakened supernatural scouters noticing an abandoned building with snow inside. As the snow built up, a forest grew and wildlife appeared, growing bigger the deeper they went. that has snow inside and led into a forest with trees and wildlife that became bigger the further they entered. Upon taking some samples from the forest and exiting, it disappeared, the only evidence of its existence being the samples. Upon returning to their headquarters, during a study of the samples in hopes of using it into a device, Caelestis' was pulled from the in between of unreal and real and fully into real. For the most part. Its mind still wasn't all there.

It was practically a baby with the ability to attack when frightened and hunt when hungry. Overwhelmed by the constant barrage of sensations and emotions, it made a haphazard attempt at escape while eating anything along the way. It almost worked, but the shock of being real and recently fed left it exhausted. Right at the exit, it fell asleep. Its sleep lasted almost a month, in which it was trapped in a box and monitored.

When it awoke, there was a lot of struggling, growling, and tears. It took a while for reason to make it accept the part of an obedient test subject. An aggravating task that required it to switch up their personality regular. The only upside was figuring out the information it received about the facility when researched.

All of this culminated into the last time it was let out of its room. From there, it was easy to squish its body down and leave through the ventilation system and any other places hard to shove a human in.

This was possibly the best case scenario for Caelestis. A secret place where it was allowed to eat and train its abilities, then leave. And the loneliness? That was only a problem for a short time. It was easier to dream about completely separate people instead of a persona they were acting the part of.

The rest of its life wasn't as exciting. It kept to abandoned areas for sleep, then went out hunting for people, animals, and objects to eat. One animal in particular was interesting. It was a deer with wings, and within that deer was the knowledge of Polaris Pass. Intrigued, Caelestis set their sights on the town. Amazed by what it had found, they hid in the woods. Sometimes in houses if it wanted to grab a quick snack. Enough exploration brought them to a dilapidated cottage with nothing inside. From there on out, that was its home.

Its money came from it planning stories in its head, writing them at public libraries, and publishing them. Donations from fans allowed it to slowly furnish their home and publish digital books. Caelestis' online persona is well-known in book spaces for its surrealism fiction and poetry, as well as the unconventional writing techniques to better express those stories.
