Tabs it tall enough that his heads brush the top of most standard doorframes. He has three scale-covered lower legs, one at the front of his pelvis and two splaying out in the back, allowing him to stand up like a tripod. His two back feet have one toe claw and a short spur, whereas his front foot has two toe claws and a slightly longer spur. He has a heavy tail covered in smooth, wet skin with a bulb at the end. The end of his tail may open up into a set of jaws that eject a microphone “tongue” (which.. also has teeth). His waist is thin and he has a broad chest, typically covered in an orange formal suit and tie. Though he his partial to outlandish dresses. His arms are thick and have hairy sloth-like claws. His head is made up of four screens, which seem to be CRT computer monitors of unknown make and model. The tubing making up his neck is a state between animal flesh and synthetic polymer. Most typically, he will display four faces, one for each screen, but may display anything he chooses, not just his default face. His default face is simple, with two eyes, one eye having two “eyelash” marks, a simple triangle nose, and a large, fanged mouth. The mouth on his default face doesn’t open when he talks. the personality likes • Earth, cheese, writing, high fashion, humans, the color orange, electronica music, 80’s aesthetic, meditation, attention not being called to his appearance dislikes • blunt heavy objects pointed at his faces, magnets, competition, judgemental behavior, violence he didn’t instigate, low ratings strengths • History learned and able to pick up on parallels, knowledge of psychology, spoken and written words, semi-immortality (will live until killed by an outside force), thorough observer weaknesses • Clumsy, extremely prone to insults of his appearance, magnets disorient him, will believe whatever you say about human beauty standards, vain, not formally trained in fighting, trust issues, addictive personality, sudden drops in heath due to anxiety abilities: Tazerface -- His heads will separate and he will shoot purple beams of energy from his faces. These beams can cause severe burns and possibly temporary paralysis if hit with the full brunt of the attack. They also tend to brick most electronics that take a direct hit. These beams have a range of about 100 meters before rapidly losing strength. He may fire beams individually from each face, or all at the same time. These are dangerous to be hit with to most forms of life; organic, magical and/or robotic. This attack rapidly drains his energy and can even prompt a drop in his health. There are very clear warnings before this attack is about to be used: Tabs can only use this attack if he separates his heads, causing each head to move on its own, like a hydra. There’s a one minute wait time between blasts (per face). Possession of Electronics -- Tabs can enter any (non-sentient) electric device that has data on it, read the information stored on it and control the device. If the device is destroyed or heavily damaged, Tabs will be forced to assume his physical form and will be mildly burned. He’s limited by the physical constraints of the device (ex: he can’t make a laptop move as it has no means to on its own). Body Regeneration -- Like a starfish, Tabs may regenerate parts of his body below the neck. Depending on the size of the piece removed, regeneration can take between one and two months to completely finish. However, if much more than 30% of his bodymass is taken, he will be unable to regenerate on his own. As well, new parts will grow more corrupted each time they're regrown; at about it's fourth respawn, the part will be withered to the point of uselessness. His heads cannot repair/regrow themselves if smashed; they can be reattached by a professional if severed however. If all four heads were to be destroyed, his life force would dissolve within seconds if not given a new host, thus leading to death. Permanently. Stuff Spawning -- Tabs can spawn objects in his inventory that help him for his job-related duties, such as film set equipment, office supplies, and even articles of clothing. He may choose to spawn these objects into someone’s hand or, in the case of clothing, onto them. Tabs can only spawn things that would reasonably help him as a media personality. He can’t spawn medicine or weapons.

Tabs can float, lessening the effects of gravity around him. He usually does this if he’s feeling playful, or if he’s sore from standing. He can only hover a few meters above the ground. He’s incapable of proper flying. dreams • *Bowie voice* Faaame fears • Blunt objects, never fitting in, being touched suddenly overall personality • Tabs is, as far as anyone can tell, irredeemably smarmy, manipulative and vile. He is the corrupt media given form. The is a sensationalist and lives for reactions to his stories, positive or negative. Tabs has a long history of ravaging reputations and spreading rampant rumors – all without even the tiniest hint of mercy or regret. He will state he doesn't necessarily do what he does out of enjoyment, but because it's his "job". When the freakish reporter begins to run low on stories, he starts to get anxious. Mutterings about some supposedly greater cosmic being than he, “the Producer”, begin -- but here’s the thing, there’s no trace of this entity and most believe it only exists in Tabs’s head. His charisma is an act, the real Tabs is quite awkward but extremely inquisitive. Normally, he adamantly hates being touched. He may also suffer from body dysmorphia, supposedly believing himself to be far more hideous than he actually is. He believes human beings are the pinnacle of beauty and attempts to imitate and understand them. the history father • identity unknown, was raised communally mother • identity unknown, was raised communally siblings • Ari, sister, aristocrat important people • Static, daughter, loner (note: Tabs isn’t aware of her existence) overall history • The early parts of his life are mysterious. But Tabs will occasionally divulge details on his life if he's pressed. Tabs originated from a civilization far away from Earth. The identity of his parents are unknown, although this is typical as the young are raised by the community. His race are semi-immortal energy beings who cannot survive outside a vessel for long: typically they choose inanimate objects to serve as their head, then create a body around it. Tabs's race is highly advanced (well, they commission a lot of scientists anyway) and are basically alien aristocracy, owning many solar systems. He is aware of one direct family member, Ari, a creature similar in appearance to him, at least in the sense of having a CRT monitor for a head. Both Ari and Tabs have admitted they change bodies once every five-hundred years or so. This is apparently a normal practice. When Tabs was young, he apparently aspired to be an actor, a career highly prized among his race. At some point, Tabs met claims he met another entity he calls "the Producer". The Producer promised him fame and attention from millions. Tabs got his wish; for all eternity Tabs will entertain the masses with his stories. But it was a trap. If he can't keep up viewership... well, the mere thought is the root of many of his panic attacks. If a dry spell lasts long enough, Tabs will become physically sick. He literally needs attention to live. As a result of this encounter, his vessel was mutated and apparently his very lifeforce was somehow tainted, as all new vessels also are cursed to deform. There’s no actual evidence of the Producer and it affects no one but Tabs; but whatever happened, it changed him far more than just in appearance. And so he scours the universe for stories and attention. After all, attention is power. Soon, Tabs took to admire a life form that would eventually evolve into modern humans. Adoring the hominids, it wasn’t long before Tabs placed himself among them. Most alien races didn’t want to screw with the hominids, but Tabs had ties and deep pockets to bribe with. Early man looked up to the creature for his stories, seeing him as a god. He left mankind alone sometime before even the first cities were established, and eventually he became a long forgotten myth. Scarcely a single trace of his visit is left. In the modern day, he became a sensationalist and a media vulture among his fellow aliens; making his living out of misfortune and controversy -- a favorite victim being a particular mad scientist. Tabs learned how to get the most eyes on him: how to hold the attention of others: how to spin a good story: make us laugh: make us cry. He did this because he was afraid what would become of him if he didn't. But he would always have a place in his heart for Earth and the humans. Tabs fell in love with their civilization, so much that he is using CRT monitors for his heads in his current body. It is now that Tabs feels the need to interfere with mankind again and has made his return in a big way for the first time since pre-history. He tentatively touched down on the planet.
