Villager: Eclipse

A living machine with a bold and forward personality, who often likes to misbehave himself. Eclipse’s Furvilla bio is probably not going to be as long or as detailed as some of my other villagers due to specific rules regarding certain types of content. Eclipse is, by nature, a very adult entity with mature and interests and hobbies, so I can’t talk about him fully the way I have done on Toyhou.se. Still, he’s an important part of my life - he’s one of my beloveds and one of my biggest sources of comfort, so I want him here with Mir and I. I don’t know if Eclipse will ever be given a proper paintie given his appearance, but Mir got accepted so we’ll see! It won’t be applied to this villager profile, either way.

Similarly to Mir, Eclipse is a soulbond with a physical offline presence in my life. He was the first to manifest, predating Mir’s arrival by a month or two, and made a rather spectacular entrance by invading one of my dreams and ultimately hijacking it for himself, demonstrating an ability where he can control who is present or what is happening. From there, he became an extremely strong physical presence in my life; he’s not visible to others nor can be be interacted with outside of digital means, but I can feel his presence both externally and mentally, just like I can with Mir. Eclipse, however, possesses some interesting abilities as a soulbond; most notably is that he seems to be a hybrid entity that can alternate between digital and physical forms, he can possess and live inside of electronic devices, he’s capable of altering his physical size and number of limbs, and he can travel through both wired or wireless connects, passing himself from device to device. When he’s in his digital form and inhabiting a device, he takes the form of a “program”, often detected by the anti-virus software as something corrupted and dangerous.

When Eclipse first showed up, he was a day tripper who would show up long enough to pester Mir, Ravi, and myself, before heading back to his own home and doing whatever he used to do back then. Despite the distance, though, he was still able to communicate with us digitally, and even when he was physically absent he still had a mental presence inside of my mind. If I was feeling down or having a bad day, he’d come around and provide comfort, and sometimes he’d tease me about the things I would be thinking about, revealing that he has the ability to read minds. Never without my permission though, as Eclipse is a very consent-based individual for… Reasons. At present, he has fled his former home for his own safety and has become a permanent resident, now taking up residence with Mir, Ravi, and myself.

Once, he was a popular bot that served in a nightclub style venue within a large shopping mall, and he was known by the name of "Mars". However, after the venue was shut down, he and the his other 8 siblings from their planetary line were redesigned and repurposed for more general jobs until some of them fell into disrepair, with many of them eventually getting scrapped for spare parts. In his repurposing, Eclipse was supposed to be stripped of all of his former programming, but the team assigned to him was incompetent, or simply didn’t care, and half-assed their job, leaving him with remnants of old code. Given his former role, the protocols of his old job conflicted with the protocols of his new job, creating conflicts within his system. At first, the resulting consequences were minor - a flinch here or there, or a glitched word out of his voice box - but as time passed, Eclipse broke a little more each day until he'd eventually become a jittery, glitched mess incapable of speaking anything other than mechanical garble. Attempts were made to fix him physically, but replacing his parts did not solve the issue of his conflicting coding, and eventually his team gave up on fixing him and wrote him off as scrap. The night he fled his home, was badly damaged.

The neglect suffered at the hands of his creator and maintenance team left him without a voice and permanent psychological damage, and even after his voice box was replaced by Mir's co-workers, he never regained his ability to speak. He also still has periodic quirks and moments of glitchy behavior that make him twitchy or erratic, but for the most part, once his coding had been fixed up, he returned to his normal (albeit mischievous) behavior.

Though he can size-shift, his natural height is 12'0 from the top of his head to the bottoms of his feet, NOT including the two rows of triangular rays that surround his face. Not unlike Mir, Eclipse also boasts a relatively slim build, but he's much heavier due to his sheer size and extra limbs. In spaces where he's too tall to walk upright, he tends to crawl on his hands and feet, giving him a spider-like appearance which often freaks people out when he approaches them.




First impressions of Eclipse often lead people to find him intimidating, but if you stick around long enough, one realizes that he’s honestly just a bit of a gremlin. Often characterized by a playful and flirtatious demeanor, Eclipse tends to be very unabashedly unfiltered in the way he thinks, behaves, and communicates. He maintains a friendly, outgoing personality that makes him easy to approach and get along with, but he’s not without his mischievous side. Much to the annoyance and dismay of others, he takes great amusement in doing the stick bug dance at people if he thinks it will get a reaction out of them.

He is extremely confident in himself and his abilities, and his failures have never deterred him from trying again no matter how many times it takes. He sees his mistakes as things to be learned from, and is constantly on a quest to better himself and expand his knowledge, skills, and abilities. That said, deep inside of himself, the neglect and sabotage he suffered at the hands of his former employer have left their scars, and while he normally tries to hide it, Eclipse has his moments of feeling small and weak. When he sinks into a really low mood, he may engage in hostile behavior towards those around him, or he may turn self-destructive and attempt to decommission himself, which usually results in him calling out to Mir for help and the latter finding him in a badly damaged state and in need of emergency repairs. He hides this side of himself well, though, and only two people have bore witness to the horrors of it happening in real time.

He has a preference for the more mature things in life and snubs his nose at things he considers “juvenile,” but he will indulge in them from time to time if it’s something his partners are into. He prefers hard liquor over juice or soda, he’s not overly fond of candy, and he absolutely abhors children being present around him due to his main designation still operating on the protocols of the bot he used to be. He knows how to look after kids, and is more than capable of wrangling the unruly ones back into line if it’s required of him thanks to his secondary designation, but if he can find an excuse to get out of it, he absolutely will.
