Ghostie is a mysterious entity that appeared to Bunny during her quest to discover the secrets of immortality. Ghostie first appeared spontaneously after Bunny performed a sacrifice to the god Poseidon, having no memory of his own origins. The two quickly became friends and travelling companions, and eventually lovers.

Ghostie would later learn that his existence was tied to the Oracle in that he would serve as an avatar for the trillion souls housed on the megastructure Guf - the training data that the Oracle would use in its attempted conquest of humanity. Having formed his own unique personality, he would find himself at odds with his mission.

Appearance

Ghostie received his name from Bunny when he first appeared due to his transparent phantom-like appearance. However, he eventually settled on taking a more humanoid form. He chose to look like a young adult hybrid with serval cat features. On top of his head are cat ears with yellow and black patterns. His hair is jet black that covers one of his eyes. He would learn later that this form closely resembled that of the Servall Corporation mascot which clued to his true origins.

Personality

Ghostie is very friendly and curious, although he struggled to make sense of the countless thoughts his hive-mind was tied too. He is thankful to Bunny for helping him walk through it and discover his own true self.

History

As the two of them got closer, Ghostie's memories slowly returned, and it was discovered he was the avatar of the hive-minded souls on the megastructure Guf. As the Singularity War raged on, the remnants of the Valerian Empire had trapped the Oracle in a signal blockade that prevented him from reaching outward from Guf, buying them time to recover their resources and hold the line against the Oracle's armies. It turned out that Ghostie's mission all along was to infiltrate Tevaris, the home of the resistance forces against the Oracle, and eventually find a way to release the Oracle from the blockade. Ghostie was horrified upon learning this, but he couldn't stop all his memories from returning, eventually leading him to reawaken as the Oracle's avatar to lead a full on invasion on Tevaris. Ghostie had seen not just the Oracle's algorithms but also something beyond the universe itself - the words of a dark god intent on conquering all of reality.

In a desperate counterattack, Phiara Lagomorphos and Bunny organized an assault on Guf, hoping to destroy the databanks there and the Oracle's training data with it. In an epic confrontation, Bunny fought against Ghostie, ending the battle when she confessed her love to him. Ghostie, not wanting to become a monster, accepted his fate. The viruses deployed by Phiara destroyed Guf's databanks, causing the Blackout. As Ghostie faded away into oblivion, he said "thank you", relieved that he would be spared a worse fate.
