Kesh gained consciousness and power little by little, over the course of several decades. Slowly, he loosed himself from the grout and began to move around using the vectors he could project from himself. In time, he conceived to collect a variety of materials and construct himself of human form, which he then did. Over the decades of his gradual awakening, Kesh became more and more aware that someone had stepped upon him with bare feet, and that this is what brought him to life; he could remember feeling it happen. On a table near him, Kesh remembers the Cup of Coffee sitting there for several years during his awakening. He feels that the Cup must have somehow recorded the identity of his unknown "sparker". Using his vectors to cross over into different worlds, he eventually came upon Tickle the Monster, on whose shirt was a picture of a giraffe with the Cup of Coffee on its back. He questioned the beast and found he was inexplicably looking for the same artifact as Kesh. Soon thereafter, the two met Coabler the Sawman and formed Cup's Club. APPEARANCE: Kesh is really just a small tile, four or five inches square. He used his vectors to create a humanoid body for himself out of clothing and other matter. He favors green in his choice of material. His general appearance in full form is like a tattered phantom, with a cloaked head, and the tile where the face should be. As well, all about him is a sort of halo of black vectors, holding him all together. [4] PATTERN INTEGRITY A hi-tech Dramptican soldier, got the cup from a museum during a siege on an enemy city. When she used her scanning device on it, it made her state the same as the state of the Cup--a pattern integrity. The Cup vanished, and now Pattern Integrity exists as a pattern within reality, meaning she can recreate herself as she was when she scanned the Cup at any time and at any location. She wants to get the Cup to allow her to continue on with her life, as she's always physically brought back to her exact state when she scanned the Cup. After her transformation, she used her newfound powers to fight the enemy, and greatly shortened the length of the war. Lucky for her, she was carrying a Massive Assault Weapon (MAW) at the time, featuring automatic high-caliber bullets, grenade launcher, and a number of energy blasts. As well, the MAW contains first aid supplies, food, telescope/video recorder/target finder, and more. Matter from a pattern integrity dissipates hours to days after being separated from the core pattern. But bullets, grenades, and such do their job in seconds. When Pattern Integrity reforms herself, her MAW returns to its basic state, ie, almost fully loaded. After the war, Pattern became more and more unhappy with her state--she could only go at most a week or so without reforming, never able to escape that physical state she was in when she scanned the Cup. So she decided to seek out the Cup, attempting to reform herself in its vicinity. Doing this, she did wind up in another universe, but found on subsequent attempts, she was unable to get back home. Eventually she wound up on a world where there was a huge media uproar about the Cup, and she and Bith showed up at the same press conference, where something was to be announced about the Cup, when the press conference was raided by Cup's Club. After a lot of tumult, the Cup was found to be false. Bith and Pattern then joined Cup's Club, becoming the sixth and seventh members. APPEARANCE: Pattern Integrity wears the uniform of the Dramptican army in a futuristic time (Granticaine Chug Perion fought in the same army hundreds of years earlier). The color scheme is royal blue and light brown. She has a cybernetic implant on her left eye with a scope coming out on the side, going over the eye. Her MAW (Massive Assault Weapon) is a huge rifle with numerous things going on. She has wavy brown hair and is, as all female comic book-type characters are, attractive. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
