Ersatz - The Dormant
āYou will know it is the right thing if your camera picks up glittery sparkles, or if you feel a sudden agonizing burning in your everything.ā
Unique Iterated Trait - Reset
Ersatz has the ability to āresetā his own iteration whenever he pleases. This power doesnāt extend to other iterations, but in his own? Absolutely! If things get too out of hand, he can just jump back to the point where he first inhabited Evan and do it all over again to his heartās content.
Backstory
In his iteration, he was top dog, doing whatever he felt like, whenever he felt likeā¦ Until he started inhabiting Evan. Thatās where it all started going downhill, having gotten stuck inhabiting Evan permanently. He was pissed. Having gotten stuck in a horrible fleshy body after Vinnieās misguided attempt to save himself and Evan from radiation sickness, Habit made it his goal to make the pair as miserable as possible.
Still, even in this goal, he just couldnāt win.
Ersatz can be considered one of the most unfortunate Habits with the arrival of Jessie. Not only could he not seem to irradiate her enough to kill her, but she took to tormenting him instead of the other way around! Of course, Vinnie started getting ideas too, so he was stuck in a bit of a shitty situation.
At the peak of his tantrum, right when he was about to reset the iteration, he discovered an iteration rift, the very first one. So, he hopped through to take a look. Upon encountering another Habit, he immediately retreated to get a plan set out. Unfortunately for him, this plan would never come to fruition as he would be discovered and then devoured immediately afterwards by Loathesome. So, stuck in Loathesomeās skull, he didnāt have much to do.
Well, nothing other than to call out to his still living Evan and order him to rescue him.
