Northstar - The Hell Who Failed
âJust because you can destroy everything, doesnât mean you have to.â
Unique Iterated Trait - Thunderstruck
Northstarâs abilities come from his namesake, the North Star. His body is a weapon, able to kill Habits if he needs to. In addition to that, he has the ability to manipulate static electricity for his own use, whether to power a toaster, or give another Habit the experience of being hooked to a car battery.
Backstory
One of the toughest Habits overall, Northstar is a very special case. He shares the splitting ability that Fairmount possesses, but it goes far deeper than just an extra body to cause chaos with. In his iteration, Northstar was many things, a menace to Evan, a father to his daughter Bonnie, a hunter, but the most important, of all? He was almost the strongest Habit.
Having gotten a bit too ambitious, he decided to not only devour Habits, but to try and eat stars out of the sky. Unfortunately for him, the rush of pain and power was far too much for him to handle, permanently branding him with an all too familiar symbol, and splitting him in half, his counterpart Octantis branded with the Southern Star. Out of rage and shame for being unable to handle eating stars, Northstar formed a hatred for his other half, which was very much reciprocated.
In fact, this mutual hatred with Octantis led to his counterpart leaving the country entirely, which Northstar was fairly pleased with, even if he would prefer Octantis left the iteration entirely.
When Loathesome showed up to devour him, it was one helluva fight, but weakened from splitting in half against Loathesome and his battery, Northstar wasnât quite able to get away. Devoured and distraught, Northstar gravitated to Centralia, attempting to parent him to make up for the time heâd miss with Bonnie.
