Name: Sollux Captor Current location: Asphodel Current Physical Appearance: Significantly taller, lanky, more cyborg-y, pretty emaciated since he spends most of his time in a sensory isolation tank. Summary: When Karkat absconded to Asphodel, Sollux was right beside him, of course. How else would you pull off a high-risk escape from a near-omnipresent AI without a hitch? The problem was that when they joined the Resistance, the members didn't trust Sollux (as a cyborg and an alien) and kept him under constant guard in a single room for months. When he was allowed out again he was never quite...right. He was jumpy, antisocial, and almost seemed disconnected from the world.
Eventually Sollux designed a defense/comm/warning/etc system for the Resistance that could rival Hypatia's in technological sophistication, controlled by organics, but it came at the price of reprising his ancestor's role as Helmsman - he now spends every moment of his existence suspended in sensory deprivation and plugged into the system of his own design, directing matters from there. It's okay, though. He barely remembers what it's like to inhabit a body anymore, so he doesn't much miss it.
