Bob

Bob
'I am one with the void and stars. I am ageless, yet both young and old. I see the past and the future, in the present. Physical and Metaphysical. '

But you may call me...Bob.

Despite an amusingly simplistic name, Bob himself is somewhat of a mystery. The Iron Apple crew first encountered the phantasmal Alicorn when they made an emergency stop at seemingly derelict space hulk; an ancient capitol ship called The Transcendant. Almost more of a presence than an actual person, its not very often when he chooses to manifest physically; one reason being, is only certain areas and certain necrotic magic allow him to stay like that for long. Despite that, he has provided what guidance he can from beyond the void.



The reason for his seeming odd attatchment to a group like them, was his fear of the Madness, still imprisoned at the time; he would do whatever he could to ensure it was not released - but alas, despite his efforts, Red Sunburst released it anyway. Since then, he has vanished, and has not been seen since.

Red Sunburst seeks immortality, which was something the Madness could provide her; essentially granting her some wishes if she were to release her. Bob promised her another route to the same end, that did not involve releasing the ancient evil; by prodding her to unlock the Door on the enigmatic Red City. Despite already having released the Madness, she still plans on opening the Door, for she wished for other things than immortality, seeing as how she might get the best from both worlds.
