Thaneophyros is an Endbeing and the third member of Tuxe Labs, joining sometime around 4000 Earth years ago.

Current physical appearance

Thaneophyros is currently genetically locked as an Arraphim with left, right, wint, and zant angelic-type wing arrays which contain a 3x3 square arrangement arranged on the vertical axis and the perpendicular hand axis from the side it's on (for example their left and right wing arrays is arranged up/down and wint/zant). It is quite hard to represent on a 2D screen so it's commonly depicted as four 3x3 grids arranged to the left, right, up, and down of the central eye. Alternatively, their appearance can be represented in 3D by utilizing the front and back, as the 36 wings all technically lie on the same 3-hyperplane when at rest (though they are never really at rest, rather constantly in motion with each wing having its own flap cycle differing in both phase and frequency). The central eye has reflective gold-colored eyelids and completely black irises.

Like most Arraphims, Thaneophyros has telepathic and telekinetic abilities to interact with the world since he does not have any vocal tracts or arms.

== Personality == Thaneophyros, like the majority of Endbeings, has a more basic set of emotions than humans and isn't very expressive with them. Outzschcrad and Uncovesseltuxe are exceptions to this rule because they've been dealing with humans since the very beginning and thus learned to mimic humanity's expressiveness and later to fully experience it naturally and involuntarily. However, Thaneophyros has only existed with humans for 4000 years which is not very long on the Endbeing timescale. They are highly intelligent and deal with the world mostly through logic.

Thaneophyros' forms have a tendency to be very chaotic and vibrant, though the Arraphim form is about the most basic it could possibly be.

The future

In the canonical future relative to the point in time most lore is written in, Uncovesseltuxe and Thaneophyros visit Macrelydve in H4, but Macrelydve's species eats minerals and after offering Uncovesseltuxe some uranium (incorrectly assuming Endbeings also eat rocks) the radiation causes Uncovesseltuxe to spontaneously reroll into a Symbolacron form. Thaneophyros takes home the uranium and the genetic lock is broken as they reform into a Toriphan, thus making the team seem a lot more alien and geometric than before, as well as being more in tune with each other as the Symbolacron and Toriphan archetypes share many similarities.

After being a Toriphan for a while, Thaneophyros spontaneously rerolls into a Brachiocrus due to background radiation, but the new form has so many chaotic variations from the standard set of Brachiocrus features that it deserves its own section.

Pentriton form


As mentioned in the above paragraph, this form is an extremely chaotic Brachiocrus-type form that Thaneophyros rerolls into in the canonical future. It is the first genetically-locked Brachiocrus form in recorded history, which is quite insulting considering they were genetically locked as an Arraphim just two forms prior.

The Pentriton form has five-fold rotational symmetry in the left/right-wint/zant plane, with a separate front, back, top, and bottom. Unlike Thaneophyros's previous two forms, it appears demonic rather than the biblically accurate angel aesthetic. It has five draconic faces with dark blue scales and highly contrasted yellow eyes, and five separate vocal tracts connected to just one square of lungs and one brain. Thus, they can all talk at the same time, but they either are all inhaling, all exhaling, or all static. One face looks directly zant, a pair looks roughly left and right, and the final two face wint with a slight left and right angle (in other words, the edges of a regular pentagon with one side facing zant. Thaneophyros can turn their whole head but not the individual faces. While draconic Brachiocri usually have a pair of horns, in this case the horns form a crown-like circle and don't have a two-to-one correspondence with the faces.

The form has five arms, wint left, wint right, ~left, ~right, and zant, similar to the faces. The fingers are sickle-shaped metallic rods which move like how you'd expect a finger to move.

Despite all this weirdness, there's an even weirder aspect of the whole thing. The torso connects to the middle of a pentagram with titanium rods as edges. The upper side of the five regions not filled by the torso is a portal to a pocket dimension shaped like the cavity inside a hollow, very tall cubinder. Each region leads to a separate pocket dimension with those characteristics. Attached to the lower side of each region is a red tail resembling that of a merfolk; as usual there are five of them. Oddly, no nerve connections occur through the pentagram or its pocket dimensions, so control seems to be wireless.

The five tails, when not either submerged or deliberately doing something, involuntarily flail around and whip the floor every so often like a dolphin, sometimes with extreme force. Thaneophyros can use the tails themself but for some reason there isn't an option to keep them still. If the tails are submerged in water, they stop writhing, however once taken out of the water they become extra hyperactive, even hitting the faces sometimes. To walk on land, Thaneophyros angles two tails backward and two forward, and does an inchworm-like motion while the remaining tail continues to do its own thing. Swimming is far easier but is more like a squid than five linked fishes as one might expect.
