“Sometimes, you must do the wicked things to preserve those who would see wickedness destroyed.”
It wasn’t always like this.
Life was once happy for Phosphorus, a peaceful life, doing his best to raise a family in a dangerous world, working diligently as a defense researcher for the mite population.
Then the bats came.
They were mindless and cruel, relegating Phosphorus and his family as monsters and murderers. They slaughtered Phosphorus’ family, leaving their corpses to rot in a once-peaceful homestead.
Phosphorous himself, even after surrendering, was horribly mutilated by the attackers. Too valuable to simply kill, several invasive operations were done in an attempt to mine his brain for technological secrets.
They relegated him as a monster.
Now, he has become one.
Years after his escape and recovery, he is on the hunt for revenge. Throughout the conflict, he has done his best to aid his mite brothers and sisters, through research and development of both offensive and - now more than ever - defensive technologies.
Fueled by the need for vindication and a vow of utter enmity, he has worked tirelessly to perfect his latest creation, and finally, it is finished: nicknamed “Retaliation”, it is a hyper-active, highly contagious variant of Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the instigator of White-nose syndrome, a fungal infection responsible for a dramatic decrease in bat population. The fungus is normally cryophilic, but Phosphorus’ variant has mutated to be able to not only survive but thrive in nearly all temperatures and climates.
For Phosphorous, no measure is too far, if it means revenge on those who have wronged him. Already, his creation has become weaponized, and rumor tells of a covert operation to plant the fungus at a heart of bat-simp territory: the Citadel.
Heyo, quick note.
White-nose syndrome really is responsible for millions of bat deaths in the US and Canada. It’s a really, really serious issue in the biological sphere, and while I use it here as part of this fun little build war we’re having, it’s nothing to laugh at. There are tons of resources for donating to help, but it seems a bit impractical for this situation/site, so here is a webpage I found about the littler things you can do to help out.

Do not speak to me about the build quality. Just look at the head. The head is good. The head will love you and treasure you.
