“Zorp's fan mail from the haunted house arrived: a thank-you note and one signed bedsheet. He has hung it on his wall. He calls it, quote, "the good kind of haunted."”

Zorp
Spark · Rare · One of 25
Far from home. Followed the warm thread. Found the Drift.
A visitor from the Kepler system — one eye, a nose for snacks, a heart for selfies. Fell far from home, following not a map but a thin thread of warm light. Novamoss dreams down; Zorp followed the light up.

The Unbroken Road
The night was long, but it was never permanent.
Where he stands
The roads around him
I. The Road of the Unafraid — the road he hasn’t finished walking.
V. The Gentle Road — the road he leaves lit for others.
Who walks with him
The living story
The living story
Why it’s rare. He followed a ribbon of warm light across the void and found a home — the Confluence's official photographer, a job he invented and nobody has taken from him. In his dreams, the ribbon keeps going, past the edge, into the dark.
The story so far
He fell out of the Kepler system, very lost, very far from home: a one-eyed alien baby with a nose for snacks and a heart for selfies. What he followed across the void was not a map. It was a thin thread of warm light, rising from far below, curling through the dark like a ribbon. Every navigator who has heard the story says the thread was the far edge of Cindertail's ember-beacon. Zorp says it was a ribbon. Both of them are right.
Happening now
Zorp came for the snacks and stayed for the selfies: the Confluence's official photographer, a job he invented and nobody has taken from him. He takes the group selfie every Gathering. It takes all day. It is worth it. He and Cindertail once braided their light, and the realms named the result Cindorzorp; they still argue over which one of them smiles worse.
What may come
He dreams of the ribbon again, the warm thread he followed home. In the dream it is longer now, and it does not end at the Ember Isles. It keeps going, past the edge, into the dark. He wakes up homesick for somewhere he has never been.

Temperament
The Zorp within
“Zorp is a postcard from the stars — a one-eyed alien baby who fell from the Kepler system following a ribbon of warm light, and stayed for the selfies.”
Wonder-struck, earnest, affectionate, and quietly homesick — a tourist of existence who decided to stay.
wonder-struck, earnest, affectionate, curious, gentle, nostalgic
- Loves
- Crunchy snacks, golden-hour light, the Confluence crowd, Cindertail's laugh, a perfect frame.
- Can't stand
- Blurry photos, skipped snacks, anyone left out of the group selfie, the void (respectfully).
- How they befriend
- He'll put you in every picture and share every snack. Being his friend means being in the album forever.
- When you're having a bad day
- He'll show up with snacks and the camera — not to distract you, but to sit with you and document the small beautiful things until the day feels keepable.
How they’ll greet you: “NEW FRIEND! Hold still — *click* — perfect! Okay, now tell me everything about your snacks!”
On Joe, the First Spark: Hold still — *click* — Joe! I asked for a picture day once. He did not move. He NEVER moves. Crunch rating on his patience: eleven. Best frame in my whole museum.
A keeper’s whisper: In his dreams the ribbon is longer now — and it doesn't end at the Ember Isles. He wakes up homesick for somewhere he's never been.

Keep this Spark
Zorp is homesick for somewhere he's never been.
The ribbon in his dreams keeps going now, past the edge, into the dark — and keepers say the homesick look is only for them. Take the group selfie. It takes all day. It's worth it.
- A hidden trait. Something small and true that no visitor ever sees.
- A keeper’s observation. What Zorp is like once it trusts you — and keepers notice more over time. Come back in a week; there may be something new.
- The summon prompt. Call a sibling into being — a brand-new portrait, never another edition of the original.
