RE: The Grand OC SII: The Re-OCening: Week 17: METAMORPHOSIS!

Username: High Schoncept
Name: E1, or "Ellie"
Species: Elder Elver (juvenile)
Gender: Any, though different members of the research team tasked with it had their own notions.
Color: Ideorange
Description: E1 resembles a vaguely fish-shaped floating piece of foil-thin sheet metal, about eight feet long and three feet wide. A single, perfectly circular hole is cut out on the anteroposterior axis of symmetry, where this thing's head would be were it a real fish. One could fit their fist pretty comfortably through this hole, except for the orange-and-violet fire hovering in the middle of it. The entire shape is also wreathed in a multicolored flame, though the hues outside of orange are desaturated in comparison. The fire extends out the back in a translucent "tail" that makes E1's total length about twenty glowing orange feet.
E1 is small for their species thanks to a rich and steady diet from a young age which avoided the typical Elder Elver survival strategy of diffusing over a large enough area that they could find food. This is fortuitous for something the size of a galaxy does not a good Battle contestant make.
Carefully glued to the side of the Elver are some electronic devices: one is a tinny speaker E1 can activate by changing the properties of their skin, the others are designed to log location and ambient atmospheric data. They probably weren't designed for trans-universal logging. E1 is quite talkative, personable, and rather childish in personality. They possess a vast array of knowledge though it tends to take an esoteric/"alien" lens when they try to explain it.
Weapons/Abilities: E1's "skeleton" is made of an otherworldly material - while heavy impacts can and will bend it it'll readily unfold back to its usual shape. Being extremely thin and tough, E1's front edge makes for a dangerous knife's edge as it swims through the air/soil/whatever obstructs it, really. E1 "eats" by chopping things up into fine particles, also breaking down concepts or ideas associated with the matter into comprehensible chunks and consuming them with the bright flame in its eye-hole.
E1's non-front edges are starting to dissolve into semi-conceptual existence, which may demonstrate interesting properties depending on what is silly enough to touch it there. Along with its diet transitioning from "concept-infused matter" to raw ideas, and its habit of sometimes flying "flat" instead of "upright" it's quite clearly at the end of its current life stage and big changes are coming its way.

Biography:
Quote:The Department of Exoversal Studies invites all students and faculty to our weeklong series of lectures and events to commemorate the departure of our very own exoversal entity, E1. E1 has been a valued collaborator with the department, immeasurably expanding our understanding of the unusual lifeforms which dwell beyond the edge of our universe. E1's contributions while they carry research equipment on their migration to what can only be speculated as the Elder Elvers' interstitial spawning grounds, but their departure marks the end of an illustrious era in RIMI's history.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
