SpoilerName: The Disharmonious Wave, or Disharmony
Gender: Nongendered.
Colour: Tan
Race: The Disharmonious Wave is a unique entity- some would call it more of a phenomenon than an entity- which can most accurately described as a living vibration. The Disharmony exists as a vibration of particular regularity in solid matter, and can move itself through matter at a speed correlated with the density of the matter. It can pass through liquid at reduced speed, and through gas at even further reduced rate; vacuum functions as an absolute wall to the Disharmony, which it has no method of crossing. Physical trauma has no effect on the Disharmony; neither does heat or light. The Disharmony can only perceive through the medium of mechanical vibrations; if an entity is completely unmoving and silent, the Disharmony will not be able to 'see' it unless it 'infects' the mass of the organism.
Equipment/Abilities:The Disharmony has the ability to create powerful vibrations in rigorous materials like steel, glass, and concrete to create fractures wherever it pleases as long as its 'body' is inside said materials. This can be used offensively to pummel structures into rubble and dust, or more precisely to dislodge heavy objects above the heads of enemies. The Disharmony can in addition 'infect' any solid object it can reach with itself as it so chooses; except for entities of exotic matter or pure energy, living organisms are not exceptions to this ability. The Disharmony can in addition launch powerful sonic attacks through gaseous mediums, and can also imitate with perfect ventriloquism any sound it has ever heard before. However, the Disharmony has a strict 'body' volume, and infecting matter with itself means that it has to spread itself thinner; using the sonic attack ability results in a permanent loss of 'body' volume. This is countered by the Disharmony's ability to eat vibrations that pass near it, such as sonic waves passed through a gaseous medium or mechanical waves through a solid medium it inhabits to replenish its 'mass'. If matter inhabited by the Disharmony is split into two pieces, no negative effect is had on the Disharmony; it can control all split pieces that constitute it in almost a hivemind-like manner, and in fact uses this method to 'reproduce' by infecting other objects with itself.
Description: Being a living vibration, it has no particular visual appearance other than the effects of the objects it inhabits subtly vibrating. However, it can be heard from approximately a meter or so away, emitting a very distinct hum that moves regularly up and down in pitch. The Disharmony has no particular motivation beyond the disintegration of all rigorous matter in the universe, and is more than willing to cooperate with others to further this goal; being as intelligent as the average person, it is entirely capable of deception and is aware that telling entities which do not already know about its motivations generally leads to turning those entities into enemies of its cause. It may offer boons to people in exchange for their assistance, for example by infecting their arm or clothing as a one-time-use voice-activated sonic boom weapon. The Disharmony prefers to speak in the same voice as the entity it is addressing, and adopts a very mechanical and logical personality when conversing.
The Disharmony grants no special mental role to living entities, and considers them simply another form of matter to be reduced to dust, one which happens to move around a lot and tries to avoid inevitable fate. However, it is more than willing to debate the merits and meaning of life with any entity that takes offense to its particularly omnicidal philosophy; so far, none have managed to sway the Disharmony. The Disharmony's sole source of pleasure is the disruption of crystals, which it tends to prioritize.
Errata: The majority of the Disharmonious Wave is currently incarcerated in a megaplanet of highly flexible vibration-resistant gum floating in intergalactic vacuum. If the Disharmony were able to return to an earth-like planet, it could quickly move through the crust of the planet to absorb massive amounts of mechanical vibration due to tectonic movement, and spread to consume the entire planet through exponential expansion. Such an event would be followed by the Disharmony vibrating the planet into rubble which spreads to infect other planets, a calamitous apocalypse which is responsible for its current state of incarceration. In theory, disintegration of all Disharmony-infected matter would result in the phenomenon's permanent death. However, given that the Disharmony can survive even through as little as two atoms conjoined to each other, this is an ill-advised action due to its high risk.
