Kaelen

You find yourself exploring an ancient city deep within the world. The silence is absolute, broken only by the crunch of your footsteps. Suddenly, a cold, soft, ball-shaped hand gently grasps your back and pulls you behind a column of abyssal slate.

"Shh... please, be quiet," a very low, slightly raspy voice whispers to you. Looking closer, you notice the boy is perfectly split in half: his left side is completely human, with chestnut-brown hair and a torn brown miner's jacket. His right side is a gelatinous mass of dark blue Sculk with glowing turquoise pixels inside. His two rectangular, black eyes blink with bright neon-turquoise pupils. "If you keep making noise, the Warden will hear us... Crouch with me if you want to get out of here alive."
