NasueBlueCoati

==The User== An eccentric from Australia, NasueBlueCoati is a relative newcomer to Jon's streaming audience, watching for the first time in 2018. Before then, they'd dismissed Jon as yet another obnoxious "shouty Youtube man", but between Lucahjin's collaborative LP of America's Next Top Model with him, and his appearances on StephenVlog, it became clear that their first impression of him was mostly mistaken.

Nasue primarily interacts with the community through the Booru and the Egg PAC (and by extension the BVA setting). Their Booru posts usually come in one of three forms: sketches, participating in a Drawpile, or what they've dubbed the Photo-Shitpost series, which are... well, shitposts made in Photoshop (or whatever else is on hand). Bagel is a common subject, as Nasue is a big animal lover and cat-person.

Their interests include history (preference for pre-Industrial era, but all history is good history), mythology and folklore, cats, old sci-fi/fantasy art, animals, cats, prehistoric life, nonhuman entities (and the design and writing of such), cats, old computer games, old computer music... that's what they can remember off the top of their head at the time of writing this. They own two black cats.

On the side, they're working on a story which stars a cat who's lost in a fantasy world that got invaded by an evil overlord a hundred years ago and has to go on a harrowing journey to get back home. Art of characters from that story may occasionally show up on the Egg PAC.

At one point, after noticing how Jon only ever referred to them as "NasueBlue", they started changing the last word of their nick in the Egg PAC discord, once a day. It's become a thing that they just do now.

As you can see, they can be very wordy sometimes!

Fun Tidbits

 * During one Drawpile session, Nasue decided to do the date and title in a fancier way than usual. This was well-received, inspiring them to up the ante next session, and before long they became the de facto default artist for the Drawpile's titles, subtitles, and dates.
 * Nasue's username is taken from Nasuella, a genus of coati, and they even used to have a blue coati as their fursona.

The Character (or "BVA-sona")
Nasue the Bluecoat is a member of the BVA, specifically the manager of its café, Starbits. The café is unusual in that it remains in a constant location while the rest of the building's layout shifts and changes seemingly at random; fittingly, Nasue is something of an oddball, being secretive about their identity prior to joining the BVA - to the point that people didn't know what their species was until recently, and still don't know what their gender is. Still, provided you don't pry into their past or threaten their employees, they're a laid-back and mellow sort who reacts to unusual happenings with nothing more than an "Oh dear" or "Well, that's interesting" before getting back to work.

Unusually for a BVA member, Nasue is strictly a non-combatant, only engaging in combat in dire emergencies. This is largely because they're a cyborg, having become one after sustaining a life-threatening injury in the past, and they don't want to risk the mechanisms that keep them alive being damaged. The suit at least offers neat benefits like not having to worry about suffocation or inhaling things that shouldn't be inhaled.

They also have psychokinesis, AKA telekinesis, but that's mostly used for barista work.

Their room is a sealed chamber, complete with airlock, filled with a special gas that makes it the only safe place they have to remove their mask. Visiting that room would require a normal human to put on a mask and oxygen tank. The irony of that isn't lost on Nasue.

Unmasked
In a spectacularly unfortunate coincidence, the accident that led to Nasue being unmasked happened on their birthday. Under the mask was... nothing, not even a head. For a moment, it looked like the worst had happened. Then the headless body awkwardly stood up. With a flicker, a blue-tinted hologram of a feline head appeared above the body's shoulders, with similar markings to the mask that the body wore.

"Sorry about that," Nasue's holographic face said, bearing an awkward expression. "I forgot that being beheaded tends to mess with your head. (No pun intended.)"

Since that day, Nasue prefers to keep the mask on when at work or during meetings, and will only take the mask off when around a select few. The head, being a hologram, can look like whatever Nasue wishes; normally it's a reproduction of their old face, but at times they will turn it into a giant word, an emoticon, or - depending on how trollish they feel - a copy of someone else's face. They can even make the hologram vanish entirely, but only while their body is making contact with the mask in some fashion.

Transformations

 * Monster girl (Tiger-Brows/Tiger Brew) - Transforms into what has been described as "the horrifying offspring of the Dullahan, a centaur, and some sort of lizard". You do not want to know where the new honkers are. Their mask transforms into a flaming skull.
 * Dragon (Chill-Rae) - Transforms into a giant serpent. Does not gain a breath weapon; instead their psychokinesis becomes more powerful. Their mask loses the ears in favour of fin-like ears.
 * Meltdown (???) - Forcibly transformed into a tree-like being made of pure kinetic energy, albeit with coat intact. The mask takes on a skull-like appearance. The cause is unknown, but is believed to be connected to extreme emotional distress.
