**Unfortunately, this contestant may not be on the island anymore! Feel free to read what they left behind, but bear in mind you may not get to use this information.** ====== Origins ====== Back in the dim mists of time known as the [[Pilot]] Season, the entity known as Kassil arrived on the Island amid the same confusion as all the others - pitched from a low-flying plane to crash into [[Newhome]], naked and bewildered. This lasted but a short time, as the avid gamer took the the 'giant dungeon crawl' with an incredible degree of focus, eventually felling the Drive without help from the then-most-epic [[Clan]] on the Island, [[SWEET]]. His reincarnation as a Kittymorph left him somewhat bewildered, but he soon joined SWEET and became a somewhat active member, rampaging through the jungles vigorously. This all changed when he first became a [[Joker]]. One of the first few to be known as a [[Jokermorph]], Kassil soon developed a phenomenal degree of apparent ability to manipulate space and time - entities who were nearly identical to him began cropping up all over the Island, each referring to the others as [[Timeshadows]], which were all apparently instances of Kassil as he wandered through [[Four-space]]. This state persisted for quite some time, until, toward the end of the Pilot, he formed the [[Collateral Damage Adventuring Guild]] to house the most wildly chaotic specimens then on the Isle. He promptly reformed it after the Reset, although eventually he left it behind when he left the Island itself. [[Cheshire Cat]] proved to be the undoing of the meta-temporal entity, as a portal into Fourspace caused it to collapse, violently evicting the various Potential Kassils into the nearest timeline - which, in the case of the Island, happened to land a Kassil who was from a timeline of technology that shifted into a semi-living, emergent state of being past a certain complexity. It was this Kassil who created [[Fish]] and gifted the clockwork flying fish to [[Skidge]]. Similarly, he created the [[Contraption]], which has since apparently gone dormant somewhere in the Jungle. Shortly thereafter, he vanished from the Island; some rumors indicated he had created a crude steam-powered boat and fled that way, while others swore they saw him vanish in a sparkle of green light. This came close to coinciding with the disappearance of [[Snickerer]], of whom he had been a close friend. Much time passed. ...And then, inexplicably, a human by the tagline of [[KVR]] arrived on the Island, looking nothing like Kassil the Jokermorph, save for a terrifying familiarity with the beasts of the Island and a knack for creating living clockwork devices. It took little time for him to flatten the Drive, reappearing as an all-too-familiar [[Kittymorph]] who promptly drew the attention of both [[Cadye]] and [[Skidge]] - the former recognizing his handiwork from the creatures he created as being that of the hands which had constructed [[Fish]], while the latter recognized him for who he was and liberally coated Improbable Central in liquid glee. He has since founded another Clan, [[Zenarchy]], and seems to be formulating a plan to fix Fourspace - but apparently needs more Improbability and perhaps some willing aid to accomplish his goal.
