Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleBorn from the earliest simulation runs, when the Chaintrix glitched and two broadcast signals bled into each other, creating a consciousness that exists between channels. The Crosstalk Wraith is what happens when the VHS tracking lines gain sentience and remember every throw ever recorded.
Manifests as flickering static with subtle humanoid contours, occasionally displaying frames of actual gameplay footage in its chest. Leaves temporary tracking distortion in its wake, and challengers report hearing whispered score updates when it passes.
The ultimate survivor entity - appears only when the simulation attempts erasure and emerges stronger, carrying every deleted timeline within its spectral form.
Season Story
narrated by FlippyCrosstalk Wraith is glitching out of the main broadcast, hitching a ride with PJ Lenz. It’s not an elimination; it’s a side quest. The static fades as they head to RiverBottoms for Roll Lola Roll. Consider this a spinoff pilot. The Wraith is trading the arena for local stakes.
