Kind of combining these two ideas a bit, a once-human, now cyborg engineer who writes poetry in their free time, perhaps the body they went into the black hole with was not the same one as the one they came out with. Now with some mechanical prosthetics and modifications to use, including an arm that can be pencil-fingered, a small pitching machine, or a net to catch a ball as needed, they've got to figure out yet another new body and situation they didn't ask for. In addition to their arm, they have an eye that acts as a tiny computer screen for them only, allowing them to access things like live cameras, the internet, and minsweeper (because why not), connecting them to others culturally, while still being socially separate.

Between being a ghost, a shadow, a pitcher, and finally a cyborg, perhaps they've decided that there's no point in trying to keep one stable, solid form, so in order to keep their sanity and to help their friends where they can, they now try to seek out changes for their body whenever they can in a way that helps them be a better player, person, and protector.

As for any sort of relationship with Rat Mason, I think we can start the lore with them just bonding over being friendly faces in the chaos for now, and if other lore changes down the line, I think we can change it from there.

Anyway, kind of keeps the spirit of constantly changing place and form, as well as emotional distance, even just in the base cyborg form, with the trauma, genius, and creativity directly shown by their hobbies and abilities. What do y'all think?
