History
COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
Conrad Twelve is the twelfth incarnation of a serially-reincarnated personality-bundle called Conrad. Each incarnation of Conrad is substantially different to all the previous iterations, but is also host to the personality imprints (or as they prefer to tell it, “haunted by the ghosts”) of the prior incarnations. All incarnations of Conrad have dwelt in the area now known as Chicago, including the earliest incarnations which date back to pre-Columbian North America.
It remains unclear why “the Conrad” reincarnates in this way, or why the Conrad seems to have a link to Chicago. Conrad Twelve has explained only that “it feels like we’re searching for something”.
Conrad Twelve is a forty-three year old African-American person. A qualified robotics major, Conrad worked as a roboticist for NALSA during his twenties, before quitting in order to “find herself”. As part of this journey of discovery prior to joining the main roster of the Chicago Firefighters, Conrad Twelve was employed for seven years as a long-distance trucker. On this unexpected career move, Conrad is said to have commented “you can’t find yourself if you don’t go looking in a lot of different places”.
Conrad heard the Call when on a trucking job between Seattle and Washington D.C. While idling in congestion on the Chicago Sklyway, Conrad abruptly exited the cab, abandoned their vehicle and set off on foot for the Fire House, where he would spend the next XX years in the Firefighter's Shadows, while also proving to be an excellent driver of fire trucks.
Conrad has a cheerful, sunny disposition despite his complex and crowded psyche. Her personality is often described as “avuncular”. Conrad’s decision making and awareness of immediate reality can be lacking due to the psychic crosstalk, but they are also valued amongst the Firefighters for their wisdom distilled from His many lives. She is also known for an occasional streak of terrifying ruthlessness, which they channel especially while on the mound: this is thought to stem from the influence of the [DATA MISSING] personality.
Conrad’s understanding of his gender is in a continuous state of evolution, partly owing to the influence of her previous selves. Conrad Twelve experiments often with their gender presentation.
Like all of us, he is from Chicago. Her jersey number is 12.
