Fenestrate is a Black Muslim Egyptian who uses any pronouns. In Japanese, zit refers to zitself as watashi and others refer to zit with masculine and feminine terms interchangeably, and in Arabic zit is referred to with هي/هو interchangeably. Zit is autistic and has ADHD.

Early Life

Born in Luxor, Egypt, zit spent much of zits youth wandering the city and spending hours on end at museums. As zit grew up, zit started talking about music that could not be heard with one’s ears. When asked how zit heard the music, if not with zits ears, zit was vague, saying “I dunno, I just kind of hear it with my face, you know? The normal way you hear stuff like that.” Zit has since described this phenomenon as “the universe’s symphony of resonant mundanities,” or as zit more affectionately deems it, “some real rad tunes.”

Zit started school for physics, thinking zit might be better able to share the music with others if zit studied the forces that make up the immaterial plane. However, zit soon grew disillusioned with academia due to how the professors mishandled zits learning needs and decided zit would benefit more from self-education that was built for zits ADHD and autism instead of in spite of it.

As a young physicist outside of academia, Fenestrate frequently traveled and moved between countries as zit sought mentors in the discipline and eventually came into contact with acclaimed mathematician and buff fitness buff Stijn Strongbody. The two spent some years exchanging mail about their numerous theories. After some time, Fenestrate’s interests shifted and zit became more fascinated with the history of objects and how their songs change with the events that occur in their presence. Zit dropped contact with Strongbody as zits search for answers took zit from physics to history. Through the following years zit went through an intense punk phase, learned to play some instruments ---CHOOSE---, and moved to Tokyo. There, zit started rooming with future teammate Coolname Galvanic, discovered zit was aromantic after attempting to date Galvanic and broke up on amicable terms, and came out as genderfluid. Before being recruited to the Lift zit had been weighing the pros and cons of ---CHOOSE---.

Blaseball Career

After Strongbody performed what some on the Lift would later wistfully refer to as some “epic future vision math,” the events of 1997 allowed him to catch glimpses of the future where he recognized his former protege Fenestrate among the players on the yet-unformed team. The void left by the Ascension of the Baltimore Crabs and his rush to create the team of his vision prompted him to contact zit, asking whether zit would like to join. Hoping to hear Blaseball’s own unique symphonic soundscape in person, Fenestrate accepted.

Zits performance since joining the Lift has been somewhat underwhelming. Zit has told reporters that the sound of a home run is like no other, and despite zits clear skill in the splort and excellent plate discipline, zit is often so focused on achieving hits with that particular resonance that zit ends up making poor contact with the ball. zits batting career has been a long series of home runs, groundouts and flyouts, and zit is rarely actually seen on base where zit would be able to demonstrate zits baserunning prowess. Even so, zit easily remained one of the team’s better batters through the first half of the Expansion Era.

Time Spent Elsewhere

During the Lift’s final game of Season 14, Fenestrate was swept Elsewhere, and was there for the entirety of the two-year long siesta. Several months after zits return, a reporter stopped zit on the street and zit commented on a peculiar quality of the space:

“[The world] has always been a place of music to me. Every object... every being resonates with its own particular sound to create an impossible symphony beyond anything our ears can sense. Rubber-insulated wires and decomposing bark alike sing in languages I can’t really ever hope to translate for you. So while you may not quite understand the gravity of the situation, I’ll ask you to at least try to imagine what was going through my head when I was Elsewhere and everything was silent. I’ve never really experienced that before... It shook me. Yeah. I’d say it shook me far more than I would have expected.”

Despite maintaining zits usual laid-back countenance and deliberate speech patterns, zits speech became notably slower and more prone to trailing off in the middle of a sentence, and zit has conducted few talks at the Lift’s community center since zits return.

Captainship

After the respective redaction and incineration of Lift vice-captain Lance Serotonin and captain Strongbody, Fenestrate and Gerund Pantheocide found themselves thrust into Strongbody’s position as captain of the Lift. The two already had some synergy, as the two had previously bonded over a mutual love of punk culture and their personalities balanced out. Fenestrate’s inclination to hesitate and fail to commit and Pantheocide’s inclination to commit wholeheartedly, sometimes without adequately thinking through, balanced themselves out. ---LMAO EDIT THIS--- ...eventually stepped down

Personal Life

As a generally good-natured and mellow-mannered individual, Fenestrate has few troubles getting along with most members of the Lift.

Zit continues to co-inhabit zits old apartment with Galvanic, and the two have a close partnership where they are said to know each other like they know nobody else. Additionally, zit has what has been described as a “part-time queerplatonic relationship” with Grollis Zephyr, rents a makerspace in Tokyo with Concrete Mandible, Terrell Bradley, and Theodore Honeywell, and zit has also been recorded referring to the twice-late Alejandro Leaf as zits aunt on several occasions despite sharing no publicly-known familial connections.

Up until shortly before Strongbody's incineration, Fenestrate's relationship with him remained distant and awkward, and zit had admitted to feeling that he still just saw zit as the kid he mentored rather than the person that kid has become. Fenestrate has expressed mild discomfort at how zit found zitself following so closely in Strongbody’s footsteps.
