Charles The Sketchy Salesman

Charles The Sketchy Salesman was once a charismatic pitchman for Chronos Industries, a corporation more interested in quarterly profits than consumer safety, until he made the fatal mistake of activating an untested teleportation device during prime-time television without bothering to study a single warning label. The resulting molecular cascade transformed him into a sentient radioactive ooze, a catastrophe his employers quickly buried—quite literally, leaving him to seep into the studio's baseboards while they resumed hawking the defective watches to unsuspecting customers. Salvation came in the form of an eccentric mad scientist who recognized potential in Charles's liquefied remains and carefully preserved them within an advanced synthetic humanoid frame, complete with artificial skin that concealed his luminescent orange core. Now bound to a strict regimen of nutrient paste and oxygenated water to prevent total biological decomposition, Charles exists in a strange liminal state between life and ruin, neither fully human nor entirely machine. His experience with corporate deception and his newfound desperation have made him a man of flexible morals—willing to take any job, ask few questions, and exploit whatever advantages his unique physiology might provide. Whether driven by a desire for revenge against those who abandoned him or simply by the need to survive another day without dissolution, Charles has become a figure of shadows and schemes, operating in the murky spaces between right and wrong where his particular talents are most valued.
