Nightheart is one of the six deuteragonists of Crystallic’s Starbound Trilogy. He serves as a major character in Starbound: The Black Nebula and Starbound: Rise of the Stargazers, and one of the three deuteragonists of Starbound: The Glitch Empire. He is a humorous glitch who gained self awareness, but was shunned by his kind for his new awareness. So, he tried to spread self awareness to help free his kind from being trapped in their delusions. He met an injured and outcasted Tatasia, and gave her a new robotic arm to replace her old one, and became her friend ever since. He currently serves as the engineer for the Black Nebula.

Personality[]
Nightheart is a friendly, charismatic glitch with a good sense of humour. He will always try to fit a joke into a situation, and rarely takes things seriously, as he is pretty easygoing in general. He is sociable and friendly to talk too, as he rarely acts aggressive, as he will try to make people feel safer or easier. He always tries to make everyone laugh by doing crazy things or telling jokes.
Even though he jokes a lot, Nightheart is good for emotional support. He is understanding of bad situations, such as when he first found Tatasia and immediately felt remorse for her, despite only just gaining sentience. He helped fight against the Miniknog, as he found their control over the apex similar to the glitch’s error in their code. But he never drops his charisma, and will still try to be a little jokey.

The Black Nebula[]
| “ | Helpful. If they felt remorse, then maybe we should let them slide? The Miniknog are known for forcing people into joining them! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart trying to reason with Tatasia. |
| “ | Annoyed. Dammit, she never listens to me! Is it because when she talks to me, it's like talking to a robot, but she's actually talking to a robot? (*Cricket noises...*) Angry. It's because I have green eyes, isn't it?! Well, time to become a genocidal tyrant! Just kidding. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after being ignored. |
| “ | Apologetic. I'm really sorry about her. She can get really stubborn... She was one of the top apex rebels, her name is Tatasia Offentus. She, like any reasonable apex, hates the miniknog. But unfortunately, her hatred for them is way too strong, so she's trying to prevent the chance of a comeback... So she's killing all ex-miniknog... Worried. She is trying too hard to prevent another, I get her concerns but she's going too far, and I'm worried she's gonna get herself seriously hurt! I'm also concerned about all the public, and any ex-miniknog who are trying to change... | „ |
| ~ Nightheart apologising for Tatasia’s actions. |
| “ | Humorous. *begins chanting* Queueing for erchius, queueing for errrrchius, queueing for erchius, but I'm on a horse! I'm on a horse, I'm on a hooorse! I don't need erchius, cuz he runs on carrots! (Tatasia: Can he fly?) Hopeful. Mayyyybe? He has wings- *one of the wings falls off* oh crap their fake. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart riding a horse, chanting while there is a fuel shortage. |
| “ | Reassuring. It's alright, I like talking. Maybe because I don't have any vocal chords to strain! Informative. So... Us glitch are weird. We were built in an attempt to simulate organic life and society, but then something in our code fucked up, and we were trapped in a loop, unable to shake our medieval beliefs, and completely oblivious to the outer world around us. But some of us are lucky enough to break free from that curse, and become self aware. It happens sometimes, and to me, it happened when I realised that I was happily... plug on plug, not plug on socket. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart on how he got free from his programming, while also coming out. |
| “ | Sad. Unfortunately, because of that, alongside my newly gained self awareness, the people who I once called my loving family and friends shunned me, abandoned me. Everyone turned their backs, and I was an outcast. So I just wandered away from my village, unable to return. *sighs* | „ |
| ~ Nightheart on how he was rejected from his society due to his new gained awareness, and his sexuality too. |
| “ | Reflective. But then I saw Tatasia. She was alone, crying in the middle of a field. She was heavily injured, and her entire right arm was missing! (Lexie: O-Oh my! That explains the...) Informative. Correct! I saw her, and I didn't know what she was. So I talked to her and she began venting about everything... About how her brother got tortured to death in front of her by her mother, before her mother sliced off her right arm with a saw, then tossed her out and left her for dead... Disgusted. I really hated the miniknog from how she described them, but then I felt a connection. Reflective. We were both trapped, and outcasted by our people. So I felt like I had to help her. First thing I did? Made her a new arm. Then I helped fight against those villainous dictators! And now... You got what we have today. I want to spread freedom and self awareness. Living under a strict control is a horrible way of life that can't continue. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart on how he met Tatasia. |
| “ | Honest. I know that Tatasia can be an ass, but she's not a bad person. When I told her about my problems, she fully understood and sympathised with me. She also confessed that her brother was also plug on plug, and apparently my sense of humour reminded her of him. She didn't want the miniknog to find and hurt me, as I was newly self aware, so she helped me understand everything I do. I wanted to help her, so we stick by eachover, even if she doesn't wanna admit anything. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart about Tatasia. |
| “ | Advising. The less we care, the happier we are! I mean, come on. I literally make typos on purpose when making products to make things funnier! I have been fired 68 times... (Tatasia: *elbows nightheart* If you aren't careful you'll be fired a 69th time.) *laughs* Pleased. That would be nice! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart cracking a joke about messing up text and being fired “68 times”. |

| “ | Jokey. Can I eat a table? *smirks* (Tatasia: *sighs* Don't mind him, he doesn't take anything seriously. I'll have-) Completely not serious in any way. I AM 100% SERIOUS! *laughing* I WANT A TABLE FOR DINNER! DON'T JUDGE ME!!! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart at the restaurant. |
| “ | Polite. Greenfinger, it is an honour to meet you! I'm glad your all ok. If you weren't ok, then... well I wouldn't be saying hello to you and stuff! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart greeting Tori’s greenfinger. |
| “ | Sarcastic. Oh I'm so sorry, I just hacked your base so you can't go into lockdown! And I didn't even use my axe! I must be really good at this! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after hacking the FEO base. |
| “ | Annoyed. Right. I think we've had quite enough of you! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart before fighting Desert. |
| “ | Dissapointed. That's a really cool mech, but we have to destroy it! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after seeing Mika’s mech. |
| “ | Frustrated. DAMMIT! I was hoping she'd listen! Well at least the audience is satisfied that she didn't get a last minute out of nowhere redemption. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after Mika doesn’t redeem herself. |
| “ | Suggestive. How about we instead chop it with an axe? (Robin: Your only saying that because you have an axe!) Annoyed. Dammit I got exposed! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart and Robin on what to do with a statue of Mika. |
Rise of the Stargazers[]
| “ | Excited. Are we going on another epic compelling 2 and a half hour adventure? Pessimistic. Eh, probably not, this is gonna be a bad sequel. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart preparing against Ezalco. |
| “ | Excited. My names Nightheart, I'm the grand protector! (Xochtal: WHAT?!) Jokey. Just kidding! | „ |

| ~ Nightheart proposing a literal toast. |
| “ | Sad. Why does nobody remember my name? Nightheart is a handsome name! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart upset that Azima forgot his name. |
| “ | Observant. I mean, it was really obvious, unless your someone who marks college work, who needs the definition of why hurting innocent people is bad explained to them. | „ |
| ~ *glares at my college assignments* |
| “ | Proud. I'm a Jedi knight! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart loving his disguise. |
| “ | Desperate. SPEAKING ONE MORE TIME BECAUSE I'LL HAVE TO BE SILENT FOR MOST OF THIS MISS- | „ |
| ~ Nightheart speaking just before his mission where he has to be quiet. |
| “ | Curious. Why did you buy 3 hovercars? I thought you didn't want to. Did begging using Marshmallow change your mind? (Ethyl: You'll see tomorrow...) Proud. Lemme know if they need fixing, because I'm the ultimate carfucker! Sarcastic. Oops, sorry, slip of my non existent tongue! (Ethyl: Yer' emotion speech gives it away...) Informative. I meant I was an ultimate engineer, so I can fix the hover cars! Or maybe make some adjustments? I'd love to make them dispense cola as they zoom! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart and Ethyl discussing hover cars. |
| “ | Saddened. T-This is... | „ |
| ~ Nightheart’s reaction to Xochtal’s betrayal. |

| ~ Nightheart to Xochtal. |
| “ | Hurt. I'm a bit broken... may need some scrap metal to repair myself, got dented too... guess I'll be revolutionary and engineer on myself... Heh, a first... | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after the crash. |
| “ | Understanding. Got it, I won't taunt him easily! I'll taunt him in the most harsh ways possible that his brain short circuits! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after Ethyl tells everyone to ease the taunts. |
| “ | Intimidating. Do you, the princess, want to fight me, a mere, rebellious peasant? (Moonquill: Respectful. If you were a peasant, I wouldn't be fighting...) | „ |
| ~ Nightheart and Moonquill. |
| “ | Smug. Careful Ezalco, there's nothing better then the brain! And my electricity comes straight from it! Shocking, isn't it? | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after electrocuting Ezalco. |
| “ | Confused. Did I just... KILL A PRINCESS?! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after “killing” Moonquill. |
The Glitch Empire[]
| “ | Stressed. Can we try again? That was a horrible first impression! I can't even think of a tag line for all of this! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart after both crews start arguing. |
| “ | Upset. I... I don't think it's right, either. Life felt so plain before, but being awakened was a blessing. I learned many new things and met new people. Having free will provides opportunities for everyone! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart rejecting Stormlance. |
| “ | Worried. Tatasia, don't do anything stupid... I know you more then anyone on his ship, and I know you need help to face your fears. I'll help you, just like I liked to help my old village... Upset. Oh, how I miss them... I hope Stormlance hasn't got to them. I'll just hope they haven't! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart’s worries about Tatasia. |
| “ | *starts singing* Furious. Their all lazy fucking useless cunts, government, government! Their all greedy cunts I wanna shoot them all *pulls out a rifle* WITH A RIFLE!!! *starts shooting in the air* | „ |
| ~ Nightheart song ranting after the government steal resources. |
| “ | Curious. What would you do if they turned you into a crime lord? You wouldn't like it, but you'd never know! Trust me, I know the danger... | „ |
| ~ Nightheart warning the mayor. |
| “ | Distressed. I can't... Guilty. Tatasia, Katsu, Lexie, Kumiko, Azima, Ludvig, Zaura... NO!!! Their going to kill them... It's my fault, I couldn't protect them like I couldn't protect my village, or my race! Maybe... I just... I don't know if I can take this... How much longer can I keep this up? They want someone to make them laugh, but in a situation like this... I don't know how to be funny anymore?! Uhh, what DO I DO?? | „ |
| ~ Nightheart feeling distraught and guilty after multiple of his friends are captured and realising the truth. |
| “ | Angry. Because... Trapping people in simulations... It's wrong. People want to live their lives... You take their lives away. I... I couldn't protect my village from you. All I can do now is make sure that I protect my new community! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart to Stormlance. |
| “ | Depressed. I've felt bad... ever since I left my village for the first time. I'm honestly depressed, and it's not a joke this time. I've loved exploring, and I love how much is out there, but it's all been so... different. I miss everyone at home, but being with Tatasia, helping her stop the Miniknog, I loved making a difference. Meeting with all of you was great, we made so many memories, so many adventures, so many bad guys defeated... It was all a nice distraction from now I really feel. I liked telling bad jokes and puns, it helped ease my mind, I wanted everyone else to feel like they could relax and have fun when I was around. But seeing that bitchy princess for the first time, it felt like an old nightmare coming back to haunt me. Soon, we went to that glitch planet, and... it all came back. Seeing everyone... trapped! I hated it so much, so much that I didn't say a word... Honestly, it made me kind of glad that Ezalco showed up, it snapped the mood a lot... I'm sorry if that came out wrong, but... I hate myself. I've been losing myself, I don't know how to be funny, this situation with my own race... It's overwhelming. To the point I don't know what to do. I want to just... disappear. But I can't... That would upset everyone! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart revealing his mindset. |
| “ | Honest. Yeah, you do. But... I wouldn't have it any other way, everyone here has a different personality. It's what I like about life! Hell, my sisters dead... I do consider you sister-like, your like that overprotective older sister who talks a lot of shit but if anyone else does, you make them wish they were never born. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart to Tatasia. |
| “ | Sincere. Stormlance took away my village... I don't want it to happen to anyone else. Since his own daughter has turned on him, I'm grateful. It means more realise the truth, and more can change. She knows everything! I'm in! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart supporting Moonquill to join. |
| “ | Friendly. Hello, young lady! (Protector: Floran isss 28!) Apologetic. Right, I see! Informative, Anyways, your a protector, right? Wanna rebuild the protectorate? Now with additional cookies! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart encouraging protectors to join. |
| “ | Agreeing. Of course! But you can't only use your emotions against her. I get it's difficult to control them, but you should use your wits as well. Observe her, don't go for all out attack all at once! Your mother can't be taken down by hate and anger alone. It's not good to rely on anger. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart encouraging Tatasia not to use brute force. |
| “ | Informative. Remind yourself... You have to. Think of the stakes, and not the delicious ones that get cooked up every night, I mean, the universe. And thinking calmly will put you above her, you'd love to be above her. She uses anger and fear, if you can trick her into making a mistake, it's over for her. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart to Tatasia before they face Kleriya. |
| “ | Annoyed. She was a CHILD, you crazy woman! She wouldn't of been able to do shit, she would've been killed too! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart calling out Kleriya for blaming Tatasia for her husbands death. |
| “ | (Kleriya: DO YOU WANNA DIE? DO YOU REALLY WANNA DIE?!) Depressed. Sometimes I do, but... I have people to fight for, so I won't die, unless it's to save someone else! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart to Kleriya. |
| “ | Upset. Ethyl, normally I'd do a joke at a time like this, but I just can't... There's nothing to joke about. Because you... were our captain. You deserve all the respect in the world, and it took you dying to finally get it from the public... But you didn't care. Your the best, because you did things because you thought they were right. | „ |
| ~ Nightheart mourning Ethyl. |
| “ | Informative. Also, I've been working on lifelike simulations. I think it would be useful for training! I'm also thinking of ways to recover long lost memories using it. Mark's been helping too, it's basically a joint project! Anyways, come in! | „ |
| ~ Nightheart 10 years later, explaining what he’s been doing. |
