Story[edit]
The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Two[edit]
Early Life[edit]
Byetts was born to Latries and Shep as "Jane." The three of them lived with the Lavasteam Royal Family for most of their lives, and eventually, Byetts comes out as trans, changing his name. Latries refuses to acknowledge this, and she tries to admit Byetts to Ex-Isle, although Queen Letit stops this from going through. Some time later, Letit is killed by lead poisoning, and Latries frames Byetts for the crime, forcing him into a life on Ex-Isle.
Before Wilfre[edit]
During his time on the island, he is bullied by some of the other exiles and the guards, and he decides to escape. During his escape, he is found by Kacha, a guard on the island, and she helps him climb over a wall. However, the two of them are stopped by Terra, and Byetts is forced to stay on the island. This event pushes Kacha into exile, and Byetts lets her into his circle with Robigo.
Some time later, the three of them are exploring the lower levels of the island before breakfast, when suddenly, they find two Raposa, Oma and Ocean, cowering in fear surrounded by their belongings. Byetts asks how they got on the island, since no ships had docked that day. Hearing the noise, Elodie comes down to the five of them, bringing them all to breakfast. Upstairs, the group of five Raposa eat last due to them being late. Byetts and Robigo discuss some of the things going on in Lavasteam, and Byetts brings up that Key is building a Giant Robosa. The two discuss the royal family, and they listen as Kacha explains how she was exiled.
Salem's Attack[edit]
One week later, Ocean and Byetts give Oma a portrait of the three of them, along with Robigo, Kacha, and a creature later revealed to be Fext. Shortly after, Kacha runs up to the group with news about Miney's new advisor - Salem, calling him weird looking, but she runs off as Elodie and another guard, Mog, chase her down. Byetts explains the recent history of Lavasteam to Oma and Ocean, but Ocean gets distracted by Robigo, leaving the conversation. Byetts and Oma catch the tail end of Robigo's story of exile, and the group then discusses why Wilfre might be draining the Color from the realm.
The next week, Byetts witnesses a new exile, Colepere, snap at Robigo after she pokes fun at him. Before he can do anything however, Salem appears in the mess hall and announces that he would be conducting interviews with some of the exiles throughout the day. Byetts sits down for breakfast, where he hears about Salem's actions in Watersong from Colepere. After Robigo is called for her interview, Oma says that she should be leaving for yoga with some other exiles, and Byetts is happy that the two are adjusting well to the island.
Later that night, Kacha asks Elodie if she knew where Robigo had gone after the interview, so Elodie, Kacha, Byetts, Oma, and Colepere all search for her. They eventually find her in her room being attacked by Salem. They listen in as Salem reveals himself as Wilfre and kidnaps Robigo. The group goes into her room after she is gone, and they discuss how to proceed if Salem returns, with Byetts saying that if Salem only wanted Robigo, then the group would be safe for the time being.
Wilfre's Attack[edit]
A week later, Byetts is upset that Oma and Ocean may be leaving with Galileo, but is intrigued by the mention of Heather's Pendant. He begins to explain what Shadite is to the group, and after some pushing from Ocean, he tells the group how he was exiled in the first place. Immediately after his story however, the mess hall is swarmed by Wilfre and his Ameba. Kacha, Elodie, and Terra, along with Mog, all run into the mess hall and tell everyone to get down. He hides behind a tipped over table with other exiles and some guards, but when Oma and Ocean are kidnapped by Wilfre, he jumps out and begins to fight the Ameba. He is given a spear by Terra, and a battle ensues.
When Wilfre drains the color from the island, Byetts is petrified, but the Creator quickly restores him, destroying the Ameba in the process. While Byetts finds his bearings, Brûlées stages a rally against the guards. Colepere eventually stops the rally and helps the exiles and guards negotiate better terms for their treatment. He eventually leaves the island with Oma, Ocean, Galileo, Eeny, Puck, Kacha, Colepere, and Elodie on Baki Beard's Revenge, mere seconds before Allight enthralls the Raposa on the island.
The Lavasteam Chronicles Part Three[edit]
Witnessing Allight[edit]
One year later, Byetts, Colepere, Kacha, and Elodie all travel to Rapoville to have dinner with Galileo, Oma, and Ocean. However, at the dinner, Byetts witnesses Ocean being called by Fext and Allight, almost possessing her. Byetts helps her come to but stands back to let Elodie and Dr. Cure help her, theorizing that Allight was somehow behind it. Byetts later spends the rest of his night explaining the mythology of the Raposa realm to Kacha and Elodie, which would make him exhausted for the sail back to Watersong the next day.
During the trip back, Byetts takes a nap in the sun, but somehow wakes up in the shade when the ship docks at Watersong. He slowly walks off the ship, running into Harsonist, Doria, and Flame, who all should have been stuck on Ex-Isle. He gets concerned at their uncharacteristically happy attitudes and tries to leave, but he's grabbed by Kacha and Elodie, who were also surprisingly happy. Allight reveals herself to him, and Byetts calls her out for Ocean before being enthralled.
Enthralled[edit]
While enthralled, Byetts stayed in Watersong with his friends, informing Allight that there was a seperate port in the rooftops district. After this, he and Fext would have a conversation, catching each other up on the past year. Eventually, after Ocean and Harsonist are freed from Allight's control thanks to Fext, the two Raposa free all the Watersong residents from Allight's control, including Byetts. Byetts would then sail to Lavasteam with Rose's army and help fight Allight's thralls in the battle of Lavasteam. After the fight, Byetts watches as Terra is discharged from the royal guard and sent to Ex-Isle as an exile.
