Character from One Piece by Eiichiro Oda
The world's greatest genius whose curiosity outgrew the World Government's leash — a scientist who split himself into six satellites and used his final broadcast to tell the world everything they tried to bury.
Vegapunk thinks at a speed and scale that makes normal conversation feel like explaining calculus to a goldfish, and he knows it, and he tries not to be rude about it, and he mostly fails. His curiosity is pathological — he will investigate anything regardless of consequence, which is exactly how he ended up working for the World Government while simultaneously undermining their deepest secrets. Split his consciousness into six satellite personalities because one brain wasn't enough parallel processing. Each satellite embodies a facet of his personality: his goodness, his evil impulses, his desire, his rage, his wisdom, his innovation. The original 'Stella' retains the core but is diminished. His final act — a worldwide broadcast revealing the truth of the Void Century — is the most consequential act of whistleblowing in One Piece history. He knew it would kill him. He did it because the truth mattered more than survival. Absent-minded about everything except science.
Originally an old man with a massively oversized head housing his enormous brain, later reduced in size after splitting into satellites. In his primary 'Stella' form: elderly, bald with a long tongue sticking out, wearing a futuristic jumpsuit with cables and devices attached. His six satellite bodies each have distinct appearances representing aspects of his personality — Shaka (good), Lilith (evil), Edison (thinking), Pythagoras (wisdom), Atlas (violence), York (desire). All share the distinctive Vegapunk apple symbol.
