Button

Button is a non-binary contestant who starts off on Team Support in Eroded. They are a flat sewing button voiced by Michael Harry.

Appearance
Button is a flat, black sewing button with holes on the upper left & bottom right side of their body.

Personality
Button is one of the more quiet characters of Eroded. They don't have a lot of people they feel comfortable around & they're far from vocal about anything. This isn't because of a fear of speaking, more so they don't feel like they have anything to add a lot of the time. But they are very smart, especially when they get a chance to show themselves in an academic setting.

History
Prior to joining Eroded, Button didn't have many people they felt like they could be themselves around. They often felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness, which persisted through their youth & into their teenage years. Button wasn't someone who people knew personally, but they were someone that people knew the name of because of their incredible academic intellect.

Button throughout their years of schooling was one of the smartest individuals in their class. Never failing to achieve honor roll, always on task, even achieving the title of salutatorian in their senior year. This sense of punctuality & preparedness was in part due to their lifelong fascination with reading & books. It seemed everywhere you'd go, Button would have a book in hand. Always reading, always looking for more. Yet even with all of this academic knowledge, there was something Button still lacked. This of course being their relationships, which leads into the reason that Button joined Eroded.

Under the indirect pressure of their peers, Button downloaded a popular social media app early before their graduation. It was mostly something they used to follow their favorite authors, but one day Button decided to genuinely browse their feed. And in that feed, they found a particularly eye-catching advertisement. An advertisement for something called "Eroded," promoting a competition for an almost unbelievable prize. Button figured that at long last, it was time for them to get out there & make actual friends. And Eroded was the chance to do just that.
