Foxite is a “crystalline byproduct” of IO Fox’s VDMH-1 fusion research — “a glassy, pink-tinted crystalline scale” that forms on cooler reactor hardware after extended duty cycles. IO first harvested and archived it as an unknown byproduct before identifying it as Foxite.
Because the solid crystals “refract light unpredictably,” IO dissolves them into a clear Foxite solution to study their luminescence. Foxite emits a faint pink glow that intensifies with motion, heart rate, and singing — it responds to bioelectric fields. Under a microscope, “faint hexagonal lattices of light” form in the glowing solution during controlled movement.
Etched with hexagonal channels (see Varyolithography), Foxite can channel Varyon predictably — the basis of the VARYON Dumbbells and PWRBND. Direct Foxite exposure is also what transforms IO into a living Varyon conduit during The June Incident.
