Project: Dead Deed

 ☆ Brief Story Overview (cringe):

Typically, when evil arises a hero has always been there to defeat it. This has happened time and time again. The beast is slain and the peace is restored. After years of prosperity and progress a new threat seems to be on the horizon. People are getting desperate, time is running out and a new hero doesn’t seem to be arriving anytime soon. Neo, mad scientist and social outcast, realises there's no point waiting for some hero to arrive - so (obviously) they decide to bring back the old one.

Neo believes they're findings and research will prove useful to the King. The now resurrected hero, Aldric, needs to report back to his country and feels a personal sense of duty to help defeat this new and relativly unknown threat. With Neo's research in hand and Aldric's adventuing experience to guide them - they agree to travel to Capital City and request an audience with the King.

nothing is permanent this is all subject to change.

 ☆ NEO:

Personality:They are usually straight to the point and have a kinda snarky, dry humor. People don't usually notice but they are *trying* to be polite. They often lie and deflect when having to be emotionally vulnerable. Maybe a little overconfident in their skill and they have a rigid understanding of right and wrong. They have a tendency to assume a lot about others and are overall untrusting. despite this they are desperate to form meaningful connections with others. Despite being normally outspoken and eccentric they become dry and quiet when a topic is uninteresting to them. They crave validation for their skills and hinge a lot of their self worth on their work. They are a little lonely and while they wouldn’t admit it they work best with others. They are the kinda person that's loud and annoying but thinks everyone else is loud and annoying.

Notes:Gets mistaken as a doctor often. Neo and Aldric lived most of their lives in the same town just hundred odd years apart. IDOLISES Aldric as a concept but struggles to relate to him as a person. They used to wish they were him to an extent. They enjoy annoying Lemmy and they often get into trouble together as they keep trying to one up eachother (in good fun). Doesn't care about others opinions on them (seemingly) and thinks they are above others. They are aware this isnt socially acceptable to say so they wouldn't admit it. Definatly a coping strategy for being overall disliked and having a fear of rejection...lol. Neo believes people only keep others around if they can make use of them. They don't like this but they live by it. They want to be someone important.

 ☆ ALDRIC:

Personality: Aldric is heroic and kind. but he stuggles to think for himself and doesnt stray from what he knows/been told. He doesn’t question authority and decides right from wrong based on what is socially acceptable at any time. He is good at talking to people and appears warm and kind(he is). But he keeps it surface level and doesn’t like others getting into his private life. Despite this he is a good listener and is very intuitive. He can be a little absent minded and a tiny bit easily distracted. He would do everything to save people he cares about and thrives of off being helpful to others. He has a personal interest in marine life and loves warm weather :3

Notes:Prior to his death he would dedicate much of his time and life to his 'destiny' and as a result he now feels like he has no purpose. The only thing he has been good at is fighting (his thoughts) - he places all his self value on being able to help others. His body isn't stable and constantly needs maintainance from Neo. its very common that his limbs may fall off or his torso will tear. This is pretty horrifying for him. He sees his sisters in Lemmy and values his friendship with her. He is easily impressed by magic so that helps. The fact he also failed his one purpose in life is also pretty earth shattering. Hes got a lot going on rn.

 ☆ LEMMY:

Personality:She is someone who likes the idea of being levelheaded and rational (and she is in her own way!!) but due to her age and personality she is easily excited and convinced into goofing off. She can get competitive when it comes to games/challenges. Shes someone who makes plans but rarely follows thru for these reasons. Shes compassionate and a little naive. She has a habit of saying what she thinks when she thinks it- she tries to be polite as she can tho. She is very curious and eager to learn what life outsite her small town is like. She is very interested in going to Capital City. When she makes levelheaded decisions it's a real display of her willpower - it does not come easily to her. She likes meeting new people but tends to struggle talking to people closer to her own age. Very passionate about magic.

Notes:Magic is mostly a lost skill and very few still practice it in any meaningful way (still used in minor ways but not getting into it rn) - she has taken it on herself to find out as much as she can and is mostly self taught. She leaves home to head to a spcific town that is known for its history with witchcraft but ends up tagging along. She strongly believes magic shouldn't be used for violence and tries her best to follow her moral code. Her magic has is often weaker when she is stressed and in high pressure situations. Has a tendency to butt heads with Neo. It's mostly onesided (not hers). She does try extra hard in front of her younger sister as she wants to be a "good rolemodel". She has a strong connection to her family. She was introduced to magic by grandmother and keeps her notes/spellbook of sorts. Since her passing she has stuggled to expand her knowledge due to lack of resourses. Everything she has learnt has been from notes and books her grandmother left behind. She finds her self at odds with her mother a lot. This comes from a good place but they do stuggle to understand eachother - her mother does not believe leaving town (especially to learn more about magic) is safe. She has been encouraging Lemmy to be more involved in their family business to distract her. She has a familiar - it is a currawong named Maisy.
