Neven Auster - Character Reference -- BASICS - He/Him - 12 years old - Gay - 4'10 - British accent - Lightning bolt tama - Winger on the Bards (alongside Apollo) - Has an older sister, Amber, who is 17 years old and plays professional Gorotama. PERSONALITY At first glance, Neven comes off as a friendly, approachable kid determined to play the sport he loves. His ego tends to almost immediately show through comments boasting about himself, taking compliments as though he had been told those things hundreds of times. He's automatically a little flashy to new people, cutting into conversations to brag about himself, but he is purely trying to make himself known to people as someone they should cherish and adore. Once he gets close to someone (which can happen quickly, as he's overall very open and friendly if he clicks with someone), his loyalty to them grows very fast, and he becomes very supportive and happy around them. Though, if someone shows even the slightest bit of doubt of his skill or annoyance at him, he'll launch into an argument. If he feels he is winning an argument, his responses will become more smug and sharp. If he thinks he's losing an argument (or it's been going on for a long time), he'll aim for weak spots of a person, but if that doesn't work, he'll start getting frustrated, and (literal) sparks will fly, possibly ending in him directly hitting someone with his lightning bolt tama. If this happens, he either will or won't feel bad - it depends on how upset with the person he was. If he's really mad, he'll hold a grudge and continuously mock the person and try to make them look bad. He isn't hard to win back over, though - if someone proves they're sorry about an argument/fight he had with them, he'll likely apologize as well. Though likely not as sincerely. He doesn't make as many 'weak' comments since his injury, and is better at asking for help from other people. FUN FACTS - Loves drinks of all kinds - smoothies, iced tea, lemonage - you name it, he'll drink it. - Has an extremely long skin/hair routine. - /Hates/ getting muddy or dirty in general, especially if it's on his hands, hair, or face. - Has lightning bolt earrings, lightning bolts on his gloves, lightning bolts on his shirt, and draws lightning bolts on himself with his body paint. - Cloud earring is from Apollo when they were hanging out in Mestras. - Loves sour things (especially candy), /despises/ spicy things and has an extremely low spice tolerance. - Strict 9:00 PM bedtime. - Biggest pet peeve is when people aren't giving a game their all - he'll likely yell at them and get very upset. - Really likes reading (especially fantasy), and can often be found in the Library or in the dorm hallway reading. - Has a Donkeybug plushie ('Zappy') he got when he was 5 that he still sleeps with. - His parents are artisans who aren't very involved with Gorotama and often busy, leading them to not have much time for Neven and Amber. - Caffeine makes him hyper and his fingers start to spark and if you touch him you get a tiny static electricity shock. - Electrical burn scars on his left arm from a tama incident. (correct me if i got the wrong arm i have 2 braincells guys) RELATIONSHIPS Apollo Solari | Close Friend / Teammate | | "Apollo's the best! We're the Bards' Weather Wingers, which is our definitely official nickname! Also his boyfriend Seln is so cool! Venus Maw | Close Friend | | "I love Venus so much, because not only is she so funny and awesome but she's also dating my sister and has the coolest tama ever! I wish I hadn't yelled at her when she tried to help." Royal Flint | Friend | | "Royal and I started off on the wrong foot but he apologized and we're cool now! Another lemonage buddy, hehe!" Artemis Chen | Acquaintance | | "Seems like a two-faced backstabber. I don't like her much." Tasha Morgan | Enemy / Acquaintance | | "She's kind of a crybaby, and her stupid creepy dog tama is dumb. She totally deserves the insults I give her, calling me 'llama' and all that, but then she breaks down and makes me feel bad about it." Octavia Squidbeak | Acquaintance | | "We sorta turned a corner? I don't mind her that much anymore but I wouldn't call us friends." Aquilla Fianin | Friend(?) | | "She keeps trying to help me...she's not terrible but I can handle myself! She did bring me to the infirmary after my accident, though..."
