. .. dtae for cozy caligrapher >:) . .. note: even if I don't win, I still enjoyed drawing this character, the design was interesting to work with . .. Name: Aether (EE-thur) Pronouns: he/they Gender: trans guy Age: late teen to early adulthood Backstory: Aether grew up in a small town hidden deep in the depths of a forest. He took an early interest to writing and calligraphy, and loved writing stories as a child. When they were older, they became a war journalist; travelling to neighboring countries. Their writings were published in the national paper for their home country, making them somewhat famous. One day while taking notes for the war, a grenade went off. leaving them unconscious and wounded for several days. When he awoke, he realized that they had been captured by the enemy. They enemy government forced them to write stories from a biased perspective of their side or otherwise they would kill their family and destroy their hometown. Aether thought that he had no choice, so they journaled for the enemy. When the other countries found out that their writings were for the enemy, they saw them as a traitor and considered them as the enemy as well. When an army from their home country came and invaded where he was staying and took them hostage, they intended on bringing them back to their country. But soldiers from the enemy stopped them. Aether was torn between going home again, where they would likely call them a traitor, or staying with the enemy, alive. They chose to stay with the enemy. He couldn't bare the thought of coming home to their family, but then being rejected as a 'traitor'. . .. ..I came up with that on the spot :'0
