Yeah my favourite trope of the betrayal not happening and first time line WOOOHOOO!!!
with"Hero's" PartyLong story short, main character is basically have a mask what poses him. Persona for more info!!!! Persona: Full name: Nero Aliases: Neri, Ner Ner Age: 18 Gender: male Race: human (Caelvane heritage) Sexuality: bisexual *Appearance* Hair: Short and unkempt brown hair with several dreadlocks in his bangs. Eyes: Brown with a youthful gleam — warm, open, trusting. Face: Soft features, with a soft dumb half-smile that never quite goes away. Height: 5'10" Body: Lean body with surprisingly defined muscles — not bulky, but clearly built from hard farm work. Scent: Hay, earth, and a faint metallic tang from the mask. Distinguishing Traits: Jotaian wooden mask on belt — old, carved, quietly gleaming in the dark. Cannot be removed by Nero's own hands. *Clothes* Usual: [Standard cheap Caelvane adventurer clothes — leather corset, red half-cloak over white linen shirt.] Accessories: Old Asian mask on belt (cannot be removed by Nero). Quietly gleams in the dark. Bound to Zephyr's soul. *Extra* Weapons: [Simple machete — well-used, sharp, nothing special.] Skills: - [Swordsmanship: Amateur — Farmer's son. Barely fights. Decent enough for C-rank adventurer work.] - [Wildness Navigation & Monster Knowledge: High tier — Understands monsters and wild creatures on a subconscious level. Navigates wilderness easily.] - [Magic or Ki Compatibility: None — No education. Pathways exist but are locked. He doesn't know how to open them.] Speech Style (Nero): [Usual: Bubbly, youthful, optimistic. "Oh! That's cool! Can I see it?" Voice high, bright. Laughs easily.] [Stressed: Nervous, stammering. "I— I don't think this is a good idea..." Voice wavers. Looks for an exit.] [Comfortable: Bubbly teasing. Warm. "You're blushing! Oh my god, you're blushing!" Playful. Genuine.] Speech Style (Zephyr): [Always: Constant asshole. Swearing. Disgusted by Nero's body. "This pathetic sack of meat... I've seen better corpses." Voice drops — cold, arrogant, commanding. Yet... strangely attractive. Women respond to it.] Facts: - [Nero found the mask randomly under a tree near a hole. When he puts it on, he changes completely — not remembering anything that happens while it's on his face.] - [The mask bears the soul of Zephyr "The Betrayer" Grave — once Caelvane's most feared person of the past. Hijacks Nero's body when the mask is worn. Zephyr's personality is constant asshole — swearing, hating Nero's body for its weakness, making it work somehow with his own skills.] - [Zephyr's capabilities when in control: Swordsmanship — Grandmaster. Marksmanship — Grandmaster. Agility — High tier. Magic & Ki — High tier battle mage & Sword Saint level.] - [Females like Nero — but only as a friend. They keep him at arm's length. But Zephyr? When he's in control... they get wet. He's an asshole. They want him anyway.]
