CHARACTER
☆ Name: Devo
☆ Canon: The Adventure Zone: Ethersea
☆ Age: 23
☆ Canon Point: Episode 20, just before visiting the Coral Spire.
☆ Desire: To be truly fully free of - and safe from - the Benevolent Parish.
☆ Personality: Devo is kind, enthusiastic, emotional, impulsive, and naive. He has very little social experience and often will be too honest or ask questions that are uncomfortable or awkward. Because he has had so little exposure to others, he knows little about different ways of life and perspectives, and despite a fundamental open-mindedness, can come across as insensitive or ignorant. In spite of this, he is enthusiastic to make friends and learn about others, and generally is accepting rather than judgmental. Devo is chatty, generous (emotionally, and with money, to his detriment), and a quick learner.
He isn't without his shortcomings, too. Devo is young and with that comes a degree of arrogance. He is too inclined to want to solve others's problems, rather than merely listen to them. His impulsiveness can land others in trouble, and at times crosses over the edge to recklessness. He has a temper, and particularly when he believes he has been manipulated or wronged, can have a violent streak. His feelings towards the Parish are deeply bitter and resentful, and that can spill over in other situations, too. Devo's powers center around manipulating and terrifying others, and he uses them in combat without hesitation. There is also an emotional fragility to Devo; he is sensitive, in touch with his feelings, and can get overwhelmed by them.
☆ World/History: Devo was raised by the Benevolent Parish, cloistered and kept from anyone apart from its Benefactors for the first 23 years of his life. He was taught by them, trained to use magic, and kept separate from all other influences. Devo was being groomed by the Hand of Guidance to be a 'figurehead' for the parish, until he heard Brother Seldom's broadcasts and broke free.
