°✧｡ [AVAN JOGIA, MALE, HE/HIM] IT’S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE EASY JOINED VELIA FROM BOULDER, COLORADO. APPARENTLY THEIR NAME IS HARSHVARDHAN “HARSH” ALBARN AND THEY’RE A MARTIAL ARTIST. THEY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING AS A CIRCUS MEMBER FOR A WHILE NOW. DIDN’T PEOPLE SAY THEY WERE NOT A BETA TESTER? I HEARD THEY TURNED TWENTY-EIGHT THIS YEAR. LET’S HOPE THEY MAKE IT OUT ALIVE.

BEFORE VELIA!
after months of lab tests, PET scans, and being prodded by needles, his oncologist’s pessimistic prognosis of 3 years used to keep him up at night, wondering “why me?” soon enough, he came to find peace with knowing when/how it was going to end.
it was hard being peaceful when his folks were always crying about it and trying to push all these experimental treatments they couldn’t afford onto him. his joke to his girlfriend about bringing a tinder date to his funeral did not go over well.
velia was gifted to easy by his parents to make it easier going through the grueling treatment process. though he really wasn’t interested in video games in the slightest, he didn’t want to turn down the gift, so he decided to use it just once in front of them to appease them on opening day and then give it to some kid in the pediatric ward.
the real last conversation he remembers having in the out there in the world before tapping into the game was him responding to his sister’s “good luck” with “don’t worry, my bad luck’s run out” with a wink.
of course, he didn’t know he’d traumatize his family further by getting stuck in a video game that could kill him before their very eyes.
oops.
AFTER VELIA!
harsh albarn easy knows damn well he’s probably never making it out of this game. and guess what? surprisingly, he’s a-okay with it.
he looks like himself in-game, feels like old self himself in-game. not the lethargic, pained, sick harsh left behind in boulder, colorado.
he was completely okay knowing he had a max of three years and kept tallies of the days on his wall to know when his time was up. the day he got past 1095 tallies, his cackling could be heard throughout the floors.
life’s a comedy, ain’t it?
ABOUT EASY!
literally treats velia as just a game, not this hellhole people are trapped in and are trying to get out of.
eccentric motherfucker. very colorful in his attire but tones it down for guild-related things.
charming as hell but would sell you to satan for a corn chip.
life’s mission is to boop @chxticerebus on the nose.
very hard to tell if he’s a good guy or a bad guy? think of him as a chaotic neutral ok.
you probably shouldn’t 100% trust him. not even the people in his own guild.
he does whatever benefits him at the moment and doesn’t really believe in strict loyalty to things because he’s here for a good time, not a long time, u feel me? keep him at arm's length if you know what’s good for you.
joined circus because they were the most aligned in not giving three shits about getting out of the game. doesn’t always wear his mask unless he means business but always has his circus tattoo covered.
has been hired for contract kills and despite his green cursor, he’s done a couple. his method is to do a kill, hide out and wait it out for a while until he’s back to green. always says “nothing personal!” before he beats you to death.
he’s legit just waiting to die but having a good time in the process because this is the best he’s felt in a long time. he doesn’t fear death and he has nothing to lose, which makes him even more dangerous.
