okay so. Dimitri. theyve been rotating in my head on and off even though im not actively working on their stuff- hes from the same wip as ev, right? the meine one. Dimitri is raised as a sort of living weapon/guard dog for NAIPE (the villain organization thingy that eliah is the boss of), so she starts out as an antagonist who chases off the protagonist, and then eventually turns coat and joins their side. Dimitri is not the only 'guard dog' though, so to speak; Eliah has a protegee, a slightly older guy named Nosac. Nosac's situation is complicated (read: i haven't figured it out yet) but hes sort of... in there willingly? he has a lot more agency and is both a shitty older brother figure to Dimitri and a handler, at times. he looks out for them, trains them, sets an example, all the while both do their jobs of like hunting down children or killing off people who pissed off Eliah in a meeting or just standing behind her and looking menacing and stuff.

Nosac is a much more... powerful? agent than Dimitri is, and she recognizes that. unlike him, this is all it's ever known, and theyre supposed to be good at it. they have some self-worth issues about it and doesnt really help that Nosac's constant criticism of their performance during spars or training and stuff keeps ringing on their head whenever they make a mistake. Dimitri is scarily efficient, especially from the main characters' pov during aforementioned being-hunt-down arc, and its power is nothing short of powerful either. (it's called the copycat :D you can pretty much guess, but it makes her able to just scan and mimic anybody's link in a blink basically.) still, they arent fully wrong when they compare themself to Nosac: he is stronger. When it joins the mc's side, first thing it does is to warn them of him. You thought *i* gave you a tough time? Oh yeah hes 100% gonna kill us all. And I think the main difference is just... Nosac wasn't forced onto this. Sure, he goes through moreso the same ruthless training and stuff, but he both got to sign up to it + probably could arrange to sign off if he wanted (he IS eliah's protegee after all). he wants to be here. he had a choice. Dimitri was forced into this from very early on and theyre constantly under duress. She actually becomes sort of stronger when she's in the recovery era? He takes on ballet maybe and has a support network and friends and more autonomy and freedom and are not being constantly retraumatized and forced into stuff that makes them want to die. Recovery Dimitri 100% can beat NAIPE-era Dimitri, and for the same reason Nosac could beat them back them

Toys

-> Meine actually used to have a doll (she had brown hair) named Rebecca when he was five. His mom gave it to him as a gift after he expressed an interest in "girly" things despite feeling insecure. He loved her a lot. When he moved in with his father, he took her with him. His father eventually got rid of her as a punishment for Meine's misbehaving.

-> Dimitri didn't ever have many toys, actually. However, when she was ten, her master gave her a blue teddy bear as a reward. He called it Lola and still clings to it to this day (<- dangerous living weapon). It's one of the only things that can comfort them.

-> Ceres was surrounded with dolls and stuffed animals growing up. The one she liked the least was herself. She couldn't shake the feeling that she's also just a doll.

-> Alisson hm. Haha. Probably got all of her dolls and childish toys burned or something during puberty. (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

-> Yuri didn't have many of his own—he always borrowed his sibling's when he wanted to hug something to sleep. He didn't need a stuffed animal when he could just steal one from Lotus' or Ryan's bed anyways

Characters: Dimitri

Name: Dimitri. I'm not sure if it has a last name.

Role: (Initially) Minor antagonist. Grows into a main character.

Gender: Who knows? Not her. (Perisex.) They/it/he/she, fine with neopronouns.

Age: Sixteen. Not sure about its birthday.

Family: (Biological family unknown.) Nosac (older sibling figure), Emery (primary parental/mentor figure).

Link: Copycat. (Allows him to copy other people's powers.)

Backstory: They spent their early childhood in an orphanage, before an organization called NAIPE took an interest to them and decided to raise them. Dimitri was groomed to be a living weapon for them and knows no life outside of being loyal to the organization.

Personality: Cautious, loyal, self-doubting, stoic.

Trivia:

Dimitri calls her mentor, Emery, by the title of "Master".

Dimitri can read, but not very well. He is technically literate but isn't the most skilled reader.

Dimitri is, essentially, a guard dog for NAIPE, at least at the start of the story.

Dimitri wears gloves most of the time.

Dimitri has CPTSD.

Dimitri can technically use any power, but this is a secret to those outside the upper circles of NAIPE. He usually takes a water-based link to disguise his true abilty, so most people think his link is just hydrokinesis.

The color they use the most is black.

Dimitri's hair is usually tied into very long box braids, which are a very practical protective hairstyle for her.

Dimitri has an "uniform", that is primarily meant to give them an ominous appearence. It consists of a cap similar to a cop's, a long and bulky black cape and combat boots.

He often wears a shock collar, though not always.

Dimitri is not strange to being shown off in parties.

It really likes ballet. It would like to learn it someday.

Dimitri has a very high pain tolerance.

She has a blue teddy bear called Lola. It was a gift for good behavior when he was younger.

Dimitri is not strange to killing, and although it's not resistant to it, it makes it a bit uncomfortable.

Dimitri's character is meant to contrast with Ceres'.
