Alternia, beforus, or AU? Same as Krya.
Name: Nero Sergei
Nero as in the roman emperor and Sergei from the classical composer
I always feel a little weird using six letter surnames for the kids since Egbert and Harley are outliers, and Sergei is more a first name than a surname, so how about… Rachman instead? Nero Rachman could work.
Or you could use some old Roman composer names, like Allegri, Soriano, Stabile… Any of the above will work!
Age: 16
Strife specibus: He uses a replica morning star
Fetch modus: He has to input the date the item was discovered/made to acquire it.
That’s clever!
Symbol + meaning: it’s the ‘kilroy was here’ tag that appeared a lot in WWII
HHM. That’s an interesting symbol for sure! The symbol also came up previously in WWI, neat human trends.
Discord: teutonic-night
Quirk: he uses pretty good punctuation and grammar but it tends to become pretty bad when he’s excited. He also has the tendency to jokingly use ‘Ye Olde English’ from time to time.
Since his themes seem to largely lean on Roman/Emperors/Etc. with little touches of middle ages and 1940s, you should also have him sprinkle in some archaic slang and some Latin Proverbs.
Guardian: He lives with his aunt but she’s a very busy business woman so she’s not around much.
I feel like given that he’s named Nero, you Have to bring in an Agrippina Minor and Emperor Nero dynamic here. Which is to say very controlling and dominating maternal figure.
Personality: A pretty laid back dude who tends to be a little exposition-heavy when he talks about his interests. He’s extremely fond of ancient and medieval history and is fairly tech-savvy. I’d describe his way of explaining history as a mix between Drunk History and a sleep-deprived college student’s essay. He makes a hobby of making remixes of classical music and composes some classical-type pieces of his own. He’s a generally cheerful person but can be a bit overbearing and pushes his interests onto people without realising it. He has a bit of a hard time making friends because of this but will listen if you tell him to stop. He’s also pretty involved in his friend’s interests and likes to try them out for himself for a short while.
I like that a lot!
Interests: composing, old religion, eurobeat, remixing, the roman empire, holy rome, old wars, ancient history.
Title: considering he’s the last kid left he’s gonna have to be a time aspect but there’s a few titles that I think suit him.
Time definitely suits him! Especially if you think about putting in that controlling parent vibe, because then you could play with him trying to fight back instead of passively accepting things.
I thiiink Mage of Time is probably what’s going to end up working best for him. Though teaching him to be a little more selfish with Thief of Time could end up being fun.
Land: Land of Emperors and Loss
I think this might be a little too blatant and I want to recommend… the Land of Gold and Clay. Which is, of course, a reference to Daniel 2, where Daniel interprets a dream about a statue with a head of gold, a torso of silver, legs of copper, and feet of iron and clay, and how it represents 4 successive kingdoms. Your planet’s quest could involve the repeated collapse and rebuilding of empires and dear Nero has to step in to save the consorts.
Dream planet: prospit
Design time:
Just a few quality of life edits here! I made the hair lines a little thicker to make them read better, moved facebits around for proportion correction, fixed up the shoe outlines, and then made kilroy a bit bigger and gave him outlines and white highlights to fit the usual kiddo sprite style!
