Oc Neo lore(?)/story/origin
So back in his early days, Neo was a petty their who was able to lie his way out of situations and squirm his way into fancy parties. As he grew older, he slowly began picking up the art of "fortune telling" and persuasion. He had learned how to analyze a situation and predict the outcome, no magic involved. Yet he still used it to gain money. He still went around to fancy meetings, often pitching himself to anyone who would listen. One of the people, however, was a recruiter for the local church, and Neo could tell. But, being the sinner he is, he lied and put on the mask of a sage to the recruiter, claiming he was a prophet and was sent visions by God. Of course he got roped into the church, and now became their Prophet. He handed out advice, sent people in the wrong direction for fun, but always kept the same professional demeanor infront of the priest. Eventually a poster for recruiting adventurers got posted, and the church started telling Neo to 'help the poor travelers rid the world of sin and be blessed by the knowledge you may provide'. So Neo was back in his element, back on the road, able to worm his way anywhere. But the church needs records of his behavior. He can't be unruly, or else they'll find out he lied and played them, and he'll get executed. So he was free in body, but not to be who he is naturally. Also, the God the church worships notices him. The God thinks this little mortal is amusing, and decides to toy with it for a bit. Neo carries a 'bible' to cast holy spells and whatnot, though he has no magic. The God watches and lends him some powers for short periods of time, finding it hilarious how this non-magical elf is casting actual spells out of a random Bible. Neo starts believing he his a wizard somehow, and the God plays along. There are times he will get a vision, a warning, though he simply chalks it up to weird dreams.
So he started as a performer/rogue, believes he is a wizard, and is actually a cleric
Yes, he is a dnd character
He was first inspired off of Tiresias, but I turned him into a Hermes. So he's both now. He must appear to be a Tiresias to the church, but he is naturally a Hermes
He is SOMEWHAT based off of Nero, and may(probably not) be forced to do some similar things by the church. (By based off of Nero I mean the name and the entertainer aspect)
Aaannd that's it for what I have so far lol. I'm tired and it's late
Also almost done with his main reference sheet
