Character Name: Crito Canon: Original character Canon History: Once upon a time, there was a lonely goddess. She'd lost the love of her life, and found herself alone in an empty world. Seeking a cure for her heartbreak, she began to make a bird out of clay - but she mis-sculpted and made a person instead. She named this person Crito, and she granted them a blessing to traverse the lands between the living and dead. From iron she forged a small railway leading to the other side and gave them a job: bring in wayward souls - ones destined neither for heaven or hell - to this empty world so she wouldn't be lonely anymore.
Crito took this job to heart and became a psychopomp for stray souls, hoping that one day - through their efforts - they would be able to see Mother smile. However, she soon became distant, and they found themselves in the company of only the dead. Where Crito started out passionate and earnest, they soon became more jaded and irreverent once they realised that Mother cared only for the dead - still doing their job, but with the vibe of a burnt out customer service worker.
Canon Personality:
- Crito, only ever socialising with the dead or their Mother, isn't so familiar with interacting with other people and therefore ignores some of the expectations of social conduct; talking over people, being painfully direct at times, acting on first thought/impulse rather than according to etiquette. - They can be flippant and irreverent, generally not showing much respect for most and taking little seriously. - They're dedicated to their duties, however, and take that seriously at least. - They're playful with others and try to find fun where they can - sometimes at other peoples' expense. - Despite everything, they have deep and unshakable loyalty to their Mother. - By way of their upbringing, and having so little meaningful connections with others, they're quite lonely inside. - Easily bored. - Detatched from the living/humanity, and jealous of the dead's favour with Mother.
AU Name: Crito Galanis AU Birthday: 5th April
AU History: - Crito is an orphan, adopted by Eurynome Galanis as an infant. - Eurynome's family line is one well versed with magic, involving themselves in matters of ghosts and echoes and taking care of spirits. - Crito is raised learning magic after discovering they have an aptitude for it. Eurynome raises them to be a "shepherd" for lost souls, guiding echoes and ghosts to rest or keeping them outside of where they can cause harm. Crito does not get much socialisation with anyone else during this time. - At 21, Eurynome leaves Crito with only the request that they continue to carry out this task for her. - Wanting to make her happy even in her absence, Crito devotes themselves entirely to this job. - As a front, however, they sell model trains.
AU Personality Differences: They're less detatched from humanity/the living, now counting themselves as technically part of that number, but they do still see a divide between themselves and most other people. They harbor less jealousy towards others as they are less isolated and there is less favour from their mother towards the dead, but still, they do feel a twinge towards those who don't hang out with dead people constantly. They haven't quite reached the stage of burnout yet, either.
