BackstoryHailing from a world of super heroes and villains, Nephropidae is the son of the infamous Dr. Calamity.
Born with an unknown debilitating illness, Nephro has lost the functions of his legs and right arm. His father managed to replace these with machinery, 'upgrading' them into weapons. Nephro could care less about his new combat capabilities, and instead pursuing a permanent solution and cure for his illness.
Nearing his breaking point, Nephro received an invite to Crossroads. Unlike most winners, he opted not to use his wish for a cure. He finds magic to be a pathetic and cheap solution to problems.
Instead, he took this opportunity to find other researchers and scientists for formulas and solutions to his illness. Wanting to take this formulaic cure home to aid those who may also be suffering from similar conditions.
In turn, he has offered to provide weapons/tools and technological services to those who request for them.
PersonalityNephro is a fairly serious, no-nonsense teen. Obedient and polite, he is fairly difficult to anger as he hides his frustration well beneath his apathetic scowl. He indulges in conversation only if necessary and is not one for small talk. He is blunt and direct, wanting to get straight to the point. Patrons only come to him for supplies or equipment. There should be no further interest!
However, Nephro will never turn a blind eye to another inventor or scientist. It's one of the few times he is more than eager to keep talking. He'll inquire about their creations and when asked about his own, he is usually willing to present some of his projects and can sometimes get lost in all the technological talk that someone might have to snap him back to reality.
He hardly ever smiles... except when he's around Peollie, or gets flustered when she's brought up in conversation. |
