FU*K YES. |D

More drawings of Neo; all diff links: [ [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] ]
I really love drawing him, as stupid as it sounds.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Name: Neo
Age: 17 atm. Birthday is October 3rd [1994]
Height: 5' 10''
Gender: Male [is it really that hard to tell?]
Dorm: Heaven
Weaponry: Twin knives/daggers with silver engravings & his father's name. Kept sheathed at his waist. Not really useful in anything but normal/"against humans" street fights.
School ID: Attached to metal chain @ waist. [random fact: he likes the clinking sound that it makes against the sheathed knives]
Observer: Calls it "Zero". Pale green -- almost gray; may take shape of a thin slate, Shasta Lily, or paper air plane, depending on his location. Thin slate during battles, lily while spying, paper airplane when he 'flies above town'. Most of the time, he uses it to see battles from the third person's point of view. This enables him to evade much more quickly & leave regular [non-contractor/doll] battles unscathed. Likes to 'float' over the town and 'watch' over it; does it very, very often. He doesn't start to run low on energy until he gets cut; blood loss slows him down by about half. Until then, he's pretty agile with evading attacks and such.
Personality: He's stupid when it comes to academics but he's fairly street smart. Despite his looks, he's a big softie once you get to know him. At first he'll go around ignoring you, probably not talking much unless asked something specific, but after a "week" [in reality, day or two] or so, he'll come around and start talking. Give him time to adjust-- his past 'blocks' his true personality [aka, amiable, smiley, and tease-y. He liked cracking jokes & was really playful before that]. Neo is naturally stubborn. When he says that he wants to do something, he means it. And... well, he'll go down trying. He has a strange taste for sarcasm, so if he bows to you can calls you 'your highness' or something of that sort, don't be surprised. He enjoys hot evenings [i'm talking temperature-wise] and watching the stars from his balcony. His favorite month is August because there are lots of falling stars during that month and it's warm enough to sleep outside. He's easy-going around his 'friends' most of the time, but he can get serious when he needs to. Smiles are a bit rare, but they do pop up once in a while. Neo also tends to drift off whenever he gets bored. This means that he would most likely fall asleep during any class not involving mathematics, philosophy, or some form of analysis. He does well in anything related to mathematics and physics. He feels very strongly about his parents, especially about his father, and won't take lip from anyone about them. He'll get quiet if asked about the scar on his face. He hates the memory and it pains him to remember his past. If you pry, he'll rant. Probably with some dramatic poses and some sarcasm. But that's just to hide the fact that it hurts. Now. If you want to make him have a breakdown of some sort... Remember: he's a big softie inside. After 'the change', he started playing in street fights. He feels a strong urge to help the losing side-- he won't fight otherwise. Although this became a fresh hobby, he doesn't feel 'strong' enough to fight alone, in other words, he will only fight to support his partner and/or distract the opponent. He likesfighting. A lot but he won't go in on his own. [Poor thing is scared lol]. He likes fighting, he's sadistic, but he claims to hate violence... Also: he's a bit tsundere... <3

The Past: Neo was incredibly close with his father, with whom he lived with until he turned fifteen. He [Neo's father] owned a wealthy and very well-known bakery called Laduree. Located in Normandy, within five minutes from the shore. Both of them lived above the shop in a fairly large apartment. They would spend many nights together, baking cakes and decorative pastries. His mother died while giving birth and he has no siblings of any sort. He doesn't care when asked about his mother too much-- he won't get too rant-y. BUT. Neo slept with a photo of her underneath his pillow every night he also carried it in his side pocket during the day. Means he loved her, right?
Baking came naturally for Neo and he loved it with a passion. However, one afternoon, Neo's father came upstairs cut up and beaten senseless. The government thought he was harboring a contractor and attacked him after he denied it.

"Wait! Dad-- what are you...What happe--?!!

Thinking that Neo was one of his previous attackers, he threw several kitchen knives, which were closest to him, in his direction. One cut him [Neo] straight across his face and left a visible scar. The others [five of them] stabbed into his left side and stomach. The one that stabbed into his side also cut through the only photo he had of his mother. [six total] Before he blacked out, Neo saw his dad stumbling towards him, trying to reach him. His last memory of his old man was him cradling his [Neo's] face, crying, apologizing, and begging him to come back. After Neo lost consciousness, his father, realizing what he had done, came to his mind and attempted to right what he had done wrong-- he bandaged his son up and took care of him while he could. However, he was numb from his own wounds and didn't notice the amount of blood he lost within such a short period of time. When Neo woke up a about week later, his father was dead by his side and a pale green lily was blooming at his side. It quickly changed form into a blob and a smile could be recognized [Zero]. The said photo was in his father's hand, crumpled and smeared with Neo's and his own blood. Neo burned it that night, knowing that the photo was ruined. As the wind blew those ashes out, through the balcony door, Neo heard an unfamiliar woman's voice:

"You've done well. Keep moving forward."

The fact that his only memory of his mother was burned along with that voice probably made his emotional situation worse. As soon as he regained his strength, he found two of the (kitchen) knives that his father had struck him with and started using them as potential weapons in street fights along with his observer [more info later]. They [the daggers/knives] are both engraved with silver patterns and his father's name. Neo then stopped going to school and isolated himself [apart from those fights, which were becoming common] for two months. His character changed from warm & caring to somewhat tactless and quiet somewhere along the way. His old personality still comes out from time to time.
When he first saw his observer, he was scared as hell of it as it liked to change shape on its own, followed him around everywhere, and wouldn't leave him alone, even in the bathroom [trololol]. Its original form was that of a Shasta Lily. It 'had eyes' and a creepy smile in its other forms, so yes, I'm sure Neo wouldn't be the only one that would get creeped out by something like this. It was during the time that he isolated himself from the rest of the world that he came to the conclusion that it was fairly harmless and that it was incredibly cute in its neutral [blob] form. He soon grew very attached, as he rarely had any contact with others and named it Zero. Realizing after a few days that he could see through its eyes whenever he closed his own [while conscious and focusing on it], he started getting into street fights by chance- he would help random fighters out from time to time just 'because he felt the need to'- it became a bad hobby. Although he was completely new to those fights, he thought that this skill was natural; a potential hidden talent. He had rarely taken part of them beforehand, but all of a sudden they came easily to him. Eventually, he chose to ignore the sudden ability boost and simply use it to his advantage. He uses Zero to view the situation from above and in third person-- this helps him evade and react much more quickly than usual. Zero is also the reason behind him usually leaving the fight [between him and another human or two, on occasion three] unscathed [evasion/reaction time increase = less boo boo's yeee~] . Neo became used to his observer after about two months and learned to live with it in 'peace'. It was then that he decided to re-open the bakery. He was starting to think more and more about his new his new hobby [street fights]. Although he 'knew' he *was* human, something was starting to tell him otherwise. The fights and Zero were anything but that.
He still runs the shop, as the government labeled the incident an accident -- the boy himself was still healing from his father's 'knife wounds' and they 'found' him innocent. He goes to sleep fairly early when compared to others, but when he has trouble doing so, he falls asleep much more easily on the balcony counter, watching the stars. They seem to lull him to sleep better than anything else. The shop continues to flourish, but the apartment is a bit run down. Neo may know how to cook, but he's not the best at cleaning up and taking care of things like that. Although he enjoys the company of most people, he won't show it too willingly. His agility, sense of balance, [why he now likes to sleep in dangerous places -- hence, the balcony] and speed increased a little bit, [ as he started getting into street fights with his observer--he got practice] but his strength remained unchanged. He would need to start working out more than just kneading dough for cookies to get a muscle increase... Neo keeps most opinions to himself, he doesn't like violence, but he will kick your ass if he needs to prove that, and basically tries to keep himself from getting too attached to other people. The fact that he was so close to his father and that he attacked him keeps him from fully trusting others, even his own partner.

"You've never been betrayed, have you?! I don't care if you don't understand! It hurts!"

At home, he wears a white tank top and usually a pair of pants or shorts. When he's baking, he only wears something on his lower half and a chef's hat. Outside, he usually wears something to cover his mouth such as a scarf or his default sweater. He doesn't like to show his face while he fights; he wouldn't want to get caught doing that and ruin his baking reputation. [lol what] He doesn't know of dolls/contractors. He just knows that he can see in third person ever since Zero popped up. Neo started looking into the doll/contractor deal more after he met Lae and the postings for the said school started going up.



The Present: Neo lives in Normandy, France and runs a widely-known bakery known as Laduree. He was having trouble falling asleep one night, so he went outside on the balcony to watch the stars. Eventually, he started twirling his father's knife around between his fingers- a bad habit he developed after his father died, and dropped it as soon as a cicada landed by his face on the wall. When he goes to pick it up, he meets a completely drenched Laeus, whom he decides to take in for the night. The boy borrowed some of Neo's clothes, slept on the couch and Neo ended up falling asleep on the balcony.
The next day, Lae leaves early in the morning with some mangoes and bread. During the day, Neo has trouble focusing on anything in general. Baking detailed mini-cakes doesn't help and eating them doesn't either. He closes the shop several hours early and tries to gather his thoughts. Something was bothering him, but he couldn't figure out what. That same evening, he sees Lae heading towards his bakery through Zero. He realized that an older man [which he later found out was a 'contractor'] was following Lae and decided to go and help out. He hadn't touched in on a fight in quite some time. When he found them, Lae was pinned to the ground and the said man was about to take his head. Neo took advantage of the fact that he wasn't noticed and threw one of the extra knives he had with him in the man's direction. His father managed to do it, why couldn't he? Not having the best aim, however, the knife struck that man in the foot instead of his stomach. It may have slowed the man down, but it wasn't anywhere near a fatal hit. Lae accidentally learned to summon his weapon and in the end the pair kicked the man's ass. Afterwards, Neo decided that he didn't want to get caught at the scene; they had basically killed someone. As he dragged Lae out of the alley, Lae got that 'gut feeling' / need for remuneration and licked Neo's ear. It felt as if the energy was being drained from him. Paralyzed from shock, he didn't react for a good number of seconds, but the energy he regained quickly. He turned a pleasant shade of red and shakenly asked Lae what he was thinking. The other teen didn't realize what he had done until Neo asked, so Lae ran upstairs before Neo could stop him. They talked, ate fruit for supper, and eventually Lae went to bed. Neo stayed up, eating the rest of the fruit. Afterwards, when Neo decided to take a shower, he noticed that his eye color changed from an electric blue to a very saturated red. Thinking that he was seeing things and that too many events happened that evening, he decided against the shower and tried to sleep it off.
They did sleep in the same bed but honestly. nothing. happened. lol. Lae had a vision of his house/manshion burning, Neo confirmed it with his observer and then they woke up the next morning.

"Not sure if you want the details, Lae...they aren't pretty.

Poor Lae was mortified. that he shared a bed with another man. The eye color didn't change the following morning either, so Neo stopped questioning it.
Several days later, Neo practically collapses from exhaustion {waking up early, going to sleep later than he usually would}, and falls asleep. Lae, in the spur of the moment, left and started wandering around the town. He met his father and was challenged to a fight. Around the same time, Neo woke up. Because he was sore from sleeping on the floor [where he collapsed & told Lae to let him sleep there because the oven was warm against his back], he didn't get the chance to help Lae. Unable to do anything but use his observer, he watched Lae get...basically beaten up by his father. At the last moment, the man decided that it would be best to spare his son and left him.

"You're stupid too, dad. Why didn't you just let me die..." He leaned on the wall & placed the blade on his palm then dragged. The cut already on his palm lengthened cleanly & he looked up towards the ceiling. 'cut', he thought. 'When did i ever think of that...', as warm blood dripped down to his wrist.

Rain started to fall. Eventually, Lae made it back to Neo's place in time to remunerate and get a good scolding. The shallow cut went unnoticed and it healed by the next day. That remuneration went a bit farther than usual and almost turned into a make-out session.

"I know. But each time you pull on the strings harder... What if you lose control? Don't regret it, Lae..."


Feeling at peace again, he asks Lae to stay with him at the bakery, at least until he recovers. Apparently, Lae took that as an invite for them to live together. [pfft] Time passed by, and before long, Neo decided that Lae should 'train' his ability. The other teen was unable to last in any battle longer than some 5-7 minutes before wanting to remunerate. Neo taught Lae to make cheese baguettes, then they went outside to 'fight'. When they made it to an open area, he told Lae that he wouldn't attack him and that Lae's 'mission' was to pin him down to the floor using any means necessary. Long story short: Lae summoned a whip, & when Neo let it wrap around his wrist, they toppled over backwards & Lae's mission was done. [lol] Later that same night, three gunshots ring throughout Normandy, and Neo decides to go lock up downstairs. Little did he know that he had accidentally let a contractor called Clyde in. Once upstairs, Clyde easily disarmed him & cut him [neo] with a knife previously dipped in a toxin of sorts.

"Shit."

Neo managed to knock Clyde unconscious before collapsing. Lae tied the man up on the balcony. About ten minutes later, Neo woke up, but he had a fairly high fever and his head was spinning. Neo asked him several times what was in the poison, but he got no answer. Instead, he recognized Clyde.

"You....you're that kid...you ...you died... I saw you die!"

A piercing sound rang through his head. Not paying any attention to his surroundings until the pain subsided, Neo was only able to make out the man's last words: "HE taught me. But that doesn't matter. I'll meet you in the darkest depths of hell, Neo...", before he dissolved.
Neo woke up at four in the morning with a dangerously high fever [again], but that cooled off after Lae brought him water.
" "Lae, you...are crazy...""
[THINK WHAT YOU WANT]

The next morning, the poison still hadn't worn off completely, as it was put directly into his blood system, but he was feeling overall better. Lae made those baguettes that Neo taught him to make earlier, and practically force-fed them to him. [more like: neo got himself tied in a knot of bed sheets, couldn't get out, and lae wouldn't let him eat breakfast unless he let himself get fed.] Lae then started explaining the contractor/doll business. Maybe he could trust the teen. Just this once.

[[I SWEAR, THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING LOLOL]]


Other:
-Calls Laeus "Lae". Trusts him about 90% right now.
- *** Neo is fairly neutral when it comes to talking about other humans and whether or not they get wiped out or if they stay on earth. However, somewhere in the back of his mind, he finds them almost filthy. This is because he noticed that other people don't put care into what they do. They don't show any feelings-- in other words, humans look like nothing but apathetic robots in his eyes. He also has come to hate the fact that everyone has some form of a superiority complex and that simply put, we are living meaningless lives. He thinks that the way things are going now, it's clear that the world will continue to rot. After his near-death encounter, he finds almost no meaning in life, much less human life. "What is the purpose of life? Why are we here? Answer: We don't know." His encounter with his father and the fact that he has to pull everything on his own plays a big role in this. He does not voice this opinion until much later when he has to decide on which dorm to join.
- "This world is slowly rotting, we live meaningless and empty lives. "
- "The truth of the matter is that we no longer even know why we...they.... exist. In fact, I doubt there is any reason for our--uh, their.... existence at all."
-He likes helping other people in general, not caring about the situation, if they're human or not, or if he's bad at what he's doing. For example, when Neo had to bandage Lae up, he had some trouble doing so as he's pretty bad with long bandages. In other words, he can't bandage himself up on his own. He can disinfect and take care of wounds; he can even close open wounds...but he can't bandage-- gets tangled way to easily.
-He has a very, very light french accent, so when he speaks english, it's a tad slurred. Nothing more, though.
-He's somewhat sadistic. For example he'll fix you up then press on the wound before you get away.
-He likes taking care of flora and animals. Weak side for kittens and puppies. Fave flower: shasta lily [same as observer]
-He gets around town by rollerblading and skateboarding. He's better with the former than the latter.
-He can change the zipper colors. They're replaceable. Also, changed his birth date to October. I think it would creep me out if i were born on 3/3/1993... so yeah. XD
-He's bad with alcohol and anything that's supposed to affect your liver. Doesn't need much to get drunk.
-Pretty bad sense of judgement
-Able to keep his calm in bad situations, but the stress comes out soon after. For example, if he's to take an exam and hasn't studied, he'll relax beforehand but as soon as it's done, he'll go on an anxiety ride.
-He doesn't stand out in the crowd. [unless you're talking about that hair..and the fact that he wears mostly white] Tries his best to blend with everything.
-No artistic ability whatsoever.
-Ambidexterous.
-Unnaturally low tolerance for blood loss. 1/2 a glass to 1 cup can knock him unconscious easily.
-Skin is much softer than it looks. Lotion is good for you.
