could you tell us more about cassiel and where he's from?

hehe gladly!!

cassiel lives in the year 2099 in Neo Theseus, which is a project belonging to my friend @peachdelta! he's making a wiki for it that i'll link when it's done lol. cassiel is the head of the Atropos family, which... really just consists of him by himself. it's one of the governing bodies of neo theseus. he's not literally an angel; he just has heavy tech mods that are styled similarly to his father's.

speaking of cassiel's father, cas is a slightly botched clone of his parent, dove. dove was not a particularly present father, leaving most of cassiel's care in the hands of autogears - robots without free will or personality profiles. cassiel would have ended up much differently if it weren't for the influence of his bodyguard, semaphore. going against dove's wishes, semaphore taught cassiel how to be human, despite not being human themself. it's entirely thanks to them that cassiel has any distinction between right and wrong, developing a gentle and timid personality - with just a streak of mischievousness.

(art + semaphore belong to @enamega!! they are sooo brothers...)

about a decade ago, dove was assassinated. as dictated in his will, cassiel immediately underwent an invasive surgery to replace half of his face with wiring that would connect to dove's old mask. when the mask is affixed to cassiel's face, an AI built in dove's likeness speaks to him, dictating his decisions in regards to the atropos senate. so, basically, cassiel is nothing but a figurehead as his father continues to govern.

neo theseus is a multimedia project, delta and i have done some work on games in the universe n stuff so im hoping we'll be able to share more in time!! :3
