Nom De Plumes:

Aloe - widely known/used. Given upon joining Acidia and generally how he introduces himself

Ace - his name prior to joining Acidia and considered more like his "personal/true" name. Used by close friends/family and will share it as he grows close to people

Val - deadname. Used only by members of the Cordionna family and renounced prior to joining Acidia. Derived from his assigned flower, Lily of the Valley (Convallaria)

General AU Overview:

Friendly, helpful, neighborly guy running an apothecary/flower shop

Pretty well known for his medicinal/therapeutic blends and healing abilities

Frequent-flyer at a bunch of local businesses/third places

HAS A TWIN BROTHER and thus also hangs around Forge a lot being a nuisance

Secretly also part of a criminal organization, but has gone rogue and is slowly murdering his way through organization leadership and other baddies. Workplace dispute

There's general awareness of a vigilante conducting these murders, but no one is currently aware of the double identity except Frost

Player Comfort Notes

No super lovingly-detailed gore

Brain damage and spinal cord injury related stuff might make me insane so glossing over those if they become relevant topics is preferred

On shipping: AU is relatively easy mode, but canon is the exact opposite and it's possible he'll backflip away as he regains memories. I'm okay playing with this if you are!

backstory

[featherduster]

Per Celi:

THE UNDERGROUND CRIME ORGANIZATION SCENE IS FAIRLY LARGE AND SOMEWHAT DIVERSE BUT TWO SPECIFIC GROUPS ARE THE LARGEST, and although they aren't 100000000% tied to the eight families, it was certainly founded by members of the families.

#1, There's the Cordionna family, named after a poisonous flower that causes a person's legs to crumple up like an accordion which reflects the ruthlessness of said family

Aloe and Eriks were born to parents involved in the Cordionna family, and thus were basically raised in it from day 1

When the twins were 6 years old, their parents were killed by the family for snooping and gaining intel they were not supposed to have. The family obscured the real cause of death from the twins

The family raised them as wards from that point on. Both were given the number designation #0721, the only members to share a number

Aloe was assigned Lily of the Valley (Convallaria) as his flower and was referred to as "Val" within the family. Eriks was assigned Lavender (Lavandula) and went by "Van"

The twins worked for the family into adulthood because that's what you do when you're wards of the crime underground

At 22, Aloe accidentally uncovered the truth of his parents' murder, as well as the information they were killed for -- incriminating info on Cordionna's current leadership

He decides to turn vigilante and use his skills to kill his way through said leadership, because that's what you do when you were raised as a child criminal

ALL SAID, the twins maintained civilian identities and attended school as children. No one knew details of their home life or upbringing

Aloe attended university to study medicine and pharmacology, eventually opening his own apothecary shop (also selling flowers. he likes flowers.)

Sometime during his tenure at university, he was scouted by the Acidia family for his Blessings, and took the name Aloe
