CHARACTER
Name: Verso
Canon: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Blurp:

Mildly spoilery: Mysterious broody sword-man from Fantasy-France who lives in a world shadowed by a massive Eldritch entity that culls part of the entire population year after year. While everyone else in the world deals with the ramifications of a literal countdown timer on their limited lives, Verso is instead, somehow immortal. He comes with a good helping of Immortal Angst and a big brother complex the size of Mars. He can be gruff but is generally friendly, though he's clearly working towards his own goals at all times. Good luck trying to get him to answer any questions about it, though, he'll evade and dodge and lie without any real hesitation. Mostly a guy trying to do the right thing though. Mostly.

Major Spoilers Under Cut No Really Pls
In reality Verso is only the painted shadow of a man who died in a tragic house fire, his entire world a tragic creation in the grief surrounding it. As one of the few people aware of this reality Verso gets to struggle with the ramifications of what this means for Literally Everything For Everyone but also what it means for him and his family to just be be miserble empty shadows of reality, etc. He wants what's best for his family, but that may come at a terrible cost for his entire world: a cost that he's so far decided that he's willing to pay, no matter how terrible of a person it makes him.

I will also note that I've seen most players from CO take characters from Act 2 ish canonpoints, but I'm immensely tempted to take Verso from post endgame because I love pain.

Vessel Type & General ideas:

I'm most looking to explore Verso's Immense Internal Struggle (TM), so I think I'm leaning Offering with Lycan archetype or Token with the Illusionist archetype, there's interesting options in either direction. I'm still feeling out whether I'd be a good fit here (me or my boy specifically), so I'm happy to hear suggestions and things!!
