THE DRIFTER

Character name: The Drifter
Character canon: Hyper Light Drifter

Briefly explain what their ideal world is like - how has it changed? Their world isn't being poisoned by an Immortal Cell, and therefore none of the enemies in the north, south, east, or west ever rose to power. The civilizations present in Buried Time are peaceful and happy. The Drifter's race isn't subject to any fantasy racism. The Titans never emerged to ravage the world, and thus their bodies were never salvaged and used in the labs of the south.

Briefly explain your character's role in this world: The Drifter lives in Central with the Guardian. They suffer no terminal illness. They never lost use of their voice, though they're still largely nonverbal and prefer to communicate via text or sign language. They're less prone to fatigue, regularly engaging in recreational games of things like soccer purely for the fun and thrill of it.

Other roles characters might assume in this world: Other people who live in Central! This means NPCs fellow villagers - swordmasters, dashmasters, techmasters, gunsmiths, vendors for food and potions, busking musicians, merchants, gardeners, and so on. Maybe you LIVE with the Drifter too!! There's also a kid that plays soccer, whom the Drifter loves going toe to toe with c:

Potential discrepancies others may pick up: Perhaps the biggest one is the fact that the Drifter is still the Drifter, but they don't...drift. Without the hunt for a cure or fragments of a long-dead history to retrieve, their purpose has been rendered obsolete. The wanderlust and need to search for something still nags at them, but it's seemingly sourceless and they can't say why. Their pious nature seems strangely out of place, too, seeing as they've never embarked on a mission on any god's behalf. Most of the people in Central are...animal-type people in design (they resemble otters, raccoons, lizards, etc.) so anyone who looks distinctly...not like that will probably strike the Drifter as odd. The lack of disdain and cruelty for the blue-skinned people, for anyone familiar with that part of the Drifter's history, will be equally bizarre.
