Conatus/Nereid

Nereid is a character in Conatus, as well as the first character developed by .kursickness. They are the 12th DLC character, as well as the 22nd character in Conatus overall.
== Background ==
Some time in 1960, while the USSR was at its height, in North Korea, an expiriment of time travel was tested on a robot, named Nereid. The time travel expiriment failed, and Nereid ended up somewhere in the Grimnore. Hence, this.
== Appearance ==
Nereid is a small, orb-shaped robot with two hands that it uses to walk around. It is mostly black, with the exception of the North Korean flag being on its underside. it has two circular eyes and a cylindrical mouth that is mounted above its head.
== Personality ==
Being a robot, Nereid does not have many feelings, leading to it being rather unfeeling. Over the years, the robot has forgotten its purpose and how it ended up in the Grimnore. However, one thing that hasn't faded yet is its Communist spirit; it wishes to spread the concept of Marxism-Leninism around the Grimnore, as well as any...strange ideals that may come with it.
== Gameplay ==
As a robot of North Korean creation, Nereid is centred towards provoking enemies and then turning tail when they fight back. Nereid has very slow movement, being old and one of the first robots. However, to back it up, it can deal heavy damage on foes in short time.
