## Personality

An escapee from a gladiator group, called "The Black Rose" known for it's terrible practices and awful conditions; and prior had lived there their entire life, they are primed to be cautious, and this makes them cold and impulsive from a first glance but can be loyal and affectionate; to equally as unhealthy degrees. Described as a "Prime example of don't judge a book by it's cover."

Aphelion is antisocial with few friends and attempts to make more often being unfruitful or have malicious reasonings. Despite this they are quite charismatic and even manipulative. They are dedicated and go to great lengths to get what they want.

They have trouble trusting others and accepting kindness and help. They love giving people things and when given something in return, sometimes rush to get a similar item.

## History

### A New Start (Arc 1)

Their first days on the server were spent making friends, most notably Red. They helped Red get drugs from Nuk claiming the drugs were for their dog, and would later buy some for themselves as a coping mechanism. They gave Red a enchanted gold sword renamed "Rose Gold Sword." They later gave Nuk a "Rose Gold Ingot" by placing it in a item frame in front of his door. It is unknown what this means.

### Bonds and Bloodshed (Arc 2)

It is implied in a conversation with Dolos they are from a "dry place" but not specified where. And that "they don't have this much water at home." They went on to for various unknown reasons, kill Dolos, (see List of Canon Deaths for details) taking his first canon life, with Red being an onlooker. They placed a clownfish on the spot Dolos died.

Aphelion was later found in their house by Nuk while they were hallucinating. They explained that they experience "really bad" hallucinations and were offered a bottle of drugs. they accepted it, paying with one diamond. They sat down on their bed and were asked about various things, including symptoms.Soon after, they were offered a job by Nuk, and they accepted. Nuk left and red came over, bumping into and telling him about the drugs Aphelion gave them. Nuk rushed in, threatening them thinking they resold the drugs. Aphelion told him that they were "just a middleman". Nuk left to talk to Ace, with Aphelion eavesdropping through their house's wall. They were later talking to red, and Dolos' death was brought up. They gaslighted Red into thinking his death was "just a bad dream." Nuk went up to them both, telling Ace about how good his "miracle cure" (drugs) was. everyone went home soon thereafter. They went over to Nuk's house and explained they "wanted to talk, get to know him outside of work" and so they had a conversation with Nuk. They explained that they had killed Dolos, and Nuk said he was an obstacle for both of them. They told Nuk that whatever he did to Red had to go through them first. They were told Nuk's origins and disclosed theirs as well, saying that they were from a cult and were in pursuit of immortality. They offered a partnership with Nuk, agreeing that they would "be his errand boy" and stay out of each other's ways. They left Nuk's house and bumped into Ace, who asked if They knew anything about Red's past. They said they didn't other than that her friend, Dolos, "met a unfortunate end at the bad side of a blade." Impling he died. When asked who killed him, they said that they had forgotten who. They also introduced themself. They went to talk to Red, who warned them about the purple flowers she had given them. They were given an orchid and planted that in their garden, replacing the purple allium from Red that was there.
