**Eurus** is a character featured in the newest Unnamed SMP. He joined during the first hosted opening of the server, and built the Snow Village where the heart of the plot is currently taking place. Eurus lives in a self-built cave in the snow village all alone, and while he still keeps mementos of the snow village, he is considered no longer a citizen due to his absence, and is now neutral.

## **Physiology**

Eurus is a tall young man, coming in at 6 feet 3 inches when standing up straight. He often appears shorter, however, since he has bad posture and tends to be hunched over a lot. He has poofy chocolate brown hair, pale-ish skin, yellow eyes, and (while it is not visible on the minecraft skin) painfully obvious eyebags. He wears a whiteish-cream-colored shirt with puffy sleeves, some sort of lace neck accessory with a brooch, as well as a tan vest and a belt, reflecting a sort of "Light Academia" aesthetic. On his right ear is some kind of long earring with a diamond-shaped gem on it. Eurus is also constantly wrapping himself in the flag of the Snow Village, using it as a makeshift blanket.

## **Personality**

Eurus has clearly lost his mind. He is constantly moving around his abode, toying with random objects, talking to himself, and having conversations with inanimate objects - most notably, his jukebox. He is extremely jumpy and paranoid, displayed by his unshakable fear that an unspecified third party is coming to kill him. Eurus's sense of reality seems to be twisted a bit, as shown by the notes on his wall mentioning that he can't remember which side the sun rises on, how he needs a reminder from HUNK about what the date is, and how he is always freezing despite it being quite warm in his cave. Eurus is also very fragile. When somebody raises their voice at him, threatens him, or he feels he has disappointed someone, he will sob and apologize, begging said person not to hurt him.

Eurus notably goes through a few mood swings during his scarce appearances. When pressed for information, he becomes a bit aggressive and defensive, asking why his assailant is "digging into his business". Sometimes, when he is not feeling threatened, he will transition into a content and bubbly state, where he seems a lot more calm, and even cheerfully trance-like. However, his most common mood is the typical frightened and mentally disturbed persona.

Eurus also seems to have a drinking problem. He is always brewing strength potions (once again, due to being paranoid about someone killing him), and whenever he drinks them, he becomes very bleary and confused, even more than usual. He speaks with a very thick British accent, although, this could be natural, and not an effect of the strength potions. Another thing that is very subtle is his personality before he went crazy. Judging by the first few notes on his wall, Eurus used to be a bit snooty, yet happy, supportive, and creative.

## **Lore**

### Pre-Lore

Eurus resided in the Unnamed Snow Village, back when the giant tree was not destroyed. He was poet and song-writing hobbyist, although not very popular amongst the majority of the townsfolk. Nobody really seemed to like him and his work with the exception of one girl, who was extremely supportive of him. Eventually, the two of them started dating, and Eurus dedicated his life to writing poems and songs for this girl that he loved, knowing that she would always adore them just as she adored him. They were a very healthy couple, and Eurus finally felt motivation course throughout him and his life.

However, once "they" attacked and destroyed the tree, the tree got angry, and dropped the village into an eternal winter. Eurus and his girlfriend didn't realize something was off until the tree got destroyed by the incoming soldiers. The girl believed it was too late for them, but Eurus remained optimistic, assuring his girlfriend that if they turned their backs to the village and ran, they could make it out of the warzone together. Unfortunately, this promise was not kept. While they were fleeing, a sniper pointed at Eurus without him noticing. However, his partner noticed, and she quickly shoved him out of the way. After shaking away the confusion of being handled so roughly by his gentle girlfriend, Eurus noticed the tears in her eyes. She uttered a final goodbye, before the sniper shot her through the head.

Eurus shrieked and cried over his lover's corpse, believing it to be his fault, since he was the one that motivated her to try fleeing the village with him despite the improbability of survival. Now he had lost the only light and joy of his life, and he was most likely next. But he made a vow to himself that he would survive the war for her, so, although with his heart weighing him down immensely, he ran to find a hiding place as the war raged on.

Eurus opted to take cover in a cave until the battling subsided. He ended up staying there longer than he anticipated, so he built himself a small house deep within the cave. He wrote himself small notes and reminders that he hung on the wall in his home, and lived a relatively content and safe life there. After a little while, the tree's magic caused the entrance/exit of Eurus's cave home to ice over. Eurus was too afraid to destroy the ice, as he was scared that this would upset the tree further. It is unsure how long Eurus resided in the cave, but it was definitely long enough for him to go insane from the loneliness and paranoia that "they" would come back and murder him like they did with the other townsfolk that couldn't escape the warzone in time. His notes became more crude, and he started to lose his grip on reality. Eurus grew so delusional to the point that he believed the jukebox in his home contained the spirit of his dead girlfriend.

### Meeting HUNK

After hearing HUNK's aircraft crash near the village, Eurus immediately thought the worst, and started attempting to brew strength potions. However, he forgot the recipe, and mistakenly brewed the wrong type of potion. He grew increasingly desperate and anxious, begging the brewing stand to go faster as if it was a person that could actually listen to him. Even once he brewed 9 potions, he thought it wasn't enough. The strength potions proved not very useful, however. He was so preoccupied with the potions, that he forgot to grab a weapon, leaving himself with only a shield.

Once HUNK actually managed to make his way into Eurus's home, Eurus didn't even realize he was there until HUNK directly addressed him. Eurus slowly turned around, hyperventilating, brought up his shield, and cowered in the corner. He drank a strength potion, not taking his eyes off his intruder. Eurus realizes he doesn't have his sword, and begins to spiral into panic, scouring the entire area to search for it while pathetically pleading HUNK not to harm him. Once HUNK assures him he isn't a threat, Eurus shakily asks HUNK questions about how he got in, if the war was over, and what the date is. HUNK is a bit annoyed and disturbed at Eurus's strange and crazy mannerisms, yet still tries to press him for information. When HUNK asks about the notes plastered all over the walls, Eurus quickly becomes aggressive and drunkenly asks why that's "your [HUNK's] damn business".

HUNK finally leaves after Eurus begins giddily playing with a noteblock, and Eurus is shocked that he escaped the situation alive and unscathed.

### Alone Time

After HUNK leaves, Eurus goes back to brewing strength potions in case HUNK returns with the intent of killing him, since Eurus believes HUNK is one of "them"; the enemies that destroyed the tree during the war. Eurus makes another mistake in the brewing process, and in a fit a wild anger, smashes one of the botched potions on the ground, and begins crying. He suddenly begins to feel very cold, so in order to take his mind off it, he puts the Mellohi music disc into his jukebox. As the song plays, he talks to his jukebox, asking it if they're (unclear if he means HUNK or the enemies that attacked the village) going to come back for his head, to which, of course, the jukebox says nothing. The song seems to make Eurus feel "warmer", at least, until it ends. Once it does, he begins to feel freezing. He tries pressing himself against the glassed-off fire on the floor, but it simply isn't enough for him.

Being "cold" apparently makes Eurus feel weak and vulnerable, so he starts to fall into hysteria and cry. He thinks about leaving his cave now that the ice is destroyed, but he decides against it, believing his home is more safe and secure than the outside. He ends up falling asleep on his jukebox for a little while, until HUNK comes back.

### A Brief Visit

HUNK returns to Eurus's home to ask him if he knows the location of the Enchanted Golden Apple that can supposedly be found on the island. Eurus, a bit drunk and bleary from the strength potions, takes a regular apple from one of his chests and offers it to HUNK. When HUNK refuses it, and restates his goal, Eurus replies that he didn't even know Enchanted Golden Apples existed. Sensing that HUNK is disappointed in his lack of valuable insight, Eurus starts to weep, and quietly apologizes, once again telling HUNK not to hurt him.

HUNK leaves again, and just like the first encounter, Eurus is amazed that he escaped with his life.

## **Trivia**

* Eurus's name is derived from the Greek god of the eastern winds, as well as the god of autumn. It is ironic, since the place he used to call home is currently trapped in winter.
* The base skin used for Eurus is a modified Wilbur Soot skin.
* Eurus is based on a character from one of Detective Crispy's *AI Dungeon* stories. Like Eurus, the character went crazy in a cave, is constantly shivering and complaining about being cold, and even has a heavy British accent like him.
* All of Eurus's weapons and tools are very crudely named to cement his descent into bleak madness, with creative titles such as "pew pew pew" for his crossbow, and "cool spoon" for one of his shovels.
* Eurus is afraid of the dark.
