## Personality

Life isn’t something to take too seriously, it’s just something to experience. Ulex acts first and thinks about consequences later, if at all. The past is the past, and there's no point worrying about the future until it comes. That's what they say, but they still keep a secret karma tally to justify their actions (or lack thereof) and stay on the "right" path.

They roll with the punches as best as they can. They're quick to set their sights on helping others, even to their own detriment. If they don't know what to do, they sit back and stay quiet. The rest of the time, they leap into action before they've even decided what said action should be.

Ulex likes to pretend they're the hero of their own RPG, stopping to complete every sidequest and lend a hand. Or maybe they're just an NPC.

Either way, they like to stay on the move. They're perpetually distracted, rarely pausing long enough to let things like hurt and fear catch up to them. Especially not fear.

They love to perform, and they like the attention that comes with it. They'll throw away their dignity, get dramatic in that lighthearted over-the-top sort of way, and play up their own ignorance. Not even they are quite sure where their act ends and Ulex begins.

Still, they like to be someone others can lean on, and they genuinely care for others quite deeply. Deep down, they know they'd be happier if they really let others into their heart, and they can't say all of their actions are selflessly motivated. It would be nice to be someone who deserves to be loved, someday

## Background

One day, a flight attendant took home a baby she found alone in a Canadian airport. The "airport changeling" story fell into obscurity by the time they were three, when they were surrendered into proper foster care. Their only keepsake, a field guide to European wildflowers, inspired them to read and draw.

They were raised on the Internet, a fine substitute for a family as far as they were concerned. Every so often, they got to help an uncle with "work," oblivious to the true nature of his heists.

As a child, they saw little reason to talk, but they liked singing to themself. They'd make up songs about the flowers in their book, scrawling lyrics on every page. As a teen, they discovered metal, and discovered that they really liked screaming. They gathered some friends to form their first band, which eventually gained modest recognition online.

At 18, they were ejected from the Canadian foster system and never looked back, content to couch surf when their band broke up. In an incident Ulex tries their best not to think about, their own actions hurt the person they were closest to. Ulex ghosted. They fell into a depressed daze until they befriended a stray dog in New York. A friend reached out to offer them a place to stay and make music again, and Ulex rediscovered purpose.

The mysterious message in their Bandcamp inbox struck them as an opportunity. They couldn't stay in the States for long, anyway, and nobody would miss them too badly. Seek adventure, meet new people, redeem yourself.
