That also sometimes leads him into getting unwillingly dragged into certain problems.

* Childish
* Ambitious
* Clever
* Carefree
* Soft
* Secretive

### Background

Io comes from a large town. He broke rules frequently to the point where he was just a problem to the adults. He was very popular among his peers though. The consequences finally caught up with him when he stumbled into a dangerous situation in some old ruins where he accidentally released a strange magic. He calls it a curse. The fact that he released it got him banished from the town. For the next 2 years he was on the run. While being tracked by hunters trying to kill him, Io was also trying to discover a cure for his curse. So far he has been unsuccessful.

## The Curse

As a kid Io ventured into a forest where he accidentally unlocked an ancient magic. It latched onto him and is slowly taking him over. It hasn’t yet due to the enchanted dreamcatcher he wears. It slows it down but doesn’t stop it. Whatever it is, it can occasionally take control of him. It is not an enjoyable experience and it completely changes him, both appearance and behavior. Io is aware that this happens but from his point of view he just passes out and wakes up somewhere else.

The curse creates a second version of the person infected by it. It’s quieter but also a lot meaner. (still the same person he just wont remember anything) It shares all of their memories however Io only has his own. Its main goal is survival so if Io is harmed or severely in danger it increases the chance that the curse surfaces, only as a method to protect Io since if he were to die the curse would be trapped again, unable to freely roam and affect the rest of the world. At least until it is freed again

## Magic

Io can perform magic through sewing patterns. The patterns come from an old dragon language that he knows a little of. He gets the threads from his enchanted dream catcher. Its thread is infinite and changes color based on what spell he is trying to create. Not only does it supply the thread and protect him from the curse, but he can also use it to cast spells directly. If Io is in danger and doesn’t have time to sew something, he can use the dreamcatcher itself. However, doing this drains his energy greatly for the next couple days, so he only uses it as a last resort.

The kind of spells he can cast are similar to already existing enchantments and potion effects in the game. But he can also combine patterns and spells together to create other simple things
