History

Help I need to Properly write it out...

Notos, once living on the surface of the Overworld, was thrown into the hands of fate one day after an attempt to explore an underwater ravine pulled him under the current, drowning him. However, he awoke to find himself washed up upon the edge of a deep pool far beneath the surface, where the ocean water cascaded down from the high ceilings and the rocks were overgrown with odd plant life. It didn't take him long to come face to face with the ruins' protector; but instead of facing another death, he found the Warden to be oddly tame towards him. Despite his drowned death, he found himself revived via one of the Warden's trapped souls, creating a connection between the two that kept the creature at bay, and at his command.

Now trapped within the Deep Dark without a solid means to escape, he learned to adjust to the environment, memorizing the tunnels and surviving off of the fish living within the deep pools of water. The drowning death somehow managed not to scare him away from water, and he greatly enjoys going swimming in his free time. He's used the ink from glow squids to dye his clothing and hair, causing the dyed parts to glow in the darkness.

Later down the line, he stumbles across Elliott when the latter has to be saved from nearly being mauled by the Warden. Elliott plays on Notos' obliviousness, lack of social interaction, and longing for the surface as a way to use Notos for his own gain, primarily by convincing him to help attack/get rid of Elliott's rival, Ursa. Notos eventually discovers the truth after a harrowing fight between the trio and scares Elliott off via the Warden, before personally speaking to Ursa to hear her side of the story.

He returns to the shared home & base of his childhood friend Flora (who has often acted like a protective older sister figure to him) and brings Ursa along. The three of them quickly make greetings & amends and over time Ursa is pulled into their friend group. Notos, however, never one to give up on other people and truly believing that everyone deserves a second chance, insists on befriending Elliott, much to Ursa and Flora's discomfort. In spite of their concerns, Notos somehow begins to crack down the walls that Elliott has built up around himself, worming their way into the guy's heart as much as he, at the time, refused to admit it.

For a while- the span of around 2 years- Notos & Elliott become adventure buddies, running off to explore new parts of the world not yet mapped and getting into ridiculous antics with one another. Unfortunately, their friendship was bound to be cut short, as due to a previous impulsive incident on Elliott's part he was bitten by Notos' warden and became terminally ill from the toxins. Though it was able to be treated for a while using a special potion recipe, the illness ultimately took Elliott's life in Notos' arms, crashing them into a major depressive state that took years to heal from & forced them to become more mature.

A few years after Elliott's death, Notos was exploring old cave systems the two of them had visited before when he slipped on gravel and fell deep into a pit cave he couldn't find a way to escape on his own. Thankfully, his pleas for help were heard by another adventurer nearby; Aeolus. They found a way to pull him up and brought him back to their base in order to treat any scrapes or injuries he had retained. With his friendly-dog-like energy he was quick to befriend them, and over the following years their relationship progressed from platonic to romantic, becoming quite the adventurous- and frankly ditzy, in an endearing way- pair.

He's now living between his main place near Flora's house and Aeolus' secret base, though he makes frequent trips back to the deep dark & ancient city to gather more historical records, expand mapping of the cave systems, or simply to relax and hang out. They, Aeolus, Ursa & Flora have all become one big friend group, all caring greatly for one another and spending plenty of time with one another. Roughly 5 years into their relationship, he and Aeolus end up having two kids, Casey & Mellohi. The warden is still around... however, Notos has become far more cautious of it, and tries to keep his interactions with it to a minimum out of fear for the safety of his friends & family.
