Personality

Ceviola is an extremely friendly and outgoing soul, priding themselves in their ability to entertain and engage with all sorts of people. They are a patron of all arts, not just music, and they adore learning new things about the world around them, as they are rather new to Cyber City and how it works. They are definitely extroverted, revelling in the joys of crowds of cheering fans, but they can also be found quietly enjoying the evening alone on occasion.

Sometimes, they have a tendency to make choices based on short-term pleasures rather than long-term payoff and they can be naïve, but they're always willing to try something new on a dime if asked. While they sometimes have moments where they succumb to darker thoughts, they often keep those moments to themselves in order to make those around them happy and not scare them off. They can sometimes be overly competitive, but it's always in good fun for them rather than anything serious.

Story

Startup

To the residents of Cyber World, Ceviola was a sensation that manifested seemingly overnight; they easily caught attention with their fancy and high-tech appearance, and their voice was the likes of which none had ever heard before. However, while wandering the streets of the city upon initial startup, the first other Darkner they met just so happened to be a certain salesman.

Upon seeing them for the first time, Spamton could immediately see their [BIG SHOT] potential and became convinced that they were the perfect gateway to helping him become NEO. To that end, he introduced himself to them and, upon learning their directive and ambitions as a performer, offered to become their talent manager. Wanting for the company, not knowing any better, and perhaps holding no small amount of pity for the man from the goddamn garbage can, Ceviola chose to say yes.

Stable Release

As one might think, the former cungadero salesman had a hard time actually getting any gigs for them at first, his reputation being what it was. However, in a combination of repaying an old debt and seeing the merits of allowing fresh entertainment, he did manage to find one search bar willing to let them perform. That evening, Ceviola shared their talents for the first time and – almost immediately – Spamton knew that he had been right about them and their potential.

Despite this small start, word of mouth rather quickly carried their name throughout Cyber City, allowing the two easy entrance to even more gigs. Even those who normally would never allow Spamton anywhere near their establishments were willing to turn a blind eye with the electric angel vouching for him. Eventually, even Queen herself took an interest in them and invited them to entertain at her castle, giving him the opportunity he’d been waiting for.

But when it finally came time to give them the disk and ask for what he’d been wanting from the start… He didn’t quite understand why, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Sure, he hadn’t ever intended for any of this to be serious; it was just a means to an end. Even so, working together with Ceviola, having someone that really and truly liked him and wanted him around even despite everything, it meant more to him than they could have possibly known.

At that moment, he came to a profound realization: heaven had been watching him, and had sent to him a personal angel. Whether that was actually true or not, he understood that even though they could have easily abandoned him and went solo the moment their popularity skyrocketed, they stayed with him. He knew how much he loved Ceviola then, and one could only imagine how shocked he was to find out they felt the same. The two were a nigh inseparable pair since.
