tell me about Lithium I want to know what their story is so far 👀

long story short: Cunty bisexual nonbinary becomes a psychic supersoldier, gets depressed.

Long story under the readmore:

k im gonna try to keep this short lol Before Cain, Lithium had a pretty normal life. They had a pretty good family. Was a literature major, and was very much one of the meangirls who'd sit in the corner of a cafe and judge your outfit. And then Cain comes by and rips them away from their home.

The first hunt they went on was this absolutely brutal ogre called Mandatory Overtime, it just KEPT rolling like crazy and fucked Lithium up like crazy. They absentia during this mission and lose their eye. By the end of the hunt they've absolutely lost some confidence but nothing too drastic so far.

Second hunt was. Dracula. An idol sin. By the end of the hunt, Lithium has once more Suffered A Lot, had their first civilian kill, Absentiad again (losing their nose), went temporarily deaf. Then at the very end of it when theyre trying to spare/ kill the sin, one of the other players insists on sparing it while Lithium intensely pushes back. They end up knocking the poor guy down to kill the sin.

All of that combined absolutely fucks them up because. They started all of this as a selfish and vain character and now both of those traits have betrayed them. They switch from Songbird agenda to Temperance.

THE THIRD MISSION on god. Hound called Ballistic Retribution. This one hurts so bad because they somehow find themselves isolated from the rest of the group and end up having this insane heart to heart with the sin (fused sin) and sympathize so hard with him, they offer to stand down at least until he kills all his grudges. Once again there's insane inter-party tension. One of the other player characters push back on this so hard (rightfully) but it wears Lithium down mentally. The group manage to talk the sin down. The sin agrees to die.

Lithium fucking breaks after this. Even now theyre not fully recovered from ballistic retribution.

Then they go on a train mission for a toad and fight some under//heaven guys and get so badly betrayed by an undercover U//H spy that it fills them with a new kind of anger. Their agenda changes again to Survivor. Now theyre running on spite and a will to live

GAHHH IM SORRY THAT WAS SO LONG lol i tried to keep it short but womp womp.

bonus art for stickin around

SAINT TEMPERANCE wanted to do a quick thingy for Lithium with some biblical imagery or whatever !!! Unfortunately as soon as I made this, stuff happened to them again and their personality changed so it doesnt fit them as well anymore lol

portraits of lithium with and without their mask! this was meant to be a disco elysium style portrait and then i got carried away. eventually i did a more disco-style paintover & made a second portrait

the one on the left was made after a particularly devastating hound mission. theyre crashing out now lol
