Neon

Neon Bjórn is the main character in Neon's Tale and the only living descendent of the ancient Gladiator Regime, an ancient warrior race bound by blood. Once revered as a fable figure in Aurorean Legend, Neon is unfortunately a victim of circumstances and a complicated bloodline that grants great power and disastrous capabilities that has put him and those who stand by his side in jeopardy. Against these odds however Neon has persevered to defend Aurora, fight beside his friends as well as other Spriters and bring order to a world that has long depended on him.

Appearance
Neon stands with a fearsome Bear-like figure with bright Neon green fur and a Black leather hide that acts like clothes with a superhero motif. His hair hangs down to his knees and grows a darker shade of green. In the center of his chest Neon hosts a yellow gem that looks to be vital but doesn't seem to host any power or weaknesses. Alongside his recognizable form Neon is well known for his signature roar he boasts loud and proudly as well as soft and casually, Grawr!

Personality
Neon is first introduced as a young energetic adolescent prone to emotional outbursts caused by stress but perceptive to think twice about the objectives he faces. He's very openminded and kind to those around him wether friend or stranger, but unfortunately doesn't respond well to those he deems a threat. After witnessing the death of Sharion, one of Neon's earliest friends he's made, in front of him Neon has developed a terrible rage that has both acted against him and his friends, but has also aided him against his strongest enemies during the Negative Civil War.

As Neon grew older, he's become more mature when factoring his efforts to better Aurora and its people above his own reputation or benefit. Selfless, Neon often puts those around and close to him before himself. Despite his growths Neon is prone to fits of rage, if pushed too far then Neon goes beyond reasoning and requires time or a greater threat to regain his focus.

Early Years (First Aurora)
Neon's Date of Birth is currently unknown, though he possesses a memento that's given him his age. Unaware of his former family, or if he ever had one, Neon found himself on the once barren world of Destonia, the central city once designed by the Famed High Ruler Zemnack as it's reduced to a natural phenomenon as much of it's former architecture and design has been reduced to luxurious landscapes and environmental landmarks including Mt. Ruby, the Frozen Plateau, Acorn Forest, the Aurorean Jungles, the Cascade Sea and Crowned Valley.

Neon had discovered he was one of very few people that have the ability to Sprite, making him a Spriter or "Spritemaster" as some have coined, however where as most people discover this trait in their mid teens/early twenties Neon had discovered his at the early age of 7. Neon had quickly raised a kingdom of sprites that all looked up to him, but the pressure of taking responsibility proved daunting to Neon. Not wanting to abandon this world that's come to adore him, Neon had done everything he could in hopes of leaving what he would call the Aurora Kingdom in good hands. Attempts to pass leadership on to a willing sprite proved fruitless, forcing Neon to try and forge a sprite designed to lead which inspired him to create Ghiavica. Despite his intention, Ghiavica had quickly abandoned his role as King and fled the planet entirely, much to Neon's woes. After some time, Neon had come into contact with a traveling spriter from a nearby world known as Ayria. Neon's unique abilities and predicament quickly caught the wayward traveller's curiosity, as the Ayrian Spriter introduced himself as Exlem who offered his assistance leading into the Phoenix Project. After successfully creating a Bio-Organic clone with artificial enhancements to take Neon's place, Neon had retreated to live in peace as Exlem departed to Ayria.

After watching over Aurora for 2 years Phoenix found himself facing a crisis as Neon returned with newfound power and no will of his own slaughtering his own sprites. This ultimately led to a battle that nearly took Phoenix's life, yet left him mangled resorting to a self-destruction attempt to take out Neon in one last act of desperation. Despite this act of bravery, Neon survives the attack but succumbs to Amnesia that still plagues him to this day. The outcome of Neon and Phoenix's battle was undetermined by those who recorded this history but was falsely predicted to be that Phoenix attacked the kingdom and Neon had saved it. This was later exposed during the apex of the Negative Civil war by the returning Phoenix who survived his own self-destruction.

Rise of Aurora
After recovering from his battle against Phoenix, Neon retreated towards the depths of Acorn Forest on the Western front of Aurora. Sadly Neon had succumbed to amnesia and was unable to recall the denizens of Aurora City, its destruction or his own involvement. However Neon had a lingering guilt whenever he attempted to sprite afterwards, and felt if he created sprites he'd have to stay apart from any of them in order for them to survive and lived the next few years in solitude. For the duration of Rise of Aurora, Neon's legacy would be brought up by Ghiavica who had shortly returned after the events of First Aurora, as he revered Neon as a valiant leader who'd return again.

Neon wouldn't appear again until the very end of the series where he was first discovered by Broxic and Spes, and later that same day by Muscraw and Sharion. Against his initial concerns with being involved in the lives of his sprites, Neon found himself quickly befriending everyone he's come across and even forging friendly rivalries with Broxic and Muscraw.

Neon's Tale
In just one year after "Rise of Aurora" Neon had suddenly found himself at the center of a civil war as the newfound leader of the Negatives sent Hivalora and Wreckazar to eliminate Neon before he regains whatever power made him beyond control in his past. Sharion warns Neon of the potential danger he's in now that his presence has been discovered, and even a new threat altogether known as Umbra. Worried that Neon might have become a host for the spirit of a vengeful warrior, Sharion advises to take Neon to Aurora City with Muscraw strongly agreeing. Originally leaving Spes and Broxic behind, as they were not known to be involved at all, Neon originally objects to leaving them behind but it isn't long before they hear a battle over the horizon erupt as Broxic makes a brave stand against the Negatives.

Sharion tells Muscraw to stick to the plan as she immediately races back to save Broxic and Spes, ultimately giving her life to do so despite Neon and Muscraw barely keeping up behind her. The sight of Sharion's lifeless body left Neon utterly distraught, but it isn't until the cackling hivalora starts to boast this great accomplishment that Neon loses all restraints, calling forth a dormant power that not only eviscerates Hivalora but brings out the dormant spirit Umbra.

While Neon's friends attempt to hold off Umbra in battle, Neon is able to muster the strength to fend off Umbra in their conjoined mind as Neon scarcely triumphs and takes back control. After reflecting on his recent loss and struggles Neon awakes to find himself looked after by Serenegar, Dracovassal of Forest, as well as Amber. Neon learns from the pair the legend of an artifact that may very well be on Neon's world known as the Grand Door and it's starting to draw sprites and even spriters from other worlds into this brewing war. Neon recruits Amber to the party as they push onward to Aurora, however several encounters with newly appearing spriters, Neon is caught in an ambush by Milrexa who is now a Negative Elite. Despite the ensuing battle being against Milrexa in numbers, she makes quick work of the trio as she prepares her killing strike, until she was interrupted by Amber who saves Neon in the nick of time.

Amidst the battle Neon is approached by Umbra who offers to help in exchange for momentary control, and although wary of his allegiance Neon takes a chance as Amber's life now hangs in the balance. Neon and Umbra make a momentary pact as Umbra intervenes and saves Amber's life, and forces Milrexa to hastily retreat. It's here Neon and Umbra's relation begins to take shape as Umbra can add his input amidst conversations both to harass the poor spriter but in several cases offering advice and giving vital warnings.

Oath to the Elements
Neon follows the invitation to Mystikke sent by Acheron and proceeds to aid the group of spriters in combating the trials of the various aspects and combating Acheron's forces acting under the order of Hydraxion.
