*I had an idea for Blacklight. What if he was a sort of foil to the crew of the Barnacle?
He embodies the worst parts of pirates: greedy and power-hungry. At the same time, he denies the parts of pirates that redeem them: freedom, friendship, and confidence. He has rejected his family time and time again, pushing them away because he thinks he's not "good enough" yet. He has put himself into terrible situations because he feels a need to get "stronger" somehow, and he drags the people he trusts into those situations time and time again. He has a hunger and greed he can never sate and purges what he collects when he realizes he's gone too far, dropping his crew with fat severance packages. A symbolic Bulimia Nervosa. He hates what he's become, and he refuses help from everybody... everybody except Henryk, the first man to get through to him.*
*super cool! Love the idea that he is basically the opposite of their best traits*
*Even better, nearly all his class abilities as a Jaeger are related to getting into trouble and shirking the consequences, while Henryk as a Bard is a supportive class that can stand on its own in almost any situation.*
*I want Blacklight to be a true villain, not just a monster of the week. I want him to be gut-wrenchingly wrong in the context of the setting. Finding a loving home in a constantly changing and hostile world while fighting back against evil? Nope, he's rejecting everything good, hurting people close to him, and openly embracing the evils of Lubridium for his own gain.*

A rather average-seeming man is escorted in with his hands tied together. Average looks, average height, average smile, just looking at his pleasant exterior wouldn't alert anyone to the torn man underneath. Or should I say... men.

He greets everyone with a warm smile and hello as he passes by, looking out of place.

*fun! Honestly it’s kinda hard to make good villains, but you usually do a really good job at it, so I’m excited!*
Rudolph is working on a marionette doll, using the string Romeo brought him. *this is gonna be one of those previously mentioned minions he can make tons of!*
*also can I just say that Romeo is super cool, it’ll be fun to see what they and Rudolph do*

Rudolph, a teenage boy with a blue shirt and grey pants, as well as blond hair and blue eyes, follows him. He waved to them, hiding a knife made of strange, definitely supernatural materials in one hand.

“Rudolph! Rudolph the Toymaker. What’s your name?”
Blacklight is wrapped in his coat, playing a song on the piano that he somehow unlocked. His arm seems to have grown back pretty quickly. The two extra ones are new, though.
Romeo is dancing to the music. Swing dance, specifically.

Blacklight is in the basement, mumbling to itself. It seems to have scratched some sort of design onto the concrete floor in one of the few non-flooded parts of the basement.

He takes the thread, thanking Romeo.
”also, how did you learn to speak? Was it just something you knew how to do?”
All puppets can speak puppet, but I'm not sure how I learned how to write common. Perhaps it was the bones you made me out of?

“Maybe. The bones were from a creature that could speak common.”
