Juno
In all of folk history there has only been one half-elf, half-human, self-proclaimed atheistic warlock adventurer and philosopher. This boy. Juno. It's complicated. Really complicated.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Scruffy dark brown hair and bright amber eyes with an abundance of chain jewelry, probably with a sweet but hoarse voice thrown into the mix.
Apparel & Accessories
Chain jewelry. The kid's obsessed with it. Chain earrings, bracelets on each wrist, and three necklaces. They all possess his symbol, two looped circles, each with a line crossing through its middle.
Juno tends to wear anything that is presented to him, as long as it does not burden him in any way. Suits, skirts, dresses, armour, anything. He makes it work. He thinks he looks nice in most things anyways. He does own a blue coat he's rather fond of, though.
Specialized Equipment
The longest of Juno's chain necklaces is used as a focus; he channels his magic into his metal symbol.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Louis Allen is the hedonistic son of a human merchant who travels from town to town, drinking, making friends and making love. He has at least a dozen bastard children and a countless amount of lovers. Louis never stays in one place for more than a few months, and he hardly ever visits the same place twice. One of his lovers was the New Karresian elven student Mave, and one of his bastard children is none other than their child, Juno.
He left a pregnant Mave helpless and broke. She abandoned her studies to raise Juno, who grew up in the lower middle class.
As a child, Juno loved to read, particularly the works of Marcanne, Hilario, Reyes, Delie, and Donato.
When Juno was twenty-two, Louis came back to New Karres. His request? To get to know his son. Juno was unimpressed. His father was rich, and had been living the good life, while his mother and who knows how many other parents had struggled to give their children a good life. And now he dared to come back and ask to get to know the son he never made an effort to help support!
It was then that Juno, then only a stationary warlock and philosopher, decided to be a traveler, following the example of his older cousin Maírín. He wanted to be the anti-Louis; traveling from town to town and helping others as much as possible, having a complete disregard for his own happiness. He also greatly values knowledge and logic, and he makes it a point to try to learn from everyone he meets.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
All Juno wants is to be the opposite of his father. Louis was hedonistic, selfish, and simple-minded, thinking only of himself, bringing more harm than good to whomever he met, and never learning from his mistakes. Juno wants to do good in the world, thinking primarily of the well-being of other people, and absorbing all the knowledge he can.
Though he doesn't like to admit it, Juno also wants to prove that he can succeed, that he can make a change in the world, like his older cousin Maírín.
Likes & Dislikes
He likes chain jewelry. I already said this.
Juno also likes snow, books, the most random trivia facts ("Humans were the species that invented hugs" is one of his favourites),
He dislikes being misunderstood and Jerry calling him out for his flaws. Why only Jerry, he doesn't know.
Virtues & Personality perks
Juno is an intellectual young man who knows many things and always thinks things through. He processes everything through an analytic lens and thinks objectively, letting him see many sides to an disagreement and solve many problems. He then argues to convince others of his side and fights for what he believes in.
Beyond the serious attitude, he's really a pure kid who wants to help out as much as he can. He's sweet in his own awkward way, and he tries his best to make everyone happy.
Vices & Personality flaws
Juno is terribly frightened of opening up and getting too close to people; he's afraid of hurting others like his father did. His friend (and potential lover, if only he'd let go of his fear that he'd break his heart) Jerry calls it his "fear of letting himself be happy for once".
Social
Family Ties
Juno is Maírín's "little cousin". She is a considered a hero in their community, and Juno, being a kid just stumbling into adventuring, is envious beyond measure. He wants to prove himself, just as she had.
As one of the sons of Louis Allen, Juno has met several of his siblings: Paddy, a half-orc sailor; Mara, a half-gnome warrior; Melissa, a human tailor; and Ness, a human whom he travels with.
Religious Views
Atheism
In a world where gods are widely believed in and almost indisputable, Juno is an atheist. He does not believe in the existence of deities one bit, for if one or multiple beings in the multiverse are divine, sacred, and/or worth worshiping, then at least one would have prevented his father from having all his children, then leaving them and their other parents to fend for themselves.
"No god exists if my father was permitted to do what he did."
Juno maintains that no being can be inherently "holy", "divine", or "omnipotent"; no being is inherently above another, because all beings are equal. Even if so-called "deities" existed, they would simply only qualify as a "particularly powerful worker of magic." No being is worth worship.
He asks, in a world with magic in the air and beings capable of basically anything, why does one need to justify existence and ideas with the concept of a higher being? Science and magic and logic is all one needs to explain the world, he says. Believe in what you want. Juno believes in knowledge and logic. Nothing else.
Warlock
Here's where the atheistic warlock comes into the picture. One would ask: how can an atheist be a warlock, a magic-user who draws power from a deity?
In fact, the definition of warlock is: "A practitioner of magic who receives their power directly from a deity, spirit, or any other high belief." Juno, with a somewhat mocking expression, explains that his "divine" source is his strong belief in Knowledge, Logic, and Pragmatism. His magical abilities relate to aspects of thought and philosophy, including the ability to manipulate time, memory, and thoughts.
He admits that he has never fully understood his powers either. He is still a kid, after all, and his best guess is that his defiance of the existence of gods and emphasis on knowledge are so strong that they manifested some strange magical reaction.
Social Aptitude
Juno's charisma is off the charts. He has a smooth and convincing voice; he is excellent at persuading people of what he believes, and though he isn't big on making friends or any sort of connection, he tends to attract friends and allies anyways.
Relationships
History
These two met when Jerry saved Juno from a hellhound. They've been traveling together ever since, along, with Jerry's best friend and Juno's half-sister Ness, Juno aiding Jerry in his monster hunting. During a year of companionship, the two grew feelings for each other of people closer than friends.
They shared a passionate kiss one magical night, but Juno pulled away, scared of hurting Jerry. Heartbroken, Jerry withdrew from him. Their relationship is currently very strained, yet their love for the other only grows stronger.
Wealth & Financial state
Juno did not grow up the most well-off; he never went hungry or slept on the streets, but his mother was overworked, and they were evicted out of their lodgings multiple times. As an adult, Juno lives decently due to his career as an adventurer, but he is very careful with his money.
