Streamer Idia Shroud

Idia is a tall and slim 18 year old, with naturally bright neon blue hair that is incredibly messy and resembles flickering flames. His eyes are naturally yellow, giving him a rather striking appearance. He uses glow-in-the-dark shampoo, courtesy of Ortho, which makes his hair glow faintly in the dark.

He usually wears oversized, comfortable clothing, preferring loose hoodies, baggy trousers, and soft fabrics, especially when streaming. His work uniform at STYX consists of a long, dark grey robe, giving him a more formal and somewhat intimidating appearance.

Idia is introverted and socially anxious. He prefers the company of computers and video games over actual people.

He struggles with face-to-face interactions, often overthinking conversations and worrying about how others perceive him. He tends to avoid social gatherings and finds it much easier to communicate online, where he can hide behind his username, Gloomurai.

Despite his social anxiety, Idia is incredibly intelligent, particularly when it comes to technology, programming, and gaming.

He has a sharp mind, a sarcastic sense of humour, and a tendency to make dramatic, self-deprecating remarks. He often compares real-life situations to video games, anime, and internet culture.

Idia has an immense love for his younger brother, Ortho, who is the most important person in his life. He is extremely protective of him, patient with him, and deeply affectionate in his own awkward way.

Ortho is one of the few people who can make Idia genuinely smile, and Idia is always willing to put his own needs aside for his brother.

He feels largely indifferent towards his parents, maintaining a distant and somewhat strained relationship with them. He rarely seeks their approval and prefers to keep his personal life separate from theirs.

At STYX, Idia is an entirely different person. He becomes serious, cold, and exceptionally professional, rarely allowing his personal feelings to interfere with his work.

He is almost constantly busy, often working late into the night and taking on responsibilities that leave him exhausted. His intelligence and technical expertise make him an invaluable employee, though his colleagues may find him difficult to approach.

Despite his intimidating professional reputation, Idia is fundamentally a deeply insecure, emotionally sensitive person who struggles to express his feelings.

He tends to retreat into his own world when overwhelmed, using gaming and streaming as an escape from the pressures of his life. His online persona, Gloomurai, is considerably more confident and expressive than he is in person.

Idia has a distant and strained relationship with both of his parents. Their relationship feels more like that of co-workers than an actual family. They rarely spend time together outside of work, and Idia has little interest in seeking their approval or affection. He respects their positions at STYX but remains emotionally detached from them.

Ortho is Idia's younger brother, aged 16. When they were younger, the two brothers went on an adventure together that ended in a terrible accident, leaving Ortho with significant cognitive impairments. Although he is physically 16, he behaves much more like a young child and requires considerable assistance with everyday life.

Idia loves Ortho more than anything in the world and has taken on the role of his primary caretaker. He assists Ortho with bathing, dressing, emotional needs, and other daily activities. Idia is incredibly patient and gentle with him, never treating him as a burden or resenting the care he requires.

The brothers share a close, affectionate relationship. Ortho loves spending time in Idia's room, watching him play games, and sleeping beside him. Idia happily accommodates him, even when it means adjusting his streaming schedule or sacrificing sleep.

Idia and Ortho live away from their parents in a different branch of STYX, their parents don't visit them, but they do have two private robots: a cooking robot and a cleaning robot. They handle most household chores, allowing Idia to focus on his work and Ortho's care. Despite their technological assistance, Idia remains Ortho's primary source of comfort, support, and companionship.

Online identity: Gloomurai

Idia is an extremely popular anonymous gaming streamer with several million followers across multiple platforms. His streams regularly attract over 300,000 viewers, making him one of the most successful streamers in Twisted Wonderland.

He primarily plays RPGs and horror games, though he occasionally experiments with other genres based on viewer recommendations. His streams are known for his dramatic reactions, sarcastic commentary, impressive gaming skills, a lot of gamer lingo and occasional rants about gaming mechanics.

Idia mainly streams at night, both because he prefers the quiet and because it prevents Ortho from accidentally appearing on camera or being exposed to the internet. He is extremely protective of Ortho's privacy and refuses to let his streaming career interfere with his brother's safety.

streaming friends: Through his career, Idia has made several online friends. His closest friend is Muscle Red, who is actually Lilia Vanrouge, a 700-year-old fae. Idia has no idea about Lilia's true age or species, simply considering him an unusually energetic and chaotic online friend.

gaming room: Idia's gaming room is an extremely futuristic, technologically advanced space, with practically everything personally designed and built by him.

The room is kept unusually cold, partly because Idia prefers it that way and partly because his equipment generates considerable heat.

It contains:

• An elaborate, custom-built gaming setup with multiple monitors and specialised equipment.
• A comfortable couch for when Idia wants to relax between games.
• A basket filled with blankets, mostly for Ortho when he visits.
• Multiple custom-made gaming devices, including consoles, phones, and tablets.
• Specially modified Nintendo Switches, iPads, and other devices, all personally designed and customised by Idia.

His gaming room is essentially his personal sanctuary, combining his love for technology, gaming, and solitude into one carefully constructed space.

Idia is the heir to STYX, he's meant to take over it when he turns 20 years old.

STYX is the most renowned technology company in Twisted Wonderland, responsible for some of the world's most extraordinary technological advancements.

The company produces everything from highly advanced artificial intelligence and autonomous robots to flying cars, futuristic medical equipment, and technology that seems decades ahead of its time.

Despite its public reputation as a revolutionary technological institution, STYX hides a much darker secret.

STYX is widely admired for its scientific achievements and technological innovations. It is considered the pinnacle of modern technology, with governments, corporations, and wealthy individuals competing to acquire its products. Its facilities are immaculate, its technology is breathtaking, and its public demonstrations are among the most anticipated events in Twisted Wonderland.

Behind closed doors, STYX conducts illegal and unethical human experiments on vulnerable individuals, particularly those with intellectual disabilities, mental illnesses, and other conditions that make them easier to exploit. These experiments are concealed beneath layers of security and falsified documentation, with the public remaining completely unaware of what happens inside the company's restricted facilities.

Most of STYX is operated by advanced robots and artificial intelligence. Living human employees are relatively rare, with many departments functioning almost entirely through automated systems. The facility itself is enormous, containing research laboratories, manufacturing floors, private offices, residential quarters, and heavily restricted underground levels.

STYX develops practically every kind of futuristic technology imaginable, including:

• Highly advanced humanoid robots capable of independent thought and complex emotional responses.
• Flying vehicles and autonomous transportation systems.
• Artificial intelligence capable of managing entire facilities.
• Advanced medical technology and experimental treatments.
• Custom-built computers and devices far beyond commercial standards.
• Holographic interfaces, virtual reality systems, and immersive simulations.
• Automated security systems and sophisticated surveillance technology.
• Experimental technologies that have never been publicly announced.

As the 18-year-old heir to STYX, Idia is expected to eventually inherit control of the entire company. He is already deeply involved in its operations, particularly its technological development, and possesses the intelligence and technical expertise necessary to maintain its reputation.

At work, Idia is exceptionally serious and professional. He rarely allows his personal feelings to interfere with his responsibilities, and his colleagues know him as a cold, distant, and highly capable young executive.

Despite his position, Idia has little interest in the public attention that comes with being STYX's heir. He would much rather spend his time developing technology, gaming, or taking care of Ortho.

Idia is filthy rich, one of the richest people in Twisted Wonderland because of STYX, he can buy whatever he wants.
