A Woven Cast
The characters of neur0loom are not symbols or lessons. They are ways of moving through the world. Shaped by memory, sensitivity, repetition, care, and survival. Each one carries a different relationship to attention, connection, and meaning.
Note to self: Redo all the cards. Need to make 2D sprites for a lot of the characters.
Knot
Quietly observant • Easily overwhelmed • Wants connection
Knot is curious, tangled, and quietly overwhelmed. He wants connection deeply, even when attention makes him unravel. Watching too closely makes the threads pull tighter.
Knell
Precise • Guarded • Holding herself together
She keeps her edges smooth in a world that presses too hard. Order is how she protects herself from unraveling.
Spindle
Quietly attentive • Carries memory • Finds meaning in what’s left behind
He notices what others miss and moves slowly through it, gathering fragments with care. Nothing is wasted if it can still be understood.
Fray
Restless • Bursting with motion • Impossible to ignore
He moves faster than the world expects and leaves traces wherever he goes. Chaos follows him — not out of harm, but out of momentum.
Apple
Open • Warm • Acts before doubt can catch him
He gives freely and trusts easily, often without realizing how rare that is. Being kind feels natural to him, not risky.
Eggy
Quiet • Observant • Hard to read, deeply present
He feels things slowly and doesn’t always have words for them. Still, he listens closely and stays longer than expected.
Milo
Gentle • Grounded • Attentive to small comforts
He notices textures, smells, and quiet rituals that make a place feel safe. The café exists because he needed it first.
Icosa
Abstract • Patterned • Difficult to define
They don’t fit neatly into language or shape. Meaning emerges only when you stop trying to pin them down.
Bean Vixen
Graceful • Watchful • Half-hidden by choice
She moves like she belongs to the space between moments. What she reveals is intentional — the rest remains veiled.
Keeper of the Fold
Measured • Protective • Bound to responsibility
They stand where stories are stored and guarded, ensuring nothing important disappears entirely. Their presence is steady, not comforting — but necessary.
Pineapple
Sharp-tongued • Energetic • Hiding affection in jokes
He deflects sincerity with humor and keeps people guessing. Caring is easier when it’s disguised as chaos.
Banana
Soft-spoken • Literal • Unbothered by contradiction
He listens without rushing and accepts things as they are. When Pineapple scribbles over his name, he just smiles.
Beta — Need a hand?
I don’t quite fit here — but I can help you find your way.
