[CHARACTER BLURB]
Super rowdy, playfully provocative and open-hearted. Super fun to hang out with. His existence tends to kind of challenge people's romantic alignment (in a lighthearted way). Anyw,, Dio is a "take life one day at a time" kind of guy, who maintains a positive attitude around people, basically treats everyone like they're already friends by default, and tends to put them at ease because of it. Wouldn't shy away from a party, and, though it's not uh. Not THAT great for business. He is not opposed to handing out a free drink or two at the cocktail bar he works at, as long as people are willing to have that drink with him.

Secret crippling depression sufferer with Will WOOO :'D See, the thing is, Dio was adopted as a pet to his demon caretaker - but he had no idea he would eventually grow up and get a doll form and whatnot the entire time he was there. Like, brother just straight up did not know what "being a succubun" entailed. His caretaker lavished him with affection and essentially treated him like one of those chunky cats that don't even need to walk to the litterbox themselves because their owner will just carry them there, so not only did Dio grow up not knowing what the fuck he was, but he also learned zero (life) skills whatsoever. Literally EVERYTHING was done for him, and he didn't know any better than he was going to be a cute little pet with a loving owner forever.

And then he became an adult, and he developed the ability to become a doll, and his demon caretaker went the classic route of ".. hm. They're cuter when they're small, lemme get a new one", and all of a sudden Dio was cast into the world with zero ideas how to do anything and no information on his own species. So uh. Needless to say. That left some scars, as did his first years navigating Burrowgatory on no skills when he had lived an entire year not even knowing what a succubun was exactly. He is where he is personality-wise now, but it took a hell of a lot to get there, which may just be why his attitude feels so much more sincere, and why he can sweep people along with who he is so well. Takes mental health very seriously too; you can always come to him when you need someone to talk to, or could just really use a hug or a good cry without any judgment. He doesn't really talk about his own predicament openly, but he gives great life advice over a couple of cocktails.
