So for an RP server I’m on I decided to create a former overworked PHD student turned Espeon.
My OC was always passionate about his field thanks to the influence of his parents. Then one day when he was about 10, His parents got murdered by their former advisor, who seemed like a wise, serene, and competent advisor at first, but deep down he’s a complete narcicisst. They had found a flaw in one of his papers and he murdered them, burned their papers, and took in my now-Espeon friend as their student.
For the next 16 years of his life, he was forced to endure almost constant overwork , with very little opportunity to socialize , have fun and was told to not have attachments to the fruits of his labor to justify him getting very little for his hard work. Furthermore because of his lack of opportunity to network and his parents’ reputations, when he got to grad school, he found it almost impossible to network and by extension find internships/get grant money.
Then one day he rediscovered the same flaw in his advisor’s paper along with 6 other papers of his advisors that have flaws. And before he could tell his advisor about it he got turned into an espeon.
Any ideas for a partner for this OC?
