Galao

[ Scorpio ]

(Water / Cups)

galao: "a hot drink from Portugal made of espressso and foamed milk"

Galao was once a scholar who sought to reform the world that he lived in: a place of famine, poverty and endless despair. His wishes to recreate it to a place full of life were successful in a sense, but came at an enormous cost. The goddess who had heard his pleas was far from benevolent. The world she had created from his desires took a toll on his body, reducing him to a misty state as a wind spirit. No longer tangible, Galao feels nothing outside of his own, personal space. He has become an observer to others, and himself. Centuries passed, and the helplessness in his situation took its toll. His attempts to break free had all been in vain, so Galao resigned himself to bringing others to his domain in hopes that they can break him free.

Galao was always devoted to work and productivity, studying from sunrise to sunset while he was still alive. He can be very poor at expressing his emotions, and is often confused by these emotions themselves. It’s easy for him to fall into the depths of his work ethic, prioritizing discovery and results above all else. If success is within his sights, it does not matter what it costs for him to get there… or so he has been telling himself. Ever since becoming a wind spirit, Galao has grown to be claustrophobic.
