Livius

◇♧♤

Introduction in the show: at first we dont know anything about him, just that hes a random villain fighting catguy and glow worm and thats all thats shown, keeping him more mysterious. Over time there are subtle hints on that hes catguys brother, gradually coming into small flashbacks hinting at it from time to time. At an end of an episode there is a more specific flashback, revealing that they are brothers. Then there could be a whole one episode about them, how it all started, about the jealously and the backstory.

Cool facts: His name means envious, bluish and livid, which ties to his backstory.

He is in some ways the opposite of catguy while still being similar enough to be his brother. For example in values his palette is the opposite of catguys. His eye color is the opposite to catguys (if you reverse green its purple). His build is also slightly different and slimmer. The grayscale palette is supposed to show how he is not heroic as well as make him stand out from the colorful world.

Backstory:

It all began when he was a kid. His older brother, Catguy, from the beginning was seen as the "favorite brother". Having many friends while he had none. Admired, having all the attention, not as thin and weak as Livius.

For Catguy heroism came naturally. For him not. He never liked the whole "hero" thing, it was nauseating.

For some time he tried to become as strong as Catguy, but soon after discovered magic and quickly realized that being smart gives you way more advantage than muscles, even if you dont get admired as much for it. He became obsessed with it, determined to learn every trick and spell he could. (His main abilities are pulling shadowy rabbits and doves out of his hat to be his minions, as well as dissappearing with magic, and conjuring cards that can be trown. He is still learning more.)

He kept his growing hatred for Catguy hidden, keeping him oblivious. But when Catguy became a full on hero and legend with Glow worm, leaving him forgotten as if he was never there he couldn't hold it anymore. He sworn Catguy as his enemy, determined to make him fall and get all the attention, even if negative. He didn't care what kind of attention, didn't care if he was called the villain, even deep down liked it. At first Catguy didn't want to fight him, but when Livius started to hurt innocent creatures to get his attention he had no choice and they became enemies.

Medium-low male voice, generally smooth and performative, more dark than heroic (kinda opposite to Catguy).

While we imagine Livius with either a British , a General European OR a Polish/Czech/ Slovak accent - any accent can in principle work! The acting part is the most important thing .
