Drongo

"I'm not ready for anything! Don't even know why I'm here! *Frantic chuckles*"
Drongo

Drongo is a playable character in Predecessor. He is from Equinox.

Lore

Raised in the dust ridden scraplands of Everburn and left to rot, Drongo didn’t lose his mind; he just misplaced it somewhere between the dynamite runs and bad moonshine.

Years in the toxic rust pits left him with “chatty thoughts” that sometimes provided helpful warnings of ambushes, while other times they insisted the torn-up boots on his feet were somehow out to get him. He trusts them about half the time. The other half, he’s blowing holes in things just to see what’s inside.

Whether he’s cursed, unhinged, or just in on a joke no one else gets, Drongo keeps laughing, because the moment he stops, the voices might start making sense.
