EDIT: Slight sliiight app art update. I just fixed the way I drew his ears~ They were backwards before whoops.
:new: EDIT 2: App art update again. Nothing much has changed really. I just found an easier way to draw him that doesn't make him look so stiff. His ears are so fun to draw now hhhhh <3 Cane's blocking that badge though woops; This is what happens if I don't draw on the app itself lhalhdflkhf

History: Cornelius O'Brien is said to have an affinity with music. He could play a song almost perfectly after hearing that song once due to his impeccable sense of tone and memory. Though when one is so good at one area must be terrible in another. In his case, it is his sight. Neil was born blind. Despite this though, his parents wanted to share their special son's musical ability with the world. They were in the music business themselves after all.

From a young age he participated in various performances alongside his composer father and violinist mother without complaint. He was quiet, reserved and didn't have much interaction with anyone other than the sophisticated adults at high-class social gatherings. Even then all they asked was for him to play a piece for them. The only music he heard was classical and opera. If he heard a single note of any other genre, it was cut off, his parents saying that it just wasn't up to par with what they preferred. For a time he thought they were right.

He had many tutors who taught him various subjects, with piano and violin lessons taking priority. There was one particular teacher however who was different from the rest. Benedict Green. Civilized pianist in front of his parents, guitarist while they were away. Unlike his other tutors who only followed their schedule, he introduced Neil to rock, pop, jazz and every other genre that existed, something that was not meant to be part of the lesson. He even took the Buneary outside, after wearing a disguise of course, and exposed him to street performers. And Neil liked it all. He even tried singing himself, noticing his own voice following the tunes.

His parents did eventually find out what the two were doing. Ben was fired and Neil was grounded for socializing with uncivilized folk. Once that event was long behind them, things went back to normal. New tutors, more performances, etc. But the Buneary wanted more. He wanted to go outside for reasons other than getting to their next venue. He wanted to no longer feel the pressure of performing in front of hundreds of high-class, judgemental socialites. He wanted to know what music really was. So once he became of age, he left the comfort of his mansion, much to his parents' disapproval. As much as they didn't want him to waste his talent on strumming a guitar and singing with "that horrid raspy voice of his", they respected his wish to leave on one condition. They will no longer support him financially. And Neil was fine with that.

With only his hearing to guide him, he went to those street performers, trying to listen for some familiar voices. It had been years since he was at the place so new singers replaced the old. Feeling lost, he met a couple 'mon and pleaded to them about his situation. Obviously he didn't think through the whole "leaving home" thing. They couldn't help but notice his blindness, so they led him to two others who had the same disability, singing. Him and those two hit it off immediately and became fast friends. Before Neil knew it he became part of the group called The Blinding.

He travelled with the small group, performing on the streets for some change. Didn't make nearly as much money as before but he was no longer feeling pressured to do everything perfectly. He was actually having fun, his evolution obviously showing that fact. Though he couldn't help but feel tired of the constant travel over the years. The noise of the cities they go to didn't help either. So with sad goodbyes, he separated himself from the other two and went his own way. He wanted to settle down in a small town, somewhere peaceful and quiet. And that's how his feet eventually got him to the gates of Pokette. Who knows what lies on the other side? Guess there's just one way to find out...

Extras:
•Has eidetic memory though it only applies to music. Don't expect him to remember trivial facts.
•He's not one to show off his memory however. He won't even mention it unless the other speaks about it first.
•He honestly doesn't know when or where he got the piercings;;;
•His cane's retractable. Perfect for keeping in his inner shirt pocket.
•Doesn't take his cane out when there's large crowds. He doesn't want to whack other's shins with it or anything.
•He hates to admit it but he's laaazy.
•His voice actor would be Derek Cate [link]
•He can wear anything others pick for him so long as it's comfortable. And yes he's wearing piano pants.
(more to be added as time passes)
