With a raise of his brow, a soft, barely audible sigh managed to escape its way through Neoh's small, pale lips. This was likely the least entertaining, and most certainly the least interesting development which could have transpired. A pair of large, black eyes maintained a locked state of focus on Rick as the hero left, a less than amused expression making itself known upon the young, theatrical boy's features. "Well..," Neoh began, reaching for another brownie. They were quite heavenly, something most would be prepared to agree with. "Maintaining how this scene has been utterly misinterpreted in lieu of simply offering you the prize you sought," the young hero spoke, biting into his second brownie. "Do enjoy your stay, arm yourself against disappointment, but alas..," another sigh managed its way past a pair of slender lips, this time far more audible, "our exchange has been thwarted by an expertly placed strike, hemorrhaging the act of mystery." 

Neoh allowed the blade beneath him to vanish, as a pair of small, bare feet met the metallic foundation below. He was, indeed, disappointed, for there was an aim towards joyful mischief, with this newcomer. Alas, it would forever surpass the theatrical teenager how his behavior, and how their exchange, had in any way warranted worry from Rick, but Neoh could not read the lines of another actor. No, he had no written the script, and neither had another. Life, one could say, had a pen of its own, and scribbled across parchment with furious intent. As for Neoh, however, his interest in participating with this development grew thin.

As if the Chessire Cat conversing with Alice, only to have a third party putting a wrench in between their dramatical approach was, as one might have possibly been able to imagine, a frustrating outcome. "Help yourself to some brownies, if a desire to wash away disappointment suits your fancy," Neoh extended his hand, dainty fingers wrapping their way around a cold, silver handle before pulling open the fridge from whence he produced a bright, pink drink with a large 'M' printed upon the aluminum surface. Monster Energy, which he had grown adequately addicted to. A cold, icy foundation caressed the boy's hand as he proceeded to close the door and started towards the kitchen's exit. "Refrain from shooting Arrowcaster, and all that," Neoh commented, in passing, as he was padding away. "But if you do, for the love of God..," the boy stopped, turning his obsidian gaze towards their new guest, "make it entertaining." It would proceed to be his final words, before Neoh made himself scarce, leaving the kitchen, and his groupmates behind. He had errands to attend, and however the scenario now left behind developed, it was a story for another time, a story he could read later, and certainly, something which would require some heaving editing, for future reference.

Feeling the heat of newly baked brownies against his pearly white teeth, Neoh exhaled a long, delighted sigh of joy which accompanied a taste comparable to heaven's gates, themselves. He had succeeded. It took six attempts, it required him to go above and beyond, and it warranted frustration in the purest of forms, but he had finally managed to best this most elusive nature of a brownie treat. "May poets write of this success, for victory has been achieved," Neoh's soft, melodic voice left the boy's lips, after he fell back towards the large table, at his side. He took another bite, and a third, his delighted glee finding no end in indulgence. In situations like these, he would have found himself grateful of the trait coursing through the young hero's body. A trait he was not aware of, not yet, at the very least. A trait, one might say, which would proceed to change Neoh's life entirely, once truth of its nature boiled to the surface. He could not gain in weight, nor could he achieve a muscular build, no, he could not change the most mundane of features other than a simple haircut. Locked in stasis, frozen in time, taken out of the equation entirely, Neoh was a mutant whose body maintained its current state and would proceed to do so for eons to come. A power many would seek to achieve, one villains of moral ambiguity would kill to seal within themselves.  It was not a stretch to point at this peculiar boy and consider him a curious entity, indeed. However, it would be foolish to expect a smile, or an excited reaction to this most eventual realization. Neoh was an observer, placed in a world which would continue to grow, and move on without him. A brother, a mother, and friends would all find themselves in the rocky seas known as life's wondrous adventure, as Neoh remained on the shore, engaging in this development through a black-eyed gaze, and little more. 

Considering the blissful expression blessing his features, however, other things had taken place within the boy's mind, a focus which remained fixed on the brownies now cooling on a metal plate. It was only when his attention was stolen, that Neoh turned his head to a new arrival. Odd, he had not been expecting this change in scenery, but Arrowcaster had not made it a habit to keep everyone notified of every single line written into the ever-growing chapter of their journey. "Mh?" A quiet sound slipped through a pair of slender, pale lips as obsidian orbs others had grown used to shifted their focus to this most unexpected change. "I believe many seek the legend," came a statement, accompanied by a slight, if toothy grin which bridged its way across Neoh's mouth. This man, he was armored, and armed, for that matter. Guns, tools of those without the spectacular. Loud things, obnoxious on the very best of days. It did not take a master in psychology to note a less than enthused manner emanating from the young hero upon taking note of these additions. "One would agree, that parting with weapons is only common courtesy, when stepping through the threshold of another's home, no?" The boy asked, tilting his head, eyes focused on this man, with zealous intent. Trust, it was a curious thing, indeed, something earned, rather than given. "Would you then indulge a young mind's curious nature, good sir?" Neoh continued, with a small, casual motion of his hands. This brought a large, ghostly, white sword into existence which caught his small, weightless frame with ease as he dropped onto its shape. With one leg over the other, Neoh took another bite of his brownie, that mischevious smirk lingering upon his pale face. "What brings a stranger to our stage? I have read the script and alas..," he took another bite, "your presence eludes me." Raising a finger, the boy continued, "that is not to say, that an unexpected entrance lacks welcome." Finishing the brownie, Neoh gently rubbed his hands together, before resting them on his lap, small, dainty fingers drumming against his thigh. "Enlighten me, warrior. Accompany firearms with linguistic delight," yet again, a grin blessed Neoh's lips, revealing that he enjoyed a cryptic conversation far more than any teenager had any right to. However, as he leaned forward upon that floating sword, he spoke once more, the boy's voice maintaining its theatrical nature. "Impress us with an audition and maybe..," a finger rose, yet again, its nail colored obsidian, to tap on the teen's chin, "perhaps..," he stated, "an audience with the esteemed Arrowcaster will find itself earned."

With an obsidian gaze shifting its focus, if only for a moment, Neoh turned his attention to a new addition which had blessed their team, with her presence. Count Hackula, Neoh called her, with the extended title referring along the lines of 'Esteemed Techno Count Hackula, of Robovania.' It was, however, as one might agree, a far too extravagant title in terms of efficiency. The young hero would proceed to exchange such glamour for a simpler approach. Count Hackula sufficed, and none would complain, when spared Neoh's insistence on proclaiming the girl's entire handle, at every conceivable opportunity. A title he had conjured forth himself, one might add.

He leaned back against the otherwise cold, metallic floor, eyes darting back to those brownies in an attempt to maintain vigilance. He could not burn them again. Though, despite stakes reaching immense heights, Neoh did quite enjoy the comfort of a chilled floor against his pale, bare skin.

It might have been a surprise to see this young artist, the tailor, and fashion designer, in a pair of shorts along with a tank top hugging his scrawny frame. Indeed, flamboyant wear often made its way to Neoh's frame, but at times of comfort and relaxation, one would grow used to seeing this young hero in little more than shorts, and sleeveless shirts.

With a small smile revealing itself upon his features, Neoh offered a response to the girl, his face a cute addition, if there ever was one. None in their right mind, apart from maybe the boy's mother, would consider him handsome, a compliment reserved for those of chiseled chins, and strong chests. However, adorable, endearing, and perhaps even pretty might have sounded more accurate. It would not have been the first time he was mistaken for a girl, of the same age. "My story," the boy began, tapping his chin, before pulling his bare, scrawny legs closer to his body.

To be called Oscar Wilde was quite wholesome, in a way. A friendly approach, nicknames. The fiery hero who had presented the handle Fire Fist had managed to string together a play on words, for Neoh. Spectacles, from Spectral, which in turm elevated to Specs. It had, however, proceeded to earn laughter from the young fashion designer. It was nifty, something he could not deny. "How far back in the script shall we go?" Neoh considered his words, before eventually presenting a response. "Retaining some mystery will only add to the plot, would you not agree?" A faint grin bridged its way across his lips. "Let's start with a more recent chapter."

Beneath Neoh, a large, white sword manifested itself into existence. As if ghostly sand forming the shape, a dangerous weapon made itself known, glimmering in reflection of a large kitchen's lights. Opposing its apparent nature, however, the manifestation appeared entirely tangible, where Neoh used his creation as little more than a chair. It lifted him from the floor, pulling him to the boy's feet, before vanishing in a similarly spectacular instant. Onlookers would perhaps have considered the scene an awesome revelation. However, those who were more familiar with Neoh's shenanigans would immediately point at the core of this display. Laziness. "Though I can look back at a life of comfort and luxury, I shared the same fascination with heroics, as both peasant, and king," Neoh explained. "Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered, one might say, for that was something I could attest to." The theatrical boy continued, "by the tales of dragon slaying knights roaming our streets."

Turning to the oven, Neoh's eyes widened. It was time. "Ah! Pray for a victory fanfare!" An excited exclamation left the teenager's lips, a small hand pulling the oven hatch open, for that intoxicating scent to spread its wings, and fly across the kitchen. Slipping into a pair of oven mitts, Neoh freed his artwork from its warm confines, and carefully placed the large, black plate on the metallic surface.

An expression of absolute delight undoubtedly revealed anticipated results. The brownies were perfect. Sixth time's the charm.

It would be a fair assumption to claim that Neoh's main focus revolved around the act of tailoring, and it would string along a sense of truth. However, that was not to say that the young hero found little joy in other activities. Among these, one could make out the ancient art of baking, mainly from the wondrous scent of Rocky Road brownies now baking in the oven. Was the boy a decent chef? No. Not at all. Those with the displeasure of having experienced his cooking would attest to this, without fault. However, baking was a chemistry in itself. The question then echoed the first. Was he a decent baker? Yes, decent was a sound description as anything beyond the fact would be adding layers of the fantastical onto this scenario. Where Neoh shone was predominantly in one area, which he was well known for. Even so, it would be a waste to discard a boy's pursuits of other endeavors.

"What an exhilarating spectacle..," came a soft whisper from the theatrical young man as he sat on his knees, watching the oven with great interest and anticipation. Indeed, Neoh was, if anything, a theatrical and dramatic youngster, by every sense of the term. Romance, drama, and bombastic displays were all fitting descriptions when pointing towards Neoh's repertoire. Ironic, then, that it was accompanied by a calm, relaxed and laid back demeanor, his voice a soft, and quiet tune others would consider relatively soothing.

Arrowcaster had come across the young hero when Neoh stood between, if he might add, lovely artwork, and theft. Where the boy was, in fact, quite the celebrity in Mega City, Arrowcaster had put little emphasis on the fact when Neoh revealed his identity. Indeed, it was an irrelevant fact, for the older hero. A wise man, with experience to lean against tended towards placing judgment on actions, rather than stature, and he would be right in doing so.

Turning his head towards Judah, a bright pair of black eyes met the hero. Neoh shifted his attention between magnificent brownies, and the expressed proposition of engaging in a far more rigorous activity. "Oh, Judah..," Neoh sighed, a melancholy expression making its way to his features. "Alas, my quest has planted me firmly by the oven, in wait of this most..," the boy paused, his large, obsidian eyes fixed on the pastries, "this beautiful display of culinary excellence." Inhaling a sharp breath, Neoh leaned to the side where he sat, on the polished, metal floor. "It has been an arduous journey, Judah, heed my tale..," Neoh exhaled, hugging a pair of small knees against his chest. "If failure slumbers at the horizon, there is no forgiveness to accompany such shame." With a gulp, Neoh tensed, shaking his head, "Forgive me, beloved brother in arms.., I will be forced to decline your offer of excitement." Placing a small, dainty hand at the cold, sleek floor, Neoh's obsidian glare met his fellow hero. "But in spirit, I will remain in your heart.., never.., forget." He finished, as Judah left with another hero close in tow.

Neoh was not going to fail these brownies. Not again. Not the sixth time. His honor had been laid across a cutting board, and an expressed love for chocolate could not be discarded in wake of this dramatic quest.

The character as a whole is fine and I'd be willing to accept him. However, I would really like for you to separate the sections into paragraphs. It is rather difficult to read right now.
