Acetyl Realic

Acetyl Realic is a character from the Militia plane and is part of the Day Squad team.

Background
Acetyl became great friends with Dede toward his early twenties. The two of them would get to know one another mostly during out-of-work hours as Dede and Acetyl had separate jobs on the field, meaning that they would rarely cross paths whilst working. Later on, Acetyl was to begin developing a romantic attraction toward Dede, but these feelings were unfortunately not returned.

Misinterpreting Jake and Dede’s friendship for romance, Acetyl showed a distinct hatred toward Jake, his heart engulfed with a sickening jealousy. In reality, Jake was not interested in making advances on Dede, wishing for nothing more than friendship.

Throughout Acetyl’s mid-twenties his career took a sharp turn as he got to know a particular individual referred to as Dylan. Dylan convinced Acetyl to try some milweed for the first time one night, just to ease his emotional troubles in regard to Dede. Acetyl had no idea what he was getting himself into. From just a few enjoyable nights with Dylan and a variety of drugs to melt away the blues, Acetyl began to crave the high that milweed gave him. Acetyl’s life began spiralling into darkness as his mental health depleted even further, his brain developing a dependency for milweed. Whenever Acetyl was not abusing milweed, the world to him was colourless, painful and terrifying. He felt as if he needed that high to breathe properly, let alone even function correctly at his job.

Promising a great reward of milweed for the body, Dylan made a request that Acetyl was to assassinate Jake, who was allegedly filing an anonymous report against the crimes that Dylan was found committing. That year, on the 24th of December, Acetyl committed manslaughter on his comrade, no longer driven by jealousy, only by the sheer desperation to get his hands on the very drug that fuelled his existence.
