[Eamon]

Appearance

✨Basics✨

Race: Ethaefal
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Birthday: 1st of Summer 505AV
Birthplace: Riverfall

✨Description✨

In his human guise, which only appears under Syna’s light, Eamon is a fairly typically looking Svefra. He is 6’ exactly, with normally pale skin that has been tanned by many hours spent in Syna’s rays. His hair is bleached blonde, and kept short and spiky, usually unkempt. Eamon is lean but lightly muscled. He typically doesn’t care much about his appearance mostly because his other form is so beautiful that it doesn’t seem worth it to try and make his Svefra self more attractive. His most distinctive features are his blue eyes, blue like clear skies. They stand out in his face with its square chin, strong nose, and high forehead. His face is more likely to show smile and laugh lines than frown lines, although he does have a nasty habit of furrowing his brow when he is concentrating hard on something.

All that changes after the sun sets and moonlight touches the land. Then, his transformation is remarkable. He gains a few inches in height, growing to 6’3’’, which is the least remarkable of the changes. His skin pales, and starts to shimmer like opals or moonlight. Eamon’s eyes deepen to a shade of indigo that sparkles in the light. He has the horns typical of his race. They curve outward from either side of his temple, until they point towards each other above his head. They are about half a foot in length, all told, and definitely the most distinctive part of his appearance. These horns shift with the seasons, becoming violet in the Winter, shockingly white like polished bone in the Spring, a pale green the color of new leaves in the Summer, and finally a deep yellow in the Fall. His hair doesn’t grow in length, but changes colors, much like his hair, becoming almost pure black in the Summer, a fiery orange in the Fall, a shimmering silver in the Winter, and finally a silvery blue in the Spring. While his features don’t change, they become suffused with the natural beauty that all Ethaefal posses, coming into sharper clarity and fusing together more smoothly.

Character Concept

✨Broad Strokes✨

Eamon is a mostly happy explorer. He is often restless, not wanting to be found in one spot for too long. While many of his kin rage against Syna and Leth for allowing them to slip out of the home they’d had beside them, Eamon has never blamed his patrons for his fall. Instead, he understands that there are some problems that are beyond even the gods. He is actually a little fanatical in his faith to Syna and Leth, as well as his other adopted God, Laviku. Still being young, with no memory of his life before his fall, Eamon tends to be a bit too curious, trusting, and naïve for his own good, trusting others too quickly. He is quick to offer a hand in aid, but highly reluctant to ask for help on his own. Eamon abhors violence, being a healer by nature, which leaves him slightly vulnerable to those who might seek to harm him. Also, he harbors a love for the sea, stemming from his past as a Svefra which he has gladly reclaimed. This also means he doesn’t necessarily respect others’ space and property, and this occasionally leads him to experience some trouble. He has inherited their love of life and their attempts to seek joy wherever it can be found. He also gained their penchant for sometimes reckless and careless behavior. Eamon has a respect for life, but as he spent some time growing up on the Suvan Sea, he is also more than aware of the danger that nature brings to those who don’t respect it.

Character History

✨Past✨

At the beginning of the Summer of 505AV, Eamon splashed down in the spectacular fashion known to Ethaefal in the rather aptly named Plunge Pool Bay. Immediately recognized as one of Leth’s children, friendly Akalaks took in the Ethaefal and gave the newly reborn Eamon a place to stay and rediscover the world. One of these Akalaks was a potter and Eamon found him fascinated how the lowly clay could be fashioned into so many shapes and formed. It was as changeable as he felt he was. Eamon eagerly absorbed what he could of Riverfall culture and well as the skills embraced by the Akalaks. Upon discovering his apparent Svefra heritage, Eamon eagerly embraced this part of his past. Spending time around the priests and priestesses of Laviku’s Tower, as well as the fisherman of the docks, Eamon longed to wander the waves himself, although he didn’t necessarily have the skills to do it properly.

Luck would have it though, as the Svefra often visited the city of Riverfall to trade and restock their goods. The Tidechaser pod was one such family, and though initially reluctant to take on the recently born and completely unskilled Ethaefal, Eamon’s enthusiasm eventually managed to win them over and he was accepted onto their ships. He spent many years with them, learning of their history and culture and exploring his love of the sea.

He grew especially close with the matriarch and lia of the Tidechaser pod, Alesa Tidechaser. This elderly woman worked as the ship’s doctor, and though she was near the end of her life, she accepted Eamon as if he was one of her own children or numerous grandchildren, at least once he won passage aboard her ship, Tide’s Glory. She began instructing him in the basics of her art, for although the Svefra were blessed with the bounty of the sea, they were also cursed with the dangers that presented, and many injuries, both major and minor, passed through Alesa’s gnarled hands. Eamon soaked it up eagerly, craving the acceptance that he’d found and the knowledge she provided. He spent many years with her and her family, growing wise with the knowledge that only the Svefra possess. She also, when she trusted him further, began to induct him into her more mystical arts, showing him the very basics of Spiritsm. As the leader of her pod, she was, after all, responsible for the souls as well as the bodies of her kin, although she didn’t bring this up as much as her other skills. Eamon soaked this up as eagerly as all the rest of the knowledge she imparted, although he was only taught the very basics of this particular art. Her intention had been for Eamon to become her apprentice of sorts, although as a man and an Ethaefal he could never reach her level of status.

However, all good things come to an end, and eventually Alesa passed from this world to the next, where Eamon could not follow. He mourned for her, both alone and with her whole family. With her loss, Eamon felt himself growing restless again, not wanting to stay in a place that used to hold so many good memories but now was poisoned by loss. He had to find someplace new, where he could restart his life. He returned to Riverfall, remembering his early days fondly, but it wasn’t the same as he’d remembered from his metaphorical childhood. Still, he stayed there, trying to hone his skill and find a new place to embark.

Eventually, he found out about the relatively young settlement of Syka, where adventurers looking for a fresh start often went, trying to shake off the ills of their past. As Eamon had no knowledge of the jungle, he spent some time reading and learning about at least the basics of the dangers that he might be facing. Finally, he felt prepared, and he departed for the sands of Syka, excited for this blank chapter in his life. He’d be forging a path very few had before him.
