[indent][indent]Eiden is always wearing a hood. The cowl droops over his forehead, obscuring the white bandages that cross over it. Beneath them lies a red narrow gem. His hair is a cinnamon brown with some layers bladed and mimicking the feathers one might find on a bird. His skin is tanned and eyes a dark, wine-red. His countenance, though unusual, when not hidden within his hood, it is youthful and boyish. There is a kindness that gleams in his ruby-red eyes and his lips are touched with the hint of a smile. Eiden’s build is lean and cut. His muscles smoothly defined down to his feet from a healthy diet and regular exercise. With his gentle face, one could not imagine it ever being wrinkled with rage. When anger does take hold of him—as rare as that ever would be—one might have thought they were gazing upon someone else. His welcoming and warm presence becomes cold and rigid with tension. Seeing the peaceful SOLDIER having a 180 would bother anyone.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]Eiden considers himself a saint and is a believer in a greater entity. He believes the Carbuncle imbued in his body has purified his spirit and placed his soul in eternal peace. For this, Eiden is calm and patient. He is normally mild-mannered and always kind and polite even when such manners are not returned. He does not try to forcefully convert others for they can witness his miracles and decide then if they wish to believe. While Eiden does not deem himself to be perfect, he strives to always improve. He cares for others and will protect the weak even if against orders because it is the right thing to do. Eiden does not tolerate evil or ill-will in his presence. He is a protector of innocents no matter how subjective “innocents” may be. This attitude may make him naïve at times and easily deceived by False Ones.

As a SOLDIER, Eiden does not utilize full lethality. He will support his team and use harmless methods to incapacitate enemies. Only a great evil could compel Eiden to draw his swords; and when Eiden is faced with true evil, his wrath is truly frightening. The SOLDIER is not easily offended by insults or jabs at his character. His metaphorical tough skin is near impenetrable. His presence could calm those who are angered or troubled, and if they wish to listen to his advice, they might find true relief whether being a believer or not. While Eiden may expend his efforts to heal and protect others, who will protect him?

[indent][indent]Eiden was once born in Gatrea and was once a man of the Fayth. He and his parents were blessed to serve under a pious government mandated by the heavens. Eiden studied to become a priest and when he was ten-years-old, he heard his Calling. His parents didn’t once contemplate the dangers of releasing their only child into the wilderness. The spirits were summoning him, and their will would not go unmet. Eiden went on his pilgrimage to the Temple of Fayth and faced many challenges to his faith and devotion. He was nearly killed by beasts, frozen to death, and starved. It was the strength of his faith that drove him to the summit where ten robed priests looked on at the thin and gaunt boy that managed to stagger toward their steps. Since that day, Eiden remained at the temple as a priest, expanding his knowledge of the teachings and growing closer to a nirvana.

At eighteen-years-old, the Temple felt that Eiden was prepared to mission. He was to journey to Cressia and visit the North and South, spreading the Fayth to the sinners who indulged in hedonism. While there, Eiden learned of the Aeon Craters, land formations he had never heard of. They were nests for the devils, and he sought permission to venture to one of the craters as a test of his faith. The Temple was hesitant at first. Aeons were dangerous and their evil could corrupt him; but if the Fayth priests could prove for certain that the Aeons were truly evil, then many would flood to the Fayth for spiritual protection. Through cooperation between Gatrea and Cressia, Eiden was permitted to visit the crater by Regent escort.

When Eiden and the Regent returned from the crater, Eiden felt his faith to have been changed. What he had seen overwhelmed and amazed him, and terrified him all the same. He left Cressia back to Gratea and wandered the wilderness, battling his very conscience. He wept out of fear of his morphing faith. It couldn’t be true that everything he thought about Aeons were lies! The Aeons could not have been evil. They represented the very White and Black Spirits the Fayth worshipped! His thoughts were blasphemous, and the longer he stayed a hermit in the wilderness, the more his parents grew worried about him and the Temple suspicious. After disappearing for two years, Eiden returned to his family no longer wearing priestly robes. He was dressed more like a monk, and he shared with them what he had been doing. Alone and with the spirits, he told them that they had shown him the true path to salvation and he had written their words in a book. His parents unable to listen to Eiden’s blasphemy barred him from their home. Without a residence to call his own, Eiden traveled the continent, spreading allegories about the truth and sharing his experiences. He shared his scriptures with the people and news of the blasphemy bombarded the Temple like shells.

The Temple was shocked to learn that a mad man spreading sacrilege about the faith just so happened to be one of their most devoted priests. Fayth priests were sent in disguise to see if the rumors were true and dressed as commoners they found Eiden teaching an audience from children to adults about the Fayth and Aeons. The priests confronted Eiden in secret, demanding that he stop and return to the Temple so that they could forgive him of his sins and purify his spirit. Eiden refused and was [s]threatened[/s] warned that the Temple would not allow him to continue. Eiden was unafraid, and a naïve fool. One eve during his travels between towns, he was surrounded by numerous military vehicles. Their high beams are all that he can remember before his life changed forever.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent]Eiden rarely ever demonstrates his true strength. It is his morals and ethics which keep him from doing so. The fear of killing someone and lowering himself to the level of evil. He appears similar to a monk. A vermilion drape with golden stitchings of swirling vines and flowers is coiled about a medium, scaled chest plate of mythril and greaves. A gold cloth sash wraps about his waist, with cream-white silk trim, and Galban lily stitching. His pants are white-cotton. Leather shoe straps wind up his calves with strips of bamboo guarding his shins beneath them. A cowl is always draped about his head and a necklace with brown wooden beads hangs from his sash. The beads bear the arcane symbols for each of the elements that balance the universe. His weapon is a wooden staff with a bronze swirling coat. The weapon is surprisingly sturdy for being made of wood and bronze, and its weight is oddly heavy to be only such. Within the staff are two three-foot twin blades. They are crossed within the wood and are drawn when Eiden grasps the center of his staff and separates it. Like his scale armor, the blades are mythril, and are highly-attuned to his magic.

On the battlefield, Eiden surveys, watching the enemy and his team and making sure everyone returns alive. He will risk his life to not only save members of his team but for complete strangers, which can be a problem when the mission is priority. His magic protects, comforts, and soothes. His power is amplified by the gear he wears, and even without the mythril, there is a unique trait that puts Eiden’s healing magic above most. It could possibly be the ruby on his forehead.
 
Eiden appears to be a soft target, playing his support role, but enemies will find that the patient and smiling SOLDIER is quite capable of defending himself. After all, he is a SOLDIER. Eiden uses non-lethal methods to incapacitate his enemies and won’t ever show lethality unless there were no other option. Therefore, his twin blades are rarely drawn not even for utility purposes.[/indent]
 
[indent][indent][sub][color=00a99d]S E N T I N E L[/color] [all, defense, buff] A red light will emanate beneath the bandages on Eiden’s forehead. Closing his eyes, he will raise his arms, holding his staff horizontally before him. An eldritch gale swirls at his feet, tossing the loose layers of his clothes, and those within 25 meters of his being will be encased in a teal-green bubble that vanishes from sight after a few seconds. With his power, Eiden bolsters the physical and magic defenses of the group affected. The buff will remain for as long as Eiden isn’t interrupted from meditation. He will remain in meditation until awoken by another or an event. Sentinel only works if the group is within 25 meters of him before they run off. Its affects cannot reach those outside of its range.[/sub][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][sub][color=00a99d]S A N C T U A R Y[/color] [all, health regen] Eiden will extend his fore and middle fingers, touching the center of his head where his ruby would be. Flowers will sprout from the earth within 10 meters of his being and any who rest in the enchanting flowerbed notice their ailments melting away. His holy energy warms the body and soothes the mind for as long as Eiden remains in meditation. If Eiden is interrupted or disturbed from his meditation, the healing spell will fade.[/sub][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][sub][color=00a99d]C E L E R I T Y[/color] [single, haste] Does time freeze or is the individual moving so fast that the world around him or her is slowed. The affect lasts for 10 seconds and Eiden can only cast it on an individual to include himself if he must elude an enemy.[/sub][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][sub][color=00a99d]R E F L E C T I O N[/color] [all, reflect, magic] Eiden brings his palms together in prayer. His prayer beads hang off his extended thumbs as he closes his eyes, and unfolding from his being is a doppelganger mimicking his pose. The two Eidens remain facing each other in prayer while a silver thread of light traces a reflective orb about the party. Party members must be within 25 meters of Eiden to receive the protection. Reflection only repels magical assaults. It does not reflect physical attacks and once one magical attack is reflected, the barrier shatters like glass, exposing the SOLDIER once more.[/sub][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][sub][color=7bcdc8]CARBUNCLE[/color]/White
     Protection, order, law, justice, peace and morality[/sub]
[indent]The divine creature is a teal guardian and protector, always leading one out of darkness and back into the light of clarity. Carbuncle heals and repels evil, shrouding those deserving of its compassion in security. Mined from the mountains of Aster, the Carbuncle was discovered by accident when a miner uncovered a large, mystical ruby. DNA synchronizing with no resistance, the SOLDIER becomes a saint.[/indent][/indent][/indent]

Eiden reaches up to remove the bandages that hide the ruby at the center of his skull. The power no longer bound etches a white magic circle beneath Eiden’s feet and excites a gale to stir about him. From behind him, a fan of glowing white fox tails unfurl as Eiden’s eyes explode with radiance. As though a divine hand takes hold of him, light continues to leave his eyes and mouth as the gale grows stronger, lifting him into the air as though possessed. The lights collide like stars above him to form a gleaming circular gateway. The tails fire like rockets at all enemies, engulfing them in a translucent cloak of light. Divine trumpets blare in celebration from the heavenly gate, filling the enemies with joy and elation as they are drawn toward salvation. The gateway suddenly then eclipses as the gates are closed to them. Terrified and agonizing screams pour from the black hole as the enemies are sucked into oblivion. The gate winks out of existence and Eiden is left to collapse upon the ground, his bandages snaking around his head to once again bind his gem.
