• Golden Eyes in Sunlight, not literally gold all the time. Most people would say they're hazel or amber. However, when sunlight hits them directly, they seem to glow gold for a brief moment. People often find themselves staring without understanding why.
• Violin Calluses. Years of playing have left distinctive calluses on his fingertips. They're a small detail, but one that instantly tells people music is central to his life.
• No matter where he travels or how long he stays indoors, he always looks like he's spent a week under perfect summer weather. Healthy skin, faint freckles, a warm complexion.
• Distinctive Scent: Not perfume. More a subtle scent people notice when close to him: warm cedar, old books, and summer air after rain.[/color]

[color=#DBA901][b]Bio:[/b][/color]
Aleksander "Sasha" Solarczyk was born in Kraków, Poland, and according to his mother, the day had been overcast for nearly a week beforehand, only for the clouds to break apart the moment he was born. It was the sort of story parents told their children for fun, and Sasha never thought much of it.

His childhood was ordinary by most standards. His father worked as an architect, while his mother taught music at a local conservatory. They weren't a wealthy family, but the home was warm and was filled with books, music, and long conversations around the dinner table. Sasha grew up quite inquisitive and learned much about himself and the world.

Music entered his life before he could properly read. At five years old, he began learning the violin. By eight, teachers were describing him as gifted. By twelve, they were calling him exceptional. What unsettled them wasn't merely his talent, but the strange instinct he possessed. Sasha seemed capable of hearing mistakes before they happened. He could anticipate shifts in rhythm and predict where fellow musicians would stumble moments before they did.

Many attributed it to intuition, others simply called it genius.

As he grew older, he became known for more than his music. People trusted him,  strangers opened up to him with alarming ease, friends often joked that he could see through lies, though Sasha himself never knew how to explain it. He simply had a feeling whenever something wasn't true. It wasn't certainty, just an uncomfortable sensation that sat in his chest whenever someone tried to deceive him.

Despite his talent, Sasha resisted opportunities that would tie him down, he was accepted into prestigious music programs which he turned down. He was offered contracts, and he declined. The idea of spending his life inside concert halls and recording studios felt wrong somehow. There was too much of the world left unseen.

Instead, after finishing his studies, he chose a far less conventional path.

He traveled.

For several years he wandered across Europe with little more than a violin case, a backpack, and enough money to survive. He played in city squares, train stations, cafes, and festivals. Sometimes he earned enough for a hotel room. Sometimes he slept in hostels. Sometimes he accepted invitations from people who had heard him play and wanted to share a meal.

His family thought he was wasting his potential. His mother understood, his father never quite did, yet those years became some of the happiest of Sasha's life. He watched sunrises over mountain ranges. Played for crowds that spoke languages he couldn't understand. Shared drinks with strangers who became friends for a night and memories forever. He learned that people were remarkably similar no matter where they came from.

Still, there was always something unusual about his life. Photographers frequently approached him, insisting he looked like he belonged in magazines. Animals seemed unnaturally comfortable around him. His timing bordered on impossible. He often arrived exactly where he needed to be without understanding why he had chosen a particular route or destination.

More than once, he narrowly avoided accidents through little more than instinct. There were moments, too, that unsettled him. Dreams of golden halls. A voice he couldn't quite hear. Fragments of songs that felt impossibly ancient. Visions that disappeared the moment he woke.

He dismissed them as stress, exhaustion, or imagination. What else could they be? The answer arrived without warning.

One evening, while performing for a crowd in a crowded Venetian city square, chaos erupted. The attack came suddenly. Creatures that should not have existed emerged from the shadows. Monstrous forms hidden from the eyes of ordinary mortals. Panic spread through the crowd. Sasha barely had time to react. Then the world disappeared.

Darkness swallowed everything. He found himself standing in an endless void illuminated only by brilliant golden light. A figure stood before him. Radiant, beautiful, and terrifying. The voice that spoke seemed older than history itself.

Apollo.

The god explained only what was necessary. The Titans were stirring, their successors had already begun moving. The chosen heirs of Olympus were awakening. The world stood on the edge of a conflict hidden from mortal eyes.

And Sasha was one of them. A successor, heir, a weapon. The explanation lasted only moments, before then coming instructions.

Find the others and trust your instincts, but do not ignore the call. At this point the light vanishes and Sasha awoke from the trance in the same wincing position, his pendant glowing yellow under his shirt, and a bow and arrow in his hands.


The crowd was still screaming, and the creatures were still moving forward. For the first time in his life, everything made sense. He raised the bow and an arrow appeared perfectly in place within the golden string. He aimed naturally and fired the arrow which burst forward like a firework, leaving a trail of sunfire behind. The other creatures ran off.

Then, when he tried to decide on how to explain a radiant bow it disappeared. It was then Sasha knew that everything was true. He felt like his calling had been figured out. Sasha had spent years building a life defined by freedom, now the fate of the world demanded he surrender it.

And despite every part of him wanting to walk away, to return to the roads, the music, and the life he had chosen for himself. A deeper voice within him already knew he wouldn't. Because if darkness truly was coming, he could no more ignore it than the sun could refuse to rise.
