Do you think the reason Jesus Christ doesn't rise again is because we keep putting up crosses and he gets flashbacks on how that went last time?

I know it took me forever, but I finally finished~



Name: Cerden Celebrindal
Age: 45
Gender: Male

Personality:
While in the empire, Cerden was that kind of guy that always was about the mission and he didn't care what it took to get the job done, as long the mission was completed. In some aspects, Cerden was down-right brutal and above all else, he was completely loyal to the empire. He obeyed every order that The Emperor gave to him, even the ones that caused near genocide to some races. Cerden took it without questioning The Emperor's motives. He was a loyal general, and when something really horrific happened, Cerden's outlook on the empire began to dwindle. His loyalty became faltered and everything that made him who he was began to shift. Cerden questioned everything, but just the little stuff at first, but then that's when his humanity began to surface. He began to show compassion to those wronged and destroyed by the empire. Soon, Cerden began to be sympathetic to the so-called enemies of the empire.

When he defected from the Empire and betrayed his brother, Cerden began to adapt a certain front to himself that slowly went from being aware of the empire's evil ways to doing all that he could to stop them. Of course, his traits of being completely loyal to a cause somewhat dwindled. He now has become more relaxed and easy-going as compared to the past. Some might even say that Cerden has gone into such a way that he is quite lazy. Those people are right, though. He presents himself in a relaxed-like manner. Though, that's only cause the last ten years have taught him that life was short and that being super-serious all the time ruins one's complexion and outlook on life. Speaking of which, his has changed as he tries to enjoy himself more. Still, he will turn his fighting mode on should the situation call for it.

When one gets past that all, Cerden is driven by what he must fix. He betrayed his brother and he feels now that he must fix it. This has caused a certain edge to Cerden to be clouded underneath his relaxed and almost lazy-like mannerisms. Underneath that all, he is focused beyond belief, so don't let his near-unmotivated front confuse ya.

Appearance:

Cerden has a rather tall frame. His height borders almost seventy-seven inches, which averages around six feet and five inches. His weight matches his height perfectly and it comes at just over two-hundred-and-fifty pounds. Or if someone is going by the kilogram system, it’s just past one-hundred-and-ten kilograms. With that in mind, it should be no surprise that Cerden’s build is definitely muscular, but it’s nowhere near the level of being bulky. Some might even say that his build represents that of an top-notch athlete or something of the like.

Cerden’s non-build features are as to be expected. His skin tone is definitely human and it’s of a creamy mocha color. Of course, his age shows as his skin shows aging, but for his age, it seems to be on a rather attractive note. His eyes are piercing red, showing the feeling of seriousness and a huge undertone of relaxed. His hair is around shoulder-length, to which he keeps flowing straight. His hair is of silver and white shade. It’s hard to tell the difference between the two, though.

Cerden’s attire isn’t really anything to out of the ordinary. Actually, it’s quite simple when one really thinks about it. He wears a matching longcoat and pants along with boots and gloves all black and grey throughout. Each are tied down by several belt-like materials of dark brown color. Underneath it all, however, he has lines that seem random go all around his body, his lower half, upper half, face — everywhere has these lines connecting and making new lines.

Faction:

A former general of The Empire, now a neutral party. He will sometimes take part in what the Unbound Hearts are doing, but for the most part, Cerden is a guy who is neutral and only after one thing: His brother, Nomis.

Weapon:

Brother's Requiem - For weapon image, see character appearance.
Once belonging to his father and forged with magic-infused titanium, Cerden's two weapons take the form of a normal-sized sword and a short sword/long dagger. Both are identical to each other in every way and they appear to be two halves of the same weapon. The obvious difference is that one is shorter than the other. Still, that doesn't disprove the fact that they seem like to be two halves of the same thing. Cerden carries — and uses both — with great pride. It's the one thing that he can smile happily about his memories of his late father.

Powers/Abilities:

Glass Manipulation

Much like his adopted brother, Nomis, who can manipulate a special kind of metal called Taint, Cerden can manipulate glass. Some call it just a sub-power of Sand Manipulation or Earth Manipulation. Those people are correct, but Cerden can bypass the traditional means of creating glass through hardening sand. He can create glass from his own magic. He can manipulate pre-existing glass and expand it to whatever he desires. Cerden has also been known to multiply the amount of glass that he can create or manipulate. He’s even shown to be able to create constructs of glass or surround it around his weapons or even his body, which he refers to as Glass Armor. Cerden can also move the glass with his mind and even shape it to which he can ride it as if like air or water. He can also breakdown glass into shards and guide them where he desires it to go.

Cerden’s skill with Glass has been acclaimed by not only his brother, but his associates that they dare not anger him cause the amount of usage and the potency of it is all tied to his emotional state. If in a good mood, his powers are more stable and he is in control of how much goes into one attack. However, if his mood is anything but that, then all hell breaks loose. His glass becomes rough-around-the-edges, which is not a good thing considering that rough glass cuts through solid materials like it’s butter and it doesn’t leave a clean aftermath either. Usually, shit will get real bloody real fast.

Due to an accident that happened when Cerden and Nomis were in their youth, the latter brother's Taint MEtal worked its way into the influence of Cerden's Glass, which started to slowly affect the maximum potency of his glass manipulation power. At least, the way he's able to use it. Though, Cerden is not aware of this fact. As far as Cerden knows, he doesn't have full-mastery of his power. Of course, that is not the case.

Expert Tactician and Strategist

Due to his long stint in The Empire, Cerden has shown that he is able to plan ahead of his opponents, which was one of the main reasons that The Empire first got him. Of course, it was cause of what he did with his brother, Nomis, but that’s irrelevant to this specific skill of his. He’s also been very aware of what his opponent would do before they would do it and be able to come up with complex plans that would more or less ensure his victory. He can also adapt to almost every situation in the event that the original plan he set in motion doesn’t go as had set it to be.

During his time with The Empire, it was being this good at coming up with plans that he was no doubt one of their top generals, just because he had such prowess of coming up with full-proof plans. It might even be why he has a big bounty on his head cause he was such a big asset to The Empire. While that’s true, anyone he aligns himself with knows his face and they know of his abilities in this area.

Supernatural Condition

Some say that Cerden’s feats of physical prowess stems from his foster father experimenting on him or just a natural gift that he’s had since birth. Some say that he came into contact with supernatural forces somewhere down the road. Whatever it might be, it all comes to the very fact that Cerden’s physical prowess is unlike that of any normal human being or anything. His body has been forged to exceed human limits and as such, every ounce of strength, endurance, and other such things are at a level that is, quite literally, supernatural and unheard of. The range of his supernatural feats can go form being able to react faster to almost anything to being able to last longer in a fight than most. It even goes into how he fights with weapons, specifically bladed weapons. Just about everyone one can imagine that has been upgraded to the supernatural level, odds are it is.

Strong Alignment to Earth Magic

Possibly due to his Glass Manipulation power or just his overall connection to the earth, but Cerden has proven capable with Earth Magic and/or manipulating the earth with his magic. Though he seems to be not as well versed in this type as he is in Glass Manipulation, it’s still pretty high up there and he uses it quite often in battle.

Healing Magic

More of a necessity for Cerden. Since he has been on the run from The Empire, he had to learn how to heal his injuries that of which his supernatural body could not. As such, he took up healing magic. He isn’t able to heal wounds that would put him on death’s door, but he is able to use it to such a length that allows him to be out of harms way.

Bio:

Haunted by a dark past and grave mistakes he has made, Cerden tries as much as he can to fix them, which has sent him on a quest to undo said mistakes. To do that, he will have to find the one person he must fix even if it costs him his life.
As they would leave, Jaakuna smiled at them as the light from the Beaming Station would transport them away. Emiri would then look to him and say that the wreath was working. Jaakuna was so happy to hear that. He wanted to hug her right then and there, but she would go on and say that, little by little, her memories were coming back. Emiri then began to list off the memories that were coming back. First she mentioned her father and mother hopefully the good memories of your mom.. Then she said about her engagement to Grant. Yeah, those weren't fun times.. Emiri then said about how she ran away and the hardships as a hunter that came from it. She would pause, but then would state that she was also remembering how they met and made a comment about how funny fate was.

Jaakuna looked at her smiling. "I'm happy that your memories are coming back." Jaakuna told her. "It seems like a world ago when we first met. You were different, I was different. Just everything was so different." Jaakuna said laughing lightly.

Jaakuna found himself reminiscing about the past and just how everything changed when he met Emiri and by extension, Nadeline and Grant. Though, the first time that he met Nadeline wasn't a good experience, Grant either. Hell, even meeting Wesley for the first time wasn't a good experience. Reuniting with Savayna was not a fun experience for him at the time. Jaakuna was in such deep thought that he had the most serious expression on his face and he was silent for about three minutes, not even noticing that Emiri was right next to him.
As they waved bye to Emiri and Jaakuna for the time being, the group touched ground and from where they were, it was only twenty miles away from Giruvegan's gate. "I guess we should not waste any time." Wesley said to the group.
As the ten minutes would come to an end, the group would all head to the Beaming Station, with Emiri and Jaakuna seeing them off. Wesley knew that this trip to Giruvegan would be a bit more difficult than the last trip. Granted, the last trip wasn’t easy since Jaakuna was hearing voices then. This time around, it would be just as difficult as they were going to venture into The Great Crystal, which according to the various rumors, was like an endless maze to those who did not know how to navigate. Considering that no one has lived to tell the tale of coming from Giruvegan, it just made going into it all the more dangerous.

“Well, I guess we’re going now.” Wesley said as he patted his sword and made sure it was secure.

Savayna smiled. “Make sure to hold down the fort.” She said to Jaakuna smirking.

Jaakuna smirked back. “You better make it back in one piece. I’d hate to have to get rid of all your dresses.” Jaakuna joked, but probably a bad one.
When Grant explained how exactly the events led up to Emiri losing her memory, she would just look at him. She would not say anything. All Savayna would do was listen and let him finish. She really didn’t know what to say to it. Sure, she could make some snarky remark or just something that was funny, but she didn’t. Savayna just looked at him as she clearly saw a distraught and, well lost Grant. She saw that he truly felt like it was his fault that he couldn‘t convince her to stay on the Ifrit, that he lost her in the sandstorm, and that she was forced to use her powers, which led to her esper, Chaos, to wipe her slate clean.

Savayna, not even saying a single word, walked into Grant’s personal space, and she hugged him. She would wrap her arms around him, and rest her head on her chest. “It’s okay. “ That’s all she said. She just wanted to let her actions speak louder than her words.
As Grant told Savayna about what he did in Stigma, he would inform her about how there was an explosion in Stigma's magicite mine of Anther and how Emiri's father was stationed there. He would also tell her that Emiri's father was barely alive. Instantly, Savayna felt bad for Emiri. That was when Grant said that he thought that Emiri deserved to know, but was hesitant to tell her about it cause of what happened. He also mentioned that he told Jaakuna. Savayna could only imagine how that went for him. Still, she would look at him.

"I think until she can get her memories back, it's best not to tell her." Savayna said, "Though, I wish to know how Jaakuna took it. I could only imagine he was pretty pissed about it and I'm not just talking about the explosion." Savayna said, obviously hinting to how Emiri's memory was gone and it was under Grant's watch.
Savayna just smiled and laughed as Grant would just go on and on about what would have happened. She would just let him finish as she looked at him with a smirk. Once he finished, she spoke. "Just calm it down, Grant." She said placing both hands on both of his shoulders. "I'm not mad, not at all. Honestly, if I were in your position, I would have kept the secret too." She told him, probably reassuring his obvious nervousness about the topic and smiling at him and for a moment she just stared at him. For that one moment, it was silent, just a chilling stare and then she closed her eyes. "Besides, I know that you would never keep a secret from me in fear of what would happen to you." She said as she roughly patted his shoulders and kiss him on the cheek.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Savayna said to Grant.

Huffing in annoyance, Savayna knew that Grant was right. Still, of the time that all of them have been living on the Ifrit together, she would think that her...affection towards Nadeline would have at least toned down to levels that she would be able to not fight with her every second. Gods know that when they first met, they fought all the damn time. Still, perhaps what she said to Nadeline was a little harsh. Perhaps she should apologize or maybe she should just leave Nadeline alone for the time being.

"So, I know you knew about Emiri's and JAakuna's problem, and that wonder boy made you promise to keep it a secret." Savayna said looking at Grant.
When Nadeline looked at him, Wesley just smiled. She would state how embarrassing it was for her to be in the condition that she was in. Wesley would notice that she wiped whatever tears she had with her sleave and as if on that very moment, she pulled him in for a hug and she would mumble some words. Wesley closed his eyes and embraced her slightly tighter into the hug. "Never again." He simply said, telling her he will never keep any truths from her, no matter how dire or whatever.
As Savayna would walk down the hallway, and went down some, she would run into Grant and she just sighed. "Boy oh boy, your niece can get under my skin sometimes." She said sighing again, but this time much louder than before.
While WEsley was gathering his things for the trip to The Great Crystal in Giruvegan, Grant would tap him on his shoulder and ask him to patch things up with Nadeline. Wesley looked at him with unsure eyes. "I-I don't think she wants to, Grant." Wesley said as he was about eighty percent sure that he was right. That's when Grant would request it as a favor to him. Wesley looked at Grant. "I'll try." Wesley simply said as he went towards the Supply Room.

When Wesley neared to the door, he heard some kind of noise. He would place his head gently against the door and he heard...crying. Instantly, WEsley opened the door as he turned the nob, and the door opened. He saw Nadeline hugging her knees, head buried into them, and she was crying. Without any thought or hesitation, Wesley practically dragged his feet on the floor, went to his knees and looked at Nadeline, hand on her cheek. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked her.
Savayna smiled in an amused way as NAdeline would flat out demand Savayna to show her respect. It was quite funny to Savayna. She knew that Nadeline always had this shallowness about her, but she thought that the princess would have eased up on it. Maybe it was the day and how it proceeded or maybe it was just her realizing her true colors. Regardless, Savayna would smile still and speak.

"Oh is that so?" Savayna said smirking still, "why do you think I should?" Savayna asked, "Do you think you're entitled to any of my respect? There have only been a few times where you've saved any of us, but that's only through your white magic." Savayna stated as she would once again tap Nadeline's chest, but this time she would continue walking thus making Nadeline go backwards more. "You claim that you view any of us as your dear friends and that you'll do anything to protect us, but that's a lie, ain't it, Nadeline?" Savayna said still doing her previous action. "You're still the same selfish, petty princess that you always have been You think you're entitled to respect cause of your status as a princess!?" By this point the anger in Savayna grew, and she would shove Nadeline to her butt. "Time for a reality check, your highness!" At this point, Savayna practically shouted. "If you want my respect, then GROW UP! Show that you're not just a weak little girl and not some spoiled rich girl that thinks she's entitled to everything!" Savayna had said her piece and left Nadeline alone with all the words that the former general had spoke as she opened the door and walked out. Hopefully it would sink in. If it didn't, then Savayna knew that none of them(the party) would be able to live on the ship with each other for much longer.
