Experiencing that feeling when absolutely no game is satisfying to play and all you do is watch videos on youtube and streams on twitch -.- I feel so unproductive.

Revising the wonders of a horribly inefficient murderer with a horribly inefficient weapon.
Aeden's attention eventually shifted to the pair in an embrace. As Lynn introduced herself he could tell they were strangers. He crossed his arms as eventually Nailah turned her attention away from Lynn and let go. He smiled briefly at Nailah's compliment, but his expression returned to neutral fairly quickly as he noticed from the defensive posture of Lynn that Nailah's embrace may very well have been an assault. He could tell that at the very least she was unused to such aggressive physical affection. His eyes settled on Lynn with a calm expression. He did not owe her anything, but few things in this world were as unforgivable as unwanted sexual assault.
"Are you alright?" Having been forced by the Therosi to breed with other races, Aeden had great empathy for such reactions. He imagined she would respond in the positive as it seemed no harm had been done, however one could never assume, and so a confirmation would clear everything up. In the instance she is not alright he would see about getting an appropriate apology from Nailah.
Nyph plodded up to Nailah and looked up at her. "You seem really friendly, Nailah! Do you hug all strangers like that?" He finished his question with a curious head tilt.
”Boss,” Aeden heard Nyph’s energetic and slightly pleased voice.”Something is wrong!”
Aeden’s companion landed next to him and kept pace with him on the road. They had been traveling some time after accepting the call to meet and work with the Alliance. This was the farthest east they had ever been. Overall, the trip had been fairly smooth with the worst thing being travel and the occasional evasion of risky-looking caravans. Hearing those three words from Nyph really worried him now that they were minutes from Pearl.
Aeden frowned as he looked down the road to the city in the horizon. ”What did you see?”
”Plants!” Nyph jumped into the air and flew ahead some short distance. His constantly cheerful tone always conflicted with the severity of most situations. ”Scary plants! Not normal plants! They’re attacking the city!”
Aeden cursed under his breath. He was already later than he wanted to be and now that the city was under an attack he found himself running toward the city. He could only imagine the reaction of the city folks to a full-blooded Seraphim coming to their aid. Well, he did respond to the request, so it was likely some would be expecting him.
At the pace he could keep up, Aeden made the rest of the trip fairly quickly. He halted at the outskirts of Pearl to witness an incredible overgrowth taking over portions of the city. If thousands of years had passed with no one maintaining the city this was how he pictured it would look. He knew that this must have happened recently because some of the vines were still growing and rapidly.
”Damnit,” Aeden drew his sword and dashed toward the closest vine to chop into it. ”What have I gotten myself into?"
”Good hit!” Nyph soared overhead to act as his usual role as a cheery scout. ”Whoa! It looks like we have a lot of work ahead of us! Oooo there’s a lot of blood!”
As the huge plant tendril slid limply down down the wall of the building Aeden checked his blade and clicked his tongue. He sliced through the overgrowth as he called out to Nyph. ”Give me directions, Nyph.”
”Yep!" The pseudodragon cheerfully replied. ”Looks like they fought a tough one! Once you cut through that one there’s a road! Oh! I see a group of a few people! And a dragon! They don’t look like they’re fighting. They’re hugging!”
Aeden sighed as he sliced through some writhing plants and stepped onto the road. He saw a lot of blood and the corpse of a massive plant creature. He stepped up to the scene and noticed the tell tale signs of blood magic. Other magic traces including the plants themselves nearly obscured the traces, but he could never forget what he went through when he was a slave of the Therosi. He could never forget the rituals and what the traces looked like, especially with his Divine Sight. He wanted to be able to differentiate other types of magic, but he just had not been able to train it.
He had other jobs to do than chase down a wounded blood mage. He knew just how dangerous they could be, and he was not prepared for such a hunt. Aeden looked up at Nyph who was soaring above. ”Nyph, where is the group?”
”This way!"
Aeden followed Nyph to another part of the city not far from the corpse of the forest beast.
”See! I found them! A dragon and hugging people and there are others! Wait… The dragon isn’t there anymore! There are a couple missing too." If Nyph didn’t sound so excited all the time he would have come across as disappointed.
Aeden sheathed his sword as he could see things were beginning to settle down. ”Thanks, Nyph. Great work.” His eyes settled on the center of the small group. ”It seems I’ve missed quite a lot. My name is Aeden Demavend, and I am here in response to the quest. Who is in charge here?”
Nyph landed next to Aeden with a soft thud. ”I’m Nyph!” Nyph spotted the dragon flying above the city. ”Oh wow! That’s where the big guy flew off to!” @13org@Jollan@Brithwyr@Rai
Name: Aeden Demavend Age: 39 Bloodline: Pure Seraphim
Appearance: Aeden’s eyes are a stunning electric blue and a halo of the same color. His black hair only serves to accent the attention grabbing factor of those two features. He bears scars up and down his wrists from a failed suicide as well as all over his body from Therosi rituals. In spite of his scars and his physique his skin retains a very healthy appearance likely due to his bloodline. He has feathered ethereal wings that are the same color as his eyes and halo.
Group: Member of the Aion and Former Slave of the Therosi
Physique: Having been kept as a vessel for many Therosi blood rituals for the first half of his life Aeden’s phsyical development is somewhat stunted. He stands shorter than average with a lean build.
Extraordinary Pain Tolerance: Many of the rituals Aeden suffered through were agonizing. Due to the rarity of his bloodline the blood ritualists were incentivised to keep him alive, however that did little to reduce the often grand cruelty they put him through. Eventually he became so used to pain that only the worst of wounds or the proper amount of blood loss will slow him down.
Divine Grace: Some are blessed with strength, and some wisdom. Aeden has an almost unnatural grace to his movements. While this certainly aids his ability to avoid being struck by your average soldier the greatest strength of this ability is that it allows for ease of movement in even the most difficult terrain and it allows for him to maintain a light step granting him a good advantage with the stealthy approach.
Divine Sight: Aeden’s eyes allow him to see magical effects that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. He cannot be blinded magically, and can see magically obscured objects, although with enough magic covering the object he may not have a clear view of whatever object he can see.
Bad Juju: Having suffered at the hands of Blood Ritualists and their spells Aeden is able to instantly recognize blood magic in almost all of its forms except those that require an entire life. He can also recognize any object used specifically for such rituals and their purpose.
Blessed Spear: Aeden can conjure a spear of divine energy that he can use as a weapon that acts normally against most foes and is super effective against undead and Chaos-born monsters. He can throw said spear, but it will not maintain a solid and harmful form for more than thirty paces away from him. As an extra benefit it can be used as a torch. Soul - 7
Cure Wounds: Awakened upon his one and only attempted suicide, Aeden’s desire to live proved to be stronger than his wish to die. So long as he focuses his ability on one person he can quickly heal wounds with more severe injuries taking longer than minor wounds. Unfortunately, he could not hide this ability from the slavers and they took advantage of it to bleed him more aggressively than ever before. Minor at first, after his rescue the Aion trained him the best they could to get it to a proper cure spell. Stamina +10 Soul - 5
Protection From Chaos: As a member of the Aion, Aeden has learned how to cast a ward that protects a person or object from the effects and minions of Chaos. The protection is not perfect, however it prevents mental manipulation, protects from most Chaos spells by either reducing their effect or stopping them completely depending on their power, and it prevents physical bodily contact from the minions and monsters of Chaos. The spell lasts for an hour, but if worn down enough the effect can end sooner. Soul - 7
Nyph the Pseudodragon
Nyph is a trickster with good intentions that Aeden rescued from a slaver early on in his time with the Aion. The pseudodragon made the decision to adopt the young Seraphim and stick around to provide a cheerful companionship as well as a helpful friend. Nyph is about the size of a small dog which is quite standard for a pseudodragon. He is equipped with a stinger that can put a target to sleep, and can camouflage with natural and some simple constructed terrain. Even though he is a dragon other dragons look down on him due to being a pseudodragon and view him a less than a dragon.
Experience: Aeden’s time as a slave tempered his ability to survive in the worst of conditions. His very drive to live grew even stronger after his attempted suicide as he manifested through sheer will what would eventually be his Cure Wounds spell. At the time his Cure Wounds was more of a close minor wounds that he manifested through sheer will. When he saved himself from his suicide attempt he barely survived, and the Therosi noticed putting him through harsher rituals to push him to the limit.
Aion rescued Aeden when he was 21 years old. Over the next 18 years he trained his Cure Wounds to an average level, and he learned how to use Divine Spear up to an amateur level. The spell is extraordinarily difficult, but his bloodline does make it possible for him to manifest elemental energy into the divine. He knows it could potentially summon pure divine energy in the form of a spear, however he has only scratched the surface of what he could do with it. From what he knows about how the spell works if trained to a high enough tier he could create and project multiple spears at a farther distance with greater power, however it is a much harder spell than most to train and master.
Aeden worked as a part of Aion's rescue team and with his affinity for learning magic he was encouraged to learn Protection from Chaos. He became quite competent in its use over time and used it to protect the lives of his squad.
All of Aeden’s combat training is through the Aion, and while he is a capable fighter he is technically nothing special. He gained some attention for his ability to push through the pain of training.
Motivation: To rise up in the world and become so powerful that those that would cause him suffering or cost him his freedom would have to think thrice before making a move on him. He also wishes to rescue any of the mixed-blood children he sired to train them to be strong as well.
Birthplace: Aeden was born in Vrondi in an isolated home in the jungles, however Therosi agents kidnapped him and killed his parents because they couldn’t capture them alive and brought him to Nero.

Alright, I'll be sure to read the recent posts and put together a post that works. I've read the highlights/recap given by you, but I haven't read any of the latest posts.
Hello, hello! Fresh recruit here! Just wrapped up the first draft of my character.

Extra Info:
Aeden has very little commitment to the Aion. He fully appreciates their cause and how they have helped him, however he doesn’t really feel it is his cause. He has given them time and effort to their cause almost equivalent to his entire life, and he feels that he will soon need to move on from them. This opinion has only developed within the last year.
Aeden has very high standards for others, but especially for himself.
In spite of his feeling about Aion’s cause, Aeden has a huge amount of respect for Mirror.
I applaud your persistence with bumping this OOC. I am thinking about making a pure Nayu that acts as a spy or information broker (or at least has aspirations to build a network to become a broker). Although I am also considering a pure Seraphim because why not do what seems to be through lore hard-mode?
Even if I don't go with either of those I'm definitely interested and will be doing myself some homework with this RP
EDIT: I have decided to go with a pure Seraphim because inspiration has hit!
