Okay, I'll start making the changes now! I understand what I need to fix, up until the last bit about justice and humility... Perhaps you could explain it a little more. Thanks anyway, I'm glad mine was up to standard!

I notice you picked Ari as your region of origin, anything specifically why? I can go into detail of the countries there if you would like, but given that Ari (specifically the Rabari nation) is fairly liberal and accepting a lot of cultures have known to call it home. It also doesn't hurt that it's the home of the best universities in the world, as well as a martial arts hub-- so it is sort of a high quality melting pot of sorts.Though with your last name (which is derived of asian descent?) that does thin out some heritage choices (kataloni, salasi, ludosi, hanshi, longzhi, sunako, tanuka) that I could help you with if you so desired.


I suppose that I chose it because of the environment type; fields and farmland right? It just seemed like the kind of location that would suit the character - wide open fields and empty spaces. Do you think it works for that purpose, and if not then do you think any other areas would work better? I do like the idea of a melting pot though... :)

The last name doesn't matter much - it was a spur of the moment thing. I'm open to changing it to fit a more suitable race, if you have any ideas for one.
Well, here goes! I wasn't sure about countries and areas within the world, so sorry if I've made any mistakes. In addition, if there are any other errors with the bio, then please let me know!

NAME – Eden Kasratu
AGE – 18
ALIGNMENT – Anti-Hero
APPEARANCE –

Hair - Eden has short, well-kept blonde hair - though it is faint and near colourless.

Clothing- Eden wears distinct religious robes, though their markings do not match that of any main religious movement. The robes are pure white in colour, and are tight enough to allow free movement during battle.

Build- Eden is slender to the point of being weedy, his small build appearing to indicate a general lack of strength. He has no noticeably developed muscles, nor any scars of battle.

STYLE – Eternity Force; Harmony

TECHNIQUES –

'Purification': Eden forces high concentration Harmonic energy through his surroundings to flush out hidden darkness and chaos energy. This is a last-ditch ability however, as it leaves him exhausted.

'Shining Rapier': A simple long-range energy attack used for standard combat. Energy spears are formed from Harmonic energy and fired at foes.

Strategy: Eden fancies himself as a strategist, destined to lead a future army. For this reason, he constantly forms strategies for difficult situations, observing in fascination, the way in which such plans eventually play out. Due to his reputation as a backstabber however, there are very few people willing to listen to his ideas - even when they could lead to certain victory.

CHARACTER BALANCING – Eden is not a talented combatant; he is a strategist and figurehead rather than a real soldier. In close combat, Eden's will be defeated easily - thus he is forced to rely on others for support in battle, covering them with his abilities.

PERSONALITY – At first glance, Eden appears to epitomise the positive impact of harmony, a kindly soul who greets everyone with open arms and a warm smile. This is all a facade however, a front for Eden's true nature as a cruel manipulator - an individual who takes express pleasure in twisting those around him, betraying all trust with that unwavering smile fixed in place. In truth, Eden seeks only one thing from life; the total eradication of all chaos, disorder and unrest. Whilst this might seem like a wholesome goal to a casual observer, its true evil gradually becomes apparent as the symptoms of his power are revealed. Eden will take any road to secure his father's dream, take any lengths to eradicate chaos even when such lengths involve deep moral transgressions. In short, Eden is no better than the very thing that he seeks to eradicate from the world, proof positive that harmony can be just as destructive as chaos when used blindly.

BACKSTORY – The son of Dalance Kasratu, Eden was raised away from his father in a wealthy yet isolated household within Ari. He was bought up by his mother, cut off from all humanity aside from the servants of the house and his own unconventional family. It would be fair to say that Eden was an unloved child, left alone to explore the grandiose manor - gleaning what he could from the illustrious books of the house library. It was during this phase that Eden developed his cruel calculating personality, gradually learning to mask such whims behind a mask of sickly kindness in oder to manipulate others to the best of his ability. This uneventful existence continued until he was fifteen, when Eden was finally taken to meet his dying father within a guarded structure deep beneath a neighbouring field.

It was there that Eden learnt of his destiny, as the heir to the Kasratu bloodline, a destiny that would prove to shape him into a figure much like his own fractured father. It was revealed to him that Dalance was the leader of a secret organisation titled the 'Free Psych Army', a group of likeminded fanatics who deemed it fit to eradicate all traces of chaos from the world, even at the cost of its people. Over the course of Dalance's life, under the spiritual guidance of an ancient harmonic artefact, the group had laid the foundations of a plan to cease the very planet's orbit. Through this method, his father's insane notations announced, half the world would be scorched to nought whilst the other half would freeze and die. Life would be removed from the world, thus any scope for the creation of chaos would also perish. It was to be Dalance's ultimate solution - a task that would accomplish the artefact's plea for a world without chaos.

The group had researched methods to achieve their goal over a lengthy partnership, settling on a method involving the use of numerous artefacts from across the planet, coupled with god-like gravitational alteration. The foundations had been set, plans drawn, leaving the actual instigation to Eden himself.

Alongside this colossal, insane responsibility, Eden's father also bequeathed to him the artefact that had ruled his life - a harmonic pendant. Eden took the pendant begrudgingly, alongside his father's collective studies on the matter of mass extinction - though he found little logic in the mad scribblings that his father had amassed.

It would seem that the Free Psych Army's legacy would end there, as would Dalance's cruel plots, however this was not the case. As time passed, Eden found himself becoming more and more intrigued by the writings, the pendant's influence finally starting to affect him - he had worn it out of guilt. Under its power, Eden saw the logic within his father's plans, the necessity for the eradication of chaos.

Finally, as the pendant's influence overwhelmed him completely, Eden decided to act out his father's plans - to establish a new order of the Free Psych Army and create an undying state of world harmony - across a silent, dead planet.

But first, he would have to make himself known as a leader - prove himself to be a powerful individual capable of changing the world...

ORIGIN- In order to prove his power, Eden decided to 'purify' the ranks of the Order, by eradicating them. Through this, he sought to both develop a legacy and find suitable members for his new order.

OTHER - In all honesty, Eden's doomsday plans are little more than insanity - it is doubtful that he could ever truly manage to come close to halting the turning of the planet, much less achieve it.
Wow, that's a lot of backstory XD. It seems that I have some reading to do...
I might consider drawing out my character, though I'll have to see what the standard is first... For all I know, you guys could be masters! XD
So, in theory, I could replicate Marlux's fall by using the other end of the spectrum - creating a character who gradually becomes a slave to his own desire for order and purity after coming into possession of a holy or light artefact. Could that work and if so, which division would be better to go for; harmony or light?

I'd wager not since they are tied into a force that is ruled by the aspects of virtue. Though I imagine characterizations are a lot more complex than "saturday-morning evil" and "lawful stupid", it's likely there could be a priest who follows the path of light who is zealous to the point of murder but still believes in helping people and such.Though that's not to say harmony is GOOD, as the virtue of justice is as ruthless as the sin of wrath can be.


That's just what I was thinking; about the pursuit of justice and purity steadly leading a character towards immorality... Thanks for answering my question, I think I've got a good idea for a character now!
So, with regards to Celestial abilities, could a morally corrupt character still use Light and Harmony?
This sounds like the perfect idea for an RP! If there's still room, then I'd like to try for a place - a long-running roleplay is something that I've been trying to find for a while.
I'm here too, though I still have to flesh out some aspects of my character :)
I might wait and see what other people put up - see what the standard is.
