wayward hero

❝

Herein I commit the chronicle of the traveler. Shepherd to the stars in the dark. Though the world be sundered and our souls set adrift, where you walk, my dearest friend, fate shall surely follow. For yours is the Fourteenth seat—the seat of Azem.

❞

your first memory is faint. vague colors, a soft smile. faces you no longer recognize, but still grant you comfort even in the darkest hour. there is movement, and then stillness. a forest, deep in the heart of a foreign land. the smiles that you once knew are gone.there are two new sets of hands, two new faces. these too, are comforting. they hold you close, somber and gentle. in time, when you learn to walk, they wait, not far behind, with quiet encouragement. they are your fathers, and they raise you with the same love you would have known in the arms of your birth mother.you pick up magicks quickly. by the age of 6, you already surpass even your most talented peers in most every discipline. and yet, despite this, they shun you for your odd, foreign features. for your parents, who love each other, and you, despite everything. it is a lonely existence.at 16, your studies becoming boring and inconsequential. there is nothing on this island you can't learn from the outside world. your legs itch and beg to run free, and your skin yearns for the sun of another shore. but you can't leave. you owe everything to your parents, and you would not even think of letting them down.it takes over four years for the façade to crumble. you spend four years, agonizing, trapped between the walls of study halls and libraries. you haven't slept, and your magick studies become stagnant. a voice calls, the visions that plagued you since your youth occurring in ever more frequent episodes.

hear. feel. think.hear. feel. think.over, and over, like a siren. a warning. the answer to a question long since forgotten.your fathers take notice, and they tell you to go. that they only wanted your happiness. this island is their home. your home, but it need not be a prison. with their blessings, you depart towards the verdant forests of eorzea. it is a heartfelt goodbye, but it is far from the end.you plan to become an adventurer. nothing big. here, no one knows you. your skill. in their eyes, you are nobody. a novice. that's fine. it is as it should be. but strangely, things do not go to plan. every small deed snowballs into a bigger deed against your will. the scions of the seventh dawn. the primals. the garlean empire.suddenly, you are the warrior of light.it is a responsibility you will never escape.and so you walk. onwards until the dawn, with your companions at your side. as the traveler, it is your sworn duty. a promise from an age past. a heavy burden, to be sure, but every smile, every hand held makes it all the lighter.

OOC

leon / 18+ / he/him / EST

Hey there! I'm leon, an artist and this is my wonderful child, aenon! I do a lot of stuff with in ffxiv, like gathering, crafting, raiding, maps, eureka, TT, and much more. I currently run a very small fc, <<amaro>> (on our fates alight) in exodus, primal, and you can usually find me doing roulettes or hanging out somewhere if i'm online.
feel free to shoot me a message if you catch me online!!
see you around!

ㅤ001.ㅤ my characters and I are 21+. I prefer to RP with characters/players that are at least 18+ or more at minimum, though i would prefer if you were at least 21+ regardless.

ㅤ002.ㅤ as is normal, ic is not ooc. my character's views are not necessarily my own, and i am certainly not my own character. please avoid calling me by my character's name ooc, thank you! :)

ㅤ003.ㅤ at the moment i am currently not comfortable with romantic rps, though casual/non-sexual flirting is fine if it's IC. i will block if you try to exploit this in any way, if i haven't given consent to it.

ㅤ004.ㅤ feel free to ask for kaoru's code! he doesn't have much modding going on, and i try to keep his rp glams vanilla so i'm not super relying on glamourer for him.

ㅤ005.ㅤ I'm pretty okay with darker themes! just ask beforehand if you're unsure. most will be okay, but it never hurts to make sure, right?

ㅤ006.ㅤ I tend to prefer rps that more or less stick to the lore (or bend it, even), but i'm pretty flexible! obviously aenon is sort of in a gray area of... the lore itself, but i've tried to stick to what we know as a whole. this doens't mean i only want to stick to the lore, it's just usally something i keep in mind when i do roleplay.

on our fates alight.

ㅤpersonalityㅤㅤ outgoing and energetic; kaoru lives for the company of other people, even if he struggles to understand them sometimes. selfless to a fault, kaoru often takes on far more burdens than he himself can actually bear, though he never complains. true to his moniker as the warrior of light, kaoru has seldom, if ever, refused the call to action. though he does not resent it by any means, there is sometimes a tired aura about him.despite his friendly and kind demeanor, kaoru has trouble accepting help from others and prefers to take on challenges on his own. he is exceedingly reckless and uses all resources available to him when he is pushed to action. as a result, kaoru never emerges from a battle without wounds as his own. as, to him, defeating the enemy is more important to him than his own wellbeing.

timeline	event
A Realm Reborn.	Hear, Feel, Think. Your dreams of being a just simple adventurer are squashed as soon as you become the only one capable of escaping a battle with Primals unscathed. In exchange, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn become your second family. ...Was it by chance or fate that we met?
Heavensward.	Outcast from all you've ever known, you take refuge in the frigid lands of Ishgard. The Dragonsong rings painfully in your ears, but your cause is just. You will find peace. This is how it was meant to be. This is what I deserve.
Stormblood.	You thought your troubles done with, only for war to take a beloved comrade. Travel to faraway peaks and through turbulent seas, to Doma and beyond, but forget not the path you have paved until now. I'll shoulder it all. For them. I'm the only one who can, aren't I?
Shadowbringers.	Once again, friends ripped away unceremoniously, and a hooded figure plagues your every waking hour. Then, whisked away to an unknown land basked in blinding light. Take on their burdens once more, little hero, and confront the ghosts of figures long gone. Every step a painful reminder of how far I have yet to go.
Endwalker.	A shrieking, endless song that threatens to throw you from your feet. The world buckles and bends under the weight, but you walk on. To learn the truth. To fight the unstoppable. To answer the question. And there, you will find it. Amidst deepest despair; light, everlasting.
Dawntrail.	A new horizon, where dawn meets you like a blazing fireball. Adventure so agonizingly close you can taste it on the wind. Here, an exciting new frontier waits for adventurers like you, even as shadows lurk on the horizon.

― history

ㅤbiography.ㅤ Aenon is, perhaps not unexpectly, a creation of Azem in the days of the world unsundered. he was inspired by the late creation of Hermes, an entelechy by the name of Meteion.

Despite azem's adept creation magicks, aenon was still considered an incomplete or failure in terms of being a true entelechy. though possesing a very similar form to his predecessor, his abilities were not as potent, and his body much more corporeal. despite this, azem treated the creation with just as much love and attention as any other, even if society looked down upon aenon. in time, aenon came to realize that azem was... inelegant when interpreting other's words at best, and used his abilities to help his friend wherever possible.

when the world was sundered into 14 shards, aenon was sent off by azem for an uncertain purpose. Aenon managed to fit through a crack and remained unsundered, not unlike the ascians that did the same. though, unlike them, because of his physiology, was able to maintain his own physical body.

__

he spent many eons merely observing the new world, confused and concerned by the new state of being. because of his odd features, he was often outcast by most any group, and eventually secluded himself into the shadows, opting merely to observe the world than to intervene.

it was only in the current day, five years after the calamity, that aenon found a faint glimmer of his old friend. he reluctantly followed, feeling alienated by this new version of someone he once knew. in time, he grew to love, too, the new individual brought about by the sundering. by his side, he grew to learn the secrets of the shards, his past home, and even his own purpose and memories that had been locked away by azem.

― emotion sense

Although incomplete, Aenon is still an entelechy and has the ability to faintly sense emotions and thoughts. though not as pronounced as a certain entelechy's powers, he is able to get the general sense or gist of someone's thoughts and feelings if he is nearby. he often uses it as a gauge with which to trust people with, though it can very quickly become a burden in crowded spaces or with extremely strong positive or negative emotions.

― avian transformation

Aeon is able to transform into a much smaller bird-like form, at the cost of losing his ability to speak. often used in situations where he wishes not to be perceived by others that might be confused or otherwise offput by his unusual features. Though it can have use to reach areas he might not normally have the means to reach.
aenon prefers to be in his larger form, and only transforms into his bird form if the need arises. technically speaking, he can adjust more minor parts of his physical appearance as well, but he finds it a hassle and not worth doing.

― aetherial manipulation

despite being of a lower aetherial density than most beings on the Source, aenon has an adept grip on manipulating it due to the millenia he spent fending for himself. though he has a much lower 'bank' of aether than most, in battle, he often borrows from the world around him or even his partner, Kaoru leonault, if the need arises.

― presence erasure

aenon is able to effectively erase his presence for a time by lowering his aether to a point that it is near imperceptible from the ambient aether. however, this takes an extreme amount of effort, and, if done for too long, makes aenon extremely ill and at risk of erasing his existence entirely. used with caution and extreme moderation.

hooks

Armored Chocobokeep

In the corner of Buscarron's Druthers, you spot what appears to be an armored chocobokeep partaking in a small meal. Upon further inspection, curious feathers poke out from where horns or ears might otherwise be, a characteristic unlike any other race on the source.

Off to the races!

rumors tell of a new racer in the racing rings of the gold saucer. Having come out of nowhere, with an exceptionally well-bred chocobo, many racers are upset or otherwise miffed by the sudden appearance of this new racer. rumors also tell that you might be able to spot this unique racer amongst the crowd of the myriad events held around the saucer.
