== Biography ==
=== Mauren's Past ===
Mauren has no memory of anything before awakening aside from his own first name and strange dreams of chaos and fighting (and base human impulse/instinct and natural human empathy). Nothing is known of his past by anyone.
(META: No playable characters know of Mauren's past, but some npcs know about him)
=== Awakening ===
==== Ruins ====
Mauren's first moments of consciousness was waking up in a strange world in a town of ruins, he describes it, "The shine from the sky was the day I learned of the existence of the sun, the sensation while laying on the ground was the day I learned of the existence of the ground, the blue up above was the day I learned of the sky". He began exploring the strange ruins, the first few weeks since the Awakening were residing in the ruins, slowly discovering concepts such as clothing, thirst, and hunger. Eventually, he saw a road, and out of curiousity, chose to walk it. He has always been an explorer since.
==== Discovering Aurora ====
As Mauren travelled, he eventually came across an abandoned mine, deciding it a better place than the ruins, and chose to live within it for the time being, he spent his time in the mine fishing, farming, and building a humble home with the remains of the miners who left it. This mine however, just so happened to also be within the country of Aurora, and eventually rumors of a hermit living in the abandoned mine led to the Order investigating, in case of it being a werewolf, and discovering Mauren. The Order interrogated Mauren, but were unable to adqeuately communicate with Mauren, who only worked off of the limited speech he picked up from the people he listened to when travelling. The Order brought him back to Fornost, where he was housed in Prolin, taught Arete, and began to learn more about Aurora and the world.

== Personality ==
Mauren is an affable, optimistic, naive and mildly annoying person. Mauren impulsively wants to do the right thing and be nice to everyone, but has no social inhibitions nor has much in the sense of wisdom or maturity and his lack of knowledge of the world is easily exploited. He is very uncomfortable with violence, only hurting something when he absolutely has to. Mauren, despite the naivety, is not specifically dumb, and is surprisingly quick to identify contradictions/logical fallacies and connect logical dots assuming he has information to connect, he is also quite self-sustaining, having been able to survive for weeks to months on his own with few basic survival tools.
(META: Mauren is essentially a man-child, being functionally "born" when he awoke, just in an adult body. Because of the fact that he woke up with no knowledge of anything, he literally does not know basic information about the world unless he figures it out himself or is taught it directly, and he has to rely on others to inform him of this strange new world.)
== Powers ==
Mauren has a variety of unique abilities that can be summed up in these categories: Light Blast, Healing, Enhancement/Dehancement, Protection, and Detection
=== Light Blast ===
This aspect of Mauren's Light is the simplest, he blasts bright bursts of energy, usually as a punch, but any facet of his body can suffice.
(META: think of the blasts as explosive versions of the "Paladin" smite from D&D, in the future, Mauren will be capable of exerting his blasts through weapons, however he has not discovered this ability yet. He has some control over the strength of the blast, however if Mauren extends the blasts to an excessive amount, he won't have the energy to access all of his abilities, and will be temporarily unable to do certain actions. The blasts are extremely taxing, and the more he does, the less he can do.)
=== Healing ===
Mauren's healing has unique capabilities. He has a natural healing factor, capable of healing (almost) any injury. The catch is it takes an extremely long time to heal, and even with the factor major injuries can be fatal without some assistance, but all injury will eventually be healed with time (ie. If Mauren loses an arm, he will grow it back fully in like a month or so)
Mauren is immune to disease and is immune to most dark magic and energies, most "blighted" diseases and curses (vamprism, zombification, ichor-blooded, demonic/undead possession, wither rot, etc.)
Mauren has a level of healing ability, he can cure disease and flesh injury, he can heal bone, but it is less effective. His healing leaves burn marks, as if it was cauterized. His healing requires lots of energy, and he cannot sustain healing numerous or large groups of people within a short timeframe.
Mauren has a unique healing capacity. He is capable of curing certain supernatural/blighted disease, such as wither rot.

=== Weaknesses ===
(META: So far, no playable characters are 100% aware of his flaws, however numerous characters and npcs, if they can detect them, can exploit them.) 
Mauren has a variety of weaknesses, these are:
* Anti-Magic. Mauren's Light is akin to a "magic" organ system, and he requires it to be constantly active to survive. If the magic is turned off, taken away, or blocked, it is akin to organ system failure, and his body begins shutting down. If an anti-magic effect is brief, you can think of it like a "magical" heart attack or organ failure. If Mauren suffers even a brief amount of anti-magic effects, he will require immediate medical attention and will need lengthy time to recover. (META: If you take away the power, the power will immediately work to return to his body, especially if you physically remove it from his body. This energy acts as a feral animal when interacted with, it only focuses on searching for Mauren otherwise.)
* Starvation. The magic requires lengthy amounts of energy, especially when used to cause magical effects, but it also constantly demands a surplus of energy, and thus Mauren tends to eat abnormally large amounts of food and is capable of eating extraordinary amounts of food at incredible speed. If Mauren does not have a constant large supply of food, his body will begin shutting down due to starvation. The most Mauren can survive without food is 2 days, and that's if he ate an extra amount on the first day.
* Celestial Influence. Celestial (holy forces) have unique control over Mauren, Mauren can be easily possessed by celestial beings and is susceptible to items that can affect those of celestial origins or existences.
* Battle Tactics. Mauren is an awful fighter and tactician, he entirely relies on his raw power in a fight, which is why he can battle monsters and people of pure might, but simple tactics and combat intelligence can easily undermine his might, even against significantly weaker opponents.
*Overexertion. Mauren's Light is akin to an organ system, and like all organ systems, can be damaged from overexertion, and using the power can take a toll on his body physically, even damaging it in extreme cases. Mauren requires regulatory practice and training to fully reach his physical potential, and his abilities can and will become stronger with training, as well as his endurance, but even at his peak he can potentially be susceptible to overexertion and bodily damage.
*Lightscreamer State. When Mauren is in extreme distress or life-threatening situation, he may potentially lose control to the Lightscreamer state. The Lightscreamer state forces all of his energy to surge through his body, enabling unique strength and unusual capacity temporarily (think of it like adrenaline, with the organ system analogy, that allows people to lift cars and ignore massive injury.), however his body experiences extreme adverse effects and his powers are completely inaccessible afterwards and remain inaccessible without lengthy recovery and some physical retraining therapy. (like with the superhuman effects of adrenaline and the major body damage usually caused by doing extreme things with adrenaline) The second consequence is the lack of control. The Lightscreamer state has a temporary personality shift with Mauren, and Mauren lacks control of their actions in this state. (META: With training, the effects of the Lightscreamer state can be less impactful, only largely disabling Mauren's abilities, with minor abilities remaining unharmed, and the physical body effects being slightly less severe. The Lightscreamer state has a seperate personality to Mauren, a mix between pure, unbridled, righteous fury and animalistic impulse. The state focuses on "tainted" or "corrupted" entities around it (undead, demons, ichor-blooded, anything influenced by, born from or has void or nether or dark magic/power in it.), unless attacked or sparked from something attacking Mauren or doing something that invokes the state and has Mauren focus on them, which will redirect it's attention until destroyed to it's satisfaction, where it will continue rampage like normal. If there are no "corrupted/tainted" beings, an initial pre-transition target, or attacking creatures, the state attacks anything close to it, attempting to annihilate with the fullest force possible. As dangerous as the state is for Mauren and anyone nearby, it does not last very long, at most maybe 10 minutes. Unless absolutely certain one can completely incapacitate Mauren, it is safest to simply evacuate the area briefly until it fizzles out due to overusing energy or overexerting the body and disabling itself and fizzling out that way and repairing whatever wreckage was caused by it's murauding around.)
== Trivia ==
* Mauren is vegan (except for in the case of war, where meat is necessary for survival)
*Mauren doesn't like to drink
*Mauren does not know that gender distinction is a concept that exists (in other words, he doesn't know you're supposed to consider men and women different, and assumes them to just be the same)
*Mauren knows the gods exist and believes they exist but does not overtly worship any, he describes it as "Like worshipping a relative", he does pay respect to Lothra and Rakau, the two gods his adoptive mother, Adashi, worshipped during her lifetime
