## Personal Information

### Weapon

Bow and arrow

Aeran (Pronounced AIR-ren) Kellis is a Wayfarer, one of the last to be trained at The Spire prior to the Order's collapse. He studied under the mentorship of Brissa Varyn and present at The Spire when it was attacked and destroyed by Militia from neighbouring villages. He is first met in The Prologue in the southern wastes of Artantis during the journey to the spire. He is the first character The Wayfarer interacts with. In the following I chapter, he becomes a companion to The Wayfarer - working as mercenaries together. His arc develops as either a friendship or foil towards the wayfarer. In the end of chapter II it gives the option to end the friendship. He is an optional romance-able character.

***( In game, If you want to participate in the romance side of him, option 4 of when Aeran is introduced in the first chapter MUST be clicked, otherwise it will be locked off permanently for the rest of the story)***

## Aeran Kellis

Though considered by The Wayfarer to be ‘tight-lipped’ about his backstory and childhood. He is an Elf born in Tryrida, Artanis and had always lived closely near The Wayfarer Order He was orphaned at a young age by a rune engineer. He never knew his father, however suspects his identity. He is also mentioned to hold non-religious and atheist beliefs in the talks of gods and such. Furthermore, in in his youth he trained well with his bow and arrow even said to Surpass the likes of Varyn at such.

During his training, he would always butt-heads at the diplomatic approach Varyn taught. This is shown if the wayfarer is taught along side Varyn, where is mentions how The Wayfarer was always better at the diplomatic approach. Adding onto his teaching, Aeran has extensive experience with Arathian culture

In the years of graduation, he had very little contact with the Wayfarer. He often travelled to multiple places, rarely staying in the same sport for to long. In this period of time it is mentioned that he He restored a cursed village in the Coveran Republic and captured a criminal. He was in The Spire during the summit and remains one of the last few survivors. Alongside The Wayfarer, he is one of the very few still wandering the land.

He is a bright and cheerful character from the outside, being a fun loving jokester - often cracking up jokes and poking fun. Due to his humour he can come across as cynical. He is also determined and focused - even if it is selfish. He blames himself for not being there for the people he cares about and being unable to protect them. However, deep down he is much more troubled with a darker more quieter side to him. This mixture of fear and doubt leads him to being overprotective towards the The Wayfarer. He is very private and secretive towards his past and what happened at the summit. As mentioned he is non-religious and has never considered marriage and such, it being incompatible with his current life style.

## Romance explained! (SPOILER WARNING!)

stated on the official Wayfarer Tumbr here is word for word how to get his romance! However remember **Wayfarer is not a romance game.** Romance, relationships, and friendships are a part of the core mechanics. However romance in particular is not needed to have a good play!

You have to select the #4 option when Aeran is introduced:

* #4. You are friends and you are partners. You can’t imagine this life without him at your side. Though nothing romantic has happened between you, you can’t help but wonder…

This will flag his romance. It’s not possible to gain romance points with him otherwise, the MC’s feelings for him have to be established from the beginning (he is the only romanceable companion who works like this and it’s because they’ve known each since childhood).

* For his high romance content in Episode 2, you HAVE to net over 60 romance points in Episode 1, which is only possible if you:
* Get knocked unconscious on any of the boss fights (Count fight, basilisk fight, town square riot, etc).

If you’re leaving Rona conscious, then you’re going to miss out on the only opportunity to get a head start on his romance. Because Aeran is a fool and he doesn’t realize he’s in love with the MC unless they almost die.

In Episode 2, you need to make sure that:

* Your approval points don’t drop below 60
* Your romance points don’t drop below 60
* You cannot have personally killed Rhodarth or have ordered him to kill Rhodarth in Episode 1
* Do not tell him about the letters (if you’ve read them) during the fight at the end of Episode 2
* Do not go to Melchior’s party
* Do not accept Veyer’s tryst (you can absolutely make out with them and then leave and go back to Aeran though, if your MC is that kind of messy)
