Era

Era was once and is human, and was given the hard, long, burden of becoming a kingdom. He traveled across the lands with his friend Roxin. Together they conquered many challenges. But one day, Era set off by himself, and discovered the Ruins of Era. He entered, and was taken in by the Forbidden. Then he became one of the Forbidden, for unknown reasons. He looks just like a forbidden, except for the fact that he is still part human. Now he remains cursed to live as a half shadow forever. While he had set off for the ruin by himself, his friend Roxin Was captured by a Lightstealer who slowly, painfully, tortured him. Eventually, with unknown details, he freed himself. After that Slowly Era learned to control his power of The Moon. Eventually, after many years, he had mastered his power.  Now, little is seen, or heard from Era, other than his letters, and studies he left behind. He was last sighted at the edge of the Crystal sea. Along the coastline. But he soon vanished from sight. The only person who knows his whereabouts is Roxin, who refuses to tell anyone, saying he made a promise. His weapon of specialty is the Sword. He is searching for a weapon that only he and one other know of. It is a weapon of myth. The sword of destiny.

It is a fabled sword that grants the owner the power of prophecy. But when used for battle, it is the same as a normal sword, only it can not be broken. He practices his powers of The Moon on the Ruins of Era every full moon. His power allows him to control the tides, blot out the moon, brighten the moon, cast moonbeams, and summon a blade of moonlight. He is a fearsome fighter, but likes to spend his quiet time reading, or practicing his writing skills. He has a pet Tabby cat that has powers unknown. His age is Unknown, but he says that he is nineteen when asked. His features (Un Shadowed) Are as follows: A Dark, brown, beard, same colored hair. Hairstyle is shaved down to a medium amount of hair on the back and sides, and has bangs that go down to his forehead, and he wears a simple light brown shirt, with no detail, And pants are the color of dark blue, and cut short toward the ankle. He wears a giant blue cloak with a hood, wherever he goes. He always wears a sword on his back. His eyes used to be chestnut brown, but one of them was lost to the shadow side, and the other has a giant scar across it. He is 6 feet 5 inches. His build is towards that of an athlete, but muscle shows a medium amount on the arms, and a good deal more on the legs. His features are strong, and slightly sharp. His best friends are Roxin, Wren, Zacharias, and (Unknown.)

His first home was a small backwater town, named Kreth. He now rules Kreth. Era is the son of a simple farmer, who lives in the small town of Kreth. His fathers name is Dreh. His mother’s name is Rea. She is the village healer. Era’s brother, Mark is the village fighter. His little sister is learning under their mother how to use herbs and heal. Era was nine years old (Or so we think) when Claws attacked. He came in the night, and killed half the village without anyone hearing anything. He was so quiet that nothing seemed amiss until the morning. When he awoke, he found 27 dead bodys all stacked in a big pile at the town center. All the town gathered there. Families mourned for their dead. But death was not uncommon here. Eventually they all moved on. Luckily Era’s family was unharmed. The guards doubled their patrols from then on. Another secret about Era is that, in order to keep his shadow from spreading and taking him over, he must enter a special, ancient bunker every blood moon for the entire night. He now has lost his powers of Moonlight due to an encounter with Claws. His kingdom weapon is Unknown. He first received his Kingdom weapon before he had survived an attack from Claws. From then on he never went anywhere without his sword ready to be used. He has never lost a battle since. He is now trying to receive a new power. It is through unknown studies that he is learning as much as he can about the crystals that supply kingdoms there life. He even wants to go as far as trying to sever himself from his own, but was stopped before he could. He even dared try to enter the Ancient Library Itself. He did not get in, but caught a glimpse of a book. It ended up taking a great toll. The details on the toll itself are to remain a secret, but rumors have spread that it may have something to do with his constant roaming. He is known to be VERY solitary, making exceptions only for Roxin, Wren, and [REDACTED] He has taken to learning as much as possible about the Nightmares. He even went as far as trying to use his shadow side to try and communicate with Claws himself. Let's just say that it did not go too well. He does not speak of his age, but it is guessed that he is much older than he says. Some even say that he was alive during the “Before Times”, but it is just a myth, though that might have something to do with why he knows so much, and has decided to stop caring about his looks, or so most say. His most memorable act was when he, and when he was mortal and  fully human, managed to stop a band of sixty seven armed raiders from attacking his village all by himself, before he was a kingdom. How he did it, is much too long to write here. He is a very capable scholar, and has recorded and written about many battles, creatures, and locations. He is the only human to have ever entered the ruins of Era. It is a well known secret, that he came out with the touch of the shadows. From that moment on, his blood changed from rainbow to shadow. It is said that he is the one who delivered a prophecy about a blade that grants the owner the power of visions. He was once a fabled battle general, and still to this day walks with his arms folded behind his back as he did when he led his armies to victory against the Emperors as they tried to take over his kingdom. He went by the nickname, “ Captain Rick” named after an old “friend.” Whenever he was leading his armies. But unlike most kingdoms, his armies were made up of real men, who he had to pay and feed. It meant that his armies did

take longer to create, but it was worth it because they each fought as individual members, instead of one elemental mind. He was renowned for his victory on the shores of the Crystal Sea When the forces of the Arcanai were revolting. It was a long bloody battle, and the shores were stained red and blue with the blood of both the races. After many years of conquering, he finally stopped, and settled down in one of the villages that he had lived in named, “Kreth.” There he has settled as the ruler, and is now somewhere that no one else knows of.
