Caelum Tomi

**Caelum** is a soldier of Camellia and part of the Tomi family. He is friends with Isadora and Terrance, eventually joining their mission to defeat Aeric and Kinarra.

## Personality

Caelum is friendly, outgoing, and kind. He gets along well with everyone, and doesn't hesitate to help others, even if he only just met them. He is also very insightful, often making assumptions about people that turn out to be true. He has a fascination with conspiracy theories, particularly about goblins, which sometimes clouds his otherwise perceptive nature. This usually leads to trouble, mainly with the goblins of the mound. Caelum has shown to be petty at times, taking revenge on those who have wronged him.

Despite being polite, Caelum is brutally honest. He doesn't hold back on telling people what he thinks, even if it might offend them. These comments, however, are always good-natured and never distasteful or rude. He is usually well-mannered, a result of his formal, noble upbringing. Despite his wealthy background, he doesn't look down on people of lower status. Although he has mentioned his family's status and wealth, it is presented merely as a fact rather than a way of bragging.

Caelum is spontaneous. He likes to take bets, no matter how ridiculous it is, and will join in on other people's activities even if he doesn't know much about it. His impulsive actions often get Relia in trouble, leading to him apologizing to her multiple times.

Caelum is also very thoughtful. He quickly notices when his friends are stressed, tired, or hurt, even if they try to hide it, and he tries to console them and lend advice to their problems. However, he does not always pick up on people's lies, especially if he doesn't know the person well, so he usually believes what people tell him, making him overly-trusting at times.

## Appearance

Caelum is a young man with a toned build and chiselled features. He has beige-toned skin and short-trimmed jet-black hair that sweeps out at the sides. He wears the Camellia soldier uniform: stitched leather and iron armour, black pants, boots, and a red-and-teal shirt with a winding sea dragon emblazoned along the side. On his arm he wears a handkerchief with the Tomi family crest on it.

## Abilities

Caelum has an extensive knowledge of medical conditions and procedures. Because of this, he can heal even the most severe injuries and he can stitch/bind/tend to others' wounds quickly. He is also fairly skilled at fighting with spears and longswords like the *katana*, having trained as a foot soldier for two years, although he almost never engages in combat. If he must fight, he tries to do it with as little contact as possible; having a thorough knowledge of human anatomy, Caelum knows how to immobilize opponents with one hit and knows which parts of the body are the least/most fatal to hit.

## Trivia

* Caelum's surname, Tomi, translates to "wealth" (富) in Japanese.
