### Background & Personality

Due to being born as a sickly and weak child he could take no part in his household's grand expectations that held martial prowess as mandatory aswell. And so he was disregarded in favor of his brothers and sisters that had the promise to be the exemplars they were expected to be in all matters. This led to ridicule from his own family, starting from a fragile age.

It nudged him to disregard all the realms of the physical and since he was neither allowed nor capable himself of leaving the large estate grounds, he found solace in the field of academics, sciences (Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy, Astrology, Numerology, Biology, Anatomy, Medicine, Languages, Technologies and Engineering, Religions, Chemistries, Alchemy, Philosophies, Business, Government, Metaphysics, Myths and Mythologies, Histories, Literature, Psychologies, to name most) and the arts, with the estate's large, comprehensive library and tutors, the artists they offered patronage to living or visiting the grounds, all at his disposal from a crude age. This development allowed him to demonstrate a prodigious aptitude intellectually wise with an unmatched intelligence coefficient for his various age stages. It nonetheless went unnoticed and unappreciated by his family, seeing his peculiar interests and tinkerings as yet compounding factors that further isolated him in his peculiarity from them, often being reduced to taking refuge in his fantasies and playing with "toys".

All of it nonetheless did not lead to form much resentment, remaining a kind, mannered and respectful child that demonstrated no outbursts, but it did result into a somewhat lesser developed social and emotional intelligence coefficient. It did not discourage him to steer off the path of his interests, often finding joy and a smile that took his mind of all the worse aspects of his life, stargazing with child-like wonder in the estate grounds documenting constellations and astrological phenomenons, the joy of listening to masterful performances of musical genius, learning to play various wondrous instruments, reading the great works of literature, taking in inspiration from all that surrounded him, dissassembling and reassembling various things he got his hands on, tinkering at his latest crude invention, painting and drawing, etc. He never let himself have a dull second in a day, always busying his mind and hands with one thing or the other.

The patriarch of the family, his father, often proclaimed that humanity's greatest threat, with the power to end human civilization and destroy the human race were none other than the mythical ancient tailed beasts. But Edem reached a different conclusion, along his formative years, and being steeped in the innerworkings of the Meirei and the Moirai. That that accolade should go to mankind itself. They have waged war against eachother since their very inception, after all.

#### The Day She Jumped Into My World

The greatest paradigm shift of the trajectory his life would take, was at eight years of age, on a fateful day. He had spent 3 days constructing a small aircraft like contraption after taking inspiration from bird-watching, bats, filling himself with wonder at the concept of flight amongst the clouds and the blue skies in utter unfettered freedom. He also applied the concept of kites along with the natural inspiration and after 3 days and nights at the drawing board, tinkering with canvas, sticks, nuts,bolts and wires, his handheld ornithopter was born.

He took to the fields in front of the estate for it's first test flight and to his joy with one shove the construct took effortless flight forward. He struggled to run and keep up with it in his weak constitution, stopping to catch his breath only to see one wing suddenly impacted by what looked like a pebble, breaking it off and it descending into a spiral and crashing over on the otherside of the estate wall. He looked behind only to see two of his older brothers bursting into a mocking laugh. "*Assembling your useless little toys again? Don't you ever grow up?*" Edem said no word in return and shifted his gaze atop the wall where the ornithopter crashed. He attempted a futile climb and fell flat on his back shortly after, in desperate pants, to no avail in his weak constitution. "*You'll never get over that wall, you're hardly strong enough to stay alive.*" "*Pathetic, why did we have to end up with a baby brother like this one? Shame of the family.*" He payed them no mind and they quickly grew bored and left, as he layed down in the grass gazing up atop the wall.

To his surprise, after a minute time, he saw a hand, then quickly after, a silver haired girl with cyan eyes about a year his junior made her presence known, triumphantly atop and holding the ornithopter up with one hand. She offered an excited smile as she exlclaimed with child-like glee "Amazing, that thing flew just like a bird!" Edem could do nothing but gaze in silent wonder upwards. She continued without skipping a beat over his flustered pause. "Sooorrry, climbing over the wall broke it even more. Did your dad made this for you?" Edem responded with a slight flustered stutter. "Uhm ..N-no.. I made it myself. I can make another for you to play with too.. if you.. want,"
