After Richard, who was a veteran mountain climber, helped Emilia, who had just gotten into mountain climbing, with her gear, they started climbing mountains together, eventually falling in love. Two years into their relationship, due to an incident that broke Emilia's right arm and right leg, they found out that she was pregnant. After that, both started going on less and less dangerous adventures which eventually leveled out into living a normal life when Emilia's belly started to show.

They bought a good suburban house in Washington D.C. and settled down to live a normal, mundane life with their child. A couple of weeks later, Eric was born, on the 14th of January, 2000. Three years after Eric's birth, Emilia was pregnant again, this time with a girl that was named Undine Nelson. Nine months later and Undine was born into the family of three.

#### Childhood

Growing up in a time that technology was exploding into the mainstream, Eric became interested in how it was made and how it functioned.

## History Ideas

* The Nelson couple had two children, Eric Nelson and his sister, Undine Nelson. Unfortunately, Undine Nelson was kidnapped a few years back, when she was just six years old and has not been heard of again. At first the Nelson family prepared for a ransom call from the kidnappers as they were quite wealthy at the time, yet they received nothing, even after a full week. In that week, the police could not find anything either, even after a full month of investigation and research, they could not find anything and they gave up. Even more unfortunate, not long after that Ester Nelson was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and died a few months after. Undine's disappearance along with Ester's death, the now family of two, Richard and Eric Nelson were left to live out the rest of their lives alone. What the family didn't know was that their little girl was not kidnapped by just any two-bit kidnappers, she was taken by a group of hardcore devil worshippers that tried to summon a strong demon with the little girls sacrifice. The ritual didn't work as the demon couldn't be summoned at the time. He also sensed something strange with the little girl, she was connected to a mortal with the purest of souls, the Jagon, a being with a soul so pure that it was prophesized to bring peace and stability to all the cosmos. The demon wanted the soul of this mortal, this Jagon, and he saw an opportunity in the soul of the little girl, so he took the girls soul but kept the dead body alive for future plans. He changed the minds of the worshippers, as he was going to do anyways, to fit his needs. He was always planning on manipulating this group of worshippers to create a favorable situation for his ascension into the material world. He wanted to use the coming apocalypse to invade and take over at least one of the Five Worlds.

## Things

### Occupation

Eric Nelson spends his regular days at work for eight hours and sometimes goes out with his work friends for some drinks. He works as a programmer for an indie game company named *Expanded* that works on small mobile games. This job is a repetitive and boring day-to-day job, that Eric barely enjoys, but gives him enough experience to begin making his own games. He has been working at this position for barely more than five years, since he left high school really, and has no further plans of leaving the company for at least two more years. He has been promoted a few times due to his skills in coding, but nothing too excessive or over the top that would prompt him to stay at the company for longer than necessary.

### Family

Eric Nelson is the only son of Richard Nelson and Emilia Nelson, who met during one of their more dangerous adventures, mountain climbing. He also had a sister, Undine Nelson, that was kidnapped when he was just seven years old. It was when they were playing at the park that she was kidnapped, under his watch. Both families grandparents are dead since long before Eric's birth, and his mother died a few months after Undine's disappearance, from breast cancer. Eric Nelson is a single man who is focusing on his career and his family's wellbeing. Eric often meets his father every now and then, and also once a year to go somewhere to travel together, going on dangerous adventures like his father used to with his mother.

### Friends

Eric only has a couple of friends from work, all the ones from his high school days he lost contact with after high school. He is mostly a loner. He closed himself off from others when his sister disappeared on his watch. The only friends that he can talk to normally are Mathew Anderson, Liam Emmet, and Noah Denzel, but the only one that he can really turn to for help is Noah, who has close connections with his family and himself.

### Need

Eric Nelson needs to understand that what happened to his sister is not his fault. He needs to let go of the past and focus on his future, his life, and his family. He needs to let go of the unconscious act of punishing himself for the disappearance of his sister.

### Critical Flaw or False Belief

Eric Nelson is anti-social, bad with people, but is also way too good for his own good. He cares about people and their safety to his own detriment.

Special Flaw: Eric is afraid of making strong and deep connections with people in fear of losing them like he lost his sister, so he puts a wall around himself that lets no one pass, and those that do get past, are pushed away from himself.

### Core Belief

Eric's core belief is to help all those who need help.

### Values

Loyalty, Honesty, Courage, Kindness, and Fairness.

### Stress Reaction

Eric usually tries to flee when ever confronted with his deeper and core issues, but will become defensive in more mundane issues. In the face of danger, he will fight for his survival but will likely not give it his all.

### Conflict Mentality

Eric is brash but also very meticulous. He will think through his options in situations where the lives or livelihood of those around are compromised, but will act rashly and with his personal strength in situations where only his life is on the line.

### Special Abilities

Eric is a veteran programmer and a master magician. He works with magic like how a artist works with the canvas and paint. He has the potential for every type of power imaginable and is capable of taking on Gods with his arcane might alone. He has gained strength unimaginable and saved countless people with it, along with making his life and the life of those around him safer in the apocalypse world. He is admired not because he can do magic, but because what he used it for and just how powerful his magic is. Eric became a master magician through years of struggle, hard work, and training. He enjoys the power that magic brings to him, and what he can do with it, along with what it has allowed him to achieve, such as saving his sister and reviving his mother.

### Mark of Greatness

Eric is prophesied to be the Jagon, a being of pure soul that will bring peace and balance to the cosmos.

## Personality

### V2

Eric is an intelligent yet emotional person. He is easy to anger and easy to sadden, yet in most situations his intellect and reason win out over the emotions. Due to his emotional issues during school, he naturally became distant from people and grew accustomed to being alone for the most part. The only people that could get him to open up were his parents, close relatives and his very good friends.

### V1

Eric is an intelligent yet somewhat meek person. Not in the way that he interacts with people, but in the choices that he makes. He is somewhat of a loner with one or two friends at work yet almost no social life. Eric is someone that does not like killing other people of his race or people like himself in appearance, but he will do it to survive. However, at the beginning of the apocalypse, this ‘no killing’ thing got him into a lot of future troubles. During the course of the novel, Eric grows to become a confident, outspoken, and charismatic leader of one of the major factions of power in the apocalypse.
