Aven Kilandre

Aven Kilandre wrote:Name: Aven Kilandre.
Gender: Male.
Age: Appears 35 years old.
Birthday: Undetermined.
Sexuality: Straight.
Special Characteristics: Small, golden particles sometimes emanate off his body.

Personality: Aven is a caring soul that yearns to help others. He is quick to help, and late to abandon those in need: however, he has no tolerance for those who do not wish to help themselves. Likewise, Aven is rigid in his belief that birth does not forever define one's worth, even in the wake of his upbringing as a nobleman. In lue of this, he does not consider status as a major facet when choosing friends and acquaintances.
Aven relies on observable facts and logic rather than putting too much stock in faith, though he acknowledges through faith's various miracles and blessings that the Gods do exist. This reliance on proof has led him to become a bit oblivious to other's feelings at times.
Always one for proper manners, it is rare to hear Aven become very angry or cuss. He's become reserved around women other than his wife, Hakon, under the subconscious knowledge that she'd beat the daylight out of him. Still, he takes great pleasure in raising the spirits of others, and even more in helping those in need. He will always step in to save a person in danger, no matter the cost to himself, yet another trait retained from his mortal life.
Since returning to the mortal realm, Aven's ambitions have greatly diminished. He still wants to help others, but his focus is far less grandiose, where-as before, he was focused on Revolution and Espionage, fighting for the greater good no matter what the cost. With this shift in perspective, he's gained an appreciation for the other aspects of risking one's own safety, from the lens of a concerned spouse or family member, and has become more cautious in his endeavors. At the moment, his greater focus is to live life, whatever that may bring, alongside those he cares for, and perhaps have a bit of fun along the way.

Likes:
- His Family: Aven holds his family is the highest regard, just above his friends and acquaintances. One of his greatest pleasures is spending time with his family, in whatever form that takes.
- Meat: Aven loves eating meat, it's by far his favorite food group, even over desserts. A good steak is all Aven needs to be satisfied.
- Research: Aven is curious, by nature, of anything he doesn't understand, though over the centuries he's lived, the range of subjects he doesn't have at least a light grasp on is small.
Dislikes:
- Senseless Violence: Aven doesn't condone any action without adequate reasoning. Rash or compulsive action, especially actions that harm others, are detestable to him.
- Stuck up Nobles: One's station in life doesn't determine their worth as a being, according to Aven, and he'll happily argue the point in public, any time, any place.
- Gods: See above. Generally, Aven has found that most Gods believe themselves above reproach. He's had adequate experience with them, existing as a Seraphim and serving under one for centuries: his opinion is set in stone, one way or the other.
Motivations:
- Living a full life: Aven's fought oppression and protected the masses for nearly his entire existence, and after all of that, he's more interested in spending time with his Wife, Hakon, his Family, and his friends. If he can help people along the way, that would definitely be preferable.
- Protecting the Future: There are some old enemies of Aven's that still haven't been put to rest, and he'd like to see them neutralized before he can truly live a peaceful life.
- Learning to have fun: Aven's always lived a life on the edge, and it's an aspiration of his to learn to take it easy sometimes.
Fears:
- Losing those close to him: Over the centuries, he's lost many friends and allies, even been separated from his Family on several occasions. He would much rather pass away first than witness any more deaths.
- The Void: One of the universal forces he finds very hard to justify, Aven has had a very hateful past with the forces of the Void. It takes time for him to trust those who employ this power, even against his better judgment.
- Insects: Aven isn't exactly afraid of insects, but he does absolutely despise them in a fashion that he'll immediately move to crush or kill them on sight.
