Name: Eaon Norellia (Sometimes called: Father Eaon The Pure of Heart)
Gender: Male
HUMAN
Inhabitance: (born)Trinity (now)Trinity
Age: 23
Rank: Knight
Apearance:
Personality:
"I am to serve the council, until death or my sins be undone."
Eaon is the incarnation of nobility, pride, and power amongst the Knights. He has sworn his life to carrying out their will and ensuring their survival and even being allowed to take on the Sir Name "The Pure at Heart" despite Eaon's dark and bloody past before he became a Knight for the Trinity. Eaon is seemingly fearless in the face of danger, often boasting that "In order to understand all things, we must stare the truth, no matter how ugly directly in it's cold eyes.". However, Eaon is not truly so brave, in fact, Eaon has often found himself in situation were he'd have rather turned and fled from whatever problem plagued him. Eaon never did though, and it's not because he is brave, but that Eaon is extremely courageous in that while he is afraid he still chooses to act.
Despite this human aspect to Eaon's personality, his known nobility is in his undying loyalty to the Trinity, and his seeking for the ultimate truth and peace within them. Eaon's enemies are those of the Trinity's be it armies of demons or men, if ordered to destroy the enemy, Eaon will do so without hesitation in the most efficent manner humanly possible. These scenes of bloodshed that Eaon has seen from this personality, and the pain he has caused willingly with his own two hands have taken their toll on Eaon. Emotionally he is detatched from people, having lost contact with loved ones, and not really finding relationships such as friendship viable. For Eaon the only affections needed are between he, his blade, his comrades in arms, and his enemy. This causes Eaon often to come off as cold, or uncaring. Eaon doesn't mean for this though, it just happens, really Eaon cares for all things in someway just lacks the means to show for it. It was due to this Eaon received his Sir Name "The Pure at Heart." because that was all Eaon was; pure in heart, but not in action, history, or existence.
Supposing the impossible was to happen though and someone could penetrate the cold-as-steel shell that is Eaon's personality and go deep into his heart they would find someone who longs to be loved and to love. Eaon never knew happiness during his past, or if Eaon did know happiness he doesn't acknowledge it due to the deep regrets Eaon carries about the crimes he committed. This deep regret channels through Eaon and gives him strength in a sadistic sense, allowing him to cleave enemies in a self-loathing furry that has thus far been unmatched by any and everyone.
It's in this state of true emotional bounds that no one sees that the biggest flaw in who Eaon is exists. When it first developed Eaon refused to acknowledge it's existence until he it manifested into what it is now and Eaon was forced to face it. It is the skitzophrenic personality called formally as "Reivaan", but more often (and much to Reivaan's dislike) called "It". Reivaan is a delusional, psychopath who believes that he was happy with bloodshed and longs for it, and that when Eaon was living out his darker days he experienced more advanced and developed emotions such as love and hate.
Reivaan thrives off of the feeling of control which other than making him extremely dangerous and hard to suppress at times, makes him the perfect killer. The ultimate form of Control is when the enemy is gasping for air with your bloody, soiled hands around his throat. If it brings on pain and agony then Reivaan enjoys it. Reivaan most commonly is known to accompany the full release of Eaon's restraints on his power. While this may be a good combination allowing Eaon to release his inhibitions that keep him from committing whatever sins and travesties are needed to win a battle it furthers the control of Reivaan in comparison to Eaon. While Eaon is a man of restraint and submission, Reivaan is one who has only known the maximum in control and power. This makes Reivaan fear loosing power, so in return Reivaan pushes to weaken Eaon to the point that Eaon had no choice but to rely on Reivaan. So far Eaon has not has his will degraded so much as to be forced to rely on Reivaan for anything other than those serious situations when his strength alone was not enough, but still the seductive blood lust and power is something almost all humans crave, and in this since, even the humble Eaon is not free.
Power has become a prison for Eaon, the more he gains the more Eaon wants. As a result Eaon has forced himself in the ultimate show of control to remain as a Knight. While this has forced him to give up his chances at greater power, possibly forever, Reivaan wants only more and strives to corrupt Eaon's will and take it. Reivaan is never to be trusted nor relied on for much if anything. In fact the only reason Eaon relies on this phantom menace is because he knows Reivaan will do nothing to endanger Eaon's life, and will always lead himself to victory. Reivaan ultimately is a forsaken power, the true essence of strength and negativity within Eaon. While Eaon is the Knight, The Pure of Heart, everyone knows Reivaan as being the Darke Knight, The Demon Corruptor.
History:
Eaon was born in Trinity Lands to a moderately wealthy family. Eaon was always protected as a child taught deep the roots of dark and light, good and evil, black and white. Stories of heroes tales where they were always confronted with a great evil that seemed impossible to overcome. Eaon was fascinated with these stories, these heroes and the extreme amount of bravery they must have had. Eaon used to lay awake at night and wish that he was as brave and noble as they who faced the deepest of hell's darkness and despite seeing these awful truths, they walked away victorious.
These things caused Eaon to, from the time he could stand, be interested in the martial combats of Swordsmanship. Like other small children that lived around him, Eaon was able to play fight with them almost when ever he wanted to. However Eaon was the strongest, and most skilled of all of them. His skills did not go unnoticed either. Little did Eaon know a seemingly average teacher at his school would change Eaon's life drastically.
When Eaon reached the age of ten, his teacher noticed his abilities with a sword were not just what happened in comparison to other youth, but a talent that had carried on into his pre-adolesent stages. It was late in the evening one day after class that the Teacher approached Eaon on his way home from school and asked him for a quick spar. Eaon not knowing any better and always enjoying combat agreed and began to spar with the man. For awhile it seemed as if Eaon was winning easily, however soon the man turned the tides, unleashing great skill and ability that dwarfed Eaon. Soon Eaon was defeated at the hands of the man and couldn't figure out why. Then the man told Eaon that the skills he possessed could not be learned in the Trinity, but rather in the City of Darkness.
Eaon tried to turn and run, but the man was much, much faster than Eaon and stronger and Eaon was captured, and pulled away from the Trinity. In Chaos Eaon was taken and bound, for three years he endured torture and abuse like none other until his perspective on the world was altered drastically. Torture at the hands of electric storms and having glass shards rubbed into your skin alters one quickly, but over the course of three years it drastically changes a person. Eaon no longer knew himself as Eaon, but as what his captors called him "It" Eaon was stripped of his humanity and pride, he was merely an object. One week the torturers stopped coming and Eaon went hungry, little did he know he was at the end of his time in captivity and the starvation he was put through was to keep him from destroying his keepers when he was released at last.
Eaon was dragged from his cell up several flights of stairs into a large room, it was a training room of sorts. Around Eaon there where many fighters of all shapes and sizes, powers and abilities. They looked at Eaon in disgust and Eaon managed to hear several of them commenting, saying as if questioning if he was "It". Eaon was dropped in front of his old teacher, scorned and starved, tortured and humiliated and forced to face the darker truth of his existence, he was Eaon no longer, but a new being, one called Reivaan.
Slowly like a wounded animal Reivaan regained his strength and began to want only revenge. He was given a sword once again and told to strike down the students who thought they were above him. Without hesitation Reivaan began to cut them and strike them down, all this happening at the young age of thirteen Reivaan was an unrivaled killer already. It didn't matter how old or experienced the students, if they stood against him it was inevitable that they would be killed. Reivaan was finally ready to begin his training as the prime pupil to his teacher, Lord Zeia.
Lord Zeia was a powerful Darke Knight who'd incorporated some Mage skills and magics into his fighting style, making him a more philosophical and religious leader and combatant than most, further making him more and more deadly opponent. His style was unique in that it was that of a duelists made for focusing aggression onto an enemy forcing them to take the defensive, that as well combinations of magics such as bolts of lightning and bursts of speed made him a strong and vicious foe that was impossible to beat as a normal warrior. This meant that in order for Reivaan to become strong enough to defeat Lord Zeia he would have to learn another form of combat, he would have to learn some Magic. Zeia did not know any normal Magic only that of Darke Magic, something considered to be evil by those in Trinity. Still Reivaan was not from Trinity, Reivaan was from the womb of torture and pain, agony and suffering, and he was shaped in the fires of hell. Reivaan had no limitations and quickly began to pick up the spells and magics of Darke Magic.
Reivaan had a particular talent in manifesting his rage into bolts of lightning that were used to over power Eaon back in Trinity. Reivaan's lightning was infamous amongst the school he knew and trained in, killing off the weaker students while becoming strong in the eyes of his Master, Lord Zeia. Soon it was seen that Reivaan had mastered the use of these bolts of lightning that he used so expertly in the mutating tortures and the brutal victories that he gained so often. However there was still some learning to be done, Reivaan began to practice the ability to levitate himself and other objects. It was something hard for Reivaan to do and secretly he began to reflect on Eaon in order to gain something close to peace within himself.
Levitation was a brutal form of Magic, it took Reivaan nearly all of his fifteenth year alive to learn how to levitate himself and some other objects. This was only half the battle though as without the power of telepathy it was useless to attempt anything with any complexity to it. Again Reivaan had to figure out how to do things not entirely based on instinct, but on the logic that Eaon had used. Reivaan searched again, little by little, giving the long dead Eaon more and more life, and giving him a chance to come back from his mental destruction. Reivaan, much like Eaon was unaware of the seemingly different entity within him, slowly fighting its way back into existence.
However in the mean time Reivaan's traning continued, the hardest part of his training was complete. He'd gained the ability to suspend enemies in midair and choke the life from them, or move objects at will. Reivaan furthered his abilities by being able to torture and mutate an enemy by burning away their flesh with power of unbelievable and almost unrivaled skill. Reivaan was already the best fighter amongst his school and a true prodigy in the eyes of Lord Zeia. It was at long last time for Reivaan to suffer the trails that he was required to feel long before he could become a Darke Knight in his master's eyes.
"Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you..."
The Trials of Skill
When Reivaan took the Trial of Skill he was forced to fight a woman name L'thari Zulu who was a failed apprentice of Zeia. She was unable to complete the Trials herself, and was told that if she could pass the Trial of Skill again, she could take all trials again. For a day it seemed she fought Reivaan, before he managed to thwart her by electricuting her through her eyes, killing the woman by frying her brain. The test was that of the hardest fight Reivaan had fought at the time and it was something that he would not forget easily.
The Trial of Flesh
The Trial of flesh was something that Reivaan was not prepared for. It was normally a wound or pain that one endured, however this made Reivaan think that he had already passed due to his birth at the hands of pain and torture. However he was wrong, and almost as if betrayed again he was drugged at the dinner the night before the trial of flesh and dragged deep into a dungeon. With his arms bound to the roof and his feet bound to the floor Reivaan was stripped of all clothing except a single loin cloth. Thousands of needles were prepared and dipped in black ink. Lord Zeia himself carried out the task of stabbing each into Reivaan's skin letting the ink drip into every fiber of his flesh creating an intricate full body tattoo. The ink burned like fire when it interacted with flesh for the first time and all the needles were salted and dripped in high acid materials that would burn the flesh, but not erode it away. For three days Reivaan, sleepless and hungry was tortured in this way until his eyes became perminately blood shot, and his blue eyes morphed blood red.
The Trial of Courage
In the face of true danger Reivaan was forced to over come an enemy who was thought to have far greater skill than he. Lord Zeia had Reivaan go through out the City of Chaos and destroy Lord Zeia's enemy Lord Selin. Lord Selin was a classic example of the typical Darke Knight. He truly believed that he had more power than any other person despite his only physical powers. Reivaan managed to defeat this man while it nearly cost him his life. Reivaan had to kill off thirty other men to get to him, and nearly got captured trying to escape. However Reivaan was victorious, and though he was wounded, like any good beast, he licked his wounds and came home ready for another hunt.
The Trial of Spirit, The Re-emergence of Eaon
In The Trial of Spirit, Reivaan was forced to look deep within himself to find out who he truly was. For a week Reivaan dove into his own heart and soul, and when he did he found Eaon. Eaon and Reivaan's encounter was one of hostility, Eaon was not happy to be revealed just yet. Reivaan was defeated in a mental battle of wills between the two of them, however in order to remain in secret Eaon let Reivaan take over, giving Reivaan a fabricated memory of what happened. Reivaan now believes that he faced twelve of his torturers and the spirits of the other students who Reivaan had killed personally and overcame any feelings of guilt. With this result, Lord Zeia was convinced that Reivaan was the perfect killer and apprentice and he joined the ranks of Lord Zeia's most elite pupils, as their master.
Reivaan, now a fully fledged Darke Knight began his rampage of power by helping attack many Knights in Trinity. He slaughtered many without question or concern and killed in the most brutal ways he could. Throwing enemies off of buildings, choking the life from them, severing their body parts. It was all something that Reivaan did without question or fear. It was not to last though, Reivaan was living on borrowed time, he was not in control as he believed he was, and Eaon's time in waiting was complete.
While Reivaan lay sleeping in his Master's house, his friends and students, even a woman whom he'd taken for his own lay with he in bed, Eaon returned. Reivaan awoke and tried to scream at a high pitched noise shreiking in his head, but no words came. His eyes, became clear and no longer blood shot, the deep, blood red color his eyes had morphed to returned to their gentle blue state, and the tattoos receded from from existence and out of sight within Eaon's new body. When Eaon looked around he knew he would not survive in the next to nothing Reivaan had been wearing. It wasn't a problem though, Eaon was smart and tactful, he'd used Reivaan's eyes and thoughts to memorize everything he needed to know to escape with his life.
Eaon managed to get Reivaan's armor on and obtain Reivaan's sword, which was a finely crafted Katana. Eaon almost got away unnoticed too, but the woman who had laid next to Reivaan awoke and was shocked when she looked at Eaon and noticed he looked so different in comparison to the man she'd been with a few moments before. Eaon quickly pulled the blade quickly and quietly across her throat, cutting through her neck, arteries, and vocal cords, giving her a quick, silent death. Eaon was not done though, he quickly made his way from the Temple that he'd called home since he was five, once again free in his eighteenth year alive.
Eaon ran far from the City of Chaos and quickly returned to his old home in Trinity, finding it empty and vacant. One of Eaon's neighbors spotted him though and recognized him immediately. He told Eaon that when he vanished his parents spent all their funds trying to find him and while out searching the country side, they were captured by Raiders from the City of Chaos. It was as if Eaon was now enduring the Trials of Flesh cast down by his counterpart's Dark Master.
Eaon moved quickly from the place he'd gone to find his home and went to the head council of the Trinity. There in front of them, surrounded by the leaders of the Trinity, dressed in the armor of the City of Chaos's Darke Knights, Eaon told them of his capture, his time suppressed. The Council said they would send someone to investigate, however Eaon insisted that he be in the raid party, claiming they'd taken from him his entire life, his family, and tortured him. Eaon had been made a prisoner to his own mind, he'd become an animal and hunted with one who had him live as an animal. Eaon had killed many and hurt many more, and it was time to repent, Eaon wanted to fight and help the people make even the scores.
Three months after that Eaon found himself dressed in a Knight's Armor, still carrying Reivaan's sword as proof of who he was. The Trinity's marched on the Temple in the City of Chaos and launched a bloody attack in the secrets of the night. Eaon moved ahead, slashing down foes as they came at him with ease, like with Reivaan, it came natural to him. The two knew each other perfectly and it was the best form of any type of ally or weapon the two, Eaon and Reivaan, could have. Finally after some time Eaon moved out of the main fight into the chambers of Lord Zeia and his apprentices. When Eaon entered he lost control to his undying hatred for Lord Zeia and his tattoos reformed, his eyes became bloodshot, and blood red consumed the blue in his eyes again. Eaon was still in control, but he'd taken on the beast like form and urges of Reivaan. Sword in hand and rage all around him, Eaon serached like a mad man until he found Lord Zeia in his studies.
The two engaged brief conversation, Lord Zeia believing he was talking to a traitor named Reivaan. He was shocked to find that Reivaan's body occupied another mastermind of strategy and skill, the ever graceful and powerful Eaon whom had his own ways of dealing with problems. The two finished their speech and drew their blades and engaged each other. The fight was drawn out, and Eaon was unable to defeat Lord Zeia again. Reivaan quickly consumed Eaon in his weakness and took over, only to find his Master ready to kill him in an instant for being a weak fool. Reivaan, snarled and in a show of defiance swong his blade wildly towards Zeia. It was the break Reivaan needed as he managed to cut off the tip of Zeia's pinky, his ring, middle, and index fingers all were cut in half.
Reivaan in anger grabbed his pained master's throat and with one hand pushed him up the wall and choked him with one hand. There was not enough power being used in the choking though; the kill would be unsatisfying if it continued in its current manner. Releasing his grip of Zeia, Reivaan used telepathy and levitation magics to force Zeia up the stone hard walls to nearly the roof of the room, choking the man with a new, more profound sense of power. Lord Zeia would not go without a fight, the man using powers of telepathy himself attempted to raise his sword from across the room and stab Reivaan in the back, a sure kill if it worked. Reivaan's power had grown and he dropped Zeia letting him fall to the floor hard as he spun around and cut the blade from the air. Reivaan did not end his slice at the blade though, he continued it and brought his blade full circle, cutting the eyes out of Zeia's head.
Lord Zeia screamed like a mad man, crying out for help, crying out that he alone had the power to stop death and that he would kill Reivaan. From behind the room were Reivaan had entered four apprentices of Zeia came, they were the other elites that had been trained to serve under Reivaan, and they wanted vengence for his wounds to Zeia. The first to charge was a young woman, blades in hand. Reivaan again using telepathy and levitation picked her off the ground by her throat and threw her out a near by window off a ten story drop. Needless to say when the woman hit the ground, she died.
Three others attacked at the same time, thinking that if they did so they could over whelm the prodigy, however they were not so lucky. One's leg was sliced vertically, cutting open his veins and giving him perhaps five more minutes to live. The next man had his throat just barely slit as Reivaan in a new form of agility cut his throat. The final one was stabbed through the stomach and killed on the spot, he had never gotten a chance to prove that he was a skilled fighter. Reivaan closed his eyes, thinking he was safe to bask in the glory of his kills when suddenly he was interupted by a crazed screaming from behind him.
As Reivaan turned around he saw the crazed old man electricuting himself. Lord Zeia used the head from the electric currents fired from his finger tips to burn his eyes to the point that he would not bleed to death from them, and using the same tactic he sealed the wounds on his finger tips. Somehow, despite being blind Lord Zeia managed to find his sword again (Reivaan always assumed it was through some magic). Reivaan fought the old man, noticing that unless his hands touched something he failed to find them without a great deal of effort. The man was merely childs play and Reivaan was having fun toying with him as if he was a child trying to stand up in all seriousness to someone of great might. In a flourish of a spin Reivaan cut the tendon in Lord Zeia's left leg and the knee cap, forcing him to fall over.
Reivaan quickly kicked the blade far away from the defeated man and picked him up by his throat again, and slammed him through the same window next to the one Reivaan had thrown the apprentice through earlier. Hanging the man out the ten story drop Reivaan began to choke the life out of him with a sadistic smile upon his face. It was then when the other Knights caught up to Reivaan and began to urge him to not kill Lord Zeia, but let him stand trial. It took much effort, but the bloodshot eyes vanished, however the blood red that consumed the blue remained. Reivaan could be reasoned with, and he threw the man in through the third window in the room and slammed him into a stone pillar. Lord Zeia was captured and his reign as a Darke Lord was over.
Reivaan was still mostly in control and in rage he grabbed up his sword and began to slash away at one of the wounded apprentices, cutting him and stabbing him through the chest and heart. One of the Knights tried to go forward to stop Reivaan, but he was stopped by his commander, telling him that the Darke Knight was doomed to die from their initial wounds anyway, and if anything Reivaan was speeding up the process. Again something changed about Reivaan, he threw his blood soaked blade away from the body and his red eyes returned to blue once again. However the Tattoos remained and ran over to the man who was nearly dead from being stabbed and began to bash his face in with his armored fists.
The man's nose broke and his teeth where knocked out and his eyes swelled shut. The beating continued and he was bloodied and battered. Slowly, and more painfully than before, in perhaps the most brutal barbaric kill that Reivaan committed the man was slain. Finally after this kill the tattoos faded and Reivaan passed out from exhaustion, when the body awoke again Eaon was in control. Eaon was told that for the crimes of brutality and needless killing normally his life would be considered null and void, however for the capture and disarmament of a Powerful Darke Knight, Eaon would be allowed to live if he pledged to serve the council as a Knight forever. Eaon not having much of a choice in the matter agreed at the age of twenty.
For his twenty first year alive Eaon spent a great deal of time in meditation, learning more and more about the Demon called Reivaan inside of him. Eaon spoke of Reivaan as an "It" as that was it's name when it was born. Soon Eaon managed to conflict with Reivaan on a more personalize level and upon meeting him in a further more powerful conflict conquered Reivaan for the last time in his life he fought him for a power struggle. The councilor noted to the High Council that Eaon was not in control and suffered from skitzophrenia, however it had come under control and further more Eaon fought to find his parents who were lost to him.
Eaon also spent a great deal of time working for various charity and organizations that help better the people of Trinity and refugies who like Eaon had suffered at the hands of the City of Chaos. Eaon also began to learn magic from a preist in his spare time, learning to heal some wounds and mental afflictions. The people of many charities and even some of Eaon's fellow knights began to call him "Father Eaon Norellia, The Pure of Heart" for his true nature. While Eaon had become realtively distant in his time, there were yet a few who strove to know him completely and utterly and when they did they found him a fascinating person. Eaon spent a good deal of his time training too, focusing on ridding the world of pain, and due to his natural talents he rose in power quickly and with great skill.
When Eaon was twenty two he achived the second highest rank possible in the Knights. For the next year of his life Eaon served both as a political figure for the Knights, but also as one of their greatest fighters. Eaon became known for a new form of neutral magics that caused a violet, and red colored attack that caused many types of burns to the body. This technique allowed Eaon to easily take down enemies that did not need to be killed and occasionally using his darker half to take down enemies that were very skilled. This was a good thing as one such enemy killed Sir Leon Theya, the leader of the Knights. Eaon's skills had proved themselves dozens of times before this and the people of the world believed it time for someone to make a change for the better and with unrivaled support of the council as well as the population of Trinity Eaon became the new head of the knights.
Eaon finally turned Twenty three marking the end of his story up to his current date. Dressed in the highest of armor, Eaon wears Reivaan's Katana as a reminder of his past, refusing to let slip the pain and chaos that is his life. Still in secret Eaon knows his Darke Magics, and even practices them on the battlefields when engaging enemies alone. Eaon has developed a theory that its better to cause immense amounts of pain and agony to a being and get it to cough up its secrets and maybe save a few lives than let it linger on for eternity and not give a word and solve nothing. Eaon has made clear though that despite this, he is not an exicutioner, in fact quite to the opposite Eaon consideres himself a protector of life in all it's forms and will always fight to protect it.
While this continues Eaon has also never given up the search for his parents, despite his fame and power Eaon still lives in a middle class home that he was cheated out of as a boy. Inside Eaon's private study any information that he has that might relevate to prisoners or his parents are linked and he continues to search for them almost obsessively in his free time.
Finally the last conflict that plagues Eaon is the conflict within him between his control and Reivaan's. Reivaan claims that he wants power and would do anything to get on the High Council and send Trinity into the hell fires that are the City of Chaos. Eaon refused a promotion to the Council knowing that and has to practice much skill and control over himself so that his darker emotions such as greed and anger do not get control of him. The demon known as Reivaan and the Saint called Eaon still exist as one and strive for a better future no mater what the cost. If there is darkness in the world Eaon will not stop until it has been all but eleminated; that is Eaon's final wish.
Gender: Male
HUMAN
Inhabitance: (born)Trinity (now)Trinity
Age: 23
Rank: Knight
Apearance:
Personality:
"I am to serve the council, until death or my sins be undone."
Eaon is the incarnation of nobility, pride, and power amongst the Knights. He has sworn his life to carrying out their will and ensuring their survival and even being allowed to take on the Sir Name "The Pure at Heart" despite Eaon's dark and bloody past before he became a Knight for the Trinity. Eaon is seemingly fearless in the face of danger, often boasting that "In order to understand all things, we must stare the truth, no matter how ugly directly in it's cold eyes.". However, Eaon is not truly so brave, in fact, Eaon has often found himself in situation were he'd have rather turned and fled from whatever problem plagued him. Eaon never did though, and it's not because he is brave, but that Eaon is extremely courageous in that while he is afraid he still chooses to act.
Despite this human aspect to Eaon's personality, his known nobility is in his undying loyalty to the Trinity, and his seeking for the ultimate truth and peace within them. Eaon's enemies are those of the Trinity's be it armies of demons or men, if ordered to destroy the enemy, Eaon will do so without hesitation in the most efficent manner humanly possible. These scenes of bloodshed that Eaon has seen from this personality, and the pain he has caused willingly with his own two hands have taken their toll on Eaon. Emotionally he is detatched from people, having lost contact with loved ones, and not really finding relationships such as friendship viable. For Eaon the only affections needed are between he, his blade, his comrades in arms, and his enemy. This causes Eaon often to come off as cold, or uncaring. Eaon doesn't mean for this though, it just happens, really Eaon cares for all things in someway just lacks the means to show for it. It was due to this Eaon received his Sir Name "The Pure at Heart." because that was all Eaon was; pure in heart, but not in action, history, or existence.
Supposing the impossible was to happen though and someone could penetrate the cold-as-steel shell that is Eaon's personality and go deep into his heart they would find someone who longs to be loved and to love. Eaon never knew happiness during his past, or if Eaon did know happiness he doesn't acknowledge it due to the deep regrets Eaon carries about the crimes he committed. This deep regret channels through Eaon and gives him strength in a sadistic sense, allowing him to cleave enemies in a self-loathing furry that has thus far been unmatched by any and everyone.
It's in this state of true emotional bounds that no one sees that the biggest flaw in who Eaon is exists. When it first developed Eaon refused to acknowledge it's existence until he it manifested into what it is now and Eaon was forced to face it. It is the skitzophrenic personality called formally as "Reivaan", but more often (and much to Reivaan's dislike) called "It". Reivaan is a delusional, psychopath who believes that he was happy with bloodshed and longs for it, and that when Eaon was living out his darker days he experienced more advanced and developed emotions such as love and hate.
Reivaan thrives off of the feeling of control which other than making him extremely dangerous and hard to suppress at times, makes him the perfect killer. The ultimate form of Control is when the enemy is gasping for air with your bloody, soiled hands around his throat. If it brings on pain and agony then Reivaan enjoys it. Reivaan most commonly is known to accompany the full release of Eaon's restraints on his power. While this may be a good combination allowing Eaon to release his inhibitions that keep him from committing whatever sins and travesties are needed to win a battle it furthers the control of Reivaan in comparison to Eaon. While Eaon is a man of restraint and submission, Reivaan is one who has only known the maximum in control and power. This makes Reivaan fear loosing power, so in return Reivaan pushes to weaken Eaon to the point that Eaon had no choice but to rely on Reivaan. So far Eaon has not has his will degraded so much as to be forced to rely on Reivaan for anything other than those serious situations when his strength alone was not enough, but still the seductive blood lust and power is something almost all humans crave, and in this since, even the humble Eaon is not free.
Power has become a prison for Eaon, the more he gains the more Eaon wants. As a result Eaon has forced himself in the ultimate show of control to remain as a Knight. While this has forced him to give up his chances at greater power, possibly forever, Reivaan wants only more and strives to corrupt Eaon's will and take it. Reivaan is never to be trusted nor relied on for much if anything. In fact the only reason Eaon relies on this phantom menace is because he knows Reivaan will do nothing to endanger Eaon's life, and will always lead himself to victory. Reivaan ultimately is a forsaken power, the true essence of strength and negativity within Eaon. While Eaon is the Knight, The Pure of Heart, everyone knows Reivaan as being the Darke Knight, The Demon Corruptor.
History:
Eaon was born in Trinity Lands to a moderately wealthy family. Eaon was always protected as a child taught deep the roots of dark and light, good and evil, black and white. Stories of heroes tales where they were always confronted with a great evil that seemed impossible to overcome. Eaon was fascinated with these stories, these heroes and the extreme amount of bravery they must have had. Eaon used to lay awake at night and wish that he was as brave and noble as they who faced the deepest of hell's darkness and despite seeing these awful truths, they walked away victorious.
These things caused Eaon to, from the time he could stand, be interested in the martial combats of Swordsmanship. Like other small children that lived around him, Eaon was able to play fight with them almost when ever he wanted to. However Eaon was the strongest, and most skilled of all of them. His skills did not go unnoticed either. Little did Eaon know a seemingly average teacher at his school would change Eaon's life drastically.
When Eaon reached the age of ten, his teacher noticed his abilities with a sword were not just what happened in comparison to other youth, but a talent that had carried on into his pre-adolesent stages. It was late in the evening one day after class that the Teacher approached Eaon on his way home from school and asked him for a quick spar. Eaon not knowing any better and always enjoying combat agreed and began to spar with the man. For awhile it seemed as if Eaon was winning easily, however soon the man turned the tides, unleashing great skill and ability that dwarfed Eaon. Soon Eaon was defeated at the hands of the man and couldn't figure out why. Then the man told Eaon that the skills he possessed could not be learned in the Trinity, but rather in the City of Darkness.
Eaon tried to turn and run, but the man was much, much faster than Eaon and stronger and Eaon was captured, and pulled away from the Trinity. In Chaos Eaon was taken and bound, for three years he endured torture and abuse like none other until his perspective on the world was altered drastically. Torture at the hands of electric storms and having glass shards rubbed into your skin alters one quickly, but over the course of three years it drastically changes a person. Eaon no longer knew himself as Eaon, but as what his captors called him "It" Eaon was stripped of his humanity and pride, he was merely an object. One week the torturers stopped coming and Eaon went hungry, little did he know he was at the end of his time in captivity and the starvation he was put through was to keep him from destroying his keepers when he was released at last.
Eaon was dragged from his cell up several flights of stairs into a large room, it was a training room of sorts. Around Eaon there where many fighters of all shapes and sizes, powers and abilities. They looked at Eaon in disgust and Eaon managed to hear several of them commenting, saying as if questioning if he was "It". Eaon was dropped in front of his old teacher, scorned and starved, tortured and humiliated and forced to face the darker truth of his existence, he was Eaon no longer, but a new being, one called Reivaan.
Slowly like a wounded animal Reivaan regained his strength and began to want only revenge. He was given a sword once again and told to strike down the students who thought they were above him. Without hesitation Reivaan began to cut them and strike them down, all this happening at the young age of thirteen Reivaan was an unrivaled killer already. It didn't matter how old or experienced the students, if they stood against him it was inevitable that they would be killed. Reivaan was finally ready to begin his training as the prime pupil to his teacher, Lord Zeia.
Lord Zeia was a powerful Darke Knight who'd incorporated some Mage skills and magics into his fighting style, making him a more philosophical and religious leader and combatant than most, further making him more and more deadly opponent. His style was unique in that it was that of a duelists made for focusing aggression onto an enemy forcing them to take the defensive, that as well combinations of magics such as bolts of lightning and bursts of speed made him a strong and vicious foe that was impossible to beat as a normal warrior. This meant that in order for Reivaan to become strong enough to defeat Lord Zeia he would have to learn another form of combat, he would have to learn some Magic. Zeia did not know any normal Magic only that of Darke Magic, something considered to be evil by those in Trinity. Still Reivaan was not from Trinity, Reivaan was from the womb of torture and pain, agony and suffering, and he was shaped in the fires of hell. Reivaan had no limitations and quickly began to pick up the spells and magics of Darke Magic.
Reivaan had a particular talent in manifesting his rage into bolts of lightning that were used to over power Eaon back in Trinity. Reivaan's lightning was infamous amongst the school he knew and trained in, killing off the weaker students while becoming strong in the eyes of his Master, Lord Zeia. Soon it was seen that Reivaan had mastered the use of these bolts of lightning that he used so expertly in the mutating tortures and the brutal victories that he gained so often. However there was still some learning to be done, Reivaan began to practice the ability to levitate himself and other objects. It was something hard for Reivaan to do and secretly he began to reflect on Eaon in order to gain something close to peace within himself.
Levitation was a brutal form of Magic, it took Reivaan nearly all of his fifteenth year alive to learn how to levitate himself and some other objects. This was only half the battle though as without the power of telepathy it was useless to attempt anything with any complexity to it. Again Reivaan had to figure out how to do things not entirely based on instinct, but on the logic that Eaon had used. Reivaan searched again, little by little, giving the long dead Eaon more and more life, and giving him a chance to come back from his mental destruction. Reivaan, much like Eaon was unaware of the seemingly different entity within him, slowly fighting its way back into existence.
However in the mean time Reivaan's traning continued, the hardest part of his training was complete. He'd gained the ability to suspend enemies in midair and choke the life from them, or move objects at will. Reivaan furthered his abilities by being able to torture and mutate an enemy by burning away their flesh with power of unbelievable and almost unrivaled skill. Reivaan was already the best fighter amongst his school and a true prodigy in the eyes of Lord Zeia. It was at long last time for Reivaan to suffer the trails that he was required to feel long before he could become a Darke Knight in his master's eyes.
"Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you; tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face; tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you; and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you..."
The Trials of Skill
When Reivaan took the Trial of Skill he was forced to fight a woman name L'thari Zulu who was a failed apprentice of Zeia. She was unable to complete the Trials herself, and was told that if she could pass the Trial of Skill again, she could take all trials again. For a day it seemed she fought Reivaan, before he managed to thwart her by electricuting her through her eyes, killing the woman by frying her brain. The test was that of the hardest fight Reivaan had fought at the time and it was something that he would not forget easily.
The Trial of Flesh
The Trial of flesh was something that Reivaan was not prepared for. It was normally a wound or pain that one endured, however this made Reivaan think that he had already passed due to his birth at the hands of pain and torture. However he was wrong, and almost as if betrayed again he was drugged at the dinner the night before the trial of flesh and dragged deep into a dungeon. With his arms bound to the roof and his feet bound to the floor Reivaan was stripped of all clothing except a single loin cloth. Thousands of needles were prepared and dipped in black ink. Lord Zeia himself carried out the task of stabbing each into Reivaan's skin letting the ink drip into every fiber of his flesh creating an intricate full body tattoo. The ink burned like fire when it interacted with flesh for the first time and all the needles were salted and dripped in high acid materials that would burn the flesh, but not erode it away. For three days Reivaan, sleepless and hungry was tortured in this way until his eyes became perminately blood shot, and his blue eyes morphed blood red.
The Trial of Courage
In the face of true danger Reivaan was forced to over come an enemy who was thought to have far greater skill than he. Lord Zeia had Reivaan go through out the City of Chaos and destroy Lord Zeia's enemy Lord Selin. Lord Selin was a classic example of the typical Darke Knight. He truly believed that he had more power than any other person despite his only physical powers. Reivaan managed to defeat this man while it nearly cost him his life. Reivaan had to kill off thirty other men to get to him, and nearly got captured trying to escape. However Reivaan was victorious, and though he was wounded, like any good beast, he licked his wounds and came home ready for another hunt.
The Trial of Spirit, The Re-emergence of Eaon
In The Trial of Spirit, Reivaan was forced to look deep within himself to find out who he truly was. For a week Reivaan dove into his own heart and soul, and when he did he found Eaon. Eaon and Reivaan's encounter was one of hostility, Eaon was not happy to be revealed just yet. Reivaan was defeated in a mental battle of wills between the two of them, however in order to remain in secret Eaon let Reivaan take over, giving Reivaan a fabricated memory of what happened. Reivaan now believes that he faced twelve of his torturers and the spirits of the other students who Reivaan had killed personally and overcame any feelings of guilt. With this result, Lord Zeia was convinced that Reivaan was the perfect killer and apprentice and he joined the ranks of Lord Zeia's most elite pupils, as their master.
Reivaan, now a fully fledged Darke Knight began his rampage of power by helping attack many Knights in Trinity. He slaughtered many without question or concern and killed in the most brutal ways he could. Throwing enemies off of buildings, choking the life from them, severing their body parts. It was all something that Reivaan did without question or fear. It was not to last though, Reivaan was living on borrowed time, he was not in control as he believed he was, and Eaon's time in waiting was complete.
While Reivaan lay sleeping in his Master's house, his friends and students, even a woman whom he'd taken for his own lay with he in bed, Eaon returned. Reivaan awoke and tried to scream at a high pitched noise shreiking in his head, but no words came. His eyes, became clear and no longer blood shot, the deep, blood red color his eyes had morphed to returned to their gentle blue state, and the tattoos receded from from existence and out of sight within Eaon's new body. When Eaon looked around he knew he would not survive in the next to nothing Reivaan had been wearing. It wasn't a problem though, Eaon was smart and tactful, he'd used Reivaan's eyes and thoughts to memorize everything he needed to know to escape with his life.
Eaon managed to get Reivaan's armor on and obtain Reivaan's sword, which was a finely crafted Katana. Eaon almost got away unnoticed too, but the woman who had laid next to Reivaan awoke and was shocked when she looked at Eaon and noticed he looked so different in comparison to the man she'd been with a few moments before. Eaon quickly pulled the blade quickly and quietly across her throat, cutting through her neck, arteries, and vocal cords, giving her a quick, silent death. Eaon was not done though, he quickly made his way from the Temple that he'd called home since he was five, once again free in his eighteenth year alive.
Eaon ran far from the City of Chaos and quickly returned to his old home in Trinity, finding it empty and vacant. One of Eaon's neighbors spotted him though and recognized him immediately. He told Eaon that when he vanished his parents spent all their funds trying to find him and while out searching the country side, they were captured by Raiders from the City of Chaos. It was as if Eaon was now enduring the Trials of Flesh cast down by his counterpart's Dark Master.
Eaon moved quickly from the place he'd gone to find his home and went to the head council of the Trinity. There in front of them, surrounded by the leaders of the Trinity, dressed in the armor of the City of Chaos's Darke Knights, Eaon told them of his capture, his time suppressed. The Council said they would send someone to investigate, however Eaon insisted that he be in the raid party, claiming they'd taken from him his entire life, his family, and tortured him. Eaon had been made a prisoner to his own mind, he'd become an animal and hunted with one who had him live as an animal. Eaon had killed many and hurt many more, and it was time to repent, Eaon wanted to fight and help the people make even the scores.
Three months after that Eaon found himself dressed in a Knight's Armor, still carrying Reivaan's sword as proof of who he was. The Trinity's marched on the Temple in the City of Chaos and launched a bloody attack in the secrets of the night. Eaon moved ahead, slashing down foes as they came at him with ease, like with Reivaan, it came natural to him. The two knew each other perfectly and it was the best form of any type of ally or weapon the two, Eaon and Reivaan, could have. Finally after some time Eaon moved out of the main fight into the chambers of Lord Zeia and his apprentices. When Eaon entered he lost control to his undying hatred for Lord Zeia and his tattoos reformed, his eyes became bloodshot, and blood red consumed the blue in his eyes again. Eaon was still in control, but he'd taken on the beast like form and urges of Reivaan. Sword in hand and rage all around him, Eaon serached like a mad man until he found Lord Zeia in his studies.
The two engaged brief conversation, Lord Zeia believing he was talking to a traitor named Reivaan. He was shocked to find that Reivaan's body occupied another mastermind of strategy and skill, the ever graceful and powerful Eaon whom had his own ways of dealing with problems. The two finished their speech and drew their blades and engaged each other. The fight was drawn out, and Eaon was unable to defeat Lord Zeia again. Reivaan quickly consumed Eaon in his weakness and took over, only to find his Master ready to kill him in an instant for being a weak fool. Reivaan, snarled and in a show of defiance swong his blade wildly towards Zeia. It was the break Reivaan needed as he managed to cut off the tip of Zeia's pinky, his ring, middle, and index fingers all were cut in half.
Reivaan in anger grabbed his pained master's throat and with one hand pushed him up the wall and choked him with one hand. There was not enough power being used in the choking though; the kill would be unsatisfying if it continued in its current manner. Releasing his grip of Zeia, Reivaan used telepathy and levitation magics to force Zeia up the stone hard walls to nearly the roof of the room, choking the man with a new, more profound sense of power. Lord Zeia would not go without a fight, the man using powers of telepathy himself attempted to raise his sword from across the room and stab Reivaan in the back, a sure kill if it worked. Reivaan's power had grown and he dropped Zeia letting him fall to the floor hard as he spun around and cut the blade from the air. Reivaan did not end his slice at the blade though, he continued it and brought his blade full circle, cutting the eyes out of Zeia's head.
Lord Zeia screamed like a mad man, crying out for help, crying out that he alone had the power to stop death and that he would kill Reivaan. From behind the room were Reivaan had entered four apprentices of Zeia came, they were the other elites that had been trained to serve under Reivaan, and they wanted vengence for his wounds to Zeia. The first to charge was a young woman, blades in hand. Reivaan again using telepathy and levitation picked her off the ground by her throat and threw her out a near by window off a ten story drop. Needless to say when the woman hit the ground, she died.
Three others attacked at the same time, thinking that if they did so they could over whelm the prodigy, however they were not so lucky. One's leg was sliced vertically, cutting open his veins and giving him perhaps five more minutes to live. The next man had his throat just barely slit as Reivaan in a new form of agility cut his throat. The final one was stabbed through the stomach and killed on the spot, he had never gotten a chance to prove that he was a skilled fighter. Reivaan closed his eyes, thinking he was safe to bask in the glory of his kills when suddenly he was interupted by a crazed screaming from behind him.
As Reivaan turned around he saw the crazed old man electricuting himself. Lord Zeia used the head from the electric currents fired from his finger tips to burn his eyes to the point that he would not bleed to death from them, and using the same tactic he sealed the wounds on his finger tips. Somehow, despite being blind Lord Zeia managed to find his sword again (Reivaan always assumed it was through some magic). Reivaan fought the old man, noticing that unless his hands touched something he failed to find them without a great deal of effort. The man was merely childs play and Reivaan was having fun toying with him as if he was a child trying to stand up in all seriousness to someone of great might. In a flourish of a spin Reivaan cut the tendon in Lord Zeia's left leg and the knee cap, forcing him to fall over.
Reivaan quickly kicked the blade far away from the defeated man and picked him up by his throat again, and slammed him through the same window next to the one Reivaan had thrown the apprentice through earlier. Hanging the man out the ten story drop Reivaan began to choke the life out of him with a sadistic smile upon his face. It was then when the other Knights caught up to Reivaan and began to urge him to not kill Lord Zeia, but let him stand trial. It took much effort, but the bloodshot eyes vanished, however the blood red that consumed the blue remained. Reivaan could be reasoned with, and he threw the man in through the third window in the room and slammed him into a stone pillar. Lord Zeia was captured and his reign as a Darke Lord was over.
Reivaan was still mostly in control and in rage he grabbed up his sword and began to slash away at one of the wounded apprentices, cutting him and stabbing him through the chest and heart. One of the Knights tried to go forward to stop Reivaan, but he was stopped by his commander, telling him that the Darke Knight was doomed to die from their initial wounds anyway, and if anything Reivaan was speeding up the process. Again something changed about Reivaan, he threw his blood soaked blade away from the body and his red eyes returned to blue once again. However the Tattoos remained and ran over to the man who was nearly dead from being stabbed and began to bash his face in with his armored fists.
The man's nose broke and his teeth where knocked out and his eyes swelled shut. The beating continued and he was bloodied and battered. Slowly, and more painfully than before, in perhaps the most brutal barbaric kill that Reivaan committed the man was slain. Finally after this kill the tattoos faded and Reivaan passed out from exhaustion, when the body awoke again Eaon was in control. Eaon was told that for the crimes of brutality and needless killing normally his life would be considered null and void, however for the capture and disarmament of a Powerful Darke Knight, Eaon would be allowed to live if he pledged to serve the council as a Knight forever. Eaon not having much of a choice in the matter agreed at the age of twenty.
For his twenty first year alive Eaon spent a great deal of time in meditation, learning more and more about the Demon called Reivaan inside of him. Eaon spoke of Reivaan as an "It" as that was it's name when it was born. Soon Eaon managed to conflict with Reivaan on a more personalize level and upon meeting him in a further more powerful conflict conquered Reivaan for the last time in his life he fought him for a power struggle. The councilor noted to the High Council that Eaon was not in control and suffered from skitzophrenia, however it had come under control and further more Eaon fought to find his parents who were lost to him.
Eaon also spent a great deal of time working for various charity and organizations that help better the people of Trinity and refugies who like Eaon had suffered at the hands of the City of Chaos. Eaon also began to learn magic from a preist in his spare time, learning to heal some wounds and mental afflictions. The people of many charities and even some of Eaon's fellow knights began to call him "Father Eaon Norellia, The Pure of Heart" for his true nature. While Eaon had become realtively distant in his time, there were yet a few who strove to know him completely and utterly and when they did they found him a fascinating person. Eaon spent a good deal of his time training too, focusing on ridding the world of pain, and due to his natural talents he rose in power quickly and with great skill.
When Eaon was twenty two he achived the second highest rank possible in the Knights. For the next year of his life Eaon served both as a political figure for the Knights, but also as one of their greatest fighters. Eaon became known for a new form of neutral magics that caused a violet, and red colored attack that caused many types of burns to the body. This technique allowed Eaon to easily take down enemies that did not need to be killed and occasionally using his darker half to take down enemies that were very skilled. This was a good thing as one such enemy killed Sir Leon Theya, the leader of the Knights. Eaon's skills had proved themselves dozens of times before this and the people of the world believed it time for someone to make a change for the better and with unrivaled support of the council as well as the population of Trinity Eaon became the new head of the knights.
Eaon finally turned Twenty three marking the end of his story up to his current date. Dressed in the highest of armor, Eaon wears Reivaan's Katana as a reminder of his past, refusing to let slip the pain and chaos that is his life. Still in secret Eaon knows his Darke Magics, and even practices them on the battlefields when engaging enemies alone. Eaon has developed a theory that its better to cause immense amounts of pain and agony to a being and get it to cough up its secrets and maybe save a few lives than let it linger on for eternity and not give a word and solve nothing. Eaon has made clear though that despite this, he is not an exicutioner, in fact quite to the opposite Eaon consideres himself a protector of life in all it's forms and will always fight to protect it.
While this continues Eaon has also never given up the search for his parents, despite his fame and power Eaon still lives in a middle class home that he was cheated out of as a boy. Inside Eaon's private study any information that he has that might relevate to prisoners or his parents are linked and he continues to search for them almost obsessively in his free time.
Finally the last conflict that plagues Eaon is the conflict within him between his control and Reivaan's. Reivaan claims that he wants power and would do anything to get on the High Council and send Trinity into the hell fires that are the City of Chaos. Eaon refused a promotion to the Council knowing that and has to practice much skill and control over himself so that his darker emotions such as greed and anger do not get control of him. The demon known as Reivaan and the Saint called Eaon still exist as one and strive for a better future no mater what the cost. If there is darkness in the world Eaon will not stop until it has been all but eleminated; that is Eaon's final wish.
