Background, Personality, and Appearance:
Akarus was born to a noble family in Oppara, where he had all the indulgences he could ever want, living in excess without a care in the world. His greatest worries in life were which soirees he would be invited to, and if the chef was making his favorite meal. He cared for himself, and nobody else. However, his life changed drastically one day. He witnessed a young girl being accosted by a group of thugs in an alleyway, and he heard a female voice in his head, Spare the world from the cruelty of those criminals. End their menace, and begin to unravel the corruption of the cosmos. And he intervened, fighting the thugs, but in the process being stabbed several times. But he found that the blood running out of him was not painful, or weakened him at all. It glowed with power of the divine, and it strengthened him, allowing him to fight off the thugs. Once the fight was done, he collapsed onto the hard cobbles of the alleyway, his vision growing dark. He saw a bright light above him, and followed it, arriving in a expansive white field, an unearthly woman towering above him. Her bone-white skin was covered in scars and a blindfold shrouded her eyes. Vast crimson wings rose from her shoulder blades, and she held a blood-red dagger in one hand. She nodded at him, and he heard the voice again stronger and more commanding, Your task is not yet done. Live as my champion of righteousness, and you will be rewarded. Rise Akarus, strike as my blade, and bleed as my blood, and your devotion will prevail. Akarus awoke, his bleeding stopped, and a rune inscribed on his chest, which he would later come to understand as Celestial for "champion." He devoted his life to Vildeis, becoming a holy warrior for the Cardinal Martyr. He met a group of adventurers, and after a series of adventures, they travel to Dragon Mountain.
Akarus is a devout worshipper of Vildeis, utterly commited to the eradication of evil in the world. He is incredibly compassionate, and kind to those in need. In battle he is utterly ferocious, bleeding holy power and bravely striking any foe within reach. He is generally unwilling to deal with evil creatures, preferring to try and redeem them if possible, or destroying them if that is not an option.
Akarus is a tall Taldan man, with long black hair framing a pair of deep grey eyes. He wears a set of half plate, specially crafted to allow his divine scars to be seen and bleed freely. A large rune sits in the middle of his chest, with twisting celestial script down his arms, referring to things like the righteousness of martyrdom, the power of holy blood, and the strength of one’s willpower. He wears an iron holy symbol of Vildeis on a chain around his neck, and he carries a longsword and shield.
