Appearance - Sasha:
Age: 15
Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 105 lbs.
Hair: Long Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Before you stands a teenage boy, his long blonde hair tied loosely at his shoulders. His blue eyes lie behind a pair of round spectacles perched on his nose, and an inkpen is wedged in behind his ear. His slight frame and pale skin are tell you that this boy has not seen the outdoors much. He is dressed in a loose linen shirt and a brown leather vest, over which he wears an ostentatious blue and red harlequin patterned coat. His trousers are plain brown wool and his shoes are similarly plain brown leather. The only weapon the young man bears is a simple belt knife.
A hulikng, shrouded figure stands before you. Its entire form seems to be covered in, or perhaps made of, some sort of black material. The only exception a white, seemingly porcelain, mask that is either worn by or simply part of the creature. The mask is featureless except for two eyeslots and a faintly glowing blue symbol on it. The things stands upright, perhaps on two legs, and you can occasionally see the cloth on its torso move as if arms are hidden within the folds.
Personality:
Sasha is an impetuous young man, carefree and living in the moment. He's lived many years as an urchin, and, as such, has learned how to get by with very little. He cares more for knowledge and power than a bag of gold, though the gold is nice. Since the manifestation of his arcane gift, he's learned to leverage the power of the imposing figure of his eidolon to get what he needs. While Sasha doesn't go out of his way to harm others, he doesn't exactly shy away from it when necessary. He is more than willing to use other people's perceptions of him against them, especially when they think he's weak or naive.
Background:
Aleksandr was born from an affair between Arlandian Elindir, an elven diplomat from Kyonin, and Katarina Lebeda, a minor noble of the House Lebeda in Brevoy. When Aleksandr was born with half elven features, Dimitriy, Katarina's husband, was furious and had the boy given over to an orphanage, claiming a stillbirth to save face.
Aleksandr was named by the matron of the orphanage, though he is usually referred to by the diminuitive 'Sasha'. The boy grew up to be very charming and was taken in by a couple named Vladimir and Irina Volkov. He was happy in their home in rural Brevoy. When his gift manifested in his 10th year of life, however, the villagers thought the boy had summoned a demon, unaware, like most, of the nature of Eidolons. Vladimir and Irina gave their lives to save their boy, and Sasha escaped, carried to the wilderness in the arms of Arctalan, his eidolon.
For almost a year, Sasha refused to use his newfound power, hating the fact that it stole his parents from him. Living on the streets as a young boy is hard though, and eventually he summoned Arctalan again when some street toughs threatened his life. He started to form a real bond with the eidolon, having no one left in his life anyhow.
During all this time, Sasha's blood father, Arlandian, had been searching for the boy. Each time he seemed to have a lead it fizzled out. First at the orphanage, since the Volkov's had moved out of the city shortly after adopting Sasha, and then at Sasha's village. Shortly after Sasha's 12th birthday, however, Arlandian tracked him down. Finding the boy as a destitute urchin galled Arlandian. A devout worshipper of Calistria, he vowed revenge on Katarina, but sought a complete revenge. He nurtured Sasha's gift, finding him a tutor in the arcane arts. When the calls for an expedition into the River Kingdoms was called, he used his diplomatic sway to secure an invitation for his boy. The boy would gain notoriety, maybe even rule his own kingdom, and then he would reveal the boy's true identity to his mother and shame her for what she threw away.
For Sasha's part, he is happy to have his father again, and even if it is a sort of detached love, it's far better than his lot in life was before. He is also excited to go on the expedition, though he has some trepidation, as he is extremely young.
