Character Sheet
Background
Erast is a child of the synthesis of the two sects, one from Rhaelia and one from Kajiata. While openly this merging has been celebrated by the peoples as symbolic of the new future, the higher and most secret and conservative groups of the sects are greatly afraid. Worrying about the future of this war of souls they find themselves enmeshed in, they consulted their seers and oracles and drew on old items and magics of great divining power, and with their aid chose a number of children from the hordes of foundlings presented each year at the various temples. Each one would be raised and given charge of a dominion, and the caring for the souls within that space. One for the land of Rhaelia, one for the sky, one of the cities and so forth for Kajiata as well. Foretelling the construction of the Avanestra, Erast was chosen to care for the Void of space. As foreseen, all of the children developed the beginnings of great powers and abilities, and some are ready to be sent out into the world. Erast is one of that number.
Educated by the sects, Erast acts as a Guide upon the Avanestra, helping his kindred souls along the Path. The sects have sent him so that he might understand his dominion, and through that understanding, one day rule.
Personality
Raised by the inner sanctum of the Sects, Erast comes off as religiously conservative and fanatical, though he has learnt to hide it among the heathens. Since he was raised with the idea that he was destined to be the Pope of Space he can be arrogant and self-important. What effect the infinite majesty of space will have on him is uncertain; it might humble him or drive him to further heights of arrogance.
Appearance
Erast is still young, though his hair is beginning to grey, including his curtly clipped beard. He wears a simple brown robes, with the cut and dyed markings of a Guide. His travelling companion is a small young hawk with speckled black and grey feathers. It appears normal except that it has a small purple gem embedded in its forehead.
