Etaria Haedros (E-tar-e-a Hay-drose)

The ascendant leader of the pillar warriors during the aftermath of the Dogarus-Heodar war.While she did not wield divine magic, her arcane power, granted to her by the dragon Matrias, was enough to push her to ascendence, and by her power alone, she was granted a place among the Pillar Warriors. Etaria has kept her Pillar Warrior's oath, and has defended Fafnia well. Her one love was taken from her in her middling years. She now regrets exacting vengeance, as it cost her the pureness she was known for. After that, she left the pillar warriors, but maintained her power to defend what was left of her family.

Physical Description

Body Features

Hers is a slimmer figure than most other draconin. Her greatest feature would be her ascendance, her wings. This is considered the pinnacle of physical attraction for a draconin. Though few have seen it, she has a scar running from the base of her neck, to her lower back.

Facial Features

She has a shorter face than most draconin. Her scaled skin wrapps around her horns. Though her eyes are an angry red, they convey a much more gentle expression.

Identifying Characteristics

Ascendance is her most dominant feature. Though she was elegant before, ascendance has put her beyond anything the average draconin man could ever hope to see. She would often paint the tips of her wings red. This did not effect her flight in the slightest, but made her all the more intimidating when she spread her wings.

Special abilities

Though her magic is not divine, it was enough to push her to ascendence. This is the main reason why she was allowed to join the Pillar Warriors. She wielded arcane magic beyond any wizard was capable of.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Etaria Asiogon wasn't always the ascendant leader of the Pillar Warriors. She started with a simple life, and wanted nothing more than she already had. Her life changed when her village was burned by the Children of the Eternals. She was left bleeding under a dark sky. Matrias was part of a response team. She found Etearia, barely hanging on to life, and gave only a touch of her power. This alone pushed Etaria to ascendence. She was trained in her new power, and the way of the sword. Eventually she became a templar of the second pillar. She devoted her military life to stopping the Children of the Eternals. The power granted by Matrias allowed her to climb the ranks, and eventually assume control of the Pillar Warriors entirely. Her leading role among the Pillar Warriors allowed her to form direct ties to Fafnia's royal family.   These ties gave her greater resources in her task of protecting Fafnia from the deadly cult, the Children of the Eternals. Along the way, she met a templar named Termar Haedros. They both led raids against the cult, and were eventually victorious in stopping the cult from taking control of Fafnia. The adventure had forged a powerful relationship between her, and Termar. They eventually married, and lived in a coastal town to the north, among the stormwatchers. They learned their way, and eventually, their family grew.    She was happy for a while, until the Brimbarian Pirate Clans attacked Fafnia's northern shores. They killed Termar, and almost killed her children. The damage was done with a Doom Steel blade, and could not be healed by magical means. She would fortify Fafnia's shores, and destroy the pirates that struck at her family. Vengeance did not cure the pain. She left the Pillar Warriors, and used her power to protect what was left of her family.   She died peacefully surrounded by loved ones.

Gender Identity

She knows the form that Deos made her in, and does not intend to change it.

Sexuality

She only ever had one love. Her husband T'kah Haedros was with her till his bitter end.

Education

She is not the smartest draconin, but she is not uneducated either. She is slightly above aveage intelligence.

Employment

She spent most of her adult life as a Pillar Warrior. She climbed the ranks, and assumed command when the royal family deemed her worthy.

Accomplishments & Achievements

She spent her time with the Pillar Warriors hunting down the children of the Eternals wherever they were hiding. She protected Fafnia well until she lost her one love. She stopped her military life on a high note, as the last thing she did was fortify Fafnia's northern shores against the Brimbarian Pirate Clans.

Failures & Embarrassments

Every time she found the cult, more Pllar Warriors died than cultists. Each time, they slipped through her fingers. She never truly stopped the Children of the Eternals

Mental Trauma

“Tilliat's fiery breath! This cult must fall. My incompetence is costing the lives of good draconin men, and women. How can I stop them? They burned my home. Each day, they burn another. This needs to end now.”

Morality & Philosophy

Though she talks of how the most important thing is to stop this cult, this is simply not true. The most important thing in her Eyes is the safety of her men, and women. She'd lay down her own life if it meant her soldier's survival. Still, there is a difference between the right thing, and stupidity. This is a war in and of itself. Soldiers die sometimes, and all you can do is minimize the casualties.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

The Children of the Eternals burned her home, now she seeks to stop them before they burn the world.

Virtues & Personality perks

She would sacrifice her life for the lives of her men. When faced with a problem, she takes it head on.

Vices & Personality flaws

Too often she lets her obsession with this cult harm those around her. When confronted on this, she dismisses the very concept.

Social

Contacts & Relations

She has access to everything the pillar warriors have to offer. Her one love, T'kah followed her into every battle. Time and again they saved each other's lives. She simply couldn't have done what she did without him.

Religious Views

She worships Deos as the creator of all. Though she pulls her power from Matrias, Matrias worships Deos and Etaria will do the same.

Yeah, I'm not that great at proportioning.
