Appearance[]
Despite humble roots, Rahan holds himself with a fierce pride and awesome intensity that stems from his personal convictions. Standing a good hands length over the common man only adds to his presence. Rahan sports an athletic build forged from long days of hard work, barely a scrap of fat on his toned frame. Long, powerful limbs clad often in leather or heavy armor seem more than capable of hefting the massive weapons he wields in combat.
Personality[]
Background[]
Born a simple farmers son, Rahan grew up living the laborers life, but it was his father's life, not his own. The young Rahan dreamed of adventure and of life beyond the cobble walls of his father's farm.
His father died from illness when Rahan was nineteen, and with his passing, Rahan felt no lingering ties to the farmstead only the hole his heart left from the death of his only family. He gathered his belongings and the last of his kinah and in the night he set blaze to his home, unfettering himself from the past and leaving his future wide open.
Rahan made his way through the wilderness and eventually picked up a sword and signed up with a mercenary unit called the Gryphon's Talons. It was headed by an impressive warrior named Artain, and the old warrior saw great potential in the young would-be mercenary.
Over the next few years Artain taught Rahan all he could of swordplay and leadership, the pair taking on several paid campaigns, and more than a few charity fights over the time. Artain treated the young man like the family he never had.
After a particularly vicious battle against a pair of Asmodeain Daeva's the true nature of Artain came to light, he was the Daeva of Independence. Sadly the revelation was marred by his passing as the battle took a toll on his immortal form, to say nothing of the Asmodian toxins that boiled in his veins.
Rahan was once again without a father figure, but the mercenary company now looked to him for leadership. And lead he would.
Time and time again Rahan led soldiers against impossible odds, and eventually his inspiration abilities reached Sanctum. The Lords of Sanctum in agreement the young Mercenary Captain was chosen to ascend.
Now Rahan has inherited an empty legion hall once belonging to Artain, and a Sword Sworn promise to the Lady of Light, and where once the young farmer was skeptical of faith he has been reborn a believer that could rival many priests in the power of his faith.
He understands what he must do; now he only hopes he can find the other souls needed to accomplish it.
Abilities[]
Swordsmanship: Rahan may not have had centuries of blade experience, and his formal training was mostly in the field of battle, but he is considered to have a natural skill with the blade. Many could consider it an art form taking blade play to the form of a dance, but for Rahan it is a matrial art designed to be used in mortal combat. He is skilled, unpredictable, irreverent, and unyielding. These traits make them one of the respected neonates of the Daevas of Elysea.
Inspiration: In only five short years of mercenary service, Rahan learned he had a natural flair for inspiring his comrades in battle, even when faced with over whelming odds and shattered morale. With a few well placed words of conviction, he could rally the most beleaguered of warriors to a victory. With his ascension to the status of Daeva his natural leadership has grown to supernatural inspiration. With but a word he can bring the most common of man to the most uncommon of valor. It is rumored that his destiny is to raise up the mortal heroes of Elysea.
Equipment[]
Armor[]
Weapon[]
Xhisaniel 'The Shifting Light' Rahan carries a simple blade that was, according to rumor, gifted to him by Ariel. Despite the blades rumored origins its innate power has no question. The blade known as Xhisaniel exists in whatever form its wielder choses, the blade shimmering like a ribbon of radiant light to reform into the desired nature. The wounds the blade leaves are burned with trails of aether and ache painfully in the souls of the unrighteous and wicked. Rahan also claims the the blade itself has a rather righteous attitude, but the pair manage to get along without killing one another(a task Rahan feels the sword would most likely win.).
Connections[]
- Ariel - The Lady of Light: The Radiant Lady of the Seraphim Lords is rumored to have been instrumental in the ascension of Rahan as well as gifted him with his blessed sword. It is unclear whether or not there is merit to this rumor, but his shifting sword and lofty mission certainly seems to fit the Lady's methods.
- Usthiel - The Lady of Life: Where Ariel has chosen Rahan to Champion her righteous war against the Shedim, it is the Lady of Life that has counselled him in the methods of unification. She has invested him with the desire to see the peoples, Atreia, and the Tower of Eternity reforged one day.
- Artain: The Daeva of Independence was fiercely seperated from his daeva kinsmen and prefered the company of the humans he mustered under him. Despite this divide, Artain once maintained Solace Eterna, the 9th Legion of Sanctum. Artain took on Rahan as an apprentice that developed into a strong bond of family. His passing at the hands of the Asmodians was a like a knife in Rahan's soul. It is a wrong that he is slowly learning to forgive.
- Zaidin: Known to Rahan as Shepard, this daeva is caught between neonate and ancillary member of the ascended. His youthful features but elder attitude is a source of endless amusement to Rahan, but the pair see to have strong bonds. Zaidin and Rahan share a common spark of inspiration, but the source is different. Where Rahan channels the power of conviction, Zaidin uses faith. Zaiden is also an accomplished airship pilot and uses his ships to shepard pilgrims to holy sites around Elysea.
