Burn them on the Ashes of the Dreams they Destroyed

Eidolon is currently located in --- working as ---.

Personality

Cold | detached | lost.

 Eidolon is not a warm character. So many years of miserable experiences and disappointments have left her feeling uncaring and detached. Her only driving force is her urge to be noticed by the wrong sort of people. There is no hesitation to fight, choosing teeth over sword. Is she a feral creature, however? No.

     Oftentimes she may be seen traveling with companions, one of her golden rules- never travel far alone. Despite the company she never seems to say much. Honestly her company doesn’t mind. Perhaps they find her protection better than conversation. Passerby’s will be given a glance of irritation or disgust. Sure she knows she is no better than anyone else, but deep down she truly wishes she was. To be known, whether for good or evil. Just like the monsters she embraced in the dreams she once walked in.

  Hardly anything frightens her anymore and her interest in monsters is becoming a tad alarming. Her own nightmares she embraces. The swarming beasts that swam through dreams she called kin, she called hers. Now with the rise of enormous havoc-causing monsters, a tinge of fear is beginning to build. Would she be turning into one of them before she could complete her journey?

History

        WC: 605

                   A blurry past leaves out much of Eidolon’s childhood. All she remembers from it is coming from the countryside with a family that made a living off of farming the land and beekeeping. She had a handful of siblings and they never once went without a meal. Nothing quite traumatic happened then. She rescued her brother from the river and they both nearly drowned but other than that her childhood was like any other.

        As Eidolon grew into a fine young adult she began to endure a series of disappointments. Repeatedly abandoned by the ones she trusted the most, isolated from family and friends, and finally failed relationships.Everyone has their snapping point, Eidolon’s was stretched thin. Finally her family decided it would be best for her to make it on her own instead of moping about the farmstead in front of the smiling tourists, so she was forced to travel abroad. It didn’t take long for her to find the wrong crowd, and they took her somewhere dark. After breaking away and fleeing far, Eidolon was attacked numerous times and ran in fear at the faintest hint of someone walking down a path. The wilderness was just as harsh. She was never raised to fight… it was something she had to teach herself. In the past as a child she would use her magic to turn into cute animals her siblings had dreamt about- but then when the opportunity came, Eidolon would sneak into a camp and feed off the dreams of travelers. When they woke, they were startled by a monster or beast of their own imagination. Stealing was how she lived. 

 After being caught twice, a bitterness swept into her heart. No one helped her. The authorities chased her off when they caught her begging for meals or goods and when she went to them for help, they jailed her again. Eidolon wrote a letter to her family asking to return, but she burned it before it was sent. Her pride stopped her from turning over a new leaf. 

      When released, any guard or officer would keep an eye on the mischief that Eidolon caused by running to the sounds of screaming in the morning. She had learned to sneak away, and became better in her trade. 

        As the years went on, the appeal of stealing was beginning to lose it’s appeal. Running from the law was exhausting, she wanted to make a living, and what better to do that than with what she knew best… growing plants. After she stole a few, Eidolon made a greenhouse in the back of a cart and traveled from town to town selling her rare and exotic plants. As she did this, she found like-minded individuals that traveled with her. She did her best to socialize with them, they were beneficial to her as they all slept in a camp together or lodged in the same buildings. It was the easiest access to dreams she could find.

And then she was hit by the authorities again… this time the law stripped her of all her business and finances because she never acquired a seller’s license, which of course with her criminal record she could never receive. Eidolon’s own dreams and momentary peace- crushed. Right at the time that the cities cried out from chaos…. A monster tore through the streets. 

SInce then, she has turned her attention to understanding the process of corruption and what triggered the attacks. Could she possibly gain such a power that no one would try to stop her from doing as she pleased? Plants aside, it was time for answers.
