Careodry
Keileon
Info
Profile
It is never too late to take charge of one's own fate.
Careodry perpetually appears amused, with a wry sense of humor and approaching life with a calm and collected demeanor. While he may alter events and affect others' lives across various timelines, he struggles with the idea of his own existence being predetermined and devoid of meaning. Despite his cynicism, he actively seeks to change details within timelines to find surprise and entertain himself, all while grappling with the concept of his own mortality and the desire for his actions to have purpose.

All Voidwalkers are slim and sleek, with a semi-elastic spine that allows them to make high jumps, sprint at speeds of 200 MPH, make sharp turns at full speed, and keep their balance in nearly any environment. This makes them fairly cat-like in physique, and their dorsal sails and tail fins make them precise runners and strong swimmers.
Careodry always wears one of his Voidcores, a beautiful and flawless dipyramidal crystal that he keeps on a cord around his neck. The Voidcore allows another person to communicate with him telepathically, so he may give one away to an ally. Shattering it allows the holder to summon a one-way portal.
Like all Voidwalkers, Careodry is able to travel quickly by use of void-portals, or portals that lead through a dimension of condensed space. This dimension has a few names, such as the "void", Voidspace, or Vacuospace. Travel is easiest across short distances, or via established "void highways" created by repeated travel from one place to another. Voidcores create one-way portals along these highways when shattered.
Euthoran dragon culture is such that mages are encouraged to the point of near-requirement to find a branch of magic to hyperspecialize in, becoming nearly unparalleled in their chosen branch. Careodry's choice was the magic of illusions, of tricking the senses into percieving what isn't there, or not percieving what is. However, his usage of this magic is fairly rare, despite his skill level.
Careodry's most powerful ability is to "jump" between timelines, though he remains locked to a linear progression of the time period, as well as physical location between jumps. He also experiences a concept known as "timeline inertia", in which he will eventually need to return to his original timeline at least briefly. Careodry is aware of his selves in "adjacent" timelines, or timelines with less extreme changes from his own. Currently, the known living selves exist in Alter and Drei.
BACKSTORY
Careodry's egg was stolen by a mage approximately 1200 years pre-SCT, or Standard Canon Time. The egg was taken to a castle in central Ethana, where it hatched into a Voidwalker hatchling who was then imprisoned in a magic circle by the mage. The mage used Careodry as a Voidcore producer, as well as metaphysically tying him to a magically-animated Razortalon skeleton which guarded the castle. Through this spell, Careodry's Mana would be used to fuel the magic that allowed the skeleton- the Skull Wyrm- to fly as if it still lived.
Eventually, Careodry managed to break himself free, escaping through use of his Burst Mode and crashing out of an upper window of the castle. From here, his selves diverge across timelines.
PRIME
The Careodry in the Prime Timeline is deceased, having been killed roughly 500 years pre-SCT, before he activated his timeline powers. The Alter self mostly takes his place.
ALTER
As soon as the Alter self developed his ability to jump across timelines, he became a notable presence in both Prime and Alter. Most notable, of course, is the supporting role he takes in the Cult of Ustream canon and potentially its branch-offs. The Alter Careodry is an aloof, somewhat enigmatic character who alternates rather freely between help and hindrance, chasing an end to his existential boredom.
DREI
The self in Drei, affectionately termed out-of-character as CareoDrei, is less of a neutral force. Here he is the Familiar of Shiveztel, the Drei counterpart of Jason who also ends up being a puppet king for the Vodera. Shiveztel attracted Careodry's interest by defying the concept of having his fate laid out for him, choosing to take his story into his own claws even if it turns him into the villain.

- Careodry was the first Voidwalker ever made, and served as a standard for the species for many years.
- Careodry is also my tulpa, and he has helped me through very difficult times simply by keeping me calm. He's much of the reason I have an "everything will work out" attitude thse days.
- He was my primary mascot for a very long time. He still is a mascot, but shares the spotlight with his daughter, Khaseri.
- Every part of Careodry's design is tailored to my drawing style and design sensibilities, and this is why Voidwalkers follow suit.
- Songs I associate with Careodry include Tiptoe (Imagine Dragons), Unite (Realta Nua medley), and Legends of the Frost (Miracle of Sound).
- His OoC nicknames include "Local Fish" and "CareoDerp".

Not quite estranged, but they frequently go long stretches without seeing each other.
An ally, but one who is likely to intervene when Careodry becomes active.
Careodry took brief interest in Jason before deciding Shadow was more worth his time.
The safest place for Careodry is at Shiveztel's side as his Familiar. Primarily business relationship, but there is affection there.
No emnity, but a healthy dose of caution for one who frequently intersects with large-scale events.
