Meet Killian

Seeker of the Sun ☀️

Killian's got a similar background to Killick, but less of the seas and more the grit of the streets. He exudes confidence, but struggles with the adoring attention he receives sometimes as the WOL. He's a soldier, a fighter, and what he knows is how to survive - to keep moving lest he break. If the world benefits.... well, someone's gotta do it.

He's got a scar on his left cheek in the shape of an x from before his adventuring days. It's a memory of the reason he strives to be strong. He's always wanted to be strong. First for himself, then for his found family. He keeps his red hair pulled back out of his face. His eyes are different colors, his right silver with the light of the Blessing, and his left emerald green. 💚

After the events of Shadowbringers and Endwalker, he's finally learning how to be himself and how to let himself grieve. And love. He's a little bit of a leather jacket tough boy, but also is a bit of a greaser. He'd dance to express himself but will also absolutely knock your ass out if he has to.

Main jobs: Samurai, Bard, Dancer, Ninja

Just your average, gritty cat boy chilling among the (book) stacks.

The sun teases at the strands of grey in the Shetona's dark hair, glimmering silver in the morning light at the fringes and the tips of his ears. He kneels in front of the the sickly reeds. Though his boots and gleaner trousers grow dark as they soak in the water of the wetlands, Erenville leans forward to examine the murky shallows closer, and lifts a hand to gently touch the delicate gold.

Even though he knows the reed fields are far from healthy, Killian still finds the sight beautiful - shoots of sunlight among a lush rainbow of foliage and waterfalls cascading from the sky's circlet of stone crags into rushing rivers. He can tell how the land provides, and has no wonder as to why the Hanuhanu revere it so.

Smiling, Killian steps lightly towards his adventuring companion; if he were going for stealth, he could approach so quietly that not even his friend's tall ears would perceive him.

“Erenville?” Killian kneels beside him. “See anything?”

He shakes his head. “I'm not much of a botanist.”

“In truth, I'm not either.” He reaches towards the same reed, dry and delicate. But the top snaps off in his fingertips, which he drops into the water below with a sigh. “I know what I'm here for.”

When Killian looks up, Erenville's looking at him strangely.

“Wait. What do you think you're here for?”

Killian’s ears flatten, and he raises an eyebrow as if to ask, do you really need me to dignity that with an answer?

Primals, armies, Ascians, blasphemies, even deities; what stories haven't been told of his battles? What of his power hasn't been glorified?

“It was I who wrote to Wuk Lamat of you. When I did, I wrote of a champion of peace, a man of conviction. I shared of a soldier that would take his own time to learn about others - whether it was embracing cultures unlike his own or assisting a gleaner in need just for the sake of helping. That value in all peoples? That's a strength of its own, no? You are more than your power, my friend.”

Killian tries not to reel back, and a frog skitters slowly past, tossing water drops into tiny ripples. Erenville's attention immediately lands on its strange movement. But despite what's been learned, Erenville beams and silver strands dance in the light.

“Sometimes you are even a frog.”

“Eren-!” Killian can't even finish the name in his gasp. “You didn't! Don't tell me you shared that.”

“A terrible, terrible frog.”
