PERSONALITY,

Kaeden is a man of few words. He is extremely quiet, and is completely unaffected by the influences and negative emotions of others. Resilient to more positive reactions, he doesn't like anyone to see they can directly influence him. It takes a lot of time and trust for people to get any kind of strong reaction from him in turn, good or bad. And when he does, he makes sure his voice is heard for good reason. He will voice strongly and clearly what his opinion is, and follow up with action to see his will through as he sees fit.

He is harsh, but not directly to just anyone. Simply to people he disagrees with, and will shrug them off rather than physical violence. Actions speak louder than words, but he will speak to address a situation unless action is called for. Because of this, he prefers to think things through before deciding the best course for himself, and maybe even think too much or overthink a larger decision. More often than not he will be pessimistic in expressing his doubts, and be harsh in his reasoning and courses upon being decisive. But the reverse can also prove true that his harshness can be a positive trait; he will attack anyone he sees fighting his friends without reasoning or even warning. Like just about anyone else who can stand up for themselves, he will be arrogantly stubborn and defiant towards anyone showing irrational hostility that does not abide by his morals. If he is forced to go against a friend because of that and they do not want him to interfere, he will do so regardless with his belief that it is right. Even if he has doubts and regrets afterwards, and is not reproachful for self-blame afterwards. This comes from his knowledge that a solider he once admired appeared to have their life taken, and asked him to carry on their place, Kaeden already being a very prideful and arrogant man deep down. He only shows he fights with strong pride when he is pushed to his limits in combat, and will eventually meet their words with unwavering words of his own, this other side of himself contrasting with when he is out of combat and being completely quiet and modest with anything that looks to have selfless intentions.

Kaeden was once a very cheerful and even cocky country boy, but this persona was buried underneath over time by a more weathered, stoic one. Even so, a little bit of this side of him comes out every now and then as scarcely as a smile does. It often comes out in a small and short conversation of dry and sometimes sarcastic humor to friends and in quick but meaningful expressions to women that he loves, if his arrogance and aloofness has not been enough of a attraction already. He still wishes to make friends even if he pushes others away, he just simply doesn't like getting too personal about himself. If this happens he will immediately disassociate himself from them, as he is afraid of getting hurt the most more than anything. But being a strong, amusing and confident young man will not let others take the best of him.

APPEARANCE,

Kaeden is a man of moderate height for a male, taller than average but not tall enough that it's noticeable. Aquamarine blue eyes are his most notable feature, as if they have a glow of their own, and can sometimes come across as icy and cold as he himself can be. He has straw blond colored hair which spikes up and away from the top of his forehead, fanning out and around the entire short length of his full head of hair, looking quite attractive for a man in his mid-twenties. He is slim, but not unhealthily so, as he packs on quite a bit of muscle where it's needed around the arms and upper torso. His skin is rather pale despite traveling under the sun all day, but has a healthy glow to it with no distinguishing marks or features.

His traveling clothes usually consist of dark trousers and dark sleeveless shirts. In colder weather, he will have long-sleeved tops with wide sleeves. Black belts and army boots match and complete the set. He has a interest in silver pendants and accessories, most of all the symbol of a wolf carved into a pauldron or a belt buckle. Along with his sheath for his weapon, he sometimes will wear a metal pauldron a a defensive measure for his non-sword arm where necessary.

Appearence.

WEAPONS,

Legacy.

A wide, tall broadsword. Almost as wide and as tall as Kaeden himself is.

ITEMS,

He only has one item, a simple guitar that he uses to play songs from time to time, either as a hobby or for a topic of conversation. It has no special qualities.

ABILITIES,

Mystic Fervor: Whenever Kaeden recieves magic damage, his physical damage increases by a half-level. Only happens once every time he receives magic damage in one post, and the effect does not stack. Duration is one post, and the effect is negated upon use.

Blade Pride: A magical attack, Kaeden simply slashes forward and creates a horizontal shockwave of holy magic before him that deals moderate damage. If he successfully blocks damage with Magic Block, his magic damage goes up by a half-level. Does not stack. Three post cooldown.

RACIAL ABILITIES,

Magical Guardian: All magical damage the Hylian receives is lowered (decreased by a half-level), and they gain access to a Magic Block, which mimics the regular block save that it blocks magical damage instead of physical. While using Magic Block, all damage received that turn is treated as magical damage.

HISTORY,

Kaeden was born in the small town of Kakariko Village, where he was raised in a quiet peaceful lifestyle like most other kids. Unlike most other kids in the town however, he never seemed inspired to leave the town to seek his purpose in life. With only his father still alive after his mother had seperated from them, life had taken a turn for the worse. He became a busker and played the guitar on the streets, using the earnings to get by on only what they needed. But that all changed one night when the village was attacked by raiders riding into town.

He had not heard them coming one evening until it was too late, the thunderous hooves of their steeds and the glint of their blade upon him to seal his doom. All at once a armored figure cut through the barbarian that was to seize his life, using a large sword almost as large as they were. With a few deft blows, the armored figure chased off the naives and brought peace to the town. Down on the ground and suffering only from a bruise, he looked up to see his savior as they lifted off their helmet in the sunlight. Long hair glimmered in the sunlight, and a smiling feminine face greeted him.

His rescuer had been a she.

Perhaps out of embarrassment, or out of pure curiosity Kaeden took the hand offered to him and got to know the woman. He offered her what he could in gratitude for her to stay a while, and she accepted. The two became friends over time and eventually, more than friends. Suddenly, Kaeden had a purpose in life other than being a failure and a disappointment to his father. To make his new love happy, and that was all he needed to motivate him and pick him up off his feet. As a Hylian Knight, she helped get him a job as a squire tending to the knight's horses in Hyrule Town. It wasn't a glamorous job, but it put food on the table for himself and his father.

But good things never last.

He wasn't sure what it was, but for some reason or another he and his significant other stopped seeing less and less of each other. Making Kaeden worried, and trying different things to please her. But it seemed like this was the opposite of what kept their chemistry sparking, and one day she simply left him. He followed her and tried to rekindle what she had fallen for in the first place, but to no avail as they argued. She left for a dangerous mission requested of her, leaving Kaeden confused and alone.

He kept asking the other Hylian Knights if she had come back, but because he was not one of them was given little information as they turned him away. Days turned to weeks and weeks to months, until one day a Hylian Knight returned. Within his burdened grasp, was her own sword covered in her blood. Since she had no next of kin, the sword was given to Kaeden. To this day, Kaeden has decided to take up the sword in her name and fight as a warrior in her honor.

Even if she didn't love him, he owed it to her. As she had once been his weight, now his sword would be his burden, his devotion in her name.

She had saved him... after all.
