Name: Valair Androda
Sex: Male.
Age: 26
Ethnic: British-Chinese.
Appearance: Large is probably what comes to mind first. 6’4 and solid puts Valair right in the bigger than most category. His auburn hair is best described as messy clumps, and his eyes are of a similar coloration.
Personality: Easygoing elegance. Relaxed professional. Contradictory phrases, but apt when it comes to describe Valair. His behaviors and mannerisms are quite lax for the most part, and there is also a confidence within him that allows it. Valair’s hold over his emotions and reactions are also quite impressive since he handles the unexpected and surprises remarkably. For someone who acts carefree, it seems he may actually just control himself very well.
Background/History: A first-generation Canadian, his father met Valair’s mother after moving to Canada from Britain. They were both professionals and as a result he grew up in a rather nice household. Apparently he was real easy to take care even as a toddler, or so he’s been told.
Unsurprisingly, there’s not much to talk about in regards to how Valair grew up. Maybe his household wasn’t as warm as it could have been, but then again it could have been much worse. Sure he felt a bit detached from his parents at a young age with the feeling only intensifying as he grew older, but it was better than hate or abuse that some people had to deal with. Right? It was just that the word love and gestures meant to express it such as hugs felt empty to him with his parents. Maybe leaving him alone with a caretaker for his early childhood years wasn’t the smartest thing… At least he didn’t seem to have problems with making friends or the like!
Aside from that, there’s not too much of note. He managed to get into teaching at a high school a few years before Aurora ripped him from the comfortable lifestyle.
Goal/Desires: Doesn’t feel particularly strongly about returning to his world immediately. Would like to eventually given the dangerous nature of Aurora and how dying would suck.
Powers
Soul Anchor, The Bond that Strengthens: The ability to impart a portion of his soul into another being or object and strengthen both himself and the bonded. While it seems odd that divvying his soul would result in a boon, parts are greater than their sum and what not.
The process itself is very quick and rather instinctive, guided by feeling over thought. The act of severing a bond and retrieving the portion of his soul bonded on the other hand is timely and takes considerable effort and focus for Valair.
As for the effects, it seems that characteristics are naturally amplified and improved with the addition of his soul. The bonded also gains a slight regenerative factor to restore it to optimal conditions as a container. These amplifications/improvements grow over time as the portion adjusts and acclimatizes to its new container. For Valair he gains considerable skill with equipment, or a deep bond with the creature he has chosen to bond with.
Fight or Flight, a QTE: An useful ability that speeds and boosts his perception several times over, and allows his body to react in such a manner for a brief moment. While only involuntarily activated during high stress situations, it’s still nonetheless a powerful and useful boon.
Eye of the Seeker: Allows Valair to see rough location images of someone that he knows from Earth at the cost of tiring himself out physically and mentally.
Equipment/Inventory: A rather nice outfit with jacket, boots, and all. Backpack with a bunch of things for a day of work, but most importantly packed lunch, water bottle, and some snacks. Probably has a zippo in one of his jacket pockets given how many of his acquaintances smoke.
