Eden Myrr

Eden was born in a bygone age and a bygone kingdom, one of five children borne to the Solar Angel Arris and her Sun Elf husband, Edgar, though shortly after Eden was born Edgar was imprisoned, leading to Arris raising her children alone, though Eden lacked very little even even with the absence of her father. Her homeland was a brilliant paradise, like the kind only spoken of in myths and legends, a holy kingdom of Elves, Aasimar, and Angels with close ties to the gods of good and light, and in turn her childhood was nothing short of pleasant. Raised by her loving, though somewhat distant mother, and always accompanied by her siblings she grew up in a reasonably good environment. Ever the charismatic girl, she got along quite well with her peers, eventually even enrolling in the famed Order of the Sun, the glorious knightage that reported directly to the holy king of their land, the Empyrean Alcaire, but eventually something began to change. The shadows of the kingdom, which were once so elusive and sparse, began to bear their ugly heads, spreading like an unyielding plague. Their holy king, once a great ruler, fell into gleeful, blasphemous corruption, and like mold that corruption spread. The lavish lifestyles of the citizens began eating away at the foundations of the kingdom, and the nobles, once embodiments of noblesse oblige who worked under strict standards of good, began to delve into territories and activities once unthought of. The kingdom, while still gilded and grand, became a haven for those rotting within. It was an unprecedented disaster for which the cause or events that brought it about were completely unknown, and as angels fell and madness rained down things began collapsing until one symbol of the kingdom remained, The Order of the Sun, but not even they would not remain untainted, their unending loyalty to their king leading them down the same path as he, at least up until they agreed to take upon themselves a holy curse so they could serve him for all of eternity. One by one the knights tore their hearts out, giving up each of their lives to the relic that would grant them immortality, but immortality would not come without its drawbacks. Undeath changed the fundamental aspects of the once glorious order, bringing about an insatiable bloodthirst within the knights and corroding their alignments and beliefs to match their new beastiality, but strangely enough, it was that very undeath that would also allow them to realize their lapse in judgment, although through a very unorthodox path. The Order of the Sun became the Order of the Night Sun, and it was under that new title that they continued to serve their holy king, but within the order unrest began to stir. As their king became more corrupt, more consumed by decadence and debauchery, and more arrogant, the order became increasingly displeased with their leader until they eventually came to the conclusion that he was unworthy of his position as leader. Angered by his actions their blades turned upon the man they were once so loyal to, and it was that day that they dyed the throne red, subsequently fleeing the kingdom and their homeland after his death was insured. Finally free from his leadership the order fled across the planes, eventually reestablishing themselves once more in various halls and fortresses across the various planes they’d fled to. Free to do as they wished and without a leader the order began to adjust, becoming more akin to a mercenary troop as they began selling their blades and services as gate wardens and knights to various higher powers and rulers, though they still maintained their albeit tainted status as an order of knights. As many things do and with time on their side it only took a couple thousand years before their origins were all but forgotten. As they left their original purpose in the past it was not long until their reputation as an order itself changed, their origins all but lost to outsiders as they became known only as an intimidating order of nocturnal knights who wander the planes and guard the many mysterious locations and portals that connected the worlds together, and Eden was no exception. In life Eden was a picturesque and charismatic person with great loyalty to her king and her duties as a knight. While not entirely dedicated to doing good she was still a respectable, responsible, and overall confident person who did many deeds for the greater good of her family, friends, and homeland even during her time as a squire, and such characteristics, for the most part, carried over into her undeath. Just like in life, her loyalty and dedication to her order never changed even thousands of years after they gained independence. Even though it had only been a couple years since she’d become a fully fledged knight and paladin she held no hesitation in sacrificing her life for immortality and never strayed from the order as they fled their homeland, remaining still as they re-established themselves as a free order. Eden never considered leaving the group even as thousands of years went by, much like the vast majority of the other knights. While not nearly the strongest knight, she enjoyed a good challenge, often working on difficult tasks and taking on jobs in more dangerous locations, but was particularly fond of working as a gate warden. At first after the order fled Eden was lost at what to do, wandering around the planes without an exact idea of what types of work she’d like to or where she’d like to be stationed, doing some work here and there as a sellsword and warden for countless years of her immortal lifetime. In her free time, mainly during her given periods of rest and the occasional vacation, Eden would usually take to other places. On most days she would take to the nearby demon city of Vesshelm to rest, receiving free board and food in an inn called the “Shadow’s Watch” as payment for a debt the owner incurred from her. On longer periods of free time Eden would wander, usually adventuring in the Elemental Chaos outside of the Abyss, but also traveling out to the other planes, in particular, the Outlands, though seeing her visit other planes where the undead were not as welcome was a rare sight. Occasionally she would also return to the headquarters of the order, mainly to pick up short quests for some extra coin but also to visit her mentor and fellow knights. In addition to her travels during her free time, Eden also enjoys taking time to hunt with Morne, her Blood Hawk, and practice other hobbies of varying value such as learning other languages, studying Runes, cartography, jousting, and reading up on various topics that catch her interest. A knight to her very core, it is rare to see her not accompanied by her horse during her travels, though the horse or mount which accompanies her has varied over the years both due to the dangers of her journeys and her extremely long lifespan when compared to that of most creatures she rides. Despite her generally cold, distant, and off-putting demeanor, Eden is actually one of the friendliest knights in her order, with much of her disinterest in socialization and merrymaking being a well maintained shield meant to protect the secrets of the order and to ensure a “proper work environment” amongst those she may work with during her adventures and excursions. A simple veil created by the code of order and conduct that she and the rest of the Order of the Night Sun created in order to never stray from their beliefs and goals, one meant to protect their glory and reputation as knights as well as to shield their secrets from those they consider unworthy. A code that Eden has very strictly followed since it was created. When off duty or with people she knows well enough or respects, said veil falls away to reveal her true nature and personality, one of strength, dedication, and resolve. Eden has never exactly been the most friendly person. While not exactly introverted, it is true she generally prefers to keep to herself. Having lived for so long and experienced so much there is little that can faze her, from brutal massacres to incomprehensible monsters, little can truly effect her morale, as is reflected by her near unchanging expression, her lips near constant pursed in a neutral look of disinterest, her red eyes as piercing as her resolve to move forward, though her unchanging expression does not mean she is unthinking, as her mind is always whirring away at one topic or another. Highly calculative and methodical by nature, there are few scenarios that she doesn't think over heavily and plan for even if they are sudden and mundane. Not liking to rely on chance, Eden much prefers to be well prepared for anything and anyone that comes her way, and once she is set on a plan, she usually follows it through to the end. Eden herself has a rather brutal, militaristic personality, one which reflects the history and nature of her order quite frequently. While some may find such aspects of her harsh and unpleasant, such aspects are also what has kept her respectable over the years, her mind constantly ready for dismal and dangerous situations that may arise during her travels. While working she usually uses this mindset of hers to her advantage, ensuring she finishes what she's agreed to and completing her contracts and goals with precision in addition to getting paid what she is worth and gets treated fairly for her actions. Outside of her work and duties is a different story however, as it is those times when she can let go of her steely demeanor and lay back, unbothered by the many rules of contact laid out in her code. Such freedom, especially when around others who know of her true nature and the life she's led, reveal the depths of her personality usually unseen during the time that she is on duty. Beneath all those layers of ice, Eden is a surprisingly laid back person. While evil by nature, Eden has never exactly been one for schemes and greater machinations, preferring to live a life of exploration, glory, and adventure than one of complicated politics and plots. Rather than gaining power as a tyrant or massacring her enemies on the battlefield, she much prefers a life of wandering the planes and experiencing the grandiose scenery and history of the world as she collects treasures and knowledge. A fan of fairy tales and myths ever since she was little, she has a love for seeing magical events that affect the course of history and experiencing a variety of lands different than what she knows, though by now there is little that still remains mystical in her eyes. Eden herself is a rather strong willed, confident, and wizened knight. While arrogant, she knows of her weaknesses and plans around them as such. She, unlike many of the order, actually enjoys the friendly company of others not from their group, though her preferences are still limited to those she feels she can truly let loose around such as her pets and others who know of her true nature. Perhaps due to her natural charisma and innate nature, Eden is generally the type to assume leadership where she sees fit when she is with others, even if she does try and keep things orderly at first. From being the first one to state her thoughts, to interacting with others and making decisions, she often makes her way to the front even if there is some disagreement on who should lead and whether or not the others she is working with like it, though she often backs down when she sees it unnecessary to take the mantle or prefers to not spark a conflict, especially one that would force her to break her code. Much like the rest of her order, Eden still grasps at the past, continuing to see and refer to herself as a knight despite knowing full well that she and her order broke their true oaths long ago, losing their titles as knights in the process. Such glaring desperation to hold onto the glory of the past is seemingly amplified by the fact that their fall happened not too many years after she earned that title, but this side of her rarely shows its face, the twisted glory of hers forever obscured by her composed personality. In addition, while her usual garb and lifestyle don't show it, Eden enjoys living a rather extravagant private life, a detail seen in things such as her always fine casual clothes and the occasional parties she holds with other members of her order. She also has a taste for good food and alcohol, despite her long since lost need for food or drink, though she does rarely indulge. She often views such fineries as unnecessary unless she is taking some significant downtime from her work and travels, and rarely indulges in such things anywhere that isn't secure and private. As someone highly loyal to her order and beliefs, Eden often seems to embody the definition of a knight, even though she has long since lost that title. While her nature was corrupted in undeath, very little truly changed regarding her beliefs and the ways she acts. Just as in life, her resolve and dedication remain fierce and unbending. While incredibly hard to earn and even harder to keep, her respect and care for those close to her is valuable and truthful. To her and those close to her she is an ever glorious knight, even in undeath and disgrace. To maintain her honor Eden will do many things, but she has no qualms with lying, killing, and manipulating to get what she wants in the end as long as she has reason enough to do so.
