Thoughts on the Trials: He believes these trials are an important tradition, having grown up witnessing them. In a sense, they are what he has spent his life preparing for. If they continue to participate, perhaps the dragons will return, and with them, his clan could achieve their full transformation. Still, it's difficult not to stay skeptical. After all, the dragons have not been seen for centuries. Regardless, Aelion remains faithful.
Appearance:
[credit goes to kkbr0116 on FR, don't use]
Aelion cuts an imposing figure at 6'4", his presence enough to command respect and fear. His physique is that of a musclar one rather than lithe. If it came to it, he would be best suited for a warrior role rather than anything regarding speed. While he has stamina and is quick, he is not the fastest among the clan.
His dark brown hair, thick and slightly coarse, falls just at the base of his neck. The strands often hang across his face, partially obscuring his expression but doing nothing to soften the harshness of his features. His overall look is that of a clean, yet rugged one. His face is a battlefield, marked by deep scars that crisscross his skin. These scars aren’t just superficial; they are deep, jagged reminders of countless battles, carving through his cheeks. Some are old, faded to a silvery hue against his otherwise fair skin, while others are newer, still raw and slightly raised. Together, they twist his face into a permanent expression of grim determination, making him appear even more intimidating.
Aelion’s eyes are a cold, steely grey, sharp and penetrating, as if they can see through the bravado of others. The piercing gaze alone is enough to make most people hesitate before approaching him. His ears, elegantly pointed as is typical of his kind, bear their own marks of a hard life. Each ear is adorned with symmetrical piercings—a simple hoop and a stud—but his right ear is torn, the result of an injury that left it permanently damaged. The tear disrupts the otherwise flawless symmetry of his features, adding to his fearsome, battle-worn appearance.
Every aspect of Aelion’s appearance, from his imposing height to the scars and torn ear, speaks of a life lived in constant conflict. He is not a figure to be taken lightly, and his very presence is enough to instill a sense of caution in those who cross his path.

Aelion’s demeanor is further marked by his bodyguard-like aura, which conveys an unyielding dedication to protecting those he serves. His inscrutable expression and demeanor only add to his aura of mystery and depth, making it difficult for others to fully gauge his thoughts or intentions. This inscrutability enhances his effectiveness in his role, allowing him to maintain an element of strategic advantage and unpredictability.

Elariel Quercus - Parental Figure | Mentor | Uncle
Aelion always knew Elariel. After all, he was a friend to the family; he grew up seeing him around. Not to mention, he married into the family.

To earn his respect is something that Aelion always strives to accomplish.

Althaea Tinúviel Medved'ová - Parental Figure | Aunt

He trusts her with all that he has and would defend her with his life. He is very grateful to her for accepting him, it must have been a difficult change.
Esen Eradia - Friend
Esen is a good friend to Aelion. Being Sarolta's cousin, it only made sense that Aelion grew up alongside of her as well. He enjoys her company and would gladly help her in any task. Whether they do something fun, or merely sit in silence, Aelion values her company no matter what.
Syllivanna Zylqirelle - Friend
Syllivanna is a close friend to Aelion. When he needs to settle his mind or needs some quiet, he often seeks Syllivanna out. He enjoys her company, as she is a calming presence in his life.
