Caeden Everric

"And the Dawn welcomes the Rising Sun?"

- Caeden

Caeden Merrick Everric-Blackthorn (Caeh-dehnn Mehh-Rehk Eh-Vehrr-Rick Blak-Thōrn) is an aspiring young Warlock and Seer. He is a member of the House of Everric and as such is a direct descendant of Ariston Everric and his wife Flavia. He was born the son of Jacob Everric and Serena Blackthorn, the twin brother of Caviness and as such is the cousin of Cersei, William and Rebeckah Blackthorn, as well as being the very distant cousin of Gabriel Everric and many, many others. Caeden is very concerned about his health and his appearance, alongside this he is the grandson of Revan Everric and Elana Cross, effectively making him one of the few people who have the descent of the Everric, Blackthorn and Druids of Cross all in one bloodline. Caeden is a headstrong, confident young mage and is willing to take on whoever he's asked, while also being staunchly loyal to his family.

Caeden currently travels the world along with his main romance, Elizabeth Constable and friends: Veylianne Ithell, Elijah Rovin and Lilian Iorwerth on Eli's ship. Caeden also spends a bit of time with another romantic interest, Anya Korsokov and friend, Evelyn Renderra. Most days, Caeden will be found wandering not far from a city alone, or frequenting bars but only ordering either the hardest of liquor or the most expensive of tea; anything else, you likely won't find him drinking it. Aside from that, he and Elizabeth have been established as travelling partners and they're developing a relationship whilst Caeden truly figures out what he wants as he continues to explore all the places he hasn't been quite yet.

Growing up, Caeden was taken to all of the accessible-to-human places that his young mind thought possible, whether it be safe cavern, small town or large city, Caeden spent many of his years training in the skill or school that would be the most appropriate. He was trained by not only his grandfather, but his great-grandfather in different things, the majority being the pagan worship of Nature Spirits (akin to Modern Wicca) in a form of Witchcraft that is very powerful, but doesn't allow the user to ever use it against another human being to cause harm, or help for that matter. There is no black or white to the witchcraft, only a strange form of true neutrality.

Caeden was created and role-played by Matt.

Biography
Caeden Everric was born to the late Jacob Everric, a quarter-elven warlock and member of the Moon Clan, and Serena Blackthorn, a Seer and a Witch as well as being a half-Kharidian; he is also the older twin brother of Caviness Everric. Caeden was always a happy child, very confident and somewhat narcissistic. He had always shown promise with magic even as a child.

Unlike most others in his family, he had a large bit of involvement with the Blackthorns as a child, being trained somewhat to control his abilities. This ended when his mother, Serena, was slain by Taerwin Blackthorn, her brother, while attempting to save the lives of Thomas and Emily Blackthorn.

Instead of this, both Jacob, Serena and Jacob's mother, Sophia, were murdered and Taerwin took in the young orphaned boy, but, soon enough sent him off to be trained again. This time, he was raised by his unfeeling grandfather, Revan, who had ripped his heart out after the death of his wife, making Revan more of a father to Caeden than anything and Revan did what he could, beginning to teach Caeden in the arts of Witchcraft and Magic in its fullest.

Revan's Teachings
Revan, a man who had lost his wife and son, Sophia Everric, a woman hailing from a common family and their son Jacob during the Blackthorn's interfamily feud at the hands of Taerrin Blackthorn. Though, it was all described to be an accident, Revan could never patch things with Taerrin.

In his grief, to avoid feeling emotions and the pain of his wife and son being killed, along with the remorse he felt for all of the lives he had taken in previous years, he tore out his own heart. After this he placed it into a wooden chest and buried it with Sophia and Jacob. This is a form of necromancy that few and far between are able to use, and, he had only used it so that he could live on without grief

Aside from this, Revan had been introduced to the four year old Caeden by Taerrin, who had brought him to Revan's residence in Yanille. Revan was actually elated to see the young child, the spitting image of himself and his son Jacob, his beautiful grandson. It wasn't long after that Caeden turned five, the boy already knew how to read and recite his alphabet. It was then that Revan began to teach him magic, runeless manifestations of the schools of Pyromancy and Aquamancy and some of those smaller things at first.

Caeden's favorite was teleporting, and as a young boy he could teleport short distances, becoming somewhat of a menace wherever he went. Aside from this, he was taught some basics from the Lunar Magics, which expanded more on telepathy, which he is still steadily learning, getting closer and closer. He had also been taught some basic Law and Astral Magic, one encompasses bending the laws of physics and Astral Magic is the subject of curses, a basis in Witchcraft.

Perhaps this was a result of being raised by the emotionless and unfeeling Revan. However, Caeden was raised without the good moral compass, and he quickly and easily could be pinned as a chaotic alignment, though, a thrill-seeker and a pleasure seeker. He does things that suit him better, but, he's capable of forming friendships, just in a different way than other humans do, truly. Caeden continued to be the personal student of Revan, the only student Revan had ever truly taken in, aside from Sophia. Along with this, the two travelled the world together learning several different things.

Revan took him out and taught him how to be friendly and be personable with people in different places, along with this random obscure locations to learn magic for a month at a time.

Revan continued to teach him, over and and on and on, learning more and more of things like low levels of the Ancient Magicks. Aside from this, Revan always saw that Caeden spaced out all the time as a child and realized that this was a result of his Seers blood, being a Blackthorn as well as an Everric, seeming to give him a bit of extra potential. He continued this training until eighteen and he finally began to do some travelling.

Weddings and Parties!
Caeden had many different issues throughout his young life, partially due to him having some of that humanity aspect taken away from him due to his emotionless and somewhat inhumane grandfather raising him, however, this had not stopped him from having fun. In fact, Caeden seems to have fun in all things that he does. Along with that Caeden, as a pleasure seeker, also has found himself to be somewhat of a womanizer, and, though Revan kept him out of most trouble, women were not included in the "staying out of trouble mixture."

Caeden's first major appearance was at the wedding of his cousin Gabriel Everric and Paula Rovin, where he, Revan and other Elders in the family stood in the back, keeping an eye on everything to make sure that nothing had gone wrong, though, they did not do anything major except for watch as Ravalan and Griffen Everric were causing some problems, namely, spraying Gabriel in the back with water and trying to pull his pants down. Caeden, like the rest of his family, had dipped out of the wedding right after the main ceremony, though, he was able to watch Gabriel and Paula exchange their vows.

Aside from this, Caeden then left for Yanille to try to find Gabriel, to see if he had been there. After finding his dorm empty at the Aren Arcane Institute, Caeden went to Mercutio Delimino and Samantha Everric, and seemed to have not found them. Mercutio's attitude and Caeden's own attitude clashed a bit when Caeden said cute feet; Mercutio didn't know of Caeden's abilities and found himself slightly intimidated by his looks. So, instead of confronting him, Mercutio slammed the door on his face. Caeden, a man of his morality did what he thought would be the funniest, and placed a small sigil onto the door.

After he had walked away from the door, the sigil broke and left a small hole in the door, and the door began burning like incense. Caeden left for home once more and he was then contacted by his little cousin, Daenerys Blackthorn, who had told him about an Everric Adoptee, Wade Pierce, striking a child, Anthony Olivriar. Caeden had been raised by his grandfather, Revan, a man of true and utter tradition; none could compare to his upbringing on family tradition, and he left immediately for Varrock to find Anthony's father, Arthfael. The two talked and came to an agreement that they would go to the Sanctum of Heroes together to find Wade.

During this journey, he met a nice girl named Amaryllis, a redhead. He immediately took a liking to her, and she was the first person who greeted him at the gate of the Sanctum, she was leaning there. She took him firstly to Wade, where, Caeden activated a special speech spell, reversing it from the traditional, and made it so Wade's words were only audible to Caeden and Arthfael. With this, Arthfael told Wade never to hit his son again, and brought Wade to him, punching the wounded man down. After explaining to a few members of the Sanctum about what had just happened, the two departed, Caeden told Amaryllis that he'd be back.

Not long after, he did return, and he approached her immediately, walking up to her and then almost immediately proposing that she show him around the Sanctum, though, Caeden did most of the talking. He brought her through the area, and finally to the bell tower, where they talked a bit more. He made her completely nervous and finally he kissed her, finding that he liked her. She had told him of a few things, including her rapes. Caeden was surprised that she was so open, though, she invited him to a ship before they got any more cozy.

Amaryllis brought him to the ship, and after he had finished sleeping or whatever, he awoke on a man named Abraham's ship. After a "warm greeting" from Abraham, Caeden still remained cocky, and Abraham took him up to the deck where Amaryllis taught Caeden how to catch sharks, instead, Caeden did it with magic. Caeden held Amaryllis for a little bit, and they spoke, before, Amaryllis told him that if he wanted to have sex, he just needed to ask.

Caeden instead insisted that this was no fun, and he pulled her up to him, her clothes soaking his, and Caeden pretended it was an accident. She shook her head and smiled, knowing it wasn't an accident, but, she went with it. Caeden then nudged her head up and kissed her, leaving her to be heavily surprised. Caeden pulled back a little after he moved his hand under her shirt. Caeden suggested they  climb up to the Crow's Nest so they had some privacy, and so they did.

Shenanigans
Caeden continued to stay on Abraham's ship, oh, gaining the trust of the the man by proving his courage, resolve and skill, as well as demonstrating his ability to speak Kharidian. Along with this, he and Amaryllis continued their rather casual relationship, while still acting as a sort of couple.

After they had docked, Caeden travelled to Yanille once more to take a drink in the bar, only to find Renderra's there, Evelyn, Driez and Anya Korsokov, the latter of which he took a liking to. Talking more on the subject, he figured out that Anya was a mage, and that her seeming rejection of him was something that was a bit alluring to him. He didn't know what it was, but, they continued to talk until finally he was fed up with Evelyn's complaining and he departed.

Caeden, after travelling to the bar in Falador, teleported not too far outside of Yanille and then went for a stroll. Upon his return, he passed by a certain tree. This tree happened to have Samantha Everric sitting beside it, an adoptee of the old family. She seemed baffled to see someone who looked just like her ex-lover, who happened to be Caeden's grandfather, Revan. Caeden didn't quite notice her until a few moments after stepping past her, and he wheeled around.

The two talked for a little bit, and he was a bit more forward than he usually was, as he found her rather attractive, and by her body language: he figured she thought the same. Caeden helped Sam solver her "relationship problems" by telling her not to fret and to just break up with her boyfriend,  Mercutio. Caeden and Mercutio had gotten in an argument not so long ago, but, it wasn't out of spite, more out of Caeden's idea of being a free spirit. Not long after, Caeden expressed his attraction for her and Sam almost tackled him before Caeden pinned her to a tree and they teleported off to do private things.

Caeden once again travelled to Yanille and talked with Wade, seeing Eve and Anya again. Caeden knew he wanted to talk to Anya again, despite generally being in a relationship as well as having a new "plaything" in store. He watched as she departed and then sat at the bar to talk to Wade, reading his book as well. Wade tried reading a letter and Caeden translated it to him. He felt a bit bad, but, then Veylianne Ithell arrived and they struck up conversation and they talked for a long time over a few drinks on a few different subjects, most of it was harmless flirting.

Eventually Veylianne was rendered heavily intoxicated and Caeden offered her to sleep in the room he was renting. He put her to bed and told her if she needed anything to yell for him, and downstairs again, he met a former Ironguard, Elizabeth Constable. Caeden talked to her for a little bit and then offered her a place to stay and his cloak, and after a bit with Vey, the two were off to bed after Elizabeth had asked him to stay and cuddle with her. He rubbed her back until he thought she fell asleep and he fell asleep as well.

In the morning, Caeden awoke to Elizabeth still in his arms, having nervous sweats. She apologized to him for waking him up, but, he only smiled and said it was okay. He then asked about what made her so nervous and all of these things while continuing to caress her arms, back and legs. As they spoke, she apologized again, saying that she didn't really have any place to go, to which Caeden replied by saying she now had him. She smiled at that, saying she liked that idea a lot, whilst Caeden said he liked it too and the two shared a kiss. Though, he had been taken by surprise when she pressed up against him, but, he didn't resist and she had told him to be gentle.

Caeden obliged and the two shared some intimate time together. After some recovery, the two found the entire bed was drenched in sweat, but they didn't care. They only got dressed and Caeden grabbed Elizabeth and kissed her hair before they left to find Veylianne and soon enough they were off to the ship in Oo'glog they were told about, just Caeden and Elizabeth.

They reached the ship, only to find that Eli and Vey were in a spar and Elizabeth sat on the railing while Caeden stood at the edge of the gangplank and folded his arms as they watched. The two exchanged some conversation and he finally scooted next to her, where she scooted over as well. The two continued to watch until Eli threw Vey overboard and Caeden moved to help her up after introducing Elizabeth and Elijah. So Caeden and Vey talked a bit after he helped her out and Vey left to sleep.

Caeden went back to talk to Eli and Elizabeth for a bit while Caeden went off and climbed a few ladders just for fun and then back down. After the arrival of Dylan Rovin and Elizabeth asking for a private room with Caeden on the ship, Eli asked her to climb the center mast, which she did. In her armour, and Caeden was rather impressed, after a while he followed her up there and while they were squabbling, the two flirted back and forth and she told him some things that blew up his ego a bit. Either way, he proposed an idea to her and took off her cloak, he took off his shirt and belt and then helped Elizabeth take off her armor.

He grabbed her chin and complimented her on her pretty face. This spurred her to push him onto his back and lay atop him, to which he grinned and told her it was time for her to show him the ropes, to which she told him that he should show her the ropes, and they flipped over to where she was on her back and they did just that while Elijah and Dylan squabbled below.

It's All Adventure
A bit later on, Caeden finally returned to Varrock to babysit Anthony Olivriar, as he was asked to do by his friend Arthfael. Along with this, Evelyn Renderra seemed to have come for a visit as well, and Caeden, as always treated Anthony as a little brother. So, after short conversation, Caeden brought Anthony to the Archery Shop after a race and bought him a quiver.

Caeden returned to Yanille where he usually rented a room, in the middle of the night where he was met by Anya Korsokov, someone that he held a high interest in. He wasn't sure what it was exactly, whether it be her exotic accent or her nice looks, but, he was intrigued, hooked even. Caeden struck up conversation with her as he saw her smoking out in the late night, and they were met by a strange babbling woman who held their conversation together, despite Anya's irritation.

While this woman spoke of the God Wars Dungeon, Funny Pets, Azzanadra and Virtus Mages, Caeden could only think she was some kind of crazy. Though, despite all this he and Anya both kept their cool and listened for a little more discussion on religion and other things before he and Anya both went to sleep in the room at Yanille Bar.

Caeden returned to Abraham's ship to see Amaryllis, and when he returned, he found that Abraham went off drunkenly to join some army. He found her sunbathing and he immediately bent down and kissed her, making her jump before she grabbed him and continued to kiss him and the two talked for some small bit before Caeden eventually took her and then had dinner. Afterwards the two headed down to the lower decks of the ship, he had worn her out quite a bit and Caeden once again departed the ship to return to Eli's.

Caeden travelled to Ashdale for a visit after a quick teleport, looking around and meeting a girl named Isabelle, the two talked a bit and Caeden was able to break the ice through telling her he'd teach her some magic and all of his special little bits of knowledge that he knew about, using vocabulary that he didn't usually use all the time.

He returned to Yanille for a visit to the Institute to visit family and friends for a short bit of time before exiting to be greeted by Anya Korsokov, who was sitting out and sharpening her blade on a rock not so far outside of the Institute. The two spoke for a bit, being able to get a higher bit of connection than what they had achieved earlier and eventually the two got to the subject of drugs. Caeden nodded, finding that he believed drugs were okay to do and that he would try "blow" with her. The two were then greeted by Evelyn Renderra again and they proceeded to talk before Eve invited Anya on a walk.

Anya asked Caeden if he'd like to come, to which he obliged and the three were off, Caeden sticking rather close to Anya. The three sat under a tree and Caeden had another vision, on family. After a while the three began talking on the subject of Garth Aren, who Eve thought she could save him. Caeden offered his solution after Eve asked about it, and the two spoke, all while Anya listened and Caeden checked on her every once in a while and soon enough they tried to visit the Hawk's Nest where they were greeted by Garth and a group of others before they teleported off and Anya and Caeden departed to rest.

Caeden returned to Eli's ship the next night. Caeden woke up the next morning, as the sun was rising and the ship was anchored, to watch the sunrise after leaving Elizabeth in place. He was greeted by Veylianne, who gave him a friendly punch on the shoulder. The two held some conversation before they started flirting in the Elven Language. The two persisted in their flirting again and finally Vey threw him overboard when he was teasing her.

He stayed underwater for about a minute before coming up and gasping for air. He was grinning widely and then started climbing up the side of the ship. Vey went over and grabbed a fish, and as he had reached the top, she rubbed some fish in his hair. Pretending he was angry, he pulled himself up and started to "storm off." After she said something back to him, he turned around and walked up to her, still feigning his angry. Vey was unconvinced, but he took her by surprise when he came and wrapped his arms around her waist. She had thought something else was about to happen and he picked her up and walked back over the edge of the ship, sending the two into the twenty-or-so feet deep water.

Vey had buried her head into his shoulder and Caeden landed on his back, after submerging two or three feet under, Caeden let go of her and allowed her to swim up to the surface, but, he erupted from the waters before her and the two exchanged some more playful banter for a few moments. It wasn't long after that Caeden wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his waist and they shared a passonate, tongue-twisting kiss and then came the inevitable escalation.

Caeden returned to Elizabeth, Elizabeth where the two, per usual, held each other close while they slept, enjoying heavily the comfort of one another's embrace. Upon awakening, Caeden bestowed her with a new nickname as he kissed her. Upon that, she pressed up closer to him and rose a leg over him, making a rather dirty joke in return. After a bit of harmless banter, waiting until the other members of the crew had went to their posts, the two lovers did what they did best.

A few minutes after they were done, Elizabeth stood, putting on her clothes and moving over to her armour where she asked for a favor. She wanted Caeden to help her clean her armour, to which he agreed he would do. The two went off to find some oil in the cargo hold, which Elizabeth carried back even after Caeden had offered to take it. She claimed it was due to her training to be an archer that allowed her to do such.

After bringing it back, Elizabeth was immediately off to cleaning her armour, and Caeden was a bit more mischievous, pouring some of the oil on the armour and then setting the barrel down. But, this wasn't it, no; he took the rag he was using and smeared some oil on her face, and this started a chain of events which led to him calling her dawn and pulling her in close as he grabbed her wrist. Much to Caeden's chagrin, Elizabeth had only done the same when he grabbed her wrist, she pulled him in and kneed him in the solarplexis only to follow it up with an elbow to the back of the head. He had triggered her PTSD as well as her training.

Knocked out, he simply toppled onto her. This had in-fact, stopped her from acting anymore due to her attachment to him. Veylianne entered the area with a slightly smug room and began to question, after a short few minutes, Caeden awoke after he was set on the ground. Elizabeth herself had moved over to a table to sit upon it, and he rolled to her feet. When Caeden stood, his balance was a bit offset, taking a few steps backwards, he knocked over the oil they had been previously using and then quickly went to pick it up.

Vey continued to be a bit condescending or "Veyful" as they called it, while Elizabeth didn't quite like Vey's attitude, Caeden didn't mind. Elizabeth wasn't quite in the mood for it either, she felt horrible. So, she took to rubbing her arms and Caeden was a bit tired of seeing her like that. Instead of watching like a dolt, he went and wrapped his arms around her waist and apologized, Vey only made one last comment about their time together being "nice" that only Caeden caught.

He only grimaced at that, burying his face into Elizabeth's shoulder and chest area. She revealed that she thought he would hate her. He only shot down that notion, telling her that he cared for her. She, of course, with her experiences, did not believe him. Though, he continued to persist, looking up into her eyes and telling her that he really liked her and she told him she did as well. Soon enough, they came to admit more and more, with Caeden finally resigning and asking her what she would do if he told her he loved her. In response, she pulled him into a passionate kiss that they held for quite some time as he caressed her gently. This time, she asked him about what he would say, the same question and he responded with something that made her melt, it was very mushy and doesn't need to be repeated.

Anyway, before long she stood up, and Caeden thought it inappropriate to do anything more than the two just kissing. She stood, a bit awkwardly to make it a bit easier, and she pressed up to him, engaging a bit more. They talked for a little bit, finally coming up with the solution of them finding a better bed, as all they had was a very crappy, worn out and messy bedroll.

New Bonds
Caeden, after the bit on the ship with Eli and Elizabeth, decided it was okay to return to Yanille to visit the bar. There he met a young, jealous (of Caeden) lad named Riley Raneri, the squire of Anya. He also met an aspiring guildmember named Xavier from Misthalin, whom he directed to the Institute. Anyway, after a while, Riley had a breakdown, as he had been drinking, telling Caeden that he wanted to look just like him and revealing his feelings for Anya. Not long after, Riley passed out and Caeden carried the boy upstairs.

Naturalistic Worship and Mysticism
The practice of Nature Worship is something viewed similarly to the ideals of Serenists and Guthixians of certain denominations. Although, this form is used in coupling with Witchcraft and the way its practitioners operate make them viewed more as Witches than any Guthixian Druid or Serenist Elf. It is a religion primarily written by the Blackthorn Family, this is the version rewritten in certain areas by Ingram Everric and Elana Cross. It is what to most would be considered as a Pagan and Occult faith.

To add, the religion itself is neither black nor white, good nor evil. The morality of the religion itself depends on the alignment of the one using it and so it will come out as the manifestation of one's morality in most cases, though most who practice it would be seen as having a neutral alignment. The Worship and Magics are highly tied together and it's thought that one cannot quite be performed without the use of the other. The main book of worship that holds all of the teachings is known as the Naturarcanum: a giant tome that can be shrunk and grown at will, while multiple copies have been created, only the heads of each coven are permitted to carry it.

Currently, in general numbers, the religion and pracitice itself has shrunk to only have one active Coven and they meet where they can and when they can, usually under a full moon at night at some obscure location to maximize the effectiveness of the rituals.

Deities
The Religion is highly centered on the worship of those believed to be the Forces of Nature. Each and every one is viewed to be archaic in some way, and many hints are given to them being the Elder Gods themselves.
 * The Mother- As with every Pantheon of gods, there must be a Chief Deity who watches over all others. The Mother is that of what all should be, the sky, she watches over all of those she calls her children. She is prayed to for the hope of fertility and prosperity.
 * The Visionary- The visionary is the one who oversaw the creation of everything, he who thought to create all, calling the Smith and the Artist to do his work.
 * The Smith- The Smith is the creator of the planet, with a mighty hammer she forged the world together into one large, blank sphere.
 * The Artist- The Artist is he who wrote the landscape, placed the trees and shaped the mountains; he is the son of the Visionary.
 * The Thief- He who commands those who would take from others to maintain the balance.
 * The Light- He who brings light, most commonly known as the Sun.
 * The Destroyer- He who commands all of the destructive forces of Nature, the controller of the storms, the winds and the waves that may kill one another.
 * The Darkness- In constant harmony or constant conflict, it is unknown to the practitioners of this religion, there is one who rules when there is an absence of the Light's presence.
 * The Demise- As with most religions, Death is viewed as a force of nature. Death is only prayed to when the members of the Coven want someone, well... dead. He is seen mostly as forbidden to pray to. He is, though, the one to pray to during rituals to prevent death or resurrect the dead.

Beliefs
The religion itself focuses highly upon the Worship of the Forces of Nature as a whole, those who inhabit nature and those who have passed on.
 * Harmony- Similarly to Guthixian Teachings, this religion stresses the need for balance and harmony with one another, though it may be viewed as more extreme, as those who practice it would see to overthrow all other governments to form one neutral New World Order. This is, of course, only in theory as those who practice it suffer from a form of laziness when it comes to interaction with Government and higher orders aside from the "Forces".
 * Ancestral Worship- It is believed that when a relative passes on, rather than being brought to the Grim Underworld, those who follow the faith, as the religion is coloquially referred to, are instead fused with the Soul of the World, the Anima Mundi. With this, they become those whom those above chose to protect their respective areas of nature. The most revered are Nature Spirits.
 * Living Beings- All Humans, Animals and Vegetation that live are part of the balance of nature, and it is seen that all are to work together to maintain the balance. Though, when taking the life of another, the heart must be destroyed or offered up to the old gods, whether it be human or animals; vegetation for all intents and purposes is excluded from this rule for obvious reasons.
 * Pacifism- It is to be known to all practitioners of this religion to practice pacifism, which is thought to be that disputes should be solved by peaceful means. However, if someone is aiming to harm the friends or family of someone who might practice it, no quarter that wasn't granted to them should be given back.
 * Mysticism- All of the abilities and things you are able to do through the use of magic are gifts from the higher powers, the Forces of Nature.
 * Freedom- An Ethic as well as a belief, the religion stresses freedom in all aspects. What this means is dependent on one's moral values

Doctrine

 * 1) The religion itself is to be protected at all costs and it is okay to lie for the protection of the religion.
 * 2) Spilling the blood of a higher form of creation (I.E. Dragons, Bears, Unicorns) means that a sacrifice must be performed as soon as possible and a new ritual must be performed and a new site constructed in order to appease the gods.
 * 3) The Deities are the utmost and come before all.
 * 4) Those who practice it are simply known as Witches and Warlocks.
 * 5) The Covens are tightly knit groups made up of Witches and Warlocks alike, unlike many Covens, this Coven type is made up of those who can defend themselves instead of needing a designated defender.

Worship
The Religion focuses highly on worship of the Deities and the Nature Spirits and the worship is always Ritualistic
 * 1) A practitioners abilities must be renewed through prayer and sacrifice at the phases of the moon, at every full moon is when the rejuvenation is the strongest.
 * 2) The Sacrifice can be made in groups or individually, as long as it is being done. Though, the individual at the center of the ritual receives the most power. These groups are known mostly as Covens.
 * 3) Rituals can take place anywhere, though a new ritual site must be constructed each time, that being a makeshift altar of sorts.
 * 4) The Inner Circle is the performer of the main rituals, and only the most practiced and mature members of the Coven are allowed within the Inner Circle.

Conversion

 * Due to the heavy freedom given by the religion, those who are its practitioners are not highly open about what they do and do not openly convert due to the nature of Witch Hunters. One must be rather close to a Witch for it to be known.
 * Once Converted, the new convert must be brought to the leader of the Coven and kept in waiting until the next full moon. And when the moon is at its highest point, the blooding ritual is performed
 * The blooding requires the sacrifice of the life of another living being (usually a larger animal such as a wolf) at the same time, if it is messed up, then the potential coven member will perish alongside the creature that was sacrificed.

Ethics

 * 1) As long as it doesn't harm another being, do what you wish to do.
 * 2) Do not use your gifts to harm another individual, there are other methods for it. In the end, someone who abuses their abilities will be taken by the Deities and returned to the dust from whence they came.
 * 3) Your guidance will come from the spirits, that is the will of the Deities.

Mysticism
As prior stated, the Mysticism practiced by members of this Coven cannot be viewed as black or white. Though, it would be considered a form of magical practice that would be outlawed by the traditional magic users at the Wizard's Tower. The contents within the Naturarcanum, which holds both the beliefs, doctrines and the mystical abilities offered by practitioners of the religion.

Abilities
The Abilities taught by this art can be viewed as very powerful, which is why it is ruled out of hurting other individuals. Most of the younger generations will be found knowing some of these skills.
 * Pyromancy- It isn't uncommon that a Witch or Warlock will know fire magic, as it is the basic form of Self Defense in the teachings of Pyromancy, and it is one of the main studies. Every member of the Coven is going to know this.
 * Cruomancy(Hematomancy)- Blood magic is highly used in rituals, as the sacrifices are "given to the Divine beings."
 * Divining- As a practitioner of this religion is given the ability to "divine" the future or the past through the gifts and can be used if one uses the "essence" of another living creature, be that the sap of a tree or the blood of an animal or person. As most are Seers with the inability to control their inheritance, they are seen using this when they truly wish to Divine.
 * Cardiomancy- A deviation of the magic of the body and the magic of blood comes the magic of the heart, which gives the user the ability to have power over it. It is highly ritualistic and is used to extract the heart during rituals, mostly used on animals, it can also be used on people, but it is highly advised against. This magic is only known by the most trusted members of the Coven.
 * Necromancy- With the effort of multiple members of the Coven, a dead person or loved one is believed to be able to be resurrected with the proper rituals.
 * Summoning- A distortion of the traditional form of summoning, and with enough power from members of the Coven, a demon could be summoned.
 * Healing- Healing is most possibly the most taxing piece of magic, as it sacrifices the same amount of energy that it takes to heal the person. Coven members always try to find others who know how to heal or use the natural methods of healing.
 * Conjuration- This is the form of either taking things from elsewhere, as many mages can do, or the form of conjuring "spiritual weapons" which is something that is rarely ever seen.
 * Arcane Magic- A more practiced Witch or Warlock of the Coven will be seen using different sigils for different purposes and for whatever they wish. To do so, they need the proper time to charge and then must place their hand where they wish to plant the sigil.

Weaknesses

 * Taxation- The forms of magic used here that aren't super traditional (aside from Cardiomancy) are highly taxing. Annoyingly the ones that benefit others in a normal sense, especially healing, are the worst for one to use and can result in death through over-exertion.
 * An eye for an eye- At the cost of healing another person, the Witch or Warlock will be placed into the same amount of pain that the person they healed was in. If the person was mortally wounded, then the mortal wound will be taken on by them; the healer will begin to bleed out of their eyes, nose and mouth and will be placed into great strain until they themselves perish.

Personality
This section covers Caeden's personality "You know, I really wish I could have shown more emotion when raising him, maybe he wouldn't be so afraid to commit."

- Revan Everric

Past
As a child, he was always very adventurous and outgoing. It was all well and good, but, then he was delivered to Revan to be raised, and they had more of a professional student-teacher relaitonship.

Present
In continuum, Caeden's distance from the only person who was a father figure to him left him very distant and aloof. He isn't so stand-offish and he remains very friendly. It seems as though his caring and idea of feelings is non-existent. Though, he's been changing a bit more under the tutelage of Arthfael Olivriar on relationship building and the continuous mage training under Revan, Caeden's blossoming into a wonderful young man. Altogether, Caeden is very charismatic and friendly, though he still holds a bit of a blue and orange morality. He is a pleasure seeker and people tend to figure that out only after he's hurt them emotionally or physically. He has become more sympathetic and his new travelling partner, Elizabeth, is showing him how to feel gradually.

Aside from this, Caeden is a Guthixian idealist pacifist and a Warlock, as both styles call for him to not harm others. He believes strongly in the teachings of Ariston Everric and tries very hard to strengthen his mind. To add, Caeden is of a Chaotic Neutral alignment and usually only does things to his suit. He is deathly afraid of commitment and close relationships, something he shares with a lot of his family, but his is to a higher degree. Though, he holds some desire for a sentimental relationship and to be loved, he pursues pleasure over this due to his fear of said commitment after being raised by his emotionless grandfather, who only treated him as a student.

Appearance
This describes Caeden's appearance

Body
Caeden's body represents his lifestyle. He's tall, slender and decently muscled, and well toned. Caeden regularly engages in physical activity, whether that be running, casual walking, training his body, training in general or sexual intercourse. Caeden himself is pretty free from scars along with a tanner complexion due to his Kharidian heritage.

Facial Features
Caeden's facial features hold a sharper, narrow structure and high cheekbones with a higher back jawline and a rounder chin, all of which holds a bit of stubble. He has a rounded off, shorter nose and thin pink lips. His ears are a bit sharpened, but they aren't super pointed and altogether he has tanner skin. He has pale, light-green eyes as well as a messy dark-black hair with crimson streaks running through it.

Romances
This section covers Caeden's Romances. "I didn't think you for a player... you look far too nice."

- Samantha Leotrun

Romance is not a word estranged to Caeden, in fact it is the something that he intrinsically desires the most, love. However, due to his lack of understanding of emotions and fear of commitment, he has found himself in many, many romances with many different women. He's shown to prefer Elves and the mostly unnatural crimson haired individuals.

Elizabeth Constable
Caeden's raven-haired, brown eyed constant companion, travel partner and lover. The two met in the Yanille Bar one late night and their relationship took off from there. He calls her his "Little Bird" and "Dawn" and she in return calls him "Early Bird."

Aside from their travels, the two are very playful when they're alone and he has bestowed another nickname upon her "Dawn", which is more of an innuendo than anything. Overall, he has finally admitted that he loves her, and she has admitted it in return.

Anya Korsokov
A competitor for Caeden's heart; Anya is a blonde haired, blue eyed, Morytanian beauty. Caeden also met Anya in Yanille Bar and he has taken a liking to her ever since. As the two spend more time together, it only makes him want her more and more. Aside from their obvious physical attraction, whether or not she reciprocates the actual feelings remains to be seen.

Veylianne Ithell
A blonde haired, shorter Elven woman who outlives Caeden by several hundred years. The two met for the first time in the Yanille Bar, where they shared some conversation and eventually she invited him to travel with her. The two have a bit of mutual feelings and copious amounts of attraction to one another, though they understand each others reasons they can't commit. They have shared a one night stand.

Amaryllis
The dark redhaired lover of Caeden, the two don't see one another often, though when they do they have a sort of agreement, the relationship is mostly physical rather than anything else and the two have since split up.

Relations
This section covers Caeden's relationships, friends, family and disliked.

Friends
