Re: Ion's File

[keylimekitten]

Personality:
While his face remains nearly emotionless, it is his green eyes that give away Ion’s true thoughts and feelings. He is a caring person, although somewhat naïve, and is always trying to do what is best for everyone. A quiet child, Ion prefers to listen more than he could talk about anything in particular. People would say he was definitely too trusting of others, which can sometimes get him in trouble with the wrong kinds of people. Even so, it is hard to discourage him from acting the way towards the people that may do him harm, because he believes in everyone. Ion loves animals and holds a very gentle and peaceful atmosphere around him. He comes off as a bit of an airhead at times, but he’s not foolish and, without the restraints of his role as a religious leader, Ion takes time to think for himself when he is alone. All of his feelings for people are usually based on sympathy and pity, but one would have to forgive the sense of apathy he may unconsciously show because he has not had many life experiences due to being sheltered most of him life and cleansed of most emotions. Still, he aims to help anyone and everyone in whatever way he can.

History: Ion was born the youngest and smallest of identical septuplets from an inbred family line within a secret religious organization. Even though he was the one with the weakest constitution, he possessed the most qualities desired within the bloodline out of the other six children. As such, he was chosen to be the leader of the religion and was spoiled and pampered better than the remaining six, who were all raised as servants. Ion was very kind to all of his older brothers and loved them dearly, but not all were as accepting of their fates as Ion was. Ion, however, was not aware of the jealousy of him brewing within his family … or the jealousy from other religious groups.

At the age of eight, a religious terrorist group attacked the family and, as the future leader of the organization, Ion was led to safety after the assurance that his brothers would be following behind shortly. After they managed to escape safely and everything calmed down, Ion was given word that all six of his brothers had been killed in the attack. That troubled Ion deeply, and in his mourning, he allowed himself to be pulled deeper into the religious studies and practices to be the next leader, the Fon Master. He learned his place and how to become the prophet they had wanted him to, as a puppet for the other leaders. The group attracted many followers, addicted to the prophecy of a foretold future that was supposedly inscribed within special stones of the earth… and Ion was the one with the ability to read them.

Ion’s unconditional kindness allowed him to be a welcome leader to the followers, and he met other people along his travels. The religion and his innocent personality also attracted the wrong sorts of people and he found himself in need of protection from the more aggressive groups. One of these groups that had attacked brought Ion face-to-face with another green haired youth, about twelve years of age - the same as Ion, who hid his identity behind a mask. After the other youth’s assassination attempts were unsuccessful, the mask was knocked off and Ion recognized the mirror image in front of him. It had been one of his older brothers, Sync, who had somehow managed to escape the same fate as the others. The thought of one of his brothers still living was only a brief moment of happiness that was proceeded by the older brother attempting to kill him once more. Sync had held much hatred and jealousy, which led to his downfall … and the literal fall down into the ravine below the cliffside where they had fought. The religious group had desensitized Ion from many emotions, but he still could not help but to shed tears for the death of his beloved brother whose life was once again thought to be gone from this world. However, moving on from his brother’s death was easier this time with the influence of his emotionless upbringing, something Ion wished he could change.

The prophecies written within the stones had been causing conflicts and deaths for years, even before Ion’s birth, and with Ion at the head of the religious group, he tried to offer peace and prosperity to all, especially the nations mostly affected by the readings. The two main nations, Malkuth and Kimlasca, were increasing rapidly in aggression towards one another with members on both sides trying to start any conflict they could manage to start a war. Ion and his guardians tried and talked with both nations to try to stop the war, but the tension increased. Determined to keep everyone in peace, Ion wanted to try more to get the two sides to see things clearly and compromise. However, someone grew tired of the Fon Master’s meddling. Tired of the push that his religion and prophecies had on the nations… and then, as Ion was traveling to one nation with a declaration of peace, he was abducted from his guardians. Not much else is known on who or what caused it, but the next time Ion woke up, he was in a hospital bed. He remembered his head throbbing in pain and a bracer attached snuggly at his ankles… but he couldn’t remember where he had been or what he had done. He was told before he was released from the hospital bed that he had accomplished what he was trying to do. Peace had been reached and he had collapsed not long after. Not being able to remember anything up to that point, he accepted the story easily and then looked towards his new life on this island.

Writing Samples
Journal Sample:
My first trip into the town was pleasant. I remember walking through it and looking in all the windows. Things are set up differently here than they are back home, but I prefer this “window shopping” as one lady called it. It’s a funny term for it though, because I didn’t buy anything. I only looked.

There was one toy shop that caught my eye and I found myself looking in the window longer than the other stores. In the window was an interesting cat doll, and it made me think of Anise. I do think of my friends often, and I hope their lives are happy now that they are at peace. Maybe even Anise can feel relaxed now that she isn’t watching over me anymore.

RP Sample:
The small green hairs on the back of Ion’s neck stood up straight as he had the distinct feeling he was being watched. Turning around casually and looking around at the people getting off the ferry from town, he rubbed his neck in an attempt to flatten the goosebumps that formed and held his hairs erect. His eyes wandered through the faces, none of them really paying attention to him except to notice that he was standing in the way of the crowd piling back to their apartments before curfew - the patients of the island all flooding back to get in and feel safe.

Safe from what? Ion curiously pondered the thought. He had heard some of the patients talk before, gossiping as people tend to do, and Ion never meant to eavesdrop… but there was something about people disappearing in the night and never returning. The hospital staff didn’t know, the townspeople didn’t know - it was only in the whispers, echoing softly through the blowing wind - a secret… Was it something simply to frighten people to go home in time?

He turned back around, thinking to himself quietly as he began to walk back to his room, and then a cold breeze rushed by and tossed his hair violently behind. Whether it was just a rush of breeze from the ocean or his imagination, Ion wasn’t sure… but he tucked his bag underneath his arm and picked up the pace back to the sanctuary of a locked door and a warm bed.
