GENERAL APPEARANCE
Éamon generally carries a ragged, shifty appearance. Mostly as a result of his hair, his pale complexion and choice of clothing which always seem like it's just a couple more holes and tears away from being a rag. It's not as if he had any other choice though. Most of his outfits are bought secondhand, maybe even third. Money was tight during his life and although they had been reborn with richer lives, this thrifty attitude carried on even then.
Aside from his hair, his height tends to make him stand out both in the figurative and the literal sense. This allows him to carry an imposing air even though he was rather skinny in stature. People have often mistaken him from an athlete judging from how he looks though he is always quick to clear up the misconception.
A handful of people have sometimes remarked that Éamon somehow resembles a corpse that was brought back to life, much to his chagrin. He is quick to roll along with it though and he's soon learned to make the best use of the impressions he evokes.
◇ Carefree ◇ Apathetic ◇ Awkward ◇ Unsettling ◇ Intimidating ◇
Éamon's a rather easygoing and approachable guy; if one can get past his shifty and ragged appearance. He can be both a good listener and speaker, capable of holding a conversation on virtually anything under the sun. Unlike other people, he has no qualms about approaching strangers and talking to them though this behavior can easily be seen as intrusive by the more reserved folk.
Underneath the sunny exterior though, his own thoughts and beliefs tend to border on the unorthodox side. Thanks to the events he's experienced when he was still in his original life, he's come to view the world differently, resulting in his apathetic yet practical approach to most things. He's a bit of a nihilist and a hedonist, given how he lived and died.
He is rather passionate when it comes to music and he isn't easily disheartened by criticism or comparisons. This has allowed him to become versed in several instruments though he never considers himself as a master of sorts. His tastes does seem rather odd and weird which still makes him difficult to place in organized performances.
◇ Music : Éamon's only passion in life seems to be music and he seems to equally enjoy listening to it as much as making it. His preferences leans on New Wave, Ambient and Jazz. The rest are either take it or leave it with him.
◇ Dragons : Éamon's got a weird fascination with dragons for some reason. He's rather fond of them and he usually has several possessions bearing this motif.
◇ The Modern World : Despite the richer life they lead in Rapsodía, Éamon still longs for the urban world and all its bells, whistles and imperfections.
◇ History : Yet another pursuit he found worthy. Éamon had actually considered becoming a history professor once.
◇ Getting called by other names : Éamon tends to get irritated whenever someone uses other names to refer to him (such as his title). He seems to do fine with placeholders like "odd guy", "scum" and "oddball" though.
◇ Rules : While not an outright rebel, Éamon tends to disobey rules which he deems obsolete. Same with music. As someone who's never completed his formal education in it, he generally goes against the classical tenets.
◇ Debts : Éamon doesn't like owing anything to anybody.
◇ Perfection : Éamon dislikes things that are "too perfect" and ideal.
◇ String Instruments : Among all the instruments Éamon has learned to play, he is most capable at stringed instruments.
◇ Eye for detail : Éamon is good at spotting the most meticulous of details, allowing him further insight to things.
◇ Wind Instruments : He's generally bad at this.
◇ Apathy : Éamon generally lacks the motivation to do anything he's not interested in; a point which puts him at odds with his more industrious fellows.
Éamon wields the Ring of Arach. It is in the form of a plain, steel ring adorned with two pearls, one blue and one green. Pearls are a common motif associated with Japanese, Chinese and Indian dragons. It is also a common motif found on the coat-of-arms of the Knights of Old Rapsodía, which of course includes the legendary creature associated with it.
This Artifact gives Éamon some of the privileges kept by dragons. One of this is the ability to travel through the Dragon Lines, giving him easy transport across lands given the proper alignment and gates. In addition to that, it also allows him to tap into the power of the Dragon Stream; an inexhaustible source of energy. Tapping into this gives him unnatural abilities like regeneration, strength and clairvoyance. At full power, he is even capable of acquiring a complete dragon body for a short amount of time.
Upon activation, a small ethereal dragon coils around his arm which serves as his rite of passage and his limiter. The longer he taps into the Dragon Stream, the more corporeal the dragon becomes until it reaches a state of physical existence wherein a Dragon God itself bursts forth. As no world nor vessel is capable of containing the existence of such a deity, it will forcefully deactivate, sending the god back to its realm and draining Éamon of his energy.
While only he has the right to tap into the Dragon Stream, he is allowed to share his privilege of traveling across the Dragon Lines by means of a blood compact.
Éamon grew up in the rough streets of Dublin, during the time of economic recession. The cycle of fortune ruled his life completely as he often found himself possessing bad luck one day and good luck the next. He was born into a rather rich family but his parents died in a freak accident when he was six, leaving him and his inheritance in the care of his godparents. His godparents took care of Éamon since they had no child of their own, and they also managed his inheritance wisely, making sure that he doesn't blow it all away on useless matters.
Rough times followed soon after and, despite the hefty inheritance, Éamon's family soon found themselves struggling financially. They had to cut back on a lot of expenses, including education and Éamon was transferred into a public state school. It is in this place where he first picked up playing instruments due to the lack of recreation. He would expand and sharpen this talent over the course of four years, until such time that the school officially recognized his capability. As a stroke of good luck, he was later accepted in a prestigious music college, much to the joy of his godparents.
Unknown to them though, Éamon had been diagnosed with chronic leukemia and his body hadn't been responding to well to medicine. He stopped treatment sometime before he entered college, in order to ease the financial burden on himself and his family, deciding to let fate take its course naturally. Luck was on his side though and his body continued to resist, going beyond the estimated time he had left.
Studying in such a posh and strict atmosphere didn't sit well with Éamon and he soon found himself uninterested in the notes, measures and scales being taught there. As a small act of rebellion, he teamed up with a bunch of other misfits like him and formed a band outside school, which he used as an outlet of creativity. They would perform in pubs and bars in the evenings and even formal events should they find the time. Eventually, their band gained recognition and the path to stardom soon opened up.
Unfortunately for Éamon, he wasn't able to accompany the band he helped form on their rise to the top. The night they managed to get their first record label was the last night he ever spent with his friends. They partied hard all through the night before parting ways to go home and prepare for the trip to London the next day. Éamon bade his friends his final goodbye that night. He never made it home as the illness finally caught up with him.
Resurrection in a new world wasn't something he exactly planned but he decided to take it anyway since he thought it was the good luck that comes after the bad luck that is death. The life of a soldier needed a lot of adjustments on his part but he eventually got used to it and along with five others, soon established himself as that world's knight of sorts.
The novelty soon watered down though and Éamon eventually found himself bored within Rapsodía. Soon, he started longing for the old urban life he originally had. For now, he just spends his time trying out things he wasn't able to do back then...such as being fluent in at least one wind instrument.
