Name: Eros Alyxandros Shander
Species: Hylian
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Physical Appearance:
Background:
Eros was always the odd one out among the members of his close family, with a long history of serving the royal army it was somewhat expected that Eros would do the same. From an early age he began to train in the art of swordplay, riding and everything else one would need to know going towards a future as knight in service of the royal family. As a small child he often accompanied family members during training, being close to his older cousin Link, but for him it was the closeness of family which was attractive, not the idea of fighting someone using a weapon. But, against his wishes, it was decided that he would be page for one of knights in Hyrule. Eros was not at all happy with this, he tried to voice his opinion, but was largely ignored or told that it was just nerves. Unlike many other members of his family he had little loyalty towards the idea of serving the interests of someone other than his family.
He was seven years old when they made this decision, and on the evening before he was to leave for his new position they had a dinner in honour of the occasion. Having spent the last months trying to argue without being heard finally was enough for Eros, being young and impulsive he snapped during a speech his father made on what an honour it was that his son would continue the tradition of being a knight. For the last time he tried to argue, he did so loudly and refused to become someones glorified servant just because it was what everyone else wanted.
Naturally his parents were upset and embarrassed by his outburst in the presence of so many members of the family. When they tried to beret their son for his action it only made him more angry, and as he became angry it felt like something wanted to push itself out of his body, like something inside that desperately wanted to be released. At the peak of this tantrum, that is what happened, waves of raw magic began to burst out from him. In an attempt to protect Eros the magic created a large bubble of arcane energy that pushed everyone else away, in effect keeping them out and Eros in. Magic was not unheard of in the family, but it was not something they tended to go towards as a profession, as such this created much confusion as they attempted to find a way to remove the barrier. But, it didn't work as they tried to break in, and it soon became apparent that Eros himself didn't know how to get the bubble down.
Help came from an unexpected source with the arrival of his great grandmother Erin, this was a surprise because she liked to keep to her village and rarely travelled longer distances and members of the family generally came to visit her more than the other way around. Being 200 years it was a respectable age, and so no one in the family was expecting or demanded her presence at any such functions. With the assistance of his great grandmother, Eros was able to dispel the barrier. It was clear to Erin that Eros was born with potent magic, with the same lack of control that she herself had experienced as a young girl. (To this day she has not revealed how she knew when to visit at the time she did)
At first his parents didn't much like the idea of their son becoming a sorcerer instead of a knight, largely based around their own sense of pride and having already envisioned his future for him. But Erin quickly shoot this down when she related the story of how she almost died from not being able to ventilate the amount of raw magic which was building up inside her. Like it or not Eros was born with a dangerous amount of magical energy, and this was not something which would vanish because his family wished it away. So, after a good scolding and some well placed arguments, it was decided that Eros would train with his great grandmother and become her apprentice instead. In all honestly the idea of becoming a sorcerer had not even crossed the boys mind, but now that it was something offered, he was not slow to accept it.
What followed came to be a turbulent change in Eros' young life, he travelled with his great grandmother to live with her in the village of Felbrook. He has been living there ever since, under the tutelage and care of Erin. Because she had already experienced the problems connected with this kind of over-charged magic it was easier for her to help him in turn, which is what she did. The training with Erin mainly focused around ways to control his innate arcane magic to help him ventilate the building pressure, but she also gave him extensive lessons in how herbs and minerals in nature could be used to more easily channel his spells.
