Appearance
Hero is a eccentric young man in his early twenties with brimming hazel eyes and humble facial structure. He has short rage light brown hair; his body complexion is thin, but athletic and averagely tall. Some of his remarkable features is his elegant and welcoming face, his open wide chests and long worked legs. The kid looks younger to his age; however, many may have crushes on him for his charming expressions and intense eye contact.
Hero’s attire depends on his job of choice, but generally, he wears a very common tunic made of a combination of cotton and leather combined with slacks, leather boots and gloves. He accessorizes himself with the Moonshade Earring that Lilisette gave him before departing, leather belt he favorites and pendant he owns since child but does not remember its origin. He will eventually use the Empyrean Armor set of his main job for battle.
Personality:
Hero is a very strong and daring young man driven mostly by courage, honesty, bravery and selflessness. He is a man that has gone through many difficult journeys, hardships and dangers. Through all his adventures and experiences, he has gained maturity and will. Even though he became a celebrity in his early ages, his humbleness and courtesy remain intact. He is the kind of man to do his quests and missions with heart and slip away during celebrations and he will fight injustices without considering too much the consequences. His have gained him the most remarkable fame of his world.
However, Hero has not been able to experience love, neither from another person or his own parents. This, somehow, has created a bit of a lack of emotions and insensitiveness. Another problem is his stubbornness and recklessness. Someone like him pursues danger instead of being chased by it. Therefore, thanks to this personality, he has been able to continue adventuring becoming a man that was capable to change the fate of the world.

Role Play Sample:
Dreamworld
It was another dimension, that where reality never happened and destiny took a new course. The Hero of Vana’diel from the other dimension was thrown inside this whole new timeline to bring justice as he once did during his. Now it was the final battle, against the one twilight king, the king beast of all that was formed from a wicked monster and the purity of another. Prishe, the princess of Tavnasia remained courageous, but her decision to let the hero dwell with the Wyrm God was a wise one. The princess bid farewell to the hero as he entered the portal that linked the space rift with earth… the Empyreal Paradox
From this place, one could see earth itself, and the crystal that gave power to all life beings shattered in pieces… no wonder why the world was in decay and monsters roamed every corner. The Wyrm God floated in the midst of the essence of its victims, blatantly smiling of its evil deeds; this was none other than Shinryu, the one who is pure in blood, yet, with tainted ambitions.
Hero stood before the huge beast, weapon in hand, buffed up and ready to lead an epic battle that will be passed down by bards for centuries. ”Foul beast, I shall slay you and bring back peace to my homeland!!!” the hero said while launching himself towards the growling beast with all the power he has gathered destroying each minion.
The battle was gruesome, of course the wyrm was almighty and powerful, however, and the hero was intelligent and faster. The hero started to fight valiantly and was overpowering the beast until it got tired of the rat and started the powerful spell that turned the world into a crimson sky field filled with monsters… Super Nova! The skies started to open as the meteorite ripped the clouds. Hero held his weapons tight and backed up thinking on how to stop such ordeal. He quickly remembered his fellow companion, the one he fought alongside during his adventures and called upon the power of their bonds to slay down this beast once and for all… ”Blessed Radiance!!! Hero yelled as crystal clear lights pierced the wyrm’s scales and stopped the Super Nova to collapse into Vana’diel once again. The wyrm god started to fall down and its body to fade away with the destruction it brought. Still, the monster laughed louder than ever and looked directly into Hero as a voice called for his name.
”Pitiful being, you shall not taste your miserable victory. Your doom is about to become one with reality!!” Shinryu said before using its last breath to open a rift between worlds and push Hero inside before leaving this dying… at least for now. And then everything faded into dark
”Where did this beast threw me into… what is this place!?’ Hero screamed as his eyes saw a place that he has never seen before, a place where humans dominated… a place where the sky was blue and warmth. Hero checked his forearm to notice a mark… a brand to be specific. This mark was nothing more than the claw of the Celestial Avatar or Light. Hero then looked into the sky to see magical monster raiding the small town he was bumped into. ”I do not understand the meaning of this, yet, justice shall be served” With weapon in hand, Hero went to deal with the surprise attack in this new place where nothing was familiar for him.
