Lior

A Horizon Walker Ranger, Lior is a player character played by John.

History
He was born into a small tribe of straggles of the old ways in Saltu called The Antediluvians. His parents, Avia and Eden were his main caretakers along with his 4 siblings. His family were the only ones in the tribe that were other Nephilim which made him (and his family) feel like outsiders to some degree.

He always wanted to know more about the Nephilim and hoped to one day see his people flourish again as he hated seeing how there were only ruins of them left. So he chose as his path to adult hood to be to study the ways of old and record them. Living with the tribe didn't offer a lot of chances to do that but he did his best. He didn't like his older sister's disinterest in the subject and even her judging his interest so he called out her lack of interest. She didn't take it well and stopped talking to him unless their parents forced them.

He was forced into the scrappy army the Saltu high tribes put together as Enthas incrouched in the mountains. He fought in several battles and during one ended up in the same area as Madrid and befriending the dragon. He didn't like the army and ended up abandoning his post, nearly dying in the process of his escape but one of Enthas's spies took pity on him out in the wilderness and gifted him a Immovable Rod. It was helpful for climbing up trees and hiding.

After all that he returned home to continue his studies. Magic was even less a focus for him now after the horrors of war plus he wanted to see if there was anything to be learnt in Acerbus about his people so he went there and met Zeeuris who ended up training him. They were good friends able to relate on the level of being a heretic as Zeeruis was from Umbra originally. His studies though led him to become increasingly obsessive about the matter which led Zeeuris to believe the old Nephilim were possessing him and stearing him towards them. The two didn't get along after that and Lior left to go try to finish his studies elsewhere.

Lior wanting to avoid the still on going (though boiling down) conflict on mainland went to the Eribus Enclave and the high sea to try to find out more. On one of the boats he was on he met Nalta, she had just left her hunter order and was pretty directionless. The two found some solace in each other and became close friends. During their travels the two ended up dating each other.

Soon enough he had found evidence of a valuable ruin off the coast of Stormbrough, the perfect place to complete his rite of adulthood. Ori came along as a witness and so she could report back to their parents what happened, Once he and Ori went down into the water she revealed she wanted to settle the score and resentment of history and stabbed him with a crystal which frozen him in place. He was left in the Nimbus lighthouse for 11 years,
