Physical Description
Like many Librans, Iolas is fairly androgynous due to his Fae heritage. He has smaller, smoother facial features with short black hair that is carefully combed back. He has bright violet eyes that oddly compliment his pale complexion.
He often wears what’s lightest and most comfortable, though he gets a bit swept up with fashion. He normally wears a layer of light armor underneath his clothing, in case of the odd ambush.
Equipment wise, he tends to tinker around with whatever scrap he has on hand. He does his best to mix magic and technology, but the results tend to vary. He carries twin pistols. The first fires normal ballistic rounds, the second he’s modified to fire energy rounds. Sadly the second, while much more effective, tends to overheat. He’s managed to cobble together a portable shield generator that can take at least a few hits before breaking. It has saved his life quite often.
Finally he has a small knife that can superheat to cut through most metals. Sadly this includes the knife itself. He’s still working on it okay?
Personality
Iolas is a happy go lucky sort of guy. While life has often been hard, he always assumes the best will come so long is he is smart, strong, and not to mention, lucky. He is unbearably curious, a trait that has gotten him into trouble more often than not.
He is not the most trusting individual, but his own good nature tends to beat out his instincts. Due to this fact he’s often stuck his neck out for complete strangers. He may or may not ask for payment after the fact though, can’t have people thinking he’s some kind of Saint.
Magic/Abilities
His mastery over magic isn’t the most flashy or impressive, but it gets the job done. He has enough control over Fire and Ice magic to heat the metal he works with or cool an overheated weapon. He also has been practicing with electricity to see if he can manually charge depleted batteries. This…has not gone well so far.
As for his physical abilities, he uses his smaller size to his advantage quite often. He has a quiet step and is limber enough to fit into many smaller spaces. This has saved his life several times already. He has also worked with lock picks and has recently picked up hacking. His skill with the latter leaves much to be desired.
Relationships
Samuel Seraph – The closest thing to a father Iolas has ever had. He is the reason Iolas isn’t still stuck on Aedolis. He and Iolas were separated when a deal on Edanith went sideways. He is presumed dead.
History
Iolas was born to a single mother on a lower caste of Aedolis. As he grew up, his curiosity quickly became an issue. He enjoyed learning as a whole and took whatever kind of information he could get. By the age of 10 he was already asking questions that could be viewed as treasonous. He didn’t entirely agree with his societies’ values and beliefs and saw something fundamentally wrong with such hedonistic pursuits.
By the age of 15 he was set on leaving. His mother was so hooked on the drugs Aedolis provided, he wondered if she could even remember him. She was a lost cause in his eyes. She didn’t want to leave, that much was true…but he wanted something better.
He began to get involved in several less than legal prospects and was doing his best to save up enough to get himself off planet. After a series of incredibly unlucky events he found himself hiding from the police on a random ship he’d broken into.
He did not expect it to take off while he was on board.
Luckily for him, the owner was a kind, though a bit harsh, man. He was a smuggler by trade. He smuggled weapons, cash, armor, sometimes even people across the stars. He went by the name of Samuel Seraph and quickly became like a father to Iolas. Despite his gruff exterior, Samuel developed quite a soft spot for Iolas. They worked together for five years until their luck ran out.
A deal on Edanith went sideways in the worst kind of way. After a brief firefight and more than a few explosions, all Iolas could find of Samuel was his old pistol. He spent weeks looking for him, but eventually he was forced to give up the search. He left in Samuel’s ship “Aegis”, took his last name “Seriph” as his own, and has been traveling alone ever since.
