➥ Character Concept
Sseian is a technology invested knight, with loose curiosity in Marayan culture and history, and a dulled temperament from his history in combat. He is rather blunt and straightforward, if stiff in how he socially interacts with others, and intends to keep a neutral freelance knight for the benefit of others (and himself). His experience in the Regalian-Sendrassian War has left him with something he has yet to grasp.

Sseian is a mixed Maraya-Ailor with gray body markings and cranial horns, with identifiable butterfly-esque ears. Otherwise, his dominant Ailor heritage comes through in his hair, which is a intensive shade of auburn red, and curly by default. He has sustained several 'minor' scars from his deployment in Hadar, along with numerous surgical scars, though most all of these are unable to be seen by the naked eye.
He keeps a weird and terse expression most of the time, eyebrows constantly furrowed, but it is just his resting face. He dresses very practically in coats of numerous varieties when not in armor, and may be seen with his mechanical gauntlets rather frequently, and stands at an average height of 5'6.
➥ Faith
Sseian is raised a Guided Unionist, with attention to the Schism God Morgan the Wicked, Elia the Huntress, and Juvin the Teacher. It is recognized, even if he will never speak on it, that his experiences in Hadar had impacted his hold on Unionism as a Faith. He still pays loose service, but now remains largely muted on the subject, plagued by visions of the Blind God.
In relation to his experiences, he is Purist leaning, but certainly not motivated against the occult. He is just naturally paranoid in a environment where he lacks defenses from magical attacks, and relies on his machines heavily as a result.

Point Spread
Melee [ATTK-STR| DEF-WIS]
Sergios is a Stanceless but adaptable combatant that utilizes technology to aid him through encounters against those many times stronger. He is also a martial fighter, more comfortable in hand-to-hand than sword fighting, but for sake of Knighthood will use a blade until it becomes detrimental.

Story Hooks
Sergios is a Realm Knight of Regalia and uses technology both of Ailor and Marayan origin to help him survive his encounters. He has no particular allegiances or strong dislikes to Charters, and no particular leaning on non-knights aside from those who are illegal (such as Afflicted). He however is nervous around demons and some mages due to his limited options in protecting himself against forms of magic.
> Maraya-Ailor Upbringing
He is raised in Girobalda between a Maraya and Ailor pair, enough of a middle class family thanks to the trade and expertise of his Mother(s) combined trade skills in machines and engineering. His Marayan mother was a Vaulter as a child, and recounts only a few memories of the times before, but they serve as inspiration to his interest in Crystaltech and the lost history.
> Regalian-Sendrassian Veteran
> Sergios' history as a Realm Knight began in military service, having survived the field deployments of the Regalian-Sendrassian War. He was not slated for combat originally, instead brought in as a technician, yet he was recognized for his survival in the frontlines and creative technological weaponry. He was knighted by the Duke of San Mataverda after the war, and has since traded his dependency on firearms for martial arts.
> Alchemical and Technical Necessities
> Sseian is someone who is in need of various services. He may be skulking around technician shops for engineers to service his combat gauntlets on his non-patrol days, and linger in alchemical shops for sleep aids and other products. He understands very well to mind his own business, and holds his tongue just as well, when not on active duty.
> Blinded Dreamer
> He suffers from estranged dreams and visions of terror, which he often blames on the monsters of the Regalian-Sendrassian War. The inexplicable dreams starkly involve a burning eye, and likely are of the Blind God, though he has no context for these visions. For this reason, unfortunately, he finds Abyss Arkenborn unnerving for their eyes. -
██████ Condition
Sergios is a Brakin, howevever he himself is unaware of this fact. The Bronn that saved him in the jungles of Hadar and spared him disease and physical suffering after is Zarann, a former unit of the Bralona High Command responsible for taking Regalia by storm one summer. After the dissolution of the High Command, Zarann had resumed chasing his personal interest in animal research and ended up in Hadar to examine the most ferocious and untamed creatures Aloria had to offer, until the Regalian-Sendrassian conflict began just a spare year later.
Zarann has obscured his presence entirely to Sseian since the process of becoming a Brakin, and even obscures the physical toll of being a Brakin through mundane shapeshifting. Zarann in particular studied organic life, and so sewing Sseian's form was a easy task, though scans by Unicores or other devices may reveal his true nature. Zarann's motivations for having rescued Sseian are still unknown, but given his previous affiliations as a High Command soldier and his evident attempts to hide himself through Sseian, they may be dubious. Until he becomes active to even provide some form of answer, it will remain a mystery.
The Bronn himself could be characterized previously as easily intrigued, but lacking in a moral compass, not understanding most traditional customs and disregarding them entirely in favor of simply 'studying' and researching organic life. He also is ambivalent to the Occult, but he seemed to dislike the notion of using magic as a shortcut for scientific methods, and especially corruptive magic as it can impact normal animal behavior and genos in difficult to parse ways.
