Player: Name | laenavesse Character: Helios Canon: Sailor Moon (mangaverse, post Stars Arc) Age: dirt. No, no one really knows, but despite being likely centuries to thousands he looks 12-15. Bio Blurb: Wiki is useless but I do have a full write-up here. For the short run, Helios is a priest who resides in a holy shrine within the mystical realm of Elysion, a place said to exist within the heart of the planet Earth. He once served the Earth's Golden Kingdom before it all fell to ruin, and since the world's reincarnation has continued with his duties for millennia with only the two maenads at his side. From Elysion Helios is able to protect and watch over the Earth, using his powers of purification when necessary. Due to his role, he is directly connected to both the Earth and Mamoru, acting as Mamoru's guardian.
To quickly sum up the Dream Arc, Nehellenia from the Dead Moon invades Earth through a solar eclipse and strikes down Helios with a curse as she attempts to find the Golden Crystal. Trapped in Elysion he is only able to seek help through his Pegasus form. Before this Helios had received a premonition to seek out the young maiden of beautiful dreams, Sailor Moon. He appears before both Usagi and Chibiusa, but he bonds with Chibiusa. He eventually reunites with Mamoru, informs them of everything, romances with Chibiusa, lots of fighting, Mamoru has the Golden Crystal, more fighting, until near the end he uses all of his powers to help their final battle. Although believed to be dead, Chibiusa is able to reawaken him with a kiss and inadvertently helps reveal her own pink moon crystal. With Nehellenia dead and Elysion restored, Helios sends them off, promising Chibiusa that they will meet again in the future, and returns to his duties in Elysion.
Personality Blurb: In terms of demeanor, Helios is your all around nice guy. He's polite, gentle, kind, helpful, and given his real age, he has ample wisdom and maturity, always ready to give advice or reassurances if needed. He is patient, tolerant, but he isn't a pushover. He has strong morals and sense of righteousness and justice. Against evil and any threats or danger, he will stand up to fight with all he has. But despite his age and wisdom, he's always lived in Elysion and thus naturally curious about everything outside of his realm. He knows about what's going on the surface, but never experienced it himself. Because of his polite demeanor, he can also be naturally charming without realizing it, but he can also be a little playful.
tl;dr he's a pure cinnamon roll.
Preferred Essence(s): Still thinking, but currently considering Morpheus and Hynos since they are both dream and sleep related. I also considered Nyx as an opposite to his usual association, and then Aether and Hemera for daylight associations.
EDIT: I remembered another one—Merlin! Kind of fitting with the whole prophecy and transformation, and priest, wizard—close enough. There are a lot of interpretations I could work with so narrowing down a few might be tricky, but I think it could be a fun one for him.
Looking For: MY MIND IMMEDIATELY WENT GREEK GODS but it doesn't have to be. Obviously Helios the Greek god is out, but I also considered other characters/figures related to the sun. In some ways I'd like to do something different with Helios, but at the same time that's like his thing so oof. I'd also like an essence that allows him to transform still, though not necessarily has to be exclusive to a pegasus.
Appearance: Helios will look more or less the same as an ambiguous young/mid-teen. The rest of his appearance will depend on his essence. He's also short. Like 5' or less short. He will continue to have the red gem on his forehead, but he will not have the golden horn that he's usually illustrated with as that would have disappeared by his canon point.
If I take him as Merlin, he'd have the classic wizard robes with a white color scheme and moon and sun themes that fits both the character and Helios himself. He'll have a staff as well, one he can conjure up at will. And maybe a big spellbook or crystal ball—maybe.
Abilities: Again will depend on his essence, but he can originally traverse through dreams, protect the planet Earth through prayer, cast some healing magic, purify, and transform into a pegasus. The key point is most of his abilities are connected to Elysion, and since he will not be there he wouldn't have access to them, anyway.
With Merlin he'll regain a few of his original powers, such as healing and transformation, but while he'll mainly take on a Pegasus form he can also take on other animal forms. I could probably tie in some of his original dream abilities as well as including brief prophetic flashes that grow stronger as time goes on. I'm mostly basing this off "classic" Merlin, so able to harness basic elemental spells with fire and light his strongest and dark magic not really something he can do very well. I'd like to take on a more "natural" slant to it as well. Maybe capable of creating small cures and blessings for protection.
Quirks: Try to turn young boys into heroes—okay no. Hmm I'm not really sure what would be a good quirk so any suggestions appreciated!
Goal: I need a nice, soft boy to balance out my loud and angry ones lmao. Extra: Nothing but to say THIS IS TENTATIVE and I wanted to do a workshop so I could mull over my options. Questions: why does nostalgia always hit so hard
