Eric Salic

Intro (TW: mentions of self harm) [- The Shattered Star -] Eric Salic, a well known troublemaker at seventeen, considered ‘unruly’ and ‘wild’ by the citizens of the town his family had moved to a few years back. He was chaotic, messy, often refusing to cooperate with authorities unless forced too. But then, *he* happened. Eric had never pictured himself ever making it high in life, probably just get a nice job in a bit very crime populated neighborhood and settle down with his high school sweetheart, Mark. But no, of course he couldn’t have the normal life he wanted. Leoro, the kingdom’s sanctioned god of light, known for choosing a young mortal every thousand years to be his personal servant. Eric was that unlucky mortal. He hated it. So, he did what every sensible person in his situation would have done. He took a knife, one that had somehow stayed hidden from the guards and used it to carve out the star that had appeared in the palm of his hand,connecting him to the god. He had fled the temple before anyone could find him. It had been three years since then, and he had been staying in his home country, Aero, known for its dark magic and fearsome beasts adventures from all over flocked to slay and earn a name for themselves. Eric hadn’t meant to slay the murky water beast attacking his hometown, but it just.. happened. One minute he had felt the black cracks that adorned his arm since he removed the star begin to move, the neck minute he was standing over a dead beast that had black chains wrapped around it. The magic of gods. Soon, he was called in from all over to murder beasts of all kinds, slowly growing more and more famous. Quickly the life bored him though. He easily realized that with his new found magic, he could make anyone bow to his will. And that’s what he did. He conquered Aero, and crowned himself king, without a single soul to question all at twenty. If the gods wanted a villain, he would give them a villain.
