Kaelus seeks to find a true balance between life and death, as he is forever caught between these opposing forces. His journey is one of self-discovery, to understand whether there is a way to harmonize these extremes within himself. He is drawn to the possibility of controlling his volatile nature—striving to find a way to balance creation and decay in a way that does not destroy him or others. Whether through seeking ancient knowledge or reconciling with his powers, Kaelus longs for peace, yet fears the consequences of altering the natural cycle.
Character Traits
Kaelus lives a life torn between two opposing forces, embodying the balance between life and death. The very essence of his being reflects a constant struggle for harmony, a journey that causes him to embrace both creation and decay. While he has a quiet and stoic demeanor, there is a weight to his existence that is ever-present.
Throughout his journey, Kaelus is:
- Conflicted – Struggles to reconcile the forces within him, finding balance difficult but vital

Skills & Abilities
- Touch of Life & Death: Kaelus’s hands serve as the conduits for his power. With a gentle touch, he can restore vitality to the weary or ignite the spark of growth, nurturing life where it is needed. On the contrary, a single brush of his hand can induce decay, cause withering, or guide a spirit through its final transition.
- Voice of Transition: Kaelus’s voice carries immense power. When he speaks, his words resonate with the essence of both life and death. His voice can heal wounds or bring fatality, depending on his will, and guide souls between realms.
- Sensing the Flow of Life & Death: Kaelus is attuned to the subtle pulse of life and death that surrounds him. He can feel the ebb and flow of vitality in all things, sensing when life falters or when the veil of death nears. This sensitivity allows him to understand when and where his influence is needed, though it also often leaves him burdened with an overwhelming awareness of mortality and growth in all things.
Primary Weapon
Kaelus’s primary weapon is his hands, which channel his connection to life and death. A simple touch can either infuse vitality or bring decay, depending on his intent. With healing, his hands radiate warmth, gently fostering growth or restoring life. In moments of death, his touch turns cold, causing life to wither or guiding spirits through their transition. His hands embody the fragile equilibrium he maintains between the forces of life and death, making them both a gift and a burden he must carefully control.
