Aiden of Sunspear

Aiden of Sunspear was lowly soldier, the bodyguard of a King, and unknowingly a planeswalker.

The Arena
Aiden had a wife and daughter, Melody and Rose, and lived a comfortable life in their kingdom on Aegisul. One day, he wound up on The Arena, unintentionally arriving there, waking up and being unable to remember what happened before he had awoke. For a long time, he struggled to survive there. Desperately searching for purpose again, and searching for a way home, no one seemed to truly answer his questions. He had no idea how he had ended up there, or how he should proceed. After battling a crystal with a living golem, his spear had magically used white mana to defend him from the crystal's harmful energy. He wandered aimlessly for many days and nights, until a "rowboat" (His misunderstood term for "robot") challenged him verbally, reviving his search for a way to get home. Upon further investigation and battling, most notably dueling with the geomancer Aylin and being intercepted by the bloodseer Reyhsia, he soon learned the spirits of his wife and child were inhabiting his spear. Crushed by the fact he had no reason to go on, and nothing to even return home to, he began to slip downwards.

Meeting Karina
His spirit was reignited, however, by the child known as Karina. Though she was possessed at the time, he grew to love her as a second child. As secrets kept finding their way out, he discovered Karina was not as she seemed - but he still fought for her and defended her voraciously. Learning she had not been herself, though so young, only intensified his protective nature. A child did not deserve this.

Facing his past
Shortly after, upon the trials of As'han the fox, the soldier was forced to relive his past. Being abandoned by his parents at a young age, confronted with the abandonment and fear that etched itself into his heart, he nearly collapsed. But alas, his soul burned brightest, and he stood to the challenge. Unfortunately, he began to decline once more. Unable to formally adopt the child Karina, he believed his life miserable and pointless. He had many a sleepless night, remembering his many mistakes in his life - his 12 years of criminal experiences, his painful recovery, lashing out and hurting those he loved against his own volition. Many tears were shed, and many thoughts of eternal rest crossed his mind.

The Battle with Malextros
During this time, Aylin's greatest foe, Malextros, a being who traverses planes purely by accessing it's darkest of mana, began to make an appearance. As it approached the soldier, it offered him his life back. His wife and child could be revived - if he would only betray this near stranger who had attempted to kill him - Aylin. The soldier almost fell to temptation, but found the strength to defy himself and the demon. Soon, battle began. And thus begins the true downfall of the soldier.

Malextros began to fight Aylin, searching for a ring of incredible power. Aiden resolved to come to Aylin's aid, despite her many rejections in the past and found something inside himself... this whole time he had not believed himself a planeswalker. How could he be? He was merely a lowly soldier - no one of note. But something clicked, as his abilities increased. The soldier rode a steed of light down into the darkest of depths, created by Aylin to fight the demon. Finding himself blocked mentally and physically, by his own desires, and phantoms of his wife and child. He suffered many injuries, but none compared to the demon's final stab into his abdomen. Distracted, he failed to block the attack, and found himself impaled. The soldier refused to give up, and covered the entirety of the hole caused by the geomancer in a searing light, as bright as the sun.

Through him and others, the demon found itself momentarily defeated, and left the plane. The soldier was not so lucky, and he began to bleed out, sure these were his final moments. Unfortunately for him, they were not. The healer Hanska had arrived, and began to fix his wounds. But it came at a hefty price. To keep him alive, he had to become... undead. She had to turn him into a vampire himself to elongate his life. However, due to his soul burning as bright as the sun, it began to eat at him from the inside out. He knew he did not have much time left, and had time to engage in the activities of Okus, the hat. The soldier made many mistakes that night, attempting to protect Karina, his second daughter. He was saved from the Xirix due to nothing but a coincidence, and lied to the child, who was sick of lies.

Death
He returned home in time to try and fall asleep. He did not do so for long, as it was interrupted by a nightmare of unknown origin. Outside of his humble shack, he found a tear in the sky. He immediately fought to close it, and upon succeeding, returned to his bed. He would not wake again.

The child found him dead the next morning. She still does not fully forgive him for his lies, or his sudden departure. However, it is enough for Aiden. He and his family remain attached to the spear, which the child now carries.

Aiden of Sunspear was not a great planeswalker, or a great man. He had his flaws, and still suffers for them to this day.
