Personality/ Appearance
Due mainly to his lack of social interaction as a child, Saruna was initially a timid and lonesome person. It wasn't until after he'd join the Dragoons that he'd begin to step out of his corner and become less anti-social, though he did only socialize with his elders rather than his peers. While he maintains his doe-gooder habits and desire to help those in need, his superficial behavior has changed several times due to various circumstances such as family issues, being in a relationship, and mostly because of shifts in power struggles. His most popular pokerface is that of a trash-mouthed bad-boy with a cold heart. Though among friends and loved ones, he reverts back to the sweet-hearted and selfless person he's always been. There isn't much that can break Saruna's persona, save for his biggest peeves which are elitism, greed, manipulation and threatening his friends and loved ones. He doesn't hesitate to act rashly and ferociously against anyone that would dare commit any of those acts. In public, he almost always is accompanied by one or more women. Not that he doesn't enjoy male company, but he'd rather listen to women gossip and talk about their problems than sitting in a tavern talking about his last hunt, though he'd never care to admit it. As of recent changes, he's spent alot more time with dark and mysterious characters with the intent of understanding the other side while keeping an open mind. After obtaining the Fire Armatis, his personality would be absent at times leaving only the desire to consume aether from powerful beings or areas with high aether levels.
As far as appearances go, he's alternated through several outfits to represent his positon of power or to emphasize his already shallow exterior. Currently he wears a dark red, leather jacket with leather boots, gloves and chainmail leggings. The only consistency in his appearance would be his bronze-tanned skin, a brand that appears over his right cheek after having unlocked his newfound powers.

Saru, The Sorry (1545-1562)
In 1545 of the Sixth Astral Era, Lailah Verselo of House Verselo and the Dark Knight Daenon Alastor met one fateful day as she entered the Forgotten Knight with distressing news as she pleaded for anyone to come to her aid. After he agreed to help her, it would later be discovered that Lailah was in fact a succubus of the fourth ring In desperate need of keeping her identity a secret. As the two grew closer and the months went by, they eventually fell in love. However, their love couldn't last as she was to be wedded to a Highborn noble by the name of Galvus Gram. In her selfishness, she and Daenon made love one last time, though she was not prepared to learn that she had become pregnant with his child. As she kept the pregnancy a secret from everyone, she followed through with her wedding a fortnight later and consummated her marriage with Galvus. As she gave birth to Saruna Verselo within the year, she would bear Galvus' son, Caleb Verselo, the following year. Galvus Gram was a mighty Dragoon that was well respected by all Knights of the Order, while Lailah Verselo became known as the Steel Goddess for her proficiency with metal and mechanical engineering. As both sons grew older, Lailah urged Galvus to hang up his lance to spend more attention to his family, at which Galvus stubbornly declined for he enjoyed fighting for something bigger than himself. It would only be two years later that Galvus Verselo would mysteriously disappear in combat by claim of the mighty wyrm Trishula, the Right Hand of Shiva. His body was never recovered... In spite of his presumed death, Lailah refused to raise her children sternly as everyone had expected. She remained a gentle and sweet-hearted mother, teaching her boys to view the world with an open mind, but to keep their ideals to themselves.
By the year of 1557, both Caleb and Saruna had made quite the names for themselves. Caleb, the clever and charming son, would become one of the most favored students in their academy, while Saruna was quite the opposite. Due to his jade coloured eyes and consistent failures being viewed as imperfections, Saruna was made a pariah by his peers including his own brother, but he never yearned for companionship. Instead, he'd condescend his peers and look down on them, which resulted in many fights between himself and the other children. In fact, Saruna began to question not why he lacked friends, but why there were barriers within a society and people dictating whom they should associate themselves with. However, with much time on his hands from lack of social activity, he decided to study lancing and train under his mother as a mechanic's apprentice. Regardless of the blatant rivalry between her sons, Lailah slowly began to treasure Saruna more than Caleb, feeling Caleb had failed to understand her teachings and subjecting to society's memes. As Caleb become more popular, Saruna became more self-aware of his own existence, defining his own purpose in life. By the age of 13, Saruna had dropped out of the academy to work for his mother's competitor Skysteel Manufactory, and had been accepted as a squire by the Temple Knights. Upon learning this, Lailah became upset that he would drop out of school and choose her rival over her, to which Saruna replied "I can't learn any new tricks from an old dog." Eventually the rift between mother and son subsided, as Saruna invented the "Dual Arms", an interchangeable weapon composed of two separate arms and capable of discharging weaponized aether; which may have revolutionized Ishgard's military forces had Garlean agents not stolen Saruna's blueprints during their covert infiltration operation. Unable to accept another failure, Saruna made a vow to never make another mistake again; as he went on to master lancing and become foreman at the Skysteel Manufactory by the age of 14. Barely a year afterwards, he was recruited and trained intensively by the Dragoons. Between working at the manufactory and training as a Dragoon, Saruna had adopted a penchant for fighting that allowed him to ascend his limitations at an astounding pace. In only three moons since his training began, Saruna became the youngest Dragoon of his generation that was capable of engaging a wyrm on his own. Cabel, on the other hand, had his fame overshadowed by his brother's and grew unyieldingly envious toward him; while in contrast, Lailah was proud and believed he would become an even greater Dragoon than his father. By the age of 17, Saruna had resigned from Skysteel Manufactory and returned home to work with his mother on designs for new Dragoon Armor and Arms...The Storm Chevalier (1563)

Family
Lailah Verselo- One could call Saruna a mother's boy and be almost 100% correct. He's never been away from his mother longer than weeks at a time, save for his hibernation during the Calamity. Lailah has always been Saruna's closest friend and advisor since he was a child, always trusting in her wisdom with unwavering faith. He's also the only one of her two sons to physical injure someone for taking a peeping glance at her while she worked on a magiteck vehicle. Even after learning that she'd hidden the truth of his lineage, Saruna forgave her within days and sought her help to seal the void tear opened by Cirilla Sorey and his Father.
Friends
Lady Panic ~~The Lady of Conquest~~ |
---|
(Close Friend/ Possible Romantic Interest) This Diva of a Xaela is by far the most flashy and dominant woman he's probably ever met, granted she hasn't dominated him yet. Whenever Lady Panic aka Eialana enters a room, you'll know it's her just from the sheer intent of her aura. Always wearing dark clothes and intimidating most individuals, this woman never seems to phase Saruna, instead provoking him into teasing and prodding her, and vice versa. He has had some differences with her, but they got over them and resume their usual relationship of pranks and witty remarks to one another. At the end of the day, this woman in black is one person Saruna can count on whenever he's in need, and he never hesitates to go running to her aid. Recently he's gained a lustful attraction for the temptatious diva, given her powerful nature, yet it remains unknown if this a genuine attraction or simply a ruse to further his agenda.

Madam Seraphine ~~The Mistress of Masks and Secrets~~ |
---|
(Possible Romantic Interest) Not much can be said about this remarkable beauty, except that she always seems to draw Saruna with her alluring charm and wit... And that she enjoys the finer things in life, like wine for instance. As he sat down at a table one afternoon, he'd spark a conversation with the woman, her having been sitting there before his arrival. That conversation would lead Saruna to a begin a new investigation, and drive him towards discovering who she was. After seeing the true woman behind the masks, he now believes more than ever that he can find a kindred spirit within the her. Though he would never admit it, he's begun questioning whether his attraction to her was fated or a lovespell casted on him by the lavender temptress. As of recently, even his cold-hearted facade has begun to thaw as he'd finally chosen to act for himself and pursue her romantically, after putting his own wants and needs before the world's. All that can be said is that Saruna is never left without a smile, as he looks forward to another encounter with the masked Hyur woman.
