Erik Sarensen, of the Legion of Fate
Nature: Visionary
Demeanor: Loner
History
Before he reached the age of five, Erik was being regularly beaten
by his Ahroun Get of Fenris father, who couldn't stand to see a son who
wasn't a werewolf, or even very strong. These beatings, coupled with alienation
by his peers, made him a very bitter and angry person by the age of nine.
At this point, Erik began to observe society, noticing the intricacies
of his peers and the other people around him. At the same time, he read
a lot into psychology and theology, in an attempt to understand why his
father and peers acted the way they did. Finally, this quest for knowledge
sent him to study the occult. During his delving into the occult, he vowed
to himself that he would keep himself under control, so as to one day better
control others. He learned how to interact with people, and how to avoid
social taboos, and looked into science as a way of explaining more about
the world.
At the age of 13, he met Sam, a girl of similar interests and experiences(except
for the werewolf father). He was too wrapped up in his own studies to take
too much notice of her, although her face lingered in his mind quite often.
When he turned 18, his life began to turn around. His subtle usage of his
new abilities, occult and mundane, allowed himself to insinuate himself
so much into his peers that for the first time in his life, he was accepted
by everyone. A few weeks before school ended before the final exams, he
began to open the minds of his peers, showing them that there is more out
there than just what we can feel and touch. At the end of that week, he
had his peers thinking in his manner, questioning everything, and two other
great things happened. First, he was accepted to Harvard, which fulfilled
one life long dream, and he finally gathered the courage to ask his other
half out, after the exams, and gave her a silver necklace with "Never lose
your faith" engraved on it. She accepted.
That night, he returned home after a little party with his friends
and proceeded to tell his parents of his accomplishment, namely his acceptance
into Harvard. Before he finished his sentence, his father, who always hated
thoughtful types, shifted into Glabro form and began to beat Erik worse
than he was ever beaten in his life. He spent the next couple weeks in
bed, with some strange old native man chanting and rubbing herbs into his
wounds. This increased the pain, but also made him heal faster. The night
before he was to return to school and write his exams, he awoke to the
sound of an out of season whipporwill calling outside his window. Suddenly,
giant black deformed werewolves burst into the house and began to slaughter
his parents before his eyes, and then slowly killing him.
He awoke in a strange place, with some slippery thing slipping
off his face, and a bunch of strange, demonic creatures harassing him.
He was quickly rescued by a strange group of people, who gave him the bad
news. Erik was dead. He began to travel with these people,
but the voice of his Shadow, coming in many different forms and effects,
is making Erik a little tense. He greatly fears this percieved loss
of control, and sees it as yet another weakness of his. To compensate,
he becomes very angry, and tends to lash out at whoever happens to be nearby.
The malfean Markova sent spectres to attack Sam in an attempt to destroy
more of the group. It succeeded. Erik was sent into a Harrowing,
and has succeeded in freeing himself from his Shadow's grip.

Description
Erik Sarensen is a dark haired young adult of about 18. He wears
a black T-Shirt that reads, in white: "Carpe Noctem", and faded and torn
blue jeans. He usually has either an expression of grim determination,
as if he's suffering through something, or a more pensive and examining
look, as if he's evaluating the world around him. In his pockets are a
deck of old playing cards(a few are missing), his wallet, and a silver
key chain.
He is extremely smart, but has been conditioned not to really show
it. He has an intolerance of idiots, but is not usually vocal about
his intolerance. Rather, he just sits there, and points out flaws
in person as time passes and they become more obvious. His Eidolon
and his Shadow both talk to him, but there is a difference in the way his
Eidolon and his Shadow talk to him.
Erik has Fate's mark upon him, and since he has rarely been
exposed to company that he felt he was welcome in, Erik and his Eidolon
are beginning to be more at peace in the 82nd, although Erik gets frightened
of the voices in his head because he sees it as himself losing control,
something he fears almost more than the end of his existance. Erik
is now intensely angry at his "former friends" because he feels they left
him to die, helping Remy because he happened to be "better", and the "leader".
It will take time for these wounds to heal, and no one can tell what scars
they may leave behind...
