Solaris

For as long as he can remember, Solaris has lived within the walls of the star temple. He has never been outside of his world, but he has a vast knowledge of various things due to plenty of times studying and learning throughout his lifetime. It is unknown exactly how old he is, as he appears as a male around eighteen, but often speaks of things that would have been far before his time in other worlds like he has experienced them. Solaris is known as the guardian of the temple, he knows it inside and out. He knows of the dangers that lie within, and shares a deep connection with it that makes him as much of a mystery as it. He contains both light and dark in his personality, but seems to be more run by the light than the dark. He typically comes off as a warm and kind being, wise beyond his years but also naive at many things, especially social interactions. He has a strong sense of justice, and though he appears innocent and weak, one to never underestimate. Solaris is about six feet in height, with warm tan skin and white hair that at times has a light lavander color to it. His eyes are a piercing crystal blue, that people often say can see through to their very souls.

Solaris is faster and more agile than normal human beings. He has honed his skills, and seems to be a master of stealth and a master gymnast. He is skilled in various forms of hand to hand combat, prefering it over the use of weapons. He has a sixth sense, which seems to let him see deeper into people than others. He can see the mirror sides of people, the light and dark. This often makes him an excellent judge of character, and allows him to "sense" things about others that people would not normally know. It is as if he can read people like a book. This ability also allows him to sense changes in the balance around him, primarily in energy. Meaning he can sense something evil coming or danger. His connection with the temple and the world around him allow him to know things going on within the world, even if he is not around, as if he "speaks" to the temple or the land itself. His true power, lies within what gave him his name. Solaris is a master of the stars. He is able to manipulate energy to his will, which will typically take on a lavander color. His main use of it is to summon "star beings" or guardians of the stars to do his bidding, the strongests are those of the zodiac. The full aspects of his power are a mystery however, like the rest of him.

A small spark of light fluttered through the darkness. Over the white marble coffin that seemed to stand in the center of an empty room on a pedistal. Up to the star shapped mark at the top, before the star began to glow, casting the room in a warm lavander light. The top of the marble coffin vanished, revealing the sleeping male clad in white within. Stirring slightly, he slowly sat up and placed a hand to his head. His eyes opened, and for a moment he was silent. Nothing made noise around him, but words seemed to flow through his mind. The temple was waking up once more, as well as the land. It was expecting visitors, some were already on their way. Sliding out of the coffin, he steadied himself on the side.

A hand whent to his chest, where an amulet hung. If one were to look inside, they would have seen a smooth stone, that looked similar to the night sky. The colors and patterns of stars across it changing. At times, it would hold what looked like a full galaxy, at others, just simple stars. He was glad to see that it was safe and still there. Glancing at the windows, he noted the sun beginning to rise. It had been dark within the world for quite some time, as had he been asleep. He walked out of the room, gaining his strength and balance quickly as he went. He could already feel the world around him waking up, now him as well. He wondered for a moment who would be coming to this place. It was linked to many worlds, many dimensions. It was hard to guess who would come from where.

People could come from different times of the same world...or different dimensions of the same world even. The possibilities were limitless. This was the only plane in existance, that seemed to have ties that could span to all others. He paused just outside of one of the doors, looking out through a series of openings that created windows. He took a breath, people coming here was both good and bad. They had a right to know what they were getting themselves into right? He ran a hand through his hair, taking a breath. It did not matter though, once they signed the unspoken contract of stepping through those gates...there was no going back. He made his way to the stairs, moving down to where he could hear the rushing of the falls.

A mist was carried on the wind, up towards him, and he enjoyed the feeling. A light smile formed on his face, before his body tensed and froze. His eyes moved out over the land, to where a familiar sight greeted him. A pair of large silver gates had appeared, and were now swinging open. There was nothing around them on the grass, nor behind. If one looked through the gates though, another world laid beyond. The first guest was arriving, things were already being set in motion. He could not stop them now, but how would everyone fair when playing their part?
