Faelern is one of the main characters in Ascension, first appearing in Chapter 2. He is a Sun Elven archer who accompanies Aida Ethelind Fairbairn on her quest and the third Love Interest to be introduced to the game.
Appearance[]
Chapter 2
Faelern is a tall male Sun Elf with dirty blonde hair and green eyes. He parts his hair down the middle. It is not tied back and appears to be quite long. He has very faint tattoos on his chest and face. Faelern doesn't wear a shirt and he wears dark green pants.
Chapter 3
Faelern looks almost exactly the same in chapter 3, however the belts across his chest have changed and he was given 4 hairstyle choices; the original style, which was described above; the archer style, which is a low ponytail parted in the middle with two small braids incorporated into the style; the elven style, which appears very similar to the original style, but with two braids hanging at the sides; and the guardian style, which is slightly shorter, and pulled back rather than parted, and includes (noticing a pattern here?) two braids hanging at the sides.
Personality[]
Faelern is rather stoic and tends to have a harsh way of speaking, and being bluntly honest as well. And when he drinks, he is described as "bearable". He tends to be a very quiet character, that doesn't have much to say. He does have a softer side however, which comes out around the people he cares about, and he is protective of his friends. It is implied that the pain of losing his fiancee is what made him a cold and hardhearted person; he still mourns for her centuries later and desires vengeance for her death.
History[]
Faelern used to have a fiancee Moon Elf named Laela, but back during the time of the Lith massacre in Ildis his fiance moved back to Ildis help the Lith. She had helped some Lith orphans escape but was found out, and Lord Morthil ordered her execution. After these events Faelern states to Aida that he wants to kill Lord Morthil, and tells her not to let Zander get in the way.
Story[]
Chapter 2
Faelern is first shown in chapter 2 when you talk to Victor at his workshop. He greets you as Solyn, and seems to not understand why you want to be called "Aida," saying that "There is no need to call an object by a special name." He then is instructed by Ava to help Aida on her journey. After meeting Faelern by the docks and boarding the ship, you end up snapping at him on the deck. Once you reach Taran, he apologizes. He is then shown to form a rivalry with Alexander Theodin Morthil (Zander) as soon as he meets him (at least if you choose Zander as a love interest.) Right before you travel back to Ildis, he is shown "conversing" with Seena (and by that I mean Seena asks him questions and he responds with "I don't know.") On the boat to Ildis, he is shown to know some basic terms in Kadan, but he cannot translate Seeru's journals without help (the book you get from the library). He makes a guess that the "Failures" are actually the nobles due to the dates matching in Seeru's journal.
Abilities[]
Faelern appears to be skilled in using a bow and arrow. He can also understand some basic Kadan.
Relationships[]
- Aida Ethelind Fairbairn: Faelern is the third love interest for Aida, Faelern and Aida can fall deeply in love or Aida can just stay friends with him. However, even if Faelern does fall in love with Aida, he still feels some animosity towards her. He dislikes her selfishness and cowardice, and never attempts to hide it.
- Alexander Theodin Morthil (Zander): He and Zander do not get along, due to Zander not really liking Faelern's attitude. Faelern also doesn't really like him due to his father who ordered his fiancé's execution.
- Seena: Faelern is shown to show some interest in Seena, seeing as the two were having a conversation how about the Lithian language. He is also shown to protect her in times of fighting. It is possible that they have a father/daugther relationship.
- Victor: According to Aida, Victor was shown to be Faelern's best friend (Chapter 3).
Trivia[]
