Welcome to Gaia! ::

biggrin aemon Winters the Person:

Name: Daemon Winters
Race: Human... Stuck in a sword.
Age: 32 (when he disappeared now would be 48? )
Occupation: Freelance Scholar (part time troublemaker)

Likes: His children and wife, clear days, books, love stories (he’s a sucker for them), tea time, and roses
Dislikes: Thunder, oceans (he has a phobia about oceans), wars, fighting and eggplant
Hobbies: Books (he’s a near bibliophile), violin, languages (especially dead ones), and collecting magical objects

Appearance:
Daemon is average height for a human (standing around 5”10 or around there), and average built, though he maybe considered a bit lanky to some, it’s probably the clothes he wears. His hair is a constantly messy (much to his wife’s dismay) mop of blond hair, which he tries to comb into somewhat decent standards. Unfortunately those blue eyes of his have been wrecked from years of studying books, so now are helped along by his golden rimmed specs, which he tends to misplace constantly. He likes to wear slacks and shirts with nice vests or blazers. He looks often like those old British scholars; he even has a pocket watch chain hanging out of his pocket even though the ‘watch’ itself doesn’t work.

About:
Daemon is, unfortunately for him the stereotypical bookworm, he loves books and dead languages. His habits with books though have driven most of the people around him nuts to the point where he is a freelance scholar. Specifically it is Daemon’s job to research about old artefacts and help people find them. Born with (or scared to have) the gift of Second Sight, Daemon is a natural seer who can see things others cannot. This includes but not limited to, the future, auras, fate threads and dead people. This is ironic since Daemon due to years of studying is quite blind without his glasses, though it is discovered his blindness does not affect his other sight at all.

One would think that being a scholar would keep Daemon out of relative trouble; this is not the case with him. Daemon attracts trouble and always chooses the hard path; he has come to know some very dangerous people in his life who fortunately have some morals. Kind and helpful, though he strikes most as being quite dense Daemon notices more than most people give him credit for. His second sight as made him both an optimistic and a severe critic of the mortal/immortal condition. Despite the fact he is a severe critic Daemon is easy going and willing to get along with anyone until proven otherwise.

As many have guessed Daemon cannot fight, or at least he cannot fight well (his wife had tried giving him lessons throughout their relationship it never fully took). He is however very good at dodging, while one cannot predict the future completely one can most certainly predict the future a few seconds ahead of time. Daemon’s sight especially likes to kick in before something bad happens, so Yume in her time alive has focused a lot on teaching him how to dodge.

:What's in an Age?:

According to the passage of Gaian time Daemon has been missing for sixteen years since he decided to go and stop the demonic creature, however... Daemon upon sealing the sword ended up in the Four Lands.

What little is known about the two worlds is that time in the Four Lands go much faster than in Gaia (the most recent case and example being Elnara who was in Gaia for a few months and turned out she was missing six years.)

He disappeared at 32, gone for sixteen he should be 48, however that is sixteen years of Gaia's time. So how many years had he been in the sword? According to some random calucations it is figured that Daemon has been in the sword for roughly 288 years since he had landed in the Four Lands.

However.. it means nothing since he hasn't techically aged a day and would still look 32 if he ever got out of the damn sword.

:Winters Mansion:

When Daemon married Yume his mother-in-law insisted that as a Winters he should create a family house befitting of Yume's family and soon to be his own. Yume's mother was under the impression that Daemon was the first in a wave of Winters that would create a reputation in Gaia, compared to his 'dottering fool of a father' as she called Richard Winters. So with his funds, and the Mizus' help the Winters Masion was created on a large plot of land brought on the outskirts of one of Gaia's trading hubs. The mansion which stands impressively two stories (three if you included the tower study), is hidden by large willow trees. Throughout the house pictures of the family are kept. According to Daemon's will and testament the mansion is to be inheirted by his two daughters unfortunately the lawyers have had trouble tracking the two girls down. A Mizu family retainter looks after the mansion.

:The Garden:

Though gardening is not one of Daemon's hobbies he likes flowers because of their romantic feel. Since he travels a lot he doesn't fail to bring back some type of plant or another, a lot of them common to Gaia, some not so much.




Walking through the path of lovely scented bushes that are on either side of a the stone path.



They love me... they love me not...



There is no funeral here, but these are for the spirits that wander.



The most common giving flower, caranations.



Go figure a hopeless romantic like Daemon would grow bushes and bushes of roses. He even has blue ones.. those are rare.



Yume loved Daylilies when she was alive, and still so in death, so Daemon always makes sure to grow pleny around her koi pond.



Tulips that bloom every spring around the edges of the garden closer to the mansion, they were always looked upon fondly by the children.



Strange plants that Daemon found on his journies.
