Series: Final Fantasy X
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Species: Human (unsent)
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Appearance: Auron cuts an imposing figure; he is tall and well built with a battle-worn look to him. One of his brown eyes is scarred over and his face has a rigid, somewhat angular structure to it. It isn't likely that one would see much of it, however, as it is almost always hidden behind a large collar and a pair of sunglasses. His black hair, greyed at the temples, is kept short near the top of his head, the rest of it reaching to about mid-back and kept in a neat ponytail.

Over black pants and leather armor, Auron can almost always be seen wearing his red coat, one arm kept out of the sleeve and folded to rest inside, which is made possible by a large belt worn outside of the coat. Covering the other arm is a leather gauntlet and attached to the belt by a string of colorful beads is a ceramic jug likely containing some sort of Spiran alcohol.


Personality: Auron is a stoic individual, keeping his emotions hidden under a mask of calm watchfulness. He isn't one to sugar-coat the truth, no matter how harsh, and will tell things exactly as they are, a product of being lied to by the Church of Yevon for so long. He mainly keeps to himself, however, and is very serious, working more by practicality than anything else.

Auron values honor and loyalty above all else, believing it to be one of the few things that he still has after his death. If he makes a promise, come hell or high water he will make certain that it is carried out.


Abilities: Auron is quite strong and skilled with large swords, having practiced with them from a young age. However, entry into the city has taken away the skills and Overdrives he had with them, leaving him only with the ability to fight with one.


Weaknesses: Auron can often seem cold, emotionless, and indifferent toward people due to the distance he prefers to keep. He finds it hard to console people due to his blunt nature (and may only end up making them feel worse), adding to that perception.

His view of the world is pessimistic and jaded, that of a man scorned too many times in his life. He is likely to refuse help due to an inherent distrust in most people and an attempt to cling to what little pride he has left.

Auron is blind on his right side, leaving him open to attack, and is rather slow to attack besides, due to the weight of his weapon. Against a fast opponent attacking his right side, Auron would likely drop quickly.


Manhattanite or outsider? Outsider


History: Auron spent the majority of his young life training in Bevelle with the Warrior Monks—what could be considered Spira's army. He rose quickly in the ranks, and was likely to get a position as a maester (Spira's rulers), but he soon became ostracized by the Yevon church (which ruled Spira) after he refused the hand of the high priest's daughter.

Shortly after that incident, he became guardian to his friend Braska, who was going to leave Bevelle as a summoner to fight Sin, a huge, water-dwelling monster that had been wreaking havoc on Spira for the past millennium. Before they left the city, however, Braska took them on a detour to the jail, where a drunkard of a man claiming to be from the ancient, ruined, holy city of Zanarkand was being held. He didn't seem to believe that Zanarkand had been destroyed, and for whatever reason, Braska made this man, Jecht, his guardian.

For much of Braska's pilgrimage, Jecht and Auron didn't get along at all. As time went on, however, the two became close friends as Jecht himself began to change. However, they eventually reached the end of the journey, the ruins of Zanarkand. Jecht's hopes of returning home were crushed, and Auron was filled with trepidation as he realized that he had come to the point where Braska would receive the Final Aeon, dying after he would beat Sin with it.

There was a catch to receive the aeon, however. One of the summoner's guardians would have to sacrifice themselves to become the fayth (the willingly given soul of a person, trapped in stone and forced to dream of the aeons for the summoners for all eternity). Jecht, wanting to do something meaningful with his life and convinced that he could never return home, decided to become the fayth. Auron protested, but Jecht's and Braska's wills were set.

Braska ended up defeating Sin, dying from the use of the Final Aeon. Jecht received a far worse fate. Every Final Aeon that was used against Sin became the core for the next Sin, a fact hidden from everyone in Spira by the Church of Yevon. The Calm, the period of peace, that Braska had worked so hard to bring was nothing more than a waiting period while Sin was reformed.

Auron learned all of this from Yunalesca, the first summoner in Spira, who waited to aid summoners in receiving the Final Aeon in Zanarkand, after seeking answers for Jecht and Braska's deaths. In a blind rage, he rushed at the unsent to get revenge for his fallen friends and ended up mortally wounded.

Still, due to a promise he made to Braska to get Yuna (Braska's daughter) to the village of Besaid, and another promise to Jecht to watch over Tidus (Jecht's son), Auron clung to life, making his way as far as he could with his injuries. Knowing that he was going to die, Auron entrusted a ronso named Kimahri to take Yuna to Besaid before continuing on. Auron made it as far as the Calm Lands before his strength gave out. An Al Bhed man named Rin found him and attempted to treat his wounds, but Auron died during the night.

As Auron still had promises to keep, he stayed behind on Spira as an unsent, searching for Jecht in hopes that Sin could take him to the other Zanarkand. Auron reached his destination and took care of Tidus for the next ten years.

It was after that ten years was over that Jecht returned (still as Sin), wanting to take Tidus to Spira. Auron aided his friend in this, but before he could end up in Spira as well, he ended up in another world.
