Eon

Eon is a player character in the Hyrule campaign setting of Realm of Shade. He is portrayed by Christian.

History
Eon was a form of Guardian that served as a warrior for the ancient Sheikah forces against Cialana during the War of Converging Time, where he fought alongside a notable sheikah fighter named Oran in a battle against the Goddess of Time's monstrous forces. During a battle, Oran took an arrow to the back while fighting alongside Eon against several bokoblins, fired by a cloaked archer in black. Instead of continuing the battle, Eon took Oran upon his back and fled the battlefield into a nearby forest. They were pursued by silver moblins that eventually caught up with them, with Eon deciding to fend them off while a wounded Oran fled. As Eon was on his last legs, Oran stepped in the way of a moblin's strike, taking the blow in Eon's stead. Once Eon, too, was felled, Oran thanked him for helping him thus far before dying upon his chest. Eon soon followed, entering into a state of extended hibernation and remaining in that forest for years to come.

After the war, Eon slumbered for an unknown amount of time. He was awakened by Doctor Appa, an old, eccentric sheikah scientist in 456 4E and has been in his care ever since. Since Appa never knew how to take care of himself, Eon took it upon himself to cleanup after and cook for the old inventor. He became friends with Lynn Souchalte III, a Twili from the Twilight Realm, who was studying under Doctor Appa, working with him on a few local jobs in Castle Town.

One day, Eon received a letter from Jorulph Kardiger with a request to acquire an artifact on Hateno Island. Along with Lynn, who had also received a similar letter, he joined a merchant's caravan led by an old hylian named Johan that was headed to Port Faron, where the S. S. Ciela was waiting to take them to the island. Though they hadn't talked throughout the journey, Hyle and Toby had both joined the caravan for the same reason.

Personality
Though being a machine, Eon is a kind individual who is always looking out for his companions. Using his cooking skills, he makes meals for the party while they rest. As such, he enjoys finding new ingredients to experiment with.

Eon's tone of speaking is quite flat and often lacks emotion, caused by his robotic origin. He also has a tendency to go off on unnecessarily long tangents when it comes to the risks or precautions of a situation.

Conrad
Eon sees Conrad as his equal: a swift warrior who will fight as hard as him. Though Conrad's proven his value as a fighter, Eon wouldn't mind learning more about the swashbuckling youth.

Hyle
Eon considers Hyle the leader of the group, as the party seems to follow his plans the most, given how intelligently they're typically laid out. He enjoys having Hyle around and likes talking with him.

Lynn Souchalte III
Lynn is like a brother to Eon, seeing him as a great companion who sticks with him no matter what. This is likely due to how similar he seems to Doctor Appa.

Roscoe
Roscoe is someone who is always hungry, which allows Eon to cook for him more often. He likes the stories Roscoe tells and that he makes everything seem fun, even if it comes with mortal peril.

Toby
Toby is a young man who he believes has a bright future ahead of him. He has interesting quirks that make him a delightful person to be around. Eon wants to seem him grow into more of the man he expects him to become.
