==History==
==History==


Adrios exalted fairly young and, though he tried to hide is new nature, was soon brought before the [[Tri-Kahn]] of [[Chiaroscuro]]. Offered a choice between exile and service to the Tri-Kahn, Adrios chose service. For years, the Tri-Kahn secretly used Adrios as an assassin, most recently to eliminate dragon-blooded within the city. He grew to hate these tasks and most everything else about the Tri-Kahn. The only bright spot during this time was [[Toness]], the mother of one of the Tri-Kahn&rsquo;s wives. She acted as a mentor to him, and was generally one of the few people to treat him with kindness.
Birth into a merchant family gave the boy who would become Regret of the Sun enough education and spare time to grow envious and resentful of his lack of social mobility. He joined the Imperial Post at a young age, due more to a desire to see the rest of the world than any patriotic feelings for an empire he considered far too rigid and petty. Soon after becoming known for his willingness to deliver into "barbarian" lands, he was secretly recruited as a courier by agents of House Iselsi. This eventually led him to create an expanded "side business" as an information broker.


Toness&rsquo; philosophy was that people should do kind things for others when they could. Adrios tried to embrace this ideal and, though he often succeeded, it was directly at odds with his role as court assassin. This continued to gnaw at Adrios as he got older, and eventually became unbearable.
With contacts in the Empire, the Scavenger Lands (particularly Nexus and Lookshy), the Guild and elsewhere, his services were in high demand. In spite of his success, he never found much more to respect about society outside the Empire than within.


At this point, the Tri-Kahn tasked him with trailing a dragon-blooded who was leaving the city and killing him in the wilderness. Adrios walked after the target and did kill him but, afterwards, just kept walking. He is fairly sure that the Tri-Kahn has since sent people after him, but does not care, though he misses Toness.
[[Image:Regret.jpg|left]]After several deals involving the Immaculate Order, he became aware of a force of fifty dragon-blooded being assembled into a Wyld Hunt, supposedly due to a prediction that a powerful solar would exalt on an isolated, wooded road nearby, though with indications that something may be "off" in the prediction. Wanting to gather information on the capabilities of the dragon-blooded, he traveled secretly to the road and waited in hiding. The Wyld Hunt arrived silently one by one, setting up an ambush.


Like all things, he eventually reached Nexus, where he made his living as a thief for a time, though he generally gave away most of what he stole. He also met [[Vravanu Koya]], the daughter of a well-to-do merchant and they began seeing each other in secret.
As the sun started to set, a local farm girl came down the road leading a manure wagon. A karmeus swooped out of nowhere at the girl, attempting to carry her off. As the claws sunk in, the girl began to burn, the mark of twilight raging from her forehead. After the girl incinerated the karmeus with a disk of burning light, the Wyld Hunt unleashed on the girl.


One night, a particularly ambitious cat burglary went awry and Adrios escaped by the skin of his teeth and only then by burning quite a bit of essence. A glimpse of his anima happened to be caught in passing by [[Yrminias]], who spent the next few weeks searching for Adrios.
As he watched the girl's flesh burn, the man who would become Regret felt the torrent of magic stir something within him, then the circle of night flared from his forehead as he, too, exalted. With the Wyld Hunt occupied, he managed to flee without detection, but the Immaculate Order soon realized that what had seemed "off" about their prediction was that it actually indicated the exaltation of two solars at the same place, not a single powerful one.


During these few weeks, Vravanu was abducted and held for ransom. Adrios took it upon himself to rescue her, but ended up being overpowered by two dozen guards. Fortunately, Yrminias had found him by then, and was tailing him. Seeing his capture, she went in to rescue him. Yrminias and Adrios escaped, but during the battle, Vravanu was fatally wounded, dying a few days later.
The Wyld Hunt tracked the man who would become Regret for over a year, an on-and-off chase culminating in Gem. Trapped and seriously wounded, the hunt's prey took the only path of escape available to him, through one of Gem's many small shadowlands and into the underworld. [[Carrionis]] soon found him and took him to his mistress.


Adrios was wracked with guilt, but Yrminias soothed him and convinced him to follow her. He swore allegiance to her and they left Nexus. After several days journey, the pair met [[Righteous Glimmer]]. Yrminas and Glimmer hit it off right away and, despite Adrios&rsquo; misgivings about Glimmer, Yrminas asked Glimmer swear allegiance to her, promising him power in return. Soon after this bargain was made, Yrminas began to feel a pull to the south.
Not predisposed towards Creation before he exalted, the new solar learned to truly despise it after a year of being tracked like an animal and shunned as anathema. By the time they reached the [[serves::Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears]], the solar had inherited some of Carrionis' zeal, particularly against the Empire.


Together, they uncovered a small demesne in the jungle. Lacking the knowledge of how to tap this demesne, they attuned to it, but have otherwise ignored it. As the journey has progressed, Adrios began to question whether he likes his companions or not. Righteous Glimmer always made him uncomfortable, but he began to realize how insane he actually was. Once he was dead and the circle defeated he and Yrminias, he took the offer the circle gave him to stay with them, pleased that they bargained with Yrminias to release him from his oath.
The solar spent two weeks in the Lover's company (and bed), being shown all the power of oblivion and its inevitable victory over life. By the end of it, he agreed to become her new deathnight. Though enthusiastic at first, after the Lover&rsquo;s Malfean lord accepted him, he began to suspect that he had been duped, and shown only certain aspects of the underworld. By the time he was cursing Creation within the Monstrance of Celestial Portion, he realized he had make a serious mistake. This realization, however, made him more angry at Creation, and he cursed all the more.
 
When the circle decided to leave the manse, Arios was happy to stay behind.


==Psyche==

==Goals==


Adrios would really like to live in a world that would just leave him alone. He knows this isn�t possible, though. At this point, he is really just trying to find his place in the universe. As such, he is open to a recruitment pitch from the players, should they make one.
As his name indicates, Regret hates his current state and wants to become a solar again. Failing that, he wants to get as far from his mistress and the Malfeans as possible. He currently thinks is best chance is to find a place that is neither creation nor the underworld.

Regret is an abyssal of the day caste played by Wordman in the Forgotten Suns campaign.

Personality

Though original confused, conflicted and indecisive, Regret's hatred of the Lover has given him more focus. He is, however, torn by the desire to embrace life again and the pull of his oath to the underworld.

Appearance

Looks like Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (Joseph Fiennes) in Elizabeth, with longer, straighter hair, and extremely pale skin.

History

Birth into a merchant family gave the boy who would become Regret of the Sun enough education and spare time to grow envious and resentful of his lack of social mobility. He joined the Imperial Post at a young age, due more to a desire to see the rest of the world than any patriotic feelings for an empire he considered far too rigid and petty. Soon after becoming known for his willingness to deliver into "barbarian" lands, he was secretly recruited as a courier by agents of House Iselsi. This eventually led him to create an expanded "side business" as an information broker.

With contacts in the Empire, the Scavenger Lands (particularly Nexus and Lookshy), the Guild and elsewhere, his services were in high demand. In spite of his success, he never found much more to respect about society outside the Empire than within.

After several deals involving the Immaculate Order, he became aware of a force of fifty dragon-blooded being assembled into a Wyld Hunt, supposedly due to a prediction that a powerful solar would exalt on an isolated, wooded road nearby, though with indications that something may be "off" in the prediction. Wanting to gather information on the capabilities of the dragon-blooded, he traveled secretly to the road and waited in hiding. The Wyld Hunt arrived silently one by one, setting up an ambush.

As the sun started to set, a local farm girl came down the road leading a manure wagon. A karmeus swooped out of nowhere at the girl, attempting to carry her off. As the claws sunk in, the girl began to burn, the mark of twilight raging from her forehead. After the girl incinerated the karmeus with a disk of burning light, the Wyld Hunt unleashed on the girl.

As he watched the girl's flesh burn, the man who would become Regret felt the torrent of magic stir something within him, then the circle of night flared from his forehead as he, too, exalted. With the Wyld Hunt occupied, he managed to flee without detection, but the Immaculate Order soon realized that what had seemed "off" about their prediction was that it actually indicated the exaltation of two solars at the same place, not a single powerful one.

The Wyld Hunt tracked the man who would become Regret for over a year, an on-and-off chase culminating in Gem. Trapped and seriously wounded, the hunt's prey took the only path of escape available to him, through one of Gem's many small shadowlands and into the underworld. Carrionis soon found him and took him to his mistress.

Not predisposed towards Creation before he exalted, the new solar learned to truly despise it after a year of being tracked like an animal and shunned as anathema. By the time they reached the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears, the solar had inherited some of Carrionis' zeal, particularly against the Empire.

The solar spent two weeks in the Lover's company (and bed), being shown all the power of oblivion and its inevitable victory over life. By the end of it, he agreed to become her new deathnight. Though enthusiastic at first, after the Lover’s Malfean lord accepted him, he began to suspect that he had been duped, and shown only certain aspects of the underworld. By the time he was cursing Creation within the Monstrance of Celestial Portion, he realized he had make a serious mistake. This realization, however, made him more angry at Creation, and he cursed all the more.

Goals

As his name indicates, Regret hates his current state and wants to become a solar again. Failing that, he wants to get as far from his mistress and the Malfeans as possible. He currently thinks is best chance is to find a place that is neither creation nor the underworld.
