Orym (often called Rusty by those who know him) is a former noble knight whose soul has been trapped within his armor for over a century. He now serves as a monk and guardian near Eldoria's Crystal, protecting it from threats while seeking to understand his own fragmented existence.

Background and Story Arc

Orym was once a renowned knight of Eldoria. Approximately 100 years ago, during the last recorded Mana Break, a powerful curse trapped his soul within his armor while his physical body vanished.

Post-Curse Life

Confined to remain near the Crystal, Orym has adapted to his timeless existence. He discovered that the monastic path—focused on meditation, discipline, and spiritual connection—allowed him to better understand and protect the Crystal's energy than knighthood ever did.

  • Soul Anchor: Orym learned that his current state is due to a missing part of his soul known as the "Soul Anchor," which vanished with his body. This anchor connects a soul to the mortal plane, and without it, he cannot pass on to the Beyond.
  • Motivation: His primary goal shifted from reclaiming his body to finding his Soul Anchor, hoping it will allow him to finally rest—or choose to remain.

Character Arc: The Anchored Soul

Orym's journey leads him to discover his long-lost, decayed body and Soul Anchor. He faces a solemn choice: pass on immediately or stay a while longer in his armored form.

  • Thematically: His arc explores purpose beyond life, the search for wholeness, and finding peace in impermanence.

Personality and Traits

Orym is a quiet, introspective soul burdened by fragmented memories yet guided by an unwavering sense of duty.
