Having spent his entire childhood growing up in an orphanage, Eiden has little interest in the notion of traditional family life. On entering high school, he took on several part-time jobs where he cultivated a strong and unapologetic sense of independence. At the same time, he was able to maintain a kind of youthful optimism, always willing to seize the day and live purely for the moment. He might be both logical and level-headed, but he always keeps an open-mind, willing to accept others for who they really are.
It was during Eiden's adolescent years that he first came to terms with his sexuality, engaging in several on again off again relationships. Although extremely versatile in the bedroom, his relationships would often end due to reasons such as differing plans for the future or simply having drifted too far apart. At the age of 23, Eiden embarked on a career in sex toy design, but due to his ever increasing workload he began to neglect his emotional and physical needs.
Then, while working late one night, he encounters a neon gemstone fragment belonging to an important client and is suddenly thrust into a parallel world. The people in this new world tell him he's a descendant of a mysterious figure named Huey. After learning of the elemental gemstones and how their powers are waning, he somewhat reluctantly sets out on a journey to restore power to the gemstones and find a way back home. In this new land, known as the "Klein Continent", it doesn't take long for Eiden to strike up several strong and very "intimate" partnerships...
Eiden is 176 cm tall, has brown hair, and brown eyes. His Neon Gemstone is attached to a string that he wears as a necklace.
His special skills are art and design. He likes sex toys and creative thinking.
Eiden is an open-minded and optimistic person with a strong and unapologetic sense of independence. He is always willing to seize the day and live purely in the moment. He possesses exceptional insight that lets him easily understand people's moods, and often assumes responsibility for creating the atmosphere in any group he is in.
Eiden is also very good at taking care of others. However, since Eiden can easily get carried away with caring for others, he has a habit of hiding his own fragility, which leads him to ignore his own true feelings.
Eiden's erogenous zones is his lower abdomen, and his favourite place in Aster's mansion is his room. When Eiden showers, he starts with his hair first, before washing "the part rich in essence".
Despite possessing a large amount of essence, Eiden is unable to use magic. However, his gemstone naturally attracts members of the Sorcerer's Clan
Eiden was an orphan, and grew up in an orphanage throughout his childhood. Eiden was said to have a penchant for mischief often seen in boys his age. However, Eiden would also show a maturer, more rebellious side from time to time. While he may have been a handful for the orphanage staff, his sensitive considerate nature would always shine through in the end. Due to his childhood in the orphanage, Eiden has a bright personality and a strong belief in having fun and living for the moment.
When he was 15, he has a bitter first love and subsequent partners were all short term. After starting high school, he took on several part-time jobs, helping him to cultivate a strong and unapologetic sense of independence. He also gradually spent less time at the orphanage. At the age of 23, Eiden started a full-time career. However, despite landing his dream job at a prestigious sex toy company, Peak of Pleasure, the heavy workload and long hours soon took their toll on him.
Having come to terms with his sexuality early on in life, Eiden later engages in several on-again-off-again relationships. Although highly versatile in the bedroom, his relationships would often end due to reasons such as differing plans for the future or drifting too far apart. Despite having an open mind and strong sex drive, his ever-increasing workload caused him to neglect his physical and emotional needs.
