=History=
 
 
Blivon's family had decent rapport with the house of LeBlue, and through these connections, he befriended Artemis early on. When she went off to the academy, he was transferred to Orbonne, despite having wished he'd spoken of the flame he held for her, but instead, he sought to become purged of his impurity so that he could live a more just life, treating all as equals. Seeing through the fabricated tapestry placed before his vision, the church tried to silence him, by grossly exaggerating horrid portrayals of his deeds so that they resembled sacrilege; a trial then ensued. Fleeing before sentence, in the knowledge that the proceedings were rigged from the start, he was aided by an order of druids who dwelt quietly within the forests, where they could not so easily be oppressed or abolished by decree of the High Confessor, until Blivon became illuminated to the ways of wood, stream, and stone, endowing him with new wisdom paired up with abilities that would allow him to help heal the wounds of the world, if providence saw fit to shine upon him.
 
 
=Personality=
 
 
Poised and acceptant towards the world at large, for the most part, one thing Blivon tries to do is to steer his environment into a direction that is less geared towards eternal suffering. He still possesses enthusiasm, as well as the other kinds of sensitivities that others have, albeit on a significantly weaker scale. Blivon has a universal tolerance towards all people, in that he'll refrain from dealing harm to them if at all possible, preferring, instead, to defend or heal until he is devoid of all reserve strength to continue to resist bombardment. Although he's incredibly fatalistic, he simultaneously endorses intervention in the activities of the surrounding world, in the hopes that balance is achievable, and that his compulsions will make a difference in the long run, even if he's not entirely sure he's consciously making many decisions. As a shaman, he has a strong proclivity towards spirituality, and though he doesn't embrace too many specific subsets within his denomination, leaving him with a very vague ideology, he feels that in its emptiness, therein contains the expansiveness that can more easily adhere to the reality. That said, he tries to be optimistic, since he feels that the things he feels or acknowledges as truth are inescapable, but also, destined to be temporal, and he cannot account for the future in depth, meaning that it serves little purpose to fret or agonize over what may never come to pass. Contradictorily, he still puts forth a lot of effort to prepare for the worst-case scenario, in defiance of the fact that he doesn't actually /expect/ things to go well, or perhaps poorly. Regardless of all this, he still indulges every so often in worldly pleasures, very scarcely, but only at the behest of another's insistence, since abstinence is his general attitude towards gratification; his belief is that decadence and addiction go hand in hand with even just the subtlest of extravagance. One of the only things he allows himself to be attached to, is the advocation of the continued health of Artemis... but, beyond her, he's almost totally egalitarian towards all those across whose path he treads.
 
 
 
Philosophical Standpoint
 
 
As a result of believing that all things are inherently part of one another, because he subscribes to the ripple effect, Blivon is somewhat devoid of the kind of extremity of emotional impulsivity seen in other entities. His view is that only by virtue of the restriction of one's sensations as it applies to one's perception of where their form begins, or ends, that the actuality of one's physical composition is arbitrary, ergo, those forms which one is numb to, aren't necessarily negated as being an extension of oneself. With it being in mind that the cessation of one thing and the generation of the next both being completely tentative, in his view, there's little reason to harbor extreme prejudice for or against anyone else, therefore, negative emotions such as fear, hate, or envy, have a weak grip over his psychosis. On the other hand, he tries not to get too entrenched in the positive, as well, for fear of it being thereby being deprived, thus resulting in said negative emotions. Blivon does indeed still feel pain and pleasure, though, he doesn't attribute these phenomena to his 'true self', although he still has the notion of his existence being legitimate somewhat ingrained in his mind, since he's still a newcomer to the particular order of druidic teachings to which he's affiliated himself. For the reasons listed, it's virtually impossible to dissuade him using intimidatory methods, but on exceedingly rare occasions, promissory media may persuade him to act against his better judgement- the odds of this transpiring are still astronomically unfavorable.
 
 
 
=Abilities=
 
 
As a therapist, a lot of Blivon's powers are not incredibly applicable, because he's geared towards counseling, not crippling. His focal point as far as abilities go will be his guidance in spiritual/psychological matters. Rarely, he may appear in TPs and do battle, but for the most part, seeing that he never attacked anyone since his arrival on Final Kingdom, I've decided to make him less combat-oriented, and more centered around inter-personals and socially viable situations. Make peace, not war!
