Traveler

"Really, its fine. I can take care of myself."

-Honestly, I really wanted him to have light eyes since his eyes are kinda a really light amber, but the moment I saw this dragon I knew it had to be him.

-The one known simply as, the Traveler. Despite his long existence, he claims to only be human.
-Looks intimidating, with his scars and all, but is surprisingly kind. A bit awkward around people, which is why he mostly stays quiet. He's misunderstood as emotionless often because he doesn't show what he's thinking much.
-Prefers wearing clothing that lets him move easily, so he doesn't wear much armor. Most of his wardrobe keeps his back open. His cape is enchanted, and provides enough protection to not need much else.
-Very high body temperature, and sleeping next to him in the summer is actually hell. It's like having a furnace. A blessing in winter though.
-With his looks and mysterious past, it's little wonder that he's quite popular among the ladies (and a few men). He's never shown any such interest back, however (much to Morpheus' ire and relief).
-Carries a black-tipped sword that he's rarely seen using, despite the fact that he works as a bodyguard.
-True name is Varius, though the last one who knows is Morpheus.
-Travels with trading caravans, wandering nobles, etc. by working as a bodyguard and just tagging along with people who are going the same direction he wants to go.
-Doesn't like bothering others with his own troubles. Is the type to hide injuries and treat them himself.
-Tends to make friends out of people who try to kill him...?
Due to the fact that he can't die, he treats his own life with little care. He'd rather try and change someone's opinion of him, rather than needlessly waste a life. He can still feel pain though.

-Also known as Prince Varius, the Prince who disappeared many centuries ago.
-Killed a demon lord 500yrs ago, then discovered he could no longer die afterwards. Doesn't have any answers for how or why it happened, and hasn't discovered any new leads after 500 years, so he's pretty much given up.
-His end goal is to find a way to become mortal again, and be able to die. Morpheus is vehemently against it, and thinks the Traveler should just stay alive forever with Morpheus.
-His name and deeds are still recorded in history books, and there are ancient statues of him in places. But no one is likely to recognize him based off of those.
-Feels bad for having to kill Somil, and wishes there could have been another way. He gets why Somil went all genocidal, but couldn't let him rampage like that for any longer.
-Used to have frequent nightmares about killing Somil, but they just stopped happening at some point.
-The demons were in charge of keeping the World Tree safe. Their powers were granted to them specifically because they made a deal with the creator all those years ago; power and a home in exchange for keeping the lifesource of the world safe from any who'd harm it. The demon king was to be the strongest of the demons for that very reason, and would be the only one allowed to get near the World Tree. However, Somil completely lost his mind after his best friend was murdered. In his rampage, he burned part of the World Tree as well as destroyed the demon's home and several human villages. He was finally stopped by Varius, but the damage was already done. Due to the demon's not being able to keep their end of the deal, they were cast out and became wanderers; eventually disappearing among the human population. And shadowy, twisted creatures started popping up...unable to be killed, and only able to be driven off by the strong. Eventually, Ayase sent down his messengers to make up for the slack the damaged World Tree could not keep up with and rumors of "beings made of light" started to circulate as they were spotted killing the Shadows.
