Aiden Pereira

The mind behind Crystal Constructs.

Banner by Terry-Lynn L and Crimz!

A fortuitous day indeed. Thought I had ruined my chances of studying the properties of an abandoned water shoni crystals when I magnificently (i.e., like an ass) dropped my hard won prize into a lake. Surely, the very Gods laughed at my misfortune as I watched it sink beneath the gentle waves. I had all but given up hope, and was beginning to attempt to plan a petition to Lisroe City for additional funding when something entirely unexpected occurred.
The crystal rose from the depths, crude arms and legs made entirely of water surrounding it. It reached out to me, as if it were a curious child. I, of course, grabbed for the stone. Surely this was some mischevious water shoni sprite, offering my stone back and playing a trick. To my shock, the 'limbs' as they were were well and truly connected to the stone. Once I removed it from the water, the limbs lost their form. I have stumbled upon something here. I must continue my research.

— An excerpt from Aiden's journal, detailing the discovery of Crystal Constructs.

Aiden Pereira is the creator of the autonomous constructs known as Crystal Constructs. A turn of what appeared to be bad luck turned out to be the start of a momentous discovery. It took years of additional research before Aiden was able to recreate his discovery with an iota of success. He found that the crystal needed to be within the element it had been previously aligned with in order to form the rudimentary limbs he had observed. As his research progressed, he developed spheres inlaid with intricate runes to house the shoni crystals. This allowed the limbs to be created when ordered rather than at random.
Once his Constructs were perfected, Aiden went public with his creations. Now Constructs can be seen almost anywhere in Tarin, though most are still made in his hometown of Lisroe City.
