- Male
His younger sister was far superior to him at buisness matters, but Keanin was expected to manage that due to traditions of the place they were located. Mother was unwilling to break tradition, but also clearly knew he would be unable to run the family successfully when compared to his sister. And, if his sister managed the business anyway, he feared that other people within the political and aristocratic world would judge his family harshly for it.
Despite his family being overall well-meaning, it led to tension between them, with seemingly no solution that benefitted everyone. His mother in particular clearly wanted the best for him, but couldn't bring herself to disregard the traditions she had been raised with.
This resulted in an argument amongst himself, his sister, and his mother. He decided he couldn't handle the pressure of his family's traditions and expections, and decided to leave. He left the same day, with no resolution to the argument.
Since then, roughly two years, he has been a wandering bard, playing at taverns and other various places in order to grow accustomed to the free lifestyle he now leads. He has not contacted his family since, and does not know what they think of him.
Appearance
Mentality
Education
Well educated (raised noble).
Knows the inner-workings of the politics of the region, and knows vaguely of the situations of other continents and countries.
Not good at arithmatic however.
Language knowledge is above average
History & geography knowledge is well above average
Knowledge of magic is average, not counting the bard stuff
Employment
One-off performances of music for small pay.
Mental Trauma
Despite no longer being noble nor needing to follow traditions, still will constantly find himself unable to fully separate himself from them.
He also isn't fully happy with himself. Essentially, was raised to follow traditions, hated that, over-compensated by completely rejecting his former life, but he doesn't actually hate everything about it; perhaps after some time may relax a little, and be able to view things in a more balanced way.
Intellectual Characteristics
Has strong knowledge about music.
Also has an in-depth understanding of politics across the world, much to his own dismay. He considers this information useless.
Morality & Philosophy
Freedom above all else.
Hatred of traditions and the status quo, as well as politics and other similar things.
person.sexuality
Currently has no interest in any form of relationship, too busy discovering himself, travelling, and also he doesn't currently have any friends. Bad time for romance.
Years down the line, he'd probably be happy with anyone as long as they were friends prior to a relationship.
person.gender_identity
Pretty much just a guy. Not particularly masculine, but he doesn't consider that to be a big deal due to a few factors (half-elf, grew up with his sister & mother but no father, dislikes traditions, is a bard and doesn't need physical strength.)
Known Languages
Definitely knows the human language (or common, not sure what it's called)
Elvish absolutely
Probably a bit of dwarven language, and a smattering of others (had a noble education, he'd know this stuff surely.)
Personality
Motivation
For living & life in general? A vague notion to find out more about himself and his place in the world. He's a bit lacking in motivation.
For joining the party? Not sure yet (campaign hasn't started!) but probably similar. He wants to know what he can actually do, but is held back by his bias against traditions and responsibilities, so struggles to find his "purpose" because he doesn't want to feel forced to contribute.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
No idea what this category means btw
For savvies, he knows music i guess?
for ineptitudes. hand him a puzzle, ancient runes, etc etc, he will die before he solves it (unless it's music based)
Likes & Dislikes
FOODS
Likes sweet stuff, favourite meals would be pasta dishes and fruit.
Would likely dislike mushrooms and heavy meat based dishes.
MUSIC
I think his favourite kind of music would be classical, high art stuff, but would pretend it isn't (doesn't want it to be obvious he's raised noble)
Probably wouldn't like purcussion heavy songs.
Virtues & Personality perks
He speaks honestly, and doesn't hesitate to compliment someone if he truly believes what he says.
An attentive listener. Gives actual advice, not platitudes.
Interested in the world in general, not very nihilitic.
He lives life how he genuinely wants to, and refuses to bend to other's wills. Stays firm in his beliefs.
Vices & Personality flaws
Speaks honestly. Absolutely refuses to lie or try to make people feel better. Can't be diplomatic with people he dislikes, even to save his life.
Strong bias against traditions, responsibilities, and any person he deems to uphold those things.
Due to saying things "how he sees them", he tends to be quite judgemental. He's normally accurate in what he thinks, but not always.
Doesn't back down from arguments if he thinks he's correct.
Personality Quirks
Can literally listen to people talk for hours, especially new people.
Has a genuine joy of travelling; enthusiastic about vising new places.
Gestures dramatically with his hands and expression while talking. An enthusaistic speaker.
Hygiene
Definitely has good hygiene.
The major events and journals in Keanin's history, from the beginning to today.
The list of amazing people following the adventures of Keanin.
Social
Contacts & Relations
Hasn't spoken to family in two years.
Wealth & Financial state
Survives on very little.
Had an incident in the past, where after leaving his family, he ran out of money very quickly after realising he had no idea how to save money. Was dangerously broke for a while, starving, without any idea what to do. Finally got back on his feet after a while (and learning that he has to actually work for money) and now is decent at managing his funds,
Religious Views
leaving this blank for now, im not certain if the world of the campaign has religions, gods, etc etc, so ill wait for that to decide.
Social Aptitude
Very social, good at managing a crowd.
Mannerisms
Moves his hands while talking.
Covers his mouth when laughing, yawning, or talking whilst eating. Habit from being raised nobly.
Sometimes refers to people with honorifics, such as "sir", "miss", "dear", etc.
Hobbies & Pets
Didn't ever own a pet, and is somewhat uneasy around animals due to this.
He enjoys doing origami.
Also enjoys embroidery. Always has some with him.
Speech
Tends to speak clearly and emphatically.
He tries to not sound "noble" but doesn't always manage it.
