Mental characteristics
Personal history
As a child, Altan had a nice quiet life with his mother, father, and sibling on one of the many islands. Then the Cult of the Dragon eventually got to the island they were residing on and decimated his hometown. Altan’s parents died holding back the cult as him and his sibling made it onto an escape ship. The ship was taken down by the hostile fleet and everyone on board was sent into the water. This split them up, and Altan never saw them again.
Altan then awoke inside of a monastery. Monks found him washed ashore unconscious and nursed him back to health. While Altan wished to go back out to sea, he was only a child. He was too weak to go alone now. Instead, Altan trained with the local monks who taught him the Way of the Ascendant Dragon until he was a fully capable and wise adult.
Overtime, he found his peace there, and suppressed his urge for revenge. But when news came that the Cult of the Dragon may be heading back to the islands for another assault, Altan knew he had to protect his monastery and his new family, volunteering to find a way to stop the cult.
