Morality & Philosophy

Hold semi nihilistic views towards the world but sees it as a freedom to enjoy the everyday without the pressure of a grand scheme

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Terrance is motivated by the quest for inspiration. He believes the bigger the quest the better the poem to come

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Isn't great at knowing when to hold his tongue often speaking out of turn

Likes & Dislikes

He likes a good poem of course and a dark cup of coffee. He likes warm nights around the fire and the cosy feeling of a old inn. One of his closest friends and allies is Saal Mubarak who his family bought for his protection. Although Terrance doesn't agree with the prospect of slavery he doesn't think it would be right to leave Saal without a home or work in such a cruel world. Of course if Saal ever wanted to go he would be free but the two get along so well he hopes that day never comes

Can be prone to insulting people accidently and won't often let a wounded pride go. His vice can often be his love of the written word and he can be known to pay any price for a book he has his mind set on.

Hygiene

Well kept in clothes and person as would suit a nobleman.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Robert Malefance, Terrance's father is by far one of his most powerful connections and although he keeps a generous amount of gold in Terrance's accounts, Terrance's following in his mother's artist foot steps has always been a sore spot between them.   His father isn't his only powerful contact though as the Order of Grand Poets offers a great network of fantastic writers   Argueably his most powerful of contacts is his patron, a strange outer being, a great old one from times beyond and before who's far reaching grasp is beyond mortal comprehension

Family Ties

The Malefance house

Religious Views

He understands the power that religions and god's control but doesn't spare much thought for the gods, thinking them aloof and as flawed as the rest of us. Importantly he doesn't view his patron as a god, only as some powerful being.

Social Aptitude

Terrance, being a trained orator, is skilled in the dance that is social interactions. He is often able to smooth talk and silver tongue him self and Saal in and out of trouble.

Speech

Smooth and confident, very well enunciated with a proper accent that he carries over to most languages.

Wealth & Financial state

His exact wealth is difficult to put a number to as his position and name would afford him an affluent life no matter the situation

Son of a rich noble, masterful orator and budding adventurer
