Ledaal Kebok Senan

Who He Is

The child of two extremely powerful Dragon Blooded, Ledaal Kebok Senan was raised as a consumate son of the Realm. Unlike many such children, the pressure on him to Exalt was not so great--he had two older brothers and an older sister, all of whom had been blessed by the Dragons. It would be unthinkable for another child to Exalt, especially one born so soon--but the blood of Senan's parents was stronger than anyone had imagined. Senan found himself torn from his quiet life as an incipient scribe and set on the path of a Prince of the Earth...something he did not entirely welcome.

Personality

Senan spent most of his childhood in the company of his tutor or, very occasionally, his siblings. He rarely saw his mother and father outside of the formal gatherings they hosted to present their children. As such, while Senan knows how to behave in a formal situation, his behavior in casual situations is somewhat lacking. He is comfortable with silence, and can let a conversation slip if he isn't paying attention. He also is extremely nervous around pretty girls, and tends to stutter when he tries to talk to them.

Calm and easy-going are good words to describe his personality. Having Exalted, he only has one real driving goal--to become a great sorcerer like his Grandfather. Everything else...well, he'll get to it eventually, when it's time. He tends to be very compassionate, though he doesn't usually have an overt way of showing it. A quiet word or leaving candies under their pillow is more his style.

He also fights like a river dragon when cornered. He managed to break his brother's arm once when he lashed out against his brother's (familial) abuse, even though his brother was Exalted at the time. His brother has long since forgiven him, and uses the incident as yet another way to rib Senan. His temper is like the winter winds--a gentle breeze until it turns into a bone-chilling blast.

Appearance

Senan is beautiful, though he is not aware of the full implications of that. He has a long fall of snow-white hair and eyes the color of a summer day, set in a face that has already served as the inspiration for several paintings. He is not physically imposing, being rather short for a Dragon Blood (5'8"), but he is nonetheless memorable. The blood of the Elemental Dragons runs incredibly strong in him--on any but the hottest of days, his breath is visible as mist in the air, and when he is emotional small winds swirl around his body.

• Ledaal Senan's Character Sheet

Family History

Senan's Father\\ Service to the Realm (+1 to bureaucrats)\\ Senan’s father Namen is famous for service to the realm. He aided in a Wyld Hunt while away on business in the scavenger lands. An Exalt appeared in the city, and instead of letting the Hunt find it (and they were definitely looking for it in the city) he spotted it and killed it himself.

Senan's Cousin\\ Religious Devotion (+1 to priests)\\ His cousin Keshak is famous for his religious devotion. He has been in the service of the Immaculate Order for over a century, though he is an instructor and philosopher primarily, not a fighter.

Senan's Grandfather\\ Sorcery (+1 Intimidation to scholars)\\ His grandfather Manetav was one of the fastest studies in the Heptagram. He is a very successful sorcerer, and the array of spells he knows is said to be one of the largest of any living Terrestrial.

Senan's Aunt\\ Violence (+1 Intimidation to soldiers)\\ His aunt Mina married into house Mnemon, but shortly after her wedding night she slaughtered her husband. The marriage was arranged—Mina never really liked Mnemon Bashar, and after he laid down the law on their wedding night, her dislike turned to hate. Soon after the murder, she was put on the block for her crime.
