Background: The Tehtierzech family have been traders since the first age - an ancient family of merchants and traders (and some whisper, theives and killers). They've found a modicum of exceptance in the Dynastic courts, living happily spread out across the earth.
Alek was one of 5 boys in this clan's generation - and barely the oldest, by little more than a few days. He was, unlike many of his brothers, a very vibrant youth. He was always one for getting into fights, never able to seem to keep calm. He had a talent for combat (well, rather, making others look like fools in combat and occasionally hitting them), his hot head only slated him for a role in the Vermillion Leigon, if that.
Alek's exaltation came as sudden suprise. It was known that he had been seeking out a tutor at the time, and that he hadn't been heard from in months. When he returned, he was something...more. Tempers flared, arguments around the house abounded - and Alek set out, following his mentor.
Things haven't been quite the same since...
Commentary
Typically, the 'anima' bit at the top of a character sheet is where you write a desc of a character's iconic anima, wheras 'anima effects' somewhere near the bottom left, is where you write what he can do due to caste-based anima powers. Still, a quick-ref such as this fits better with all the stats, and you could include a desc of the anima along with his physical description if you're going to write one.
