He has little patience for posturing or pretending, and does not care to give his respect to someone he does not see as having earned it. As for how to earn it? Do not pretend to be someone you are not and do not expect things from others when you yourself give nothing. So... mostly he respects animals. Despite his attitude, Keannan possesses an inquisitive mind, a kind heart, and a genuine desire to better himself - and if he needs to humble himself to do that, he'll do it. He still has much to learn, after all, and his life has been longer than most. [/indent] [/indent] [indent][b]Background[/b] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔[/sup] [indent] Some people have a picture of elves in their head. Proud. Noble. [i]Regal[/i], even. Practically perfect in every way. Never making mistakes. Everything they do is what they intended to. Most of the people who hold this ideal [i]are[/i] elves. And anyone who doesn't meet this standard - well, they're troublemakers. Miscreants. They don't belong in polite society. That has been Keannan's experience, at least. Someone who didn’t fit the mould. Who didn’t care for 'perfection' or 'politeness'. Who rejected the idea of it. And took joy in disrupting the sensitive sensibilities of those who found discomfort in his very existence. But he was hardly ninety at the time, and eventually, being rejected by the very people you surround yourself with... eventually, you'll break and lash out. Which is exactly what Keannan did. As a more juvenile elf, he could not be punished as a full adult. Notes on the rest of this; - Keannan was sent to a druid circle to study under one of its masters - Typical resilient mentor story. No matter what Keannan did, the master did not give up on him, and taught Keannan not just about druidcraft, but about the natural world, the order of things, how to manage his anger - and how to deal with particularly annoying peers. - He also taught Keannan the value of life - what it means to have it, and what it means to take it, be it in a form of combat, or as a hunter searching for food. This is why Keannan carries a wolf fang on a leather cord around his neck - a memento of this exact lesson (and also, it came from the background items, 'a trophy from an animal you have killed', so). - Related note - Keannan still hunts and eats meat, that sort of thing. He respects life, and what it means to take it. So when he kills an animal, he does his best to be respectful, does not prolong its suffering, and tries to calm it, if he can. Which is sometimes an ordeal, given he can understand the thoughts and emotions of animals. Things I haven't pinned down: - What, exactly, Keannan did to get himself 'socially excommunicated' from his home. - Who his master is (though likely an elf?), and what has happened in the fifty or so years between then and now that Keannan is no longer at their side, under their tutelage.
