Bio
Dear Mr Curly,
I have done little travelling lately because I have been so dreadfully weary. Can it be true as the old Ecclesiastes said; that all things lead to weariness? Surely not. Perhaps the opposite is true: that all nothings lead to weariness. I have a peculiar feeling, Curly, that I am worn out from something I haven't yet done and the more I don't do it, the more exhausted I become. How strange. Could it be something I haven't realised? Perhaps it's something I haven't said? Something I haven't finished! It must be very large and true whatever it is and a lively struggle in the doing but I look forward to it immensely. I know I need it. First, however, I must curl up in my chair and sleep deeply with the duck. Perhaps I'll dream of this thing and wake up refreshed and do it. My fond wishes to you Mr. Curly, and to all Curly Flat.
Yours sleepily,
Vasco Pyjama

P.S. Not having breakfast can make you weary. That's for sure!

@Double Capybara Sounds legit to me. I guess the next step is GM approval, unless there are any further adjustments to make.
<Snipped quote by Muttonhawk>
That is an excellent idea but I don't know how to properly implement it/word it in the sheet itself. He would view it as a flaw given to him from Ill, given her portfolio for aesthetics, but it isn't like there would be anything he could do about it.
It doesn't necessarily have to be something he sees as a flaw or even something that he's aware of. Stew on it in the meantime for Double Capybara to give opinions and you might come up with something.
Edit: Ninja'd by wall of text.
Alignment doesn't matter for anything except an at-a-glance look at inclinations. Personal objectives and views on a closer level are much more defining.
Also the wiki is very much in alpha stages. Very incomplete.
No probs, brocules.
I think Capy is a better person to provide suggestions. I can only say through my interpretation that Ilunabar is particularly interested in keeping things vibrant, interesting, and constantly developing. This can run counter to brutal efficiency, but not all the time. Ilunabar can be rather aloof, proud, and sure of herself from what I've read, though she is not beyond kindness and fear. If you find posts where she is interacting with her divas or Teknall, that might give you some inspiration.
The only solid thing I can think of is for the whole raw improvement thing to be compromised occasionally when something aesthetically or culturally interesting comes out of war. I mean, come on, who doesn't think that a Roman legion in formation doesn't look beautiful sometimes?
That is part of the reason I had given him so that trait since it was one that would reflect one of his "parents" (not sure which process you two will go about hence the quotation marks) and worked well with the demigod I was creating. I just wasn't sure which traits of Ill would work well with everything else, if you or Capy have any suggestions on that front I would love to hear them.

@Malchivo It's looking alright so far.
I reckon the personality section is a good candidate to elaborate on, now that you ask. Does Thacel have temperaments and behaviours with other people? Is he a cold and stone-faced individual or passionate with some things? It's good to explain his morality and his limits, but I can't really tell what he's like to interact with.
The whole deep analysis of war for the sake of improving is very Toun-like, which I think is fitting given your selected fatherhood. I like that. If there are Ilunabar-like traits he has inherited, that might also be a good way to flesh out the personality section, or even some other parts as well.
The only other question I really have at the moment is regarding consideration -- you might want to keep your answer secret from us, and that's fine. Does he have reasons for going out and documenting war strategy? It's not a huge thing. I mean, many characters do what they do because Fate said so at the beginning and they went 'Meh, okay.'
Anyway, I like the effort put in! It's a good thing you read the rules ;)

Y tho? Are you expecting us to destroy Kyre with Elvish?
I had Kyre as an element in mind to involve with the birth but I was going to reserve the exact hows and whats until the new CS is done.
Turns out that Toun has been observing most of the demis for a while now. He has been observing that they have been popping up with similar domains and portfolios as dead gods, so it stands to reason that he could connect the dots with Kyre and a new war entity, or perhaps instigate Kyre's replacement or rebirth or somesuch.

Lunise's grip on the saddlebag tightened and her shoulders rose in a slow, tense breath. She spoke surprisingly gently, holding back. "I have worked too hard ensuring the stability of the continent, working in the interests of my nation, to let it all be cast aside in the space of moments. Areldril, you are not absolved until I have made up my mind." She straightened. "For now, Meesei, Areldril, I will not interrupt your conversation."
Meanwhile, the pack felt various shivers as some recalled the memory of their last encounter with Vile's apparent general. Sabine in particular swallowed hard when the image of Meesei's broken body came into her mind. As well as Peiter's arm getting caught under masonry.
"We have encountered him before," Janius mentioned with a foreboding tone. "Or, rather, Meesei has. We won't underestimate him."
Fendros cleared his throat. "You have heard their communications. Does that mean you know where to find the general?"

@Malchivo I'd be down for it. We can work out specifics and begin to work on your characters birth once the character sheet is there.
Hey, Just because Toun's not been much around Alefpria, doesn't mean he's that isolated. I mean, just look at all the stalking he's been doing! That's outdoor work!
