Per­son­al­ity

Tsuki is relaxed, happy, opti­mistic and care­free. His life up to now has been peace­ful and idyl­lic, but his sense of adven­ture has often led him do dis­cover places futher afield than the area around his vil­lage. Naivete, irre­spon­si­bil­ity and con­tin­u­ally under­es­ti­mat­ing dan­ger would be his weak­nesses, along with being far too trusting.

Attire

What once were proper-length trousers and tunic now resem­ble shorts and a vest through hav­ing been torn so much, and through the mate­r­ial being used for other things. Both have been heav­ily stained with mud over the years. Tsuki also uses a piece of rope as a belt, and wears a small crys­tal pen­dant — the only part of his attire that might once have looked nice — around his neck.

Back­ground

For as long as he knows, Tsuki has lived in the vil­lage of Arca­dia on the Alseid Plains. Here, he was raised by his adop­tive mother, Lorena, with whom he still lives, although these days he fre­quently embarks on adven­tures away from home for days at a time.

Tsuki grew up with two friends of about his age, Marea and Kalari. The three of them were all adven­tur­ous as chi­dren, and often used to play in the woods to the east of the vil­lage, and that place is still spe­cial to them even now.

All three were edu­cated in the sim­ple and prac­ti­cal way. Most of this would have included being taught how to farm, cook, hunt, or what­ever it was that their par­ents’ jobs were. The basics of read­ing and writ­ing, along with lore, his­tory, and so on were taught by the vil­lage elder, Thialnir.

Along­side his sword danc­ing, with which he often enter­tains at fes­ti­vals, Tsuki’s main hobby is cook­ing and bak­ing. A fair amount of nat­ural tal­ent and both his mother’s and Suto’s expe­ri­ence, plus his own lik­ing of food has led him to be fairly suc­cess­ful here and if life being one big adven­ture fails him, he’d like to cook as a job.

The Arca­dian tra­di­tion is that once a young per­son fin­ishes what edu­ca­tion the vil­lagers can give, he or she has a year and a day of free­dom, to expe­ri­ence what they want of the world, to find out what life can hold for them. After this time, they are nor­mally expected to set­tle down, decide on how they will live their life, and do it. For Tsuki, it has now been rather longer than a year, and he still shows no sign of giv­ing up his intense desire for adven­ture. Secretly, most of the vil­lagers prob­a­bly excuse this away because of his father­less upbring­ing, and feel sorry for him. Or per­haps they just realise that if he set­tles down he won’t always be around to help out…
