Personality
Background
Born in Lynev and trained by the Mayeea Espandes, Vaelin was steeped in magical academia from a young age. After the Great Sleep, he found himself traveling towards Halcystor, reluctantly contributing his expertise to a fractured world that never asked for his opinion but keeps needing his help.
Ideals
Knowledge should be used, not just preserved. Magic is a tool to shape outcomes, not admire passively. Truth matters more than comfort.
Mannerisms
Raises an eyebrow when someone says something foolish. Tends to mutter corrections under his breath. Stirs tea clockwise when thinking. Smirks before asking questions he already knows the answer to.
Goals
Short term: survive the spider apocalypse. Long term: establish a respected magical institute that does not confuse tradition with competence. If he earns a footnote in history along the way, even better.
Flaws
Uses sarcasm as a shield. Struggles to connect emotionally when things turn serious. Often explains instead of empathizing. Knows this, still working on it.
Fears
Being irrelevant. Watching the world unravel while holding the solution too late. Becoming the kind of wizard who teaches theory but never acts.
