Height: 5 ft 10 Personality and Abilities How would your character respond to experiencing Fear? Ennulai would often become angry and unreasonable as an immediate response to fear - especially a less tangible and more long-term sort of fear. In practical situations he will tend to swallow his fear as best he can, exhibiting only the physical reactions - trembling hands, paling of face, etc. In situations where he is truly terrified, and a practical response will not yield any results, he will likely plead quietly as opposed to bargain or threaten. How would your character respond to experiencing Stress? Ennulai is very rarely overly stressed. When he does feel stressed, he will often turn to meditation and a greater degree of isolation, thinking over his problems rationally and trying his best to remain relaxed. How would your character express feeling Happy? In a fairly standard way - he becomes a bit louder, a bit more open and a bit less restrained. His speech can appear a little worse, because he doesn’t take so long to think about the words he is using, but he will pause less. He could be described as more boisterous when happy. How does your character view Law and Authorities? Ennulai sees law and authority through a fairly Maraya-unique lens; he sees them as a quaint oddity for the most part, and finds the legal systems of other races fascinating in their propensity for corruption and injustice. As far as authorities in general go, he doesn’t particularly enjoy taking orders or being told what to do - he naturally fits into a leadership or individual role and doesn’t like to be restricted too much. How does your character feel about Races other than their own? In general, Ennulai finds the diversity of mindset throughout Aloria as a result of race fascinating, and is so caught up in his internal analysis that he doesn’t favour any one of them normally aside from in a purely practical sense. He does advocate for Marayan preference of Maraya over others due to his strictly progress-oriented mindset, but he isn’t hateful in general. The only one which he dislikes inherently is the Kathar, under which he commonly groups the Haat-Maraya. He despises the Haat-Maraya to such a degree that he doesn’t like to class them as Maraya at all, simply calling them Haat -- though he hides his motivation behind analysis. How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths? Ennulai isn’t drawn to the concept of religion as most races know it, but he does buy into a worldview that could be considered religious - a mixmatch of very traditional Ka-Maraya customs and values along with various aspects of Altalar and other cultural traditions and views from across Aloria. This is not a philosophy of his own invention, but one that he has picked up from a rather conservative group of Ka-Maraya scholars in the Home Swarm. As regards other faiths, he largely sees them as cultural and social constructions and often easily linked back to a particularly non-divine originator. He sees the majority of people who do worship the major faiths as simply misled, though he wouldn’t ever say it to their faces. How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world? Ennulai adores magic, believing it to be highly stylish and practical. Similarly to an Altalar, he tends to view Mages in higher esteem than others. That said, he is aware of the Void Invasion Cycle, and while he does enjoy the effects of magic in the moment, he keeps a close eye on the power levels of mages in the long-term. How does your character feel towards their family? Ennulai is very close with his family. His own parents reside in the home swarm still, as does his great grandfather, and he sees them rarely but does hold a very strong bond with them. What is your character's biggest insecurity? His language and speech in common. Despite being an extremely eloquent speaker given common is his second language, he is quite insecure about the small mistakes he occasionally makes where grammar is concerned; for this reason, he writes all official documents, essays and letters in Shalota and has them translated if necessary. What is your character the most proud of about themselves? Likely the number of papers attributed to him, and the number of books with his name on the spine. He takes great pride in his works of writing. What motivates your character to move forward and better their life? A set of ideals within his traditional worldview which includes direct advice to better yourself and your immediate group as a means to escape suffering in the long-term. Ennulai’s main motivation is to develop the Marayan mindset and create a good life for his children (as a result, partially). What is your character's biggest fear? The death of his children or partner. More realistically, the exile of Maraya from Regalian territories -- this would be a massive setback to Ennulai’s goals on every level. Life Story Born on the Tohnsa-Ka-Maraya into an extremely conservative, pro-Maraya family. Grew up with the traditional retake the world from the lesser scum narrative but evolved out of it as he reached the age of 30. Began his career as a wrestler first and scholar second, being taught by his father to fight hand-to-hand and being taught by his great great great aunt in the ways of traditional Ka-Maraya critical writing and penmanship. He didn’t really enjoy the latter due to how (expectedly) boring it was, and so into his early adulthood he pursued physical combat more than anything else. Had a fairly uneventful life due to his confinement to the Home Swarm until his early twenties, when he met and married his current wife, having his first child in his mid twenties. He took a break from fighting at this point to raise his child and spend more time at home-- -- but this break would extend for far longer than intended as Ennulai gained an interest in the more traditional cerebral pursuits of his fellow Home Swarm Ka-Maraya. He pursued essay writing, record keeping and cultural analysis particularly, beginning to compile several essays, books and other writings on the matter. As he aged and grew, Ennulai’s curiosity in the outside world was only augmented. As was traditional for his family, he left he Home Swarm in his late thirties to travel the world a little away from his people. During his travels, he has valiantly protected a core of very conservative Marayan traditions but added onto them with aspects of other cultures which he enjoys. He keeps these noted down officially in a set of books which he keeps safe to this day.
Approved. However, I would recommend that you go back through this application at some point in the future and expand upon the life story. Other than that, I cannot see any issues here. Good job.
