Linndan

Scholar Linndan House Leshar'ien

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

He’s very tall and slender. He has longish light brown hair and light brown eyes. He often wears his hair tied back in a loose tail.    Outwardly, he looks human and identifies as such.     He’s right handed.

Body Features

He has a number of tattoos that denote the deities he follows. Largely he keeps them covered to avoid questions as some of them aren’t Melphorian.

Physical quirks

He slides his fingers into his hair when he’s trying to solve a problem.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

He’s a demi-god. This heritage was kept a secret from him for much of his life for his safety.   He was born in Naisfaar, his House’s small holding. He doesn’t stay in one place for long enough to call it home. This is to help him keep his immortality a secret.   His closest friend is a Cuerge named Ellias. He’s from a world called Liulge and at present is only a skull. Linndan is helping him to find the rest of his body.   His childhood was unpleasant. He was often teased for knowing things he shouldn’t. He couldn’t have known it was just his divine heritage making intuitive leaps. Things improved as he got older and learned to keep things to himself. Scholar training helped as well.   Uras isn’t one of the more popular or widely followed gods, but he’s still known. Linndan tends to avoid places where Uras has a strong influence as there’s a distinct familial resemblance.

Education

Linndan is a fully trained Scholar and has earned his Quill. He completed his training at the Scholar’s Institute.

Accomplishments & Achievements

He’s been to every world in the Aetherium that has a waypoint.   He wrote the book Aolon’s Valediction under a pen name.

Mental Trauma

He lives in fear that Empress Hihaye will learn his secret and not deal with it well.

Intellectual Characteristics

Because of how he was raised, he inherently believes that men are inferior in many ways to women and he often defers to them, even off-world. It was only after seeing how things were done elsewhere that he started breaking himself of that habit.   His horses are more important to him than anything, despite their short lifespans. They serve as transport and company. He’s had a number of horses, all geldings, from the various worlds he’s been to.

Personality Characteristics

Likes & Dislikes

He loves horses and books. His enforced solitude makes him sad. Willful ignorance makes him angry.   When he was little, he wanted to be a knight before he understood that this was impossible for men.   He avoids physical conflict but loves a good debate. He’s an excellent listener and has been known to tell stories on occasion.   He’s slow to trust. He doesn’t hold grudges, as he doesn’t see the point. He’s not a leader and avoids crowds. If he could, he would give up his immortality.

Social

Contacts & Relations

He carries with him a skull. It’s no ordinary skull. It talks. It originated from the world of Liulge. His name is Ellias, a member of the Cuerge. He’s careful to only speak with Linndan when they’re alone, but mistakes happen.

Family Ties

Father: Uras the Trapper Paternal Grandfather: Tenyuu Paternal Grandmother: Xitolian   Mother: Aylesia of House Leshar’ien Stepfather: Vathin of House Tulak Siblings: He has a few half siblings, but he was never close to them. They have descendants that he keeps track of but he stays away from them just in case.

Religious Views

Among the gods, he has the most respect for Yuleta. He believes in what She stands for. He despises Not. He has no time for practical jokes.

Hobbies & Pets

His current horse is named Xantoxu. He’s a 16.1hh silver dapple stallion. He is a hot-headed 5 year old with no marking on his face, and his four leg markings consist of a fetlock on his right front leg, a fetlock on his left front leg, a stocking on his right hind leg, and a sock on his left hind leg.
