Protagonist Work

Let's look at how we can compare the 4 protagonists!  Personality traits:  Veezal : Assertive, Zealous, Rebellious  Kaiyara : Gentle, Resilient, Beleaguered Zelrik : Passionate, Witty, Bitter  Tawnette : Exuberant, Creative, Struggling Ages:  Zelrik: 29 [what did he do from now 'til then?]  Kaiyara: 26 Veezal: 27 Tawnette: 33  

 All 3 of the party members besides Veezal struggle with acceptance, self-worth, and past trauma [maybe Veezal too...?]   Zelrik is struggling to hold his grasp on reality (he suffers from hallucination) [past trauma: kicked out of his family, also the entire left side of his family has been marked by The Other Side {which is why his sprite is purple}    Kaiyara is struggling to feel (she suffers from feeling deadened) [past trauma: overworked in her attempt to be a good little cog for her family, she's burned out and depressed]    Tawnette is struggling to adjust to her new life (she suffers from moping) [past trauma: a literal stroke which has crippled her artistic abilities] 

   For our resource-trinity system:  Lucidity is obviously Zelrik's bane {hallucinations}  Serenity is the bane of Tawnette  Hope is is the bane of Kaiyara  

 Why Are You Here?  Why is anyone in Cordann? Why does anyone take a job?  Background:  Socioeconomic status:  FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS:  Veezal: good-bad relationship with family (cheerfully oblivious to his family's disappointment in him) Kaiyara: bad-good relationship with family (subconsciously resents family, family blissfully unaware of the damage they've done to her)  Zelrik: bad-bad relationship with family (they each blame each other The Accident) Tawnette: good-good relationship with family, can't do art anymore, figures this was the best option left available to her.  TRAINING LEVELS:  Veezal: informal no, formal no (hoping to get trained on the job) Kaiyara: informal no, formal yes (dutifully went to a crash course after finishing university) Zelrik: informal yes, formal no (self-taught)  Tawnette: informal yes, formal yes (went to school after stroke)
