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:
Sanity is obviously Zelrik's bane {hallucinations}
Morale(?) is... the bane of Kaiyara or Tawnette
Resource3 is the bane of the other one
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)
