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)
