Personality Profile [sws_short s=”pers”]
Benedor is a quiet and reserved individual interested in security and peaceful living. He has a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends him a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in his approach, he can generally succeed at any task which he undertakes.
He is afraid of rejection, he wants to please. His coping mechanism is to bottle things up. After many years he still resents his brother Maldrake. Dry humor makes him produce a bellowing laugh. He has a low baritone voice and he typically speaks like an upper middle class subject of the realm. He has thought of a vacation in Ryia to see the ocean or long talks while weaving with his mother. His favorite hideaway would probably be under the bridge over the river Lavok, between Rivercup and Westlyn in Teek.
He is very loyal, faithful, and dependable. He places great importance on honesty and integrity. He is a “good citizen” who can be depended on to do the right thing for family and community. While he generally takes things very seriously, he also usually has an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun – especially at family or work-related gatherings.
Benedor tends to believe in laws and traditions, and expects the same from others. He’s not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If he is able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, he will support that effort. However, he will more often tend to believe that things should be done according to procedure and plan. If he has not developed his Intuitive side sufficiently, he may become overly obsessed with structure, and insist on doing everything “by the book.”
If there is any object he values it is his father’s sword, which was gifted to him.
