Motivation: Zebulon was recently confirmed as a Journeyman rank mage by the mage's guild where he grew up and is now traveling to expand his knowledge beyond books and schooling so that he can attain the rank of Master. Blending his merchant childhood and his mage education, he seeks to travel from place to place offering his services to people in need.
Weakness: If Zebulon has one primary vice, it’s Pride. He thinks highly of himself, and it often too proud to admit when he is wrong or has made a mistake. Small mistakes come to him often, however, as he is relatively naive and out of the loop on current politics and culture. He is highly motivated by duty, honor, and a sense of obligation to his family and guild, which leads to a somewhat rigid or stuffy attitude. He prefers to be called by his full first name and does not like nicknames. He is essentially Lawful Good in character, but his devotion to the law is based on academic understanding and not through personal experience with difficult choices or morally ambiguous situations. Also, he is easily flustered by flirtation.
Character Biography: Zebulon comes from a modest traveling merchant family. He spent his childhood travelling in their caravan, helping with the chores and expecting that one day he would follow in his family's trade along with his brothers and sisters. Instead, he discovered he had an innate talent for magic when he was twelve, and his father sent him to apprentice at a mage's guild in the city. The guild not only taught him magic and alchemy, but also taught him how to read, study, and hone his acute observational skills. He learned a variety of subjects, ranging from history and religion to math and astronomy. Feeling duty-bound to his family and his school but also excited by everything there was to learn, he took his studies very seriously, and has done little else during his years at the guild. Despite being serious minded and studious, however, he has always been reasonably friendly and sociable, though he does not have many close friends. His rigorous and disciplined life has also left little time for romance, so he is emotionally inexperienced in many ways.
After 10 years with the guild, Zebulon achieved the Journeyman rank, as mentioned above, and has been set loose on the world for the first time at the age of 22.
Anything else you think we should know?: Zebulon is the equivalent of a recent college grad - well educated but inexperienced, and a bit at a loss. He has long term goals, but isn’t sure how to go about achieving them.
Hope that all works! I added a couple unlisted skills that seemed reasonable (empathy, riding, academic stuff). I'm not sure which skill to use for horse riding; Strength or Agility make the most sense to me.
Also I wanted to ask if Zebulon could have a horse.
He has riding skills, and would like it to help him carry some of his stuff.
