Kidd Dracnar

"Wisdom is the Application of Knowledge"

## History

Born with an inherited nature, Kidd has wandered from town to town seeking the lore of the world. Futile as the effort might be, he has spent the vast majority of his life seeking to understand the history of the world as a whole so that one day he may understand his own. If asked where he comes from, he’ll be as vague as possible, no one could really be expected to believe the truth. It is in this wandering that he has found the most adventure and freedom, a path to the unexpected realms of knowledge that may one day make sense of what he’s experienced.

Yet there are always ways to hear the history of the tightlipped, and for this one, it begins in a very specific set of notebooks, ones which detail legends and stories one might only rarely hear on the lips of anyone outside the region of Argonne.

Amongst these exists notes of a city in which one does not walk, but must rely on flying boats to traverse lest they fall onto the grounds below which are so overcome with maelstromic arcane forces that a man exposed for only a few moments might just as quickly wither away to naught as he would twist and turn into abominations that drive viewers to madness by only the sight.

Or another, which is a village, in which no creature there exists who is not of outsider bloodline, for those that lack that trait become so rejected by the metaphysical laws there that their body rejects unto itself and expires with expeditious vehemence.

Such are the sometimes dreadful tales that these notebooks contain, experiences and stories which serve as warnings to the dangers of the arcane as much as they serve to emphasize the strength of the mystery, all culminating in a potential madness of which Nethys himself might be proud.

Over time, these notebooks have drifted away from the stricken lands they once knew in search of some degree of equilibrium upon which to start the foundations of what is an inevitable goal in his thirst for understanding. What is consistent in all of these notebooks - and perhaps even their writing is a lack of certainty in the final goal of how their "understanding" will manifest.

## Appearance

Dressed in black, contrasted with long white hair, Kidd often seems older than his years would allow. At times a frightening aura surrounds him, fending off those sensitive to such things. The cane he carries with him aiding in the appearance of aged beyond years and at time lends to the ‘kind old man’ persona. One that may, or may not, have any truth.

## Personality

Two words: Jovial and Fun loving. Okay, three words but Kidd isn’t one to keep count. The curious nature of his race has allowed him to remain optimistic in spite of his life’s trials. He’s not one to sit and recall the past, though at times memories will strike his mind and fleeting moments will rob the lightheartedness he tends to have. Most times however, he’s there to observe. Never far from his notebook and always scribbling something down.

## Loves

“There is no truer form of love than the love of knowledge. Though that’s also the truest form of madness.”

## Fears

The only thing Kidd fears in life is to never learn the truth.

## Family

Kidd has no surviving family. A tragedy that comes with age and leading the life of a traveler. What family he did have is lost to the memories of times past, figments and whisps barely solid enough to believe they ever existed.

## Friends

“Define ‘friends’”.

Friends are messy and often place expectations upon each other that cannot be met. There are many who would consider Kidd to be their friend, but he’s not inclined to use that word lightly.

## Enemies

Any and all who would hide the secrets of this world. Kidd has no time for those that intentionally seek to mislead and misinform. A good puzzle is not the same as someone who willingly deceives in order to keep knowledge away from those who seek it.

## Aspirations

The only thing Kidd aspires to is the something that only one has ever accomplished: The completion of Knowledge.

“It’s an improbable goal. But not impossible.”
