Character backstory of my Main Character Zaimos Curi

[claudius]

Zaimos Curi

Race: Island Amauna

 

Class: Rogue

 

Culture: the Living Lands

 

Background: Scientist

 

Zaimos Curi started out a small time thief who was not the most cruel and uncaring thief but did what was necessary to make a living.  He was relatively intelligent and good with picking locks and looking into the mechanism of booby traps and disarming them.  He was also clever and brought a rationale approach to matters.

 

He became a friend and lover of another Amauna named Saebat Holai but she was not a thief and was instead a scientist studying the relationship between plants and animals and the soul magic of animancy.  She wasn’t to any degree awakened or sensitive to soul magic but rather she was collaborating by writing correspondence and reading/research to other scientists or animancers and studying to find any animancy relationship to conventional categorizing and physiological biology of animal, plant, and mushroom organisms including mystical beasts.

 

Zaimos found he had a knack for science in particular building apparatus using his mechanics skill and he also pitched in to contemplate matters of reading research findings and case studies.  And finally research demands money and materials including rare reagents and as a thief he could contribute there as well.

 

Eventually his love died of a sickness and rather than try to continue her project in the Living Lands he elected to travel to Dyrwood Caravan and restart his life there.  He is wounded from his loss of his love and still is neither cruel or uncaring but also not the most benevolent and honest and is more self centered on becoming powerful and wealthy and falls in with the Doemenels but again he is really not cruel and not at all sadistic.
