Kaelen de Vaux

📌 Basic Data

Name: Kaelen de Vaux

Age: 17 years

Position: Head Servant of the Eldermist House

• Origin: Orphan raised from a young age in the kitchens and stables of the mansion.

📝 Who is he?

Kaelen grew up carrying firewood, cleaning armor, and feeding the nobles' horses, listening from afar to conversations about unknown lands, dragons, and ancient ruins. With calloused hands but ever-bright eyes, he knows every corner of the house, but dreams of the paths that lead out from the main gate. He is loyal, humble, and observant—he learned to listen more than to speak, keeping each story like a treasure in his heart. Even knowing that his place is there, he feels that the world has much more in store for him than just serving.

✨ Your Wishes and Dreams

✅ Leaving the walls: Exploring the dark forests, climbing the abandoned towers, and seeing with his own eyes what lies beyond the mountains he sees from the mansion's rooftop.
✅ Finding companions: You don't want to go it alone — you dream of forming a group you can trust: a fearless warrior, a sage who has read all the secrets, an archer who knows every shortcut… people who are also seeking something greater.
✅ Discover your worth: You don't want to be remembered only as "the servant who carried the bags." You want to prove that courage and kindness have no titles, and that even those who start from the bottom can change the course of a story.
✅ Unraveling mysteries: There are legends about the Great Tree and the City of Towers that he can't forget—and he believes they hold answers about his own past.

Calloused hands: From cleaning horses, lifting stones, and repairing doors—they are strong hands that know how to tie perfect knots, calm frightened animals, and mend what is broken.

• Keen hearing: He has spent so much time listening in hiding that he can distinguish the sound of new armor from old armor, or the footsteps of a friend from those of an enemy, even from a distance.

• Subtle luck: Always finds water when he needs it most, or a safe path where everyone says there is no way — as if the earth itself were guiding him slowly.

🎯 Your Desires and Motivations

• Seeing the world beyond the walls: You want to tread on the peaks where dragons fly, enter the ruins beside the city of towers, and discover what lies on the other side of the grey mountains.

• Finding companions: Seeks people who also have big dreams — it doesn't matter if they are warriors, scholars, hunters, or outsiders; wants people who are willing to trust and fight side by side.

• Discovering his past: Something tells him that the Great Tree, the mysterious city, and the reason he was found there are connected—and he wants to understand what it means.

• To be useful: He doesn't seek titles or fame — he wants to know that, when the road gets tough, he was the one who held the door open, who gave strength, who didn't leave anyone behind.

• Origin: Orphan found as a baby at the foot of the Great Ancestral Tree, taken in and raised in the mansion ever since.

🧠 Personality Traits

• Keen observer: Notice the glint of a worn sword, the way a traveler holds the hilt, or the direction of the wind before a storm—things that nobles never notice.
  ​
• Calm and patient: Doesn't get irritated by orders or mockery; keeps their ideas like seeds, waiting for the right moment for them to sprout.
  ​
  Loyalty above all else: If you trust someone, you'll stand by them even when everyone else runs away—but you won't blindly follow those who don't deserve respect.
  ​
• A dreamer with his feet on the ground: He knows that adventures aren't all glory — he's heard stories of hunger, cold, and danger, and he prepares for them without silly illusions.
  ​
  Modest but determined: He never thinks he's better than anyone else, but he also doesn't back down when he sees injustice or something that needs to be done.
  ​
• Curious and attentive: He asks polite questions, studies hidden maps, and tries to decipher the ancient symbols on the mansion's stones.

✨ Special Details and Things It Carries

• A scribbled map: Old parchment sheets, sewn together with leather thread, where he draws every tower, valley, and ruin he hears about—it has notes like “here the wind smells of salt,” “dragons sighted at dusk.”
  ​
• Tin lantern: Rusty, but polished every day; it has a small crack mark that resembles the shape of the Great Tree — it was the first object he repaired himself.
  ​
• Small pot of earth: He picked up a handful of soil beside the Great Tree when he was little; he always carries it with him, as if it were a little piece of home wherever he goes.
  ​
• Leather belt: Used, with pockets full of nails, pieces of rope, a stone with a strange scratch, and a piece of charcoal for writing.
