Character description

Darian Stonelight is the stargazer of Seven Mile Bottom, known for his habit of walking with his head tilted back, eyes tracing unseen constellations. His mind wanders far, and sometimes his feet follow without care.

He leans too far into inquisitiveness (5). Curiosity pulls him toward every spark in the night sky, every question that drifts through the dark. This thirst for discovery fuels his wonder, but it can scatter his focus, leaving tasks unfinished on the ground below.

In contrast, Darian carries the strength of openness (4). He speaks with clear honesty, sharing his thoughts without disguise. People trust his words because they know they are given freely and without hidden weight.

Practical matters often slip past him. With a 2 in practicality, Darian prefers unusual solutions, inspired guesses, and experiments that others might dismiss. Sometimes they fail, sometimes they surprise, but rarely are they ordinary.

On other scales he sits in the middle. Neither bold nor timid (3 in bravery). Neither hasty nor overly patient (3 in pacing). Not aloof, not dependent (3 in independence). Neither harsh nor overindulgent (3 in kindness). Balanced in seriousness and play (3), he can be lighthearted or grave as the moment demands. Rules guide him, but not rigidly (3).

Darian is the dreamer who turns the fields of Seven Mile Bottom into a sky-map. He reminds the village that not all paths lie underfoot — some are charted in the stars above.
