Kæodonian Academic

You dedicated your life to advancing not only your own knowledge but also Kæo's. You work in one of the academies of Kæodonia, specializing in something that amazes you. (Or perhaps you were forced by your parents?) As it is the way in Kæo, you study methodologically, honoring the scientific method with your everyday work.

(For the Kæodonian Academic, you can think about the stereotypical 19th-20th century British Scientific Method where the scientists are obsessed with classifying and noting down everything.)

Following sub-backgrounds are examples and they will affect the equipment and roleplay flavor:

Suggested Characteristics

Following characteristics can be used directly or incorporated into the backstory.

Knowledge comes before everything. I am willing to risk my life.
My life at the academy is very competitive. I spend every day among colleagues who'd love to watch me fail.
The scientific method fascinates me. It is my life's goal to explain all the phenomena by logic and science.
It upsets me that magic and science are fighting each other nowadays. Two should go hand in hand.
Magic is for the elderly. The future is science and automation.

Variant Kæodonian Academic: "Fallen Academic"

Whelp... Things at the academy didn't go great but who needs those pushy suck-ups?

Variant Feature: Fallen Researcher

When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you often know where and from whom you can obtain it. You no longer have access to most libraries and places of knowledge.

You gain proficiency in another language or tool.
